Nah I’d rather have the polarity/catalyst changes first so I can get builds for my favorite characters together. The only thing that changes for the trader is that you collect more BPs nothing else. It literally changes nothing.
@@Sodamachine62 nah that makes zero sense from both a programming and marketing pov. I think what happened is similar to why Luna only has 2 trans on release. Developing trans mods seems to be a little too much I guess on the programming side because these mods for the most part completely change abilities. 4 trans mods are prolly just as hard as making the 4 abilities for the descendants.
I'm 320 hours I finally got ult bunny as my first ult today. I'm so happy. My friend has all the characters already and almost all the weapons it's insane to me. Such a fun game
The fact they really trying to push the merchant as a content update when it should be considered a QoL improvement and be a day 1 thing. They also need to switch freyna to day 1 and move Hailey to the back, if they don’t want to drop everything at once which they need to. Game is in desperate need of content.
I have to disagree with your first point, adding a whole merchant is a content update TBH, a QoL would be a dismantle option for blueprints. But I wish they'd at least put Freyna in September...
@@paul.with.sunglasses9007nah G. Adding a vendor that allows you trade parts for parts is not content. It’s QoL cause it makes the game easier without changing gameplay. It doesn’t alter the games core gameplay. In this case, you trading parts for 6% ultimate piece that you farmed hours for previously makes your game better and enhances your farming/grinding experience. Adding a vendor doesn’t alter the games core gameplay.
while getting ult freyna day 1 would be nice. I personally am way more excited for the new character. I'd personally be rather frustrated having to wait to october to see her. just my opinion though, im sure id be mad too if the ult freyna was what I was looking forward too.
As a person who works 50-60 hours a week minimum, I still hate drip fed content. I do think thegrind needs a pity system because I have spent so much of my vaulable time in the game for nothing but this isn't the answer. Don't slow down players with time on their hands you just make more people miserable with time wasting.
@@wildlymediocreoriginalrecipe like staring at a orange wall waiting for the reactors to respawn to get a chance at a pattern lol! Can't believe people use to wait 5 minutes to use a Sharon for 10 seconds of gameplay. That blows my tiny little mind
You are getting something when you open an amorphous. It only sucks when you are staring out… but as you start going for specific descendants or weapons… all the rewards you didn’t want will start compiling and then before you know it, you’ll have parts for everything. Granted I have done over 500 outpost missions probably.
I absolutely agree with you. Work full time, taking care of my kids, have minimal time to enjoy myself and I usually spend it gaming. While I enjoyed playing this in the beginning, I think its just time to move on for me. I hate drip fed content. Especially the kind that revolve around massive grinds.
This may sound callous but whenever I read comments like this, I wonder if people are forgetting that they paid exactly $0 dollars to play this game. And at no point do you actually need to fork over money to progress through the game or level up. Yeah the grind is a pain but I honestly can’t blame the developers for having that system. The grind is suppose to be a pain in hopes that you’ll shell out a little bit of money for something that you really want. Otherwise, how else is the company going to make money.
@@jeroxz i prepared mats and money for her and now i can quit this game for two months or forever since i got nth to farm at all, srsly few months for 1 ultimate char is crazy..
The “drip-feeding” would almost be a non issue if they’d been clear about it from the start. Devs have been pretty good with communication up until now, they messed up this time, it happens they’ll learn from it. Regarding the Hayley transcendent modules, I’d be surprised if non of them drop with her at S1 launch. We’re probably getting two off the bat and two more later.
you can argue that but precedent says otherwise considering the vast majority of people hate it from destiny 2. And i can personally say it took the wind out of my sails for this season, especially with the trader coming so late into the season. edit: forgot to mention they are also increasing the grind rather than speeding it up or making it easier. nobody wants to keep having to level stuff up to 40 6+ times per weapon or descendent you decide to main. and then having to do it again when the ult version comes out. the catalyst change is nice, but adds to the grind rather than rewarding you for spending the time to catalyst most if not all slots when people have been asking for allowing build diversity and also speeding up the leveling process. The speed you level up to 40 for a first time use is fine, but each catalyst things should be getting faster and faster so you spend more time actually playing with the item and playing the game rather than afk in bunny cave or doing one of the other exp grind slogs since everything still gives very little (or no exp in the case of colossi fights) exp
@Maxshark999 I don't play Destiny, but how do we know all of the content is finished? We complained about having too much useless loot, and they responded. Except we gave them a month to action on it. Now we big mad.
well they were semi-clear about this, in their roadmap all the season content seem to be given through 3 updates which many people guess would be one per month. The same applies to season 2 content as well.
@@N7-ElusiveOne Just delay the season if the content isn't finished? or dont make a trailer and constantly be like "hey guys get ready for season 1 and all the content we add" and its 1. not much content, and 2. its drip fed over the course of 3 months and the trailer right before literally said the stuff would be available on the 29th. they failed in multiple areas in that regard. and with all the extra loot, they have known in advance because i know for a fact people brought it up to them in the betas. and yet they made grinding for gear worse since the betas (ie. shape stabilizers are rare and have a low quantity cap based on MR, like MR 20 lets you hold 5 iirc. those let you pick the item you want rather than being useless like they are now). and they are literally using warframe and destiny and similar games as a general framework but didn't consider what the extra stuff you get should be used for? doubt it.
I played 240hrs during the pre season, I had a ton of fun, realizing that this was pre-season and they were likely looking for more feedback and seemed to be quickly implementing changes. I can't say I want to play Season 1 at this point due to MORE ARTIFICIAL TIME-GATING. Crafting timers are already horrendous, and no amount of "fake problem/bad design" will make me pay to speed that up. I bought several skins because they were high-quality and didn't come with p2w garbage. Its a skin. They should monetize this way, not with convenience. The negative reviews and low player count will self correct when the anti-consumer practices end. The gameplay and gearing are really fun...and I really hope Nexon doesn't ruin a good thing.
Yeah I enjoyed this game so much those first 150 or so hours, the 50 that followed became boring, now I’m just shrugging at this seasonal content and starting to think I probably won’t be touching this game for the rest of the year. The grind just doesn’t sound fun and nothing in this new stuff is really looking very exciting, let alone the fact that it’s going to be spread out over several months.. feels like a dying game already, kinda sad I had some high hopes for it. Through all the terrible grind and time-gating, the gameplay actually feels amazing. They just need to improve the structure around that gameplay to actually feel rewarding and worth any amount of time investment at this point, because that just feels entirely missing at around 200 hours played.
I agree with most of what you said but coming from warframe the time to craft things isn't the real issue, warframe it would take a week to craft an ultimate equivalent and 3 days at least for a regular character, the issue with crafting to me is the limitation of 5 at a time if I got the resources and money I should be able to craft anything I want
Imagine how mad I am that I BY ACCIDENT sped up my energy activator and basically like almost a 1000 caliber. I put a ticket in and they said they can’t help me and hope that I still play the game LOL.
@@user-xh4rk4qh7d Agreed, just scrap the crafting limitation. It's just an unnecessary annoyance that has no place in this game if they plan on supporting it with content long term.
Of all of this, the thing I care about most are the socket changes. The current limitations and lock-in are tremendously frustrating. I hope this turns out to be as-described.
The fact we're already fighting against RNG on top of RNG, to add a timer into the mix is a giant F-U to all players. It doesn't respect our time. Or our money.
if it's time-gated it better be guaranteed some useful reward, from the video it looked like Hailey BPs, as long as it's garunteed to drop one I don't think it's too bad
I agree with u man, the excitement for season1 were gone instantly, instead of a lot players will play on s1 launch, I'm sure thy will just w8 whn all updates is done, thats if they still have the motivation to play. this was not clear on the road map we all assumed all the contents showed on the trailer will be on the s1 update
So basically I can grind out some progression content a few times a day to make my classes stronger so that in 3 months time, they can get weaker again when the system goes away? Not a fan tbh
Nah that’s alright they probably took that from Diablo 4, where in every new season they introduce a similar system. The problem they made though is time-gating it.
"borrowed power" is a very popular mechanic with "season" based games. It helps to keep things fresh between main content drops (expension). There are not many better alternatives
I think the drip feed is bad. Look how it hurt destiny. I’m a long term destiny player that just moved to this game and I hope it doesn’t suffer the same fate.
@@aka_says2384 Destiny just has an extremely loyal fan base. It's been going downhill for half it's lifespan. I finished the story on newest xpac and finally quit. Had to end the long journey from D1 beta to the end of the light/dark saga. Even skipped one of the xpacs completely before. Bungie got too greedy and lazy. Hope Sony shuts them down tbh.
i personally dont care much about dripfeed. What bothers me most is time gated content. Destiny 2 had it. If I took 3 weeks off the game, I missed an exclusive story quest, maybe exclusive rewards. Does this game have anything like that at the moment? except BP rewards
Transcendent modules are exactly how I build around...I really wish they would at least release her modules with her...She's going to get researched, leveled to 40, and forgotten about by most players.
By the time ult frey gets released, people will lose interest in her. Hyping up the good stuff then announcing that its drip feed content is like telling your kids you got them some really cool presents for christmas, but a day before christmas you tell them that 2/3 of their presents will be locked away for 2 months. The ones they get on christmas day are the soft presents like clothes and the ones locked away are the hard ones like boxes (a console, games etc. You know, the ones they actually want).
About the line you skipped, I think it's trying to tell us that when you "lock/favorite" an item, you can designate a shape to it instead of all of them being a heart.
I agree, but I think this is more of a bandaid than a real good addition... each descendant should have a loadout of external components that we don't have to buy separately... if you want a 2nd component loadout, buying an extra could cost you, sure...
