Thanks to a method called “data mining”, we now know something about the next raid that Destiny has to offer, as well as items, weapons and which sets belong to each class.
They have to. A lot of people are at max and if they add more gear then everyone will be. Being at max takes the fun out for some people. You dont need to grind to get to max if you don't want to. Just play and have fun.
Personally I feel it's the other way around, and Warframe is the poor mans Destiny.
They share many similarities in their design but Warframe feels vastly less polished, and lacks comprehensive environments. (you only play short linear segments in Warframe, rather than missions within a larger hub-world like on Destiny).
That, and that Warframes PVP is absolutely terrible. Destiny's can be bad sometimes, but at least Destiny's feels designed as part of the game from the start, Warframe's just feels tacked on.
That, and that Warframe is effectively pay to win make it somewhat less appealing than Destiny, at least for me.
Then that is another bad design choice, in my opinion.
Choosing not to explain anything to you while doing the raid served no purpose, save for making it difficult for the FIRST team to do it.
After that, everyone knew full well it would be all over the internet. Why not just put that info in the game and save people the trouble? (Also, allowing for matchmaking)
I'm not asking for it to be "easy", but giving people some direction would have made it manageable by a group of randoms.
Don't know why they don't just put 100 levels in it and have an extremely low XP counter... Progress is progress and now matter how fast still satisfying. :)
I reached lvl20 before completing every story mission. There are still a few missions I have yet to complete, and the primary reason I haven't is because their rewards, a few thousand XP, is utterly useless to me at the point I'm now at.
151 hours played between 2 characters and I might have another 49 hours left before I am 30 on both characters but so far I have paid roughly .40 cents an hour for entertainment simply for Destiny. I don't see enough value in the DLC's unfortunately but maybe I will return next year to see how much different the game is and maybe the DLC's will be more valueable.
TLDR Version. I have gotten my moneys worth so far just future investments into DLC is not likely.
Yeah leveling gets faster after the first time you play as the 2nd and 3rd time you just want to go ahead and get to 20 and you know your not missing out on anything worthwhile because everything that is worth getting is tucked away behind the soft cap of lvl 20.
level 1-20 is just a time sink until the real game begins just like Borderlands.
I can't be bothered with Destiny anymore. There's really nothing left to see. Don't get me wrong, I got my money's worth (gameplay hours) but there's not much point in playing now. I don't think I'm going to buy into the DLC or the next games.
I quit this game couple days ago. My titan has been level 29 for a while and I'm tired of grinding. I did the raid 4 times including once on hard and got a helmet and that fugly ship. The rest (on normal) has been ascendant shards. Played for days worth of time but looking back it wasn't fun. It was tedious and at times frustrating. Idk why I felt compelled to keep grinding. The only plus being crucible and I'm getting HMCC in a couple weeks so I won't be on crucible anymore. Went 15 and 2 (7.5 kd) last night and got jack diddly. Guy went 1 and 14 and got a legendary AR engram. Wtf. Gonna go trade it in tomorrow for Shadows of Mordor. Learned my lesson with hype, and Bungie lost me as a fan. Honestly if you didn't buy the limited or the xpacks already just wait guys. Otherwise they'll keep thinking it's cool to feed us garbage like this. Unless you like the game. In which case more power to you.
It's pretty obvious Bungie is raising the level cap in Destiny, the grind is going to be real.
I would still like a melee weapon in my heavy slot without having to play a Hunter.
I hope this isn't everything.
Seems like it's adding a few new exotics and the raid gear for the next expansion.
Perhaps a few more rares and uncommons.
super weak
