Yep, the game has regressed back into paywalling content we’ve paid for already: welcome back to The Dark Below!
I understand I can’t play the new strike without the season pass, that is totally fine. What isn’t fine is locking out a whole playlist (on a double reward week no less) for people who blew money on your latest expansion. Is there really not a playlist with a different strike for non-pass holders??

Editado por TheShadow: 4/2/2021 12:37:41 PMYep, there should be other options, but Bungie isn't about player's choice. Edit I don't understand why some are having a hard time understanding what you said. It's like a lot of them can even read 🤦♂️

4 RespuestasYour saying you have both Beyond Light and the Season Pass and still don't have access to the GM?

3 RespuestasWhy should FREE to Play players get access to endgame content?
-
Oh no...., a single strike that is the same as the others *Spins finger*. Your are SOOOoooo missing out on this end game loot I can't even begin to tell you.
-
It was a mistake apparently
-
Bungie should honestly just make the nightfall free because of how laughable bad they messed up. Blatant false advertising and only fixing the issue when it’s the nightfall with Adept Palindrome and double rewards. Not even a sorry from them. Just a sucks to be you is all F2P gets.

Its a business! If you want end game content spend $10🤷♂️

Editado por EnthusiasticRobot: 4/2/2021 2:56:23 AMWhat baffles me most is that they paywalled the nightfall version of the strike, but not the normal version. Like, if I couldn’t access it at all without the DLC, that would make sense. If I couldn’t access the Nightfall playlist without the DLC, that would also make sense. Sure, I’d be losing access to content I already payed for, but that hasn’t stopped them before. The way it is now, it just feels like an oversight. Edit: Nevermind, I can’t access it normally either.

7 RespuestasNot trying to be the toxic commenter type of person but I have to 100% disagree. I don't think anybody should be able to do a free-to-play and play End Game content. It's nothing more than a glorified demo to be able to experience the game. It wasn't meant for the community to run free to play, they're a business after all. Plus there's several other reasons I could mention why free-to-play player should be locked out of certain things that I won't bore you with.

1 RespuestaThere shouldn’t be any free to play in this game due to its scope. However when they change ownership of the franchise the game took a HUGE hit and the content released wasn’t nearly on par with what used to be. It resulted in a major loss of player base. Hence they opened up free to play to gain back the player base. Which worked wonders for them! They improved Eververse and raised the price (and perks) to play content for paid users, then cut content in half by sun setting with seasons and time gating end game content. The free to play aspect of the game is absolutely huge content wise for games of this quality. It was a publicity move that paid off for them in more ways than one. The game isn’t going to change from here. They’ll never retract that. Paid content now is to give you access to just a couple of other things, and some gear and weapons (including exotics). Proportionally, the paid content is basically 3x less vs what the game used to be, at the same price (because of free to play access vs paid content gameplay).

You can, launch strike playlist and you may randomly load into it.

2 RespuestasEditado por Sweet Lew 88: 4/1/2021 6:47:29 PMHow can you not see this coming? You even knew about Crotas end and the Omnigul strike. Free to play players should be happy that parts of the game are free.

2 RespuestasIt's not like they won't have double rewards in 3 weeks stop complaining and don't play. This strike sucks anyway, it's long and boring.
-
I'd give you mine if I could, at least somebody would be using it.

Every new strike from Y2 to now has required the expansion and season. Previously, the strike was release during the expansion (like glassway). You didn’t know you had to have the season because you got the season when you bought the expansion. Doesn’t mean it was different. You should have to own the annual expansion and the season in which content is being released. Stop being cheap. Maybe buy deluxe editions to get the expansion and all seasons.

1 RespuestaOh no, I have to pay money for a better experience, why pay them money, they should just give us things while the company pays for the lights with welfare! Yeah stop whining and pay up if you want it.

i think you have a point here.

2 RespuestasBuy Beyond Light?

4 RespuestasNot only the nightfall. Those who only own the season pass not with Beyond Light are also locked out of a Weekly Seasonal Challenge (released this week) as well as 2 Seasonal Triumphs (player and team flawless nightfall run)
