It's called season of the drifter because it's about as relevant as an 80's chocolate bar.

[quote]EDIT: I'm laughing at all the screaming pissbabies in the comments. "YOU JUST ARENT GOOD AT GAMBIT!!!!!!!!" And I don't care to GET good at it because it's a boring ass mode that nobody plays properly. "JUST GO PLAY OTHER GAMES!!!!!!" Why should I have to? I bought Destiny 2 because they promised it would expand on and take feedback on Destiny 1 into consideration during development and I loved Destiny 1. Why should I say "lmao okay bungie have my money for free and don't give me the game you sold to me, it's okay"? I want Destiny 2 to be the best it can be and it objectively is not. "IT TAKES TIME TO DEVELOP NEW CONTENT AND THE ANNUAL PASS WAS UNDER ACTIVISION!!!!!" And they could have released a community announcement stating that they will release what was already done under Activision because it's already been paid for but there will be a big new update that will be essentially a new expansion coming later on. Instead, with everybody watching and waiting to see what would happen, they release more Gambit and go back to radio silence as usual. You kids are junkies. You're addicted to Destiny's grind because you've already put so much time in to it that you can't bare to admit you weren't having fun, and so you're letting Bungie continue to exploit you for more cash instead of doing what sane people would do and demand to be treated like an actual customer instead of a crack whore to a pimp. Look around, the community is in uproar, even with your vote bombing any negative threads like mine, they still come out with hundreds if not thousands of up votes because the community is sick of this shit. We want things to improve, and if you want to continue being spoonfed garbage every few months, you're part of the problem. Instead of letting Bungie step all over you, imagine how much fun you'd be having if every update was a Taken King or a Rise of Iron or vanilla Forsaken. That's what Destiny 1 was, not this "annual pass" shit. And if Bungie isn't going to make it clear they intend to change for the better, they have not once given us any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. So go ahead, keep screaming and whining at me for saying what you think deep down but are too addicted to admit it. I paid for the pass, I'll play it off and on until I feel like I did enough with it to not feel like I got completely scammed, and then if Bungie doesn't end the year on a high note I'll abandon it to the trash that deserves it. ------------------------------------------ What the actual F*ck were you thinking, Bungie? No. Seriously. What the actual F*CK??? This is it? This is your triumphant post-Activision update? This is what you have to show everybody who has ever given you the benefit of the doubt and believed it was Activision's greed that made Destiny 2 such a slogfest of pointless tasks and meandering chores as opposed to feeling like we're participating in an actual world with stuff going on in it? Gambit. Yet another re-hashed exotic from D1. And a horde mode. That you have to play gambit to access. How about instead of wasting your development time and budget on match-based modes NOBODY asked for, continuously adding more and more versions of those modes NOBODY asked for, and then forcing people who don't want to do them to play them for quests and exotics, you actually work on providing us with new zones to explore, new enemies to fight, a new threat to fight against, and then focus on the modes you ALREADY HAVE and balance them, improve them, make them BETTER so people actually don't mind playing them for quests every now and then? Forsaken was such a promising start. New big threat, new zone, new story, new enemies...and then it crashed and burned the moment you hit endgame, and instead of working on fixing that and expanding on the huge foundation you just laid for yourselves you decided "you know what would be great? If we ignored EVERYTHING we just did and made people play gambit more." What the f*ck is wrong with you people? This isn't the company that made Halo, this isn't the company that made Taken King and Rise of Iron. This is a company that doesn't know what the hell to do with itself, a company that spent too much time under Activision's thumb and ended up thinking like their executives instead of game developers. You people are an indie studio with legions of people ready to throw money at you for something, ANYTHING worth playing. The sky is the limit for you guys...and you make more gambit. Bungie, you need to make changes and you need to make them fast. From what I can tell you are fast losing the good will you garnered by leaving Activision and once that's gone you'll have nothing left. I love Destiny, but the game you currently have available to play is objectively not Destiny. It has the same name and setting, but it is not Destiny. Whatever is at the end of this "annual pass" (stop using that -blam!-ing term, you shouldn't be making "annual passes", you should be making expansions) better be incredible. It better introduce a new zone, with new enemies, an engaging story, a slew of balance changes and QoL improvements, content that builds on the foundations Forsaken left, a solid end game loop that people want to keep coming back to instead of endlessly grinding piece by piece to hit max power level only for there to be nothing to do with it, because that's not an end game. Because if not, you won't have a playerbase anymore. You'll have a few die-hard fanatics who are so brainwashed by your grind machine that they'll do anything and say anything to protect their precious addiction, a game that people won't even be able to talk about the good times without feeling a taste of bile in their mouth, and a looming bankruptcy filing. But hey...at least you got people to play more gambit, right?[/quote] LOLz, first off, I would never post a wall of text trying to display a sour taste of this game. IMO, it actually shows your hardcore devotion to this game. If I wanted to quit something, I wouldn’t make a whiney type post to try and get some sort of sympathy. That’s actually pathetic. I’d rather just walk away from. LOLz, I don’t need sympathy and/or any sort of “likes” to get through such a life changing decision.... LOLz

I found the content quite interesting lore wise, it was pretty entertaining doing the allegiance quest with the drifters logs

Season of the drifter, because it spends more time going sideways than forward

Yeah...BA was a chore and I now enjoy Evil within on PS4 instead. Gambit is not particulary fun. Think I will come back for D3, not sure though.

destiny 2 its over, everyday lost players, i was playing november, december, jan, feb, and now i want get out, worst update, nerfs, bungie take the end of destiny... worst people ever making a game...

U know u could of summarised this whole post with just the following : SEASON OF THE DRIFTER IS UTTER AND TOTAL SHIT! See, wasn't so hard, was it?

You nailed it man.

Lol I agree 10 fold

I completely agree and as a beta version onwards gamer of Destiny, I am fed up with the crap we get fed. Why do you play it people ask, because I spent my hard earned moola to do so and have the right to complain. Gambit is the worst piece of rubbish with trying to pick up motes in, absolute crap.

Judging by the comments looks like you hit a nerve.

That was awesome. I agree with pretty much everything you say here, and it was well said!

Bungie aren't trying at all with d2 they just don't care. I bet all the annual pass "content" is already made. I don't think d2 will get better. You may aswell just wait until d3

Gambit is a cool idea but it’s not the type of thing you can build an entire gaming franchise on. They need to focus on raids and trials. The things that made destiny great and stand out from other games. I’m literally not excited at all about a new season based on gambit with the a addition of a new version of gambit being the main attraction. F gambit lol

No solo queue and poor economy made people leave before this season.

If Gambit Prime ends up just being teams dominating solo players most of the time, then expect it to die real fast. Four solo players can beat teams, but it's not likely. Cue the people saying Destiny 2 can't support team-based matchmaking with the current population and then in the next breath talking about how great it's doing.

Their actual competitive PvP playlist really needs some TLC, but instead, they just make a competitive Gambit playlist. It's difficult for me to believe that they've abandoned traditional PvE and PvP to put all of their eggs in the Gambit basket.

This is basically a non-season if you ask me. There's really nothing new to do. No new raids, no new strikes and not really much content apart from the weapon quests (thorn etc). But those quests are just a bunch of chores that have you revisit places you've already seen a thousand times. ie no new real actual content. I think the player base is going to evaporate over the next couple of months. People are going to get sick and tired of the same old crap, same old loot, same old RNG, and same old Bungie that nerfs shit to hell and back for no good reason.
