Renegades is "drawing inspiration" from Star Wars by Bungies words. Yet it looks like it is just Star Wars with a Destiny skin. This franchise is in my eyes, at least in the current hands, creatively bankrupt. The Ash & Iron "major update" shows clearly Bungie doesn't understand anymore what made Destiny 1 such a success and what makes Destiny Destiny.
This is likely the end. It was fun while it lasted.
Edit: On a further note, I am glad Lance Reddick (Zavalas OG Voice Actor) doesn't have to witness this decline. He would be ashamed what the game has become as a player himself.

In d1 waking up and being thrown into action, developing a character. Feel of play. D1 was fun in that it was simple. "Live service" has made d2 too complicated and drifted away from simplicity, even in vanilla d2. The portal tried to make the game interface simple but made it more sluggish than vanilla d2. Having to slot strike mods in nightfall cards was removed in forsaken. Edit: D1 didn't "[i]grade[/i]" us either did it?
