Hi folks, what sorts of things have you been doing on destiny lately? What are you finding fun?

I thought the new campaign was good, but I’m increasingly finding it difficult to put time into Destiny post campaign. The gunplay is still great but … the game has felt repetitive and little frustrations like ambiguity about how you get the new exotic class items just really are getting on my nerves. I spent probably 4 hours today redoing the same overthrow and feeling to get the wizards to spawn.

I don’t mean for this to be a negative post, but yeah; what do you enjoy about Destiny the most in 2024? Anyone here having similar feelings about the game?

    Destiny has not been fun to be into much for a long while. As someone who bought every expansion since day 1 of Destiny 2, my friends and I just got tired of Bungie blame game and will wait for when the expansion is on some dirt cheap sale to see the end of the story.

      Yeah :/ The actual missions are good but all the “filler” is just … kinda disrespectful of our time/not particularly fun.

      Like I will say, this expansion was significantly better than the strand one. The missions actually felt like they were significant, the areas were varried, they added some new enemy types, and they did a decent job of “sucking me into the story” that the strand campaign just couldn’t do.

      That said, it kinda feels like they need to drop the “MMO” idea, add an actual global difficulty modifier, and then find a way to make enemies that are strong not just because they’ve got a lot of health and hit hard. I think DOOM and Remnant have done both of those things particularly well in their recent releases, it goes from “everything is really hard” to “it kinda feels like a dance as I slaughter everything in this general area” in both games once you get the cadence down/practice how to fight the event type enough.
