If I had to sum this season up with one word it'd be: Mediocrity.
Drawing a line in the sand and saying this season covers the seasonal story (obviously), the drops and the exotic mission, the raid launched imo with lightfall rather then season of defiance.
That being said, sheeesh, this season was kinda mid all up, battlegrounds for seasonal activity make for the dictionary definition of recycled content, and are fun the first like 5 times you do them after that most of the shine is gone and it then becomes hella monotonous and boring.
Seasonal weapons were just laughable besides the swords which weren't even really the seasonal weapons just weapons brought back from season of opulence. And don't even get me started on vexcalibur, as a weapon it's omega dog water due in part to being a god damn glaive.
Now I will say, design wise the exotic mission was fantastic, I love the vex aesthetic. Of course every positive has to have a negative so imagine my amusement seeing that doing the exotic mission on legend doesn't yield all the intrinsic in one run you have to do 3 separate runs. I don't mind doing an exotic mission once on legend and get everything for it, but god damn nothing would make me want to do an exotic mission 3 times on legend.
Seasonal story sadly just ain't all that at all really, was hilarious when Amanda died and it was framed to be important - slight lore drop, I started with season of plunder - and was framed as something to care about, even the people who had been playing for a while didn't seem to care much at all really.
I'm just glad that as of right now bungie has learned their lesson, and hasn't put out something this mediocre again.
(Marked as unfinished cause I didn't get all the triumphs or everything else done in the season.)
