yeah i love how they'll say that they're doing "episodes" when in reality its just one season thats "broken up" into parts.
In fact they're still doing the exact same model as seasons, you get a plot, you do two maybe three missions, and then you wait a week for next plotpoint while dealing with a cliffhanger.

IB GEARS ARE TRASH

Are they aware Echoes is WORSE than other seasons? It is exactly the same drip-fed garbage we've had before!!! And we have to wait 3 weeks between each act? So that's the only reason it lasts longer - not more content, more WAITING? It used to be 10 weeks per season, longer at expansion releases. Now they've just added a month of waiting throughout the season, called it an episode, and charged us more for it?! Pull your fingers out your ears folks, you're being played!

You just realizing this now of all times?
Ever since Seasonal Pass became a thing, or we have to pay 15usd for each season pass just for additional rewards or weapons earlier, or since Lightfall's launch or Beyond Light's launch, this is when you realized the anti-consumer games?

Steamdeck support when

I feel like the time gating is actually not cool. I feel like it's just a season broken into 3rds. I feel like there's this huge open expanse to play in Pale Heart and there are zero public activities to share the fun in doing those things with. The strikes are okay but have already grown stale. The raid has come and gone. Cannot there be more public events with extreme difficulties that just allow anyone to come in and join like there used to be? There's The Dreaming City Well, The Moon public event & Neptunes, they too... have grown stale. Like gambit, strikes, nightfalls, are all just so dated.

It feels like all the hype came and gone and now we're just waiting another 16 days and if that works for some people cool. I'm glad. I am just exhausted of the aforementioned activities and feel like with all there is in The Pale Heart that there could be so much more to do with open public activities. I find that to be the most fun and engaging. You don't need a clan, you don't have to worry about people running way ahead of you or trying to show off and kill as many enemies as possible and never reviving you for 30s so they can get their Champion or their kills. Just fun open public events with lots of fun new mechanics and crazy tough bosses that no one player can simply just blow out of the water no matter how high their level is or how powerful they are it would literally require the coordination of a good 2 or more handfuls of public players.

More challenges and rotating even. Come on I challenge you devs to create something exotic and new! I don't care about new weapons or gear anymore. I just want to have fun extreme engaging events that are just a heck of a show and play out for a good 15 to 20 minutes. That kind of stuff. That is fun.

Onslaught and all that, has grown stale as well. I just can't get excited for much at this point.

I hope there is more in store than they're leading on. I really do.

act 2 ? without me :')

>Game kills all momentum with a 3 week timegate
>This is somehow a good thing

Anyone who was expecting a constant conveyer belt of content is deluded. They just did a massive content drop, arguably the biggest in D2 history, we can take 2 weeks off the video game

GIVE US BACK WHAT WE PAID FOR

This. PVP'ers only make up 1% of the playerbase or something. Imagine if the Vegetarians got to decide what everyone else got to eat and they banned meat.

It'd be the return of the hidden alcohol dens like the alcohol bans in US history, except its meat eating.

More rats please

you must've read the TWID to see that they're nerfing a couple guns... did you also read the part that they're balancing it for PVP and "PVE is unchanged" or did you spontaneously go blind on that part just to rush here and complain?

Are they actually going to start doing that now? Dude that very much makes me happy lol

Been doing it on and off for years... PvE and PvP are pretty heavily seperated now
