You have missed out on some of the crazy new exotics then.

Jumpy jumpy boots for the hunter and the invincible sheep helmet for the warlock.

Destiny 1 has been basically a huge beta test and they are finally understanding what works and what doesn't.

I have figured out I really like the destiny mechanics/engine but I find the grind is far too much. I may switch to XB1 and Halo 5 (dedicated servers and practically the same engine).

I got the helmet by basically spamming the helmet engram when Xur had it.

I've not got any of the new exotics weapons.. I've only got one 34 lol

I honestly haven't missed the game, I've missed the people far more!

Someone on Reddit has spent a monstrous amount of time compiling all of the info we know about The Taken King so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...he_taken_king_compilation_megathread_updated/

That actually sounds like a substantial amount in TTK. I still don't understand the story missions though, all the information we have is 8 story missions with more unlocked after. Why is it simply 'more' rather than a number? Considering Destiny is continually slated for lack of content then surely a selling point would be to say there are 16 story missions (or however many) rather than being ambiguous. The cynic in me thinks they are being delibrately ambiguous.

I like the PvP updates though with the inclusion of actual objective game modes rather than 10 variations on TDM. Not sure about the CTF though, I have always liked the 'traditional' CTF as it forces you to work as a team and protect the flag carrier.

Are you quoting me there from the other night or is it not just me that calls them jumpy jumpy boots :D

Are they not being ambiguous due to format exclusivity etc.. certain missions may only be playable through certain promotions etc.

Sounds like a pain but might be the reason..
 
The game is rather stale atm parsnip.

I only do 3 nf's and 3 weeklies and that is it. That takes maybe 1-3 hours max and all done on tuesday.

I've started doing the crota raid to try and get the nechro but again that's maybe 1-2 hours on a friday.

inbetween that it's rocket league and my backlog of killzone, the last of us, tomb raider, etc.

i'm waiting for new games to come out and taken king will be my last dlc i reckon for destiny unless pvp improves drastically.

the content just isn't worth it. after a month it's all done and dusted and your max level. all that's left is to try and get the new exotics / raid weapons most of which you will never use.
 
There are many possibilities to why they haven't given specific details to act 2. It may be because of platform exclusivity, it may be because there is a surprise in there and it will be a big reveal when we play it or there could be that 8 missions form a story while the others are standalone and fill in some backstory or lore so not technically 'story' missions. Alternatively, my cynacism might be correct and Bungie are being ambiguous to cover how little content there really is in TTK.
 
I suspect the ambiguity regarding numbers is due to the fact they don't know how many missions are going to be in it yet. Still a month away and afaik TTK is download only so no physical distribution, means they can be developing stuff right up to the wire.

You should come back for TTK mate, well maybe, after we see how much content it has :rolleyes: :)

I've just been playing a lot of PvP, and helping out people who need random raid / PoE stuff. This is my normal strategy for games anyway, especially if they are FPS multiplayer, I just end up smashing it until something better comes up!
 
Company update at work tomorrow which starts at 6, going to have to catch up with that alter then.

Teaser is up, interesting there is year 2 exotics, maybe there will be an upgrade system.

some intersting stuff in that video, collections system looks like a neat idea. Sort of looked like Year 2 Exotic are duplicates (some at least) of Year 1... hope that doesn't mean getting another version...
 
My guess would be there might be an upgrade system, to take a year 1 exotic and move it too the new level cap, or maybe some sort of quest to upgrade each exotic, could be interesting, if it is just getting another drop then thats some BS.
 
Brother Vance this week, boots.

Warlock +152 INT, special + scout ammo
Titan +77 DIS +79 STR, AR + heavy ammo
Hunter +149 DIS, HC + heavy ammo

and just for OweO...The Messenger :)
 
I did see that. First I was "meh, got that armour", then I was like "OMFG Messenger...... **** yes!"

:D

Finished off my Lord of Wolves bounty yesterday. Absolutely love it. The highlight for me though was helping a level 26 finish off a level 28 PoE netting him his first ever Exotic (Suros) weapon.

What time does the stream start tonight? I assume 7ish based on the US time.
 
I think it's 7 UK time.

Someone at work posted a screenshot of an 'Exotic Weapon Blueprints' panel. Appears as if we can have a library of all the exotic weapons we've obtained, and presumably 'craft' them as required....I gather the same is happening with shaders, so we will have a terminal that has all the shaders we have unlocked and can grab them whenever.

Yeah you can briefly see it in the vid posted above by Fallen.

That could be their way of abating the vault storage issue longer term.

Either than or each weapon blueprint will have a quest line to it (like the current exotic bounties). This seems unlikely though.
 
No Land Beyond was a Dark Below drop for PS4 wasn't it? Interesting to see it dropping with a TTK icon in that video as hopefully it means we can upgrade Exotics from Year One.

Nope, The 4th Horseman was the exotic from TDB for PS4. My 6 or 7 in a row a while back is testament to that!
