Where can you acquire Ascendant materials consistently for 28 and below?
Daily mission on level 26 difficulty, public event rewards and and daily pub event package reward, and Normal mode Vault of Glass.
Unless the Daily is Warmind or Wakening, in which case, you can just wait until the next day.
Did you have a stock of Shards though? When the DLC dropped, I had about 300 Shards so that upgrading my new armor was not a problem. Assuming the vendor gear is like the new Crota gear, you need 84 shards to max out four pieces of 31 gear. It's not going to take forever to get that many, but it's still slower now than if you started before the DLC launched. And that gets worse as more DLC is out and fewer and fewer dailies are pulled from the original missions. At some point, the game is probably unplayable unless you have DLC. Although by that point, they probably want you to buy Destiny 2.
I assume they plan on rotating the new DLC maps into the crucible playlists soon, so that will happen eventually. The DLC is also how Bungie can make money off of people buying the game used, since they don't get anything for supporting those players with events.
So you made up a rule in your head and then got mad when Bungie broke that rule?
Again, you're misunderstanding my entire point. It's not about progression. It's about having less things to do in Destiny. You're conflating my argument with a separate issue and addressing it as though they were one and the same, and they are not the same thing. I'm talking about how there are less reasons to continue playing Destiny, and all you're doing is devaluing the worth of Vanguard Strike Playlist, so you could justify the exclusion of less content for non-TDB DLC owners.
Actually, the Vanguard Tiger level 24 strike playlist is still the most reliable way to get Vanguard marks with levels 25-27. You're guaranteed 6 marks for each completion in the Vanguard Tiger strike playlist, and with how damage scaling works in this game, you're more likely to overpower things because rare weapons now have 294 potential damage when maxed with a 276 base starting damage more or less. Rare weapons are also much easier and faster to level than legendary weapons. But again, this is another argument entirely. I'm talking about diminished rewards and disincentives to continue playing the game. You're ignoring my point entirely by conflating it with complaints on progression in this game. Where have I misconstrued my argument that this was a complaint of mine instead of presenting how barebone the reward system is in Destiny?
That's because that person will more likely drop the game than spend additional money on the TDB DLC. You're extrapolating we're even talking about the same time commitments, and where have I given any quantification where you can postulate that? Again, we're talking about entirely different things, and you're misunderstanding my argument completely. We haven't even specifically talked about which levels specifically are more affected by the exclusion of TDB, yet we're talking about progression?
Where have I said that? Again, don't conflate my argument with progression gates in this game. I'm talking about activities to do in Destiny, and how removing rewards in this game is equivalent to removing content in this game, which someone like Deku Tree disagrees because he doesn't consider it content. However, why is the new Vanguard ROC strike playlist considered new content for TDB DLC owners when it features the same rewards as the old Vanguard Tiger strike playlist but with the new DLC maps?
I don't think its fair the amount of content that was in Destiny to begin with.
You act like you beat it once and that's it
