Datto's First Impressions on Lightfall

I have played the campaign in a 3 person team on Legendary difficulty. I have done most of the steps to get the exotic glaive. I have experienced a good amount of Neomuna. I have played Berserker Titan for Strand. I have not messed with mods as much as I want to, nor have I re-built my armor sets. With all that being said, let's talk.

The disconnect for me is that the whole vex side story on neomuna was the perfect way to get to know the cloudstriders and they just weren't there at all

The trailers made me feel like this was going to be like mass effect 3. The reapers are here, we've been preparing the galaxy for this moment, stakes couldn't be higher, and everyone in the galaxy knew that. It was serious mode. Yet aside from the beginning cutscene showing off how powerful the witness is, it just felt like a big nothing burger. It was just, like you said, extremely unfocused. Also, anyone notice how no one knew what strand was, then out of nowhere, everyone called it strand and started talking about it like it's been a thing forever

@oksobasically3278 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, even the Cloudstriders or Neomuna never got a proper introduction to the characters and they got started using the terms of Neomuna out of nowhere, just became besties with Cloudstriders and we didnt even know what they were except they are big and strong and dies in 10 years. I was surprised by the lack of Ghost being surprised at things, I thought some voice lines would have them compare the Last City etc

@Fir7shadow Жыл бұрын

Best way I've felt to describe it is like we're getting the bullet points for a filler arc. Also, there's lots of things that bug me about the story, but why the hell didn't we have a cutscene for entering Neomuna? Perfect opportunity. Have us jump in the Cabal drop pod, and swap to a cinematic where we breach the clouds, cut black, impact, fade in as we pull ourselves out of the pod to see this magnificent city laid out before us as Calus's flagship makes its descent.

The end of the Lightfall campaign is as if in Halo 3 after destroying the last Covenant AA gun in New Mombasa, you get the cutscene with the Prophet of Truth leading his fleet into the Portal to the Ark, and instead of all the missions afterwards, the game just ends and you have to wait another year to know what happens afterwards.

Every campaign mission after the first I would say “do we get the subclass in this one?” Over and over and over. Constantly checking to see if it had appeared in my subclass slots. During one mission Osiris even says “this is the final training” and I was so happy… only for it to be like the final training before the ACTUAL training. As someone who was more excited for a new subclass than the story this felt HORRIBLE and probably ruined the experience for me :/

I think the reason some people (myself included) dislike how the campaign forces you to use strand is because in solo legend, it's basically taking away all your survivability tools and forcing you to use something against your build. Going from playing something tuned for high difficulty solo play like a void hunter or solar titan to the strand versions feels pretty bad if it's just you on the field.

Here’s the thing with Fynch, he literally came into existence not too long ago so he is pretty much a child who just wants friends. Look at his reaction to receiving dawning cookies, that’s why he never bothered me personally. Also WQ introduced maybe the biggest shakeup in destiny’s history with Savathun taking the light and creating her own guardians. The witness wants the traveler, but we’ve met several enemies who’ve wanted the traveler so to me it doesn’t quite feel as much like an “oh shit” moment. Keep in mind I haven’t played the campaign yet, I’m still debating on whether to buy it or not

Playing the campaign on solo, I can assure you Calus phase 2 did not feel like a joke. I guess it's the fact that he has to focus on multiple guardians when you're teamed up, but solo phase 2 felt like a constant struggle to get away and find windows to inch out damage, combined with the constant Psion spawns taking even more of that time. It is very scary when he two-shots you and dying here means you have to slowly chunk his first phase down again.

The solo experience of the campaign seems in many ways, at least to me, a polar opposite to playing with friends. I found the lightfall legendary difficulty way more forgiving than Witch Queen so I found myself actually enjoying the contents of the mission instead focusing all my attention on solely not dying. The only exception to this was every time strand was a compulsory part of the mission. I find it so bizarre that Datto thought that getting strand in the campaign was the fun parts cause every time it was given to me I felt like a piece of paper waiting to get torn to shreds. That vex training simulation felt like a huge callback to the Witch Queen campaign again where I couldn't enjoy the mission and instead had to focus on solely not dying. Thankfully getting fragments after the campaign solves this and strand becomes pretty fun. As for calus, again another opposite to playing with friends. Soloing him is ridiculous at times especially with the double tormentors during the middle of it. I haven't done the campaign multiplayer but I imagine its a much more fun experience overall.

@JMD3M410 Жыл бұрын

Tried playing myself today and it’s stupidly hard and I hate strand. 7 times out of 10 I’m literally falling off the map using the strand grappling. I don’t like it at all.

Set up some psion or fallen snipers, some legionars or servators acting as support, cabal air support, then the final boss roles around, summon a cabal tank, or fuck it, mithrax or caitial for the finally.

I believe the radial mast was suppose to be a light-based link to the traveler, which is elaborated on in the mission where we storm callus's ship shortly and then never mentioned again. The reason the ghost works to establish the link at the end of the campaign is because it is also, a light based link to the traveler. It feels like a pretty cheap cop-out of an ending and it also raises the question of "what the hell would calus had done if we just didn't show up? Wait for a new one?". lol

@WAR3NUL15T1NN Жыл бұрын

Honestly thought they need some serious adjustment for solo, because the strat seems to be kiting them with their high health pools (along with immunity from DOT and explosions before pauldrons are removed) and keep them at range. You can't really challenge them close because of the "finisher" they can execute and almost kill you even with high resilience as well as suppressing you out of supers and removing jump ability (this is especially punishing when levels almost require double jump or grapple to evade tormentors in the first place). Range attacks are annoying but easy to avoid if you remain mobile, but I never felt like I was enjoying an encounter with Tormentors. I always felt like I was running..... like all the time. Remined me of the Calus fight especially in phase 3.

