    Risk/Reward is in the Cosmodrome because the quest came out and took you to the Cosmodrome before the Cosmodrome came back as a patrol zone, so they placed it on the EDZ (the only earth patrol zone at the time). When the quest released it was like a nostalgic throwback to D1. The Cosmodrome came back though so it doesn't make much sense for it to not be there but I figure they probably just never found a real reason to move the node.

  • @disbeliefmatt4939
    @disbeliefmatt4939 Рік тому +101

    I think that Sweat summed it up pretty well. It’s half and half. Free to play is not as bad as people make it out to be, and it is certainly WAY better than it was when I first was a f2p gamer. There’s a lot of content to do (Even some endgame content which is unfortunately locked behind time gates) and unlike the past year or so, Bungie is starting to give new lights direction on what to do next. Is free to play better than buying dlc? No. Are you missing out on a lot of stuff if you don’t pay for content? Yes. However, I truly believe now more than before that you *can* get by in this game as a free to play gamer and still have a good time, but you need friends, which paying for stuff in the game won’t really help you in that department.

      It's not fun enough to warrant playing f2p and the community (at least on console) is full of impatient douchebags who don't help new players understand mechanics or anything else. The only situation it's a viable game to play is if you have friends on it at all times. Otherwise you're just wasting your own time for fun.

      Free to play is still so much worse than it used to be before the content vault though. you had a full campaign to do, and multiple activities, but now you just have a few small activities from various dlcs and the game asking you to spend money every 3 minutes.
      Edit: just remembered the game wasn't free to play at the time, but I'd still rather pay money for a game with actual content than play a game labeled as "free to play" that bombards you with dlc advertisements.

    I rejoined on PC after not playing since 2020. I had bought Beyond Light and Game Pass on XBOX had given me a couple other expansions. Now since I got on PC I'd have to buy over $120 of DLC to get all the content back that I used to play. Then there's Eververse, then there's other seasons you can buy, AND a battle pass! And Synthweave, to put some salt in the wound. And I actually felt my blood pressure rise when I saw that a single dungeon key is $20... but wait, you could just buy the *$100* edition of Lightfall where it's included :^)
    This has to be the most expensive game in existence, in terms of how much you need to pay to basically have any access to the story or endgame. And before the endgame, there is very little story and no direction. So once you finally figure out the game, you have to pay money to do anything else. Playing F2P now feels like I'm locked out of half the game.
    The least they could do is let people play through just the story missions of the DLCs. The game just dumps you into Lightfall without telling you anything, which is pretty hilarious until you try to get your friends into the game and they lose interest immediately.

    in mmo's i am mostly lone wolf, i only group up if i am in certain tough quest area and there are others around, i don't w8 to build a group, and end game is mostly raids and dungeons only that's when i quit until DLC comes out with new story
    but new cause of EU mandates for banks in EU i can no longer use my master card to buy anything online (so if its not on DVD or if psychical shop doesn't sell game code i can't buy), they made using card more complicated and i would say less secure, a security measure that actually makes u more vulnerable, some gov idiots think adding more personal data what u half to fill to verify makes it more secure, few options mobile id and ID card (but first i would need to activate banks online account what also is pain, cause of disability it pain so i refuse to make it, i had it and closed it when i lost access to it, i need old simple sys that still existed in 2021), well home PC's are not safe enough, corps can afford it sins they have better syber security, and mobile are even easier to hack, but over all it all just makes easier to steal from u, that makes it 2issues disability and that is not really safe, i don't have much to steal so ppl with hacking skill wouldn't bother me, not worth the risk but still

    I kevwe really had a problem with the early game in fact I had a good exp overall I started during beyond lights final season (the one right before the 30th anniversary , I think season of the lost , yeah j got kinda thrown in but it felt like more mysteries to me, not like I was confused or anything since they do a pretty good job regardless of what expansion you started of not making the main plot to complicated, yeah the lore and details could be complicated but what is being presented to you makes sense, like I got that eramis was bad and we were working w variks who use to be a enemy and now they had this new darkness power and we got it top, I'll admit tboub I had no idea what was happening in the seasonal content something about ley lines and ascendant planes but it was fun

    Ur friends were all endgame players, tell me how would a new light get people together to do master?
    It's just that I doubt someone would try to even have a new light in their fireteam that is under light for master, sometimes even for normal.
    The interesting thing is that mostly if someone fails too much, there are players that take it to heart and instantly leave because they think ur bad or just a noob to even attempt it as a new light.

    This is my favorite game right now. Admittingly, I never recommend people to play this game and for NONE of the reasons I've learned from this video. I just tell people that the grinding and acquisition of gear that helps you stay competitive to the game is a struggle but Sweat laid out a good foundational lineup of weapons that a new player can use and get far in using in PVE.
    The problem comes with how many paywalls there are, how frequent they seem to pop up, and just how picky Bungie is with locking people out of content. "You can play the strike in the strike playlist but you can't play it in the nightfall playlist," is crazy.

    Put 1400 hours in Destiny 1, and played Destiny 2 when it first came out. Some work obligations took me out of town for a few weeks and I never came back to the game, and I had wondered why I never felt compelled to return. I've kept up with nearly nothing about this game other than hearing that it was a "microtransaction shithole" now.
    Needless to say, only a few weeks ago I started developing this severe nostalgia to revisit that Destiny 1 experience I remember so vividly. I turn on this game to find the most dispicable display of capitalism I have ever witnessed. Holy shit, its like not one single person took a step back and realized the complete lack of ethical practice in this game's market. I am fucking glad I never really returned.

      Yeah I got this game when it first came out when it wasn’t free, you didn’t need dlc to have fun, but the dlc was worth it. And yes your talking about the Edz, I loved going there and I used to farm engrams there. Also the old home base wasn’t at the tower or I forgot what it was it was called. It was like in a farm area. I miss when the game was like that. You were able to figure out where to go also. Every game that becomes free isn’t even really free anymore you need to buy every dlc in this game in order to unlock the full game. The problem is the put out half ass dlc quests that give good weapons u can complete within a week and battle pass made it even worse considering you can’t even certain stuff or do certain things
