Within the wake of Bungie’s Say of the Sport closing week, talking primarily about why they weren’t diverting resources to locations relish Gambit or Crucible, and why it’s not rate it to compose issues relish free ritual armor fashions, the team has…started doing math.
There are a amount of consuming and disconcerting totals here that tag actual how worthy Future 2 has lost over time, both by project of free-to-play and paid affirm. And past that, stepping into microtransactions, the proportion of paid to free affirm.
This overall checklist is from u/Crusader3456, and whereas you would possibly perchance well moreover read all of the article here, these are the immense totals:
4 Campaigns (depraved game, DLC and expansions)
9 Strikes
5 Raids (and Lairs)
8 Crucible Maps
2 Gambit Maps
6 Destinations
15 Seasonal Storylines
2 Events
17 Seasonal Actions
3 Habitual Missions
27 Habitual Habitual Questlines
1 Tribute Hall
Also fair not too lengthy within the past, the current “free-to-play” infographic has been circulating across the Future team, and I took the liberty of crossing out every part that used to be lost. A lot of that is above, but for free-to-play affirm on my own it’s:
3 campaigns (Crimson Battle, Curse of Osiris, Warmind)
3 seasons (Forge, Drifter, Opulence)
Year 1 Raids and Equipment (Leviathan and Lairs)
Trials (now want most up-to-date growth to play)
Crimson Days (okay, can’t mourn that one too worthy).
Future 2
Bungie
There had been some replacements here, just a few current free, reprised raids, the Prophecy dungeons. And the worthy shorter Shaw Han questline has changed Crimson Battle as an intro. But some distance more has been lost than won.
Inspiring over to microtransactions, we’ve a irregular kind of checklist.
Per season, we’ve a paid Eververse space from the launch up. Then we’ve but every other paid Eververse space every seasonal vacation at the cease of a season. Then we’ve ornaments finest available by completing the 100 depraved $10 fight paddle.
That’s Eververse, but we’ve paid growth fashions, paid seasonal fashions, raid fashions, and dungeon fashions. That leaves actual one aged raid space, Solstice fashions (the non elemental-glow model) and as soon as almost right this moment current Iron Banner fashions as the finest free ones per one year. Right here is why avid gamers are upset that a single current space of formality armor (which is reskinned across three actions this present day) is supposedly too worthy work to be added yearly. We’ve moreover lost issues over time relish free Faction Rally armor. We moreover former to safe legendary armor ornaments that were earned, and those no longer exist at all.
Future 2
Bungie
Eververse’s immense totals of the amount of issues it sells overall is sizable. Armor space ornaments, particular individual legendary armor ornaments, irregular weapon ornaments, irregular armor ornaments, ghosts, sparrows, ships, transmat outcomes, emotes, ghost projections, shaders, transmog forex. Dozens and dozens of issues per season. Now, past the retailer, we moreover maintain Deepsight activators within the paid allotment of the fight paddle as smartly, one thing that at as soon as impacts gameplay, not like these other cosmetics.
It’s loads. Paid issues which had been deleted. Free-to-Play affirm that has been eliminated. Free affirm that isn’t added. Paid affirm that actual keeps multiplying. It adds up. And here we’re.
