User blog:ItsCryptiid/10 Things I hate about Destiny

Preface: On the whole, I enjoy the game very, very much. I played the Beta and I loved it. But, since launch, I have noticed a lot of problems in the game that have made me want to return this game. It has a lot of potential, but these problems are ruining it. If Bungie doesn't address and/or fix these issues, this game will surely crash and burn. This contains a lot of references and statements about the game that you won't understand unless you've played it. A lot. And please, don't be an idiot.

1: I don't know if something's up, or RNGesus hates me. But why do all of my fireteams for Strikes consist of either leavers, AFK noobs, or plain idiots? Oh, you're the last Guardian standing? Why not melee the boss! What a good idea!

2: If the fusion rifle was a disease, then it would be Cholebolerculopox. (That is, a combination of cholera, ebola, tuberculosis, and smallpox). They are capable of sending any team to an early grave, and yet Bungie refuses to nerf them while they're still using Grimoire Cards to patch all the holes the plot has.

3: If you snipe me at long range, that's fair game and completely OK with me. But if you snipe me from 0.17 centimeters away then maybe you should take your sniper and play some Call of Duty. Seriously, it's bad enough I have to deal with fusion rifles, but now 12-year-old FaZe members? Gimme a break.

4: No breaks? Okay then. And speaking of breaks, and PvP, the multiplayer is as broken as SimCity, and that game is a disaster! Seriously. Go on a match of Clash, Control, Rumble, Skirmish, etc. and see just how many times you get killed by either a quickscope, shotgun, or fusion rifle. Honestly, it's ridiculous how Bungie refuses to fix it.

5: Okay, before any "you suck go hang yourself" comments appear, I'll stop complaining about PvP, and on to the real issue: the lag. Now before you guys go off and make fun of my router or internet, try to open your Guardian's inventory mid-match. See how long it takes to get killed in a match of Control before you can change your loadout.

6: The Queen's Wrath "event". Come on Bungie, are you even trying? The Queen's Wrath event didn't have too much to offer, except for bad, repetitive bounties and tedious fights just to get a piece of legendary armor I already have. Oh joy. And not to mention that there's nothing really worth-while to get at the merchant who sold limited edition items. Except the Queen's Guard emblems. Those were actually pretty good.

7: The Iron Banner "event". This is literally a glorified PvP, except with more leavers. I know a ranked PvP event that'll put your skills to the test sounds awesome, right? Well, when it actually is then yes. With cringeworthy limited edition items and the fact that teams practicaly become abandon just as they are losing by even the smallest amount. Honestly it's more of an event that puts your sportsmanship to the test, rather than skill.

8: The updates, patches, and hotfixes. For the love of Xur, Bungie, it seems like every time you nerf or update or patch something the game gets a little bit worse. Sure, a scout rifle patch was desperately needed, but what about pulse rifles? And nerfing the Vex Mythoclast's base damage by THIRTY-FOUR PERCENT was a little brutal. And the fusion rifles get no nerf, which is honestly not surprising.

9: Is it just me or does Dinklebot make the most cringe-worthy comments. After informing me about a sword that was used to kill thousands of Guardians, Dinklebot makes the amazing observation after  wielded it, "Careful. Its power is dark." YA DON'T SAY. And let's not forget "It's in the walls!" Oh, really? I thought it was in my pocket, thanks for looking out for me!

10: You know, I was willing to turn a blind eye and look upon the game's better features, which temporarily made me feel better about the game, but it ends now. I'm tired of this, Bungie, the sheer, brain-melting repetition and the game's pitiful state are really driving me away from playing the game again. Yes, this game is great and all, but it is riddled with flaws! So many, in fact, it tends to overpower the good qualities. And I've read a lot of rants and opinions about the game on /r/DestinyTheGame, and I respect the opinions of people who aren't afraid to speak up. And you should as well.

Rant over. I guess. If that qualifies as a rant. Your call, really.
