To have fun? (Destiny)

I don't particularly like crucible either, but I feel like people are complaining (might not be the best word but it's all I got) more about special events that happened in D1 and now are happening in D2 just because it's D2.

It's too early to tell, because they haven't even said what the event is. But if it's literally just more 4v4 (which is the assumption someone above made, which sparked this subthread) when it used to be Doubles, that's sort of the whole point. These special events aren't "special" anymore. They're just more of the same with different drops. That's not fun or cool or interesting. Different gear isn't necessarily enough to get folks to jump back in to the game, but different, interesting game modes might be. And maybe that's what this will be. I hope so!

I'm not necessarily bashing. I thought The Dawning was fine for what it was. I certainly engaged more than I expected to. At least it gave us Mayhem, which was something different.

But Iron Banner and Faction Rally aren't even special events. It's just doing more of what we're already doing for a special loot pool that is only available for a week. That sucks, and honestly comes off as lazy to me.

I mean what do people want from Bungie? More content that you can play and do stuff with? That's called a DLC and it's already slated to come out. Until then, have fun with these mini events or don't and have fun someplace else. But don't question the events meaning. I'm going to enjoy the event for what I get out of it. I suggest y'all do the same.

I just want the fun back. I like D2. I just miss the limited time events actually feeling cool and different and special, and not just the same exact thing we already have with slightly different loot.

You know what I miss? The tiny new additions to the world that came with DLCs. Where are the Swordbearers, the Packs of Wolves, and the groups of Taken that came along? That was cool. It was small, but it made the game feel different, like it was changing.

And if you get nothing out of it then go someplace else to have fun.

You mean you haven't noticed all the other threads talking about other games? Seems like that's exactly what people are doing.

P.S. I'm sorry if this seems a bit in your face, but I'm started to get sick of Bungie Bashers. I want to just have fun with Destiny for what it is: Fun, glorious, the faults and everything in between.

I'm still having fun with Destiny. I jumped back in for Curse of Osiris and The Dawning for a month. I'm signed up for a raid tomorrow (and a D1 classic raid next week). That doesn't mean I'm going to ignore all the bad things and just keep my mouth shut, which seems like what you're asking for, and that sucks.
