Week 2 of the Thunderlord Quest is out. In short: Complete 4 lost sectors, wait til reset.

I was excited for Festival of the Lost this year. Forsaken revived my joy for Destiny for the first time since D1, and I thought the new festival of the lost would be great. A Murder Mystery Quest! It sure sounds exciting. But what we have done but the same things we were doing before the Event?

Haunted forest is great for what it is. It was new, and themed, and granted you access to an event exclusive weapon. This part was great. But thats about it. The actual "murder Mystery" has been lost to me. You get the journal pages, which you cannot even read, to find clues. In reality, you are finding x number of x, then waiting for a reset. How is that a quest where you are solving a murder? I understand why there are time gates (debatable) but to sell it as we are solving a murder feels wrong. I have no investment in the murder, and nothing in game making me care. I'm a mindless guardian doing what he is told.

On a lighter note, this was funded by Eververse (or so we are told) so its a neat free thing to earn an exotic. Granted its an exotic we had taken away because when Ghaul came all the old guns just ran away. The theme changes at the tower are cool, and the Haunted forest has potential that I think expands past this event. However, seeing that this quest seems to be leading right up to the Black armory, seems like a clever way to try and get people on the Annual pass.
