On a positive note, it seems like they're walking back on a lot of things. The portal will probably stick around for a while but they're at least planning on adding stuff to make it more "old Destiny". The thing that's annoying me most at the moment is the whole portal-micromanagement. You basically have to fiddle with modifiers and take a bunch of things into consideration to be able to earn decent rewards in daily activities. Most people probably just want to sign in, start an activity and get something worthwhile for their current power level.

[quote]You know… Back in a days I used to always play Grandmasters, weekly dungeons, raids, just for fun, Sherpa people, working on titles. Today opened the game, checked the bright dust store, bought couple shaders, opened this… Wretched, stinky, soulless portal, scrolled through all the activities in the fireteam tab, majority of them don’t have matchmaking. I launched proving grounds, I also noticed its says 326 but when clicking on it, its 324 rewards. I customized, it launched me on my own. I turned the game off completely. -blam!-, I miss days when I could just open finder, find a silly LFG and play some raids, join on friends who are working on catalyst at dungeons, silly conversations… Grand Master nightfalls? Farming the best rolls possible for guns I want… Getting that rush when you finally get a God Roll lotus eater… All just gone. Now it’s just a garbage imitation of Netflix. You know that feeling, you launch it to watch something, spend 30 minutes scrolling it, did not find anything, question why am I even paying for subscription and go watch something silly YouTube videos? Thats exactly the vibes I get with Destiny. Literally same feeling. I want to play it, but it’s not the same game anymore. This call to arms event, I am not even interested in it, in its rewards, like at all. I have no clue what is going right now, what’s the meta, what’s the point. Before I used to trying to get a nice guns for raids so I can deal insane damage, soloing dungeons, feeling strong. Now, not so much. It’s just constant punishment and the most annoying modifiers to ever imagine. This scoring system makes me cringe. This light level farm, it’s just garbage. Everything in this game is a total and complete garbage now. Of course I can still play raids, but there is not that many people there and i only have couple weapons lever up to 320. Also there is no reason for me to play those, since the guns for crafting or adept version are completely useless. Idk, I will play campaign of renegades, because I paid for it like an idiot and then I will never spend a single dollar on this game ever. Remove this idiotic portal, score systems, modifiers and grandmaster nightfalls. Destiny without a word, nightfall is not a Destiny. It’s literally an integral part of Destiny identity… Uuurgh, I’m so disappointed[/quote] Grandmaster nightfalls were removed. You even said that they were gone early in your post. Nightfalls up to master difficulty are still there You make it clear there's no reason to play. Find something that's fun, if you can't find it in destiny then pretty sure thetes another game out there that you can find fun. Nothing lasts forever.
