I've recently been really split about how to feel about Beyond Light. I was done being hyped Destiny, especially after Shadowkeep. But after the ViDoc and all the information that has come out, I'm a little excited (mostly cause I'm a lore and story nerd for Destiny). But now, I've regressed back to being worried for a number of reasons.
Some things we have learned in the past weeks and months is that the expansion will remove a lot of Destiny 2's current content, but will not replace it all in Beyond Light. That means Bungie is removing more content than they can give. To be fair, not many of these activities will be missed. However...
Beyond Light will not be larger than Forsaken. That is coming from Luke Smith. Not to mention that, in the trailer for Beyond Light, if you look at the map for the returning Cosmodrome, its not even the full map from D1 if I saw it correctly. That on top of all our gear getting sunset, which will remove so many good armor sets and weapons for not much in return. A lot of the bigger things like transmog, aren't even coming in Beyond Light. Basically, this is just looking like a far worse version of Destiny 3.
Mind you, this expansion is the price of Forsaken. And unlike Shadowkeep, which gave you the season for free just for buying it, you have to buy the season with Beyond Light this time.
I understand that coronavirus messed up a lot of things, but I'm not sure if that can excuse the terrible deal with this expansion.
Bungie says they are building Destiny's future now, but how long do we have to wait for that, and how much money do they want to do it? I don't want to buy everything up to Lightfall just for the game to be what it is now. At this point, Destiny has become a investment for a lot of players, with little pay off.
Worse case scenario, Beyond Light will only hurt Destiny further, and I will be skipping every season until Witch Queen if that's the case (might even skip that if its garbage as well). I'm already piss off about sunsetting.