Thats what it means , agreed 100% . But its really really disappointing and annoying that they don't fix the reactor/components issue. u stick to the same shit when u swap descendants. fom lepic to bunny and bunny is running fire loadout. u have to press preset after every swap. and if u don't have presets und can mess around with 100ds of reactors and components first....suxxx
@SubjugatorPS3 ya know you can just hit preset and it'll switch your descendant for you as well. No need to swap characters and load out separately if you have a preset in place
Level up your guns grind out haileys reactor and upgrade unique weapons like all of em cause all will get buffs to match others that are performing well.
@@UryuCiferit means you won't get all the content the devs hyped up at launch of season 1. Instead, they will release a bit per month over almost 3 months of time
Yikes, they dropped the ball with this one. They had a ton of momentum and this might’ve killed it. I’ll still be back when the vendor comes but this gave me a justified reason to take a break from the game lol
The drip feeding was a huge mistake, they should immediately combine everything into 1 update on august 29, like Moxsy said, this is going to push players away rather than keep them engaged. If they do release it all on august 29th like we all expected it to, everything will be fine, but if they stick to this staggered release, IMO it's going to destroy a lot of the trust and good-will they've built up with the playerbase.
then what happens after a few weeks when we unlock everything and have to wait til december for season 2? I'm not happy about the drip feeding but I think everything at once would be worse.
You're definitely right about the drip feed Moxy. As a former long-time destiny player drip feed is the worst way to handle content. It should all be there to grind endlessly whenever new content is dropped.
did you notice how similar ETA-0 is to xur? mysterious vendor that occasionally visits albion with random products purchasable with an exclusive currency?
I love the void shard and fusion reactor change. I have like 33ish amorphous material built up when I was trying to farm ult bunny piece. The game kept giving me the amorphous I didn’t want or need. It takes roughly 3 ish runs of the void fragments to run the reactors once. The thought of having to run the fragments upwards of 90 plus times to open all of them has deterred me from wanting to farm them out.
So basically the gameplay content includes - 2 reskinned operations for solo speed running per day - wait a month for a boss - wait another month for higher difficulty of old content Thats the gameplay content? 😢 wtf
I was super excited reading through the notes this morning until I came to the schedule and was like what the heck. 2 months away for all of the content that I thought was all going to drop on day 1. Really made me frustrated. I'm excited for things to come but I agree that the timing should be condensed if they arent dropping everything all at once. I would personally rather wait another couple of weeks to have everything just be available rather than having to wait.
I personally don't mind the drip feed since I played a bunch of gacha games kinda used to it also my time isn't what it used to be and I can check out some other games, but I completely understand why most everyone else will hate it so hopefully the devs can figure out something to make everyone happy
I know right. I have a ton of other breakers and analyzers and only 5 ultras. They definitely need to up this. I gave up trying to focus on Enzos trans mods a while a go. I just focus on the materials for crafting.
you ain't wrong man drip feeding is a terrible practice and it's definitely gonna push me away personally that's why i'm so glad space marines is launching right after this update.
1) Time Gating: given the way they described it and its purpose regarding dungeons and infiltrations, I think it is ok even though I also do not like time gating. Splitting up Hailey and Ultimate Freyna along with separating Haley from her modules is just bad. 2) Leveling: no xp/catalyst help is a let down The time gating choice is weird since it is a free to play game. I have spent money on the game and do not mind doing so. When you drip feed the content, I have plenty of time to do everything because there is nothing else to do. Give me everything at once and I might actually spend a bit to move something along. There is zero incentive or desire for me to do that when everything is spaced out. I think it is a bad call in general but especially given their monetization model.
If they're going to do 3 updates, then they need to make sure there's a full slate of content that makes each one impactful. The next mistake was the release order...everything Hailey should have been in the season 1 launch update. Switch the intercept battle and Ultimate Freyna. I understand wanting Hailey to have her own time to shine but Ultimate Freyna and her story should have been in the Sept update. Moving the intercept battle would make sense since Gluttony just dropped and most players aren't even halfway through the hard mode bosses. I would love to see the % of active players who have beaten 1 hard mode boss. Also I know the trader may have been a last minute thing, even though there should have been one at launch. But if they can finish it early and launch it in Sept then that would be a big W. I don't mind the grind but most players are not like me and I don't want the game to die before it had a chance to really take off.
1 - The occupation mission being deleted is a W. But why are we keeping the drone that needs shields to move? And the capture points, which is the same as occupation points but that you don't need to be in it which drop the package for you to deliver some place else? What about the destruction of kuiper nodes where you need to sit in them for 15 seconds x 6 nodes? And lastly, barrier defenses? All those mandate people to stay inside a certain area doing next to nothing but scratch their balls, much like the occupation missions. 2 - There are still operations where 240 or 250% isn't even enough to guarantee a 2x amorphous drop. And there's others, like Mystery's End, that forces you to wait on the kuiper nodes part (which ppl use to farm the batteries for energy activators) for more mobs to spawn so you can get the points. Is that being fixed as well, or not really? 3 - For the love of god, either nerf gluttony, buff the ice orbs cooling or rework his wipe mechanic entirely. I do NOT want to matchmake or lfg in world chat just to have a go at it 50x until I get a kill. And while we're at it, don't gatekeep items like peace maker behind such a shitty boss like gluttony. As for actual improvements, they could rework most missions to be done faster in hard mode so people aren't stuck to just 2-3 missions to farm gold and they could also add catalysts+energy activator materials to a global loot table so we don't have to spend 2 hours doing that every 3 days.
You mentioned like half the mission types in the game... but fuck those fucking drone escort things 220% can get you max score on any operation as long as you play it right, you have to wait for extra enemy spawns, that's just part of the strategy Every colossus after Obstructor is cringe, but you gotta build for it, and peace maker locked behind Tony is cringe too I know fully built catalysts can drop at an abysmal chance, not sure about activators, if you're farming ANYTHING, it's very likely you get CC blueprints... EA blueprints aren't hard, run Sepulcer for 077 at 220% a few times, then fight Devourer, 2 hours every other day isn't bad.
Move Haileys Modules, ult freyna and the special merchant to August and combine the rest with the September update and either have it still planned for Sept. or move it to early October. The current schedule makes zero sense. They did listen to the community in the past consistently so let's hope for the best.
Was hoping to see something about the xp grind for weapons and descendants. It would be nice if the merchant sold 1 or 2 day xp boosters. Even if they do not something we can take advantage of for 2 months…
We don’t want our players to finish all the content too early so instead we’re gonna give them less to do on day 1, doesn’t make sense to me. If anything it’s gonna make people stop playing sooner.
The thing with Hailey is really weird. I'm guessing they needed more time to work on her transcendent mods. Meanwhile I still can't get Supply Moisture to drop so I still have plenty to catch up on lol
I couldn't get that for a long time then I gave up. A couple weeks later it randomly dropped from an outpost boss LOL I was shocked. It wasn't even on the acquisition list. This game man. I've gotten half my trans mods from combining hahahaha
@@kevinallen1428 I just got a random Gley trans mod from combining 3 rare and 1 ultimate lol. And I already got 2 of Luna's x.x I have sooooo many that randomly dropped but never Supply Moisture :/
@@kevinallen1428 I farmed Dead Bride for the last two days trying for Massive Sanguification for Gley. Combined modules before getting off for bed and got it from 4 golds, go figure lol.
you probably won't be able to get her on day 1 because her research items are locked behind specific dungeons which you can only do twice a day. so i bet you need a month or two anyway to get her. so in the end it doesn't matter yet people are butthurt about it.
Already skipping this content as I have nothing left to farm for and time gating content is a big no no for me. Maybe check in for season 2 at end of the year. Game is just boring now and leaves you with nothing to do.
Chances are some of the stuff isn’t ready yet but they know they can’t delay releasing some new stuff for any longer. They probably need a bigger staff. Drip feeding content that is ready is still tons better than rushing everything out and trying to fix it all within a tight time frame especially since there’s probably going to be more QoL updates coming out anyway.
Then just be upfront and say, ‘we’re behind schedule and need some time to clean things up before we can release it’. The choice to drip feed content is always a bad one. I’d rather wait for it all to be ready, at least then they’d be respecting my time
@@s0uth9arkcartman21 problem with that is they know something needs to come out. Saying that we’re behind, we’re gonna have to postpone is an even worse decision to make because the chances of players leaving the game go up not down. Also everyone should’ve expected this with the power of common sense. They’re not going to release what’s not ready especially since season 1 is still starting out pretty strong with Hailey, speed running, buffs, and QoL changes that they’ve been working on that was asked for. They more than likely prioritized that over Freyna but the devs are just not allowed to win aren’t they? I’m not happy about the drip feeding but I’m understanding it was going to happen which means I’m taking this pretty well.
From one gamer to another, I agree with you on certain points and disagree on others. Not everyone has the luxury to sit at home and game all day. Whether it’s kids, spouses, jobs or just random life situations, there should be a balance to all. From a gamer perspective, I want all the content right away but I also don’t want it right away. You’re right, we run through it and move on. Having content to come back to also makes sense as it keeps us engaged with the game. Some of us play multiple games at once and some are solely dedicated to one game at a time. Some of us can grind all day or even invest into caliber to help us progress and others can’t. I believe a MONTHLY update of content/features is fair. Releasing a new descendant with no transcendant modules is no bueno. I agree they should be released together. It’s great that the devs listen to their community vs other devs that don’t like Ubisoft/Massive entertainment devs with the division franchise. I believe Nexon devs are moving at the correct pace to create a great balance for all hardcore and casual gamers alike. I know some gamers are a bit extra complaining it takes forever to farm for example an ultimate descendant but I’m sure they live life complaining all the time when grinding an ultimate character can only take a few hours. We should all be helping towards the cause of creating a balanced fun experience for all.
With the Hailey augment 2 months away, unless you just wanna get her for MR there is no reason to invest anything in her cause you have to reset it all again once thorse drop. It's such a dumb way to split content. At least, let them drop together so players can have an idea of what build they gonna go for.
