I've completely hit the destiny wall. Literally the only two ways I can improve my character (305/306) is the raid one time a week, or getting lucky enough to get a 3 of coins to drop an engram that's 310 in a slot I need a 310 for infusion purposes.
Love the expansion for the most part. Few complaints though. With the old system, you could get your exotic, and it would be a max level exotic, now it can be anywhere from 280 to 310. The consistency is just not there.
In the old system, when you got a raid weapon/armour, you never had to worry about it being under leveled. Now, it can be from 300-310. So instead of relying on rng to give you a good gun, you also have to rely on getting good rolls on the gun, and a good attack rating. It's 3x the rng.
You get that awesome raid scout rifle, but it has triple tap, and you wanted firefly, or it's a 302, because why not.
The other thing is basically the content just isn't there now. Yeah there's technically more stuff to do, but strike playlist is the same handful of strikes over and over and over, crucible is the same half a dozen maps again and again, the old raids are completely useless, and so is the prison of Elders. They really should add a rotating nightfall like raid/prison playlist with it's own exclusive exotics/armour.
The grind is back in TTK, and it's better than ever. Grind hadium to get your sword, get kills with the sword, now go grind 365 (in my case) helium coils to get the 10 special ones. Now wait until Wednesday, not do this strike. Want to unlock the special crucible bounties, go play every game mode a dozen times, something like 44 wins minimum? Who thought that was a good plan lol.
Why can't they just let us play the game, and not force us to do stuff we don't want to.
