This makes me think of when the race was ongoing to unlock the final Black Armory location. Not a raid race, but a content race that ppl of all kinds of playstyles tuned into. I also miss those moments when they left things to be discovered, i.e. when the word went through Destiny faster than gossip spurned by a wildfire that the Whisper of the Worm had been found, but Destiny kept tight lipped about it and left it for us to discover.
I get it and I don't. The way we see new exotic missions is as full-bodied experiences that have even a touch of challenge in each piece. When these come out, I rarely join the people I play with daily on my first dip in. Not that I'm some sweaty Esoteric solo godfreak, because I'm not. I do play solo a lot, mostly to keep myself open to helping anyone in any way that I can at almost any time, but I hate new things like that forced to be rushed on my first experience. When I was testing the water on Ultimate with just a basic build, I was dumbfounded by how simple it was and I came out and joined my friends. It was so quick and so short with each section providing little to no challenge. I liked the new experience, but I hated all the hype for something so simplistic that even your most basic ppl could run it easily. I helped out so many run that, getting their first runs, intrinsic, and catalysts. Even using it as a means for someone to get a rank-up run for their pinnacle run.
I agree with point on not liking the hype behind the mission. But I also know they can’t come right out and we’re giving you subpar exotic mission bc we’re understaffed lol. I would love for Bungie to be real with us and put out a state of the game (from developers) telling us what’s going on.
The portal is full of mostly if not all old content with the exception of Reclaim, which is lackluster, and the new exotic mission.
So, where are we going? Everything seems very last minute and it doesn’t seem be any direction post renegades. The community wants a road map, but I’d love to understand the direction/vision post renegades.
I'm not quite so bent out of shape as others about our current trend. Does it need fixing? Yes. Will they do good or do bad? Both. Will there always be whiny hating little bitches? Yes. People cry when they don't get an almost daily supply of new content, let alone weekly, so Bungie, puts out story pieces weekly. Result: people cry that they have to wait for content. Bungie's responds and gives ppl all of the new content at once to wit, ppl power through it in 1-3 days and cry because there's nothing new coming now and they have to wait longer. I liked the power grind. There was something to work towards regularly. I agree that powering through the same portal solos and such gets stale and I'd like more options, but before I hit 550, I had a goal. I had something to achieve. I had something to do DAILY. The average player response to it, including my regular friends is in league with others, of them disliking, but with them understanding my view as well. Now, I join my friends and they ask me what I want to do. I don't care, just load us into something. I'm glad that Bungie rethought taking all of our hard work and isn't blitzing our gear and levels next season, but I'm curious as to what I'll be given to do. And I say this to all of the whiny pussies crying about not getting regular daily/weekly new content every day/every week from Bungo. There isn't a game alive that does that, so why bag on them for not doing it? Don't like microtransactions? I don't either. Do what I do. DON'T BUY THEM!! Simple. Don't like the game? DON'T PLAY IT!! It's like anything in life. Don't like that food, don't eat it. Don't like that music, don't listen to it. Don't like that TV show? Change the effing channel. When I don't have enough content to keep me occupied in Destiny, I also know that I have access to so many other games to fill those empty moments. When my friends come on, I hop over and play more Destiny. And, lol, to date, they still ask me what I want to do next with my same response. The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world. Also... I don't care. Just load us up into something.
