Do the latter so we can see you post about it when it happens.

Looks like the leading raid teams pretty over leveled for a lot of the encounters compared to worlds first Crota, VoG. Encounter wise it's comparable to VoG I'd say but less punishing for being underleveled.

On the flip side, Destiny is actually fun to play and FF14 is all the worst MMO mechanics stuffed into a single game.

I don't think I'd be so salty about RoI if it wasn't the only piece of content after a year and expected to itself last a year.

I know that the backstory is they threw this together in a few months as a stopgap, but as a consumer, I don't give a gently caress what their sob story is, the sparse amount of content in this and the amount that is reused is embarrassing.

Which is good because of how broken leveling is now, it's good that people can just do the first parts easily get loot and possibly get the next parts done.

LOL if this can become a quick 30 minute raid. This really is a much tinier expansion. It's almost on the scale of the dark below.

The middle part looked unique and fun as hell and the beginning and end were pretty typical of the other raids.

Bungie releases an expansion that's 25% cheaper than the previous one and has about 30% less content, I agree that it's laughable

Raid seems short even with all these folks doing it for the first time, figured as much but it seems less obnoxious than KF at least, boss doesn't look as cool as Oryx did though.

Well except for that part where they did put out a few updates in Y2. SRL, crimson doubles, and the April update.

Obviously none of it was a huge expansion giving people 100+ hours of new things to do to but they also didn't charge for any of it.

At this point we have no idea what the plan for Y3 is. We don't even have whiffs of a launch date for Destiny 2, so it's a bit premature to claim that RoI is all we're getting for a year.

Listen, that content was content, but if you wanted PvE it didn't add much (outside of the April update). Personally I like PvP just fine but some people don't.

Bone krew did the first 3rd totally blind and then got through the death Zamboni with a little hint or two before we had to go do real life stuff.

Thoughts:

Again bungie is confusing what is actually obtuseness and lack of direction with mystery and accomplishment when it comes to a few of the raid mechanics, but that's fine. This stuff will easily be deduced and discussed online and then that won't matter.

The actual fights themselves are fun. That's important. Beyond that, you can have some dudes gently caress up and still recover. That's even more important. This isn't a dance it's a fight with a few dance moves.

Hopefully this holds true for the last part.

Got the shotgun in void, which owns bones, and some armor stuff, which is meh. Apparently the secondaries can roll with different elements which is weird and unfortunate given the predominance of void shields for Siva fallen.

Crimson Doubles lasted 2 weeks. SRL lasted 3. It wasn't lasting content. They were brief events.

Allow me to rephrase my statement:

I don't think I'd be so salty about RoI if it wasn't the only "large and lasting" content update after a year and expected to itself last a year.

Are Smoke Bombs a melee move for one of the characters?

Because my Monte Carlo has better hip accuracy and increases Melee Cooldown.

I've made it clear enough that when I have been talking about content, I've been talking about the large content pieces of which, there have now been four since the release of Destiny.

I think it's lovely that in one year, there were three big content releases, then nothing for another year. And after this, likely nothing until this time next year.

Nightstalker is a subclass for Hunter, and it works well with the combo that is quoted.

Yes, hunter nightstalkers have two "grenades." A traditional grenade that is horrible and no one uses, and smoke bombs for their charged melee attack. They slow down enemies and if you select the perk, poisons them for a bit too.
