It's called "Season of the Drifter" because it makes the playerbase drift away

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?

  • To be completely fair bungie split after they had developed everything for the season and while yes they’ve been liberated and whatnot they can’t just scrap the only thing they have for the community because then people will stop playining. Another thing to mention is that I remember seeing a bungie guy (the one named Zach or something) say something about a bungie created roadmap would be exciting or something. Regardless company’s make these things months in advance.

  • You do know that the annual pass is still an Activision project right? This season and next season are still Activision projects.

  • [quote] 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?[/quote] I know this is just a grind loop like the forge with a bunch of chores and pseudo rng- not what we play Destiny for at all. I agree with you on that BUT Gambit prime is a big improvement over the old Gambit for sure. Obviously I’m not going to play it for 3 months, though.

    • The annual pass is still apart of the activision contract since it was promised before the split.

    • OK, reality check. I may be so pissed off at Bungie that I'm currently unwilling to buy their season pass (despite liking Gambit, I still play the vanilla version), but try to think back to when Forsaken dropped, and Joker's Wild was probably in production. Everyone was applauding Gambit as one of the biggest assets of the add-on. It was new, it was different, it was exciting, it bridged the gap between PvE and PvP. It made perfect sense for Bungie to supplement it. Maybe Joker's Wild should have included more stuff, and maybe it will in the near future. But when they started working on JW, probably six months or more ago, supplementing Gambit was a smart play.

      • Didn't read it all, but what I did, I agree with some. I hate to be a negative Nellie, but come on BUNGIE..... OOPS! I JUST LEFT YOUR FLIPPING BROKE GABIT MATCH BUNGIE, ban me please. (So stupid and doctorial)! Gambit has always had a few glitches, but when the motes fall below the deck and you are trying to figure out how to pick'em up (and realize you can't) and you're losing by a landside b/c for some inconstant reason the taken knights and enemies are on fast forward and SUPER SPAM (which still unsure if that's ANOTHER cheat thing or BUNGIE's sadistic fun --either way, matches soooooooooooooo inconsistent). So, I just left when motes were unattainable ---just don't care. Oh, and I finally finish all my challenges and I think I have to wait to level in Gambit to complete "Playing for keeps?" if so, how stupid. It's not my challenge then --it's Bungie's control AGAIN. You just drag us on, and on, and on, and on...…... I don't believe in cheating, but I have way understand why people seek the advantage.....besides, from what I've heard, if true, you promote it with your hand in some devise. Folks, just like everything --it's about the bottom line and not us. Corruption even in gaming...….. That's ok, what goes around WILL come around......

        So you don’t like it, that’s understandable. However do understand that this content is not made post activision separation. This was planned and made while still partnered with activision. We won’t actually see what post activision content looks like until after the summer add on.

        • Apart from the crappy announcement about the Prismatic Matrix being replaced by weekly paid loot boxes, I was really looking forward to Joker's Wild, I was thinking "Oh, i'll grind all the pinnacle weapons and the new armour and triumphs!". Then I read the patch notes about the nerfs to Whisper, Sleeper and stuff and it honestly took the wind out of my sails a bit. I enjoyed Gambit Prime and the Reckoning, but there really isn't a whole lot else is there? The overall story and lore seems really cool, but there's no new strikes, no new crucible maps or modes, no raid, no vendor refresh, barely any new exotics which are still super rare and you're more likely to get dupes, no changes to power levelling after stopping powerful bounties to be saved across seasons and a whole bunch of glitches. I like the concept of the gameplay loop of earning synths in Gambit Prime, taking them to Reckoning to get the armour to use back in GP. However, I really do think Reckoning should have had it's own armour set based on the Nine (completely new, not the old Trials gear, even though I would like that updated to Y2). Even though I enjoyed Gambit Prime/Reckoning, they are not something I see keeping me hooked for 3 months. I'm not sure why they bothered having 3 tiers of armour when if you wait a week, you can save your synths for the final tier and skip the rest. Did they think we'd want to grind for a full set of tier 1 armour so we could experience 1 or 2 of the gambit perks for a week? When we could get the top tier armour a week later, making 1/2 useless? I already finished the grind for the Oxygen scout and made a good start towards Fabled in comp, I wanna get the Gambit MG, do the Nine stuff and Thorn/Allegiance quest, but I think this season will be very casual for me. Luckily Division 2, DMC5, Metro Exodus and Sekiro will keep me occupied.

        • I'm pretty sure this was in the works long before the split, which wasn't long ago. Not to mention, Activision is a publisher not a developer. They literally have just about nothing to do with Bungie's constant bad decisions.

        • .....did you expect a complete make over after the Activision split? This content no doubt has been worked on before the split, before even forsaken as they had a roadmap out shortly after forsaken launched.

        • My guess is this whole season pass content thing was probably already finished if not near finished when Activision hit the road. If that’s so then there’s no time to switch gears once Activision leaves so they’re pretty much stuck following through. This whole road map was pretty much announced before they left so this is pretty much it. I personally think they would be better off just releasing it all at once to have some diversity in the offerings instead of focusing in just one area at a time.

          I’m sorry I had to come back to laugh some more at this post. You clearly took so much time to type this out. Yet you actually don’t know anything. All you managed to do was make yourself sound really stupid.

            There are ways to give feedback and get a point across and this ain't it. To the "post-Activision" comment, this isn't that either. This content has been green lit and done since before the split and the next season is Activision also, as it's the last content coming from Vicarious Visions. I'm not here saying this release is a success as it very clearly hasn't brought players back and I'm one one countless who have no desire to go level to 700, but that said, we don't know the how's and why's of the way things ended up and screaming obscenities on the forums isn't going to get you heard, it's going to get you ignored. This community has been much better in their feedback and constructive criticism these past few months than I've seen historically and posts like this are a real step backwards in trying to get the developers to care what we have to say on these forums.

            • Yeah I had to stop about two lines in... you really have no idea what you’re talking about do you? It’s cool if you don’t prefer this kind of content and you are more than welcome to state your own opinions. However next time I would suggest being a bit more informed before posting your opinion on the internet.

            • People DID ask for new hoard modes, and for them to be match made, just didn't expect them to be this simplistic though, where you could be half asleep and still complete it, after a few weeks of doing it.

              • It blows my mind that so many people are so upset about this dlc, its a gambit DLC, we have a new mode of gambit and a horde mode that people have been asking for. Plus there are 3 activities we haven’t even got yet and people are acting like this is destinys low point. Take a breath folks

              • Nothing is really new with this Gambit expansion. I've seen their art departments work on ArtStation and there are some epic sets that have been rendered but they're not using it. Instead they craft a single set of armour made using previous assets and just change the colour of the gambit logo. It's lazy and i expected better from the studio that created HALO.
