[b]Short Explanation of Why the Taken King is a Failure - BUNGIE READ AND FIX[/b]
All of our efforts, grind and luck for a whole year wasted, as our old gear is not upgrade-able. Raid gear, Trials gear, POE gear, even exotics... all trashed.
The new light system is horrible, making the game more grindy and meticulous, eliminating customization whatsoever. The infusion system was added as a band aid afterthought, but punishes you by reducing your light level by 20% and eating up your marks, glimmer and materials.
The new raid is worse than VOG and TDB combined, and twice as long. Rather than requiring skill, its just a huge test of patience.
Trials of Osiris is currently gone, and still no private match support or in game ranking. Rosters are still a mess, not organized by alphabet, and clan roster is still nonexistant.
The Taken King - TaKing Away your Gear, and giving you 5000% more grind and nerfs. RIP Gally, Icebreaker, and new Black Spindle

You should go cry in a corner alone. It's less embarrassing.
-
Gee whiz, someone poop in your cornflakes this morning?
-
I sort of agree. But, playing Taken King almost feels like an entirely different game, minus the longggg waits for matchmaking. I enjoy all the changes and honestly dont miss much about my old weapons or gear.
-
Lololololol cry more bitch
-
I'm putting a riddle up: It's two words It's my reaction to this post And everyone probably agrees with it If you want to know what it is just read the spoiler [spoiler]-blam!- you[/spoiler]

Can I borrow some salt?

First off the new raid is the best yet. 2nd the light system is way better than it was. There was no difference between level 33 and 33.9. Scrublord

Adapt

How is customization less than before? Find a piece of gear you like for looks, beef it up if its purple? Losing 20% of light is an exaggeration considering it seems random, I've had light take the same number as the item I'm using to infuse, even with a 10 point spread. The grind is alot more fun I think considering strikes get randomized a bit as far as enemies, and you can just grind Court of Oryx, which I dunno about u, but I find it fun as hell with some friends

Troll. Muted. Suggest the rest of the community do the same.

Cocaines a hell of a drug

I gotta disagree with this one man. Ttk is insanely fun so far and a lot more rewarding. Don't get me wrong I had fun in year one but ttk is Killin it!

Leaving all our old stuff behind was a good thing, wiped the slate clean, gave us something to work towards, rather than spending 5 minutes upgrading all our old stuff and sitting there thinking, well now what do I do? It got rid of the same boring loadouts I'd always see Fatebringer/BlackHammer/Gjallarhorn etc. It was boring and there was no variety. Ever since the Taken King came out, I've never seen such variety in Destiny before, people are actually using different weapons for once. It's like the Vanilla days all over again. The new light system is a hell of a lot better than the old one. Every point counts, rather than just bunches of 12s. Rather than suffering a 30% damage reduction for missing one light point, you only suffer, say a 2% reduction. The new raid is the best raid they've ever made. Actually has mechanics and while yes you can call the bosses bullet sponges, the way the fights work they need to be bullet sponges. Trials being gone right now is a good thing too. Lets them test the waters with Crucible, especially with the new subclasses being involved. Private matches and that sort of thing, I agree with you on. The Taken King - A hell of a lot better than what you're making it out to be.
-
I'm doing great without Y1 weapons. I'm enjoying the hell out of my sword and my new subclass. The raid is better than VoG and CE combined even tho I haven't finished it yet.
-
"THE WORLD IS CHANGING AROUND ME AND I'M OLD AND SCARED" That's you. That's you, OP. While Year 1 was nice, why stay with the same stuff forever? That's boring.
-
They renewed the fun and need to lvl up again, what fun would it be to be highest power so soon, chill off this is a game, waste your energy on something better
-
The raid is awesome and I use lfg still a great experience on par with vog
-
Well I see you're on playstation battlefront will be coming out soon as for me halo will be the day I jump ship from destiny
-
I mean a lot of people are 300+ light already, so technically it took people two weeks to reach max light and I'm assuming it will take another 2 to acquire all the good guns, which = it took them almost 1 year to give us a months worth of game play Tbh it's not worth 40, id say 20 would be a fair price
-
Edited by the spicy one: 9/27/2015 12:03:14 AMOh no year 1 gear isn't as good oh my god the world is ending. Why do you care about year one gear so much? So you can use the same shit over and over?
-
We have stepped into a w- ah well this post is now about pizza!
-
There are checkpoints you don't need to do it all at once
-
Your salt makes my chips too salty even for more.
-
MMORPG games like Destiny require you to grind for gear and level and if we used the same stupid broken guns for the entire 10 years of destiny the game would get old quick and they made grinding feel way more fun then other games that require a grind so gtfo scrub and learn games you like the same guns forever play CoD noob god I hate you people
-
Good thing words like failure are just a description for an opinion. Also your biggest gripe is that the gear you earned is no long worthwhile? you seriously want to continue using all of your old exotics and weapons from year one? It has been a full year, aren't you tired of the same -blam!-ing weapons? Everyone used the same shit for a full year, a game doesn't move forward by being stuck in the past. It moves forward by changing and evolving. You have your opinions as well as everyone else. Turns out nearly everyone else doesn't view TTK as a failure but a step in the right direction. If you seriously think that they were going to fix everything that was wrong with the game then you'd be wrong. It will keep changing and they will probably replace the light system when they find something that works better as long with everything else. As for why trials is gone, if I had to put money on it, I'd say it is because they are waiting to see where the new classes and weapons stand in crucible before adding back their only competitive mode.

Well if they let u keep all ur old stuff it'll be house of wolves all over with just using same old raid weeps and all the old exotics they did this so u would adapt to new guns and I totally agree with the reason y. They do need to make it that u can get something out of scrapping all ur old stuff
