TieGuyTravis’ Destiny Rankings: ⁣The Edge of Fate Expansion

TieGuyTravis ranks each Destiny expansion ​since the‍ series’s conception.

The real issue​ with The Edge of Fate is that even if I did feel compelled to⁢ hunt ‍down the new gear available, the ‍insane, painful grind to do so is in no way worth the effort required. Once you’ve ​completed The Edge of Fate’s campaign, you’re directed towards various playlists containing ⁤old content that you’re‌ asked⁤ to replay over and⁣ over again,⁣ slowly upping your power level until‌ you can complete activities that grant higher tier‌ loot. What’s more,even these high level activities are just pulling from the exact same legacy content that has already been‌ one of the main ways you’re expected to ‌engage with Destiny 2⁤ for years now.I was truly shocked to find that after I’d rolled credits on the new story, I⁢ was almost immediately loaded into a⁣ story mission from 2021. The new⁤ loot system has basically turned ​the endgame of Destiny 2 into an almost endless hamster wheel were you’re force fed the old content made arbitrarily more tough based on the world tier and modifiers in play, all so you can get ‌slightly better versions of ⁣existing weapons that have little ‍use beyond (you guessed it) grinding more difficult versions of those same activities.⁢ Destiny has suffered through some pretty egregious grinds over the years,but this might just be the⁣ most brutal and ill-conceived ‍one yet,and it almost immediately made‍ me accept the fact that I’ll likely never have any high tier items until they decide to respect my time.

The⁤ final ⁣activity on‍ my checklist before slapping a final score on this review is to ​play the new⁢ raid, the‍ Desert Perpetual,⁣ which at the time of this writing was only very recently beaten by the ⁢Destiny community’s brave ⁢day-one ⁤raiders. I’ll be⁤ hopping in ⁢shortly to see what ⁢pleasant surprises, if any, are to be ‌found. For ⁢now, The Edge of Fate strikes me as incredibly just okay, ​with some new experiments that don’t always work, a neat story attached to a weak campaign, and some cool ​tweaks to the loot game that are hidden behind the​ most monstrous and boring grind destiny‍ has ever⁣ had.
