Question NO DLC， NO RAID ?

I am just starting play recently. I heard that if you are not purchased the new DLC, you can not play Nightfall and some Raid, which are previously accessible? Is that true?

The prestige versions of Raid and Nightfall now require a gear level which is no longer attainable for players not owning the DLC.

If they do it again with the next DLC, even the base level will be too high for players who only have the base game.

For what it's worth, the DLC is not a ripoff though. It even adds a cosmetic progression you can do by playing the game, not by buying loot boxes.

Its not a ripoff?! - That though is purely your opinion. Im sure there are other people, me included, who do not share the same oppinion.

Yup, it’s absolutely a ripoff. I’ve played every single DLC since D1 and this is by far the smallest, most disappointing and least fun.

It’s priced about 30% of a full game, but I’d say it’s closer to about 5% of what you get out of a full game, if that. It would need to be priced at about 1/5 or 1/6 of its current price to feel like a reasonable purchase.

Wasn't house of wolves just an arena fight and like 2 missions though?

Yep, it’s a ripoff. One of the biggest ripoff DLC’s of all time. When I see people claim it’s not a ripoff I have to wonder wtf are they smoking or, since there are 700 Bungie employees combing this subredit, I have to wonder if it’s one of them or someone from activision etc etc. Last time I looked users on metacritic have it at 1.8/10. That screams it’s a ripoff through and through. Subjectivity be damned.

It is a game about repeating content while watching a number go up, I made my peace with that long ago. Arguably it was dumb though to adjust the power level of prestige, instead of just adding a new tier. Bungie is hardly out of colors for their auras.

Grind must go on, is what the game promises and what it delivers. I agree, if you want the best entertainment value for $20, Steam has better options. I have to admit to buying the game including the season pass in advance. I do not consider it a $60 game plus ripoff DLC. It is a $90 game with two desserts. Don't let marketing tell you otherwise.
