Forgot to make the game fun post campaign

So I’m not going to lie, I loved the campaign. The Ball was a bit annoying at times but nothing that made me frustrated. Level design, story, puzzles, Side quests, events, ghost projecting npc, etc were all either sorely needed or huge improvements on what a Destiny story can be, but now I’m more burnt out than ever. I took a long break starting in Echoes and came back for the dreadnaught last season, but now I am honestly at a loss in terms of what to do and how to find enjoyment in this game. I’m at about 205 power right now, and the grind to get up to 260 or 270 or whatever it is to unlock master playlist, seems like hell for a game that I used to find very fun. Why on earth would I want to spend 30+ hours grinding for nothing but a number just to play the things I’ve already tired out for the chance of better gear, why can’t I challenge myself and get it right now? I’ve raided, done all the dungeons, GMs, and master mode seasonal activities, I can do the ‘hard’ stuff, but apparently I’m not allowed too get the good stuff, even if what I do is challenging???? Unless I spend hours and hours of my free time doing the same thing over and over? And then you just get back to the way it was 10 days ago? Seems like the whole MO of the game now is not teamwork, builds, and skill get you the best gear, instead it’s ’sink as much time as possible into this game so maybe you’ll buy the new Eververse armor’ Disgusting and disappointing move from the devs, might honestly be the worst bungo bungle since double primaries. This needs to be fixed fast or I see all the long time players (the big spenders) who can’t be bothered to replay the same content again and again, just to start the grind, leaving unless something changes, and then you’ll kill the game we love w your short sightedness (and/or greed) Also that new eververse armor??? Should have been master mode raid armor, my guess is that was the original intention, but the execs get greedier as the player-base gets smaller. And don’t even get my started and the mega lazy 3rd iteration season pass skin. This is not how you form a sustainable business model. It’s how you render down a carcass for its last bit of value. This is my first forum post in 11 years, just to give you an idea of how terribly this new leveling system has been implemented. Also, bring back our directory, remove the gray filter, like wtf?? That directory is the heart of the game? It used to be every time I saw it I would think about how hyped little 13 year old me would be if he saw it, now it’s just sad and replaced with a purposefully engineered time suck . Pls fix our game and let us have fun and get those tier 4s and 5s. Value our time the same way we value this game.

    If your free to play the portal offers a lot of new content. THATS the plan. Rotate our previous paid for season activities in and out throughout the year making money off Eververse and a 10 dollar pass. Even weapon/armour re-rolls will be available for SILVER soon! Bungie is NOT the same company.

  • It was fun during the campaign? Must have missed that. I was too busy playing scavenger hunt for items needed to progress, plinking away at bosses on Legendary for ten minutes, or watching cutscenes stolen from the upcoming Control 2.

    • "This is not how you form a sustainable business model. It’s how you render down a carcass for its last bit of value." Well there you go. You understand completely. At some point they will do another "we hear you" post and make a not-so-grand gesture that may fool a few people for a little while longer. Rinse & repeat.

    • The "negative" modifiers/50 underpowered determining progression/rewards kills any fun that used to be had.

    • That's my issue. There is nothing new activities wise for multiplayer after the campaign. I do not acknowledge the timegated Kepler activity it's not reasonable to expect me to wait 2 hours to play new content for 15 minutes lol

    • They want us to replay the campaign on Fabled and Mythic levels, but unlike you, I'm not a great player. I was already struggling with the Legendary campaign, Fabled is brutal on me, it's like a war of attrition, and then the reward is a single Tier 3 armor drop. As a solo player, I'm not sure I'm cut out for the Fabled and Mythic campaigns, so the amount of content in this expansion is somewhat smaller for me than it will be for others. I share your frustration, I think I miss seasonal activities. The Sieve is okay, but I'm not going to spend as much time there as in the Nether, or anything.

      • You can get some tier 4 and 5 from the campaign at the altar by accomplishing certain quest. But honestly, I don’t have any yet, but I can already tell a Tier 2 god roll will be better than a tier 5 random. And a tier 5 god roll will be only marginally better, it’s not going to break a build. Endgame is about curating builds, abilities…, not power grind only. I’m only 155 atm, but most LFG I’ve been in people in the 200+ just have crappy build. You’ll never enjoy the game fully if you just focus on the power levelling.
