You know what? I'm gonna vent a little. I don't care.
Bungie, you've lost your way and I don't know if there is a way to come back from this. Considering that I haven't played in a month and a half, I think I'm done. While I was away, I was playing RoboCop and getting into CyberPunk 2077. You know, having fun. After playing Destiny: Rising it brought up some real disdain that I have for you as a company. Why is all the fun stuff that we wanted not in your game but it's in Destiny: Rising? Sometimes, I just want to fish and catch a gun or two. It's that simple, really. Cheaters are still running rampant in your game and have been for literal years. The last time I was in PVP it felt unplayable. Are you actively trying to kill your game or do you just not care? Your moto use to be "We make games that we want to play." Things have definitely changed since then.
Not only did you guys not listen to your community, you decided to work on something that your fanbase didn't ask for. AND on top of that, you were caught stealing ideas/artwork AGAIN! You could have just worked on Destiny 3 with Unreal Engine 5.6, but no. Ya'll chose to -blam!- off and make something no one asked for. And of course it was a -blam!- show.
I've spent around $3-400 in expansions and season pass's from the very beginning of D2. Almost all of that content that I payed for is not playable and in some cases lost entirely (Red War) due to the inability of Bungie to come up with a reasonable plan that is respectful to their community. Find a way to expand your game. If it means what it means, then I guess it is what it is. You might have to rebuild some systems to make it happen. Oh well. Also, for you to introduce a completely new system and not provide a way to upgrade old gear is a slap in the face to everyone and their time. Some people, including me, have grinded for literally years to get all of our stuff. This is in between a job, working on cars/ our house, taking care of our kids, taking care of our parents, taking care of siblings (if this is your role), going to school if you're still in it, and just life in general. The time that I do spend playing your game better not be a waste of time. But instead, now it's all just useless? That's just fantastic... awesome...
NetEase is literally dunking on ya'll right now and I'm having a blast off of the $20 total that I've spent.
I've included a video and a picture, for your convenience, in case you didn't have basic context clues. (I don't think you do) You're Spiderman, if you didn't guess correctly. vvv

Good luck saving your game. I won't be a part of it anymore.

Edited by SirEman80: 9/7/2025 9:25:04 PMAt least be intelligent when you rant/vent. Destiny: Rising was made by a completely different company than Bungie. They just licensed the IP to them. But it goes to show what sow fresh eyes and minds can do. I’ve been a huge fan of Destiny over the years, even when other people were criticizing seasonal content and cadence and all that stuff… the game has always given me fun with friends, new stories with characters I’ve come to enjoy interacting with and learning about and an awesome world that felt deep and ever expanding… UNTIL NOW. At the end of Heresy, the game was in a good place. The armor changes in the Edge of Fate were the missing piece of loot value and chase, the tier system looked interesting, and the story looked promising. At the end of the campaign, I was interested in seeing where the story continues. Now, seven weeks later and Destiny feels smaller and shallower by a huge margin. I thought the Portal was going to be a funneling screen to give new and old players guidance to find the weekly rotators, seasonal activities, events, etc and instead… Bungie decided to make 80% of the game worthless to play outside of filling collections. It has been the worst change Bungie has ever made to the game… period, end of story. Being able to customize an experience to challenge and reward a player sounds good on paper, but the execution is so frustrating and unrewarding that it makes even longtime fans like myself just not want to engage. THE LACK OF AND SEASONAL STORY AND ACTIVITY CONTENT HAS SHONE HOW MUCH OF A PILLAR OF THE DESTINY EXPERIENCE IT WAS. I can’t think of any season in Destiny history where I’ve felt this little incentive to play. [b]I’m 420 and the only reason I’m that high was because Solstice was actually good for the first time in years and rewarded actually playing the content.[/b] I’ve got “bonus drops” at nearly every window in the portal and I don’t care because they can’t do anything for me. The game has become a soulless and lifeless husk of what it was just a few weeks ago. I’ve never had a problem reaching the pinnacle cap in any season whatsoever, even seasons like worthy where the activity was a public event… and it’s sad to see such little effort shone to publicly acknowledge the shortcomings of the current state of the game. And yes I read the twab every week and follow multiple social outlets that Bungie uses… and I haven’t seen any evidence that they are actually listening to player feedback. Not that they are just implementing things in a way I don’t understand, it actively looks like they are changing things in such a way to drive players from the game.
