Cough Cough.......... I love this expansion lmfao The ONLY issue I have is the power grind. 30th anniversary was a cheap cash grab and I stand buy that.

I just stopped playing the game all together. Not worth the time and effort you put in to only one item, just to get only one drop that’s complete trash. This is actually becoming the worse loot shooter I’ve ever played, not to mention they are going to complete wrong direction with the way the game works and how things should synergize with each other. If you took different elements from a multitude of other loot shooters and put them in this one, in terms of gear and weapons. It would be a perfect game. But how gear and loot works in general on this game, is just not even worth the effort put in to getting it. Also yes, to the troll gunning for “then why are you in the forums?". I’m here because I’m on the toilet and bored. Plus it’s better to get insight on the state of a game by reading the forums instead of reinstalling the whole thing and checking. Which, sad to say. The game still sucks.

Pre-orders should be avoided, I used to pre-order virtually all games and dlc’s. But really we should read and look at reviews once these games and dlc’s have dropped before purchase. Bungie do a great job at sugar coating their releases with epic blockbuster trailers to lure us all in like the recent “splicer” trailer, yet when you actually play the season event “you are left feeling- really is that it”! We get fooled, it’s a marketing ploy. So yeah great piece here, do not pre-order witch queen and if you have Stockholm syndrome - please seek advice.

No.

Ah yes the magnificent preorder argument a battle that gamers have been fighting for ever! 😁

I’ll still prolly end up getting it because there are enjoyable parts of the game and story, but yeah, they should either be putting more effort into expansions, or they can not make them cost 40 dollars, or even make it cost 40 dollars with all seasonal content being free, cuz 40 dollars for beyond light was def a ripoff, and witch queen seems to be heading in the same direction. If forsaken was 40 (which was already a bit overpriced), this shit should be 20-25 dollars max, how are you gonna tell me 1 strike, 1 destination, 1 raid (probably the best part of the dlc, now practically irrelevant), no new pvp or gambit maps, only 3 exo challenges (they are ok) (there were 6 ascendant challenges in forsaken though), 3 empire hunts (these are alright as well, but nothin new since we had nightmare hunts a year before), the story was very mediocre, and a new element subclass set, which was the selling point of the dlc. Only 3 of the activities are really relevant now. I don’t care if people are gonna say “well I got 200 hours out of it so 70$ is worth it”, or “if yo-yo don’t like it don’t play it”. That’s literally just grooming this company to keep putting in minimal effort, and you are just oblivious to the fact you are getting robbed because you are settling for far less. A bouncy ball is 20 dollars, you buy it, and say you are content with the purchase because you can bounce the ball and not get bored after an hour, but you should damn well know that the ball should have been only 5 dollars. You are all really just settling for mediocrity here, even though we should be getting more for what we pay. If you can spend this much and be content with mediocrity, then good for you, wish I could be like that. I want my moneys worth of content, not “replay-ability” justification for bungie’s scummy decision of making overpriced dlc because you lot are ok with spending top dollar to bang your head against a wall for 15 months at a time with little changes and effort.
