Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

Edging is what I've been doing to artificially create some fun. And I did what you said yesterday and found the new mission types out in the world. I liked the speed one, but the one that had me fight the Taken wasn't fun at all because they were too high level to kill.

Nothing artificial about that kind of fun.
 
Yup, its the garbage story missions that we had in 1.0 that had no real relation to what we were doing. They are kind of the planets own series of events but nothing that relates to the Fallen, Crota or the House of Wolves.

I mean hell you skip strikes all together as well.

They made the narrative go along with the quests now and now you have a few extra missions to blow through for your secondary class for quick xp.....at least thats how i take it.

Yeah, that felt weird reaching the end so quickly, but it was nice that they included those expansion quests along the way.

The experience is really much better like this in my opinion.
 
This is why I think it's hilarious that people are saving up bounties to turn in tomorrow. Just play the game as your normally would and you'll hit 40 quickly. Destiny has never been about the levels before the max. It's all about end-game, which is why so many people got frustrated (because of the lack of end-game content combined with Bungie's insistence that they don't need a way to aid people in finding others to play with in what end-game content there is).

Saving bounties that you turn in tomorrow gives you..
1)Ranking up faction rep to get packages.
2)Leveling up the third subclass quickly.
3)Leveling up year 2 weapons.

It's not just about hitting level 40 for end game.
 
Stupid PS4 PSN, don't want to take my money. Pre ordered the expansion 2 times now, it keeps on canceling, because of insufficient funds.... And Im positive I have more then enough funds in the card.
 
Hmm. Well got off the phone for getting a refund for TTK, but not really sure how long it will take if anyone knows?

Want to pre order the collectors edition upgrade bundle ASAP, but I wonder if that will get took off my account and mess things up as I guess they'll be two TTK on my account?
 
Not me! It makes me happy I did. I never bought the DLC and sold the game back for $20. All in all, I'm essentially getting the DLC for free and get to come in at 2.0.

Haha...exactly. I sold it about a month after release for basically the same price I paid for it and now I get to play the "real" game for $60. I'm OK with that.
 
As much as I wrote this game off not long after launch, having sunk a ton of time into it over the past few weeks to get up to 34, I'm REALLY looking forward to this arriving tomorrow. I also didn't get either expansion, so I have all of that content to consume as well. Gonna be a blast.
 
I'm pretty sure that was just the audio replacement stuff, for the most part.
It's not. You can already glitch into new areas, there's already taken enemies in the game, fallen on Mars, mp maps, new systems and loot (though they're blocked). We definitely have most of it.

yeah this is why I am doing this. Want to get third subclass leveled and get some year 2 legendaries as quickly as possible. I want to be able to run the raid on Friday.
 
So this really isn't getting a new trophy list/plat? For $40? I can see (but was saddened) that the two DLCS for year one don't get new trophies (i wouldn't of liked a plat as it was less money but maybe a couple) but this is year 2 and a $40 title and....nothing. I thought. Sony didn't allow that anymore.I'm going to be really pissed if Destiny 2 doesn't have a new trophy list/plat.

Someone posted a while back that if you download Destiny fresh now, it only downloads the 18GB patch after it gets the initial ~200MBish client.

They basically replaced the entire game client already.

New trophies, yes
New platinum, idk (edit: no platinum confirmed)

Trophies are easy iirc though
Edit: looking through the trophies now, someone completely kings fall already...playtesters?
 
I am really enjoying the game this time around, glad i jumped back in. I havent even done a single raid yet, is it possible to do a raid in a few hours or is it still like a whole day thing?

Go in the community thread, people can run you through Crota in under an hour
 
so the code downloads in a few seconds which means the content must be in there allready with patch 2.0, unless there is a big update at release time...

I forgot how excellent they got the gun play, I remembered I only stopped playing as I got sick to death of playing for 6 hours only to be in exactly the same spot i started with the archaic levelling system, so glad you now level up regardless

Sounds good. I've never done a raid but I've been playing since launch. Sent request to join.

Speaking of which, this is pretty cool even if I haven't raided:

to be fair, a lot of the new bounties can be done in like 2 or 3 games, so like...yea, no reason to hold onto them really.

this week was kind of a week everyone should have taken time off before the grind lul

Thanks that actually encourages my purchase alot and I was just going off exophase who are usually accurate. No golds though, that sucks. They really need to step up there game for Destiny 2.
 
If I understand the FAQ correctly and I get the Legendary edition, I'll have to do the 17gb patch for all the expansions because its just Vanilla Destiny disc and includes codes for DLC? The disk is not patched up already and the codes aren't just small unlock keys?

If that's the case, they need to run a garbage-deletion script because I'm digital and my client, post-patch, is just under 38 GB.
 
looks like my Titan video is broke from trying to get it ast night when they were getting hammered...just keep getting "Cannot Load M3U8: 404 Not Found"

This is correct, yes. Disc is just vanilla and it includes one code for all of the DLC.

If that's the case, they need to run a garbage-deletion script because I'm digital and my client, post-patch, is just under 38 GB.

IIRC the DL expands after finishing.
 
any tips for the Oracle rounds on Vault of Glass?
Make sure you call out oracles (name the locations for them L1, L2, R2 R1, center, etc. make sure there's always 2 on either side and 2 in the middle. The two in the middle should be your best guys. One will be a floater going to which ever side needs help and the other guy will always stay in the middle. Always always always snipe the hobgoblins, they will destroy your ranks if you let them. Call out minotaurs and just get a general rhythm down and synergy with your team. Patience and communication are key!

Or you can cheese and do this

Stay up top with people on Icebreakers while one person grabs the relic to help kill the hard-to-reach one.
 
What are the chances TKK is going to end on some sort of cliffhanger to get you to buy more DLC?

Not that I expect anyone to know the actual answer, just hoping there isn't any major DLC planned.
