This year, Destiny has flown blind. Bungie has failed to set players' expectations and the impression is one of indifference. That, or the developer is simply keeping schtum about the road ahead because there is so little to talk about. There was no DLC plan announced for this year, but there was still an expectation DLC would come based upon last year's schedule and a long-ago leaked plan that suggested this would be repeated. And also, most importantly, because Bungie never told fans anything different. Bungie does not exist in a vacuum - it knows which of its plans have leaked and what Destiny players expect. But it took until the time players expected this year's first DLC to launch (a year on from December 2014's The Dark Below) for someone at Bungie to speak up and say - actually, we're not doing that, we are doing something else, do calm down.
Plans change, and fair enough. Bungie reportedly scrapped this year's DLC schedule in order to focus more fully on Destiny 2, which required more time - although Bungie has of course said nothing on the matter. What it has done, however, is sell vanity items to keep the money rolling in, while events and smaller updates of new missions roll out for free in reward. That was the idea, anyway, but after a low-key Halloween mask affair and a limited-time Sparrow Racing event that was more of a beta for a fuller future offering, Destiny's community is asking - loudly - when those new missions are coming.