These bad aspects will be the death of this game. This is not the only game on our plate. We have new Ark maps, we have Diablo 4, we need to be able to play this when we have the time to do it. If they put it all out now and we can all play it now, we'd jump on top of all of it. The biggest things that remove people from games is "daily grind". If I can only do two missions and then done, it begins feeling like a job. If you don't do your two runs, you're suddenly behind the curve. You do your "job" or you "suck". If that's how they are planning to release new content, I'm already fading out and we haven't even started the season..
Had they not already set a precedent of giving us a new character, new ult, new boss AND patch notes all at once in the previous update, maybe I wouldn’t have been so hype to recieve everything that was displayed next week. So it was a huge let down not to be getting ULT Freyna for another 2 months
They never set that precedent. The road map for season 1 literally showed 3 updates so it was already made clear that certain things will be released during the course of season 1 just from that indication alone. I’m all for wanting things upfront 90% of the time, but unless you want another garbage HD2 situation, be happy that nexon is separating this into 3 updates to make sure that the things being released in season 1 aren’t half baked or overly busted that it will break the game and will need nerfs.
Hot take- I sort of prefer the 'drip feed', maybe not to this extent, I'd rather Freyna be in September and Hailey's modules come out with her, but I still prefer this to getting a bunch of content, then nothing new until season 2 in December...
To be clear, I never said I wasnt cool with spread out content. I trying to say that due to the natural of we received last patch, and the trailers, I was under the impression it would be a similar release. So I was hype to receive all of the content I saw, especially Ult Freyna and I think its reasonable to be disappointed to find out it wasn’t happening til later the. I thought . Aside from that I like the patch and I’m going to play the game regardless cause I’m having fun .
@@N7-ElusiveOne I don't understand though. If you don't have time to play all day like a streamer, why do you care if it is drip fed or not? How does it affect you / what is there to worry about?
The xp farming needs a rework ASAP cuz building a new character is costly both in resources and time, after 7 catalysts and a activator a have one char with a build, but all this took 2 or 3 days, spend even more catalysts in one character to have more "build diversity" is a bland W, it helps but it's not there yet.
I like that now you dont just "HEART" an item to save it, but you can use different shapes, so its easy to identify my gold drop component or my mod drop component using diferent shapes apart from "heart"
Some good stuff, but I'm going to eventually drop the game due to my rubbish luck with RNG. Getting tired of doing dozens of outposts with Sharen for a couple of amorphous, or far more amorphous than I should have to at a reactor to get a part I want. It is too frustrating.
I love the look of the new character! it makes no sense waiting 2 months to give her her transcendent mods. she will just be unnecessarily weaker and less customizable then other Descendants on release. all the other updates sound really refreshing to the game, I love that we are getting a merchant to get weapon and descendant blue prints from. I spent so much time recently grinding out the parts for the secret garden just being able to buy them even if inconsistent will be great. I wish it was just like hey here's the full weapon but I can understand that they want to keep more of the grind around. the drip feed of content makes sense for a game like this, yes it might be annoying but it will give the players time to figure out the new dungeon mechanics and get ready for the next batch of content. perhaps what they should have done was simply give us the dungeons and character without telling us about some of the other features, then as we got closer to the date they intend to release it they then tell us hey in a week you get a new boss to fight, a new gun to get, and some other goodies. still giving us the drip feed of content but then you don't look at the timeline and go well the thing I really want I have to wait 2 months for which leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
"we want the game to more focused on group play that's why the final hm intercept bosses and ones we release going forward have forced matchmaking" "Also lets make the new content solo play only and designed for a super small/ niche percentage of players who speedrun"
@@TheCnicus they just want to make sure you cant be carried by your friends or randoms so they remove group play to make you go buy something in the store🤡 thats my guess
@@miavelvet I actually prefer solo and am in the boat of players who like speedrunning dungeons and wish the latter hm bosses weren't forced matchmaking. But im a small percent. I was simply meming the devs indecisiveness on what type of content they want to foces on
@@miavelvet trust me, there's nothing you can buy in the store that'll actually carry you through hard content, all the good descendants are easy to unlock (yes including ultimates, don't waste your money), and the power of your descendants is entirely based off of hours put into leveling them up
I'm on the other boat here. I much prefer content that are accessible both solo and as a group. I do not want to rely on the matchmaking algorithm to find me players who understand the more difficult colossus with wipe mechanics- or getting a lvl10 bunny in Gluttony. Also, i like challenging myself whenever I do more difficult content solo. I truly wish they design this games each future content having an option to do solo or group play.
Perhaps because Hailey's materials will get a low drop chance or perhaps requiere hard mode bosses, and most people won't be able to unlock her in 1 week. I don't think many players are buying descendants from store.
In one of the gameplay previews it looks like her blueprints might only drop from the new daily dungeon they are adding that can only be run twice per day. If that's true then that could really slow down the process of researching her, depending on the rates.
Releasing Hailey incomplete is crazy. Ult Freyna, Hailey reds, and the merchant. They could've made the merchant drop in Oct, Ult Freyna in Sept, and Hailey reds drop with her on Aug 29 but no they do this goofy nonsense.
Overall, I don't mind the "drip feed" approach to seasons at all. IMO it's less overwhelming and gives casual players TIME to do the "routine, every day/week" grinding for things like mats to keep crafting Catas and Activators, keep farming for Enzo red modules, keep unlocking and fully cata/leveling new ultimate weapons, etc. HOWEVER, I totally hate the "regular" vs "ultimate" descendants, and it's especially stupid to introduce a "regular" Hailey without any of her transcendent mods until 2 months later! Frankly, I want to build out Enzo, but I refuse until we have an "ultimate" Enzo. I don't even want to waste an Energy Activator on ANY "regular" descendant, let alone fully cata them up and (re)level them 8 times each. Why? Why the HELL? I'm only going to spend that amount of investment in an "ultimate" descendant. Honestly, they need to completely discard this whole "regular" vs "ultimate" B.S. It makes zero sense.
U have 0% idea how much harder I could've gone. What you think is too much for me, is nothing to me. I enjoyed the game is why I'm at those hours, and i still do, I'm just stating the time gate, for seasonal game, is a tuff pill swallow
I think I get the shapes thing on the modules For example, I have like 5 reactors for gley. Enduring, python, piercing, etc. And I always have to check which is which when I want to equip a specific one. I believe they're making it so you can favorite items and assign them different shapes like a square, a circle, a triangle, etc so you can distinguish between similar reactors without having to hover over every single one until you find the one you want
Something to note about void fusion reactors not requiring the fragments unless you use the reconstructed device is that you can now use them to farm for consumable materials. Some of them drop consumables and they are all elite mobs with a few having 2-4 spawns. Will be great for the materials that need a better farm method.
I don't mind the "Drip feed" for Freyna, It more or less does what people were complaining about when the trailer dropped where they were pissed going "I just invested in Freyna now the ultimate drops why didn't we get more of a warning ahead of time." We just got ultimate Valby she is to hold us over till freyna and this 3 month period is more or less the "Warning." people wanted on if you have not invested and wanna wait you know she is next. Much like how Warframe will tease/reveal a new prime but it does not get released for about 3 months, The trailer is really more just our teaser letting us know the next ultimate that will drop 2 months from then. I do think a lot of the other stuff could be shuffled around depending, An issue with a lot of these patch notes is you can tell they don't do a great job on the translations causing the meaning of things to get jumbled up. Like if phase 1 the solo dungeons can only be run twice a day for the season progression system but you can keep running it for fun/rewards like the new descendant parts however it no longer gives you whatever currency to rank up your inversion thing I am fine with that cause that lets them tailor the difficulty of the new colossus boss on par with the ranks everyone should be at on its release making it a challenge that will slowly get easier as the next 2 months go on. however, if its a set 2 times a day and you are SoL if you don't get the drops you want I don't understand what there will even be able to do the first month. You log in do your daily dungeon runs then wait till the next reset? at least if we could farm the new descendant parts you could spend the month messing with her.
I mean, I'm perfectly fine with the slow drip, giving you a reason to come back every month, even if only for a week. And then you also have time for other games this way. Another thing is that they didn't. You would finish the entire season worth of update in a week. It's not that bad.
@@XxZackxX-bl1ydbruh fr, I don’t mind the slow dip honestly. I’m having so much fun with the game rn. I can’t no life this game like some people already having 500+ hrs in this game collecting descendants like pokemon. I’m just playing when I can and trying to maximize my Ultimate Lepic build as well as my guns. Also really looking forward to the Blair buffs.
@@PurposeDriven7_ The drip feeding of content only sucks for content creators/ those who play this game as a full time job… I think nexon can pull it off, people need to should chill out a bit and give em a chance. Let’s not forget, the game is free!
If u played warframe day 1 they went thru the same thing im a day one warframe player and we had alot of content drought till we got our first open world im not defending the drip feed business they got going on but u guys are being way to unfair comparing it to a 10+ game if we support them they can keep thriving like wf and other good looter shooters
They have 13 additions that they've been hyping. From August 29th to Oct 30th, is 2 months. 8 weeks. Give us 8 now, and 5 later, but make sure that what we're given makes sense. Trying to drip this out won't have the retention effect they're hoping for. People will come in, grind out what little they're doling out, and dip until the next wave.
What I want for the sockets is to be able to switch them freely once the socket has been enhanced ONCE. It seems like a massive material sink to use multiple catalysts on a single slot. It would also save people when they make a mistake and choose the wrong socket type. Remember, that not only do you have to craft the catalysts for nearly 8 hours each, you need to farm their fairly rare materials AND you have to level up your Descendant from 1 to 40 every, single, time. It sucked the first time, it doesn't get any better the 50th time, such an artificial way of padding playtime, which honestly kills the mood to try and max any new Descendants.
I get what you're saying but if you have a powerful bunny and Enzo, farming those activator and catalyst materials are easy and fast. I feel bad for some players that are having problems getting them. I wish I could trade them some of mine. I have more than enough to spare.
