They won't give you the game with 3 years of content on day 1, you need to learn.



Around 80 activities, not story missions.

That counts as a whole range of different activities including those story missions.

No one here has said that should be the case. Just that it should be significantly more than the small amount present in D1 at launch - which was one of its main issues. People assumed they would avoid making that mistake again.

Obviously it was never gonna be equal to D1 after 3 years of updates.

If all that's true that's a shame. 5 strikes is pitiful, I wasn't expecting the amount of strikes that's in Destiny 1 at the moment but I sure as hell was expecting more than 5.

Also there's way too much recycled exotics in that list. 2 out of the 3 Hunter helmets were in Destiny 1.

Sigh... I'll still be there next week.

I was honestly hoping for double the strikes. Destiny is an ambitious game with a ridiculously stupid amount of time we fans put into it...it SHOULD launch with a ton of content.

If true, this all makes it very clear why they couldn't allow players to retain their character/gear from Destiny 1 - because they would immediately have access to 2/3 of Destiny 2.

I feel like they are taking the MMO approach of bringing out content and such slowly over the course of a period of time to keep people hooked and playing.

It's not about the amount, but rather the quality, D1 at launch and during year 1 was absolute shit, the worst state possible for the game. Literally any other state of the game is better.

This at least has a full campaign.

And i think people are completely missing the point with the strikes amount and purpose, the reason you grinded strikes and wanted more is not there anymore, you don't need more.

The only exotic missing from that list is the Raid exotic.

We won't know until people have played the patrol mode. That's the biggest change here. If the patrol mode is as significant as we've been led to believe, it'll be better than Destiny 1's launch but if it isn't, it'll be comparable.

That being said, I would've liked 8-10 strikes minimum even if patrol were vastly improved. This is why I'm annoyed they didn't show patrol until about a week ago. It should have been the focus of the beta. Patrol is the game changer here, everything is just more of the same.... Just less of it after a reset.

So it doesn't launch with a Raid (Not really surprising), but this launch content is looking very lack luster for a game of this magnitude.

It SHOULDN'T launch with a raid. There needs to be a decent amount of time for people to be able to max level their characters so they can go into the raid as soon as it drops if they so wish.

People complaining for 5 strikes, 6 if we count the one exclusive to PS clearly did not played D1 at launch. Also, every other aspect of the game has been improved, no need to farm strikes like a maniac when you have patrol activities that can earn you the same kind of loot.

One of them is called "Savathün's Song", that's your "Outbound signal" kind of tease, Savathün's is one of Oryx sisters.

"why did anyone expect one of the main complains to be adressed in the sequel is beyond me!"

Also, no people didn't say they expected 3 years of content at launch.

That number of strikes is pretty disappointing. At least it seems like a lot of the new PvP content is focused on Patrol and that looks great.

The amount of content in TTK is what the game should have launched with.

The number one complaint of D1 launch was that there wasn't enough there. I believe Giant Bomb said it best: "an aggressive lack of content."

Hrm, Is this stuff farmable? I mean if you're level 20/light level 400/whatever the max is in this game and you just need one piece of gear, can you just grind forever to get it or do you have to wait for the raid/other stuff to reset the next week?

Guess I have to echo everyone else- only having 5 strikes is pretty weak.

I'm hoping all the updates to Patrol will maybe make up for it? I guess it depends on what kind of reward we can reap from Adventures and Named enemy drops.

I am gonna guess raid gear will be top tier and weekly locked mainly because it has to give people a reason to keep logging on every week what's the point if you can get it in a day or two? But the other stuff will still bump you up.

A few returning exotics doesn't bother me. I fact I like it. Low number of strikes does bother me.

But then again yeah there's more patrol activities this time.

Well thanks for saving me money bungie

I knew there wasn't going to be much content in the base game. Expansions are going to cost a ton too. I'll come back in a year or so when it's all packaged together

atleast they only gave us 1 mission this time except a whole quarter of the game.

Same. That to me, is the biggest disappointment. Number of strikes or missions doesn't bug me, because chances are they're replayable. Exotics tho? ...
