The Dark Below released details = FAIL

This is an absolute joke.... This may be the thinnest DLC I've seen. Even COD's[b] abysmal[/b] DLC has more content for the price. This is not a good sign... (Let me clarify that I don't/won't buy COD DLC because it is also trash. I used this to compare how terrible this DLC is. So sayin COD has MORE content was wrong. It doesn't change the fact that The Dark Below is a F*kin joke). " Bungie has announced Destiny's first expansion, The Dark Below, will be available on December 9 for $19.99 / £19.99 as a standalone purchase, or as part of the $34.99 / £34.99 Season pass which also offers the second expansion, House of Wolves. The developer has also gone into details about what new content we'll be seeing to justify that purchase price. Along with the expected new weapons and armour, the Light Level cap will raise to 32 with five new bounty slots also added. The expanded story will apparently focus on new character Eris, who has spent years hiding among the Hive only to come forward bearing a warning. The Hive are apparently trying to summon a god, Crota, to destroy Earth. Eris will be found in the Tower where she'll offer you special quests including three new missions where you can increase your Light and get new rewards. Other additions include a new co-operative Strike, The Will of Crota, which pits you against Omnigul as she works to expand Crota's Hive army, and a new six-player Raid, Crota's End, where you enter the Hellmouth presumably to take the deity on. On the PvP front, there are three new arenas: Pantheon, set in the Black Garden inside a Vex temple with tight corridors; Skyshock, an old interplanetary defense array; and The Cauldron, an abandoned Hive ritual site focused on close combat. Additionally, PlayStation platforms will get another co-operative Strike called The Undying Mind." ( Does Everyone agree that this is entirely too little content and isn't enough to keep this game fresh and interesting)..... 3 NEW STORY MISSIONS!!!! What a joke... 1 NEW COOP STRIKE....... 1 RAID..... and 3 PVP Maps (big surprise they're all CQC). Edit: I'm truly shocked at how ignorant and willing to bend over some of you gamers are. You're allowing the industry to grab you by the nuts and tell you "This is how it's going to be and you're just going to deal with it". Look at some of these "patches" that have been released. They are purposely making the game more grindy to make it appear as though there is more content than is actually there. You can still enjoy the game and admit that it's lackluster and this DLC is paper thin. Hell, I enjoyed the game for a few weeks but I can't justify rinsing and repeating anymore. I can't tell if some of you are simple minded or if your ego is so big you can't admit when your being jerked around. To the peoples' eyes who are open to what's going on I thank you for your comments. It's painfully obvious smart gamers are now the minority and we are going to be subjected to this type of publishing going forward. Bungie doesn't give 2 sh*ts about what we think in all honesty, as long as they look at their numbers and see 3.2 mill people playing. That's what they'll hang their hat on. If only they could look into the minds of those people playing and see what they're thinking. I would bet anything that this time next month Bungie won't be throwing the number 3.2 mill around anymore because that number is going to drop considerably...... If anyone has taken the time to read some of the recent reviews online, it is obvious that these people were paid off in some sort of way. I read one yesterday where the headline was something like "Bungie adds a ton of new content to the already lush world of Destiny"...... Like the game or not, that is a false statement. I really like the gamer's quote from that Live Video game streaming house that read "We already have so much to do in Destiny, what we'd really like are just some more ways to enjoy the content we already have".... REALLY? You'd enjoy doing the same freaking strikes again if they add another modifier? I especially enjoy the new Septiks White Flag modifier. Prime is so tired of being killed a millions times a day, when you reach him in the strike he just blows up.

      So it's confirmed 3 missions....that's it, a light level increase, when in some cases it's hard enough getting to 30 (I'm 29) a strike (ps4 here) and a raid....don't care about pvp...hmmm. Idk I'm sorta baffled. After enjoying and loving this game for literally 12+ days (according to the app) with just my warlock, it's getting stale and honestly MMO or not this a RPG style game. That's really lack luster and for once I'm kinda bummed. Well I'm putting it down for a while working on morodor now, with dragon age and farcry around the corner, destiny might not be getting played for a bit. I understand for bungie this game is big, but really looking at it, by industry standards for consoles, there are bigger vanilla RPGs out there. Skyrim, oblivion, dragons dogma, and there are more just can't think of them. And they are all last gen. Not sure where I sit with all this now.

