With how much I have already spent on this game, it's disheartening to have to buy it all again and a little ridiculous IMO
ehhhh. Maybe? At least at one point it did but I'm pretty sure the original campaign is now locked in the vault and the first couple of DLC. So as far as I know, there isn't a way to enjoy the entire Destiny 2 story from the beginning now.
Anyone interested in forming a clan now that cross platform is up? I don't play a whole lot now other than some dungeon farming, but I'll be all over Witch Queen.
TeKPhaN has a clan I joined. I'll be all over the Witch Queen when it releases.
I'm kerosene31#9280 on Steam. I don't play on console anymore since they dumped everything on game pass
I think I have you.
I don't do any pvp with PC but I'll do PVE stuff.
My main things are the GM's.

Yeah I've never done a GM, but I do the lower difficulty nightfalls. I'm down for anything shorter length. I'm just too old for raids at this point (I seriously can't play that long), but dungeons/GMs are a good length for me.
I really do love this game. But the game is way too confusing for me. From the levels, the character building and finally how these seasons work. I don't want to pay for stuff and then have it taken away. I felt like I was paying a lot, and I was only logging on a couple times a year and then some of that stuff was not valid anymore.
The removal of paid content is why I deleted the game from my PS5 when I was recently thinking of jumping back in. It just leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth and I'm surprised the community is so "OK" with it as they continue to log in and support this game while they complain about other publishers and their scummy practices.
Same reason I quit after so many years of supporting it. Just couldn't keep up anymore. I get it for twitch streamers since they always have new content but I just couldn't put enough time into it to make it worth my while.
They really can't keep all this content spinning up indefinitely. They leave the seasons up for a whole year now. It isn't like you have to quit your job and never go outside to keep up.
It does suck for newer/casual players, but it makes no sense to keep everything active for when people get around to it. There's nothing from a past season you "need" if you didn't play it. Also, there's hardly anyone around to play this old stuff.
Ultimately, do you build the game around those who hardly play it, or those that play it the most? They've really made seasons worthwhile and not just some cosmetic cash grab for once.
I already have pages and pages of old quests and activities taking up room. I mean, at some point this stuff has to go.

I stopped cause it is just the same thing over and over again. You can only play new season stuff if you buy BP but the BP sucks. The armour is still dull and boring. Way too much reskinning of old gear. The random perk roll system is garbage. Pretty much all the perks are boring as f***. Still refuse to put matchmaking on the stuff people actually wanna do.
Hated the Stasis system where they just drip fed perks.
They will not grow the franchise if all they do is cater to those who play the most. They need to strike a balance, the hardcore will not be there forever.
Like any service the priority is trying to secure new subscribers while they try to keep those that they have. Destiny doesn't seem too friendly to casual/returning players and they will lose out on that potential growth.
I wonder if that's why Activision bailed, they didn't see much in the way of future growth and more opportunities to milk players.
I wouldn't call it hardcore. A season typically lasts 2-3 months and the actual story part only needs 4-6 weeks (and you can just youtube the story). You can get a ton of gear every season with 10-20 hours of gameplay per season. You can easily get by with 2 hours per week. I've skipped seasons until the last month and gotten through them no problem. The DLCs need more, but those are scheduled and one per year. Even those are not a huge time commitment.
As far as grinds go, this is actually pretty casual. There's all sorts of longer grinds for the hardcore, but none of them are needed.
This is a looter shooter, not some 10-20 hour campaign and done. If that's not for you, that's perfectly fine. The people who do play these games want more content, not less. It isn't the kind of game you jump back into for a weekend and get everything handed to you.
For me, I didn't get a flying hoot about cosmetics. I just wanted to run around and shoot bad guys. Clearly the game wasn't designed for me. I was trying to turn a service game into a campaign with co-op.
It isn't about cosmetics, though. It is that the fundamental aspect of the game, the loot. Is bad. The Super set up is terrible. To play the new content you are forced to buy a crap BP that has nothing worth while in it.
I remember when they introduced catalysts to make Exotics more fun, but most of them turned out to be boring as hell.
The game is just more fun when you have people to play with. It has problems with loot, builds and a host of other things but when you have a group to play with you can overlook most of them.
Used to have a group that would run one raid a week and it was awesome. The Last Wish is still one of my favorite moments in gaming ever. That raid was so well designed.

I don't have any group that I play with. However, when I play and I see people online, I have found it very easy to just join them and play, and we all carry on together. Seems like there is a good amount of people with the same desire for fun in this game.
I was more talking about the stuff that doesn't have matchmaking (Raids, GM Nightfalls) that's the best content the game has to offer and most people don't get to experience it.
Once you have, just running around the open world, running regular strikes etc just seem like a waste of time honestly, the rewards are putrid
That's all I do. I follow the campaign and run around the open world. I don't think I have done a RAID or GM Nightfall ever.
