Anyone else feel this ability spam is going overboard

[Gremmel]

The singular saving grace of Destiny used to be the shooting. Now it's just buggy ♥♥♥♥♥♥ laggy ability spam, it's like they're one season away from turning into Anthem

What abilities are what make Destiny good

with out abilities this game is just space cod

Space magic is what make Destiny 2 fun.

Why in the everloving tapdancing ♥♥♥♥ would you play a game about space wizards with guns and then get annoyed when the space wizard part shows up? Virtually every other shooter in existence is right there if you don't like the aspect of destiny's gameplay loop that's actually unique.

The abilities are too strong, too frequent and too many effects. It's extreme oversatuation. The gunplay suffers from this. The enjoyment suffers from this because the game becomes easy if you do not actively refuse to use abilities too much.

In the past it was maybe 80% gunplay and 20% abilities but less strong abilities. Now it's the other way around but with even more emphasis on abilities and stronger abilities.

It ruined PVE in my opinion, but it is also ruining crucible.

This may shock you, but you can actually still shoot your guns (fps) AND use abilities. Crazy. I know.

that doesn't mean the gunplay is good, d2 is way WAY behind many fps in terms of that, which is at least one reason why reaaal fps esports pros won't touch this game with 100 ft pole

Good for them, this isn't an esports title. If you want those generic FPS games, they are out there.

Some times I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't run into abilities. I mean sure I need to avoid a grenade here or there but I usually only get killed by shotguns.

with out abilities this game is just space call of duty

[Teek]

I am new to Destiny. It is overwhelming to see all the powers popping off. I played some arpgs(Last Epoch, Diablo 3), and I really enjoyed building around abilities. Once I get my head around Destiny a lot more, I look forward to messing around with the abilities more.

[Winthorpe]

To an extent, I agree.

I think this particular season has obviously emphasised melee, which, in first person is a little lacklustre. It's still fun, but I do get your point that on occasion, it feels like the gunplay is taking a backseat.

Turning into Anthem ... AWESOME !!

[Coldhands]

The gunplay is good, and still what almost every build relies on.

The abilities in Anthem were great and are what made the rest of the game being garbage such a disappointment.
