Where do I begin...
[b][u]Campaign Story[/u][/b]
-Same old 1 dimensional Destiny story lines, new bad guy arrived, kill bad guy.
-Same old terrible dialogue and cutscenes that feel like trailers.
-Filled with Corny one liners and Cliche’s like “the line between light and dark is so very thin”
-the stranger really didn’t explain anything, nothing was explained in fact.
-What was that? Like 3-4 hours??!?
-Artificially extended play time by making you go from Variks, back to the tower, back to the stranger, sparrow across Europa.... do busy work
-Stasis is kinda cool I guess... it also completely breaks PVP, getting frozen is guaranteed death.
-We fight the fifth version of fallen re-skins in 6 years LMFAO. Woulda thought with all the new architecture of the triangles it would be the right time to introduce a new alien race... NOPEEE
[b][u]Europa + cosmodrome[/u][/b]
-Another barren wasteland with nothing to do in it. Feels like d1 mars but with snow and even more dead.
-No fast travel point on the north side to artificiality inflate your playtime
-Cosmodrome is back LMFAO more rehashed content what’s new
[u][b]Sunsetting[/b][/u]
At first I wasn’t opposed to this, just like the power cap on pre-ttk weapons. That was, IF THEY ACTUALLY PUT NEW GUNS IN THE GAME.
-there’s barely any new weapons, and plenty are still reskins. In the past September expansions we had new armour and weapon sets for every single activity (crucible, vanguard, raid, trials, iron banner, gambit, strike specific, hell even factions in d1)
-they power capped guns which people grinded hours for a god roll, and now they start dropping again with uncapped versions?!??!? Biggest slap in the face by bungie ever.
[b][u]Overall lack of content[/u][/b]
-1 new strike, (sorry, D1 strikes doesn’t count), 7 vaulted
-NO new crucible maps, 11 vaulted
-NO new crucible modes, a bunch removed
-NO WORLD LOOT POOL REFRESH
-1 raid but at the cost OF 5. FIVE. Cinco.
Not only is there the smallest loot pool of all time, there’s also the smallest amount of variety within crucible maps, strikes, raids, gambit, modes, planets EVER.
Overall, this is the single greatest ripoff bungie has ever made for 50$. On top of that, they are still selling forsaken and shadowkeep to scam newcomers who will be spending money on stuff that literally does not exist in the game anymore.
TLDR: for a whopping 50$, you get
one raid
one planet
one strike
no new loot pool
And you lose
4 planets
5 raids
7 strikes
11 crucible maps
All the weapons you worked for
A somewhat fun PVP game free of broken stasis

BL Narrative is the best Destiny has seen. There's so much more to it that just the campaign

Then go away ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

…I apologise, I love bungie xxx - old
Remember Destiny wants to become its own. Remember it broke up with Activision. Remember Destiny shouldn’t of been Destiny 2, Destiny is trying to find its own feet now. PS5 will tell destiny’s future, Give it a chance everyone! Destiny will be great again just wait!!! 2021! Plus not going to comment back to negative Energy have a good year everyone and stay safe! Whooooooooooop xxx -
I didn't realize they took 11 crucible maps away. good post, possibly the best so far.

4 RepliesHoly crap I'm glad I didn't buy the expansion.

100% agree, this is the first Bungie content I didn't purchase since, well, ever. I'm glad it's free on Game Pass, so I now know the best they have to offer, isn't worth my money. Let it sink in that this is what they were working on for years; this is what they delayed for three months; yes, this....

NOPEEE [/quote] This is a big one for me, and it’s a less-talked about but critical element to the boring and repetitive feeling most people get when playing D2. It’s truly pathetic and lazy that years pass and we don’t see any new enemy races. Just the same old ones over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over…

The best part about the dlc is the black loading screen and the faster load times. The rest has been meh.

3 RepliesWhatttt? Are you insane? You have tons to do! You can go and get the 10 or so new weapons they added! Or hey, even better, go and get the 3 "distinct" armor sets from the playlist activites! Wait, you wanted an interesting villain rhat we could actually connect with and that would become a part of the world? That's crazy man, you're playing destiny! Here, we see angry enemy, we go instantly kill with no real effect on the world! Now listen here, be a good bungie fan and sit down and wait for them to take 90% of the game from you, they might add back 1% the next dlc!

It won't vastly improve things but I think at this point reward limits should be done away with considering how much content got vaulted/sunsetted. Keep Xur there all week. Raid rewards for every completion. Nightfall rewards at minimum once a day. Not sure if the nightfall has changed since I've only started playing again a few months ago after a lengthy break. Though removing like 90% of the loot pool should warrant a change in the reward systems in-game.

