I can't provide a review of the game from my personal perspective because I didn't buy it and I don't plan to do so any time soon. However, I have been watching the reviews of the game, have heard several clan members talk about the game's positive notes, and I have weighed those against other written material out there regarding the expansion, including this thread and many others who have posted their first impressions. Taking all of these sources into account, the expansion does not sound like a gamechanger. It simply carries on the same model of TTK, which is questification of exotics, strikes playing a feature role in the endgame phase, the raid is still the penultimate PVE accomplishment (as it should be - not a bad thing), public arenas like CoO or the Archon Forge offer alternate PVE activities which are fun, but hard to access due to the inability to bring in a fireteam of 6 and the apparent lack of people playing it - due to lack of SIVA artifacts (i think. I haven't played so I could be wrong), etc. etc. etc. It's still the same game it was in TTK, just with different window dressing. I don't mean to have all of these bits taken in a negative context, but that could be my Y1 bias shining through. Bottom line is this. If you liked TTK, if you were satisfied with TTK and the changes TTK brought to the game, odds are you are going to enjoy RoI. But if you didn't like what TTK did to the game (essentially, if you didn't like the changes to the game from Y1 to Y2), then RoI really doesn't offer you anything new, doesn't bridge the gap between the founding generation of guardians and the taken tots, and it really doesn't offer you anything to pull you back into the fold. So in that sense, RoI, has done nothing to appeal to disenfranchised Y1 players like myself in order to bring us back into the fold. So I haven't re-upped and I really don't plan on doing so. Things could change. Later updates could revive the old raids. Management could choose to at least reverse their stance against elemental primaries. They could make Y1 gear infusable so Y1 players don't feel like we're being discriminated against when all gear EXCEPT Y1 gear is brought forward. All of these things are still possibilities that COULD bring me back. Its early. We'll see if it happens. But I doubt it. And If Bungie can't sell me on an expansion, they're going to have a much harder time selling me on the sequel to the game considering I'll have had several months to immerse myself in alternatives (skyrim) and my most recent memories of the game weren't exactly fond ones.
