im really hoping the story behind the strike will be fleshed out in the story missions leading up to it. the only reason we were thrown into right now is obviously for the beta purposes. like how we chased malock around for a few missions before we finally faced off against him in the strike. we had to do the missions first before we could even unlock the strike to play. also every strike in d1 began with an opening monologue by one of the NPCs. maybe the beta just doesnt have it but the full release will. but i agree though the way it is now in the beta its just all flash and no substance and seemed to get boring pretty quick.
