Like the title says, I haven't been this bored with D2 in years. The portal just rehashes the same handful of activities over and over, despite the base game still possessing dozens of strikes, crucible modes, Gambit, im stuck playing the same things over and over because its the only way to get meaningful loot. Not to mention im forced to only play the hardest content if I want worthwhile rewards which gets old especially if im just farming resources to upgrade.
I absolutely hate how im locked out of using all my old gear because if I do then im penalized by taking more damage and dealing less plus my reward multiplier gets chunked causing you to get less and weaker rewards despite a lack of weapons in the current game. The New/Featured gear mechanic NEEDS TO GO ASAP!!!!
The power leveling system feels awful and punishing especially if you like to play all 3 characters. Not to mention the cost to upgrade and item you haven't used in a while is ridiculous and often I find myself farming weak gear just so I can infuse the item I want up to my current power.
While the tier system is cool it makes me view anything below T4 or T5 as a place holder to be deleted later.
Exotic armors feel left behind, mainly the new ones since they lack artifice slots and seem to only be locked at T3 levels.
I hate how everything is tied to power levels which locks you out of a lot of content until you reach a threshold, and adds a lot of weird thresholds were your too strong for base content, but too weak for higher content and need to be carried until you reach a higher level.
Vendors feel useless now and somehow EoF made the whole game feel less rewarding overall. Plus RNG is super annoying given you now rely 100% on it for new weapons.
Its annoying the cooldown times for abilities are no longer shown till that ability is equipped, despite different melees and grenades still having slower or faster cooldowns. Same for supers.
The game has taken too much of a shift towards single player activities which has caused the game to lose its soul. Solo destinations feel boring and the fact that solo ops is the best way to level feels boring.
In its current stare D2 feels a like a mobile phone gotcha game where your only meant to login for a couple hours each day before you run out of stuff to do and need to wait for the next reset.
At this point im certain the bungie higher ups are intentionally trying to crash the game now that Sony has taken over.
Bungie if your listening you need to fix this before Renegades drops. Especially by removing the New/Featured gear mechanic which seems like sunsetting light.

Portal is a free to play progression system for retention after all. Now Recycling content we already paid for over time on rotation since it will be new for free to play audience Still gets about 40,000-50,000 thousand players daily. Sure there are some Eververse purchases being made in there lol * Yeah system needs more variety. At least have weekly rotations...

It’s a real slog after reaching 400. So boring when drop rate is super slow.

Bungie: Play how you want :) Also Bungie: IF, you don’t use the new EoF gear, expect to do less damage and get locked out of content. Also buy more eververse.

I hope Bungie see this

I was actually grateful that a friend of mine asked me to come farm Encore. I was, and still am, utterly sick of Solo Ops. The same four -blam!--ing activities over and over and over and over and over and over… well you get the idea… and over and over and over and over and over again. Absolutely -blam!--ing boring. And I haven’t even been serious about the grind, and I’m utterly sick of it already. I was supposed to get on and do the solstice event on my Warlock and Hunter. What is the point though? So I can do more grinding in The Portaloo? I know that by doing this it will lessen the grind on my other two characters, but at this point I’ve had enough and don’t care. I’m going to bed and starting tomorrow I’m looking for another game to play. I really love this franchise but this is not any fun at all, it’s barebones crap and worse than D2 Vanilla. At least we had lots of new places to explore in D2 Vanilla.

Edited by [SOVER3IGN^_-L0ST]: 8/17/2025 12:41:28 AMYeah, this is exactly how I felt. There is literally no endgame and no point of playing raids or dungeons. If before I used to jump in to weekly ones to help folks, now I don’t feel like this anymore. I’ve played for 2 weeks in a very lazy fashion, reached level 300, got through campaign, got to level 103 on my pass and simply stopped playing. I also only started playing when they finally fixed the audio issues on PS5. There is a lot of better games nowadays. I never played Forza Horizon since I was always on PlayStation. Now I am having a blast grinding H5 instead on my PS5. Also my Friends who only play on Xbox will finally be able to play Helldivers 2 on August 26, so I will definitely play that and show new recruits what Democracy is about:) Just going to put them in to Super Helldive right away so they get all the difficulties unlocked and get PTSD. This is amazing that’s there is no longer hardware walls on this great games and everyone can enjoy them:) Anyway, bungo and their absolutely ridiculous decisions can go somewhere else with their business. My wallet is forever closed for them. I will only return during ash of iron, get my pass rewards, play a little and bounce out again until renegades comes out. They also made me feel like a moron preordering the year of prophecy. That I will not forgive, so not a single penny will be spent on their game. If you feel burned out from Destiny, go play something else. Don’t torture yourself with this garbage. Cheers and I wish you a great rest of the weekends;)

I was thinking last night about how much I missed just dropping into the Tower and buying Upgrade Modules compared to running three or four Solo Ops to get the materials to upgrade my gear - but Bungie wants us running Ops, not visiting the Tower. I get it, but as many have said, this really does damage to build crafting. "I want to try a new build, but my gear is all low level, and I have to run Ops to get Infusion fodder and Unstable Cores in order to level it up." On the one hand it makes sense, on the other hand it's a helluva frustration to have to run Ops in order to level up my gear in order to try out a new build to run Ops with. I kind of miss Upgrade Modules.
