The Awoken of the Reef
The Dreaming City
Marasenna

Those are the big ones, which dropped in Forsaken. There are also bits and pieces on random items from Forsaken, Season of the Lost, and presumably the current one

Wow, I'm actually playing again. Season content is pretty great, I love the aesthetic and the guns, but it may be that I like Space and Dragons?

I'll probably buy up on the Season Pass just so I have all the armor pieces ASAP? :shrug:

The first two Coils I loaded into last night were at the wyvern boss with no revives, so I spectated until the last guy standing soloed him, and then I got kicked to orbit for inactivity (even though I was moving the camera around the last guy, so it wasn't lack of controller input).

You really don't gotta spend money on that, just play the seasonal activities and you'll either get the armor itself or enough Wish Engrams to focus into the armor just fine.

I fuckin hate these goddamn floor spikes. Navigating them successfully does not feel like I’ve accomplished anything, just slowed down and did stupid jumps for no reason.

And I usually don’t mind jump puzzles!

There's one, I think it might be after you finish the first section of plates, where you have to jump from a lower level to a higher level and the arc of your jump takes you over the spike trap and you see it just as you run out of ability to pull your jump backwards so you have that single agonizing second to know what's about to happen.

That's one gonna be getting me all season, I just know it

Something is definitely up with the inactivity detection. I got booted back to orbit for inactivity while in the middle of fishing. Like you, it wasn't due to controller input because i was constantly moving around to pick up fish and casting my line out.

Dawning is definitely my favorite event. No forced mode, just do whatever you want and bake cookies for bright dust.

Plus the new weapon is a Glaive! (Albedo Wing if you want to look it up on foundry) and since it's the snowy Christmas event you know we finally get a third arc one!

There were no Trials of the Nine in Curse of Osiris! You got a (comically lovely) mini-raid like four months after the expac dropped. People were expecting the Infinite Garden to be something like Prison of Elders, and it just ended up being a strike that was a carbon copy of the story mission.

What a time to engage in the content.

Didn't they remove the CoE crucible maps from rotation after a few months because the spawns obviously favored one team over the other?

The Infinite Forest was neither a strike nor an activity. It was literally filler that you had to go through for a few minutes to get to the activity. It was a terrible use of the tech that pretty much forced everyone to get sick of it as fast as possible

When they added a button that let you immediately enter the forest, go as far as you could, and then get rewards and repeat everyone loved it (Haunted Forest/Verdant Forest)

By the players, not Bungie. The marketing made it clear the infinite forest was the simulation engine that sent us to Past Mercury (garden world) and Alternate Present Mercury (tree of probabilities) and Future Mercury (The Up & Up adventure)

I agree the hovering platform section should have been a 90 second portion of the activity rather than 5 minutes, but one thing I'll always wonder is "What did players WANT from a nephalem rift in the d2y1 sandbox"? More copies of the fixed roll guns?
