It's so crappy that the exotic class items are locked behind buying editions of the game that I already own (for $80 freakin' dollars).
The Titan one has the double-aquila from Gjallarhorn, for heaven's sake! WANT.
Is this confirmed?

Fetching my gear at the tower and sending you a FR.
I'll be Bonsoir on PSN.
Sweet. I won't have a mic on, listening to a podcast. I can use it if we start running into a lot of trouble though.
One more for PoE 34!

They have a PvP area set up where 6v6 Rift games are happening on the floor.
They don't have any specific event. Deej is making the rounds for streaming interviews here: http://planetdestiny.com/destiny-e3-schedule/
Other than that, the glimpse during the Sony conference and now the ViDoc are the main meat here.

No problem, will keep listening to that SF5 stream then.
I can also plug the mic if need be.
Ah! Thanks for the reply.

Well looks like you're going to finish one today. Get on in here.
OK cool. I just want new abilities. Otherwise it's pointless.
Yeah. I hope they change their minds but as of now, we (owners of Destiny and the expansions) have two options:
Buy The Taken King for US$40, and get VIP Rewards (reward our loyalty with emblem, shader, sparrow), or
Buy The Take King Collector's Edition for US$80, getting the Destiny+TDB+HoW (lol) along with same DLC and VIP rewards as the above but with additional three shaders, three exotic class items with XP buff, three class specific emotes. If you go physical instead of digital, you also get a Steelbook Case, Art Book and Replica of a Strange Coin.
So if we just buy the expansion we miss out on the shaders, exotic class items and emotes. As launch players, the only way we can get those rewards is by actually buying Destiny and the first two expansions again, along with the rest of the stuff.
At least with the physical you get some cool stuff. But for players who already have the expansions, TTK Collector's Digital is basically a US$40 cosmetic pack bundled to a US$40 DLC.

Funky exotic titan helm NF get!
We can already go to Phobos! One of the HoW PvP maps is there. But yeah we'll apparently have missions and be able to explore in Phobos with the next expansion.
There's nothing wrong with the way it works now. There's literally no point to add in 10 levels to let you gain subclass abilities every level.
If there's nothing new related to hitting level 30, I don't understand it at all. I honestly think it's a couple new abilities to keep the old subclasses feeling fresh.
Again, a new subclass is literally just a whole bunch of new abilities. It's exactly what we're getting man
As we climb to level 30 we'll acquire those new abilities in tandem.Kor of Memory

But why not just use these levels to level up the new subclass?
It will have 27 new abilities in it.

does anyone know if Bestbuy will be getting the collectors edition of the the new expansion?
I can level it up by playing normally. Why do I need 10 more base levels?

Anyone up for PoE 32
IIRC the talk about Phobos is "the vanguard send you there to explore a Cabal distress signal" [sic!], so yeah.
Fake Edit: I'll be disappointed if there isn't a nod to "Space Marines".
Ah, i've never even noticed that. I think id be satisfied with two new areas.
...where are you getting that? I see no reason to suspect it would be the case and certainly nothing to indicate that it is "likely." A full new subclass will need to be leveled (jumps and all), but just as we were with the existing classes, you're likely to hit the base cap before having finished unlocking every ability.
I wrote the guides because I hated how many people were getting frustrated or felt cockblocked by a surprisingly robust and RNG-free system. Vertical progression is totally uninteresting to me, I accept it at face value and understand why it exists in game design but it doesn't nothing for my enjoyment.But you wrote the guides on light leveling! Also on exotics: check the last paragraph you cited me on
And I don't know how I missed that about exotics, it's in my quote and everything haha.
Haha. Well again, it takes more than 10 levels to unlock a full subclass, just like happened to us during play.
But I mean the real answer is because adding vertical progression is merely something you do to extend the playtime of a game. If you have to gain 10 more levels to be at the new plateau to do things, then gosh darn it you'll get those 10 more levels. It's one of the most basic tenets of modern game design.
You've got a full subclass worth of new abilities- but they could 100% have been added without raising the level cap. So... it's pointless.
Yeah I have a feeling we have already seen basically everything that they plan to show.
I'm down. Psn gunawi
The physical CE is exclusive to Gamestop unfortunately...I was hoping it'd be at BB and Amazon but nope.

Cool. One more for PoE lvl 32.
So had one of those moments the other day:
Zewone: "Their titan just put up a bubble"
Me: "Oh crap"
Trakkan: "Don't worry guys, I'll take care of this"
*Enters Enemy Bubble*
*2 seconds letter Trakkan's dead body comes flying out of the bubble"
Me: "lol"
Edit: Anyone up for a nightfall?

That sounds stupid and now I'm not buying the Taken King.

New base levels give us a path for missions.
Vanilla Destiny ended with the last mission being level 16-18.
Dark Below ended with the last mission being 22-24
House of Wolves ended with the last mission being 28-30
Its' just natural progression. If bungie released 10 new missions all level 20, then a new potential player could have a hard time determining what levels they should play first.
Why change the game in such a major way if it's pointless? Has to be a reason they're doing it outside of "vertical progression."
When will people learn that if you don't have a super, don't bother...
I'd be surprised if Phobos isn't the new patrol area.
It's going to work this time though.
You don't. What if I told you you don't even need the first 20?
It's just something games do. Leveling up with a ding and a visual effect and seeing a number get bigger is effective reinforcement.
It's not remotely major, hah
Why?
I don't buy that. In Destiny 2, they're going to need level 3 missions for new players and level 53 missions for us.

It's there for the same reason every MMO has levels. It keeps you on a specified path. It keeps you in areas/zones you belong in at a certain pace. It gives you a sense of growth, as you play.
Really no point in talking about Destiny 2, here. Bungie has a ton of options here. For all we know, Destiny 2 is going to be a larger version of TTK that builds off of Destiny as a base and keeps all the old destinations and such.
Hopefully never
I've lost count of the number of times I told myself that when rushing into a bubble...
