Is it cool if I join in? I've played off and on since launch but have never actually done a raid before ( or anything team-related outside of Strikes actually... ) and I have wanted to give it a shot. I have a level 31 ( I need to double check but 99% sure I'm 31 now ) Hunter with Bladedancer/Gunslinger maxed out.

You're exactly who this is for, hah! Please sign up!

You are everything that's right with this community.

lol, man. I haven't even fully read the first gameinformer article. Maybe I'll go through them both after this one releases if work slows down in the late afternoon

So they will reveal every secret and leave us with no surprises lol.

 

[everyday math]

Back to work!

;___; no I have 17mins left!

Please post new info now gameinformer

 

[Korosenai]

Red death is a lot of fun to use in Rumble. The healing helps to go from one firefight to the next without having to wait and have your health recharge slowly.

 

[Hawkian]

So they will reveal every secret and leave us with no surprises lol.

I keep thinking that too, lol. this is the most concrete info revealed prior to anything including launch

 

[todd360]

Well the only real surprise for house of wolf pups was 9 wins equals Mercury.

 

[Haybro]

I think I may actually delete my Warlock (after putting all the exotics in the vault, if I have the space :O) and run the story over from the beginning. I can at least have an Exo if I do that.

I thought about rerunning my titan as a female exo.

 

[LiK]

So they will reveal every secret and leave us with no surprises lol.

bugs and disconnects will always surprise us.

 

[Ophelion]

So they will reveal every secret and leave us with no surprises lol.

Except, presumably, for the locations of actual secrets in the Dreadnaught. Since that would kind of defeat the purpose, I'd imagine.

 

[blazeuk]

This makes a lot of sense, Blaze. You don't seem to quickscope very much, yet you seem to do just fine racking up the kills or stealing kills from Robinson

Robinson has god rolls on all of his weapons, he's stealing everyone else's kills! Here I am with some crap medium to long range scope and a final round perk I never use because I have too many bullets.

 

[E92 M3]

I keep thinking that too, lol. this is the most concrete info revealed prior to anything including launch

Indeed - and it seems very unBungie like.

Well the only real surprise for house of wolf pups was 9 wins equals Mercury.

Well, there wasn't really much to reveal. They are saying everything for TTK.

bugs and disconnects will always surprise us.

Oryx can be knocked off into the rings of Saturn

Except, presumably, for the locations of actual secrets in the Dreadnaught. Since that would kind of defeat the purpose, I'd imagine.

Well, of course, but I think some general stuff should be kept secret as well.

 

[everyday math]

I'm totally fine with them being more open with info. We all know how being so closed burned them when Destiny started. V_V

 

[SeanR1221]

The one character boost will definitely get me to have all 3 characters.

I think I might get a warlock to 20 now and then use the boost on a Titan and delete me second hunter.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Of course. When were you thinking? Maybe we can get a first timer in there again like last week, or Drubbed if he's around.

Me, Stabie and Jigga did a kill on Tuesday. I have an excellent gif that I still need to upload. You'll appreciate it since it throws salt on Jigga

I'm waiting

 

[HigXx]

So can someone help me here, when I go to purchase Taken King on the PS Store it says it is "Unavailable for purchase" and when I click "Tell me more" it says it is because I already own Expansion II: House of Wolves??

EDIT: So I had to "download" the two seperate items and not just the Season Pass for Expansions 1 & 2 to let me be able to purchase Taken King

 

[EloquentM]

The collectors edition new class items make so much more sense with that update on level progression yesterday.

I think I'm caught up...

Thank youuuuu!

Are you signed in and did you buy TDB?

This is the link you should use:

Is there ANY WAY someone can CP the article once online and PM it to me? Please?

Gameinformer is geoblocking my country (because reasons, I have no idea?) and I would like to be able to read it.

We got you covered.

[figadapaura]

I'll just use an alt account to run through the story again if it's worth it. Too much grinding again to delete even my Warlock.

 

[everyday math]

We're waiting on you Gameinformer!

 

[Kurumi]

I think I may actually delete my Warlock (after putting all the exotics in the vault, if I have the space :O) and run the story over from the beginning. I can at least have an Exo if I do that.

I thought about doing the same thing for my Titan. Especially after hearing that Nolan North will be replacing all of Dinklage's lines. Glad I'm the not the only one here lol.

I'll just watch a stream.

It won't be worth it. Unless you can't get enough Nolanbot in your life.

 

[Carn82]

Well, of course, but I think some general stuff should be kept secret as well.

Agree, but I think they want to 'spread the wealth' to get people back on board. Most 'diehards' will get TTK anyway, but a lot of people dropped of because of the lacking vanilla and dissapointing first DLC (I actually think that HoW is pretty decent). They need the word of mouth, especially from diehards talking to their friends saying that 'bungie fixed everything and you should try it out!'

