Anyone else feel that Frontiers is trying to offer less content

It seems like every time I hear more about this new system, it's just straight up offering less content. For example, this new raid and dungeon change means they're halving the new content we get and are just gonna make us play the same stuff we've been playing. The episodic model has done nothing to elevate the content drought issues that's plagued the game and I doubt the new system will do anything either. Very frustrating to see this when other games with smaller studios and less resources are doing more. We'll just have to see I guess

  • 100% agree. Before we had 4 seasons, each with: 5 new seasonal red border weapons and reprised weapons 2 new vanguard/nightfall/crucible/IB/trials/gambit weapons A handful of world drop weapons 1 new raid one season, a new dungeon the next season, usually a reprised raid the next season, then a new dungeon the season after that. All with new guns. 1 new seasonal exotic 1 new exotic mission/weapon per season Now we have THREE episodes that were SUPPOSED to have better, more meaningful content (just like their frontiers promises) but so far it's been more of the same only with more timegating and the last 3 weeks of "story" consisting of "repeat the same mission over and over again each week." They promised innovation with this episodic model, but gave us the same old sh!t, only less content and less loot. They did increase the seasonal weapons to 10 per episode so that at least means the same amount of seasonal/reprised weapons as before. But we're already getting less vanguard/nightfall/trials etc guns and 1 less ritual weapon, as well as world drop weapons, 1 less seasonal exotic, 1 less exotic mission etc etc. We're also getting less raid/dungeon weapons as we only have 3 episodes. Things are already getting stale, 4 months is too long between new seasonal content but now they're trying to sell us on SIX months between any new story content or meaningful loot. It's the same amount of work and "thought" that went into 3 months per season 4 times a year, but now they're doing it 3 times a year - effectively cutting the amount of actual work/money over the entire year. But now with frontiers it's basically just 2 really big seasons. In their little roadmap diagram it shows the second "content update" just consisting of new activities and artifact mods, etc - zero mention of new weapons. Not to mention only one new raid and one new dungeon. So we're essentially getting only half the content at the same price. Frontiers is a scam. They're trying to maximize their profits by cutting the amount of content and selling it as "innovation." This is their response to losing players and revenue by cutting the amount of time/energy/work they put into the content they make. Less dungeons/raids, less exotic missions, less everything. We play this game for the loot, afterall. Guaranteed the year pass will cost the same as TFS/lightfall/witch queen etc but in the end will have less than half the content and loot as those expansions did. This is the beginning of the end.
