What happened to the fun?
I remember getting to log on and just have fun. Run through strikes and just have fun. Even some raid stuff was just fun.
Now it is all grind. Everything has to have so many negative modifiers and everything is timed. It took all of the fun away when everything we do requires high focus. I don’t play to have another job. I play to have fun with friends and other online people.
Seriously. Go back to the drawing board and figure out what fun means after a long day of work or any other life difficulties.
Also, this moving everything in the director to only use the portal? That ain’t it.
I guess you lost the playbook on immersive experience and fun.
If I want to just grind out disjointed modes with no cohesion I’ll go play a card game or something.
10 years of amazing immersive story (not perfect) and you drop it all in the trash.
Ever wonder why people actually pay monthly for some games? They are fun.

Completely agree! Pre EoF, I used to log on and enjoy literally EVERY activity. Even when I felt some parts of the story could have been better or didn't match past lore, I STILL enjoyed playing. I could mindlessly run strikes, seasonal activities, or go solo a dungeon or a GM Nightfall if I wanted to challenge myself. We ran several raids a week in my clan. I helped several people get raid seals they were chasing. There were a good 2 solid pages of players on every day. Now...it's a ghost town. No one wants to raid. I can't get anyone for any activities. After getting to 400 before Ash and Iron, it was such a slog, I did 107 Caldera and several runs of the other solo activities. It HAS become more like a second job. There are times after work that I log on and just play around with armor ornaments and shaders, then log off. I can't bring myself to do the stuff I enjoyed, because it just isn't there anymore. The Kepler story was good, but the power grind and delta are just too much for someone with a full time job. Being 50+ under for nearly every activity just to get good loot is demoralizing and has effectively destroyed the bliss I found in this game pre EoF. This game that I met so many people to make life less lonely. Now it's a lonely solo grind that just elicits angry Hive noises from me.
