Finished Curse of Osiris.
Man, what the hell happened there? Reviewers weren't lying when they said this was the worse add-on next to House of Wolves. And I liked House of Wolves, even if all it did was add a new social space and the Prison. |

Yeah, wouldn't recommend it.
Fucking strikes are just the campaign mission with different audio clips dubbed in. Same boss and everything. Lazy as fuck. |

I was so hyped for D2 as eventually D1 was a pretty decent game. However I stopped playing it 5 weeks ago and have only gone back the once to play laser tag. That shit was crazy dope. Still hopeful they can sort out all the issues in this game but for the time being I will stick to Fortnite or even GTA |

I remember seeing the ornaments for New Monarch armor and thinking they were really cool.
But to get them I'd have to play Destiny 2. |

New faction rally stuff seems cool. I like the risk/reward system of renown.
https://www.bungie.net/en/Explore/Detail/News/46917 New Monarchy gear looks incredible as usual, so they will probably win again. Hope last seasons armor and ornaments are also available as I missed out on a lot of it. Wish Future War Cult stuff was as cool as it was in destiny 1 |

nevermind, they bungled it yet again.
Previously you could join a different faction for each character on your account. Now you can only join one faction across all characters. That would be shitty by itself, but on top of that, there are exotic weapon catalysts exclusive to each faction. They're doing this to make choosing a faction a "meaningful choice". However most people believe that's bullshit and they're only doing it so people will keep playing through til the September update so they can get all the faction stuff. Personally, I'm not bothered that much by it, but I understand why others are up in arms about it, and I definitely think it was a bad decision on bungie's part. The best way to keep people playing your game is to add meaningful content that they enjoy participating in. Not by forcing them to grind by removing player freedom and choices. I was excited about the upcoming Armor Sets and the possibilities involved, but now I'm not sure I have faith in bungie to deliver on it after this. Anyway, I thought New Monarchy would win again, but since Dead Orbit has the Graviton Lance catalyst, it's definitely going to them. |

It's gotten better. We're playing a lot more. But there's a lot of head pounding things that still makes no sense.

We can at least get that Nightfall done.
But yeah, between Vanilla, Prestige, and the 2 Lairs, you can get around 10 or 11 pieces of powerful gear per week. That's how some people got to 380 within the first couple weeks of Warmind. |

Just bought the Limited Edition with the pass for the 2 expansions, betting on 99% of the hate going on being over unnoticeable, negligible BS. I played the shit out of D1, the game I bought a PS4 for & was a super satisfying gaming experience. caaaaan't waaaaaaiiiiiiiiit

No, a lot of the complaints are extremely valid. There's a reason Bungie is busting their ass basically rebooting the game over time.

What bothers me is that its almost an exact repeat of D1 in terms of "learning from mistakes". Wasnt that one of the points of moving from D1 to D2?

Destiny 1 Year 3 not being basis for vanilla D2 can only be explained (imo) by the all good things added in D1 being from the live team (or B Team) while the main team took their tone deaf ideas into D2 - which had to be rebooted mid-production just like D1.
It's likely the live team and Vicarious Visions will have to save the game somemore. VV had creative and mechanical input in the Warmind dlc. But the main team is likely covering the big Sept dlc. I have little hope they learned anything. |

So, is Warmind worth jumping back into?
Or should I just spend this free time catching up on my backlog? |

I would advise waiting until the Sept expansion. Warmind has some cute lil tricks to inflate the grind you may or may not be cool with.

Sept update is called "Forsaken", definitely involving the Awoken Queen.

$40 just for the basic expansion of Forsaken and up to $80 if you want all the bells and whistles.
Yeah, no thanks. |

Some cool stuff I guess. Can't hide my disappoint in armor sets. Collecting them just to have them is something you can do already. Plenty of resources out there to help you track what you have and what you don't.
All they had to do was literally what every loot grind game does. Get 2 pieces of an armor set, you get an additional legendary level perk. Get the whole set, you get an exotic level perk. That's it. You don't even need that on all the games sets. Just the unique ones you get from tokens, raids, and EP. That would be enough to add a ton of incentive to go get these sets and would make player customization even deeper. But no. Bungie has to bungie. |

I'll likely get back on the grind after the next expansion like Kalyx said. Heard good things about it. Not gonna put in the effort now since I know Bungie will essentially void it with some change to the grind in the next update.
