Unplayable for average players
This game was great! Been playing for 11 years and I cant even recognize it. They have jacked everything up so much its almost impossible to play. The difficulty is beyond insane!! I am currently level 324 and just ran some fireteam quick play master and my exotic gun was hitting for 4!! 4, and that was in the sweet spots!! Wtaf?!?! Are you joking? Had 4 people quitting out, and now we randomly explode. Do you, bungie, even test any of this? Or do you just rely on the you tubers or the folks that fly around with some magic that I have no idea to do?
Stop with all your BS. Make the gam fun again AND STOP LISTENING TO YOU TUBERS!! And remember that most of us are just normal people. And we, as normal players is what supports this game!!

It's unplayable for everyone. The season of "My will is my own" is the season of locked loadouts, ridiculous timers and forced gear. #ironic

Edited by vI Demon Iv: 9/19/2025 9:36:22 PMYou seem to not understand what's going on here. They're killing Destiny for Marathon. While they're all gone, these clowns learned from the previous regime and how they brought Halo so low they were able to get out of making it anymore. Same thing here. Destroy Destiny to the point they're able to move on. EDIT: Felt the need to clarify, I agree with you OP and I vehemently disagree with what Bungie is doing to this game.

They should bring back the guy who failed trying to kill an overload champion in a live stream. They should make him play 8 hours a day and then base all patches on his feedback. -
1 ReplyI stopped playing when I hit 360, it's grandmaster from that point on. Grandmaster is not fun. No fun means no more money for Bungie from me.

It’s more a case of really bad to no balancing. At 420 I had to play 470 content to increase power. At 450, it was 500. At 490, it’s still 500. Bungie just made the game but nobody apparently play tested and it outside of shooting range. Consequence is it may seem ridiculously tough or mind numbing boring based on where you are in power band. Maybe if one of the folks working in more eververse items was shifted to game balance or testing, most of these issues would go away easily.

10 RepliesThey have cranked the game up to max forgotten the casual and lower skilled players, gone are the days we can just jump in and have some fun. They have gone out of their way to remove anything that was fun from the game to make it nothing but a grind. From the EOF developer stream I knew they were killing Destiny for me, so much locked behind higher level content or raids. Bring back the old days pathfinders, bounties weekly vendor. I used to love waking up in the morning grabbing a few things jumping into strikes and doing them for an hour or so and achieve something. Now the game is just a grind, I have hit 400 mostly by the the weekly events but now I look at the portal and go I am not going to do grandmaster because I am not at that skill and Bungie you need to look at all your players, let the casual players gain levels and equipment. I honestly miss the weekly quest where we had to do 3 strikes/cruible/gambit, it mixed up my activities for the week.

What weapon are we talking about? The game is easier than it has ever been. -
Why are you still blaming YouTubers ???? Even they aren’t defending Bungie? Your poor performance in game or the poor performance by Bungie has nothing to do with YouTubers. Go touch some grass and drop the entitlement.

Can't even play PvP because everyone is cracked, either very good players who've played 10 years, cheats/smurfs on new accounts, & people using 3rd party devices. Whole game needs to just burn

3 RepliesAs someone who can do the harder content like solo mythic Kepler, I understand you. Its punishing, not fun! Not what a game is supposed to be!

4 RepliesEdited by LikwiD_SmOkE22: 9/18/2025 12:06:14 AMThe reason why you see low damage numbers like that is because they reworked everything to reflect the power change in EoF Also idk what youre using but ive been playing on grandmaster in solo ops & continue to complete every activity with several minutes to spare. I pretty much only run warlock. If you want an idea you can inspect my character.

running a reclaim at 450 is bullet sponge yellow bars. there are ads like yellow bar ball that are way out of balance take way to much damage. they have things really goofed up. they need to leave every broken thing in the game not remove it. until they fix the ads. cause its not fun, players getting smoked right out of the gate with no lives left is not working bungie.

2 RepliesI don't think they are listening to the YouTubers anymore because the clips I've seen are saying exactly what we are saying here or transitioning over to B4.
-
The system needs to be changed. Raids and dungeons need tiered loot to engage the endgame players and the portal needs to be tuned down imo.

2 RepliesYou’re not wrong about the modifiers and difficulty, but I think there’s also a build issue. I would not be running Actium Warrig with HC / sidearm on a void build with the current artifact.

1 ReplyEdited by THA_3rd_GUY: 9/18/2025 6:46:25 PMThey're not even listening to YouTubers. Who asked for a permadeath mechanic for Solo Ops and Patrol?

2 RepliesAfter playing rising and seeing the creativity they have shown in only a few weeks it is almost ignorantly obvious Bungie was listening to the wrong people and fallowing management that only cared about numbers than making a fun game. Personally Bungie has shown all along they are the problem and I think people should just walk away and let Sony take over and possibly give Destiny the No man sky redemption story it could have.

7 RepliesI'm just chiming in to say that I agree, sadly. The last time I tried to do a Fireteams Op I got absolutely walloped, kind of felt like it was a waste of my time to even try, now I'm LL360 and when I play I'm doing Solo Ops, because that's what I can do. I don't want to deny good players the opportunity to do hard content! I just don't like feeling like a useless member of my fireteam, I don't like feeling like the weak link, and as a middling to average player I often feel like I'm the weak link. This isn't good for my teammates, either; who wants to bring a mediocre player into a Nightfall or Grandmaster? I'm a liability in group content, so I stick to Solo Ops. Some folks will say "Just don't play the harder content!" and that's fair, but then I'm not advancing my character, I'm not getting Light Levels, I'm not getting high Tiered loot, which is kind of the entire point of the Portal system in the first place. We're disincentivized from playing easier content, we're incentivized to play harder content, it's kind of a catch/22. I miss old school Strikes, where I could drop in and still feel like I'm contributing. I don't contribute much at Master and Grandmaster levels; I'm the guy you have to keep rezzing up.

This. As someone who can do most of the content. I agree with this sentiment. The difficulty ramped up way too fast early on in the leveling process. Post 400 or 450, maybe give us some grief. But up until then, it should be pretty moderate.
