So what the actual -blam!-...?
Weeks of build up for "roadmap content". The Final Assault: Undying Mind. Sounds pretty -blam!-ing cool doesn't it? Well I got a -blam!-ing surprise for you. They REMOVED the old Vex Offensive, Added "Final Assault" to the name, made the mobs just a little bit harder, re-modeled the boss and thats it. Go have fun, heres your final roadmap content for this season. Same -blam!-ing tactics as old vex offensive, excatly same objectives. It's like they didnt even try. Oh.. your getting tired of Vex Offensive? Let's slap some new paint on those mobs and release it again. Yeah that should do the trick. -blam!- you Bungie, where do I refund my shadowkeep?
Edit: I would be fine with it would it be free content, but to actually charge money for this garbage is so unreal it baffles me.

I'm kind of indifferent. I do understand where people come from especially when you frame the situation as the VO was THE activity for the season pass and only look at the pass. I'd argue that the quality of said activity in it's entirety is better than escalation protocal/ritual. Better than the forges. But maybe not as good as menagire. I feel like the impact of this wouldn't be so severe if this was just an extra thing to do with shadowkeep. It's been made pretty clear that budgeting is the answer to why things are the way they are (in regards to vendor refreshes, NF exclusive fear, etc.) Implying they have to sacrifice some of that stuff for other content because they can't continually pump out new unique gear for every new activity. I'd have been happy with shader/emblem/ghost/sparrow or something to signify me being there for the return of the undying mind.
