Question marks over my head reading a few pages since the BA release. I'm not sure how Bungie could have been more transparent with what was dropping and when. You have the month-by-month roadmap for content, and then a date-by-date one for the month. For me the below image did a pretty good job of tempering my expectations on when stuff would come on "release", which is a misnomer in and of itself.
In two weeks time we'll have all 3 forges open, be in the midst of the Dawning and have the new raid to run. With more on the horizon! Of course 'day one' and 'release' aren't going to be as hype as the content drops before it because it's just one fragment of the whole being put out. People wringing their hands about whether the Annual Pass is worth the price or not because Bungie delivered exactly what they said they'd deliver.
