Hello I just want to share my words and thoughts. Feel free to comment your thoughts.
[b]Let´s start with this season, the activities and story. [/b]
This season feels.... underwhelming. I don´t know why, because there is quite some stuff to grind for. But actually that´s also part of the problem. More to that later. Bungie teasert us with big words, something like "Season 17 will blow your mind" And that did not happen. Not at all. The seasonal activity is basically the entrance encounter of the leviathan raid with scorn in open world. It´s fine for the beginning of a raid, it´s fine to add something to the story... But let´s be honest; the story behind this activity is lame. It´s just something something with nightmares of enemys we already farmed till we quit for a week. And on top of that we have run this over and over and over again, till we [i]eventually[/i] have enough deepsight weapons.
[b]the weekly seasonal quest[/b]
This actually is quite good. The locations are.... well recycled. But that´s not so bad, because the story behind is interesting and good (finally we get some background lore about Zavalla! I´ve waited years for that to happen.) And also we do not need to grind the hell out of it, that´s a big bonus. For me at least.
[b]the new dungeon[/b]
The story of the dungeon is really good. I really enjoy to listen to the lore. But that´s only a small part of this whole activity, isn´t it? Also keep in mind, if you do not have the digital deluxe edition, you need to buy it for 2000 silber. So Bungie values this dungeon with 20$. Is it worth this much? Absolutly not. I can understand that people do like this dungeon, because it is challenging and challenging stuff is fun. But why is it so challenging? Because you drown in enemies and the boss is heavily time gated. That´s even worse than champion spams, which also happens in the master difficulty.
(In my opinion) this dungeon is the worst of all dungeons. The location and atmosphere is really nothing special. Not overwhelming, not to much to explore. The mechanics are simple and nothing we haven´t seen yet, you repeat this in every encounter while you fight more and more enemies. The further you go into the dungeon, it just gets more stressful... When I compare that to the prophecy dungeon (for example), which was part of the season pass, Duality is a big downgrade. But at least the loot is really good.
That´s it for the season, so far.
But now comes a problem I have. You pay 10$ for the seasonal stuff (and season pass) But what kind of seasonal stuff do you get? The seasonal activity is free to play and the dungeon costs extra. So for the 10 bucks you get the seasonal quest, which is done in 10 minutes/ per week. That´s not much. I really hope there comes more. It needs to.
[b]So this season is wrapped up, let´s speak about the seasonal systeme. [/b]
It sucks. The seasonal stories are good! But they are chopped up in tiny pieces and the story chopped up in tiny pieces is bad. Also I need to do the seasonal activity once again every week, which I have already done so often, that I want to (...) myself... That´s a downer, every week.
[b]weapon crafting[/b]
the possibility of weapon crafting is cool, but what is not cool? The amound of grind needed for that. Needing deepsight weapons, fine. 5 times? okay. 0.000001% chance of a deepsight weapon to drop? And then it´s not the one you need/the one you already finished? To hell with weapon crafting. Don´t need it then.
[b]Iron Banner and PvP in general[/b]
Iron Banner was just a big yikes with many major bugs. Spark dissapearing , spark landing outside the map, repeating resetts over and over again... And on top of that comes the state of PvP. Which I won´t discuss, because I haven´t played to much PvP this season. But I can tell; PvP lost its enjoyability somewhere after beyond light launch. PvP Season 11 was so fun! Woke up in the morning, started matchmaking, fell to bed heavily tired at late night. No regretts, because I had fun. Now I play 3 matches... and don´t touch PvP again for this week. No regretts, because it´s not fun.
Actually I wanted to write more, but I´m running out of time. Thanks for reading, just wanted to share my words. What are your thoughts?
