Well, I waited and hoped for a long time that things would somehow change. Destiny is still one of my favorite games, but it seems this is the end. To be honest, I don't understand what you're getting paid for. It seems like literally none of you are working on the game, or even want to. The question is, why are you even here? It feels like the janitor is working on the game in between mopping the floors. You released a $150 expansion that literally killed the game, without giving us ANYTHING meaningful to do. Hell, I'd rather go back and play Curse of Osiris. For half a year now, you've failed to make the game even remotely playable. It's nothing but bugs, glitches, and a complete lack of content. Let me break it down for you. 1. The Portal System is a Joke. This is one massive mistake that should have been removed immediately after you released it. Nobody likes it. You ruined both Power level progression and new content. The old Pinnacle rewards system was clear and provided a stable Power increase, allowing us to get rewards from different sources. Now, we get to "enjoy" running the same OLD mission over and over to level up to 550 just for a Tier 5 drop? In what universe do you live where you think this is even remotely interesting to anyone? 2. The "Content" is an Embarrassment. For the price of a full-fledged expansion, we got a scrap with a plot full of holes, seemingly pulled out of thin air by ChatGPT. I refuse to believe that this nonsense was written by an actual screenwriter; you can't convince me otherwise. The only thing that turned out halfway decent was the new planet, it's indeed not bad. But that's where the pros end. There is no new content or activities. In the past, when an expansion dropped, you literally didn't need to leave the game because there were both seasonal activities and expansion activities. Now, you're once again offering us to play old activities and throw in "fun events" once every two weeks. 3. Game Design and Balance - My Favorite Topic. Tell me this: after 8 long years, with a collection of exotic armor and weapons spanning 3 pages, why do you only rework 1 armor piece and 1 weapon per year? 90% of everything you've created is unplayable—it's either outdated or was useless from the very start. A simple example: Hunters. Out of all the exotic armor, maybe 4-5 are actually viable. Everything else just collects dust in the vault. For two seasons in a row, you've given them exotics that should have just been baseline abilities. But no, in your opinion, Mask of Fealty and Moirai are worthy of being exotic armor? So playable, right? The elements are completely outdated. Even after the recent transition to 2.0, they already need a rework to 3.0, or even 4.0. You should have introduced an additional window for passive buffs long ago, similar to the Aspects one, bringing back old seasonal mods for different elements—like the Restoration from class abilities for Solar. Build weapon-type buffs directly into the ELEMENTS. For example, hitting targets with a Strand weave could apply a "Deconstruction" debuff, amplifying damage. This would both strengthen the weak Darkness archetype and provide more DPS variety. 4. The Regional Ban - The Final Nail in the Coffin. And finally, the grand finale: a regional ban on the entire CIS community right after you released your worst expansion and hit rock bottom in terms of player count. Bravo, I applaud you. You might not know this, but a huge number of your players are from the CIS region. But you decided that we are to blame for what's happening now, so you just switched us off, ignoring us for a whole week and then brushing us off as if we don't exist. The game has been unavailable for 2 months now, and apparently, you have no intention of pressing a single button and just apologizing for this madness you've orchestrated. It's a shame. A real, deep shame. In conclusion, I want to say that I am grateful to Destiny for allowing me to find so many people I've played with, for the time spent, and for the interest and emotions it gave me all these years. But alas, the game is in the wrong hands. Bungie doesn't want to work on the game. They don't want to improve it. They don't want to fix what's been sinking for a long time. Everything happening with the game right now is just awful. How did one of the most unique games on the market turn into a pale shadow of its former self? How did a tight-knit community and a developer who listened and wanted to hear its players turn into milking the remaining players and completely ignoring them? Well done, Bungie. You killed Destiny.
