awesome awesome awesome! cant wait!
I don't think so. That comes if you buy TTK. So not until its release.
I love this so much.
Here I was, waiting for September 15 to hit, but the fun really begins on September 8
Exactly! On Sept 8 I'll be deleting one of my barely started characters and starting the story over from scratch! I can't wait to experience it in its new form with the new quest system, new ghost voice, etc!
I most certainly am!
Don't do that (unless you really want to level grind again). Apparently there's gonna be a way to re-experience the main quest line as if you started over.

A lot of good things are happening with this update.
As far as bounties are concerned, who cares...
But are you saying you can't play Trials of Osiris anymore unless you buy TTK...??
Me too!!
Is this something you need to buy TTK to gain access to?

Bungie specifically said they don't want old content to be relevant.
Well my Titan is only level 2, so there is nothing lost... I need to level grind him anyways (and looking forward to it)...
But what do we know about the bolded part? I never heard about this before...
What does this mean exactly? Are they pretending that TDB and HoW never happened? Their main activities (TDB Raid / POE / ToO) should continue to exist and have purpose... POE, for example, should have new difficulty modes added all the way up to level 40... what's stopping them?
We don't know how Trials will work after TTK.
And no,the new crucible bounties are part of the normal 2.0 questification for EVERYONE.
This is all we know

Urk is bungies community lead btw
Hmmm... interesting! Well that's good for people who don't want to delete a high level character. Deleting my level 2 Titan is not even a thing.
But you could always replay the old missions... except for the intro. Which I also want to replay. I hope that's not all he means...
I think it's better for everyone involved if everyone just pretends that Prison of Elders never happened. Easily worst end game content they have put into the game. That said I do think VoG and CE are raids that player really should see and experience at least once during their time with Destiny, good content with lore to be unlocked.
ToO is coming back in TTK, same with IB.
We'll know soon enough!
I'm pretty sure this is gonna be a server test for extra load as well since new players and returning players alike are gonna be coming with the taken king

In an interview someone(can't remember who) said they didn't want people to be overwhelmed with things to do like a checklist. That was the reason given for not updating the previous two raids or POE in content or loot.
Actually, I don't agree. My fireteam has gotten more time and enjoyment out of PoE than we ever did out of Crota. We may be in the minority but we just don't enjoy most of that raid and especially the lame mechanics of Crota himself. (VoG is and always has been awesome, however)
It also helps that with weapon cores, armor cores and etheric light you can pretty much choose your own upgrade path as opposed to being at the mercy of the RNG for gear and upgrade materials.
I don't think there's danger of that since for Destiny PVP there are no servers to overload. Being p2p, if anything, it may be a little less laggy due to finding players closer to you.
Crucible with TTK will be a sorry lagfest, just no more than usual.
Which they're sort of bringing back with infusion. With this system you can keep strong gear you want and dismantle weaker gear or use that strong gear to infuse your weaker gear making it stronger. No more need to farm etheric light.
the two problems i have with them going about it like this is that the raids are by far the coolest experiences in the game especially for a virgin, and the loot that they gave has been the majority of the time not surpassed by what came out after it - i know TTK is dealing with gear differently this time around, but it makes me worried. fatebringer/fang of ir yut/etc
I like that they also solved the issue of new legendary gear drops being worthless after a certain point. That happened pretty quick with HoW. Now, if it's a more powerful item but you don't want it, you can use it to improve one you like. If you don't, dismantling provides marks, used to get new stuff you do want at the vendors.
Sounds like even the vendor gear will be good this time around.

I get that but there's a difference in Doing that when the content is free, and when you paid for it.
Also just in case anyone missed it if you haven't finished your grimoire of Wolves do it before Tuesday because they are gone gone and it will be impossible to finish.
I feel like it's a waste to not update that older content for new players and to give vets something else to do with remixed challenges.

Trials is taking a break after the release of TTK. We don't yet know when or how it will return.
I believe you're required to own TDB and HoW before you can purchase TTK by itself.
From the perspective of in-game rewards, the useful of the guns and armor that drop from those activities are substantially diminished relative to those introduced in TTK.
A lot of hoops to jump through, but good points.
Why do you think they're pointless to play through?
Story missions are still intact
Crota's end and prison of elders is still intact
Bounties and public events are not
Weapons will be obsolete (this should be expected) though raids and prison of elders still yield exotics, some of which can be upgraded to y2 stats.
btw guys, think about this:
VoG and Crota will give you lots of shards/energy which can turn into motes of light.
Also all the items in there you get turn into motes of light/more shards/energy.
Motes of Light can be used to buy engrams from Xur or (new) to give XP to weapons/armor.
So technically, doing VoG and Crota is NOT totally useless, it's actually a nice little way of getting guaranteed motes.

That's because POE is a much better experience than the Crota raid, which was essentially cheese central.
The raids won't become irrelevant. Putting aside the obvious fact that getting to experience those raids is awesome, you'll have a chance to acquire year 1 exotic weapons that are getting upgraded for Year 2 in those raids.

I can't wait to get back on Destiny after six months. I've slipped down in the rankings so far that it's borderline depressing.
Actually never thought of it this way. Very interesting.
same - it's a good point

No...
They are being integrated into the base story content for new players
Year one is getting the remix treatment but year two is the focus going forward

Are the PS4 exclusive strikes going to be opened up for us XB1 peeps on the 8th or is that going to be when the expansion officially launches?
Nice that they're opening up the new PvP maps though!

Pretty sure they would have said that if it was the plan. The base 4 playlists will always be not-DLC required, only the special ones are.
When House of Wolves came out, they made all of the Dark Below Crucible maps free. We don't know if they're doing the same for the House of Wolves Crucible maps when Taken King comes out.
yes
That is a godlike pve gun, holy shit.

Quick question: Is the new leveling system tied to TTK? Can I level up my character to 40 without having the expansion?
New progression system is in 2.0, but capped at 34. TTK raises the cap to 40.

I imagine, but you'd have to wait for TTK for the cap to be raised. Right now vanilla owners can get to 34 without HoW.
