Patch seems rather... small

Oh come on, you don't pay a sub in Destiny and arguably they have more content of substance in that game.

And all of this while slowly reading all text, not dashing and teleporting like a madman, watching all cut-scenes, taking breaks, having my meals, etc.

I call bs. It's taken me all day to do just MSQ, Gubal, Scholasticate, and Hildibrand...

Eh it seemed longer to me than most. Beat the MSQ in like 3-ish hours, did the dungeons, ex roulette, unlocked wondrous tails and platoons, and beat sophia normal mode. MSQ was the best it's been since 3.0, the dungeons looked awesome (though were easy), sophia was fun, looking forward to doing wondrous tails. Going to work on alex normal mode soon, then on to sophia ex and savage later this week. Seems like a real good patch to me.

Same here. bought the apartment, unlocked squadrons and wondrous tails, did the MSQ, Sophia and Gubal. Farmed some challenge log entries and the day was pretty much over. Granted it was 12:00 local time when servers came up.

Content of substance? Have you even played Destiny? There's no substance at all.

...I'm sorry, but what? You get what, one raid every five years? (note that was hyperbole)

Not short to me at all. I've been playing all day and I'm not done yet. Of course, I've been reading the main quest.

By what measure are we gauging the size of the patch? If you're judging by fights, sure it's just a few hours of content. However, if you look at the little QoL tweaks, new tome accrual, wondrous tales thingy, several new tiers of gear, apartments, housing adjustments etc. It's a pretty "big" patch, and should provide things to do for some time. For those who dabble in all the game has to offer, there's plenty of new stuff.

I do, of course, respect that some players may feel short-changed, but have you considered that any content only lasts as long as you let it. That is, if you log in after maintenance with the goal/purpose of clearing everything as quickly as possible, then that's exactly what's going to happen.

That's just my onion served fresh.

I have really enjoyed this patch a lot more than last patch. The Alex fights are fun a few different mechanics equalling a few wipes. I have done Sophia normal and Wondrous Tales and tried PvP duels. That aside so far its all the little QoL changes I am most impressed with.

you are 29 levels above the minimum item level and 14 above the gear you can get from the dungeons... and you expected them to be harder?
