New POE thoughts? (Destiny)

I agree with you in some ways.

The mission is almost comical in its scope. It's quicker and lamer than the level 2 mission where you scan the ship. It's even shorter than Fist of Crota.

The strike I like. I have absolutely no idea what the little messages mean, I just sit in the room and blast the blight as it shows up and take potshots at the boss. It's fun. I like defending the Phogoth room, I like going through some of those moon environments with new stuff.

The levelling system to me seems all right, too, at least compared to last time. Before, we had a small chance of getting the highest level stuff. Now, we have a guarantee we'll get slightly better stuff at each stage as far as I can tell. It's gating us, but in a way that we still feel like we're making progress. If endgame stuff doesn't come at max level, which I would prefer, with the raid gear being desirable because it's good, then this seems like a not terrible way of implementing that system.

Overall, I am pleased. I would have rather paid $20 for something with twice as much stuff as this free thing, but it's not bad.

The things I don't like are the changes nerfing the guns. Luckily, the new high level stuff appears to be quite easy.
