Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

NA Central time

Though it might be a bogus one because this is from the store as an add on. Destiny is by itself with a new Library picture. There's no way to access the countdown screen from my library otherwise it just plays Destiny vanilla.
You'll be able to play The Taken King at 2am Pacific.
 
So do the class items from the $20 collectors upgrade grant bonus exp to everything? Level, subclass, gear, etc? Do we know by how much?

I'm also getting TTK download code from a friends physical edition who doesn't need it. Will I still get the year 1 VIP rewards?
 
Actually thinking about setting the alarm for 3:30 AM just to roll with my friends when they start this morning.

Can't believe Bungie got me again...
 
THE THIRST IS REAL.
Been a damn hectic week, getting my 34 Warlock main into shape for TTK.
"Sharded" my two alt warlocks, and got my new Titan up to 34 and cleared all of the year 1 (Vanilla, TDB, HoW) content. My new Hunter is now 26 and closing in on the end of HoW.

My body is ready.
 
So I need a clear answer, after the 17 gig destiny 2.0 patch, just how much hard drive space do I need for TTK? Because I'm out of space so i need to pick and choose what to delete.

That's it. They're just going to push a tiny patch that flips a bit that tells the game the content is now accessible.

You'll get the Year 1 rewards as long as you had a level 30 character or the expansions before Aug 31st.
 
Guys, I'm almost buying the game! I do not own the base game so I will get the Legendary digital edition.

Thing is... Is it worth buying if I do not know anyone personally that plays it? And even if sometimes its hard to me to find time to settle a co-op match here on gaf?

You shouldn't have any trouble finding cool people to play with, on GAF or elsewhere.
 
welp, just found out about Moments of Triumphs on the last day....not going to finish it now. missing HM PoE and 5 Golden chests lol
 
The King cometh tomorrow:

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Definitely. The Community thread is always super active and at all hours. You won't have a hard time finding people to run story missions with, strikes with, raids with, etc. DestinyGAF is the friendliest, most positive, and welcoming online gaming community I have ever been a part of and we are all glad to have more Guardians in the fight. My psn is V1ctIm. Feel free to send a fr and we can explore the universe together. :)

Most gaffers are certainly from the PS4 version, right? I bought the XB1 version. Is there specific threads to different versions?
 
Thanks! And is there any clan? (not even sure if there is such a thing in the game)

There are clans, but there's much of clan functionality in-game. The clan stuff is all on bungie's website. DestinyGaf and the bungie app forums are how you get people for raids and whatever else. Welcome to Destiny.

Yeah, it is very PS4 heavy, but there are a good many folks who have it on XB1 too...sometimes both! The Community thread, as fast as it is, works for both PS4 and XB1, so just specify your platform when you ask for help or just list your psn/gt in your GAF profile to make it easier.

Yup, loads, but you have to do it through Bungie's site. A lot of them are just open now and don't require any approval so maybe run with some folks first then consider joining a clan they are in.
 
I haven't played Destiny since the first expansion came out (I thought I had my fill after 200 hours and traded it in). I think I was level 29. Since I'm missing out on so many materials, weapons and armor how long would it take me to get my Titan where he needs to be? I would really like to get TTK but I dread grinding so much before getting to experience the new content.

Thanks a lot, both of you!
Dowloading it now! =P

Hopefully I'll enjoy it, cause its the only game I'll be getting this year other than Halo 5. lol

Smart move. Having one of each is the best way to play.

There isn't really anymore grinding. They've all but eliminated it.
 
Can you still use your other characters to get a 2nd and 3rd chance of getting something from Nightfall etc or did they kill that?
 
I wonder how many are going to show up at GameStop? I haven't went in there in a few months. Digital is when I can sit down, have a beer, relax, and enjoy the time away from the streets.

IIRC that wall to GameStop's stores is all lose. I remember when my boss at the time use to shake the wall. All those shingles use to come loose.

Yeah you can still do that. Now nightfalls requires to be at level 40 and no longer will you be kicked to orbit if everyone wipes and the experience buff has been removed in exchange for more xp.
 
Sorry if this has been asked before but do I need to complete the Dark Below and House of Wolves questlines before being able to do Taken King stuff? Has this been said anywhere?
 
Is there any benefit from picking up all the automatically abandoned quests on my high level character and running through them? Replaying the story, etc? Anything to get out of it?

I already started a new character to run through them all...

Exp and some re-worked items

No you don't. Everyone will receive a special consumable that will one time boost one character to level 25 and unlock the taken king quests.
 
Ugh, so the countdown on the PSN store was wrong.. why the hell can't they just activate these things at midnight and none of this 5am BS..

I just booted it and this is what I get. It said I could download it in the store, but then it said it couldn't download it at this time. I don't know what's going on because this is what I get for my title screen.

Boot Destiny if you already have it purchased. Mine says "The Taken King".
