Really Poor Design Decisions
Bungie, seriously, you had a real opportunity to make a good expansion here, and a lot of the design decisions made were just, awful. Whose brilliant idea was it to have no health regen in the lawless frontier? This makes certain builds and playstyles so much more powerful than others (builds with inherent health regen) and makes other builds not worth even messing with. Also, whose great idea was it to take the most hated part (invading) of the most hated game mode (Gambit) and use that in the new activity? Do you people seriously know nothing about your own game? Nobody wants this! It's stupid! The campaign was incredibly meh and cliche, although I've come to expect that since after Taken King. The factions are cool but the long -blam!- game modes we are forced to play as the only way to level them up are boring AF. Also, timegating the quest line requiring a reset of the priority order the next day was also incredibly stupid. I'm pretty sure this is the first expansion that I've played for only about 1 day and already don't really want to play again - the mechanic of having no health regen completely sucks the fun out of the mode for me.

Nothing more fun than calling in a sparrow and chasing after an invader while you gun him down lol. Invading is fun too, it’s very challenging because you don’t start off with heavy so you gotta really have the skill to wipe the team. It’s a lot harder to invade than you think. Also, 90% of the time, when trying to invade, you will end up doing a 1v1. Ive had times where I didnt even get a single invader. I also want to point out that once you kill an invader 3 times, for the rest of the run, you don’t have to worry about getting invaded again. If the invader gets 3 kills and picks up the motes on top of that then hes basically gone too. There is absolutely no downside to having invaders. As for the rest of the mode with the lack of heals. It adds a bit of a challenge but it’s really not a big deal. There are a ton of those destructible pots scattered all over the map. They contain health and sometimes they contain heavy ammo. Seriously, a little bit of challenge is not the end of the world. Enjoy it for what it is, or don’t? I can think of other things to actually complain about, the new mode is not one of them.
