Prophecy completed on second attempt.
Will probably do Grasp this week instead of waiting. I still haven't completed Duality, so I def want to get that one too before the season ends.

Had to grind like a mother the past three days or so, but got the Solstice seal gilded.
In doing so, had to play 10 games of Crucible today where I was on the winning team exactly 0 times. The matchmaking in this game is an absolute joke.

Excited for the Showcase Tuesday and the start of the new season.
Arc 3.0 seems like it will be a lot of fun, in PvE at least. Will probably make PvP more annoying, but that's par for the course at this point.
Fingers crossed for the announcement of gear-based power level going away.

I'm hoping I can play. I've been recovering from a back injury since early July. I had an unintended sodium deficiency (long story but freak situation) and a possible COVID wildcard (we all got it, probably Omicron variant, we're ok) and it put me in the hospital. Seizures (not grand mal thankfully) plus three days nonstop sitting in a hospital bed (at a recline but still) = adios lower back. Double sciatica. Two herniated discs at minimum. Lumbar radiculopathy. No "red flags." I can barely sit and I am going to hit physical therapy this week. I feel good other than this back thing.

I like what I see so far. I am able to play but I take lots of breaks.

Yeah I'm digging it.
Arc 3.0 hunter is pretty sweet.
Got the new arc sidearm Brigand's Law and it rolled with Feeding Frenzy and a new perk called Voltshot. Reloading after defeating a target overcharges the weapon for a short period of time, causing it to jolt on its next hit. It's a pretty awesome perk, mows through red bars (in basic content anyway).
Will be looking to craft one with Voltshot and Perpetual Motion, but for now this is a great roll.

I've been enjoying Season of the Plunder.
Others have noticed it, too. Bring Wish Ender out of mothballs. Think "almost" Arbalest with unlimited ammo.

New Iron Banner mode is fun.
Rift was ok, definitely not as good as the D1 version, but this Eruption mode is a lot of fun.

I'm having a really hard time maintaining interest in this game anymore.
I miss old Destiny.
The seasonal approach just kills it for me. It's just repetitive BS nonstop. I still haven't pre-ordered Lightfall. At this point, I don't even know if I'm gonna bother getting it. I certainly won't get the deluxe version with the seasons.
It's just a nonstop grind now. Feels like a chore to do anything. I'm close to just uninstalling it and saying the hell with it.

Fair points. I get what I want out of it but it definitely waxes and wanes. The new God of War beckons.

Destiny is the worst it has ever been right now, for me personally. And it's because of that that I have zero interest in playing it.
And I don't have hope for the future. If anything, I think it'll just get worse.
Seasons have succeeded in killing my interest. Especially since the introduction of the Artifact and the seasonal challenges. That was on top of my already being fed up with the stupid RNG power level grind every season.
Weapon crafting is a joke. Builds are a joke.
Even if people in the group were still playing they killed my interest in running raids just with the whole design philosophy around them. I will always maintain that general loot should be RNG rolls, but pinnacle/raid loot should be static rolled but great at something. I remember getting Fatebringer in D1. Word of Crota the first time we beat Crota on hard. The Black Hammer.
Amazing legendary weapons, and when they dropped the first time it was exciting, and they were good enough to chase. Now you can chore through a raid, not get what you want multiple times, finally get it and it has a garbage, nothing special about it roll. It didn't make me want to run raids to get a good version, it just made me not care to raid at all.
The whole game has become a giant chore of repetitive nonsense where nothing really matters but frustration abounds at every turn.

I will say it also doesn't help things when people bust their ass for something and the inevitable nerf happens and so forth.
They have this Telesto gimmick going right now and that's cute and all but once upon a time we had Whisper secret missions and so on. No more. That's too bad.

So the last week cutscene is we find out a dying Osiris and Saint are gay lovers. Of course. Why not. Talk about forced.
