I am fine with DLC & cosmetics MTX.Nope. They should not turn this game into a live service. DLC expansions are fine, both free and paid.

The reality is, more money, more contents & cosmetic is the least intrusive form of monetization, & people who don't care do not have to pay more, people who do, will pay more & happy about it, & developer get constistence income source. WIN/WIN.It works fine for titles that are Free to PLay, like Warzone, Fortnite etc. There should be no need for it in a game like this. This game is a return to the pre season pass days and it should stay that way. All we need is a roadmap showing what DLC, free and paid, they expect to deliver over the course of a year.

They don't. They said they were waiting to see how the game does and how the community responds to it.Roadmap? That's Live Service talk. J/K
I don't think even the devs know what's in store for the future of this title. They have said it was designed as a complete package with all the content they intended to release. It would be nice if they added some DLC and made some additions to the end-game. But if not, then this will be a title we play for a while and then move on. Which is fine to me.
It isn't win win. Time spent doing those cosmetics is time lost on meaningful content. That is why live service games have pittiful meaningful content drops but seeming loads of meaningless pay for cosmetics. Division 2, Battlefield 5, COD, Destiny 2 are all great examples of that.The reality is, more money, more contents & cosmetic is the least intrusive form of monetization, & people who don't care do not have to pay more, people who do, will pay more & happy about it, & developer get constistence income source.

Add in the fact that their publisher (Square) seems to be in a state of aimlessness and one can see how this game might just be a one & done affair.They don't. They said they were waiting to see how the game does and how the community responds to it.
So, any significant DLC is several months away.
They'll greenlight it if there is money to be made.Add in the fact that their publisher (Square) seems to be in a state of aimlessness and one can see how this game might just be a one & done affair.
They had a single player focused studio make a Live Service game and even with the hired help of industry veterans from the likes of Naughty Dog and others Avengers failed spectacularly. Instead of letting their studio play to their strengths they pushed them way to far outside their comfort zone. So I don't have much confidence in Square greenlighting anything beyond a small content drop, if we get any at all.
Square needs some serious reshuffling of executives to right the ship.
That is if you assumed the people doing cosmetic are the same people doing content & the cosmetic are high effort, which they are not in the grand scale of things. They could have hired extra people to do cosmetics & used the extra income to have MORE developers making content.It isn't win win. Time spent doing those cosmetics is time lost on meaningful content. That is why live service games have pittiful meaningful content drops but seeming loads of meaningless pay for cosmetics. Division 2, Battlefield 5, COD, Destiny 2 are all great examples of that.
Seems they just dropped a 3.5GB (XSS) update. Not seeing anything on twitter about what it does.
Breaks your game even moreSeems they just dropped a 3.5GB (XSS) update. Not seeing anything on twitter about what it does.
Seems fine solo on my Trickster.Breaks your game even more
Tier 15/9 Expeditions
All that gold? I haven't seen any fall out the Pods yet.
Yep crazy good. It was raining gold.Did three or four Gold runs on CT15 last night and we got about 6 or 7 legendries from them. One run gave us three each...

Who knew the not viable Cycline anomoly build could keep damage pace with a Twisted Rounds build
Such as?I only play co-op & my friend I play with (know him since high school) is playing some other games. So the game is pretty much in the freezer fr now.
I wanted to try matchmaking coop but heard many horror stories. If they change expeidition that you will not lose all progress if you die (solo), I may considered solo.
Why, so you can have the exact same problem.Finally started playing. Finished campign in a few sittings, was fun. But now I’m level 27, expeditions f*** me majorly since I’m not max level, and going back doing side quests barely gives any xp. Meh. May just level another class.
Why, so you can have the exact same problem.
What is your average gear level? If your average gear level is 31 or higher you can do expeditions regardless of only being level 27. I know you can cause I did it with my Trickster.
Just do the expeditions. You'll get like 70 to 80% a level from each completed.More so that I can get some enjoyment out of it rather than going back and grinding side quests for 500 exp just to get to the endgame grind.
I’ll take a look at it later and see though.

The end game grind is what these games are all about.