Having one catalyst half the cost of every mod would be insane, I agree leveling from 1-40 is a pain, but having catalysts be that strong would make things way to easy, at that point, make every mode have the same polarity
lol i play solo exclusively, yall randoms suck on these type of games, they had to reduce the wait time for one of the events from 5 to 1 minute because too many people would do them, not me id just go solo mode dont gotta worry about anyone messing anything up like the orb shields sequence no one would watch them spawn in and learn the order so the dev "fixed" it and took it out the game, wasnt broken yall just ass at the game. so im happy a solo mode is added im not happy that its time gated though.
@@DahBananaCannon cool who cares whatever. you can continue playing solo as you already did before and i cant continue playing in coop because this new mode is exclusively solo so this mode sucks and looks like i will completely skip the event. Considering how low online of the game now the solo option might be the only option soon especially when they intentionally alienate coop oriented players with such decisions
The original roadmap shows each season is spread across 3 updates. This shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone. We have just had a new Ult, with Valby. Everyone likes comparing this to Warframe. So for reference, they only release a new prime every 3 months. Eta0, is being implemented as a result of player feedback. These things take time to program, test etc. The new descendant being released seperate to her mods. Yeah that ones dumb.
I see a lot of people complaining about the drip feed of content and as someone that used to play destiny yall would be the same people complaining about not enough content by the end of September if they released everything at once 🤷🏾♂️…….. I’m looking forward to each month having something new to look forward to
Yeah, this is a great take. It's just some of the drip makes no sense. Hailey augments/Ultimate Freyna in October? If they did some rearranging the drip would be more tolerable. ETA-0 not coming until October is a huge let down as well.
Yeahhhh I disagree too I play destiny twice a year cause of drip fed content creating burnout. So I play in the final season and do the whole years content and I play the new expansions....rip expansions
Honestly a ton of Ws but that time-gating L is hard to ignore. I know what they're going for, but what actually happens is when people log in for an update, it's just going to feel underwhelming because the updates are smaller. If the updates took 3 times as long, but were 3 times as big, people would log in less frequently, but would actually be interested when the updates drop. When updates are smaller they're just less likely to care about the game in general over a long period of time. Destiny just started doing this and it sucks, they used to drop seasonal content, which wasn't all that exciting a lot of the time tbh, but a lot of it was front loaded so I would log on play for a few weeks to experience everything and it was fun. Now they split the seasons into 3 "acts" that drop about once a month, and I literally do not care enough to log on. I've put 8k hours into Destiny, hopped on for basically every raid/dungeon on day 1, and hopped on day 1 of every season to at least check it out. With the new "act" stuff it literally took 1/3 of a season for me to immediately lose interest, they dropped act 2 of the first season with this model about a month ago and I haven't even logged on because I already lost interest, because the content drops just feel so small and underwhelming (also I'm kind of addicted to TFD now lol). Hard to say how it actually affects their profits, but a lot of people will probably lose interest pretty quickly if the updates are smaller.
they really made it seem like everything would drop on Aug 29 with that trailer. just disappointed. i guess ill login back in OCT/NOV. tbh i wouldn't mind the drip feed if it was weekly or something.
Huge L for delaying Ultimate Freyna, Hailey modules and ETA-0. I don't really care if they "drip feed" the other content like the new boss, new weapon, skins and other stuff... But let us have the major content for the whole season.
Yes, we do. If you Catalyze an M onto slot 1, you need to use a second to also add an r to that slot. Then a third if you want an A. In other words, if each build takes 8 Catalysts to make, you still need to use 16 total. The only thing that changes is the fact you can change each slot on each build setting.
@@nolifeSnorlaxhow? Not every slot needs 2 catalyst. Your build should really only have to change 1-3 mods to go from bossing to mobbing or vice versa. Like my viessa, I need to change in dangerous ambush for my bossing build then take it out for my mobbing.
@@Curlyheadrae24 That is true, right now. There are 6 different polarities in the game right now (m, r, A, C Star, Blank), and not all of them are useful for all Descendants. My Luna uses 5 of the 6. I may need like, 1 or 2 extra Catalysts, but not all Descendants will be this lucky, especially if we get Descendants that are mixed or stat mods in ability sockets and such. Just imagine we get a +HP -Cooldown mod in the m slot or something.
The slow drip of content is actually a smart move, they know wukong is taking most players, and Space marine 2 is 2 weeks out... they're allowing players time to play those games and still have fresh stuff for us to do after those honeymoon periods are over
They don't care what other games are out. They are trying to spread out their content so that they aren't constantly dealing with bored players complaining about nothing to do. Also, they have to develop all this content. They don't just have it all ready from day 1.
The fact that all the content won't be available on the day for grinding, the fact that they put a TIME LIMIT on the invasions [I hate this system, just like Moxy hated it in Destiny, I hated it in Once Human], the fact that they took all the content from the season and divided it into 3 parts just to keep the players, all of this is a big NO for me. Yeah, Yeah, I get it, they want to keep the players, but dividing the content into a 3 month period will only drive the players away, not keep them. People in copium will say that: 'they didn't say that', they didn't say they would release everything on the 1st, etc, etc. To me, I call bullshit. Clearly, they want to suck as much content as possible to give time to develop the next content, and to keep the Hype in the game somehow, they did it this way. If Freya's ultimate, the new boss, and new content weren't ready, and they needed time, why make this trailer? This is just missleading. What's the point of having Hayley if her modules that really change her builds won't be ready until 2 month? It's like getting Luna, and Noise Surge only coming 2 month, basically killing her Mobbing build, hype is dead, wait for Warhammer I guess.
@@SmokinTonic You and that guy are so full of copium that it's not even worth debating lol, but I'm going to waste my time with you. WHO decided that it's not to be your main game or not? You? I'm the one who decides if it's going to be my main game or not, as someone who has 500 hours in the game, I want more content for the game, and seeing the devs artificially putting a time limit, and dividing content into 3 months, is just disrespectful, lol. Answering the other retard above, so what if they're running a business? Is that their excuse to do this kind of shit that people like you accept? If they keep doing this, they'll just be more predatory companies than they already are, after all, if you don't think that putting catalysts or activators in the store for people to buy with real-life money is a good thing, you're crazy. They are ARTIFICIALLY preventing people from grinding what they want because of the limit of things you can craft, the time limit on crafting is another one of these systems. For farming Hailey it will be the same thing, she will drop in invasion missions, and these missions will only be 2 per day... You wait, or buy it. Just like everything in this game.
I don't think I mind the drip feeding, but you point out one that is puzzling: why doesn't Hailey's modules come with Hailey? That's a first. And once an opinion is made on her as people will during the first few weeks, it'll be hard for October to boost her to the point people care (unless she's absurdly powered without a transcendent module).
See I’m gonna say drip feeding is a great feature for this game due to the fact it counters the problem of people getting carried through hard content and not gear up while also dealing with how overwhelming the amount of loot there is to get
The different shapes thing means that it wont just be a heart on everything, there will be different shapes to designate different items (So you could use one shape for main reactors, one for reactors with exp buffs etc) to quickly identify the right stuff. This ia a nice change if they had a bunch (10+) of shapes, because it will allow you to quick see which item is for what if you've saved a lot, but without adding a lot, you'll just run into the same problem as now, only a little slower.
"So, rather than splitting into three partial updates, Season 1 will be divided into two updates, one on August 29th and the other on October 10th. Along with the above change, we have also begun examining the update methods for the upcoming seasons in the future. In order to do so, our previous 3rd update for Season 1, will be merged to the 2nd update, which as mentioned above, will take place on October 10th." At least something...
The way I read the stuff about shapes for attached items is that currently all attached items are displayed with a heart but in the future there will be other symbols as well so you can kinda categorize your favorite items
Hyping up an ultimate version and then casually saying that it will come 2 months later than anybody thought definetly is a choice lmao
If they are going to do anything early I'd prefer the merchant, it's the only thing I truly care about.
Same😂 shits absurd
Nah I’d rather have the polarity/catalyst changes first so I can get builds for my favorite characters together. The only thing that changes for the trader is that you collect more BPs nothing else. It literally changes nothing.
@@MrxLethal Great news my dude, that's out on the 29th, so it's already happening first.
Merchant is gonna be useless.
If you already have everything. He’s just gonna sell the stuff you already have.

Yeah bro that shit blew me
@@BigSoappI’m boutta blow you
Maybe they want to make sure they work correctly?? If they released them in a buggy state everyone would crucify them
Im ok with the dripfeed, but that really is a weird choice...
@@Sodamachine62 nah that makes zero sense from both a programming and marketing pov. I think what happened is similar to why Luna only has 2 trans on release. Developing trans mods seems to be a little too much I guess on the programming side because these mods for the most part completely change abilities. 4 trans mods are prolly just as hard as making the 4 abilities for the descendants.
i didnt care too much about the drip feed until i saw the merchant guy is 3 months out lol
Same, that’s the only thing that made me excited for the new season after 400 hours of grinding. I guess I gotta play something else until then.
I'm 320 hours I finally got ult bunny as my first ult today. I'm so happy. My friend has all the characters already and almost all the weapons it's insane to me. Such a fun game
Same. I only cared about the merchant since I have no time to mindlessly grind & raise any new descendant or weapons
@@mirahgirl01you're very unlucky man
@@mirahgirl01One ulti in +300 hrs? Were you actively farming her?
The drip feeding literally killed all the hype
The fact they really trying to push the merchant as a content update when it should be considered a QoL improvement and be a day 1 thing. They also need to switch freyna to day 1 and move Hailey to the back, if they don’t want to drop everything at once which they need to. Game is in desperate need of content.
I have to disagree with your first point, adding a whole merchant is a content update TBH, a QoL would be a dismantle option for blueprints. But I wish they'd at least put Freyna in September...
