Now that guardians have to directly pay for this content too, how exactly is there any justification whatsoever for keeping the Eververse around? As it currently stands: there isn’t. The Eververse now exists for the sole purpose of extracting extra money from eager players. This isn’t a free to play game like Fortnite. It’s a $60 premium AAA experience game. That price goes up to ~$170 for those who bought Destiny 2, its individual expansions, and who will buy both the $40 Forsaken and Bungie’s $30 Annual Pass. No matter how one slices it, that same old scumminess is still very present.As a fan of Halo-era Bungie and of Destiny in general, it sucks having to point this out now that Bungie has finally shown some signs of passion for Destiny. Forsaken has all the hallmarks of a product that’s had some real love and care put into it, and the team behind it deserves all the praise and kudos that they’re currently enjoying for it. If it manages to meet the sky-high expectations this past week’s reveal has no doubt inspired in the Destiny community, Critical Hits Guide then they’ll deserve even more. Forsaken and it’s team aren’t the issue here, but rather Destiny in general and specifically Bungie’s incessant need to squeeze its player base for all they’re worth. It can be done better. It is being done better by several others. So what exactly is Bungie’s excuse for treating their fans like a bunch of simpletons with bottomless wallets? Do they even think they need one? Hopefully they’re not that far-gone, but since they’ve been employing these same practices for almost three years now and are now escalating even further, refuting such an impression is difficult to say the least.   Warden's Law was the first iteration of the Heavy Burst archetype Hand Cannons, and is one of the best Hand Cannons in PvE. The Heavy Burst archetype is a super powerful weapon type that dominates at close to mid-ranges. The weapon feels almost like a Precision Frame Submachine Gun, but if it were focused exclusively on single-target damage. This allows the weapon to really dish out damage to smaller targets, making it feel like a Submamachine gun even in difficulties where actual Submachine guns strug   To earn the Exotic Traveler’s Chosen Sidearm, players will need to complete the Exodus questline. This questline consists of two smaller questlines, Exodus: Preparation and Exodus: Evacuation. While Exodus: Preparation has been available since July 7, Exodus: Evacuation was just made available recently, and players have been eager to get a head start on how to complete it. The player will need to complete many different quests on different planets in order to complete the Exodus questline and take home the new weapon. The planets that the player will be visiting are fated to be removed, so these quests give players the opportunity to say farewell and take out enemies here before it’s too l   There has been some speculation about the details of Exodus: Evacuation. As it wasn’t available until recently, fans have datamined information to get a general understanding of the quest and what tasks will need to be completed. Now, players have been able to experience the quest first-hand. It focuses on the same four planets. Players will have to complete four quests for each of the leaders on the planets. They won’t visit the planets in the same order they hade before. Players will have to speak to Commander Zavala again to access this qu   This fits well into Solar subclass builds that may build upon that key word. This weapon being craftable also means that players can choose what roll they want, so long as they grind long enough for the weapon its   Destiny 2 _ is nearing the end of its Season of Arrivals . Due to delays with _Destiny 2: Beyond Light , Season of Arrivals has lasted longer than intended. Players can complete major questlines involved with the season, collect new weapons, and try their hardest to reach Season of Arrival’s new level cap before it changes again. Destiny 2 ’s developers prefer to release content at different points throughout a season to keep players interested and to give them new tasks and challenges to complete every week. With every season there are new weapons to collect as well, and players will receive a new weapon for every step they complete in this questlLet’s not mince words here, the Destiny community was in this exact situation three years ago in the months leading up the release of The Taken King. It was to be sold for a price of $40 and required the installation of all previous DLC, even though House of Wolves did not require the Dark Below. Players at the time were outraged at both the price tag and the need to purchase a DLC that was seemingly only required because Bungie said so. One would think the developer would learn a lesson from this, and they did; it was just the wrong one. We are now approaching the second year of Destiny 2 and Bungie is showing us exactly what they’ve learned: that they can get away with it. Curse of Osiris is almost universally panned as being unworthy of players’ time and money. It isn’t required to play Warmind, offers hardly any mechanical changes and yet Bungie, without offering any explanation, says it will be required for Forsaken all the same. This would be bad enough by itself, but Bungie isn’t content to stop there; no, they’ve decided that they need to milk their players even more than they already are, and they’re going to do it with the "Annual Pass."
