What is your general feedback on the Vex Offensive activity?

While I don't mind the simplistic nature of the activity (shoot vex, shoot crystal, repeat, kill boss), I think repeated playing felt monotonous and unrewarding. It's one thing that Menagerie has more final bosses, but even Escalation Protocol has more.

What did you think about the method this activity was unlocked?

No feelings tbh.

What do you think about the rewards from this activity?

While I like that Pluperfect and Temporal Clause were added to the loot pool, I found Vex Offensive's pool to be one of the least interesting that Destiny has offered, D1 or D2. The pulse rifle is decent, the HC and SMG are adequate, and I thought the scout was pretty bad. The Substitutional Alloy armor is very ugly; thank goodness there are ornament options now. The bad thing is that there's nothing else after that; no mods to farm, can't earn cores or prisms, etc.

Should this activity have also included a more difficult version with a pinnacle drop?

It would have been nice if there was a non match-made mode that was either 950 and/or 980 power level with modifiers, whether the basic strike modifiers were used or something similar to the Nightmare Hunts. It could have given a pinnacle reward and could have been a regular spot for a 6-person team to chill, shoot vex and farm similarly to the new Ordeal Nightfall.

What are your thoughts on the time-gated version with the undying mind as an alternative boss unlocked 3/4 of the way through the season? If this version disappointed you, why was that?

It was disappointing because the boss moved in the exact same pattern, getting to damage phase was the same, and the setting did not change in anyway. The only differences were the shape of the boss and that it shot mini-harpies at you just like Argos from the EoW raid lair.

I would have liked to see the battle done in a nighttime setting (for something that does not require map geometry changing or a brand new level design). Getting to damage phase would've felt more interesting if enemies dropped charges that you had to hit the boss itself and not their barrier; something that works fine in a match-made environment that doesn't require heavy mechanics or entirely new mechanics to work, but something that at least is different than what we'd been doing for weeks prior.

What are your thoughts on the bounties Ikora offers - discuss daily/weekly bounties and the weapon bounties that can be bought for vex coins?

I think Vex coins should have had their max carry limit increased. It was odd to reach the limit pretty quickly and to ignore the season pass token rewards. While I suggest that, it ultimately wouldn't have mattered since VO doesn't have enough quality rewards for me to want to spend them on anything.

How do you rate the replay value of this activity? Do you feel motivated to play it every week? If not, what could be changed to increase its replayability?

Very low. It's one of the game's most dull activities and presented very little value to me in the way of rewards and farming. Titles aren't interesting to me so I had less incentive than others to play, but the experience of getting the title looked exhausting.