      • my only question is, why they call it a EXPANSION if the content is already on you disk!? Also the 'eclusive' content for the playstasion is on you xbox disk! Can't we gamer's protect oure self and call them for court!? (I am really enyoing the content on the disk now, for real(best game ever, worst publisher!)

        • more concerned with the scaling factor on the armor and weapons. It takes ages to level up each piece, and while you do it you lose light level. Right now it's 2 light level lost whenever you "upgrade" your armor. In a year I suspect it will be 6 or 8 light level lost. The weapons are worse because they take easily 3 times as long as the armor AND can't be simultaneously equipped. This is a terrible gear upgrade system that will not work properly over this game's "expected" life (I put quotes around expected because I don't believe people who have gone through the hell of hard mode are going to like their raid weapons rendered obsolete overnight)

              Dude, you have two characters, the highest if which is 26. The other is level 3. It's okay to admit that this game just isn't your cup of tea, instead you decide to tell everyone else what's valuable and what isn't? I'm sorry, but from your account details you've barely even begun to scratch the surface of what desiny has to offer. We've heard a ton of whiners, and your not saying anything new. Save yourself some time (and effort you spent ranting) and go play something else.

            • The only thing that pisses me off about the expansion is the prices don't make sense, why the heck do we have to pay £34.99, and the US pay $34.99.

              • You just played destiny yesterday and you say you're bored with it and it lacks content. Why wouldn't you purchase whatever additional content they release? Of course you'll buy the expansions. You like destiny.

              • I view the expansion as a new raid plus a bunch of extras. I think its a lot of content. It just seems like a little because its spread out over all the activities. If you were to take all of the content and convert it so its just focusing on PvP maps it would probably double if not triple the current map count.

              • I'm sorry, they're adding an entire new raid. That alone could be a dlc I'd buy. But 2 more strikes, story missions, gear, level cap increase, and a bounty slot increase. Looks fine to me. How many maps you get in that Cod dlc again?

                • For dlc its cool.. But to call it an expansion...crazy. Expansions used to come with a games worth of content.

                  In every game with a forum there is a doomsayer, someone who believes everything the industry does is an attempt at corrupting the morale of the gamers and making us tools in their own twisted view of the world, you are not one of those, you are just bitter because chances are you are not getting loot, are tired of grinding and just want everything handed. Look at other games DLC content, not just CoD (btw you clearly have an issue with FPS), some don't even have missions and are mostly some gear or skins, also you seem to be ignoring this is the first DLC. 1 more is on the way by February at the latest, and really complaining about patches???. Besides the weapons (which isn't even complete since now the others will get buffed) I actually understand them changing the way the raid works, because come on a boss shouldn't be killed by getting pushed down a ledge (unless it's Mortal Kombat's bridge stage), besides that there hasn't been any other patches, except loot caves which also made sense. So look either go to kickstarter a back a project there where the gamers are "in control", or just enjoy what we have now, it's barely been 2 months and most people keep complaining about content, well IT'S AN MMO, it will never have enough content anyway since it's not supposed to end. Edit:Call me whatever you want, but at least I try to make the best out of the situation and don't waste time on the forums complaining about everything (except now, usually I come here looking for groups or some strike tips).

                  • $20 for the raid alone is worth it. I spend more than that for my wife and I to go to a 2 hour movie. The Internet has spawned a generation of entitled brats.

                    • My only problem is the people who insist on calling it an 'expansion'. Won't tell you why i hate when people do this (I've tried, and only succeeded in increasing my desire to throttle people through the monitor), just be glad im warning you now: You will be beaten to death with a wiffle bat for uttering 'Destiny Expansion' within my presence.

                      • I would say it's not worth my $20 but I got the DLC 1 and 2 pass with my preorder on Destiny. :/ It is certainly the thinnest DLC I have ever seen.
