Annual Pass for $30 is for the entire second year for D2. That's 3 bucks a month. Not that much if you put it into perspective. For 3 content drops, and the only thing we know about them is that they'll be smaller than the 20 dollar expansions. Hopefully the content will be good quality. Value is relative, if Destiny is a game you play constantly and enjoy, then this is definitely worth it. D1's Year 2 was free, but was one of the largest content droughts ever. God I hated it. It provided Festival of the Lost, Sparrow Racing, and the April Update. D2's upcoming Y2 will not only provide seasonal and special events, but content drops with the pass. It won't be as empty. Should it have been free? Maybe, but expecting something for free, especially from Bungie, just sets yourself up for disappointment. EDIT: techincally it's actually 70 bucks for the entire year of D2. I missed the actual expansion.

[quote]Value is relative, if Destiny is a game you play constantly and enjoy, then this is definitely worth it.[/quote] Opinions vary, especially when no one knows anything about whether they are just updates or actual expansion. [quote]D1's Year 2 was free, but was one of the largest content droughts ever. God I hated it. It provided Festival of the Lost, Sparrow Racing, and the April Update.[/quote] Again, opinions vary. D1 also had the incentive D2 doesn't when it comes to a loot base system that D2 does not have. D2 is a cosmetic game that does nothing for the game. Then there were random rolls, 2 raids by the first expansion and D1 had some of the most sought out weapons in this entire game. Even if you add the entire D2 at this point. The amount of content literally has nothing to do with a quality and quantity type of game if there is a decent loot system. Even with the lack of events when you say lack of content. D1 had that incentive to keep playing that it kept a huge player base. You can't say that about D2 at all. [quote]D2's upcoming Y2 will not only provide seasonal and special events, but content drops with the pass. It won't be as empty.[/quote] As I said, Bungie can add hundreds of events and it wont make a bit of difference at all if they don't have that incentive, and making Tess endgame content was not cool at all knowing the lack of rewards knowing that 75% of it was reskinned content that you used already that's boring as hell knowing how watered down and dumb down this game actually is versus D1. [quote]Should it have been free? Maybe, but expecting something for free, especially from Bungie, just sets yourself up for disappointment.[/quote] This I agree with.

  • Keep in mind that Y2 of D2 will be vastly different from its Y1 counterpart, just like it was in D1. Ironically, all of D1's greatest weapons were from Y1, and they were left behind. Y2 gear was...well...mediocre compared to the likes of fatebringer, Black hammer, etc. The Y2 exotics wouldn't compare either. Not to say they were bad. They just weren't as good. With the Y2 update, as well as forsaken, and Bungie's current exotic philosophy now that they're finally making strong weapons, so I'm going to assume Y2 is going to be filled with good incentive via weapons. At least the exotics. Not to mention random rolls, the masterwork system, and the mod system being improved and implemented. These will hopefully improve the feeling of gear, as well as customization. Regarding the TTK update, do you mean the April update? That took how many months after TTK released? It was the only considerable content drop of the year. Sparrow racing was just a fun gamemode that got boring after a while. Festival of the Lost was pure cosmetic crap, and the Y3 one was worse. Y3 had the Dawning, which recycled/updated a bunch of obselete content, as well as brought forth obselete exotics and returned sparrow racing. It added a couple new things though. Age of triumph speaks for itself, I liked it a lot. But once again it was recycled content with. But of new. That's about 3 free content drops (I honestly wouldn't count Festival of the Lost) in 2 years. With the upcoming year of D2, 3 content drops will be from the annual pass, as well as any free seasonal or special events like the Dawning. That's, on paper, already more than Y2 and 3 of D2. Like you said, all that content is meaningless without satisfying incentive, but with all the upcoming improvements in Y2, it will at last be where D1 is. Maybe even better. Of course, that's also hoping Bungie doesn't make the same mistake and take away our stuff...again. Apologies if I missed any content drops from D1, my memory may be off.

  • Wrong. The entire second year is $70 or did you forget you have pay $40 for forsaken in the first place? So you’re looking at roughly $6/month. Still not that bad. Just thought I would help you with your math.

  • We really shouldn’t expect anything free
