Hey guys. I haven't played this game since vanilla, where I brought a character up to cap and started getting a few legendary weapons. This was on PS3, so I don't know if I'll be able to retrieve that character if I move to PS4, or if that time frame has passed.
I have a few questions:
- If I buy The Taken King version, is that all I will need? Or are there other expansions I'd have to buy?
- Are the full-on raids the only content that I will need a put-together group for? Can I use Matchmaking for the rest?
- Is PvP more balanced now?
- If I have to start over, how difficult will it be for a new player to work through to level cap again? Will it be fairly quick? EDIT: I should add, how difficult will it be to get viable gear to where I'll be useful in PvE and on a level field in PvP?
- Is the Warlock still super bad ass?
Thanks, guys.

Cool. I would be down to try that if you need a third in the next couple of hours.

- You only need the TTK version (Legendary edition)
- Raids, Nightfalls and Challenge of the Elders and story missions don't have MM. Rest have, but for story you don't need a group.
- Generally yes.
- Just playing the story can get you to level 40 (I mean Vanilla + expansions). Even playing crucible can level you up fairly quick. If you are in a rush, getting TTK expansion grants you a level booster to level 25 but I don't recommend it.
- Yes, if you don't mind the jumping, warlock still wrecks.

I got all of the mats waiting on one friend to finish his farming for his second and third sword and then three of us are going to do the strike for arc and void.

Your best bet is to buy the full Taken king edition, which comes with the base game, the 2 year 1 DLC's and the Taken King (Year 2 DLC).
You can buy the taken king as a separate add-on, digitally, but it probably costs more now than the full taken king version (digital store pricing weirdness)
Match-making doesn't apply to Raids, Trials, and Challenge of elders (and maybe Skolas!?) oh - and nightfalls.
The PvP demi-gods on here can answer better than I - watching from a distance something always seems to be unbalanaced..but sometimes it's worse than others...
I think/assume character transfer works forever...but I haven't checked. Starting from scratch you're probably looking at a fair few hours to get gear and light levels up to snuff. It depends how many willing friends you have to carry you through stuff.
In terms of getting carried I think there is a hard cap of 40 light levels (or something like that) so you can't get completely carried through a nightfall, and drop 320 gear, when you're at 100.
Trying to power level through it may be quite painful/dull though - you may be better off just planning to roll through the quests and story etc and let max level (and high light level) happen naturally.
Always and forever - they have tried to nerf Ramlock but it's still golrious

That's awesome.
Mine can't go above 323 so I'm going to bite the bullet and do 1 or 2 raids to get them over with.

The character info is stored on Bungie's servers under your PSN/XBL accounts, so assuming your PSN account is the same then your character will be where you left him or her with whatever level you reached.

What is your anticipated light level going to be?
I can probably organize one this weekend, there are quite a few sub-300 gaffers that want to do it.
assuming I finish filing all the tax returns i have to file....
And you're in!
I can reach 315, but with optimized gear it's probably gonna be ~310-312

This graph shows how hard it's been to get to the Lighthouse each week. It shows the % of players that played trials that weekend that made it.
https://twitter.com/TrialsReport/status/720309191722688513
You take the percent and the number of players that weekend is the Unique Accounts on the Pinned Tweet for that weekend.
So for mixed playlist weekend #23, 12% of 340626 made it to the lighthouse, which is ~40,875 people.

Thanks for the replies!
And this is awesome. What a great way of doing this.
I had a fear there was a time period to do it in, since this came out around the PS3/PS4 transition.

6PM EST/3PM PST, K.
Well, I'm a CPA. I churn these things out in 15 minutes. The problem is the volume of returns I have to do

Their companion apps and website gear manager all access the same data so it is platform agnostic. If it weren't for platform politics I am sure they could do XBL/PSN swaps via a person's bungie.net account that has both. Alas.
Edit: I may not be remembering bungie.net accounts correctly.
The free digital upgrade is long over, but just after the TTK launched I loaded an alt up on the 360 while my partner played on the One.

I haven't tried the latest roll, but I can tell you that all Sidearms feel basically identical

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am going to grab it anyways. Shotgun ammo is nerfed into oblivion right now, and sidearms seem to be a little more ammo friendly. I feel like I can use them a bit more. and the roll is excellent.

Tether + weapons + blessing + ToM and you can kill the Servitor boss easily in under 8 seconds. LOL
I don't think it's really worth using for the first 2 rounds but definitely the last.
