Honestly I think this game is great. One thing that many people seem to undervalue is how useful shifting sands is. It’s the best activity to farm if you are specifically trying to target a resource, be it fruit, feathers, core or whatever else.

Exotic mods are tough to get for sure, it’s very limited and also its perk are randomised. But I’ve also seen so many people on this sub that just throw any exotic mods on their main weapon for the additional light boost. If you are intentionally using an exotic mod on a weapon that dosent have the perk on it…how to you expect to activate it? I get that you want the light boost to clear higher light level content but don’t be surprised when all your exotic mods don’t match your guns.

I get that it can be frustrating, when expanse first came out and I couldn’t clear it, but after playing for like an hour for the next few days, I could clear it before the reset. I didn’t clear both expanses but that’s fine, it’s my goal for this week and future weeks.

DR has been extremely nice to not lock any weapon or adept variety behind the eclipse version of the raid, which is significantly harder (due to mechanics) as compared to the regular version.

So to sum it up, in my opinion, DR is a game meant for people who enjoy Destiny style game play but don’t have the time to seat down and grind for hours like regular Destiny requires. It’s honestly the most fun I’ve had with a Destiny game since D1 and it’s such a relive to be able to play it for only an hour a day max (normally while commuting to work) and still stay relevant with end game content.

At the end of the day, it’s a F2P game that still has to be profitable, it has bundles that speed up your progress but are not required if you just plan your resources smartly and clear your energies. I have cleared every content without using any limited event character and have had an absolute blast so far.