I will admit, after fighting them on any other class that wasn't Hunter they are slightly easier (mostly in terms of survivability), but regardless, they aren't really that fun to play. They remind me of unstoppable champions (if you couldn't stun them). Face tank a ton of damage and never stop chasing you. You literally can't back petal and shoot them at the same time safely (when enraged). You have to turn around, find another place to set up and do some minimal amount of damage. Bigger arenas lessen this effect, but you are almost never alone against a Tormentor.

If you haven’t played the final battle as a solo you should it really is a different experience than as a team. Also we’re you mention that calus felt weak, I think that was on purpose.

When hearing the details about Lightfall, I honestly thought the story had a huge theme set up about life and sacrifice. The cloudstriders choose to be protectors and then have a time limit to live. The time they have is dedicated to protecting Neomuna and its people at the literal cost of their lives. Compare this with the guardians, who were chosen and mind wiped (technically) but we still choose to protect our home. Then we have Osiris, who was once a guardian and lost his friend and ghost Sagira, when overestimating his enemy. Now, with these characters, all coming together, at the same time that Neomuna is discovered and invaded, as well as the traveler being attacked, you would think that these ideas would be heavily explored. Destiny has done it before with other themes. I guess I'll have to see what the season story holds

The entirety of the Witness/Calus storyline was birthed from an exotic mission. Bungie has several ways to move the story along over seasons.

After watching the cutscene at 18:36 again, why did Nimbus take so long to retrieve ghost?

Follow-up question: Why the dramatic rescue that seemed to be communicating Nimbus was being heroic if it accomplished literally nothing?

I don't doubt Bungie's ability to make final Shape a satisfying conclusion, because they definitely can, witch queen is proof of that, but I am wondering what went wrong with Lightfall's campaign. For me personally, I felt that strand was too big of a focus and it ended up hurting the story more than benefiting it. I also felt that the campaign was too short. In Witch Queen, we didn't just do all 8 story missions, there were interlude quests like the pools and other things that extended the campaign while also adding onto it in a positive way. In Lightfall, it's pretty much just the story missions and the one strike and that's it. I'm enjoying the party campaign story stuff and activities, but neomuna definitely doesn't feel as exploration worthy as the throne world and certainly isn't as big as the throne would or Europa.

I actually disagree, feedback on past DLC's was pretty set on the fact that people didn't want to do patrols and bounties in the middle of the campaign. Lightfall lets you just buzz through all the campaign missions back to back, minus the strike that's basically just a campaign mission (with campaign levels of lore drops) that they formatted to be replayable. I 100% felt that Lightfall campaign was too short, I took my time exploring and seeing the visual art, and it still only took about 5 hours. TWQ for reference was a 12 hour completion for me, and I run both on contraverse warlock. And re: patrol space size+activities, we're still in week 1, we still don't have the post raid content. We know there's probably more coming next week too (based on the time gated fragments). I felt that Neomuna's patrol was bigger than Throne World and WAY bigger than Europa, it's just that Neomuna doesn't have that much on the "secondary" zones. Each of the three main areas are massive, but only the current vex invasion zone with the glorified public event feels populated enough to warrant the big space.

I think the expansion feels not only rushed but like it was built to sell Strand as the main attraction rather than story first and look, new subclass! Like the Taken King was. Beyond Light sold Stasis, but Stasis was explained, it had a purpose to the story and its origin was explained. Strand is Strand as far as I understand it. Where did it come from? Why is it there and why do we see it? What is it exactly? Shrug, beats me.

I think Bungie kinda flucked Witch Queen campaign. I hope it wasn’t that and that this is just a hiccup.

Thank you for the video. I know nothing about Destiny and it's lore, I just got interested when I stumbled into The Witness cutscenes and immediately fell in love with the character's design. Then, suddenly, I get to know that the Destiny campaign story got a huge backlash from the community, a lot of negative reviews and whatnot. I don't believe such things right off the bat and wanted to really get to understand what all the fuss is about. This video cleared up quite a few things for me. I'm glad to see that there's nothing wrong with The Witness themselves, but rather the other aspects of the Lightfall campaign story.

The end of the campaign felt like all I did was finish the opening cutscene and when we got to Neomuna, the very first thing we did was touch Strand, y'know, the never before seen interconnected matrix-like Element that we "discover", but also casually see all of a sudden when we get to Neomuna because of... not even reasons

I think you hit the nail on the head in regards to buildcrafting. It feels like they took all the imagination and creativity out of it. Yes they moved things to the seasonal artifact and yes that means we’ll have to focus more on that as our means of real builds. But that’s it, builds now completely rely on that. There’s no depth to it outside of WHATS IN THE ARTIFACT THIS SEASON OMG. But who knows, i’m probably just biased because I miss maxing my stats out on my hunter 😂

And with the new seasonal artifact you basically don‘t have to try to incorporate the mods because they‘re already applied by just unlocking them, taking the buildung part completely out of the equation

i loved the tormentors but found their fear factor faded when i realised blinding grenades pema stunned them. if they could make them immune to cc effects or at least just blinds it would make them much more fun to fight imo. I deliberately stopped using cc on them so i could have a more fun experience and it really showed. made them much scarier and much more exhilarating to bring down.
