La recompensa, armas mas que todo, me parece muy, muy atractiva, véase Juttum por ejemplo. Por tanto me parece que como primera parte del pase anual esta excelente. Expand

Black Armoury gave us new challenges new gear and a whole load of lore. It improved the game in a way that added extra to the previous Forsaken DLC, however like I said it’s not without its faults.

    Much of the content seems co-op based, now it’s an online game so it makes sense. However, considering a sizeable portion of the community play solo it does fathom the question of Where is our content? As a mainly solo player myself this has been a common problem throughout the destiny lifecycle, I like the addition of matchmaking activities but would prefer if there were activities that were designed for solo play.

    In regards to Black Armoury there are things to do just not all as fun as you think. Take the forges for example good concept just not really worth the grind. Yes, if you have a weapon to unlock then it’s ok I suppose, just don’t expect it to be done the first-time round, those forges are brutal. That leads me to another problem with Black Armoury, the level difficulty was too high at launch and even after gaining good gear and being at a good level the challenge is still hair ripping frustrating.

    Now it’s not all bad, there are some cool new exotics and the return of Last Word was a nice addition but overall the expansion could have done with a little more to give players a worthwhile experience, especially solo players. Black Armoury was good but it could have been better let’s hope that Joker’s Wild lives up to player expectations in a more profound manner.

It had a story thatFor what was advertised: a medium sized content drop that focused more on end game content Black Armory did delivered. It had a story that didn't really feel like it had a impact on the rest of the Destiny world but it was nice context for the activities and featured a good amount of high level content: a new match made activity, new and unique designs for these Premium Weapons as well as a new Raid. Its good. Also if you split the price of the Annual Pass for each content drop, its cost me £10 and for what you get I think that's a good price. Expand

    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.

    I am not even going to call this a DLC, this is, and there is no other term for it, a "payed update".

    I have never seen less work put into
    I am not even going to call this a DLC, this is, and there is no other term for it, a "payed update".

    I have never seen less work put into the anything in my history of gaming that wasn't for free.

    Though I have to say I am legitimately surprised they didn't slap a $20 like they did for CoO, that still doesn't excuse the fact that you have to pay $30 just to get such a lazy piece of content that barely added anything new to the game just in a somewhat different flavor.

    I would say "at least it has matchmaking", but there is the fact that you you can't even select from orbit (which is odd because it puts you into a matchmaking loading screen when you select it) and even then I have seen more than enough matches where one player was left all alone and never got any partners, or was thrown into a match that was ending in a failure.

    This is by far the worst dlc ive every purchased in 15 years of modern gaming.
    Ive been a hardcore destiny gamer, and I still am. But they way they've made this dlc inaccessible and stupidly hard is just beyond me.
    Im not gonna go into details,watch the IGN review if you want details.
    But as a consumer i feel empty towards destiny now. It consumes your time and gives you nothing for it.

    Be aware,dont get this dlc.
