Game really sucks now. Get rid of portal garbage
All the grind up to ultimate and now I can't earn anything anymore.
Ultimate activities aren't fun at all with the time limits, anti fun modifiers, champions restricting builds, no off for them, etc
Just extend the timers way out or something.
I have loved D2 but the portal is too punishing and nothing else seems worth it. All the good weapons are behind pinnacle ops which nobody wants to do because no fun.
Aren't games supposed to be fun?

“Anti fun modifiers” is exactly right. Bungie’s concept of difficulty is to massively inconvenience the player up to a point where the game is utterly unenjoyable. It’s honestly the most uninspired approach to difficulty I’ve ever seen. First of all, you need to be able to become strong. You can just delta-force-level down any progress people make. That’s not motivating at all and it defies the very logic of progress in this game. Secondly, they can’t even beat you by putting you 50 LL under bc most guardians are already used to that garbage so they literally need to slow you or otherwise incapacitate you so they can kill you. And if you don’t realise how dumb that is: Imagine you’re a basketball player and you practise for years and years until you’re really good and then someone says “Ok, the ball weighs 10 kilos from now on, you have to wear a 50 kilos backpack while playing and also people will randomly tackle you and hold you down while you’re still expected to win bc … I mean hey, you did practise, didn’t you? Skill issue??? Thirdly, forced loadouts are getting worse every season. At this point, I have almost nothing I can use. I love my arc builds, it’s kind of an arc season and I have grinded like crazy for good arc weapons with jolting feedback etc. Now, I can’t use them bc the hardest activities, where I need my optimised loadouts the most, are default avant garde. And playing lfg most of the time basically comes down to having only new stuff equipped or you won’t find a post. All this feels awful and they keep doubling down on those same awful strategies. And I’m sure they will continue to do so until the game is completely dead.

I was told by elitists to simply use the "meta builds" The sweats are coping hard about this game while it keeps bleeding players like never before, everything in Destiny 2 since lightfall has been designed to waste your time and inconvenience you to the fullest. And it is exhausting, the new player onboarding experience is the worst in the entire gaming industry and the anti-casual anti-solo mindset bungie designs the game with surely doesn't help. And its hard to complete any pinnacle mission when people wont even join your team when asking for help so the only option is to just quit with a bitter feeling having wasted an hour just to get to the FIRST boss. ugh...

Even the streamers who do solo content, contest mode, etc have started using terms like "not fun", "boring", "unfit", "annoying", "draining" etc for modifiers and feats. These people make money from their content (literally earn by playing) and if they feel like this, what does Bungie think the toll is going to be on people who "paid" to play. And people should stop comparing games to cinema ticket for value. You don't have feat, difficulty, repeat activities, matchmaking, lfg and toxic players e5c issues to compare so the value per hour just doesn't compare.

1 ReplyWoah there cowboy, you aren't here to have fun. /s You are here to [i] make money [/i] for Bungie. Either by spending silver or by logging in your hours. "Respect the game", as some insane people here would like to say.

1 ReplyBungie have forgotten how to make a fun game. They think ability spam is fun, so everything they create now is ad dense because they expect you to play with the previously mentioned meta builds. I want an FPS that has abilities in it not the other way round. Don’t get me wrong I enjoy about 30% of the game immensely. It’s the stupid modifiers and a lot of the lack of testing that ruins this game. Last season I completed Avalon a few times at -50. Twice I had to two man most of the mission as one of the other guys died. Now after this I went into Battleground Core at -30 on Ultimate in the portal. Everything was fine until we got to the boss. He -blam!--ing melted me at least three times and wiped the team, before we got it done. It’s this stupidity of the hardest mission in the game at the time being more fun than something 20 levels under it. Now I know that someone, somewhere on here is going to try to falsely educate me about the fact that difficulties in the game not being on the same scale. That’s part of the problem. The stupid modifiers have to go, the difficulty has to be standardised again across the whole game. -15 should be the same everywhere. So should -30.

2 RepliesAll the good gear [i]should[/i] be behind difficult content. If you want it that bad, improve. Personally, I made an attempt to tackle some of it and failed epically, at which point I decided I didn't need the gear that bad after all.
