When the biggest addition to Stasis since beyond light is the release of a new enemy that exclusively uses it.
Stasis is the Gambit of supers.

New enemies being limited to minirhulks and not an entire new faction is very underwhelming. Also even though the new supers look nice, I would've preferred a new subclass or new supers for strand and stasis.
Bold of you to assume I listen to you while playing Destiny. I'm listening to you at work.

When they introduced Stasis they changed the Subclass selector to have spots for three subclasses on each side of the larger center icon which had your current subclass (And the current subclass was greyed out in the smaller boxes on whichever side). When Lightfall came out the subclass selector was changed again to have one diamond with four smaller boxes inside, representing the unused subclasses, and your current subclass in the larger center diamond. This seemed obvious to me that they changed their mind on having a 6th subclass (Any time soon).

The timeline reflections are great. I did the prison break one and I thought the added narration from Ikora really helped. I'd like to hear from a new light about how they feel

"Caybe being back feels cheap" the campaign will probably explain it and I'd bet he won't be back permanently, or he'll be limited to a vendor in the heart. I'd wager he's sort of just the Traveler's effigy of Cayde.
They said the same basic things so many times. They repeated needing to stop the witness over and over and over. We get it. Give us details. And no third darkness subclass? I thought we were supposed to get a third darkness subclass. The new light ones are nice, but still

The light subclasses are pathetic cause we've gotten more substantial updates to those subclasses in literal seasons than in this new expansion
It was announced early this season I think of not late last season that Lances last lines were in game.
I honestly expected them to knock it out of the park given the current state of the game, all a bit underwhelming and it looks like a lot of old locations recycled, I'm not buying the take that's it the narrative either, they write the narrative. Collectors Edition Tower looked great though.
HowI I supposed to make an informed purchase decision when we don't know how much an episode is individually, it says there's a dungeon key included is it 2 dungeons still? Is there still gonna be a reprised raid? And lastly are the episodes going away after into the DCV?
I'm still curious about the leaked screenshot from a while back. That showed something massive after final shape.

My Theory for the 3rd Darkness class is that we get it at the end of the campaign but we lose to the witness however we come back for round 2 in the raid and beat him right before he creates the final shape (Would be cool if the wipe mechanic was him completing the final shape).
I’m not sold. I was more hyped for the new season than the expansion reveal. I’ll wait until reviews come out. I’ll wait a couple days into TFS to see what everyone says about it and if we should hop in and then I’ll see. Also depends on the quality of the raid
What’s the specific purpose you think? Because it really feels like recycled assets yet again.
Thinking maybe the reason we didnt get any info on a new subclass is that we only unlock it after beating the witness. That would mean they keep it under wraps very tightly.
If they showed off some 6th Subclass gameplay I'd have said the Showcase would have been a W. To me its a bit Mid The New Light Supers look good but seems weird if all Subclasses don't get a new Super. Like are Hunter Solar and Void getting one or Just Arc? Seems weird if they just stop at one for each class. And a big L ...

On the adding of light supers, I'm enthused about the new void Titan super. Being Captain American or a shield while being a Void Titan didn't do it for me. Using an ax sounds a little more like the newer Arc hunter combined with the solar Titan super burning maul. Seems a little more fun and powerful.
Stasis needs to be freed from the Beyond Light expansion. It should be free at this point tbh, at least some time during Year 7. Possibly we get new Stasis supers with the 2nd episode: Revenant. Then perhaps a 3rd Darkness element in the 3rd episode or whatever comes after that one.

I'm beginning to wonder if he even watched the video. FYI, Paul, It was already confirmed Lance's last lines were in last season.
This is one of the Destiny showcases of all time!

So Destiny
I think the problem was a big wow moment, cayde returning was already revealed, but that would still be disappointing Witch queen had hive supers Beyond light had stasis Lightfall had strand Final shape had, uhh idk some supers and aspects?

Why you skip witch queen? If you included it, it would make sense as they don't add new subclasses back to back.

Yep, for the first time I will just wait for the review (non-spoiler review to be exact), if it's overall good, I'll definitely buy it, if it's not I'm just gonna see the story via youtube or something.

Yeah honestly it was kind of mid
they have yet to justify making the destination a linear path that heavily relies on old assets, feels stingy considering it's the finale of a supposed saga.

It's linear for the campaign, but then opens up after. They want you to focus on the story.

The supers really underwhelmed me, specially warlock... I'm hoping that after completing the campaign there actually is a new variant of darkness subclasses in areas where the witness morphed the traveler, sort of like taken king. I understand why it was light, but they looked kinda meh to me. I feel like darkness has so much more potential with what they have, specially with the broader idea of what Strand is.

God imagine being slowed by a subjugator and then death gripped by a tormentor. That is nightmare fuel. I hope it happens.

The final reskin.
first time im not getting the dlc. i over it. this abusive relationship is officially over for me.
I love the defense for MORE recycled content. "Its tied into the narrative!" Then don't make it the narrative. Smh.

It’s fascinating to watch people jump mental hoops to justify it.
It would be great thematic ties if we began our journey in Destiny 1 defeating the dark heart of the Black Garden, and now we end our Destiny journey by defeating the pale heart of the "Light Garden" or whatever. I could see that in place of actually fighting the Witness for the campaign final boss.
I hope all new exotic weapons are craftable. That should include SEASONAL PASS WEAPONS
I feel like bungie didn’t plan to add new enemies originally, and tacked them on after light fall backlash. Only reason I think that is because they are basically mini tormentors and just seem very lack luster add on. Same with the supers, it feels like they tacked on new enemies and supers simply because it wasn’t there before and they knew there would be major backlash if those things were absent. Not saying that these things being added are bad, it just has a slight sour taste to it all in my opinion.
I thought the showcase was fine. That's it, just fine. I got excited to see some old and returning stuff like radiance 2.0 and other stuff, but after that i sat down took a breather a realized it was just okay and this is from someone with low expectations. I should have expected that there wouldn't be a new subclass, its a bummer because that leak with red looked so real and then the announcement of 3 supers got exciting. Then its just 3 super and aspects not for all subclasses not for each light class just 3 thats pretty disappointing especially when stasis needs help badly.
Eirs Morn transformed and i thought ok here are the new Hive subclasses...
I do wonder how much of this had to be changed via the drama that happened at the "end" of last season. I think they pulled another secret swap with the red subclass and these new light supers to save it for the "episodes". Keep us around for what's next...

Idk, man. I'm not a game dev, but I find it hard that studios can just easily change stuff as your suggesting. Would they not have FS done by the time Witch Queen dropped maybe? And from then until now it's nothing but polishing in post-production?
This is cool and all, but when are we getting our content vaulted raids, pvp and gambit maps back?
Not too excited. With their "don't over deliver" policy in action, I didn't have too much reason to come back from the showcase.

I was under the impression that we were getting a super for each light subclass for each class, so 9 supers total, but maybe I misinterpreted it

No that will not happen, because if it would, they would have made it abundantly clear and shown it for marketing. Like in Forsaken. 100% not happening.
The crazy part is, I was more excited for the Season of the Witch , than final shape. What the hell, they had a chance to really blow us away with the final shape. Trailer wise I mean. Should’ve had more enemy types besides subjugaters, and etc. And I bet you what ghost says to you is at the end of the campaign, spoilers.
