2/3 of Destiny 2’s Warmind Strikes are reused campaign levels, the third is exclusive to PlayStation

The only new and original Strike is exclusive to PlayStation. These are advertised as new and seperate content, same as they are in the original game. However in the new DLC Warmind two of them are literally just the last two campaign levels, with the third and only original content one being exclusive to PlayStation.

As if it was already bad enough when one of the four campaign levels is just set in an old area of Earth, then the last two are also doubling as Strikes. They did this in Curse of Osiris as well but at least then they changed them up a bit, gave them different dialogue and had the excuse that it was a second run of the simulation. Even then they didn’t literally use the final boss of the campaign as a Strike.

I can’t stress enough that this is advertised as seperate content to the campaign, just as it is in the base Destiny 2 game. In addition this is in a $20USD expansion.

if any clan members plan on doing the new raid lair, let me know. hopefully there isn't some goofy puzzle

Sticky is a bit much

There's a lot of quality of life stuff that's been added too that's just nice to see. Finally dismantling from the postmaster? OKAY BUNGIE I SEE YOU and the new area is wayyyyyyy better than mercury too.

As maybe the only lore junkie here, the story itself is ass (Gods of Mars should've remained the title) and there's some real retconning going on lol. I like the grind they're introduced too if that makes any sense. Its a hell of a lot better to go for all this stuff than it was to run through the infinite forest again and again and again....

The way they introduce and kill off Nokris, the other son of Oryx is fukking despicable. Don't give a character of his stature his own raid or anything. The campaigns added by the smaller DLCs are just enitirely too short to not have background information similar to the books of sorrow the supplement these sort of characters. The way The writers are retconning and refering to stated fact from the Grimoire as folklore is also stupid. Direct code and quotes from grimoire cards is just the very opposite of the definition of folklore. It's making the time and effort of reading some of the well crafted lore of D1 feel meaningless watching it dissolve into this.

Went from having multiple Warminds of equal stature to everyone being a submind to Rasputin because we learned something?

They still haven't progressed the overall story at all instead besides retconning the opening quote of Destiny 1 by reviving the Traveler. 4 Years in, still don't have a origin story dor the traveler or an idea what the darkness is. Game should just be called Tales from the Destiny Universe since the story is just spinning its tires in the mud.

The Nokris treatment was fukking insulting

But the worm god ..... i'm sorry, but you'd think that after killing Oryx, Crota, and pretty much putting time back together after giving Vex all the smoke they could ever ask for that MAYBE this worm god might have something to say us

It'd be one thing if it was "oh its you - run it p*ssy" but its not even that much. This motherfukker doesn't even acknowledge all that

I about threw my controller when Zavala showed up too. The fukk you doing here? And how'd you beat both of us to the spot? Then you got THE Ana Bray talking about "back in my gunslinger days " hell no bungie. not again lol. yet another legend in the universe reduced to holding doors open. i just stopped caring about the story when she magically teleported into a room after i killed a bunch of hive. say the worm stole her power or something - because if she's there first the whole room better be on fire when we show up

but whatever

my expectations can't get lower after ghaul and the never ending bullshyt with calus - like anyone ever asked for that

Datto just uploaded a video showing all the locations of them jokers, so unless you want to find em all yourself, that part's been done for you.

I completed it last night. The hardest part was getting people together to do the Escalation Protocol clears.

s maybe the only lore junkie here,

Nah I'm all in on the lore myself too. I reasoned that we beat someone as powerful as Oryx so a wyrm weaker than Oryx & Akka should have been a cake walk, also he was frozen during all of our accomplishments. I would have liked for Xol and Nokris to retreat and perform a ritual for a power spike in our next encounter though.

And I don't know if you guys are following or not, but Warmind was written by someone that doesn't even work at bungie. He's a writer for the team that made the PC port.



If he was writing this for a year, they must have cut down on a lot the campaign offerings or "writing this for a year" refers to all of the in-game lore(weapons, armor, scannables, etc). I believe the next writer should have a vivid understanding of the lore at the Byf or Wyelin levels before being brought on board.

There's always some goofy puzzle breh.
What we need to do is organize a night to do the strike.
I still don't have the platinum for this freakin game.

The reddits have found one(of many?) possible secrets they loaded into the dlc. New exotic is possibly on the way.

I bought the season pass and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I was finessed from Day 1.

I did too and I'm putting in the hours still enjoy playing it even if others dont I stopped around end November first week December I think and picked it back up in may so I just finished season 2 campaign today

So I decided to play some as my alternate characters and started running the Curse of Osiris campaign, since both of my alts were still level 20 (lets you know how long it's been since I was serious about playing). Man, that is NOT a fun campaign to play through. Here's hoping they eventually do like they did with the first Destiny, and switch up the mission order to integrate all the DLC in with the OG set to form one long storyline mission chain.

Someone posted a small writeup on Reddit a while back that Zavala making being a hypocrite regarding Rasputin at worst, or at the very least EXTREMELY blurry on his perspectives regarding the warmind are a big issue.

It should've been Saladin standing behind that door if anything. Also, turning Ana Bray and Osiris both into talking heads is just....
