The TTK 'expansion' is basically the World of Retardcraft Shooter edition with WAY WAY WAY less content. And I don't mean like w.o.w. from 10 years ago when there was some fun in it. I mean the insta ADHD version with a billion things to collect and manage that is more of like Dungeons and Dragons for horders.
The TTK has basically made EVERYTHING TAKE LONGER.
They Removed the limit on how many of the new Legendary Marks you can earn in a week. Yahoo!
oh wait - they removed it because now there is no need to limit it. The Heroic Strike that earns 10 Legendary marks is set at Lvl 41.
The regular TTK Strike playlist gives NO MARKS.
They claim to have made the bosses less bullet Spongy. Yahoo!
oh wait - by raising the heroic strike to level 41 they effectively changed EVERY MOB INTO A BULLET SPONGE.
The TTK Heroic Strike Playlist TAKES FOREVER TO GET THROUGH IF YOUR GROUP EVEN BOTHERS TO FINISH.
They Made Rep easier to earn. Yahoo!
oh wait - they changes the rep rewards so now when you get a reputation package THE LEGENDARY GEAR IT CONTAINS WILL NOT BE AT THE FULL 280 Value!!!! You Literally have to 'infuse it' by scrapping gear with better stats and spending 3 of those Legendary Marks that are a pain to earn now, and even then it will take several infusions to get it up to the level you need it to just to have a CHANCE at finishing the Heroic Strikes.
They added new Strikes. Yahoo!
oh wait - they all suck and are basically running from one bullet sponge infestation to the next. It is really bad when a 290 exotic Auto rifle can be shot at a 41 Yellow enemy (not a boss) for a 60 seconds and doesnt kill it before it 2 shots me. Edit: I was shooting it in the head that long.
They made new weapons. Yahoo!
oh wait - they all look like shit - feel like shit - take a million bullets to kill anything.
They added new interesting chests. Yahoo
oh wait - they take keys i don't have and when i do get them i will never remember were the stupid chests are.
They added new mobs. Yahoo!
oh wait - they just reskinned the old ones - made them move completely like crap and added invulnerability if one of there buddys shoots a ray at them from behind.
They added new particle effects and graphics. Yahoo!
oh wait - In addition to all the other nonsence BS light effects that they throw in our faces while we are trying to see things that we are doing, now we can add the Fake'n throwing balls of 'you can't see shit' at us.
If we buy TTK we will be able to enjoy the game more. Yahoo!
oh wait - IT WAS ACTUALLY MORE FUN TO PLAY TTK ERA DESTINY WITHOUT TTK!!!
Every activity that I have done after 2.0 but before buying the TTK 'expansion' was more enjoyable than the same activity was after TTK and reaching level 40!!!!
Patrol - more a pain in the ass
Strike - more a pain in the ass
POE - more a pain in the ass
All the mobs are more a pain in the ass
TTK Destiny is the least enjoyable combat yet in this game.
Edit: In fairness we did get more of the always awesome Nathan Fillion :)

So your easy gear collection grind was changed into something that actually had some difficulty... And fun. The last nightfall before 2.0 was a perfect example of this. I didn't even need to finish my Ghorn clip before valus was down. Ridiculous. Now it actually takes some skill to complete these fights... And you still do get some cool stuff! I think we all got so addicted to the gear grind that we forgot what a fun game looks like. Bungie just gave that back to us. At first I felt like you do, I still hope to get better versions of my old gear, but for now there is plenty of very good content to keep me entertained.

Edited by Gunship: 9/21/2015 5:32:48 PMShooting an enemy for a minute to make it dead is not fun. There is no elegance now. Bungie managed to ruin the one thing they had going for them - good gunplay. This is not entertainment - it is a long grind where clever thinking is discouraged in every way possible. Skill? Your kidding right? It takes no skill to fight these things, it takes the horrible, horrible patience to shoot them a billion times whilest slowly running forward and then backing up when we inevitably get over run. Shooting 5 enemy's in 5 places and getting 5 kills is skill. Used to the old grind? The new grind is a 1000 times worse. The bosses now may take less bullets to drop when your 4 levels higher then they are, but not when they are a level higher. But when they are one little level higher the every day throng of trash mobs take forever. With a year two maxed out exotic auto rifle. I am of course talking about the Heroic Strikes. The only ones worth doing, the only ones that drop Legendary Marks. Destiny now is the antithesis of Fun.

