Datto's Closing Thoughts on Season of the Drifter - Is The Annual Pass Working?

  • Season of the Drifter will be closing in a few days, so it's time to assess the past few months. My feedback will not surprise you. In fact, it'll surprise you so little that I'm gonna just recap the entire video here in the description.
    SotD was too focused on Gambit. If you're looking for the short version of this video, that's it. Gambit does not have the mass appeal that other activities in the game do. Forges have mass appeal because they're really easy and provide you a direct line to new random roll weapons. Gambit still has some issues, which would be fine if there were other things in the season to go do. But because the core of the experience is 50% Gambit, if you don't like Gambit, there's no reason to engage with this season. If this is the way content drops are going to continue, they need to either have mass appeal or they should just be sold individually. I'd love to have a season solely based around raiding, but even I know that's not really feasible, nor is it a good idea if you want to sell your game.
    I do think the annual pass or at least seasonal content can work if Bungie is able to keep up the pace that they've been able to push out content, but I'm worried about after Opulence due to the lack of Activision and outside studio support. There have been quite a few things neglected as a result of the annual pass model of content delivery, namely: the core of the game. Destiny is building wide, not tall, lots of experiences and activities with very little depth. Strikes, Nightfalls, PvP, those core activities have lost their relevance in the Destiny world and I'd love to see them make a resurgence.

    Gambit Prime was a big improvement to normal Gambit, but it still needs work.
    Reckoning was miserable to grind so I stopped.

    Zero Hour was amazing.
    Overall, it was okay.

    • @infinitefantasyx
      @infinitefantasyx 5 років тому +3

      Despite the improvements, I don't see Gambit prime attracting those who don't like Gambit to begin with.
      Reckoning wasn't that hard, but I got tired of it even quicker than doing forges. Got a decent spare rations roll and peaced out.
      Pinnacle + Gambit Prime weapons were excellent, kept up with with the quality from Black Armory
      The allegiance quest was a waste of time, Invitations of the nine was pretty good even though I didn't understand the dialogues/cutscenes.
      Revelry was pretty fun in PVE, Not in PVP. The infinite forest was okay for me. Arbalest is bae.
      Zero Hour was amazing. Bungie don't nerf outbreak pls.

    I wanted to ask you since you are so versed in Destiny and the franchise as a whole and I really appreciate your opinions, do you feel like Destiny 2 year 2 caters more towards the “hardcore” with its content in a sense of exclusivity rather than inclusivity?
    My wife and I both play Destiny, but as a disabled gamer I am struggling in areas even though Destiny has been my favorite franchise, its had some rocky impasses with me.

    For this datto, I just saw the seasons as the forge being the season to equip us with weapon, the drifter season to train us and prepare with said weapons, and then finally season of opulence where we truly start using the weapons. I personally had fun during the drifter season even though I didn’t like gambit to much, but then again I am the type that just has fun no matter what I’m doing in destiny. If I had to say one thing, it’s that I wish service revolver originally came at 700 light when you are at 700 light like the rest of my weapons did IE 21% delirium.

    I grinded Reckoner solo for the first month of the season. Prime didn’t feel that much of a drag when you’re grinding a big milestone. Haven’t really gone back to it much since early April as a result. I used the time to grind recluse and mountaintop so wasn’t too bothered about prime being one of the two new things this season. Outbreak came out at the perfect time (pun not intended) to provide something to do for what was going to be a dead month otherwise. Higher hopes for next season though.

I haven't logged in all season because I, like my whole clan and many others, just don't care for Gambit, but we all plan to return with Opulence. I'm still at 650 power from Season of the Forge and tbh, I'm glad I'll be getting Thorn and Outbreak now to help with that power level climb.

Is it worth to start fresh with D2 (and buy forsaken) at this point in its life? Is there a good future for this game? Am I too late to start now?
    Any answers are much appreciated thank you!

    As a mostly solo player, the annual pass as made me pretty frustrated at times- (Namely week 1 Forges, the struggle of solo que in Gambit/Reckoning) but it was an overall enjoyable experience, and I spent more time playing the game throughout the past 2 seasons than I did between content droughts in D1 or pre-Forsaken D2. Overall, I’d say I’m happy with it thus far. I’m excited to see future content. (Quickfang returning, this chalice “crafting” system with runes, and lore, to name a few things.) my main concern is the lack of funding and studio support from High Moon, etc. I feel as though the game will get downscaled dramatically and we’ll see another content drought after SoO. But only time will tell.

Could there have been more? Of course. But this season was a Gambit focus, so you shouldn't have expected much. Overall, still happy with all the content despite not meeting what I wanted.

    I know this comment is way too late but I wanted to say that Ada 1 storyline was completely wrapped up in a perfect bow tie. We learned that Ada 1 was the defender of the black armory and she was rebooted once hence the name Ada 1. That’s pretty much the reason why she doesn’t remember using Izanagis burden to defend the armory. That’s actually interesting.

    As a gambit fiend I enjoyed this season but I have to agree with your points. This season only really worked if you enjoy gambit and as someone who solo carries for the most part, prime makes that’s hard as hell as I often get matched against organized teams while I’m stuck with potoatoes. For invading I’ll usually only snipe unless they’re a smart team in which case I’d play more aggressively and use the hammerhead. I liked the shift away from the Queenbreakers bow however the Hammerheads ttk is kinda whack in gambit. I currently use the Izanagi’s Burden, the Luna or Recluse and the Hammerhead for sweaty bois on my hunter.

  • @drthmonkey42
    @drthmonkey42 5 років тому

    I absolutely agree on Reckoning. It was a randomly match-made activity, that was completely dependent on your fireteam to do everything right at the right time. Then between matches, if one person leaves you're screwed. The payoff for the armor sets were not worth the effort. I have random pieces which I forget to put on more often than not, and they don't change my acumen or opinion of Gambit in the slightest.
    Gambit Prime, on the other hand, I loved. I played enough to reset my infamy twice, and never really had issues with the dreaded power ammo. Some invaders used Hammerhead, yes. One shot from Jotunn taught them the error of their ways. As I'm abysmal at PvP, invading was never my thing, but the creativity by both invaders and defenders seemed iterative. There was no obsession with power ammo from my perspective (unlike Crucible where the ass-hat spamming the rocket launcher makes the rules). The fact that a match-made team with no mics could compete just as well as a dedicated fireteam indicated the simple math involved in cooperation. It's the perfect marriage of PvE and PvP, and is probably a large portion of the reason I'm still playing daily.

  • @stellarino2334
    @stellarino2334 5 років тому

    I agree with the heavy ammo problem in both Gambit and Gambit Prime. It spawns a bit too frequently which just melts the Primeval and envoys (as supposed to). But when it spawns so much that all you or the enemy team is using is a machine gun to do anything or whatnot, then it starts to become a problem. I think it’s the same in the Crucible. Like Gambit, it spawns WAY too often which leads to the opposing team picking it up which leads to, you guessed it, Wardcliff Coil (yay what a great gun woo hoo). Personally, I wish that Heavy spawns in Gambit and crucible would go back to being like D1 heavy ammo spawns which was once or twice a game. (Maybe more in Gambit, depending on the match.)

    All I want to see for PvP:

    - make supers more killable and super mods

    all im saying is to make all the content available/accessible so everyone feels included, rewarded and most of all respect to our time spent doing these things.

I'd been struggling to find any Titan sets that I actually like during Year 2.