 

[Sawneeks]

You're exactly who this is for, hah! Please sign up!

Just did! Looking forward to finally giving the raid a shot. Thanks for putting this all together.

 

[Tjamato88]

So I've been using a Hunter the whole time I've been playing Destiny but haven't leveled up any of the Bladedancer subclass? I've just been using the Gunslinger subclass. Is that bad?

Should I swap over and start leveling my Bladedancer subclass?

 

[Carn82]

It won't be worth it. Unless you can't get enough Nolanbot in your life.

I do remember reading somewhere that they are 'tweaking' a lot of the missions and quests (like the reef opening up after you met the queen). 'tweaking' could mean many things tho, but maybe they`ll try to cram in some more lore here and there.

 

[rNilla]

Why would you need a new character to play through the story missions again? They're all right there. I guess we'll see what the revamped system looks like.

 

[PrivateWHudson]

So the voice in the trailer is this Nolan guy, and he is playing the ghost...Does this mean that the ghost is a guardian too, or was that not the ghost talking, and they are just using the same guy for voice overs as well?

 

[Deku Tree]

Exactly lol just replay them.

That is the most likely answer to why we are getting so much info. Need to get people back on board/on board for the first time.

well, it's not required. But every character and their subclasses have an impact on the expierence, so my advice would be: "Yes, and also start up a Warlock and a Titan"

 

[DrDrizzay101]

so much of this will end up depending on your play style (whether you swipe shoot, quickstep etc) that it's usually best to try things out instead of following arbitrary lists.

We most definitely agree on this part!

I've done Skolas before but had a pretty frustrating run this morning with 3 teammates dropping out before we could get it done, had to go to work and no checkpoints = ugh.

If you need a third I'd be more than glad to join y'all!

Of course! Doesn't always have to be first timers although it's nice to work some in when I can. I can do more runs with first timers anytime, especially before Trials launches. I've only done 1 Skolas this week so far, and I've done 3-6 most weeks since HoW launched.

New GI is up! Hypeee!

104 Questions And Answers About Destiny: The Taken King
video interview
by Ben Hanson on August 05, 2015 at 02:00 PM 134 Views


Destiny has a thriving community that endlessly thirsts for more information on Bungie's burgeoning universe. With the launch of our extensive September cover story on Destiny: The Taken King, we explained as much as a cover story can contain, but there were still some lingering questions like "Whose face is on the strange coin?" and "Are there bathrooms on the tower?" The only way to cover as much ground as we need to in an interview with The Taken King's creative director Luke Smith was to take the same approach as our No Man's Sky interview from last year, and rapid-fire our way through dozens and dozens of burning questions. Game Informer's Ben Reeves sat down with Smith at Bungie to ask what's on everybody's mind.

Check out the video interview below to learn more about Destiny's lore, The Taken King's gameplay changes, and Paul McCartney's mortality.

All aboard the Hypenaught! (does this image work?)

I want to join.

You miss out on some cutscenes, I guess. It can be more fun to start from scratch too than just blazing through all the missions with your high level gear.

 

[ocean]

We most definitely agree on this part!



Of course! Doesn't always have to be first timers although it's nice to work some in when I can. I can do more runs with first timers anytime, especially before Trials launches. I've only done 1 Skolas this week so far, and I've done 3-6 most weeks since HoW launched.

I've slacked off Skolas. Did it every week at launch but stopped once I realized how low the drop rates were and what a hard time you can have if the team isn't experienced.

I still don't have the Bow or the Promise only things keeping me from Pokedex. I'll be available all day, just let me know when you guys are up for it

 

[Lnkn52]

Destiny has a thriving community that endlessly thirsts for more information

Yup, that sounds like us.

 

[Namikaze1]

Take me off the hype train. I found my own ride. Taking the Queen, Nolanbot, and special guest Chewie with me to Oryx.

 

[PuMa]

Stupid embedded GI video player...

 

[Shito]

I'm counting on you for a shortlist of any new piece of information guys.

 

[figadapaura]

Confirmation that the dead guardian in the Woken the Hive mission has no relation to Eris. Really important info.

 

[DrDrizzay101]

So I've been using a Hunter the whole time I've been playing Destiny but haven't leveled up any of the Bladedancer subclass? I've just been using the Gunslinger subclass. Is that bad?

Should I swap over and start leveling my Bladedancer subclass?

Yes. Absolutely. Blade Dancer is better for most PvE stuff, and the best overall PvP subclass. Level that bad boy asap.

 

[Deku Tree]

More ghost skins this fall!

 

[PuMa]

"Sort of" getting new vault space.

Lol this video is great. Rapid-fire Q&A.

 

[Kurumi]

Wish Destiny had an appearance change option so you could change the look of your guardian. I know you only get to see them in the tower and cutscenes but still it'd be nice.

 

[figadapaura]

"Can you skip the shooting?"

"Hold sprint"

lol
