Path of exile strokes old content - shows Destiny 2 but how to do that right

The Hack'n Slay Path of Exile throws five years old content from the game with the next patch. They have become outdated and boring. In the MMO shooter Destiny 2, the removal of content regularly leads to criticism, but at the Hack'n Slay, the deletion of the extension of general cheers triggers. What's going on there?

How is Destiny 2?

At Destiny 2 is now regular content from previous extensions from the game: whole zones and story lines are hiking in the Content Vault. Bungee means that you have to do that. Because no Destiny 3 comes, Destiny 2 will be too big and spree the frame. The online shooter was not designed to be developed and growing over 4 years. The loss of Content annoys many players at Destiny 2, because they say: they have paid for the content, but they can not play anymore. In addition, the story is no longer comprehensible.

This happens at Path of Exile: With the patch 3.17.0 in January 2022 you will remove the systems of extension Prophecy from the game. It is said that the extension from 2016 now feels outdated and be overtaken by new extensions.

What makes Path of Exile better? Path of exile does not just strike the content so, but sorted out.

A whole series of unique items are now no longer exciting and takes them all out of the game. Other items are redistributed and leaves players to get them on other species.

What is the reaction? In contrast to Destiny 2, the reaction to the change is predominantly positive. The players seem to agree with the developer team that much of the extension was now boring. The players are therefore happy to no longer have to carry out the mechanics of extension.

You are already considering what annoying mechanics you want to get rid of.

That's behind it: At Destiny 2, it looks like the contents as a whole is taken out of the game: This creates huge gaps in the story. But bungee does not seem to disturb that. Path of exile makes the more differentiated. Man gets the good sides of the old expansion.

It also makes it obvious a big difference whether the developers only remove systems or story content from a game. Whether a Free2Play game is removed free content or whether to fly out content that you had to buy as DLC for money before, is obviously relevant to many.

The systems in Path of Exiles is closely related to the concept of parasitic systems : If a game over the years adds as many new systems to a game that can be further improved its character, they partially can be annoyed.
