Cool. Thanks guys.
I will probably be doing this for my other characters. I took the time to explore and shit with my hunter, so I don't feel the need to do it again.

two things just dawned on me:
-players picking up a game of the year edition of destiny including both expansions will be getting a fairly solid game. the only outstanding criticism will be the poor story and mission structure. if bungie reworked the missions someway though, house of wolves would actually be a very good tie in for the vault of glass. players in this situation would be missing out on the mystery and the journey to reaching this point as far as changes to the game goes, but they'll reap the benefits
-as for the point about mission structure, i really don't think comet is going to be any different. we'll get more missions sure, and they'll likely be in completely different locations, so that'll be nice for a change. perhaps that'll let bungie expand their length so they aren't confined to small rooms and strike missions backwards like they are now. but i'm no longer optimistic about this aspect of the game improving significantly until the sequel. i'm nothing if not impressed they even managed to salvage what was in there. i think the format is frankly garbage and i would have thrown it out before reaching mass out.
designing a narrative-based game around loot but failing to deliver on the former both in story telling and in mission design is a pitfall bungie easily be able to dig themselves out of.

Ahh stupid how the Vestian Dynasty is purchasable after you get it for free..
Thanks for the story missions and strike. Gotta go.
I was super bored by it. they tried to spice up the dialogue but in terms of a story, it wasn't remotely as interesting as Crota and the Hive to me,
It had some good areas which were novel. Wouldve been better if it ended with a raid. The final mission was anticlimactic.

Thanks for the story run driz and adamK. My headset died as I was about to say that I'm leaving. It was a sign that I played too long.

The Dark Below was a barebones revenge story. Eris and her team didn't have gallys and wiped, so they sent us to take out Crota's henchmen before ending him.
The House of Wolves has stronger roots in the lore and at least attempts to piece together all the Fallen houses, including the reason for the Queen, the Reef and the Awoken's refuge there. It's a much more ambitious tale, but as I said earlier the format of the game is holding it back.

Hey guys, just got Destiny on Xbox One, and I'm enjoying it quite a bit! Though it's quite lonely haha. I'd love to join in with some people who might be willing to help me learn the ropes.
I'm a level 6 Warlock right now. my GT is BRETT McBAM if you want to play! Would love to play with some GAFers

The mission structure is fucked do to how small each world is. They screwed themselves hard, because of that.
Tho most MMO style games do tons of back tracking. But they get away with it, because they have more content. HoW is a good start imo. They'll get there.
In conclusion I blame last gen.

I got it from doing the six day bounties released before HoW. I don't know if you can still get it.

^lmao @ no gallys
bet they ran with ARs too
all good
@bolded - i mean... raid would've been nice for some, but i hate raids - and i'm loving the fact that endgame content isn't exclusive to raiding for once.
besides, the fallen raided two places before the events in HoW takes place. clearly we're falling behind

I agree with both of you. Destiny 2 awaits! But for now, we got PVP and arenas at least.
Anyway, I'll settle for being in the minority about HoW's story

Ahhh yeah, I never did that last one on the moon, oh well
What do you guys think of the new cryptarch
new cryptarch comes off like that cool ass intern that doesn't care if you sign out equipment or not lol
getting to the final boss is harder than anything i'd imagine. those 4th rounds are brutal

They did it better this time telling the story in-game. But a lot of it is still on the Grimiore cards. Whoever writes these cards needs to make a Destiny book. I would buy it in a heart beat.
The story is slowly coming together. Its just being told in the wrong area sadly.
The Grimiore has a place. But Destiny 2 better not be like this again. I'd rather just read Destiny wiki then and not spend $60.

yea pretty much sucks. I used 1 key on the level 28 got an exotic, have 1 ore key and ran it on 32 but wanted to save my last key for lvl 34 and see if theres a difference in loot table so i just grabbed the 2 side chests.....4 strange coins for my effort clearing PoE on 32. I think thats even worse than an all shards raid run.
Not sure i even want to spend the armor core on those gloves since its all strength. Then again with etheric light and all the future weeks getting armor cores maybe its best to just grab them to get the level up knowing i will eventually replace them.

So, I haven't done the story missions. Just the Nightfall x3 and checking out the Reef social.
The new moon strike was very enjoyable. Nice difficulty spike in the walker room, but manageable.
New items thus far:
Sawtooth Oscillator: Void Legendary Machine Gun; Spray and Play, Injection Mold, Rodeo (Makes for a fairly accurate high RoF with respectable impact)
Give/Take Equation: Void Legendary Fusion Rifle; Hip Fire; Injection Mold/Snapshot; Hot Swap (Incredible impact and stability, but charge rate makes it questionable for PvP play that the 'mods' are geared towards)
Amplified Geo-D6: Solar Legendary Sniper Rifle; Mulligan, Armor Piercing/Hand-laid stock, Replenish (Fairly well-rounded, but nothing remarkable either)
Elector's Casque: Legendary Titan helmet; Momentum Transfer, Quintessence Transfer (Discipline focused abilities)

Well, they're technically projectiles...
It's an average replacement. Casket mag took a 33 mag to 40, and it doesn't increase max ammo count like field scout used to.
