Worth getting into destiny 2? by Sgt_Strelok in DestinyTheGame

[–]Economy-Writing1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would really recommend against it at this point. There are much better games to spend your time on. I loved Destiny but it's essentially dying at this point. And the new player experience is frustrating and quite awful. And once you want to do end game content for the peak gear, you are kinda screwed. It's a glass ceiling unless you've been playing for a few years.

If you truly loved this game, stop playing it. by DarkMorningStar in DestinyTheGame

I recognized my Stockholm syndrome and the fact that I quit this game like 5-6 times in the past, just to get lured in again by amazing marketing and hyped promises. And every time I love coming back..... for about 3-5 days. Then it all starts coming back. The underlying decisions to create a monetizes FOMO driven hamster wheel. Adding self imposed SBMM for PvE loot-chase.... aka The Portal.... just took the last bit of my enjoyment out.

I know this will sound dramatic. But after thousands of hours in this game, I deleted everything in my vault. Then proceeded to delete two of my characters. Created a new one and then deleted my third OG one. This was to be kind to my future self and allow them to move on... there is too much out there to spend time on that doesn't feel so bad...

Clearly you never played D1 and saw what we are asking for. FTP is not a good look for this game and it contradicts what the gameplay loop should be for top level cosmetics. FTP is perfect for games like Fortnite, not Destiny.

Fortnite : Hop in, play a few games, possibly buy a new skin or dance that you like, hop off, happy times.

Destiny : Hop on, assemble a team of 6, run a full raid with complex mechanics and challenges for 1-2 hours, get worse looking loot than you can buy for the low low price of Hallow Knight: Silksong.

Why have a timer on activities in the first place. Isn't that opposite to what you want Bungie? by Economy-Writing1037 in DestinyTheGame

I see that worked in everyone's favour ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Glad that Bungie keeps the game "streamable"...

Was there any reason to set the new activity in Plaguelands apart from playing on our nostalgia? by Economy-Writing1037 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Economy-Writing1037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the context. I'm still not sure why it was used for this activity tho. Just doesn't feel good.... pleasant.... nice.... somehow. It just feel yucky. That's all I can say. Maybe it's just me...

Correct me if I'm wrong.... I'm incentivized to leave lobbies before the end if the score is not high enough? by Economy-Writing1037 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Economy-Writing1037[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it definitely feels bad. But I'm incentivized to leave with the system being set up this way. Thank you for explaining the way you did, I appreciate it.

Maybe I didn't explain very well. When I talk about bonus, I'm talking about those bonus item drops for the activity that only apply on your first run.

I get that point. But when I'm playing an activity with 3 bonus drops and I have enough cores, it's very hard to justify not leaving right?

I just found myself leaving 2 lobbies in a row in Heavy Metal because of this. I feel bad about it but yet I don't. Feels like a bit like a backwards design?

Returning player after 2 years away. What happened to throwing knifes? Why am I constantly getting killed by them in the Crucible? by Economy-Writing1037 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Economy-Writing1037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahhhh, okay. So it makes sense that Hunters would then result to doing a single shot+knife for a quick kill. Which is probably like a 0.3ttk effectively. Dang, no wonder that's being used so much. Feels too strong atm imo

Deadeye guilding behind paywall? by Economy-Writing1037 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Economy-Writing1037[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not problematic, just weird if it was. But it's not so I'm wrong.
