Story wise its disappointing. I know they only confirmed 3 missions, but none of those missions contain any story developments besides "the radio voice updates of the situation from Eris", its just the same old: Go here, kill this enemy/s, get this, come back. No cutscenes or character interaction outside the tower at all to tell the story. Eris does talk alot which was always interesting when interacting with her, but there should have been more to it on the story front. Gameplay wise I did enjoy the bounties, and I would hope the Queens Wrath also follows suit becuase Eris bounties and quest are pretty interesting. The Raid is alot of fun as well, new mechanics to get through as teams, thralls everywhere and Crota is way more enjoyable fight then Atheon. I do however agree that the amount of content included in this expansion is little. The Raid is seemingly the only beefy portion, as alot of the game already uses areas we've been to multiple times. There are multiplayer maps, but lets be real here, the games main stay is PVE; not much thought was put into the Crucible since you earn reptuation alot more frequently and to a better degree by doing PVE strikes and patrols and you get better loot/engrams as well - especially when you compare Strikes to the Crucible. To make matters worse, the VoG raid drops aren't updated to match the expansions, little to no point doing that unless you need shards. I would hope after seeing the reaction from its consumers (not just bnet but other places like RT's patch or Kotaku for instance) that they'll realize they need to focus on the story more since the gameplay is already solid. Bungie should also get there loot system together as well, cause having to get a commendation to get one piece of gear instead of using Weekly CAPPED marks that can also be used on materials is ridiculous as well. Many of us understand Destiny's grind, but I think with this DLC it just got worse.
