Hey Bungie, round of applause! 👏 You’ve officially transformed Destiny into a masterclass in how to make a game completely unplayable! Woo! 🎉
Gotta say, I’m loving the sniper simulator meta—where everyone just chills in the back with those long range weapons like they’re on a beach holiday, sipping space mojitos and deleting people from a postcode away. Genius! Why actually play the game when you can just observe it from orbit?
And let’s not forget the invis hunters. Oh baby. It’s like playing hide and seek with a ghost who also happens to have a shotgun and no radar ping. Such fun! I assume the dev meeting went like:
Lets make them literally unseeable—just like my hopes for PvP balance!
Now, major props to the galaxy-brained minds behind the meta. Out of 1,000+ weapons, only 2-3 are are being used to actually complete! Incredible work. That level of imbalance isn’t a bug—it’s performance art. 🎨
And the mods system? Beautiful chaos. I especially love how it takes a spreadsheet, three YouTube guides, and a PhD in particle physics just to make a halfway decent build. Because, yeah, the average player with 45 minutes a night definitely wanted to spend half of that deciphering armor perks like they’re translating alien runes.
Oh—and those nerfs? Keep ‘em coming! Who needs fun when you can have relentless disappointment? Bungie, if your mission was to drive away streamers, casuals, and maybe your own devs too—you’re nailing it. 💥
Bravo! Truly no one does it worse better.

“And those nerfs, keep’em coming” I want this on a bumper sticker

Getting sniped in Destiny 2 is insane skill issue. Snipers are horrible in this game

Last time I checked Bungo achieved plagiarism 2.0 👩🏻🎤
-
You nailed it. Bungie would however like you to send them any spare nails as their budget doesn’t cover the amount needed to finish the coffin.
-
Yep. Buildcrafting. Too complex now. Before anyone says it’s not, It’s all relative. I have simply stopped playing for many reasons. I visit the forums and am keeping my alts in the hope things turn around. I won’t be buying the next drop, I’ll wait and see.
-
I thoroughly enjoy coming back here to be reminded why I don't play this anymore. You're living the dream so the rest of us don't have to.
-
Props for funny post, they need to make invis hunters harder to see though, otherwise, it defeats the point. Have you fought the invisible banished in Halo? Now that's true invisibility.

check my clan description please. - old
That’s a lot of words to say “I don’t understand an incredibly simple system so maybe this game isn’t for me” Also, if it takes you longer than about 2 minutes to make a build you have bigger issues -
Don't forget the lighting changes that made it impossible to see anyone far away
-
@SKYROC-1 Excellent post. So true and well versed 👏👏👏
-
So how many games did you get rolled before posting this?
-
Yawn. Oh one of these posts.
-
How are you hating on snipers they are terrible in this meta and are worse than fusions and shotguns

hard to argue with these points just left off that all grinds feel currently worthless because power creep is increasing massively in the next content patch and all current gear and investment will be made mostly worthless without further grinding or completely brand new gear (mostly the latter) sniper meta chases me away from every pvp on the planet, it is utterly toxic

Truly no one does it worse better.[/quote] I still remember them saying in year one (of Destiny 2) about Graviton Lance, we're looking into it. ...they still do! And by the way, Bungie's recycling agenda of content also deserves recognition! Hip-hip, hurray!

Masterfully crafted post. I should bookmark this page.

Just go back to D1

But quoted part above is by far the biggest issue.

Good stuff 😎
-
There's barely any snipers. But yea, if you just want 45 min a night, it would be better to play a game where build crafting is not required.
-
I think it's funny... complaining about things wanting nerfs to hunters then complaining about nerfs...and as far as snipers just don't walk into the open not that hard to go around.....and if you stop relying only on radar and actually watch where you're going you can see The hunter's silhouettes for the most part....