@@paul.with.sunglasses9007nah G. Adding a vendor that allows you trade parts for parts is not content. It’s QoL cause it makes the game easier without changing gameplay. It doesn’t alter the games core gameplay. In this case, you trading parts for 6% ultimate piece that you farmed hours for previously makes your game better and enhances your farming/grinding experience. Adding a vendor doesn’t alter the games core gameplay.
Game is in desperate need of content. I disagree with this statement, there are thousands of F2P like me who are taking their time..
while getting ult freyna day 1 would be nice. I personally am way more excited for the new character. I'd personally be rather frustrated having to wait to october to see her. just my opinion though, im sure id be mad too if the ult freyna was what I was looking forward too.
As a person who works 50-60 hours a week minimum, I still hate drip fed content. I do think thegrind needs a pity system because I have spent so much of my vaulable time in the game for nothing but this isn't the answer. Don't slow down players with time on their hands you just make more people miserable with time wasting.
@@wildlymediocreoriginalrecipe like staring at a orange wall waiting for the reactors to respawn to get a chance at a pattern lol! Can't believe people use to wait 5 minutes to use a Sharon for 10 seconds of gameplay. That blows my tiny little mind
You are getting something when you open an amorphous. It only sucks when you are staring out… but as you start going for specific descendants or weapons… all the rewards you didn’t want will start compiling and then before you know it, you’ll have parts for everything.
Granted I have done over 500 outpost missions probably.
I absolutely agree with you. Work full time, taking care of my kids, have minimal time to enjoy myself and I usually spend it gaming. While I enjoyed playing this in the beginning, I think its just time to move on for me. I hate drip fed content. Especially the kind that revolve around massive grinds.
Yep I agree and I work a rapid rotation it’s even harder for me lol
This may sound callous but whenever I read comments like this, I wonder if people are forgetting that they paid exactly $0 dollars to play this game. And at no point do you actually need to fork over money to progress through the game or level up. Yeah the grind is a pain but I honestly can’t blame the developers for having that system. The grind is suppose to be a pain in hopes that you’ll shell out a little bit of money for something that you really want. Otherwise, how else is the company going to make money.
The fact that they will hold back Ult Frenya till the end killed me. I had all my hopes getting her next week and now the day b4 Halloween.
She’s just gonna be same useless and junk as her regular form
Especially since we don’t need her for void shard now. She’s trash
same I spent all week farming reactors for nothing
@@jeroxz i prepared mats and money for her and now i can quit this game for two months or forever since i got nth to farm at all, srsly few months for 1 ultimate char is crazy..
@dantesaber3892 feel ya
The only issue I see is the Monkey's Paw on trade in's.
They will set an exceedingly high turn in requirements for basic things.
Guaranteed to be tone def, like the "fix" for character builds
And they will have r*dditors gaslight you about how huge of a "W" it is.
The “drip-feeding” would almost be a non issue if they’d been clear about it from the start. Devs have been pretty good with communication up until now, they messed up this time, it happens they’ll learn from it.
Regarding the Hayley transcendent modules, I’d be surprised if non of them drop with her at S1 launch. We’re probably getting two off the bat and two more later.
you can argue that but precedent says otherwise considering the vast majority of people hate it from destiny 2. And i can personally say it took the wind out of my sails for this season, especially with the trader coming so late into the season.
edit: forgot to mention they are also increasing the grind rather than speeding it up or making it easier. nobody wants to keep having to level stuff up to 40 6+ times per weapon or descendent you decide to main. and then having to do it again when the ult version comes out. the catalyst change is nice, but adds to the grind rather than rewarding you for spending the time to catalyst most if not all slots when people have been asking for allowing build diversity and also speeding up the leveling process. The speed you level up to 40 for a first time use is fine, but each catalyst things should be getting faster and faster so you spend more time actually playing with the item and playing the game rather than afk in bunny cave or doing one of the other exp grind slogs since everything still gives very little (or no exp in the case of colossi fights) exp
@Maxshark999 I don't play Destiny, but how do we know all of the content is finished? We complained about having too much useless loot, and they responded. Except we gave them a month to action on it. Now we big mad.
well they were semi-clear about this, in their roadmap all the season content seem to be given through 3 updates which many people guess would be one per month. The same applies to season 2 content as well.
@@N7-ElusiveOne Just delay the season if the content isn't finished? or dont make a trailer and constantly be like "hey guys get ready for season 1 and all the content we add" and its 1. not much content, and 2. its drip fed over the course of 3 months and the trailer right before literally said the stuff would be available on the 29th. they failed in multiple areas in that regard.
and with all the extra loot, they have known in advance because i know for a fact people brought it up to them in the betas. and yet they made grinding for gear worse since the betas (ie. shape stabilizers are rare and have a low quantity cap based on MR, like MR 20 lets you hold 5 iirc. those let you pick the item you want rather than being useless like they are now). and they are literally using warframe and destiny and similar games as a general framework but didn't consider what the extra stuff you get should be used for? doubt it.
Womp Womp, never play a mmo then. Daily rep grinds would be far to difficult for you then.
I played 240hrs during the pre season, I had a ton of fun, realizing that this was pre-season and they were likely looking for more feedback and seemed to be quickly implementing changes.
I can't say I want to play Season 1 at this point due to MORE ARTIFICIAL TIME-GATING.
Crafting timers are already horrendous, and no amount of "fake problem/bad design" will make me pay to speed that up.
I bought several skins because they were high-quality and didn't come with p2w garbage. Its a skin.
They should monetize this way, not with convenience. The negative reviews and low player count will self correct when the anti-consumer practices end. The gameplay and gearing are really fun...and I really hope Nexon doesn't ruin a good thing.
I'm not sure if the gearing was fun, not for me because I had to grind the level reset. That is crazy
Yeah I enjoyed this game so much those first 150 or so hours, the 50 that followed became boring, now I’m just shrugging at this seasonal content and starting to think I probably won’t be touching this game for the rest of the year. The grind just doesn’t sound fun and nothing in this new stuff is really looking very exciting, let alone the fact that it’s going to be spread out over several months.. feels like a dying game already, kinda sad I had some high hopes for it. Through all the terrible grind and time-gating, the gameplay actually feels amazing. They just need to improve the structure around that gameplay to actually feel rewarding and worth any amount of time investment at this point, because that just feels entirely missing at around 200 hours played.
I agree with most of what you said but coming from warframe the time to craft things isn't the real issue, warframe it would take a week to craft an ultimate equivalent and 3 days at least for a regular character, the issue with crafting to me is the limitation of 5 at a time if I got the resources and money I should be able to craft anything I want
Imagine how mad I am that I BY ACCIDENT sped up my energy activator and basically like almost a 1000 caliber. I put a ticket in and they said they can’t help me and hope that I still play the game LOL.
@@user-xh4rk4qh7d Agreed, just scrap the crafting limitation. It's just an unnecessary annoyance that has no place in this game if they plan on supporting it with content long term.

Welcome to the corporate world a.k.a hell 😂
if it's time-gated it better be guaranteed some useful reward, from the video it looked like Hailey BPs, as long as it's garunteed to drop one I don't think it's too bad
korean games never respect your time. you should've known that before you installed the game. that's on you.
This update finally forces me to take a break and come back when they have fix all the problems
I agree with u man, the excitement for season1 were gone instantly, instead of a lot players will play on s1 launch, I'm sure thy will just w8 whn all updates is done, thats if they still have the motivation to play. this was not clear on the road map we all assumed all the contents showed on the trailer will be on the s1 update
So basically I can grind out some progression content a few times a day to make my classes stronger so that in 3 months time, they can get weaker again when the system goes away? Not a fan tbh
Nah that’s alright they probably took that from Diablo 4, where in every new season they introduce a similar system.
The problem they made though is time-gating it.
Gotta stay on that Hamster wheel
"borrowed power" is a very popular mechanic with "season" based games. It helps to keep things fresh between main content drops (expension). There are not many better alternatives
I think the drip feed is bad. Look how it hurt destiny. I’m a long term destiny player that just moved to this game and I hope it doesn’t suffer the same fate.
How exactly did it hurt destiny? Over 10 years it stayed the top in this category so…

Transcendent modules are exactly how I build around...I really wish they would at least release her modules with her...She's going to get researched, leveled to 40, and forgotten about by most players.
I'm hoping it's a mis-translation or something and she's dropping with 1 or 2 modules and getting more in October
So they give you a new character but lock her full potential away for 2 months.......loosing hype
By the time ult frey gets released, people will lose interest in her.
Hyping up the good stuff then announcing that its drip feed content is like telling your kids you got them some really cool presents for christmas, but a day before christmas you tell them that 2/3 of their presents will be locked away for 2 months. The ones they get on christmas day are the soft presents like clothes and the ones locked away are the hard ones like boxes (a console, games etc. You know, the ones they actually want).
They need to release Hailey and her mods together…if they are waiting that long I’m hoping they release them with more options than Luna had
About the line you skipped, I think it's trying to tell us that when you "lock/favorite" an item, you can designate a shape to it instead of all of them being a heart.
Hearts, stars, and horseshoes...
I agree, but I think this is more of a bandaid than a real good addition... each descendant should have a loadout of external components that we don't have to buy separately... if you want a 2nd component loadout, buying an extra could cost you, sure...
Thats what it means , agreed 100% . But its really really disappointing and annoying that they don't fix the reactor/components issue. u stick to the same shit when u swap descendants. fom lepic to bunny and bunny is running fire loadout. u have to press preset after every swap. and if u don't have presets und can mess around with 100ds of reactors and components first....suxxx

They knew what they were doing when they waited till last second to tell us it was getting dripped in. Kinda scummy
The drip feeding was a huge mistake, they should immediately combine everything into 1 update on august 29, like Moxsy said, this is going to push players away rather than keep them engaged. If they do release it all on august 29th like we all expected it to, everything will be fine, but if they stick to this staggered release, IMO it's going to destroy a lot of the trust and good-will they've built up with the playerbase.

