Fuck the DH
Should I buy just this DLC or the Season Pass for $15 more? For context, I like Destiny; I'm just very cheap and bought the game at $20 and DLC never goes on sale.

Early impressions are that Heroic Strikes are unlocked finally and you just aren't grouped into people going to CoO maps? Because that's kind of the dividing point for me. The Colony is neat but not worth $15USD, but if they make Heroic Strikes playlist into a Both DLCs Required kind of thing I'll sigh and begrudgingly pay more.

Roman
Aug 8, 2002

You don't need Osiris to play Warmind. If you don't get Osiris you won't be able to play some strikes, you'll miss out on a weekly milestone when Mercury comes up, and won't be able to play Osiris multi maps in Private Matches.

With only buying Warmind you'll still get the new level cap and light level.

Craptacular!
Jul 9, 2001

Fuck the DH
I await actual verification on the heroic strikes part from someone who bought Warmind without Osiris, though. Because as things are with no DLC at all, you are locked out of the heroic strikes playlists including the strikes that shipped with the base game. This was presumably because they got harder than the base game's power level when DLC1 shipped, but the result is I've spent months doing boring cakewalk strikes and wishing I could play harder mode but unable to unless I spend :20bux:

It wouldn't surprise me if Bungie went 'oh, you need BOTH packs to use this playlist, because we can't be bothered to fragment players/matchmaking'. Maybe they haven't, but dumber things have happened in the past.

That's always been in the game- if you get 3 of the same blue transmat effect you can turn it in to her for a random purple.

Unless they're Dawning effects, because then you have to deal with the same transmat effect being in two different loot pools because of the weird way they did paid vs earned-in-game rewards so two seemingly identical effects won't stack properly and you can't do this.

Rare sparrows would be new, she used to only have green ones for when you simply must have a certain sparrow body shape for some reason and never got a legendary or exotic drop that fits your needs.
