I’ve been playin as Warlock, and now I realized I wasted a bunch of points on the initial subclass instead of saving them for the Voidwalker and Palpatine subclasses. Am I gonna be shorted out or will I eventually have enough points to upgrade all subclasses? Where should I concentrate my points?

Some of the side missions have upgrade points instead of loot. I'd recommend going down the Devour path of void first, but it doesn't matter much.

Control Volume posted:I'm not going to rambling her like other posts. This is a simple post straight to the point. This DLC CoO is just not worth the $20. This DLC is just a promotion for Micro-transactions (MTX) with Eververse, as all the best DLC CoO and Season 2 rewards are behind the Pay Wall of Eververse. Bungie this is so, so Disappointing and Sad to see my favorite game succumbing to greed and poor decision making on this game. I'm truly baffled to see how far Activision/Bungie have gone implementing this predatory micro-transaction practices, and I feel hopeless at this point and so sad - Destiny, our beloved game has dig its own grave with this DLC and the actions of Bungie of giving lame excuses and doing lazy work on the game (CoO DLC), promoting and practically forcing the player to spend money in micro-transactions to get the rewards. Because it is Clear Now, Destiny 2's Endgame has become an XP Gain/Eververse Endgame. I think it's going really far to call EV "predatory" microtransactions. We've seen real predatory microtransactions this year in Battlefront 2/NFS and Destiny sells you cosmetic crap, much of which people seem to be throwing into a box and forgetting (the majority of shaders and ships). At least for me, EV rewards are mildly interesting at best and I like getting them, but I'm not handwringing over them. I'm much more bothered by them moving some content that had been free to the x-pack (Prestige Raid & NF). It's fine if they want to make Heroic Strikes part of the DLC, but you should never disable content for people, requiring them to buy the x-pack to continue getting what was in the base game.

The Eververse poo poo seems like something that was tacked on to appease the executives demanding a microtransaction money fountain. It barely has anything that affects gameplay in it, and really should just be ignored.

J.A.B.C. posted:Yeah, that sucks. I'd like Osiris to take more a part in the vanguard now that he has more support/spotlight. Have a strike where him and Asher Mir snipe at each other's vex research while you blast away at a vex mind looking to restore Panoptes to the timeline. Or have him chiming in over Ikora Rey, have her show him up and have him react with pride. Something that gives us more to his character and makes him a part of the universe. He gave me the Man o War.  It's okay Osiris, your little cult made the only pulse rifle I love

If you told me pre-big blog post that buying specific gear off vendors would've required Silver or some other EV thing, I would not be surprised given the state of the gaming industry. I'm glad they didn't go down that path.

Then the trip and fall face first over the line of "It's just cosmetics, it's cool" where an experience booster consumable in the "Cash also" shop would result in paying money to get gently caress all due to said experience choke out  So while still infinity superior to anything most of the media outrage has been over regarding micro transaction antics, they dipped their foot in already shark filled water.

it's very good that a full price triple A game has full price DLC with the great majority of new collectible items gated behind purchaseable loot boxes it's like you're getting reamed in the rear end by all the poo poo parts of gaming, at the same time

It's crazy. They've moved all the potential interesting and varied rewards players could get for doing things in the game, onto a kiosk you have to spend real money on to have an appreciable chance at getting one of the hundred or so items you have your eye on. Predatory? Maybe.

I mean, it's close but it's nowhere near the predatory poo poo that's catching on elsewhere. Yes, it's a lootbox and does prey on players wanting cosmetics to play dress up. Sure, it's not P2W and that's a drat good thing but the endgame for many players is making their characters just look right. Thankfully, being able to earn the engrams through gameplay does soften the blow but they're definitely counting on players being impatient or wanting shortcuts. It could be a whole lot worse. It is not. That doesn't make it non-predatory, just less so.

It does encourage you to make 3 characters and grind out 3 levels on them every week for maximum dust/effort spent.

The hunter jester pants are pretty great. The top arcstrider tree already let you punch and dive forever, now all the enemies around you get disoriented so they don't shoot you nearly as much in the process.

How is it that a single Vex goblin can simulate 908 fully sentient personalities but the infinite forest is basically four generic vex platforms with random enemies on them? Couldn't we like slide into VoG, Venus, or some other parts of mercury or something? It feels really week that it's just like... Oop, random rooms. Shoot some vex, open the next one, HEY ITS CABAL! I wouldve been way more happy if they reused assets from other places because then it might actually feel like they're simulating poo poo. Hey, they could maybe even apply modifiers to it like a nightfall or old Heroics to make it more interesting, or something. Don't even get me started on how wrong they got Osiris. Or what the gently caress is up with Panoptes. Vex can't simulate Light.. OOP now panoptes can or something. OOP he's irrelevant and dead.

Also, wasn't the Traveler waking up supposed to be some new factor that gave the Vex the edge they needed to simulate a proper endgame that accounted for Guardians? I might be getting wires crossed now between official stuff and fan theory. Also, it's hilarious that we have to travel to two other planets to find Panoptes. Only the Pyramidion could possibly house the data! Only a Vex mind on Nessus could be used to figure out the code!

This should have been a free patch not paid DLC. The public area on Mercury is laughably tiny which is a real shame because it still looked great. The infinite forest is pretty unimaginative for what its name suggests and why the gently caress are those triangle tunnels so god drat long. The one heroic strike I did was as others have mentioned just the hydra mission from the campaign which is super loving lazy and disappointing. The actual story was pretty bad which I was expecting anyway but it had a few cool setpieces. Osiris just peacing out back into the forest at the end was just hilarious though and I'm sure all the lore nerds are going to flip their poo poo.
