There has been no mention of future DLC as of now. But I would assume it's safe to think there will be 2 "expansions" like vanilla Destiny.
Destiny - The Taken King |OT| Time to Explain
- Thread starter Twilight Gap
- Start date
They haven't announced anything but supposedly there are 2 small expansions coming again.

Court of Oryx is awesome.
Just need the Antiquated Rune summon to finish off that Eris quest, but I don't know how to get it. I bet that one will be ridiculous.

Thanks. If there are big expansions in the future I might try looking for an american copy of the game because my region's PSN store is really expensive. Plus sometimes they don't have all the dlc.

We actually don't have much to go on. Bungie's been very quiet regarding any form of Year 2 expansion pass and the like.
I remember reading some rumors that went around before TTK's release about Bungie wanting to have future DLC essentially be free updates. It seems like they're still sorting out where they want to take this between now and whatever next year's Fall offering will be.

I own digital Destiny with both expansions and the Taken King itself costs $40? Is there really enough content to justify that price?
I sorta felt ripped off by the past two expansions.

More than enough if you are into repeating end-game content. If you just want to play every story mission and strike once, it might not be worth it.

You have to kill enough taken to get them to summon Lieutenants. Then you have to kill enough Lieutenants to summon the big guy.

Yeah a guy I played with is using Stormcalller and it is pretty awesome. It was the first subclass I unlocked but it seems everyone I play with is going Stormcaller so I have to switch it up.
Yeah the smoke grenade can turn and you and allies invisible if you step into it. Im also looking to use this class mainly in PvE. GG/BD seem to be the undisputed class for PvP for hunters. Although the Keen Scout perk looks like it could be pretty useful for Trials/3v3 modes.
My legendary edition showed up yesterday. Never played Destiny before except for the very first free demo mission of finding your first ship.
Feels a bit overwhelming to be honest in terms of what exactly I'm supposed to be doing. There seem to be a lot of mechanics to wrap my brain around.
The game feels incredibly similar to halo though which is a good thing I guess but the whole MMO aspect of it is something I'm having to get used to. Some random lvl 40 guy was in my world helping shoot guys and then he ran away right before I fought that boss that had the warp drive for my ship and then it happened again (dude helping me and then all of a sudden, I'm on my own) for the Wizard fight in the next mission.
Also, these 2 bosses I've killed so far, I don't recall them dropping any loot or anything. In the old E3 demo/reveal, when they killed that boss, they both got cool weapons and I haven't gotten any... just 2 pieces of average (at best) gear in the mission summary screen. Is this right?
I got a lot of Wiki reading to do apparently but it's fun.

it's incredible at clearing rooms of enemies. Can't wait to get the blink ability - I feel like it'd be essential both offensively and defensively, because you kill dudes so fast you need to be able to get to more dudes.
Haven't used it in PVP yet and I won't until I get a few more levels in it. I don't really like Nova Bomb or Radiance all that much in PVP so it's more of a 'will I miss Blink?' question. Curious what the best grenade is too, the thunderstorm grenade is pretty great in PVE but those enemies like to stand around.
But still, when I 'get serious' I don't see anything beating PVE Sunsinger. Fireborn and fusion grenades are just too good. But maybe being able to just completely reset the battlefield with Stormtrance might actually be more useful in some situations - getting overrun in Prison of Elders for example. But even then, you'd be crazy not to want Fireborn for Skolas.
I just purchased TTK dlc and my PS4 is having serious trouble trying to download the update. I already downloaded the 17 gig update a few days ago. Is anyone else having trouble or is it just the servers? Its taking longer to prepare than anything ive ever downloaded before.
NVM, it finally went through.

Are you stuck on "preparing to download"?
That means you're almost all set. The "preparing to download" it is checking the integrity of the big patch you already downloaded and then it will just download one last little piece. I was stuck on Prepare for like ten minutes then it did the actual download real fast.

Oh my god, omnigul takes a shit load of damage to kill. Way more than other strike bosses.

No, I think he means there are no more errands to run for what's her face. At the bottom where there used to be bounties, it's just empty.
No way to increase your rank with her anymore.
It does the same thing to me with the lady at the reef. I can see my rank and the rewards but there aren't any bounties to take on.

Yeah, had the same problem. The download was preparing for like 15 minutes, the 80 MB Patch still needed like 20 minutes to finish.
Sometimes you just have to love the PSN.

Well, to be fair, they did change up a bunch of the core gameplay systems recently, so it made sense to me before but now I'm confused as well. I'm sure it will all make sense by the time I finish TTK.
230 is ok for the first level we were 240 and tried the second. It spawned a shielded oger and 3 ultra wizards. We got close but ran out of time. I'm 260+ now so it shouldn't be a problem tonight.

