Is it me or are episodes worse seasons?
Same amount of content, but spread even thinner. So far, it sucks. Hopefully the next episodes are better.

We're currently on the path of getting less synthweave bounties too. This is a smaller issue, but needs to be recognized the same way as they hand out bright dust week to week.
-
They need to stop capping the XP levels worth each act. I have been sitting on unclaimed triumphs and bounties (with a few exceptions) until Act 3 starts tomorrow. Other than that they pretty much feel like the same thing with a different name.

7 AntwortenSome of us told you what it was and most of you yelled back delusions about 'being negative' and such. Enjoy your seasons.

2 AntwortenI actually like the pacing better so far. Story can be done on story weeks… but no story stuff when the events come around so I just do the event without worrying about missing story. People finally need to realize that the game isn’t designed to be played 8 hours a day for three months. The one thing I miss right now is the GM catch-up node. I missed a couple of weeks early on and would have liked to have done some solstice bounties catching up GM’s. I also think events need a third level of rewards after getting the armors and weapons you want… maybe huge bounties for artificer armor or something like that for really dedicated grinders.

And you're only realizing that just now? Of course these "episodes" are terrible. Who would've thought they were good at all?
-
Seasons are mind numbingly boring, there's way better games out there.

It’s not just you. Bungie can change what they call things if they want. People (or at least some of them) can see through it. -
3 AntwortenEven though I can't be bothered as I didn't buy FS I realized that season pass progression now is hard capped as well. Doesn't matter too much but it's another cap-limit-restriction delay-engage-play longer mechanic. Can possibly longer playing time for players make up the assumed loss of players?
-
It’s not just you. Bungie said back in the Lightfall annual pass that they “heard our feedback” about the stale/boring post expansion content. Then their answer is the same exact thing with a different shade of lipstick. This post expansion content sucks.
-
It’s literally the same drip fed content. You can put lipstick on a pig but it’s still a pig.

Bearbeitet von Ogma: Destroyer of Worlds: 8/26/2024 1:17:26 PMInstead of 6 or 7 weeks of story there’s now 9, but the time gates between acts feels bad. Especially now that there are weapons time gated behind each act of the same story/episode. As for activities we have breach, battlegrounds, and enigma. While that’s one more activity than a normal season, the activities are very samey to past activities except for enigma. Are we going to get another activity in act 3? If Echoes is the standard it feels like three episodes probably averages out to about the same amount of content as four seasons. The difference is probably negligible. Again though, my issue is that the time/weapon gates feel bad and the actives feel samey.

Bearbeitet von TheBoyWhoLived: 8/23/2024 9:00:52 AMThe “Acts” part is the problem. They know there isnt enough content in the game rn to keep people playing, so they split the season (episode) to 3 so youll have to come back to play every 40 days if you want to olay the content you paid for Personally im not yet sure if ill buy the next episodes just because of that
-
Not to mention this episode focuses more on Saint and Osiriss relationship than the actual story.
-
Short answer : Yes.
-
At the moment? Yes, it's a worse season.
-
its less content and yes, literally everyone is thinking this.
-
3 AntwortenNot just you. My entire clan has been discussing this. It's terrible. It's literally just WORSE seasons. We were annoyed at seasons before because they were so slow and boring. Now they're twice as long and have the same amount of content. Plus we get our season rank gains completely halted for weeks at a time. I don't know who thought this was a good idea but I hope they were one of the people who got fired.
-
1 AntwortenEpisodes are far worse. drip feed to the max. Its turned me and so many I play with away from the game. We want to play but,... not this.

Bearbeitet von Honed: 8/24/2024 4:30:03 PMim just mad i dont see steelfeather anywhere with the saint weps, and it looks like echos part 3 wont add it in either, so im very annoyed, maybe even a little angry it wasnt added back, because that auto was amazing. i could care less about the story, the story has always been bad i only cared about messing with guns.
-
It’s the same crap. Nothing new there, only it’s spread out even more.
-
Because it is? From four seasons to three episodes a year is obviously less content overall being spread even thinner
-
Worst part is from what I have seen, this one is going to be a cliff hanger. This just feels extremely poorly made like they don't know what they are doing after Final Shape was done. Oh wait, they laid off their lead story heads so yeah, they don't know what they are doing anymore.
-
Definitely worse imo. The time gated rewards and 3 weeks until the next act is dumb.
-
1 AntwortenChange of name doesn't mean change of content. Seasons/Episodes Burns/Singes Strikes/Battlegrounds Bounties/Pathfinder It's all the same, just presented in a slightly different way. If you expected any different you over expected.
-
1 AntwortenWhy would they ever get better? Bungie literally pulled everyone from every other project and put them on TFS, then delayed it for months to make it the best they could. The result was a mediocre DLC with game killing QoL changes and the most banal season D2 has ever seen that was more about virtue signalling than being interesting. Then they tried to cover up their shortfall by paying for E-mag reviews that oversold the mediocrity as "9/10". The wasteland they've made of the game is just the best they can do.

elitegtryin to work with whats left.. for now - 4/3/2026 12:46:30 PM
When I saw the model presented - with the cookie cutter episode boxes and raid/quest etc boxes in each I was like.. "This is what you present internally.. at a a meeting or business proposal"... < I have literally done the same in powerpoint with my products.. but I would never show that to my customers. When I saw that > idiots.. you are just showing us that you are extending seasons and making it easier for yourselves.. this is no good change for players.. little did I realize they would even be so scared of the quantity/quality of content they release to timegate it!! LOL... at least hide that from the player. They poured everything into marketing for FS and the story (many of you seemed to like it).. but thats it.. like that hollow shamble guy says.. it is nothing underneath the covers. Obviously people let go there.. and as a business I imagine if they decided the only input of cash in the future is buys of marathon.. we need all hands on deck.. and they shifted everyone over... notice the lack of response times on issues now.. its a mess.