did you notice how similar ETA-0 is to xur? mysterious vendor that occasionally visits albion with random products purchasable with an exclusive currency?
I love the void shard and fusion reactor change. I have like 33ish amorphous material built up when I was trying to farm ult bunny piece. The game kept giving me the amorphous I didn’t want or need. It takes roughly 3 ish runs of the void fragments to run the reactors once. The thought of having to run the fragments upwards of 90 plus times to open all of them has deterred me from wanting to farm them out.
It is very odd they are not adding the trader till October 30th. I will have so many dupes itll be wild
So basically the gameplay content includes
- 2 reskinned operations for solo speed running per day
- wait a month for a boss
- wait another month for higher difficulty of old content
Thats the gameplay content? 😢 wtf
This is worse than GTA Online updates 😂
Ult Freyna in 2 months is crazy.
I was super excited reading through the notes this morning until I came to the schedule and was like what the heck. 2 months away for all of the content that I thought was all going to drop on day 1. Really made me frustrated. I'm excited for things to come but I agree that the timing should be condensed if they arent dropping everything all at once. I would personally rather wait another couple of weeks to have everything just be available rather than having to wait.
I personally don't mind the drip feed since I played a bunch of gacha games kinda used to it also my time isn't what it used to be and I can check out some other games, but I completely understand why most everyone else will hate it so hopefully the devs can figure out something to make everyone happy
So, one of the mechanics of these dungeons is that you have to stand in one spot while enemies shoot you? 😂 Good luck to all the squishy builds.
I just want ultra codebreakers to actaully exist. Trying to farm enzo mods is just misery.
I know right. I have a ton of other breakers and analyzers and only 5 ultras. They definitely need to up this. I gave up trying to focus on Enzos trans mods a while a go. I just focus on the materials for crafting.
you ain't wrong man drip feeding is a terrible practice and it's definitely gonna push me away personally that's why i'm so glad space marines is launching right after this update.
1) Time Gating: given the way they described it and its purpose regarding dungeons and infiltrations, I think it is ok even though I also do not like time gating. Splitting up Hailey and Ultimate Freyna along with separating Haley from her modules is just bad.
2) Leveling: no xp/catalyst help is a let down
The time gating choice is weird since it is a free to play game. I have spent money on the game and do not mind doing so. When you drip feed the content, I have plenty of time to do everything because there is nothing else to do.
Give me everything at once and I might actually spend a bit to move something along. There is zero incentive or desire for me to do that when everything is spaced out. I think it is a bad call in general but especially given their monetization model.
ULT FREYNA IS IN OCTOBER WHAT THE FUCK
So no ULt is coming in September??WTF
If they're going to do 3 updates, then they need to make sure there's a full slate of content that makes each one impactful. The next mistake was the release order...everything Hailey should have been in the season 1 launch update. Switch the intercept battle and Ultimate Freyna. I understand wanting Hailey to have her own time to shine but Ultimate Freyna and her story should have been in the Sept update. Moving the intercept battle would make sense since Gluttony just dropped and most players aren't even halfway through the hard mode bosses. I would love to see the % of active players who have beaten 1 hard mode boss.
Also I know the trader may have been a last minute thing, even though there should have been one at launch. But if they can finish it early and launch it in Sept then that would be a big W. I don't mind the grind but most players are not like me and I don't want the game to die before it had a chance to really take off.
1 - The occupation mission being deleted is a W. But why are we keeping the drone that needs shields to move? And the capture points, which is the same as occupation points but that you don't need to be in it which drop the package for you to deliver some place else? What about the destruction of kuiper nodes where you need to sit in them for 15 seconds x 6 nodes? And lastly, barrier defenses? All those mandate people to stay inside a certain area doing next to nothing but scratch their balls, much like the occupation missions.
2 - There are still operations where 240 or 250% isn't even enough to guarantee a 2x amorphous drop. And there's others, like Mystery's End, that forces you to wait on the kuiper nodes part (which ppl use to farm the batteries for energy activators) for more mobs to spawn so you can get the points. Is that being fixed as well, or not really?
3 - For the love of god, either nerf gluttony, buff the ice orbs cooling or rework his wipe mechanic entirely. I do NOT want to matchmake or lfg in world chat just to have a go at it 50x until I get a kill. And while we're at it, don't gatekeep items like peace maker behind such a shitty boss like gluttony.
As for actual improvements, they could rework most missions to be done faster in hard mode so people aren't stuck to just 2-3 missions to farm gold and they could also add catalysts+energy activator materials to a global loot table so we don't have to spend 2 hours doing that every 3 days.
Okay TFD karen
Catalysts and enegery activator can drop from special operations at incredibly low rate
Gluttony is easy. Sounds like a skill issue
No1 said glutomny isn't easy, but it's impossible to do in public. It sucks to wait 30 minutes to find a team to run a boss.@@joejimmy9074
You mentioned like half the mission types in the game... but fuck those fucking drone escort things
220% can get you max score on any operation as long as you play it right, you have to wait for extra enemy spawns, that's just part of the strategy
Every colossus after Obstructor is cringe, but you gotta build for it, and peace maker locked behind Tony is cringe too
I know fully built catalysts can drop at an abysmal chance, not sure about activators, if you're farming ANYTHING, it's very likely you get CC blueprints... EA blueprints aren't hard, run Sepulcer for 077 at 220% a few times, then fight Devourer, 2 hours every other day isn't bad.
Move Haileys Modules, ult freyna and the special merchant to August and combine the rest with the September update and either have it still planned for Sept. or move it to early October. The current schedule makes zero sense. They did listen to the community in the past consistently so let's hope for the best.
Was hoping to see something about the xp grind for weapons and descendants. It would be nice if the merchant sold 1 or 2 day xp boosters. Even if they do not something we can take advantage of for 2 months…
We don’t want our players to finish all the content too early so instead we’re gonna give them less to do on day 1, doesn’t make sense to me. If anything it’s gonna make people stop playing sooner.
The thing with Hailey is really weird. I'm guessing they needed more time to work on her transcendent mods. Meanwhile I still can't get Supply Moisture to drop so I still have plenty to catch up on lol
I couldn't get that for a long time then I gave up. A couple weeks later it randomly dropped from an outpost boss LOL I was shocked. It wasn't even on the acquisition list. This game man. I've gotten half my trans mods from combining hahahaha
@@kevinallen1428 I just got a random Gley trans mod from combining 3 rare and 1 ultimate lol. And I already got 2 of Luna's x.x I have sooooo many that randomly dropped but never Supply Moisture :/
@@kevinallen1428 I farmed Dead Bride for the last two days trying for Massive Sanguification for Gley. Combined modules before getting off for bed and got it from 4 golds, go figure lol.
Modules are the weirdest farms tbh... It feels like you'll never get them if you're looking for them.
you probably won't be able to get her on day 1 because her research items are locked behind specific dungeons which you can only do twice a day. so i bet you need a month or two anyway to get her. so in the end it doesn't matter yet people are butthurt about it.
Already skipping this content as I have nothing left to farm for and time gating content is a big no no for me. Maybe check in for season 2 at end of the year. Game is just boring now and leaves you with nothing to do.
Chances are some of the stuff isn’t ready yet but they know they can’t delay releasing some new stuff for any longer. They probably need a bigger staff. Drip feeding content that is ready is still tons better than rushing everything out and trying to fix it all within a tight time frame especially since there’s probably going to be more QoL updates coming out anyway.
Then just be upfront and say, ‘we’re behind schedule and need some time to clean things up before we can release it’. The choice to drip feed content is always a bad one. I’d rather wait for it all to be ready, at least then they’d be respecting my time
@@s0uth9arkcartman21 problem with that is they know something needs to come out. Saying that we’re behind, we’re gonna have to postpone is an even worse decision to make because the chances of players leaving the game go up not down. Also everyone should’ve expected this with the power of common sense. They’re not going to release what’s not ready especially since season 1 is still starting out pretty strong with Hailey, speed running, buffs, and QoL changes that they’ve been working on that was asked for. They more than likely prioritized that over Freyna but the devs are just not allowed to win aren’t they? I’m not happy about the drip feeding but I’m understanding it was going to happen which means I’m taking this pretty well.
Yea they definitely don’t want another Kyle situation ☠️
@@beastness501 that was hilarious but yeah let’s not have a repeat of that as much as that would amuse me.
From one gamer to another, I agree with you on certain points and disagree on others.
Not everyone has the luxury to sit at home and game all day. Whether it’s kids, spouses, jobs or just random life situations, there should be a balance to all. From a gamer perspective, I want all the content right away but I also don’t want it right away. You’re right, we run through it and move on. Having content to come back to also makes sense as it keeps us engaged with the game. Some of us play multiple games at once and some are solely dedicated to one game at a time. Some of us can grind all day or even invest into caliber to help us progress and others can’t. I believe a MONTHLY update of content/features is fair. Releasing a new descendant with no transcendant modules is no bueno. I agree they should be released together.
It’s great that the devs listen to their community vs other devs that don’t like Ubisoft/Massive entertainment devs with the division franchise.
I believe Nexon devs are moving at the correct pace to create a great balance for all hardcore and casual gamers alike.
I know some gamers are a bit extra complaining it takes forever to farm for example an ultimate descendant but I’m sure they live life complaining all the time when grinding an ultimate character can only take a few hours.
We should all be helping towards the cause of creating a balanced fun experience for all.
With the Hailey augment 2 months away, unless you just wanna get her for MR there is no reason to invest anything in her cause you have to reset it all again once thorse drop. It's such a dumb way to split content. At least, let them drop together so players can have an idea of what build they gonna go for.
I will still upgrade her catalysts like def and hp and will help give us overall levels to account
What is Hailey augment?
@@zorotarded178 your mom
@@zorotarded178 he talk about her "red modules", who will be available 2 month after her release.