Played the Taken version of Cerberus Vae III today. My strike mates were randoms and tried to treat it like the old version of the strike.
This meant most of the strike was solo'd by me and the other two guys were constantly trying to speed run, only to find out there was a new/different objective they had to come to and actually help me.
Also, holy crap at that mid-boss. That thing was a beast:

Instead of a Tank, there is a giant stealth Taken Gate Lord. With tons of Blights all around. Was crazy challenging.
Wait, I thought it was only the Playstation-exclusive strikes that were re-released with revamp alongside their originals.
So is the old Cerberus Vae III gone?

I did that fight last night. Was really cool.
The Gatelord felt super different and a nice change of pace from the pretty boring way the tank fight usually goes.
I hope the other remixed Strikes are that interesting.

Yeah. I asked a hardcore Destiny buddy of mine about the changes to light - aside from the fact that it applies to more than just armor pieces now - and by the end of that conversation we were both hopelessly confused ;p
Going to give him a few days and then ask again

Rahool is back and better than ever!
Just got my first Year 2 Exotic weapon from him, forgot to take up the name and just shut down PS4 but it's basically the needle weapon Covenant in Halo use, in fusion rifle form.
I love it. 290 damage and all, so I guess the exotics from Rahool have better damage than the ones you can buy from the monitor?

One thing that took me a long time to wrap my head around was the transitions between public and private spaces. When on a story mission, you'll often start, or pass through, public spaces where other players are roaming. That's when you ran into the level 40 guys. Typically when you transition into a 'darkness zone', and sometimes before, you have forked off into your own game where only you and anyone in your fire team will be. When in public spaces, even when on a mission, you can wander around, gather materials or chests, and participate in public events (though things will be a little rough when you are low level).
As for loot drops, they were showing a mocked up example of a pretty high level fight, and when the game came out loot drops were far stingier. Loot acquisition has also changed a lot since then: For a lot of the early quest lines, you'll get your gear as rewards for completing quest steps when you turn them in at the Tower; you'll get the rest from the Gunsmith or from engrams. With Taken King, it's the closest it's been to what they showed at that E3 reveal; for instance I helped take down a strike boss last night, who literally dropped a bunch of loot that turned out to be great gear for my character. But the loot mix has shifted to a lot of dedicated loot streams via quests, vs. mostly random.
I imagine Destiny is pretty overwhelming right now for people stepping into it fresh. What's nice about the current leveling system is, anything you do will progress you. If you want to keep doing story missions, keep doing them. If you want to take a break and do patrols, or Crucible, or work on bounties, or side quests, do those things. It will all advance your level and get you toward the later part of the game. At level 25 you'll open up the Taken King content.

anyone know the max light level?

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
I assume being fully raid geared is 300, but I'm not sure.

Nope, old one is still there as an option.
All the Mars strikes got "Taken Versions". The Taken versions did no replace the old versions, but are merely an alternative.
I think it's currently 280 until the raid comes out.
That's cool.

Damn, Hunters getting no love again? I haven't had a chance to use Nightstalker yet, but the Titan and Warlock supers look way more useful (and fun). Hunters are awesome, but the lame armor and okay subclasses (especially for high end PVE) is frustrating.
Is it just mars?cany other remixes?
Kor of Memory

I haven't actually played any of the old strikes yet to know. I just remember the comment from Luke around E3 that all the strikes on mars were getting Taken versions. Dust Palace and Undying Mind have one, too.

I've posted scattered thoughts in the other thread and wont be writing any kind of review until I understand the new systems. But my impressions so far is that the game goes downhill after the main story completes and I have not enjoyed my time with it since.
I think it's way worse than the original grind. Before I could do whatever I want and hope to luck into drops. It wasn't ideal by any means, but it was obvious to me when I was getting more powerful.
Now I'm being thrown junk weapons and junk armor with ridiculously underwhelming stats and I'm forced to wear them to level up in order to complete all of my quests. Because those are now what is standing in the way.
Perhaps it will be better i the long run. I'm not playing the game anymore than I usually do, but it feels unnecessarily convoluted to me right now.

From what I've heard you can infuse an item with another item of EQUAL or lesser value.
So if you got a 280 helmet, you can infuse it with another 280 helmet, and end up with a higher armor helmet.

Or maybe you're expecting too much from a 24 hour period?
I admit I've only played a day and I've been lucky enough to end up around LL257. I was lucky enough to be gifted almost all my gear from Dead Orbit though. They were nice enough to give me an AR, Shotgun, Fusion, Rocket, Ghost, Gloves, Boots, and Titan Mark.
Either way though, the new system is built in a way to keep offering you rewards. If you are at LL150, then every piece of gear you get is going to be ATK/DEF 155-180. If you are LL220, then you're going ot get ATK/DEF 225-250, and so on.
Thus, you will progress no matter how you play the game.
I think it only works for you though. If you are on my team and tag somebody, I can't see the tag.
