I wonder how many glitches we'll be seeing in the next raid.

Destiny: House of Wolves DLC trailer
- Thread starter LiK
- Start date
As an outsider looking in on this whole Destiny thing (and as someone who's been thinking of buying a copy of the game for a while) It really does look like they're treating each expansion exactly like how WoW treats it's big patches, except they aren't getting people to pay $10-$15 a month while waiting for it to drop. Instead, everyone pays for the "patch" at one time. New dungeons with new loot and enemies, a little new story, (hopefully) new areas, and a whole new grind progression to get ready to kill the "Big Bad of the Patch". Have they done any major talent changes or rebalances?
Destiny 'expansions' have an embarrassing amount of content compared to its actual MMO big brothers like FFXIV and WoW, just for your information. It's kind of unfair to Destiny to compare its DLC to substantive patch content.

What's the over/under on Marcel being top poster in (yet another) Destiny thread?
Instant disinterest.
Stop doing this devs/pubs. It was cool back in 2004.
Graphics are generally good enough now, show off your actual game.
I'm pretty sure those people in 19 OTs got me beat but your cute little efforts at zingers are always welcome.

I have somewhat low expectations for this patch.
If it's on the level of TDW... i can't imagine the reef to hold much.. for example... i don't expect a reef patrol, cinematic cut scenes... or many missions in the reef. I expect something very straight forward... which is somewhat of a letdown considering all the promise this game had.
I know a major expansion is coming this year... but next year i hope Destiny 2 really delivers on the promise of an expansive world... thats NOT told in grimoire cards

Do you REALLY want me to go into the "top posters" lists on Destiny gaming side threads and take the screencaps, Marcel.
Because it seems like you're daring me.
Here's how much I care about what you, another nobody on the internet, chooses to do:

Wasn't the Queen pissed at em already? I remember fighting that faction of enemies at her behest with those bounties back when I still played this.
Kinda strange to hit that same note twice.

Oh, it just reminds me of big patches have cinematics that try and show story, like the Siege of Orgrimmar patch for WoW. While it only added one new dungeon, it did add a ton of bosses, gear, and a fun location that was totally worth it. I don't mean anything sinister by it
And I mean it when I say I'm thinking about buying a copy, I just need to figure out if I should wait for an edition that's released with all the DLC included.Edit: VVV I feel like a child who's wandered into a movie VVV

So, approximately "a lot less then I care about making sure I do my 20+ post 'your costs are truly sunk' + 'you're a brainwashed sheeple' song and dance in every Destiny thread" routine?
We know you have a schtick. It's somewhat embarrassing that, even post-ban, you refuse to at least acknowledge it.

You're better off waiting on a complete edition. Right now you're paying a big tax on what has been widely regarded as lackluster DLC masking itself as an expansion.

Damn, another month....

Yeah, unless you have friends to play with, I'd advise waiting for a GOTY edition.
Marcel see's a Destiny thread, feels the need to go in and shit on it. It's happened with every thread so far, and will continue to happen in every thread going onwards.
But then, how can we "humanoids" be all that we can be and save the universe? We are the only ones capable of doing so.

I'm sure the 2 month delay on its release was to ensure it was jam packed with content, and had no bugs. Right!?

Is this expansion also going to feature re-skinned / enlarged enemies sold to us as new enemy types?

You're not alone. I've been playing since launch and have been having a blast.

I wonder if they will make the terrible mistake of upgrading store bought armor and weapons to be a tier higher then the current raids again, blowing up all those rare weapons and armors you found in the last 4 months because the NPC's sell gear a level above.
Worst mistake of the first DLC was this, the second mistake was lack of content for the price.

It does share a lot in common with MMOs. But imagine an MMO with 4 zones and 20 quests, 5 group dungeons and 1 raid. If you include the first expansion, add 4 quests, 1 dungeon, and 1 raid to that. Destiny has always been really thin on content, and instead relies on a gear grind to give it longevity.
Don't get me wrong, the game is a lot of fun. I love the shooting mechanics and the class abilities. I just wish there was more content. Like 10 times as much.
Maybe, they'll fix it?
My hopes are low (uninstalled my digital version levels of low), but if they were to take a hammer to the progression/upgrade system and rebuild it with a focus on the player then I might be tempted back.
As it is, I expect all the best weapons to be reset to zero for grinding again, with new upgrade items. That and absolute minimum creativity/content added. (I mean, it's the Fallen again, how many more enemy types do we think they're going to add.)
EDIT: Diablohead knows what's up.

That's pretty much how I feel, too.
Don't do this to yourself.
Because that would make me want to do it to myself, too, and I don't wanna.

Actually, if comparing to an mmo, WoW had 43 zones at launch. If I do a search on wowhead.com for quests that can be done from level 1-60, there's 5859 results. Compare that to 4 zones and 20 quests in Destiny.
Actually, that trailer looked quite low budget... disturbingly so.
And is it just me, or is there no mention of a new Raid?

It will raise the question of how many actually complete raids and have all the gear, in VoG less than a half completed the raid compared to TDB and is logical to add vendor that sells slightly better armor than the older raid content at least in MMOs.
Oh so THAT's why they never revisited the Queen event... or repeated it... they were saving it for this DLC.
oh my... has the internet meltdown started yet?
I'm honestly OK with this if they replace it with a Horde mode... I'll be ALL over that! I'd say 5-10% of Destiny players (tops) took part in the Raids... I certainly didn't, and I'm level 31.

Even with these two "expansions" of content, Destiny doesn't have a complete game's worth of content. I would have said I hope they rethink the quantity of content released with Destiny II but the amount of money Destiny made suggests they'll never change and people keep buying and playing it so I guess I'm done with this franchise forever since it will never change and improve.
There's more actual content in the first area of Bloodborne than all of Destiny + 2 expansions and that's really sad considering how much more Destiny cost to make and how much it will cost players to buy all the content.

Expand your Destiny adventure with a wealth of weapons, armor, and gear to earn in new story missions, three new competitive multiplayer maps, and a new cooperative Strike. Expansion II introduces a new competitive elimination mode in the Crucible and an all-new arena activity The Prison of Elders. The Reef is open. Join the Awoken and hunt down the Fallen rising against us.
uhh no Raid? huh?

The loot drop rate for vog was rather low so not too many are/were going to have full setups but after weeks of running it and finally getting a chest plate, a week later it's classed as low tier because the store has 31 light gear selling for cheap.
It was really upsetting, the npc gear could have been set to 30 to match it but nope they went one bullshit step ahead and did a goof.
