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?

    The whole class item process really could have been handled better. They know everyone wants to get them but Bungie’d it by hiding the mission to start with then making it a mandatory 2 person mission.

    The mission itself is really good. If you don’t have someone you know on mic it’s going to be a frustrating experience.

    Then if you don’t get the roll you want it’s the random chest opening, this part drove me to look up a macro script to farm the chests.

    After all that I’ve been doing the usual stuff, chasing rolls of guns, red borders, catalysts, solo spoils chests and waiting for the next story drop.

      Yeah I’ve got a friend who was still very much into grinding out the game. He was the one encouraging me to do it because he wanted to unlock them. The unspecified requirements for unlocking the mission to begin with is where all the problems are coming in. Honestly it’s a major pain point with destiny in general. I wish they’d follow RuneScape’s lead and build an actual “quest list” that shows the content available, what you need to do to unlock the mission, and (if it’s something you’ve already done) gives the ability to look back and see what you did (so you can help friends).

      Yeah the new grenade launcher, hand cannon, sword, and rocket launcher are definitely appealing to me.

      I wish they’d dump more exotics and catalysts per expansion. One thing I did really enjoy for the first year or two was just finding more and more exotics and trying them out.

      At this point I’ve got most of the exotics and most of the catalysts.
