8 hours is what they said it would take for 10 ranks. there are 100 ranks. so maybe 1 hour a day if that. and there are boosts and bounties to boost that even further. this isn't a hundreds of hours system like fortnite.

destiny being extremely casual friendly is what killed the game in the first place. thank god the grind is back...and its not even that hardcore
That doesn't change the fact that it is still a battle pass lol
This is more or less what they were hinting at when talking about rotating the events out. i'm all for it because, at some point, it becomes impossible to balance and D2 already has far more to do in it than D1 in its entirety.
I suppose that doesn't sound too bad. I'll need to play it to see if I truly enjoy it though, which I will. :-P

Who cares what it is. Its beneficial to the game in every single way
Question for the Destiny players. I really want to get back into Destiny, would now be a good time to buy the Forsaken expansion? Or would it be better to wait?
I think I know the answer but gonna ask anyways to be safe...got the Deluxe Shadowkeep edition pre-ordered, I'm good then right?
It contains everything right? At least for Year 3...

Yep, for everything so far and all content drops for the next year.
Yes, if you have the Digital Deluxe version of Shadowkeep you'll get 4 Season Passes, carrying you through the next year of seasons.
ive been watching from afar as i am still prepared to come back for Destiny 3 but uh..yea...things aint looking so enticing fam
Yup, the digital deluxe version of Shadowkeep includes season passes for the next year. If you play the game even semi-regularly, it's a good price for what you get. Lots of things to do.
Forges, Menagerie, and (to a much lesser extent) Reckoning will always have relevance to the extent that they are a way to get a guaranteed powerful engram in a targeted slot. If you run through all of your other challenges in a week and save those 'till the end, you can target your six lowest slots in order to maximize your LL gain.
Making the base game free...giving non annual pass owner's access to loot they would normally have been locked out of, and giving pass purchasers an additional source of loot...
what could possibly be enticing about that?
Forsaken is pretty fucking good, but come in with the new-new. Besides with new light you'll get to experience some of that content yourself and make a decision if you want to buy forsaken or not
has more to do with how i expect D3 to launch and be sustained at launch, not how they are treating a product they are transitioning into its EOL period.
Perhaps not quite what you mean, but I'm not sure actual crossplay could ever work in a satisfactory manner. Right now on console I have 30-60 seconds of standing around at the start of any group activity, because I have an SSD in my PS4 Pro while other players do not. A PC loads a ton faster than even that, but then after crossplay all PC players would be waiting around for base XB1 to load in to a crucible map every game? It would suck lol.
I didn't even think of that. Well, here's hoping the SSDs in the next set of consoles get all of this fixed.
i mean, i dont expect it this year (or next really) but theyve already stated D2 is basically on EOL status so it probably wont be that long. probably a year after launch like D1

Just got back into Destiny and was about to buy the old annual pass in order to do more managerie runs, and all the other stuff with that, but now I'm wondering if that'd just be a waste of money. Will I be able to do more than one Managerie if I get the Deluxe Shadowkeep expansion or will I need to buy the old annual pass?
Because they compared it in scope and nature to Rise of Iron, which was the EoL update for D1. And in the same interview said "they can't grow the game indefinitely forever." I'm not saying this is the last expansion or addition to D2. I'm simply saying I don't expect another "Forsaken" or TTK type expansion to come to D2, as it is nearing EOL status and I assume them to be working on D3 for launch in say 2021.
The comparison to Rise of Iron is in order to set expectations for the expansion's size, not to signal that the game is in its final stages my dude. If anything the changes are being made to form a strategy for Destiny 2 to be around for years.
I'm really interested in the seasonal progression mechanic. Seems kind of like WoW artifacts but on a smaller scale. I usually stop playing when I feel like I'm not progressing so I'm hoping this lights a new spark for me.
Let me put it this way. I expect destiny 3 in 2 years. Shadowkeep is the big update for 2019. And I'm assuming there will be a "main" fall update for the game in 2020. And then the 3rd game will launch in 2021.

i can tell you read the title and decided to reply without even reading the post
This might clear some stuff up
They only just now got control to do what they want and we are seeing that with the seasons and new light.
i somehow doubt they will even come out with D3 until there is enough people on all the consoles next gen. With no garuntee Sony would do crossplay it wouldn't be worth it to drop it until like 2022 probably at the earliest.

Pfft. On ResetEra? That never happens here. That post was absolutely made in good faith, without a doubt.
"That's why we've added 100 ranks to earn each Season, with Free and Premium track rewards, plus a UX design that's intuitive and familiar if you play other games. Unlike those other games, you'll make progress by earning XP doing the things you're already doing in Destiny—defeating monsters and completing bounties and activities. This is about a new additive layer of predictable rewards for just playing the game."
good that i am not into this game anymore, 100ranks to grind, free and premium awards...yep, that sounds like standar F2P nonsense to me.
the "grind for the grinds sake" turned me off big time from this franchise and now they are doubling down on it. completely unappealing and just made to keep people in their hamster wheel.

I'd normally be annoyed by a battle pass but it seems a lot better than the last three seasons were. Season of the forge felt like paying for basically nothing but a couple drops
I feel like every time they've talked about adding maps leading up to Shadowkeep it's just been "HEY GUYS WIDOWS COURT, REMEMBER WIDOWS COURT"
Everyone gets the top track, the bottom "premium track" is for annual pass holders only.
BTM old for Y2 content (forge, drifter, opulence)

It so funny to me when people like that come into Destiny threads and say why they stopped playing the game and won't come back.
Do they really think anyone cares? I hope not.
This is great for people who have stuck with this game through everything, but I still have yet to see anything that makes me want to come back. I quit after the first two DLCs and seeing that's all the content going free doesn't help since I'm still in for a $70 investment to get caught up.
If the critically acclaimed Forsaken didn't entice you I don't know what would at this stage, with regard you finding a hook with Destiny to get hyped on.
Currently it's $100 to get everything currently out for Destiny, Shadowkeep (the next major expansion) and all the content drops for the next year.
