Do your friends still play? If so its never to late. If they are willing to help you run some old content for fun and get you geared up I say go for it.

nah... i started in march or so, had a great time.
that said i let my ps+ account expire since i figured destiny 2 will be a more "realized" game. either way though definitely not too late, but that window is running out
Ah, the old 'they have eyes and ears and they use them' explanation.

It has never been a better time to jump in. DO IT
Yep. Everyone can get the new Year 3 ballerhorn. The preorder is for the iron skin version of it.
It's just one of those things they had to deal with transitioning over to a new game. When your tools are in flux, functionality is more important than optimization.
For example, deploying Halo 2 matchmaking updates literally broke the game when they deployed them. You'd end up in alternate playlists, with broken settings, each time it updated. By the time the playlist iteration tool was on the Reach version, they could deploy playlists nearly at will with no interruption, could have them shut on and off automatically, etc. This was due to experience but also building out the toolchain and utilities to speed up deployments, testing, automation, etc.
There's also the fact that Destiny areas have to be aware of objects and things that can spawn outside of them. I can almost guarantee one part of the long compile times is that it's cross-referencing all object interactions for the final build, you can't just change things without that change being considered by everything.
Hell, I have a game I made that takes 15 minutes to compile changes just for the scripts alone because every single script in the game must be compiled to change a single line. That's just the way that particular engine is designed.
Their iteration capability is speeding up as they acquire institutional knowledge on all it's features and quirks and the util buildout continues.

Thank goodness.
No. They only said it supports the live team, the events in between expansions.
Ah okay. In that case I'd much prefer a good sized paid expansion.

Kinda cool. Idk, jumped off the train in October and I haven't really missed the game. TTK was good and fun but I was mainly a Crucible guy and the changes they made to it killed my interest, + lots of important crucible stuff being being gated behind time consuming and tedious SP activities.
Seeing lotsssss of more of the same old same old in this. Lots of familiar gun designs, still the same sound effects, respinning the Fallen as a new "faction", armor designs seem pretty bland, just eh. I'm sure the first run through the raid will be exciting as always but I'll wait to see if at least there is some good-ass exotics to grind for...

You mean an Expansion Pass?
If so, unlikely since Destiny 2 will follow after. Then a Expansion Pass for that. I have no doubt that there maybe some additions in this expansion that will lay the foundation for Destiny 2 (or really Destiny Year 3.)
I think the likely hood of Destiny 2 being a new start (i.e. everyone starts over) is very low since we know our characters will "transfer" over.

I've played Destiny since launch and through TTK. I stopped playing last year and I haven't really been back since the last few updates.
This latest expansion has my interest, but I'm not really sure where to begin in order to get back into the game. It feels like so much has been added that I'm figuring out the game again.
Any suggestions on what to do, collect, and see since TTK?

Canadian gaffers like me will probably appreciate knowing the PSN Store Canada seems to show $29.99 CDN.
Really helps in our era of $80 games D:

Yes, can't wait for that. Also, all of the other improvements with dropping last gen. Definitely the most exciting thing about this expansion.

Very conflicted on this. I've been clean since before Hard Mode King's Fall. Destiny became a second job for me and part of why I got out was (for my time) a lack of interesting content.
That said, another big problem of mine was my weekly raid group was incredibly toxic. Very serious business, no patience, but also disrespectful of everyone's time. I ended my Destiny run playing sherpa (and happily, I might add) to teach new players King's Fall, hoping that eventually a decent group of people might play on the regular.
Will have to see what reviews of this look like. Don't think I can jump right in at launch with Destiny products anymore.
