What was the problem of Lightfall?
I played some of the midgame expansions, but found it hard to follow the plot, and so much if the grind turned me off
Some of the worst writing and storytelling that the series has seen. The new subclass was great, but they forced you to beat the whole campaign before you could use it. The campaign gave more questions than answers.
It was just so jarring because Witch Queen and the proceeding seasons were generally well received.
Compare that to Final Shape where the Campaign was amazing and you get access to Prismatic almost immediately.
I still think D2 would have fell off after Final Shape regardless, but I have friends that just stopped playing after Lightfall and didn’t even come back for Final Shape.
Lightfall sunsetted everything I was using that wasn't an exotic. Completely destroyed my build.
