Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

How big is the Taken King Download? I already have the other two expansions and I'm already upgraded to 2.0. Did the 2.0/18GB download already include most of the new TTK content or is it another 20GB download on top of that when I purchase TTK?

It's already included. There was a very small addition to the 2.0 patch today, but that's all.
 
I just accepted the wrong class item from Eris on accident... fuck.

Guessing there's no way to get that one back? Shnitttttttttt

Anyways, got Bad Juju from the Cryptarch. I'll take it I guess.
 
I wish I didn't have to spend 70€ despite having the vanilla version. :|

Yes, I don't get why the US version is 60$ and the EU version is 70€ WTF? How did that even add up in someones head at Activision?

Can people buy the Legendary Edition in the US PSN and play it on EU without problems?
 
Anyone know if characters are linked to our PSN account? I bought vanilla Destiny digitally but wanted The Talen King on disc. Do I just st delete the game from my PS4 then install through the disc?

Taken King is not on the disc

Don't you love it when people don't answer your question, but instead nit-pick something else you said?

Yes, your character is linked to PSN account and on Bungie's server. That's why you can view them online at bungie.net, jump between playing on PS3<->PS4, etc. (No cross-play between PSN and XBL though)
 
Is the Legendary Edition of TTK disc just the vanilla Destiny disc or does it have the 2.0 patch built into the disc? Hoping to play with a friend who's just jumping aboard tonight, but if he's going to have to download the 18gb 2.0 patch, that probably won't happen.
 
The vanguard weapons and suros weapons are for sale with the vanguard quartermaster in the hangar.


They are all 160 attack and if i'm not mistaken kinectic damage only. If you already have ascended raid weapons you won't need those. They are handy for newbies only.

It's just a regular disc, the 18gb dl is necessary for anyone looking to play the game.

US$60 or €70 is the MSRP for basically all AAA titles at launch on the digital stores. And yes, you can buy games from another store since PS4 games are not region locked. But note that DLC is. Meaning if you buy a game from the XX store, you'll be forced to buy the DLC from the same store in the future.

You can't have a EU copy of Destiny and buy DLC from the US store for example.

Nah the last time I bought US releases the prices in the EU and US Store were numerically the same but the conversion rate made it cheaper in the US :|
 
Character levels don't matter, light levels do.

People need to stop saying this as if it is OK and not an issue...

Bungie said themselves in a video that most of the people who quit did so once they hit level 20... and they talk about the new level system and 40 cap as an apology for not doing it right in the first place...

Yet here we are, as if nothing has changed?
 
Aren't the Suros from the Vanguard Quartermaster those that were available early when you pre-ordered the original Destiny?

I'm pretty sure they said that the new Suros weapons were legendary weapons.

Might be wrong, though.

These are level 25. Also it was just Vanguard weapons and armor for the original. Now it's Vanguard and Suros weapons.
 
So many new things, so many new toys! I did the Veterans quest (Rahool gave me a Red Death, that tricky fellow!) the first new story quest and then my 2 subclass quests. This put me about midway through 35.

Once I had my subclass unlocked I went to the tower and opened my mailbox full of Public Event packages and that let me hit 40.

Still trying to wrap my head around all the new stuff but I can absolutely say that the first story mission is ace. Loved the music, loved the atmosphere, loved the tension.

Can't wait to do more!
 
So it's the same as before they just dress it up differently
Not the same as before because Light level is averaged across all your weapons and armor and have a far smoother progression scaling curve.

Let's say you had 119 Light pre 2.0; this made you level 29. Reaching level 30 would have required 120 Light. You were just 1 Light short, but it made no difference; you were a level below. A character sitting at 108 Light and a character at 119 Light would both be the same for the game: a level 29. And as a level 29, you'd have a 33% damage penalty running level 30 content. That's pretty major: you do a lot less damage and you die much more quickly.

Now you have an average score across all your armor and weapons, using the same scale. If you're 1 or 2 Light below a given activity's recommended level, this no longer means you're out of luck and at an arbitrary huge disadvantage. Smaller steps in the progression path are meaningful now, every little bit helps. Compared to the old system where gaining light offered nothing until it brought you to the next level, it's a more flexible system.

Also, it unifies the scales for the quality level of armor and weapons. No longer is the max 365 for weapons and 42 Light for Armor (which also had a meaningless Defense stat). Now it's all on the same scale, and instead of being additive it's an average to make up for any weaker gear you haven't replaced yet.
 
Anyone get stuck on the first patrol mission where you
place all the beacons?
. Specifically the part where says tsken eliminated. Looks like it wants me to go across the area that had platforms in the earlier missions but they aren't spawning. No idea what to do.

Uhh I live in France and this is the reason I use the US store exclusively. Even on Amazon the MSRP for a PS4 game is €70, and it's the same for all launch AAAs on the digital store since forever.

Look at Street Fighter V for one:

It's silly but not particular to this release. Luckily at retail prices go down quick. On digital you have to wait for a sale.
 
So, I only got the original Destiny, but non of the DLC.
Itching to rebuy the game with all DLC and TTC and restart all over.

If you have a physical copy of Vanilla Destiny, you can trade it in at Gamestop and get $20 off the Taken King (so Total amount will be ~$40.).
 
Excuse my ignorance, but how do we earn legendary marks? Also, I can't figure out how to get the Taken Champions and The Curious object section of the Petra quest.
 
I was playing last night before the update, received a few green engrams while doing a story mission, and when I got them decoded, I received rep points, but no items. This is the second time this has happened over the last week. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm going to sit here at work all day refreshing this topic and wishing I was home...
 
So I'm wasting my time and life(?) trying to do a quest I just got?

Thanks for the help.

I swear... the responses some people give here to complaints and questions are rage inducing...

I agree, the design of some quests are questionable... no better than some of the worst bounties that have been around since day 1.

You're focusing on just one comment. The OT has been positive through out, let's keep it that way.

The Taken King OST sounds good so far.
 
You can get the $40 digital, and $20 more for those extras. It's still $20 cheaper than the Collector's Edition, and if you don't want to pay for it it's not forced on you.

And no, just because you bought the expansion does not make you entitled to the collector's edition.

you don't "collect" digital content. It is a misnomer. Collector's editions are for people who want physical trinkets and special cases, etc. This is just cosmetic stuff they are holding behind a paywall for no reason.
 
Don't you love it when people don't answer your question, but instead nit-pick something else you said?

he said
wanted The Taken King on disc
so I did not nit-pick, I told him it is not on the disc. we had a lot of people who got angry because they did not know that in advance.

but sorry that I did want to help prevent him from buying something he maybe regret in the end -_-
