I love Destiny 2, I do. The chase for exotics, playing Gambit with clan mates, finding hidden secrets. All that is so much fun when you areI love Destiny 2, I do. The chase for exotics, playing Gambit with clan mates, finding hidden secrets. All that is so much fun when you are with a friend or a few clan mates. Alone? Not so much. Black armory has failed to keep me and my clan mates entertained. Adding 4 forges (2 of which had tedious boring, timegates tasks to do that had seemingly nothing to do with the forge) and 5 exotics (1 only being available in a raid which sucks because I hate raids) and 6 unique weapons and reskins of previous destiny weapons with rerolls attatched and character specific armor and that's it.
Bungie literally took $40 from everyone's and then with the first part of the 3 part DLC season pass, gave us practically nothing. No new planets, no no sections of old planets, no matchmaking on escalation protocol or blind well. They literally added almost nothing but took all our money.
Bungie is trying the Fortnite model of sprinkling small items in weekly during each season. The difference? It works on fortnite because every game has a different outcome. Destiny? The same out come. Grind grind grind, win, wait a week, grind grind grind, win, wait a week grind grind oh hey a new exotic was released, win. Fortnite adds new spots on the map and new weapons weekly to keep things fresh and interesting. Bungie? They added 1 need gun 1 week which you had to do tedious crap to unlock. Then you had to wait a week for another new gun to tediously unlock then wait another week for another new gun and this time an exotic also. All this while still playing in the same spots as prior to black armory and doing the same missions you did prior to black armory. They just added guns, and not a whole lot of them that are unique and fun. I literally use 3 of them (hammerhead, tartars gaze and blast furnace) and I have 4 of the 5 new exotic weapons ( not the anarchy as that's raid exclusive and I hate raids) and only use the Jotunn here or there.
My clan mates? They all stopped playing. Only me and 2 others unlocked all 4 forges. The rest stopped at forge 2 or 3 because they got bored of it. We used to play this game 6-10 hours a day on the weekend and now I'm the only one left playing. No one wants to play because there is nothing in this DLC that makes them want to put any effort in to the game. It's quite sad to see.
In terms of all destiny 2 expansions (COO, Warmind, Forsaken) this one (black armory) is at the bottom of the list. It added almost nothing Tom the game but some forges and a couple guns and that was it. I hate to say I think but I wasted $40 ($13 if you break it down amongst the 3 DLCs included in the season pass). If this expansion was $4 then I don't be ok with it but it's not worth $13.… Expand
