People complaining about Forsaken entering Vault

[G. S.]

I agree, it sucks big time to lose content you payed for but, on the other hand, that´s what we accept when we enter an online multiplayer game based on seasons (I don´t even know if it´s included in the EULA but I wouldn´t be surprised if it is. In fact, I´m sure it is to avoid sueing). The thing is that Destiny 2 is meant to evolve alongside its players and to be an endlessly developing game to avoid repetitiveness and the fact that the game would be 'lost in time like tears in rain' amongst the humongous amount of games that we are offered every day. Could there be another solution to keep all content and evolving at the same time? Maybe, but it will hugely increase the download size of the game and I´m sure that would bring many complaints as well. We could have that solution if Destiny 2 was a completely closed and finished game, but it´s not and I can imagine they are not maintaining support for all content when they have to concentrate on fixing new expansion issues.

In conclusion, vaulting sucks but it´s something we have to accept because that´s how the game is. I know it´s hard to understand for us, old-school players but that´s how nowadays games work and how the whole online system/structure makes sense.

The point is that Destiny 2 is an ever evolving entertainment service. The amount of entertainment offered for the prices asked in return is supposed to remain, more or less, consistent.

But the specific content changes.

If Bungie doesn't add new content, then people complain as the existing content ages and people grow tired of it. If Bungie removes older content to make room for newer content, then people complain that "stuff they paid for" is being removed.

The game is a live-service, content is transitory in a live-service environment. But many people don't grasp that.

I played Forsaken once and never again. Not that I don´t like it (it was great) but Destiny 2 is already a huge game and you can´t remain doing the same thing over and over again. As I said, sadly, it sucks to lose that content but I understand the reasons of removing it and how this kind of games work.

Vaulting Forsaken is vaulting the best Destiny 2 content. It doesn't matter if people still play it or not, the reality is that Bungie no longer can produce content with the same quality (and quantity) as Forsaken or Taken King. Destiny 2 needs to address this whole cannibalization process that is going on. Replacing great content with mediocre expansions like Shadowkeep or Beyond Light really feels like regression.

Yet no other online game (ESO, WoW, FFXIV) does this

[KWAiRT]

I paid for this and my character is right at the start of Forsaken then they moved Destiny 2 to steam. I haven't even played it yet. When I heard they were removing this stuff I decided why even play if that is how devs are going to treat DLC. After all is said and done you can just give me all this new content for free if you ever expect me to play it again. Sorry but as an old school Bungie fan going back to Marathon and Myth I can't these guys anymore. Not to mention when I played the original story the entire world was already set in "expansion" phase so they were giving away spoilers and everything. Overall this entire game is just a write off IMO.

Uhm... both WoW and FF14 have done this exact thing.

I am not that much into WoW, but afaik, cataclysm has changed the world so much that technically it deleted the old world.

@OP: All I have to complain here is, that I would have preferred to delete the dreaming city and keep the tangled shore, but I guess the dreaming city will be important this season or in the Witch queen.

The campaign, the Tangled Shore and both Strikes that are getting vaulted weren't even that great. When compared with D2Y1 it was good, yes, but the best part of Forsaken is the Dreaming City, the Middle Tree Subclasses, the Raid and the Dungeon. And all of those will stay in the game.

Actually all light classes will be reworked, startind with Void for every class with the Witch queen, and what we saw and heard so far, we will only have 1 void tree left then, like we have for stasis.

And the Forsaken campaign is by far the best that D2 had to offer, while the dreaming city strike is the most annoying aka worst, imo.

What? No, they haven't. You can still explore every single zone in WoW, in and out of expansions. FFXIV wouldn't make sense if they removed important zones because its literally integral to the story. Could you pretend to know what you are talking about?

im just glad the two worse strikes are going away this gm sucks so bad

I know exactly what I'm talking about.

If you wanna see someone who doesn't then all you have to do is look in a mirror.

WoW removed some of its original zones and contente when Cataclysm was released.

And FF14 removed the entirety of the 1.0 story line which is vastly important for everything after.

If your game needs to remove content to make space for the next thing, your game is broken and deserves to be pulled from sales.

What I can´t understand and it´s a really bad movement from Bungie is the fact that they still sell Forsaken knowing that they will remove it later. Bungie should stop selling it just at the very same time of the announcement.
