TTK is Amazing

Ok, so I don't post very often, but have done so on occasion when I feel strongly enough about something. For example, I made a post complaining about the Black Hammer nerf when they announced what they were doing with update 2.0. I've long since forgiven Bungie for the BH and other nerfs for one very simple reason: The Taken King expansion is nothing short of a masterpiece. What a fantastic revolution to this game! It is a breath of fresh air for sure, and I am enjoying it immensely! Between the quests, special quests for specific items, patrolling the dreadnaught (which I am still just nowhere close to having down yet), all the Taken appearances on other patrols, new strikes, daily's being valuable again, all the new gear and weapons, new sub classes (which are also all awesome!), Court of Oryx, gunsmith test weapons, etc. etc. etc. I had gotten to a point not long after the drop of HoW where I had pretty much done everything there was to do in PvE several times over. I got through simply by shifting my focus to crucible. I'm ok in crucible, but PvE is my true love, and it had gotten stale in HoW. There was nothing left to do, nothing left to grind or try for, so I bided my time in the crucible. Now though, it will be months before I venture back to the crucible, because working a full time job simply doesn't let me do all that I want to get done very quickly in PvE now! And don't even get me started on the new raid!!!! I just went into the King's Fall raid for the first time last night, and HOLY SHIT IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!! By far the best thing Bungie has done with Destiny so far. It is just a fantastic, well designed, and well executed raid. My group only got to the Deathsingers last night before we had to call it (we are going back in to finish the job tonight), but just getting to that point was easily a larger and much more full experience than both of the first two raids combined! Mazes, jumping puzzles, hidden rooms galore; awesome mechanics that aren't immediately obvious, but are also very doable and not buggy, and require full effort and coordination from a full fireteam! It is everything the newest raid should be, and I simply cannot say enough positive things about the experience! We were dying left and right but we had an absolute blast doing it and figuring it out. Again, it was the first trip in for 3 members of our team (I have to drop a thank you to the other 3 who took the time to talk us through things and enough patience to stay with us for a wipe or two): you guys were awesome, and I can't wait to finish the job tonight. In summary, I just wanted to take the time to express my appreciation to Bungie for this expansion. We always find the time to get on here and bitch when we don't like something that Bungie has done or we think they got it wrong, so it is only fair that we do the same when they get it right. Well Bungie, with the TTK, you got just about everything right. You are on the right track for sure, and I can't say enough good things about this expansion. Seriously, bravo. Well done. I tip my hat to you. Keep up the good work, and we'll keep fighting off the darkness. Good luck out there guardians, and enjoy TTK!
