It's called "Season of the Drifter" because it makes the playerbase drift away

EDIT: I'm laughing at all the screaming pissbabies in the comments. "YOU JUST ARENT GOOD AT GAMBIT!!!!!!!!" And I don't care to GET good at it because it's a boring ass mode that nobody plays properly. "JUST GO PLAY OTHER GAMES!!!!!!" Why should I have to? I bought Destiny 2 because they promised it would expand on and take feedback on Destiny 1 into consideration during development and I loved Destiny 1. Why should I say "lmao okay bungie have my money for free and don't give me the game you sold to me, it's okay"? I want Destiny 2 to be the best it can be and it objectively is not. "IT TAKES TIME TO DEVELOP NEW CONTENT AND THE ANNUAL PASS WAS UNDER ACTIVISION!!!!!" And they could have released a community announcement stating that they will release what was already done under Activision because it's already been paid for but there will be a big new update that will be essentially a new expansion coming later on. Instead, with everybody watching and waiting to see what would happen, they release more Gambit and go back to radio silence as usual. You kids are junkies. You're addicted to Destiny's grind because you've already put so much time in to it that you can't bare to admit you weren't having fun, and so you're letting Bungie continue to exploit you for more cash instead of doing what sane people would do and demand to be treated like an actual customer instead of a crack whore to a pimp. Look around, the community is in uproar, even with your vote bombing any negative threads like mine, they still come out with hundreds if not thousands of up votes because the community is sick of this shit. We want things to improve, and if you want to continue being spoonfed garbage every few months, you're part of the problem. Instead of letting Bungie step all over you, imagine how much fun you'd be having if every update was a Taken King or a Rise of Iron or vanilla Forsaken. That's what Destiny 1 was, not this "annual pass" shit. And if Bungie isn't going to make it clear they intend to change for the better, they have not once given us any reason to give them the benefit of the doubt. So go ahead, keep screaming and whining at me for saying what you think deep down but are too addicted to admit it. I paid for the pass, I'll play it off and on until I feel like I did enough with it to not feel like I got completely scammed, and then if Bungie doesn't end the year on a high note I'll abandon it to the trash that deserves it. ------------------------------------------ What the actual F*ck were you thinking, Bungie? No. Seriously. What the actual F*CK??? This is it? This is your triumphant post-Activision update? This is what you have to show everybody who has ever given you the benefit of the doubt and believed it was Activision's greed that made Destiny 2 such a slogfest of pointless tasks and meandering chores as opposed to feeling like we're participating in an actual world with stuff going on in it? Gambit. Yet another re-hashed exotic from D1. And a horde mode. That you have to play gambit to access. How about instead of wasting your development time and budget on match-based modes NOBODY asked for, continuously adding more and more versions of those modes NOBODY asked for, and then forcing people who don't want to do them to play them for quests and exotics, you actually work on providing us with new zones to explore, new enemies to fight, a new threat to fight against, and then focus on the modes you ALREADY HAVE and balance them, improve them, make them BETTER so people actually don't mind playing them for quests every now and then? Forsaken was such a promising start. New big threat, new zone, new story, new enemies...and then it crashed and burned the moment you hit endgame, and instead of working on fixing that and expanding on the huge foundation you just laid for yourselves you decided "you know what would be great? If we ignored EVERYTHING we just did and made people play gambit more." What the f*ck is wrong with you people? This isn't the company that made Halo, this isn't the company that made Taken King and Rise of Iron. This is a company that doesn't know what the hell to do with itself, a company that spent too much time under Activision's thumb and ended up thinking like their executives instead of game developers. You people are an indie studio with legions of people ready to throw money at you for something, ANYTHING worth playing. The sky is the limit for you guys...and you make more gambit. Bungie, you need to make changes and you need to make them fast. From what I can tell you are fast losing the good will you garnered by leaving Activision and once that's gone you'll have nothing left. I love Destiny, but the game you currently have available to play is objectively not Destiny. It has the same name and setting, but it is not Destiny. Whatever is at the end of this "annual pass" (stop using that -blam!-ing term, you shouldn't be making "annual passes", you should be making expansions) better be incredible. It better introduce a new zone, with new enemies, an engaging story, a slew of balance changes and QoL improvements, content that builds on the foundations Forsaken left, a solid end game loop that people want to keep coming back to instead of endlessly grinding piece by piece to hit max power level only for there to be nothing to do with it, because that's not an end game. Because if not, you won't have a playerbase anymore. You'll have a few die-hard fanatics who are so brainwashed by your grind machine that they'll do anything and say anything to protect their precious addiction, a game that people won't even be able to talk about the good times without feeling a taste of bile in their mouth, and a looming bankruptcy filing. But hey...at least you got people to play more gambit, right?

  • I’m really confused by this post. Spend more time developing new enemies and places to explore... didn’t Bungie EXPLICITLY say that Annual Pass expansions were going to be much smaller, with little to no new areas or enemies? The content is mostly endgame grind, right? So an endgame version of Gambit and Gambit balances - which people have asked for for a while, despite what you seem to think? - paired with a hoard mode - which people have been asking for FOR A LONG TIME BTW - seems pretty good to me, especially just at the first week of launch? I’m just kinda confused at what the complaint here is. Bungie gave what they promised: small content updates and more endgame grind, plus some new content. If you don’t like Gambit, well and fine, but stop acting like the company is burning to the ground because you can’t bank your motes.

    • REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I KNOW THIS WAS ALREADY PLANNED AND PRACTICALLY FINISHED MONTHS AGO, BUT DEVELOP AN EXPANSION THAT TAKES 1 YEAR TO COMPLETE IN 2 MONTHS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE They announced this DLC months ago. You should have known it was going to be gambit centered. You don’t have to play this non stop. Wait till next season if you like the game but hate gambit. Or why not go for the crucible pinnacle weapon? This is an ENDGAME dlc. This is not rise of iron 2. This is s t r e t c h e d rise of iron. Like, we got a raid, we got a new gamemode, we are getting more story (lore, cutscenes, etc.), we have gotten new activities, and we’ve gotten plenty of new weapons. With this general format in mind, you literally have to wait for new stuff. If you don’t like the new stuff, wait some more. Jump in Tuesday to get the thorn, then just play apex legends or something until the spring event. Since this was set in stone, they can’t change it. Hopefully in September we get a Rise of iron 2, but for now, we’ve got to wait. P.S. complaining about a gambit DLC does not mean disgrace the whole game. It means wait for season of the Oracle. Again, the style of content releasing is conducive to jumping in and out at the start or end of seasons. You should quit for now, but I hope to see you come back either sometime soon or in penumbra.

        • We get it, you don't like it... Guess what, I do. I think it is great. Gambit Prime is fun, the Reckoning is crazy. So far, this has been the shot in the arm this game needed (IMHO).

            • Frustration is strong with this one. However I will take a stand against this post mostly because it's an angry rant nothing more. The Annual Pass delivers what it promised. and we all knew what we were buying in the preview. Season of the forge, Season of the Drifter and season of the [Redacted] now enlightened as Season of Opulence. Sure some clouds were up there but we mostly knew what we were in for. What did you expect season of the drifter to hold except more info on the man and more Gambit? I dont like the mode either but I hardly entitle myself so high I would go on a rant about it. This roadmap and pass was still done under activision and sold under activision which means they have to follow the roadmap they made. No real difference will be seen until this pass runs it's course. There is story in this season which is a relief and it actually continues the story that we have been waiting for instead of the BA story that while it was touching if you got all the lorebooks and found out what ada-1 has been through. was still beyond most peoples interest and reach. Lorebooks are nice as a bonus snack. Not as your main source of story. But still it wasnt all that bad that I would rant about it. Sure Season of the Drifter should have had more at launch. But I'm willing to wait and see what it has to offer. Might aswell i paid for it. Got nothing to lose if I just sit tight and experience it. I get it that like I, you care alot for destiny. It's a good franchise I still dont approve making sequels to online lootshooters because it doesnt make sense. But D1 is still fondly in my memory and I really want D2 to surpass D1. Unrealistic dream I know. But going in angry rants like these dont really solve the problems. Bungie says they listen. Even if we know that they actually dont, thats all we can count on for. And if you make an angry rant do you think they will read it? Obviously angry rant filled with swearing and namecalling is not going to keep anyone interested in your feedback.

            • Damn, some of you people honestly can't think hard about something for more than a few seconds, and all your, "WHA, this game sucks! WAH this DLC sucks!, WHA why all the nerfs?" Just goes to show your, not ignorance, but stupidity. Like, it's pretty obvious that the haters seem to think that Bungie has a unicorn that shits out fully developed/tested content on a monthly basis, like no. It takes time to plan out and develop this shit, really you guys just sound like impatient children. On top of all that this Season pass was planned out while BUNGIE was still under ACTIVISION. I highly doubt that bungie was going to throw all this content they've made away just because of that split. Sure they could've just said -blam!- it and redo all this shit but then you guys would've whined even more about how there's a content drought. Honestly there's no pleasing you people, you demand nerfs and you get them, then you complain about the nerfs, like, wtf? LOL

              • Yes, they split out with activision but the annual pass was anounced before the split and bungie said that they will do the things they announced in annual pass. Besides, they said the name of this season months ago, so you already had to be in mind that this season is something related with gambit. Now, please, if you not like gambit just don't play it. Go play another game and come back later.

                    The fact that there are 279 upvotes means the players haven’t drifted away. They’re still here.

                    Destiny isnt its own game anymore. It’s like the Walmart of games. It’s a game with all kinds of games in it with no focus on anything. And they are just filling the shelf’s with more random games at a low cost as possible (minimal dev hours) and sell as many copies as possible with no warranty. The game is so lost that that I don’t think we ever see any story actually finish. As you said, Forsaken was a light in the tunnel and I looked forward to continue to on that story with the curse and savathun. But no we got 4 new blind wells I’m Black armory and another escalation protocol in season of the drifter. Seems like the younger gamers like repetitiveness just like my 2 year old. Seeing Battle Royale I’m all kind of forms are dominating the scene. Bungie however they have gone total horde mode. Just wait, there will come a horde-mode-gambit-Battle Royale as a next step.

                    • Do I like the new gambit game mode though sometimes I wonder if my teammates even play pve half the time. But I really would like factions back and some more vendor resets maybe bring back the planetary armies with random rolls and such? Shit even put bonuses on those increased rewards on activities of that armor set on that planet.
