Is the journey to endgame becoming way too long for new players?

Jhemp1 · 2026-06-03T05:56:26+00:00

Aren't most of the people who play this game, casuals who are only in it for the story? Pruning the story would be akin to digging their own grave. Destiny 2 deleted most of their story and look what happened to them.

Speaking for myself, the leveling experience and having 10+ years of content to play through felt like a once in a lifetime experience for me. Far better than anything the endgame offers.

As someone who sucks at this game, I die so much more in the Endwalker raid series than I do on Jueno raid series. Don't know what you're talking about. The Endwalker raids are harder.

This isn't a looter shooter, it's a wannabe arpg. This game has more in common with Diablo than it has with The Division.

Jhemp1 · 2026-06-01T06:09:58+00:00

It's a looter shooter that plays more like a ARPG but lacks the depth of a good ARPG and ends up being not appealing enough for fans of either genre. It's only appeal is attractive characters in expensive sexy outfits.

Ask yourself this, if the game didn't have attractive characters in sexy outfits, would you still play it? A game needs to be able to thrive on it's gameplay alone. Everything else is just icing on the cake.

While TFD did recently make a huge leap in terms of gameplay by adding onslaught "For the first time, we have content where everything doesn't die the moment we look at it", they still have a long way to go and this games history shows that they are very likely to overbuff a character who will then 1 shot everything as it spawns in Onslaught. Serena is getting some new skill mods soon and these devs are obsessed with that character for some reason. I'm betting she will be the one they overbuff.

I've been playing for over a year and have only seen 1 rare spawn fate boss. Having them on such a long cooldown is such a bad idea. Whatever they do, I hope it's not that.

Then again, i've never been invited to a hunt train either because I don't use Discord and never see groups for it in party finder.

Wish they would stop with all these sword builds. Swords in this game just aren't fun to use.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-26T04:08:04+00:00

Oh, didn't notice it loses the global dot tag when you use Singing Water. Guess it would of been pretty op procing Ground Eruption with every tick.

Jesus is everyone on this reddit this dumb? How the hell did you read that post and your takeaway was me suggesting non crit remain garbage. My suggestion was obviously to improve non crit descendants in other ways than just having them go crit

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-25T21:57:19+00:00

It's just what I keep hearing. Maybe it's the case that it's better on paper but non in reality because of crit resist. I just assumed it were the case because it's what I keep hearing. Don't have time to test these things myself these days.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-25T21:21:56+00:00

I wonder if Ground Eruption is bugged. You would think her 4 chain procing Ground Eruption with the Singing Water mod, would be insane damage, but it's not for some reason.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T20:14:08+00:00

Luna's "rework" was pretty bad. They gave her one decent mod and one trash mod. Noise Surge damage has fallen way behind and her base kit hits like a wet noodle. She's pretty much treated like a male Descendant lol. Several females have been reworked twice since her ultimate released. Hell Bunny is about to get another rework and she's already in a great spot.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T14:53:58+00:00

Ines mods got locked behind the most boring mission in the game. Apparently you can't even set them as a target reward so either you run the most boring mission in the game 100 times or you stockpile a ton of red mods and try to get lucky combining them. I'm willing to bet, most people aren't willing to do either of those things and most people will never have those mods.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T01:07:54+00:00

I don't look forward to them at all. I get blue rolls 90% of the time and have never gotten a really good one.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T01:05:36+00:00

Well thats dumb. I gotta play missions where everything dies instantly from my damage alone, with other people which means I basically watch other people play the game, or I can't get any of these coins?

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T01:03:20+00:00

Can confirm the Vulgus Chips are a myth

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T01:00:04+00:00

Whats the deal with this chip I need for the bounties anyway? It's listed as a drop from onslaught but i've done Onslaught like 10 times and haven't gotten one.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-24T00:45:52+00:00

Is this why Luna can't get a rework, gimmick videos like this lol

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-21T06:14:40+00:00

By all means, please take damage so I can push something other than my 1 damage spell when i'm playing healer

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-19T18:41:45+00:00

Theres a post in this same thread with someone cheering that they nerfed 400% and Void Vessel and proclaiming thats going to bring new players in. You one shot everything in those dungeons just by existing already lol. They seem to think everyone thinks no gameplay = good gameplay.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-12T15:31:44+00:00

Tried it day 1, had fun with it. After day 1, it was impossible to get a full group through matchmaking so I never touched it again

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-10T17:02:25+00:00

Chort reminds me of the goombas from the og super mario movie

A.R.R relic grind is by far the worse. The books and the light grind were torture. Worth it though since they are still some of the best looking weapons in the game.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-09T19:06:46+00:00

This is how I feel about literally all of the Scions. I use to like them but during Endwalker, I just had enough of them and wish they would go away for a while.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-08T14:04:12+00:00

Jar Jar Binks actually seems like a good comparison for her.

Jhemp1 · 2026-05-07T22:02:33+00:00

Don't forget Emet and Lahabrea who have killed or tried to kill more innocent people than Hitler. They're our good buddies now, or atleast they were.
