Greetings everyone in the community!
Bungie, I hope you read this as well.
The reason I'm making this post is to express my personal opinions about Edge of Fate and everything that comes with it.
I would like to hear your (the community) thoughts because I enjoy a variety of perspectives on this matter, so let's respect each other's viewpoints and have an enjoyable interchange. 😉
I will number my thoughts so you can number your responses to each if you like.
1. I've been having a blast with this expansion, including the campaign, the triumphs, and the side quests. The origin story of Ikora was a nice touch, and Lodi is very likeable. I also love using matterspark. It's awesome having a second health bar, blinding, jolting, amplified, and an escape plan all rolled into one. Rolled, get it?
2. I really enjoyed the difficult power grind, because only the most dedicated are first to 450, instead of every casual Explorer in the game reaching max light at the same time.
3. The rewards for reaching max power and guardian rank are tremendously worth it! I absolutely love the new armor stats and bonuses. Build crafting is an absolute dream come true now. I've never felt more powerful, efficient, and enamored with my guardian!
4. The new weapons are phenomenal, and I have a blast farming a variety of PVP and PVE to acquire them (Unless I'm up against sweats, lol.) T5's are beautiful and powerful!
5. The portal, challenges, and rewards track are excellent. The portal is simple, attractive, and full of variety. I look forward to more being added as time progresses.
6. Overall, I think Bungie did amazing with all the updates, as they strive to keep improving the gamer experience. I've never had so much fun or been so hooked to D2 as I am this season.
7. My only criticism is that many people don't have as much time to grind for the best loot as I have. Perhaps you should consider making the grind less stressful and more rewarding for casuals.
8. Finally, I'm not blind to Bungie's mistakes, manipulations, devious marketing tactics, greed, corruption, and victimizing their consumers. I've shared all my anger and rage towards these issues countless times on forums. Today, I just wanted to give credit where it is due. To all the developers who put their heart and soul into the gamer experience, I give a big warm thank you! 🤗

I thought the campaign was pretty cool at the time I played it, but I only [i]really liked[/i] the last few missions. It’s felt like a too long of a build up to seeing III and the Archon. Lodi is awesome. Absolutely no complaints there. 2. I’m currently just under 320. I’m not a huge fan of the power grind. Historically, I’ve always disliked the power grind. I’m not huge fan of how the bonus drops rotate after every time playing something. Like I can’t just continue to play Control because the bonus drops go away after playing once. 3. Can’t comment too much, only gotten a couple of tier 4’s. Definitely like the tiered loot. Feels like a good chase. Just need to get higher level. It’s good that guardian rank feels like it [i]actually[/i] means something now. I’ve never bothered with it until now. (Cont progress this week because famine I currently disabled😡). 4. + 5. I do like the weapons. And the portal is good, but needs more imo. We have so much content in the game and the portal barely uses any of it. And if it’s not in the portal it’s is not worth playing. I miss the weekly consistency from pre portal for pinnacle drops. 3 vanguards, 3 crucible games, nightfall, etc… There is no weekly lock-out now, but playing the same solo-ops over and over is [u]not[/u] fun. I need more variety in the portal. 6. Updates have been okay, I’m looking forward to the updates in ash and iron. 7. I’ve heard the power grind from 400 is tough. Not looking forward to it. Making it easier would be great (for those that are there lol). My main criticism is the portal stuff I mentioned above.
