Signs point to no.

If it wasnt for Gears Ultimate and MGSV i might have been tempted by this as I waited for Halo 5. Will still check in for impressions to see if this all pans out.
I gotta give some props to Bungie, everything I read about the taken king has me thinking of giving Destiny a second chance but I'm also kind of hoping for a reasonable price to pay to upgrade my barebones physical disc. I feel like I only got half a game when I bought destiny a year ago and now it sounds like they finally finished the other half and want me to pay full price for it and ... I just don't feel like it. Too much other stuff to play right now , but hey , it's the thought that counts. Maybe in a few months I'll splurge.
No no no no no. God damn it. This *almost* makes me want to throw down 50 bucks for the TTK package.
FUCK
I can't decide. Damn damn damn.

Huh. You're the last person I'd expect to say that lol. I thought you still played the game.
EDIT: I'm way too fast haha

Great post, you have reinforced my decision to buy The Taken King Legendary Edition after skipping vanilla destiny last year.

Not since June. you're the last person i expect to come back considering that you were the first to leave.
Damn, you held the fuck out lol.
I'm guessing you're not going to return? Why'd you stop playing? I figured you'd be in Destiny for the long run.

I will say that leaving you, Figs, Firehawk, and the rest was difficult as hell. I don't think I've ever said that, but it was piss hard to do.

Based on many reactions in TTK threads, Bungie's really throwing the chum in the water. Possibly getting some old sharks that moved on to sniff the boat again.
Sounds like they're moving in the right direction overall.
It has been interesting watching the general opinion of gaming side threads slowly start shifting these past two months.

There is only a single client version of Destiny regardless of what DLC/Expansions you do or don't purchase, so there's really no point to an "only" TTK physical release. Destiny will be updated to version 2.0 which will include TTK content slightly before or on release date.

So will TTK have its own new fill achievement and trophy list?
Because the changes like the removal of vanguard and crucible marks will overwrite existing trophies.

Now, am I right in thinking that if you got Destiny for £40 and the two DLC's for £20 each that means you've paid £80 so far? Plus another £40 for TTK to make £120? Is that correct? Where-as a new player gets it all for £40-£50?
I mean if that's correct then my God they've not just taken the piss, they've boxed it, shipped it by courier to the airport and sent it on a one way trip around the world!
But I assume I am wrong because this would be bonkers, right?

The new stuff sounds interesting, but I got burned badly by Bungie with vanilla Destiny.
Though I haven't played Destiny since December of last year, and I'm able to upgrade using the Legendary method, the upgrade system is garbage. People should be able to buy whatever DLC they want. If Activision were to try something like this with their DLC for Call of Duty, they'd be in a very bad situation.
I'll probably wait a little bit longer to see if they come out with anything more comprehensive. It is annoying to find games coming out like the state of Destiny originally was.

I stopped playing in October last year but all of this sounds REALLY interesting but I will resist until I hear some impressions from the community.
The best-case scenario is that you might be able to buy The Taken King Legendary Edition for $40 around Black Friday. But you can buy it for $50 on Day 1 if you have Amazon Prime or Best Buy Gamer's Club Unlimited. I don't really see the point in waiting over 10 bucks, but others may.
In a game with a linear character progression system, you at some point have to bring all players to parity with DLC and expansion packs. The Dark Below and House of Wolves are meant to take your character from Level 20-34. If you didn't have those you'd be stuck grinding vanilla missions or Crucible matches for nearly 15 levels.

I would love to be able to buy a new disc that has both DLCs and the expansion included on that physical disc. I had the limited edition pre-ordered as I'd assumed this was the case, but if it's just DLC codes with a vanilla disc I'd rather just buy the DLC. Shame, but I'm not spending £40 on a nice box and a little book. Probably almost the same book as I got last time, too.

So are you saying I can use my 1000+ Plasteel Plating to upgrade Warlock armor?

I will take a patch free to fix up what I already paid for. Just put me back in the position I expected to be in when I bought the original launch game..

Have Bungie said anything about a iPad native app? Would be the final cherry on top to finally have that.
I expect all of your stored crafting mats will get automatically converted once 2.0 goes live.So are you saying I can use my 1000+ Plasteel Plating to upgrade Warlock armor?

Sounds like some outlets will feel justified in reviewing the game again.

I read the whole post but what if I only own vanilla Destiny and none of the expansions? Will I receive the new subclass for my level 32 hunter at least, even I I don't buy TTK?

Oh that sounds great thanks for the update. It does seem Bungie are really trying to improve on so many areas that they realize fell short in Destiny 1.0 so I am hearing a lot of positive elements for taken king that keep me optimistic.
Don't pre-order games.

So if I were possibly interested in jumping back in, and had level 31-32 guys, should I wait until Taken King and the new leveling system is introduced?
lol, right. Guess expectations have been built up sky high again. Personally, looking forward to the new puny, bite-sized, overpriced DLC with pretentiously self-aggrandizing pre-release spiel, that delivers close to none of what it's hyped itself up to be.
I'm probably just bitter though.

Or realistic.
Sorry if this has been answered before but I thought that after the Luke Smith shitstorm a while ago they said they would offer a digital edition that inclused all the bonus items but not the original game and all the expansions so people who already have everything don't get fucked over. That edition is still MIA. Did I misread that or what's the deal with that?
So you don't know what you're talking about? Cool!
Come back Zony! We miss you.

I have a question then. If we moved on, deleted game from hard drive, sold the game, then come back with ttk legendary edition, are we starting from scratch or do our characters still exist on the account?
So there was that guy and he was like "bitch left!" so I was like "OMG!" ;D
(I'll be back for the New Mega-Expansion™
Yeah you probably are. The 15th of next month will tell if you're right, I'm remaining cautiously optimistic.
characters still exist
And then he forgot about triple jump as was like "poutain".