10 RepliesLet us not act like they did not nuke 100’s of lore mysterious and concepts from those planets a better team could make wonders with, remember the giant worm on titan, the infinite forest, the pyramidion, rasputin, the leviathan, the god damn triumph hall like ffs we worked our asses off to get all 50 and yah just yoinked it, dozen of planetary events you yoinked, and AND all the extra activities such as menagerie or reckoning, AND THE FARM THE FARM WASN’T EVEN BLOWN UP BY THE PYRAMIDS YET IT IS GONE LEAVING US WITH 1 CRAPPY BLAND SOCIAL SPACE. A better team would of made a dungeon out of the infinite forest, a better team would of made a raid out of the pyramidion, a better team would of made a raid boss out of the giant underwater worm on titan, but nope your dumb asses scrapped all of the concepts, you had a nice meaty turkey you skinned and cooked it, yet handed us the skin and -blam!-ing melted all the meat, -blam!- you guys do better, show some balls and either refund us for the content you deleted, or add it all back and ret con it like you do for HALF OF YOUR -blam!-ING LORE, lol don’t even give me that storage space crap have you seen the next gen consoles and the size of ESO’s file size quit the shit you just wanted to make your jobs a little bit more convenient at the cost of all us invested players

This is lazy. Like always. Same lazy posts in this forum.

2 RepliesTotally agree and I got it with gamepass.. I would’ve requested a refund terrible dlc .
-
Edited by Double07: 11/16/2020 9:55:37 PMThey should reset the loot pool with reskined assets. Also, the strike is basically omnighaul but with a wizard not named Omnighaul... Did omnighal really happen? Or is our guardian under severe Déjà Vu?? 🤔

I only bought the season pass with the extra silver i had and so far im really disappointed, the game looks very sterile at the moment i grinded a few hours to raise power cap and next day i just stared at the game to start up and thought "eeeehh i don't really wanna do the same stuff i have done the past few months" so went play something else instead, there isnt anything really new to push me back to the game i just cant find in my heart to go back to destiny right now, feel burned out i guess, will wait a few more weeks before deciding if i should get beyond light or invest on another game

1 ReplyYeah you killed it... I don’t think I’m going to get it Unless MAJOR changes r made. I’ve played D1, D2 everything up until this point. I’m so mad that you cannot infuse older weapons/armor anymore. Pretty lame :( And I want there to be a Countdown mode. Just separate from Survival/Survival Freelance. I don’t get why more maps cant be in rotation? You guys always bring back the same maps and they’re all great but just leave them in rotation. I go into pvp rn and I’m doing okay at 1067 power goin up against all the 1200s BUT WHAT POWER IS FREEZING Guardians??? IT’S NOT EVEN A SUPER?? I just don’t know how I feel about it. Me realizing, that I’m going to need to wear a much more recent set of armor.... how stupid we play Destiny 2 to collect armor/weapons so Bungie can outdate them, make them not relevant, and have your favorite things go in and out like a phase. The argument could be made that true skill could be at 1067 power, still spanking all you Guardians in the early 1200s but I don’t know about 1250-1250:/ I’m upset mannn like why would I as a customer buy the DLC... I only play Survival really anyway

2 RepliesSo happy I went from a daily player to a no buy for Beyond Light, Destiny 2 non-player. The amount of free time in my life it has given me back is unreal.
-
I’m so happy I didn’t purchase BL. This is the first expansion I didn’t purchase and do not plan to. This game is all about how long they can extend your time in game. I don’t have it in me to keep doing bounty after bounty to chase a meaningless number. I loved Destiny but I’m loving leaving it behind even more.

I came back to D2 again after a while and only because I'm a game pass subscriber and thus could sample Beyond Light for free. I think the campaign is decent, there were some moments with great encounter design and exciting gameplay due to the new stasis subclass. However those moments were gone once I completed the campaign. The core activities, such as strikes, still suffer from rather boring gameplay. Strikes feel too easy once you're at the proper light level and there are few moments where you think "oh that's a well-designed encounter" or "that gunfight was fun". It's mostly waiting for ghost to "hack" some thing or other and fulfilling basic tasks such as carrying an orb to a recepticle and at the end of every strike there is a boss that is a bullet sponge par excellence and must be fought with kinetic weapons due to the rarity of green or purple ammo blocks dropping. So all of the above make for rather boring, predictable gameplay that lacks those exciting moments that were present in the campaign.

1 Replygod damn. EVERYTHING you said is true. Normally this place is full of whine but your post is dead on accurate ALL POINTS

6 RepliesAlso if someone hasn't mentioned it yet, the moon and the dreaming city destinations and activities are absolutely pointless now as all of their loot is capped to 1060 so no point in going to those places. Honestly they should have just vaulted the moon and the dreaming city aswell because there is absolutely no reason to even go to these places anymore. Worst part about those two destinations and their activities being useless now is the fact that, as of right now there is only a handful of "rewarding" activities to do and your choices are strikes, gambit, crucible, public events, lost sectors and loads of bounties. Most of which is all on Europa and of course we're also going to have one new raid when it comes out but that'll be the only one worth playing imo so really we traded seven raids for one . Seriously the moon and the dreaming city are only still in the game to make the people that payed for them think that they got to keep something. Yes we did get to keep those places but they are irrelevant now. Remove the moon, remove the dreaming city, quit pretending they're relevant bungie or make them relevant. Every year Bungie always delivers with stuff that gives me a good laugh, it's the only thing they're good at doing consistently so at least they have that. Can't wait to see what other gems are hiding in this new "expansion" but I'm sure there will be more, there always is.

Yeah, huge waste of $70.

this DLC is "Beyond Lite"

Interesting how the cosmodrome is the original one not rise of iron It’s not even possible lore wise
