The new dlc pissed me off, I'm not going to lie. But it's pretty awesome from what I have read. I'm almost at 600 so I should be in very soon.
All the dlc stuff is end game chase too. I like the activities and the nature of the roll out but it’s definitely not friendly to non-daily players and that’s a bit much.
By not being friendly meaning that to just even unlock these activities you need to know some of the ins and outs on how to discover some destiny secrets.
For example. I have a good friend of mine... He’s been playing destiny hardcore since the Crota expansion of the first game. But 4 weeks into forsaken launch he was playing and still didn’t know how to reach the dreaming city. Granted he’s always high as shit but it wasn’t obvious... just a curious item in your inventory. Same applies with black armory stuff. It’s not just gated by power level — it involves a good amount of investment just to unlock.
That’s where I think they made a bit of a mistake. People paid money for the annual pass and I believe they wanted access to more content immediately without having to wait for the roll out or have to put in a lot of work.
All these issues should resolve themselves as time passes. Just put it this way... if you’re not 600 yet... wait. You’re better off — there will be more content the longer you wait anyway... we just got a new forge today afterall.
Personally, being a day one player in these kind of games is the big reward. There’s a much bigger challenge always. And no, months later when newcomers reach milestones in 3 days that took you months doesn’t bother me. They don’t have my experiences or gear. That’s for all these games whether is destiny, monster hunter or anthem.
