After 11 years, this is the first expansion I'm truly disappointed I purchased.
Yes, the others had warts, but they were also Destiny. This is a wart with Destiny mixed in.
At the core it's always been about gunplay and loot. And despite some platforming moments in the past, we've never been forced to platform.
Matter ball is horrible and has an unfinished feeling about it.
Keplar is a miscarriage of stolen assets from the past. I just want to do a nightfall and I can't until I roll around some corridors stolen from Titan in a ball.
Really Bungie?
Did this ever feel right?
I'm still going to login and look at My characters, because it's what I do. But I'm not finishing the campaign.
Thoroughly disappointed.
I want to provide a solution but have none.

Unfortunately, the only solution is to stop giving them your money and take a break from the game for a while. Many of us did that D2Y1 and, lo and behold, they actually fixed their game and produced some good content after that. This year I stopped played after the first batch of seasonal content was atrocious. I haven't played since then and was waiting for this next major expansion to make my decisions. I did not pre-order and nothing from any of their hype rally live streams gave me any confidence this expansion would be any good. Literally everything that they've done to this game to try and improve it sounded awful to me and it appears I was correct. I hopped on to play the first mission to see what it was like and I was disgusted. Anyway, it seems 2/3 of the normal playerbase is already on boat with refusing to play this garbage, based on the posted player numbers. Vote with your wallets people. Walk away from the game. That's your best chance of having them improve things.
