Hi community, This is not a hate post although the majority of this is negative I Just want to give my feedback on the expansion. Currently sitting at 412 power so got a decent bit of insight on this DLC and just sharing my thoughts and experiences
The Grind: Yeah its pretty bad going from 0-400 is doable since you have a lot of activities that drop higher light gear as well as a lot of time to get there before you get reset back to 200. Problem is your just playing the same Exotic Mission or Lost sector we have had in the game for years so its pretty boring. After 400 is where the real grind begins to increase Light the only thing you can do beside two Conquests which you can only do once a season and Zavala who drops 3 items based of Portal rank is farm portal activities over and over again people are literally farming Solo Ops hundreds of times myself included. I farmed Caldera Solo Ops 47 Times before getting a tier 5 drop to increase my light level because the drop rate is so low its just ludicrous. I don't know if Bungie is planning on implement something in the future to make farming after 400 actually bearable.
Tier 5 Gear: Honestly is not worth it, I have a full set of Tier 5 on my Titan and i'd argue I feel no stronger of than I did with gear I had going into EOF. I have Had around 20 Armour drops at Tier 5 and only One of them has dropped with the Paragon Trait which is what I have on my Ghost, you make something so difficult and low drop chance to get but then you add another roll the dice feature on the stat distribution.
Gear Progression: my biggest gripe with the game in general is how I've gone from light level 10-412 and I don't feel any different in strength in-game i still get fried by any content with set modifiers and light disadvantage and any content that I am above is completely useless to me now and drops nothing of value. That's not to say I want the game to be easy but Bungie needs to find the right balance
Kepler: Mythic difficulty is a joke, the whole community was literally using Broken Iter so that the game felt bearable, now it just feels like I'm shooting marshmallows, its so boring sitting there shooting an enemy for 5 minutes and for him to sneeze on you and send your -blam!- to the shadow realm.
Raids and Dungeons: Why is the normal difficulty putting us at a disadvantage for what's the need? The gear you get from these right now is practically useless as well except for the new raid and no you don't get light level increase from the new raid after 400 either
Old Gear: I hate how artifice gear and Exotics that previously had good rolls have now just become obsolete, these are items we have literally spent years farming Imo they need to implement a system where it gets a tier system and it can be upgraded
Sorry for the long rant, but I've seen lots of people share their thoughts on this DLC and just thought I'd share my experiences and thoughts please vote on the poll and share your thoughts also
Peace out

Depends what you are looking at. The story isn’t bad, the arc ball thing is a horrible idea, the weapons are nice but nothing we don’t actually already have in past weapons for most of them, Bungies launch was the most terrible bug ridden launch they’ve ever had, I deleted my old armor to collect new armor since I am now getting used to it, buts way too many pieces and you have to get different tiers. Same with weapons. I keep some tier 1 weapons over tier 2 because the rolls are better.
