So much has changed since you stopped it's impossible to go through it all. Your best bet would be to play around a bit and come back with specific questions rather than something so general :)

I'll have a stab at some brief highlights

1) Dark Below and House of Wolves DLC missions now integrated into story
2) Character level is now no longer attached to your gear and you raise it by earning XP only. New level cap is 40.
3) You now have a new stat called light level, which shows how powerful a guardian is based upon their gear. Gain better gear to get better light level and take on more difficult enemies
4) Crucible marks & vanguard marks have been abolished and combined into legendary marks
5) Class specific armor materials have been abandonned and now all calsses need a single "Armor Material" to rank up their armor or "weapon parts" to rank up their weapons.
6) Stat values have been normalized across all items to make them directly comparable. 170 is the max defense value for any piece of armor and the max attack value for any year 1 item. All year 2 items appear to max out at approx 280 defense / attack.
8) your light level is now calculated based upon the defense level of your ghost, and your class item, and at rank 40 a new item slot called artefact
9) you can now swap out ghosts to gain more defense and gain new perks
10) Much more emphasis on quests and less emphasis on repattive missions
11) Lots of existing content has been "questified"
12) voice of ghost has been replaced by one voiced by Nolan North
13) You can now upgrade weapons using legendary marks and they break down into legendary marks, simplfying the number of in game currencies.
14) nightfall no longer gives a weekly XP buff
15) weekly heroic strike that gave strange coins has gone
16) strike playlist has been overhauled and simplified. Now grant strike specific rewards and number of difficulty levels available reduced.
17) taken king adds a new patrol destination - the dreadnaught.
18) bounties can now be handed in from quest screen, progress can be tracked through your ghost and you can hold 16 of them plus quests
19) 5000 XP bounties now gone, replaced with easier 3000 XP bounties, to be supplemented through additional much harder weekly bounties with bigger XP.


plus lots of new content. Those are the main stand out ones for me.

I'm a bit miffed that the Suros Arsenal weapons are stupid green 160s. What a waste of money that was.

Rocking a few legendary 240 attack weapons and some New Monarchy boots atm. Will be playing the crap out of this this week :D

At the rate you're going I think you will have played through all the new content before I even get online :p

Edit: Yeah seems stupid to offer a pre order time exclusive bonus which is almost useless to us now and certaintly useless to anyone when it is opened up in a few months.
 
Its a bit cheeky to advertise a special weapons pack that is worse than 95% of guns in the game no? Gets people excited for nothing.

After the Vanguard pack from the original game I never expected them to be good tbh. I think they're designed for new players, not current ones.

I'm getting green 165 weapons from legacy strikes, seems useless all round tbh. Vanguard where worse, I was all excited as I joined late that they would help me, by the time I had the marks I had much better items.
 
Well that was an unexpected result, finished the H.&S course early, bombed it home...beat the traffic and finally home to give TTK a bash yayyyy for me :D
 
Looks like Royal Mail have lost my order, no idea why Amazon choose them to deliver.

Quick question to those that have the retail version: is it true that the game is packaged with just the Destiny 1 disc and a code to redeem the expansions?
 
Just loaded up the game for the first time in months and there's a 17GB update. I think I've been away too long :D

Haven't even looked at any DLC yet.
 
245 light....57 legendary marks....anyone gonna be up for some heroic strikes? I still got the heroic story to do for 15 marks but don't fancy solo-ing it.
