5 months ago I stood at the threshold of year 2 and thought to myself, "the disappointment end here. TTK will be a masterpiece." Man, was I wrong. Destiny has always had greatness cut out; great gameplay, great art, fantastic classes. But all of that is wasted on insufficient content, half-assed RPG elements, repetitive encounters and empty, uninteresting worlds.
Now, the things that the game got right are slowly being uprooted. The weapons which were once great are becoming increasingly more insignificant and weak. The loot that we looked forward to on a daily basis is now stale and underwhelming. And all we worked towards; what does it mean now? Shit. It means shit.
Throughout year 1, I made it my mission to acquire the following:
-3 gjallarhorns
-3 icebreakers
-3 no lands beyond (cause why not)
-3 fatebringers
-3 black hammers
-3 swordbreakers
-at least one of every other raid weapon
-dry rot 32
-ash factory
-EVERY YEAR 1 EXOTIC
I raided the vault and CE three times a week. I blasted through the nightfall every tuesday. Even when I got some dumb reward, it was still fun. Not only is it far less rewarding now, it is so much less fun.
An expansion is supposed to build on the game, build on the player experience and give them more to do, while leaving the rest of the game in tact. Instead, we paid $40 to have our player experience ripped from our accounts, buried under the rubble, and replaced with something that is but a shell of what it used to be. A fraction of the content. A fraction of the variety. A fraction of the fun.

I ran 200 strikes for my dry rot... Which is now the last of my awesome year 1 gear. Due to insufficient vault space I deleted most of the rest.

Dry rot was bae

Great post. I did the same thing with all my characters with Exotic weapons (to date I still have every Exotic in the game for all weapons and armor for all 3 characters). Each of my characters (3) had each of the following in Y1 at all times: Gally SGA Truth Thunderlord P&T IB Hard Light Vex I feel like there was another Exotic primary I kept on all 3 but can't remember last one if there was one. Also have all Y1 Raid weapons as well and armor - shall not be deleted.
