    Willing to pay from Season 2?

    Simple question, are you willing to pay for season content from season 2?

    My answer: Not sure. It feels like I would be paying for extra items, season cache, and activities to work towards a guaranteed exotic. How is this different from paying for these items?

    - The activities are lackluster. Polarity is a bit of a joke play with colours for kids. Time race is lame and full of cheats.
    - The whole PvE endgame feels like a mess with nothing to play for.
    - This game isn't a PvP game either.

    In the end, although there are some beautiful things about this game, it lacks the diversity and engaging gameplay for PvP.

    The direction to try to engage people in PvE endgame is going to fail in my opinion. Endgame should be about utilizing best gear and skill. PvE is not really skill intensive and people in the end like competitive edge in playing PvP. NPCs, no matter how clever or DeepMind you make them, they are dumb and pattern based.

    Loot-shooter should be satisfying hack/slash type of action RPG. It is too easy to get good items in the game and all the glitchers and DPS cheaters have ruined it.

    You can't expect people to keep paying and playing this game season after season for exotic caches and annoying activities. It's not challenging, it's f-ing annoying.

    I leveled up to 670 SHD with control points and missions at Heroic level. Level 2s and 3s are playing legendaries with the DPS glitch, and the "Joe" down the street is SHD 1000+ with target practice.

    There is no sense of accomplishment in this game and very little reason to keep playing vs dumb NPCs.

    Learn about itemization from Diablo PoE, and coop PvP from games like Overwatch, and please act fast. I don't see many people willing to pay for season content, which I believe must be the end game content.

    I will not buy the second Season Pass, as everything I obtained thanks to the gifted first pass via the premium track of the season was just meh. I don't need hundreds of caches with mats. I am always at cap anyway. because at level 40 crafting is just not worth it.

    Just to make things clear:
    With the Season Pass you do only buy the Premium Track of the Season's rewards. You still get the free track, well, for free. And of course also the Global Events, Manhunts, Leagues etc. - and thus the exotic caches, if you choose to participate in any of those activities. But they are not part of the paid pass, they are free.

    Aha.

    So, the seasons will be divided into free and premium tracks from Season 2.

    Which part of the current season is the premium part?

    You have to go to the overview of your Season's rewards - where you can see what rewards you will receive for each of the 100 levels. This is the track I was talking about - the rewards above the line are the free ones. The ones below the line are the ones that come with the paid Season Pass.

    I came home from work with less than half a day left to try to get the daily targets done for the current polarity global event..... unscheduled maintainence.

    I will not be paying for something i will likely not be able to get the most out of in the future.

    As it stands, it's a hard pass. This game is a lot worse than i left it many months back. By a good amount too. They completely jacked things up and learned 0 from the past mistakes in terms of content, longevity, etc.
