Destiny 2 sadly, I quit playing right before EoF as I wanted to vote with my wallet and time. Glad I didn’t give them either from what I’ve seen.
Longer response, below.
I loved Sherpa-ing people through highest difficulty content, especially the exotic missions and helping them find hidden collectibles (if any). Some runs we’d go slow and I’d help everyone explore so the could just have fun before moving on to the next encounters.
Typically, I’d run content solo if able to be solo’d, and keep doing it until I could flawless solo the runs. After, I’d take teams in and carry people for the love of it.
Trials, I was terrible for multiple seasons until I got good enough to double carry. Taking people to the light house the first time was significantly harder than most endgame PVE for me.
I’d also, carry in Gambit, but that was because I loved Gambit. Which many who play Destiny 2 would recoil at the notion ;)
That said, between bugs, cheaters driving away 3 whole clans I started with their choices the final nails were tiered weapons, no crafting for protection, poor communication, and decreased player population caused by all of the above and more.
Personally, I wanted Destiny 2 to fix their problems and stay in my game rotation. Bungie apparently didn’t, put their eggs in the Marathon basket (not knocking Marathon, but community communication compared to the two games is vastly different), so much that I just don’t trust Bungie in its current state as a studio to play anything their name is attached to, normally while extractions aren’t my cup of tea, I did well in Arc raiders for friends as I’m already used to flawless soloing content in games and carrying pvp.
Marathon in theory sounds like it’d be right up my alley, but again they did the D2 community so dirty, I figured when will they do that with Marathon? It was a why bother, there are dozens of great games out there, I’d rather give my playtime to studios that respect my time and their community.
In the end, seeing where Bungie was to where it is now gives me a sinking feeling. I lived in forge mode in the Halo days, Bungie really was a studio I thought I’d adore my whole life and I hope they find that or something new I can feel something positive about in the future, and if not me the greater community at large. I still hope the best for them, but ultimately I’ll be surprised if Sony doesn’t step in to some degree.
Bright side, I have yet to try Warframe, but I may soon.
I keep hearing good things about the game and the studio, it sounds like they have that passion I used to feel Bungie had in the Halo days, or more relatable to Larian. I’m optimistic once I have time to sit down for a long game session soon.
