My two cents on Final shape and Echoes.(also the free QoL updates)

[b]Final Shape(Campaign):[/b] -I enjoyed it, certainly built for the long time player, nobody who came in post Beyond Light probably cares about Cayde, as his limited existence in Destiny 2 was removed entirely shortly thereafter. [b]Final Shape(World):[/b] -Pretty neat, first half is quite nice to wander around in for a while. I was a bit disappointed in post campaign there was not further areas to uncover of the world. The marketing put it as "The entire Pale Heart opens up to you" which I took to mean after campaign there would be other areas to explore past what the story covered. This was admittedly something I put in my head and not them, so I can't fault them that much for it. -Dual Destiny is awesome, I absolutely loved it. The one dude I play the game with was unavailable so I ended up using the discord LFG and me and this warlock went through it and had a great time. [b]Final Shape(Exotics):[/b] -Class item(Hunter) I have one issue with: It's extremely flamboyant. I am not. My style is not, I match things to my style as much as possible, please make a ornament that is simply in design, or let it use EV only ornaments so that you still get your money out of it, but lets me use the style I want. -Kvostov, weirdly lengthy, but very fun gun. Legendary version is great too, has great options. -Ergo Sum, great fun, absolutely enjoying it. -Armors I haven't used at all, so no comment. [b]Echoes(Gameplay):[/b] -I like the Nessus environment changes in the activity, PLEASE put these changes in the open world, especially the changes from the end of Act1 to the Cistern area, I really thought it looked great. -Having seasons impact the open world would be a great way to help the game feel alive that is sorely missing. We had two cabal invasions after the Red War as well as a Hive invasion(sorta) and yet the Cosmodrome and EDZ areas are unchanged from release date states. Where is the leftover remains of the Lucent Hive from its season? Some hive structure bits in the EDZ for that. [b]Echoes(Story):[/b] -Act 1: Boring. Sorry but as a long time player through the last 4 years of the game, this season is very unfocused on the issues at hand. The Vex are doing things, big deal yes? No, apparently we can take a scenic route and talk about every bodies feelings for a bit. The idea that Saint-14 never once wondered about if he is "The real Saint" after we pulled him out of a different timeline years ago is baffling. -Please stop timegating stuff, players said for years "Stop timegateing seasons we hate it." And Bungie went "We're listening! Unfortunately I went deaf in that ear from the One Eyed Mask rants in year 2... More timegating you said?" [b]Free QoL Updates:[/b] -Shader icon update was jarring for about two days then i got used to it. Still doesn't make total sense, but I understand it again, so who cares. -Lighting Update: ABSOLUTE WIN. The extended distance you can make out details on planet horizons is awesome, Nessus has a great blue hue just before the sun rises that lets you see fo miles in great clarity. The EDZ lighting is great, and even the Cosmodrome looks better, and thats hard to improve as it currently stands. Basically I love the more dramatic colored lighting across the game, think it looks great thanks for that. Ok review over. Thanks for reading.