Edited by pacificdune: 9/21/2015 5:39:19 PMOk so let's analyze the raid. We have 3 jumping puzzles and a maze with an interesting mechanic to unlock the chest. On warpriest we can only DPS from an aura which needs to be refreshed by killing adds @ specific times. On golgorath we have taunters and another challenging mechanic. On deathsingers we have platforming to steal the shield. On oryx the bombs do most of the dps. We just stun him with our guns. Yes, you need to work quickly and DPS, but there is more to it than that. Have you beat the raid yet? There is so much more to it than just shooting the boss with a million Ghorn rockets from behind a rock. Honestly I'm not creative enough to think of anything that could be done to make it more opposite than what you are saying.

Edited by Gunship: 9/21/2015 6:51:08 PMI have not beat the raid. Not any of the Raids. I am not alone in this. Do you know why? Because these manipulatave bastards refuse to alow matchmaking for the Raids. I take it for granted that the Raids are Great. Raids are supposed to be great. If they were accessable to everyone who bought the game perhaps that would color my opinion of the game more that it currently does. The rewards looked great for ToO too, especially since I personally am such a fan of Egyptology. Shame I will never get any of them. Some of the best design in game gear was in the ToO Legendary's. Shame that even if I did, they are now useless. Maybe now that I am 40 with great new weapons (sarcasm) I will again try to solo crota. Doubt it will be possible though, they did everything possible in the raids to make them IMPOSSIBLE to solo. That's why the fights require teamwork, not because its more interesting and fun but because it MAKES you pester your friends to buy the game. I am not new to gaming. Not to Raids or MMOs. I played pong when it was first out. Put quarters in the first arcade games. Wrote programs on the first Apple computers sold to the public. I have seen good games. The heart of this game has been stolen and corrupted - either by the imperious oversight of Activision, the Heartlessness (or incompetance) of Bungie or some combination of those. Don't think so? Read some of the Grimoire, read some of what was supposed to be in this game. It makes H.P. Lovecraft seem boring by comparison. For this game I have shelled out $135 bucks for so far (more than any other game I have ever bought), what we have is not a good game. It is a grind fest.

Ok, I see. My honest reply to you is that if you want to fully experience the game, especially trials and kings fall, you need to join a clan and play with the same people over and over. It will change your perspective. The end game content is too difficult for any matchmade team. Too much teamwork is involved. They replaced the bullet sponges with highly coordinated team mechanics. You will not get anywhere with matchmade or LFG teams. Not trying to disagree, just giving you honest input from someone with a hell of a lot of endgame experience. I have completed 200 raids and now oryx. I have been to the lighthouse. You will enjoy the game much more as part of a clan. If you are on PS4 you are welcome to play with ours. Cheers! Pacificdune

360 but I appreciate your offer.

Don't forget about the lack of drops in the raid, I quit half way through because it wasn't worth the time and effort to beat the end game bosses when they don't give you ANYTHING.

^THIS, RIGHT HERE!!! For some stupid reason, the idiots at BungLe™ decided that NOT ONLY IS LESS MORE, but NON is even BETTER THAN THAT!! So they tooled the RNG to lowball roll chances at anything worthy of use, let alone anything worth shouting from the rooftop "OMG LOOK AT THIS FREAKING GUN!!!" There were a lot of problems with Destiny/DB/HoW, but in the end, after all of the frustration, you would hold that Jelly-Horn or Word of Crota in your hand, for example, and think to yourself "DAM, that's a beaut!! Took me it seems forever to get it, but my GOD this gun rocks!!" Now, it seems that any and every programmer at BungLe™ that HATE gamers were moved onto the dev team for the main content. Nerfs already incoming for guns, most notably the Spindle, which imo should be left alone simply out of the fact that no one will ever, and I mean EVER, go run through that annoying as hell side quest in Lost to Light just to get a 290 sniper that other Legendaries can easily blow out of the water, GHorn already got fubared, our old guns are paperweights for literally no reason but to keyhole us to more mindless, boring GRIND to get replacements, forced grouping mechanics that make soloists and those without a clan run very limited content, and finally, who can NOT love those server instability issues every five minutes, where SOMEONE will likely get booted from the tower or a strike/raid/whatever you're running atm because REASONS. It's like BungLe™ programmers were told to nerf or cockblock the very things that made Destiny fun and engaging through some obstacle feature in the game, simply because they were too lazy to make enough content to satisfy a broad range of player types.

Great response ...i find myself really upset because my old weapons and gear that I worked hard for are useless !!!!!?!?!at least they should let us merge them or use items to move it to year 2 with TTK all time to star over man...
-
I agree. I like my old handgun. I have yet to see a Year two Handgun I like at all, either in appearance or in performance.
