Portal and EOF I'd say really were a mistakes. * Pvp shows no signs of improvement, especially when probably most of the players staying are complete tryhards * No rotation of other game modes in the pvp portal like Scorched or Mayhem * Gambit abandoned, but effectively being replaced with Invasion in Renegades * No more "one armor fits most builds" * Locking weapon and armor tiers behind level and guardian rank THEN forcing stupidly high performance ratings (in all but pvp) once you are high enough * Timers are almost always too short, especially in conquests, or teams have a habit of wasting lives * Dungeon lairs without updated dungeon loot * I have ZERO interest in the raid, especially if the only way to increase the reward tiers according to their epic raid announcement is to activate feats and pray RNG works for you, regardless of your level * Eververse got more TLC than the game itself, waiting until the game is at it's lowest point before giving us perhaps the most requested cosmetics since Taken King * Bonus engrams have a terrible habit of going to non-matchmade activities which won't be worth doing unless you're getting T5 gear or at least gear to infuse with * Bungie still doesn't fully understand the point of a level system or they'd stop capping us dozens of levels below the enemy all the time. Custom games shouldn't feel almost necessary to get the best rewards with the highest chances of getting them via modifier selection * Ash and Iron was basically dead on arrival I'm having a tough time finding the motivation to do anything on here. Between the miserable grind to and past 450, the limited options to have any actual fun, and finally trying and loving Clair Obscur, I might just hold off on destiny until Renegades.

Yep. It's just a level selector now. We should be able to patrol destinations, complete public events and still be able to grind Power. Yes you can still farm levels for efficiency but you should still be able to switch off, slap a new build on and mindlessly kill dregs in the cosmodrome and still be somewhat rewarded for your time.

When it launched my theory of the portal (and desaturation of the Destinations map) was so that they could phase out destinations and not have to program large areas outside of mission areas once they had us conditioned to accept it.

This. I think having targeted rewards is important. Knowing what you're earning and pursuing will make it easier for some players, but the Portal is sterilizing. It still needs work .

Meanwhile, I’ll gladly wonder around the open world in Boarderlands for hours just doing whatever comes my way.

That is what happens when you focus an entire expansion around recycled content, there is nothing new to explore!

forget the portal nobody is joining any raids dungeons or campain missions this game is for real dead. imma play what i enjoy in the game until its closed down after YOU all pay for EoF and Renegades, just watch

Couldn't agree more pal! The heart and soul of the open world is gone and needs to be brought back. Its all now just roblox style 'Pick your box' and 'Race the clocks'... utterly heartless. I spend most of my solo time in old PZs quite a bit anyway, trying new guns for eg but I do it more now coz Portal activities give me nothing, levelling up is impossible and its more fulfilling chilling with randomers than wasting away in Kepler or Pale Heart with no randomers. At least PH looked good though... Kepler is just insipid. Ok Cosmodrome dont give primes of course but at least it has heart and soul.

You can still explore all of these areas.🤷‍♀️

They put up Vex barriers in the Plaguelands so you can't explore other areas after you're done your objectives. Which is funny that Bungie went to these lengths to keep players from exploring, yet apparently people have already found a way to OOB into Wrath.

Sure we bring the chat onscreen and HAVE TOXIC PlAYERS FULL OUT. that's y I wouldn't even have chat on full stop. Noone wants it

“Bungie” ran out of Ideas when they introduced “Star Wars” like features & decided to cut corners on added more planets or un-vault previous ones. Bungie - 😡 You guys really like us to bring back the 🔨 Me - 🥺

A dev said Destiny players just want to get into a level without all the fuss. Even renegades is being designed with this in mind from the beginning