Yah this was a giant L. They're supposed to get people amped for the character, and then they don't include one of the most essential parts.
These bad aspects will be the death of this game. This is not the only game on our plate. We have new Ark maps, we have Diablo 4, we need to be able to play this when we have the time to do it. If they put it all out now and we can all play it now, we'd jump on top of all of it. The biggest things that remove people from games is "daily grind". If I can only do two missions and then done, it begins feeling like a job. If you don't do your two runs, you're suddenly behind the curve. You do your "job" or you "suck". If that's how they are planning to release new content, I'm already fading out and we haven't even started the season..
Had they not already set a precedent of giving us a new character, new ult, new boss AND patch notes all at once in the previous update, maybe I wouldn’t have been so hype to recieve everything that was displayed next week. So it was a huge let down not to be getting ULT Freyna for another 2 months
On the other hand, it's good to know I don't have to worry about Ults dropping every month back to back. Moxsy has time for that, but I don't.
They never set that precedent. The road map for season 1 literally showed 3 updates so it was already made clear that certain things will be released during the course of season 1 just from that indication alone. I’m all for wanting things upfront 90% of the time, but unless you want another garbage HD2 situation, be happy that nexon is separating this into 3 updates to make sure that the things being released in season 1 aren’t half baked or overly busted that it will break the game and will need nerfs.
Hot take- I sort of prefer the 'drip feed', maybe not to this extent, I'd rather Freyna be in September and Hailey's modules come out with her, but I still prefer this to getting a bunch of content, then nothing new until season 2 in December...
To be clear, I never said I wasnt cool with spread out content. I trying to say that due to the natural of we received last patch, and the trailers, I was under the impression it would be a similar release. So I was hype to receive all of the content I saw, especially Ult Freyna and I think its reasonable to be disappointed to find out it wasn’t happening til later the. I thought . Aside from that I like the patch and I’m going to play the game regardless cause I’m having fun .
@@N7-ElusiveOne I don't understand though. If you don't have time to play all day like a streamer, why do you care if it is drip fed or not? How does it affect you / what is there to worry about?
The xp farming needs a rework ASAP cuz building a new character is costly both in resources and time, after 7 catalysts and a activator a have one char with a build, but all this took 2 or 3 days, spend even more catalysts in one character to have more "build diversity" is a bland W, it helps but it's not there yet.
So guys am lost where’s season 1 content exactly?
I like that now you dont just "HEART" an item to save it, but you can use different shapes, so its easy to identify my gold drop component or my mod drop component using diferent shapes apart from "heart"
Yeah f**k timegates man... I like the game because I can farm stuff at my own time!
Some good stuff, but I'm going to eventually drop the game due to my rubbish luck with RNG. Getting tired of doing dozens of outposts with Sharen for a couple of amorphous, or far more amorphous than I should have to at a reactor to get a part I want. It is too frustrating.
3 months for 1 seaon for it to be done in 2 weeks is crazy
season 2 starts in december
I love the look of the new character! it makes no sense waiting 2 months to give her her transcendent mods. she will just be unnecessarily weaker and less customizable then other Descendants on release. all the other updates sound really refreshing to the game, I love that we are getting a merchant to get weapon and descendant blue prints from. I spent so much time recently grinding out the parts for the secret garden just being able to buy them even if inconsistent will be great. I wish it was just like hey here's the full weapon but I can understand that they want to keep more of the grind around. the drip feed of content makes sense for a game like this, yes it might be annoying but it will give the players time to figure out the new dungeon mechanics and get ready for the next batch of content. perhaps what they should have done was simply give us the dungeons and character without telling us about some of the other features, then as we got closer to the date they intend to release it they then tell us hey in a week you get a new boss to fight, a new gun to get, and some other goodies. still giving us the drip feed of content but then you don't look at the timeline and go well the thing I really want I have to wait 2 months for which leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
Weres my esiemo buffs?

@@TheCnicus they just want to make sure you cant be carried by your friends or randoms so they remove group play to make you go buy something in the store🤡 thats my guess
@@miavelvet I actually prefer solo and am in the boat of players who like speedrunning dungeons and wish the latter hm bosses weren't forced matchmaking. But im a small percent. I was simply meming the devs indecisiveness on what type of content they want to foces on
@@miavelvet trust me, there's nothing you can buy in the store that'll actually carry you through hard content, all the good descendants are easy to unlock (yes including ultimates, don't waste your money), and the power of your descendants is entirely based off of hours put into leveling them up
I'm on the other boat here. I much prefer content that are accessible both solo and as a group. I do not want to rely on the matchmaking algorithm to find me players who understand the more difficult colossus with wipe mechanics- or getting a lvl10 bunny in Gluttony. Also, i like challenging myself whenever I do more difficult content solo. I truly wish they design this games each future content having an option to do solo or group play.
Perhaps because Hailey's materials will get a low drop chance or perhaps requiere hard mode bosses, and most people won't be able to unlock her in 1 week. I don't think many players are buying descendants from store.
In one of the gameplay previews it looks like her blueprints might only drop from the new daily dungeon they are adding that can only be run twice per day. If that's true then that could really slow down the process of researching her, depending on the rates.
@@NanzoGonzo Yeah it seems highly unlikely you'll get her in less than a week even if you play as much as you can (unless you pay or are very lucky).
Releasing Hailey incomplete is crazy. Ult Freyna, Hailey reds, and the merchant. They could've made the merchant drop in Oct, Ult Freyna in Sept, and Hailey reds drop with her on Aug 29 but no they do this goofy nonsense.
This would be the perfect schedule in all honesty.
you want to know another L?
There is no mention at all about the paint system which desperately needs a change.

Why..
Bro glitched out 😭😭😭
Overall, I don't mind the "drip feed" approach to seasons at all. IMO it's less overwhelming and gives casual players TIME to do the "routine, every day/week" grinding for things like mats to keep crafting Catas and Activators, keep farming for Enzo red modules, keep unlocking and fully cata/leveling new ultimate weapons, etc. HOWEVER, I totally hate the "regular" vs "ultimate" descendants, and it's especially stupid to introduce a "regular" Hailey without any of her transcendent mods until 2 months later! Frankly, I want to build out Enzo, but I refuse until we have an "ultimate" Enzo. I don't even want to waste an Energy Activator on ANY "regular" descendant, let alone fully cata them up and (re)level them 8 times each. Why? Why the HELL? I'm only going to spend that amount of investment in an "ultimate" descendant. Honestly, they need to completely discard this whole "regular" vs "ultimate" B.S. It makes zero sense.

I think I get the shapes thing on the modules
For example, I have like 5 reactors for gley. Enduring, python, piercing, etc. And I always have to check which is which when I want to equip a specific one. I believe they're making it so you can favorite items and assign them different shapes like a square, a circle, a triangle, etc so you can distinguish between similar reactors without having to hover over every single one until you find the one you want

Something to note about void fusion reactors not requiring the fragments unless you use the reconstructed device is that you can now use them to farm for consumable materials. Some of them drop consumables and they are all elite mobs with a few having 2-4 spawns. Will be great for the materials that need a better farm method.
Got the fall semester coming. Kind of appreciate the drip fitting as it works at my favorite to balance world activities and gaming
I don't mind the "Drip feed" for Freyna, It more or less does what people were complaining about when the trailer dropped where they were pissed going "I just invested in Freyna now the ultimate drops why didn't we get more of a warning ahead of time." We just got ultimate Valby she is to hold us over till freyna and this 3 month period is more or less the "Warning." people wanted on if you have not invested and wanna wait you know she is next. Much like how Warframe will tease/reveal a new prime but it does not get released for about 3 months, The trailer is really more just our teaser letting us know the next ultimate that will drop 2 months from then.
I do think a lot of the other stuff could be shuffled around depending, An issue with a lot of these patch notes is you can tell they don't do a great job on the translations causing the meaning of things to get jumbled up. Like if phase 1 the solo dungeons can only be run twice a day for the season progression system but you can keep running it for fun/rewards like the new descendant parts however it no longer gives you whatever currency to rank up your inversion thing I am fine with that cause that lets them tailor the difficulty of the new colossus boss on par with the ranks everyone should be at on its release making it a challenge that will slowly get easier as the next 2 months go on.
however, if its a set 2 times a day and you are SoL if you don't get the drops you want I don't understand what there will even be able to do the first month. You log in do your daily dungeon runs then wait till the next reset? at least if we could farm the new descendant parts you could spend the month messing with her.
The slow drip is going to make me take a break, not necessarily bad since warframe is kind of the same.
Its not the same .... slow content in a game that has 20+ years of content ..... is ok .... for a game that has 2 months of content .... not so much .
I mean, I'm perfectly fine with the slow drip, giving you a reason to come back every month, even if only for a week. And then you also have time for other games this way. Another thing is that they didn't. You would finish the entire season worth of update in a week. It's not that bad.
@@XxZackxX-bl1ydbruh fr, I don’t mind the slow dip honestly. I’m having so much fun with the game rn.

If u played warframe day 1 they went thru the same thing im a day one warframe player and we had alot of content drought till we got our first open world im not defending the drip feed business they got going on but u guys are being way to unfair comparing it to a 10+ game if we support them they can keep thriving like wf and other good looter shooters
They have 13 additions that they've been hyping. From August 29th to Oct 30th, is 2 months. 8 weeks. Give us 8 now, and 5 later, but make sure that what we're given makes sense.
Trying to drip this out won't have the retention effect they're hoping for. People will come in, grind out what little they're doling out, and dip until the next wave.
What I want for the sockets is to be able to switch them freely once the socket has been enhanced ONCE. It seems like a massive material sink to use multiple catalysts on a single slot. It would also save people when they make a mistake and choose the wrong socket type. Remember, that not only do you have to craft the catalysts for nearly 8 hours each, you need to farm their fairly rare materials AND you have to level up your Descendant from 1 to 40 every, single, time. It sucked the first time, it doesn't get any better the 50th time, such an artificial way of padding playtime, which honestly kills the mood to try and max any new Descendants.
