Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain

I started a new game and used the light spark but now I don't know how to trigger the 2 previous DLC campaign missions? I would like to complete TDB and THOW before getting in TTK.
 
Year 2 version? I'm completely out of the loop

Year 1 = Vanilla/HOW/TDB, Year 2 = TKK

Most of the year 1 exotics have year 2 versions which are the same item but with higher stats to make them align with year 2 content. You can buy year 2 versions of year 1 exotics you had at the new terminals in the room where all the class trainers are in the tower. They cost Legendary Marks. This is only if you still want the item and it to be viable in PvE, otherwise it's the same in the crucible.
 
Pleasantly surprised to find that completing the first round of strikes you unlock after the "end" of the campaign opens up even more single-player missions. I don't know if
the end of the Regicide mission where you fight Oryx
even counts as the last mission - it's more like a late title card.

Is there any way to view TTK cutscenes again? I want to relive those Nathan Fillion moments - would really love it if they added a cut scene viewer that also played the load-in briefing and in-mission chatter.

So far I'm at about 245 light or so - have 2 legendary armor pieces and an exotic helmet engram got me the Hunter helm that grants shadowstep, so I haven't even touched my warlock or titan yet. There's really so much stuff to do here; I'm loving it.
I think if you replay the story missions they show the cutscenes again.

Dark Below did the same thing in terms of new content opening up after the story ends. If you did all of Eris' main purple bounties you unlocked a strike on Earth.

Thanks for the explanation, I enjoyed using it in PvE so would have to do that if I did get this again.

Can't believe I'm actually considering it lol
 
Used 25 Three of Coins and got 5 exotics; 4th Horseman and Tenesto, and three armor pieces, none of which were for my main (Titan), but they'll serve nicely for my alts.

I have to admit I'm not crazy about the Dreadknought patrol stuff at this point; I don't seem to be finding many chests (at least ones I can open), and I've spent maybe three to four hours wandering. I'm not a huge fan of the "figure it out on your own" mentality, as I don't have endless hours to spend like some, and I want to make the most of my time. The Court stuff is good, I happened by and was able to do several rounds with a couple randoms. Also, what the hell is the giant thing on chains that lifts and turns and crashes back down? Does it serve a purpose, or is it just there for the hell of it?
 
I turned in a legendary engram. It came out to be a 4th Horseman Holy shit. I'm in love.

..... And I rarely ever use shoties

nah, love aint a strong enough word for how much I like this weapon.

Ugh. I knew this would happen. Joining teams that are all made through LFG at a checkpoint are so flaky. Because you haven't all worked through it together no one has commitment, two failed attempts and people jump ship :S
 
Do I need destiny to play this? I had the original but sold it. Will my character be transferred to TTK? Which version of TTK should I get? Why am I so confused?
 
I just bought a disc copy of Destiny + expansions + Taken King, popped it into my console and now have to download a 17.5gb patch. What the fuck? Why was this not on the disc? I have pretty flimsy internet so it's taken most of the day to download just half. Not impressed at all.

The game is destiny. You need destiny to play destiny. Get the Legendary edition which comes with all the DLC at the cheapest price.
 
Just asking, but what is going on with the demo? Decided to download the game again to give it another go, due to fact I have a new PS4. The demo downloaded 17 gigs and than again 17 gigs and an update. When I start the game now, it starts with the Taken King screen, and a vid from landing on mars. After that I can create a character and the ' demo' seems to begin when the original demo began...in Old Russia.

Seems to good to be true that I downloaded the full game for free on PSN, but then again...checked my HDD and a 37,40 GB demo is ridiculous. Anyone know what's going on here?
 
Alright. Here's my sexy Exo Warlock and the scout rifle. I'm exhausted and happy. Thanks to all the amazing DGAFers I played with. My GF is making lasagna tonight and I am taking a break from Destiny until after the Bears game tomorrow.

Also, I think Kadey asked what we had in our team? Three Warlocks and three Titans. All Sunsingers and Defenders for Oryx.

I will have a bigger post tomorrow when I can gather my thoughts for the entire raid.

About that method to get exotic engram
How effective is it?

I have 7 strange coin, I can buy 2 items
How many engrams can I expect?
 
After some time, I've decided to get into this game. I've bought the Legendary Edition for the PS4, so I will be starting from the very beginning and taking it easy.

I've also had a look at the Destiny OT, but I find it a bit overwhelming for now. Is there a place where I can find a list of gaffers that play Destiny or that are starting the game for the first time?

The demo downloads the full game but cuts you off after level 8 I think.

Okay, thanks. I was hoping Activision made a mistake or someone at Sony messed up. Gonna try levelling up and see what happens. Seems kinda strange that it's downloading TKK too since it cuts you of after level 8.

Edit: seems te be the demo indeed. Checked in the store and could still buy the game
 
An older spoiler about Cayde but I'll spoiler tag it...

Did anyone else know that Cayde was human a long time ago? Didn't find out till a post mentioned it on Reddit and the games wiki backed it up.

I too am curious about this. I keep seeing people talking about the exotic engram farming, but then I see them say they were using 45 of the coins, or even 100+, which makes it sound like it's really only a thing for people with a ton of Strange Coins to blow laying around. Is it even worth it if you've only got 10 SCs to spend?

Just started myself on PS4, level 14 so far. Feel free to add LordPhol if you wanna game sometime!

It seems to be worth a gamble right now, before Bungie reduces the drop rate for them, which they've already said they would probably be doing. With five Three of Coins, you have a pretty good chance of getting an exotic for basically 7 Strange Coins, or about half price at least. Nothing is guaranteed of course. Strange coins are much easier to come by now, so even if you get nothing, it shouldn't be hard to make them back just through normal gameplay.
 
I can't believe they'd sell absolutely useless gear for 31 strange coins. Fucking hell. Haven't played this game in a 9 months basically and misread the damn text. Really stupid. Obviously legendary is below exotic but I was thinking whatever they call the gun higher than special. So annoying. Ugh.

I was pissed too at first until I realized that some of these are carrying over to Year 2 and then once you buy them from Xur you can get them from the Year 2 board.

Like, I got a Truth at 170. Which sucked, until I saw it was on the board at 280. Just have to buy with 120 marks.
