Looks like yet another "Inconsequential story" expansion... (Destiny)

But at least it looks more fun-focused than the previous two expansions in D2.

Don't know where that assumption came from? They said that next week will be the story reveal and that the main release will be story focused.

DeeJ stated that he wanted to set people's expectations on this expansion lower, because there wouldn't be as much of a cinematic focus as previous expansions (fewer cutscenes and such), as it was more about the gameplay/grind.

Pretty sure Deej was only talking about the stuff coming from the new Season Pass thingy. I'm not holding my breath for an amazing story in the yearly release, but I do think it's important to be precise in our criticisms.

He was definitely talking about the Season Pass, not Forsaken. My hope is that this allows the cinematics team to do more in the annual releases.

Could have sworn that he was talking about that before diving into the season pass.

Nope. The Annual Pass screen was up when he spoke about that.

Which also reminds me. Will this expansion be included in the Year 2 season pass, or is that something that we have to buy on top of the expansion itself, as if it were a full release? And what's happening to the Live team?
And what are the Microtransactions paying for?

Still waiting on that "conversation".

Haven't read the rest of the thread, but the prices are live. Expansion is $40, Annual Pass is $35, and combo is $70. As of right now the expansion seems worth it, the Annual Pass is questionable until more details.
