[quote]Guys… I really really wanna keep playing destiny- however, with the current state- it’s increasing difficult to play for more than 30 mins. Rewards for most activities are dog -blam!- unless you’re already at 400 or near. Trials is in ruins, crucible is more broken than ever. Strikes are fine- don’t change them- however higher difficulty NEEDS better rewards. Bring back vendor ranks and reward tracks- everything feels pointless now and I don’t get the same YESS feeling from hitting rank 16 twice. Xur feels a little bland now- Bungie- you’re slowly killing your player base- sure events may bring back players for a few weeks but after that- there’s nothing to do- no seasonal story, no new activities. Just updated activities from 7 years ago. Free roam is boring asfk, no new public events, no lost sectors on Kepler. Public event rewards might as well just be an achievement saying “wow! You wasted your time.” Don’t get me wrong- I LOVED the new dlc- but many refused to buy it before and even now now, due to the lack Of real care for the community. You may be transparent about what’s happening but you’re not transparent about real issues in destiny and some are going entirely unnoticed even tho many people are complaining and giving points and views. You’ve made this community and now you’re killing it too. Bring the episodes back. Bring vendor ranks back. Give better rewards. Fix issues LIKE THE ENTIRE CRUCIBLE. And fix trials- trials was better before edge of fate. I’m fine with grind- I play Warframe- but this is a chore. Playing destiny feels like having adhd- I want to do it- but now I can barely get myself to.[/quote] The clickbait title doesn't match the tone of the post. I don't agree with everything you say but I certainly can't argue that you don't make valid points. I think most would agree that pre-EoF Destiny was badly in need of some changes. And Bungie made [b]a lot[/b] of changes. I think some seem good and some seem bad and for some it's too soon to call. They're trying a ton of things and I think for a lot of them the verdicts going to be out until after the initial tweaking phase. I agree Kepler is lacking. Pvp is tragic. I don't think most of us understand the Portal system in depth so we're not getting the most out of it. Modifier systems for gameplay, difficulty, and rewards are more complex and may allow players to influence basic game mechanics more than ever before. Regrettably, Bungie seems to have left any through explanations of the hows and whys up to content providers. I see the potential - tons of customization and variety - but much of it is locked behind power level. And that means The Grind. Progress seems more predictable and controllable but the number is just so huge it feels way slower. And it's frustrating that it matters in so many ways. Just tweaking the power level system would go a long way to lessen complaints. And rethinking the looming expansion reset would be a good place to start. I've got to say though that I'm enjoying playing. I'm not rushing. I'm not going to let fomo or the grind ruin the game for me. I try to just laugh off pvp. I understand why some players are pissed. I think there's a lot of overreacting though. I hope the games not dying. I've loved it for a long time. And I still do.
