Hi Bungie Team, I hope you’re all doing well. I wanted to share some feedback as a long-time Destiny fan and dedicated player. I’ve been playing Destiny since the original launch of Destiny 1, and I’ve been a proud supporter ever since. Over the years I’ve consistently worked toward titles, triumphs, and end-game activity completions. One of my proudest achievements has been earning multiple Conqueror titles, and Destiny has become a big part of my life. Recently my life has moved on in new and exciting ways — I’m now a new father, and my son is already being introduced to Destiny with toys and memorabilia I’ve collected. Although my passion for Destiny remains, the time I can invest simply isn’t what it used to be. This is where I’m struggling with the current system. With the introduction of the new portal progression mechanics and the redesigned power climb, it has become increasingly difficult for a reasonably enthusiastic but time-limited player to stay at a viable power level for end-game content. Despite dipping in regularly and having reached Light Level 400, I’m finding it nearly impossible to make meaningful progress toward the requirements for Grandmaster Nightfalls, which now sit close to the 500+ range. Realistically, this would take me weeks of grinding, far beyond what I can manage with a newborn at home. Destiny has always been a game that rewards dedication, but it has also historically allowed skilled, experienced players — even those with limited weekly hours — to work toward end-game goals. Right now, the new systems feel like they’ve swung too far in the opposite direction, making Grandmasters and similar activities inaccessible not just to new or casual players, but even to long-standing, highly invested players like myself. I truly love Destiny and I want to keep engaging with the game I’ve supported for so many years. I’d really appreciate it if the team could take another look at the current portal mechanics and power progression to help ensure experienced but time-limited players aren’t left behind. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and for everything you continue to create. I look forward to any improvements or clarification you may be able to provide. Kind regards,
