what were you watching dude

The one where they go into maintenence mode with 3 instead of 4 seasons a year. No post final shape expansion. No new darkness subclass. Nothing there was aspirational or unique. This was the absolute loving bare minimum.

Nothing here represents "responding to criticism" like Joe brought up.

titan players have been bitching for years about how our supers are all roaming melee or extremely niche. arsenal is not that. there are many other things i could point out but that's one off of the top of my head

I want you to remember this moment. When "Episodes" are just longer seasons, I want you to apologize to me.

Nothing about this showcase was a response to criticism that has been lobbied at the game.

it is my faint hope they are hiding additional supers for the other subclasses to be released with each season.

I'm glad it's not a roaming super, but its quite Hammer of Sol, so lets hope it has a niche.

However, that whole showcase was desperate, failing to get the third darkness subclass in there, scrambling to keep seasonal content going until Destiny 3, inside the Traveller and the plotline seems muddied as hell. It's grim stuff, Destiny had a great scifi epic in its backstory and this sixth string team is going to poo poo the bed on the final stretch and taint the whole franchise. Witch Queen was legitimately great, what the hell has been allowed to happen.

I understand people are really excited for the fun new content. The Pale Heart looks genuinely fun. But let's be real. This is just going to be the seasonal model we have now with a little more time on it. And when I'm right about that and people complain about it, I'm going to feel pretty vindicated. Admittedly this is better than what we have now.

There was a lot of criticism to not just seasonal model but pricing, etc. Joe implied there was more information on that in his twitter video. I'm not seeing anything even in this post show that responds to any criticism that has been bouncing around.

I don't really care about the episodes, it's just neat that they're self-contained mini stories instead of holding patterns like right now. I'm not really going to buy them though - Final Shape's the end of the line as far as I'm concerned.

It's still going to take three hours when I try because someone will gently caress up and shoot the Witness in the "you instantly wipe" spot every single time or whatever

They're literally talking about how the seasonal model was too repetitive and hit its limit and how episodes are going to be different, took literally ten minutes for that dumbass to get proven wrong.

Episode 1: The Drifter steals the Veil for some dumbassed scheme that turns about to be an aborted Gambit 2 attempt
Episode 2: Everyone in The Last City remembers that city and nation building is really hard and the Second City/Third City If You Count Neomuna hits hard times. The city council can't decide what to name the city or anything else and the Third City/Fourth City starts getting lovely about being called Third.
Episode 3: Someone remembers the Awoken exist in another universe and go check in on that
Episode 4: Is the Moon still hosed? Probably.

Who knows, maybe they finally learned their lesson and the third darkness class is a surprise unlock after the raid gets completed and doesn't just take up half of the campaign's screentime.
I think the hype-meter isn't quite on the level that it was with the Lightfall reveal, but that might also be a good thing, considering how that worked out.

Nah, regardless of how they utilize it in the campaign, for all the work that a new subclass takes, you HAVE to put that poo poo front and center as part of the marketing. Strand is literally the first thing you see on the Lightfall cover (maybe the second thing if you're drawn to the Witness' big goofy face). It's all over the trailer, it's all over the cover, it's "BUY THIS EXPANSION TO PLAY WITH THIS NEW THING". The thing in that slot today was the three new supers.

Who knows, maybe Red Subclass is part of episodes, maybe it never existed at all.