I get what you're saying but if you have a powerful bunny and Enzo, farming those activator and catalyst materials are easy and fast. I feel bad for some players that are having problems getting them. I wish I could trade them some of mine. I have more than enough to spare.
Having one catalyst half the cost of every mod would be insane, I agree leveling from 1-40 is a pain, but having catalysts be that strong would make things way to easy, at that point, make every mode have the same polarity
The drip feed annoys me because I'll stop playing and then ill feel the need to rush it and if I miss out I'll stop. This has happened before.
Why forced solo mode? I hate it i play this game in coop exclusively🗿
lol i play solo exclusively, yall randoms suck on these type of games, they had to reduce the wait time for one of the events from 5 to 1 minute because too many people would do them, not me id just go solo mode dont gotta worry about anyone messing anything up like the orb shields sequence no one would watch them spawn in and learn the order so the dev "fixed" it and took it out the game, wasnt broken yall just ass at the game. so im happy a solo mode is added im not happy that its time gated though.
@@DahBananaCannon cool who cares whatever. you can continue playing solo as you already did before and i cant continue playing in coop because this new mode is exclusively solo so this mode sucks and looks like i will completely skip the event.
Considering how low online of the game now the solo option might be the only option soon especially when they intentionally alienate coop oriented players with such decisions
The original roadmap shows each season is spread across 3 updates. This shouldn't have come as a surprise to anyone.
We have just had a new Ult, with Valby. Everyone likes comparing this to Warframe. So for reference, they only release a new prime every 3 months.
Eta0, is being implemented as a result of player feedback. These things take time to program, test etc.
The new descendant being released seperate to her mods. Yeah that ones dumb.
This is exactly what I'm saying, sure drip feeding sucks, but if everything dropped day one, what would we get between now and December?
I see a lot of people complaining about the drip feed of content and as someone that used to play destiny yall would be the same people complaining about not enough content by the end of September if they released everything at once 🤷🏾♂️…….. I’m looking forward to each month having something new to look forward to
Lets examine that statement "used to play destiny" how has drip feeding content worked for destiny?
Yeah, this is a great take.
It's just some of the drip makes no sense.
Hailey augments/Ultimate Freyna in October?
If they did some rearranging the drip would be more tolerable.
ETA-0 not coming until October is a huge let down as well.
Yeahhhh I disagree too I play destiny twice a year cause of drip fed content creating burnout. So I play in the final season and do the whole years content and I play the new expansions....rip expansions
If that the case people will run out of content in less time then until 2 months, doesnt make any sense
It is also the priority is bad. Players want the merchant now, not 2 months from now
Honestly a ton of Ws but that time-gating L is hard to ignore. I know what they're going for, but what actually happens is when people log in for an update, it's just going to feel underwhelming because the updates are smaller. If the updates took 3 times as long, but were 3 times as big, people would log in less frequently, but would actually be interested when the updates drop. When updates are smaller they're just less likely to care about the game in general over a long period of time.
Destiny just started doing this and it sucks, they used to drop seasonal content, which wasn't all that exciting a lot of the time tbh, but a lot of it was front loaded so I would log on play for a few weeks to experience everything and it was fun. Now they split the seasons into 3 "acts" that drop about once a month, and I literally do not care enough to log on. I've put 8k hours into Destiny, hopped on for basically every raid/dungeon on day 1, and hopped on day 1 of every season to at least check it out. With the new "act" stuff it literally took 1/3 of a season for me to immediately lose interest, they dropped act 2 of the first season with this model about a month ago and I haven't even logged on because I already lost interest, because the content drops just feel so small and underwhelming (also I'm kind of addicted to TFD now lol).
Hard to say how it actually affects their profits, but a lot of people will probably lose interest pretty quickly if the updates are smaller.
they really made it seem like everything would drop on Aug 29 with that trailer.
just disappointed. i guess ill login back in OCT/NOV. tbh i wouldn't mind the drip feed if it was weekly or something.
Huge L for delaying Ultimate Freyna, Hailey modules and ETA-0. I don't really care if they "drip feed" the other content like the new boss, new weapon, skins and other stuff... But let us have the major content for the whole season.
The important question still is… do we need 2 catalysts for the same slot? If so that’s bs…. That increases the amount you need to level the unit wtf
Yes, we do. If you Catalyze an M onto slot 1, you need to use a second to also add an r to that slot. Then a third if you want an A. In other words, if each build takes 8 Catalysts to make, you still need to use 16 total. The only thing that changes is the fact you can change each slot on each build setting.
@@SealFormulaMaster that just makes it so I still build every character for one niche… holy I can’t be bothered O.O what a shit system
@@nolifeSnorlaxhow? Not every slot needs 2 catalyst. Your build should really only have to change 1-3 mods to go from bossing to mobbing or vice versa. Like my viessa, I need to change in dangerous ambush for my bossing build then take it out for my mobbing.
@@Curlyheadrae24 That is true, right now. There are 6 different polarities in the game right now (m, r, A, C Star, Blank), and not all of them are useful for all Descendants. My Luna uses 5 of the 6. I may need like, 1 or 2 extra Catalysts, but not all Descendants will be this lucky, especially if we get Descendants that are mixed or stat mods in ability sockets and such. Just imagine we get a +HP -Cooldown mod in the m slot or something.
That schedule is absolutely awful. They will absolutely lose players (myself included) if thats how its going to be going forward.
The slow drip of content is actually a smart move, they know wukong is taking most players, and Space marine 2 is 2 weeks out... they're allowing players time to play those games and still have fresh stuff for us to do after those honeymoon periods are over
Telling you right now. Most players won’t come back, me being one of them.
do you honestly belive this is what they are doing.... so your saying they don't belive in their product to complete 😅
drip feeding is a surefire way to lose players, by that logic then what if a better game comes out?
The most delusional comment here😂
They don't care what other games are out. They are trying to spread out their content so that they aren't constantly dealing with bored players complaining about nothing to do. Also, they have to develop all this content. They don't just have it all ready from day 1.
Braaaa I was so excited for the merchant! Rip drip feeds! I want this content jet blasted!
The fact that all the content won't be available on the day for grinding, the fact that they put a TIME LIMIT on the invasions [I hate this system, just like Moxy hated it in Destiny, I hated it in Once Human], the fact that they took all the content from the season and divided it into 3 parts just to keep the players, all of this is a big NO for me.
Yeah, Yeah, I get it, they want to keep the players, but dividing the content into a 3 month period will only drive the players away, not keep them.
People in copium will say that: 'they didn't say that', they didn't say they would release everything on the 1st, etc, etc.
To me, I call bullshit. Clearly, they want to suck as much content as possible to give time to develop the next content, and to keep the Hype in the game somehow, they did it this way.
If Freya's ultimate, the new boss, and new content weren't ready, and they needed time, why make this trailer? This is just missleading.
What's the point of having Hayley if her modules that really change her builds won't be ready until 2 month? It's like getting Luna, and Noise Surge only coming 2 month, basically killing her Mobbing build, hype is dead, wait for Warhammer I guess.
What are you whining about? They’re running a business…. They don’t owe you anything as most companies would be far less transparent.
@@zorotarded178uh they are predators
bru it's a pve game, go outside or find something that has multiplayer, this game isn't supposed to be anyone's main game. quit bitching jajaja
@@SmokinTonic You and that guy are so full of copium that it's not even worth debating lol, but I'm going to waste my time with you. WHO decided that it's not to be your main game or not? You?
I'm the one who decides if it's going to be my main game or not, as someone who has 500 hours in the game, I want more content for the game, and seeing the devs artificially putting a time limit, and dividing content into 3 months, is just disrespectful, lol.
Answering the other retard above, so what if they're running a business? Is that their excuse to do this kind of shit that people like you accept?
If they keep doing this, they'll just be more predatory companies than they already are, after all, if you don't think that putting catalysts or activators in the store for people to buy with real-life money is a good thing, you're crazy.
They are ARTIFICIALLY preventing people from grinding what they want because of the limit of things you can craft, the time limit on crafting is another one of these systems.
For farming Hailey it will be the same thing, she will drop in invasion missions, and these missions will only be 2 per day... You wait, or buy it. Just like everything in this game.
I don't think I mind the drip feeding, but you point out one that is puzzling: why doesn't Hailey's modules come with Hailey? That's a first. And once an opinion is made on her as people will during the first few weeks, it'll be hard for October to boost her to the point people care (unless she's absurdly powered without a transcendent module).
I'm thinking they might give her one or two modules at launch, then more later.
yeah thats a fat fucking L to space out months apart? im 600 hours in this game and this is what will make me stop playing. needs to be changed
See I’m gonna say drip feeding is a great feature for this game due to the fact it counters the problem of people getting carried through hard content and not gear up while also dealing with how overwhelming the amount of loot there is to get
The different shapes thing means that it wont just be a heart on everything, there will be different shapes to designate different items (So you could use one shape for main reactors, one for reactors with exp buffs etc) to quickly identify the right stuff. This ia a nice change if they had a bunch (10+) of shapes, because it will allow you to quick see which item is for what if you've saved a lot, but without adding a lot, you'll just run into the same problem as now, only a little slower.
"So, rather than splitting into three partial updates, Season 1 will be divided into two updates, one on August 29th and the other on October 10th.
Along with the above change, we have also begun examining the update methods for the upcoming seasons in the future.
In order to do so, our previous 3rd update for Season 1, will be merged to the 2nd update, which as mentioned above, will take place on October 10th."
At least something...
The way I read the stuff about shapes for attached items is that currently all attached items are displayed with a heart but in the future there will be other symbols as well so you can kinda categorize your favorite items
Yeah the drip feeding content hurts. I definitely agree with the idea of let people play and have an insane fun time and come back when they want.
