The state of the F2P endgame experiance

The free to play endgame experience is solely confined to iron banner, nightfalls and raids as trials requires the newest season now. Iron banner is getting a rework and as such I won’t mention it and nightfalls have been the same (and some require DLC to do) for a long time but I don’t have the facilities to go in to that topic right now. I want to focus on the free to play raid experience. The raid experience is really lacking compared to what it was prior to season 12. The addition of Vog was awesome and unvaulting prior raid content on a seasonal basis is a step in the right direction. But all I will say is that we had 1 full raid and 2 raid lairs all as free content for f2p players. Right now we only have one and if we only get one unvaulted raid a year with the potential for bungie to vault more content it will have taken 3 years to reach the same quantity of free to play raid content as what was available before season 12 and there’s no guarantee we’ll keep what we already have. They should just give us the leviathan back at this point. At least the loot was some of the prettiest we’ve ever gotten. I understand bungie has fear of making the game too large but just adding the raid as a free to play experience in the legends tab with the same gear not level capped or even potentially with random rolls on the weapons would not do as much harm as people think. Likewise this fear of a large game is really from bungie’s side as they have not heard any confirmation people would still play if the game was larger in size. Personally I’d be happy to give the game more storage for a better experience; considering the game has mountains of content vaulted/available to be ported over from D1. Likewise other top game titles have 100+ Gigabyte storage requirements and they still have plenty of players. Look at call of duty for example. In the case of adding the leviathan specifically back bungie already has the raid made, it already works in the D2 engine and they reprise old weapons with new perks on a seasonal basis so It can’t be that much of a hassle to do (and that’s even if they chose to do it). Disclaimer before people start complaining I am a F2P player being greedy or that I want more from bungie without paying. I’ve bought every season and expansion this games put out. I’m not whinging that we need more free stuff for the sake of it. The F2P experience is generally just totally lacking in comparison to what it was prior to year 4. It seriously would not hurt to make the game slightly larger and add another free raid to the legends tab. I’m not hating on bungie either. They’re doing an excellent job with the current content and year 5 is looking to be a whole lot of fun.

  • Honestly shouldn't have went F2P, especially for endgame. I don't even play or care for Bungie and I don't agree with this. Just as one would have to play the whole game to get the full benefit, you would also have to pay in full for said experience.
