1 ReplyYes. For 40 bucks (retail price) or 2/3's the cost of an entire game, we received maybe 1/3 of a game. TTK will be better, but it won't be game changing like people are hoping. You are still destined to be running the same vanilla strikes for yet another year (but a little less frequently).

I liked the dark below because running crota each week was really fun. HoW quickly died out for me since the rewards sucked once I got a solar HC from skolas I stopped running it. Taken king is coming with a raid and subclasses, maybe I just like the game to much but that alone is plenty to be excited about.

7 Repliesyes/no.. depends on the aspect.. TDB: nice new environment with the raid, pretty downer when it comes to length and difficulty.. and easy exploitable. (still) overall story: nonexistent, no cutscenes, no interaction with the game world, no social features as groupfinder or else.. basically a new go there shoot this.. mindless.. sadly.. weapons are just reskins of old ones no new models no new ideas.. tha base "feeling setting" totally missed.. none of the "events" on earth felt anything like an "invasion".. the "swords of crota were just "five stupid guys from abroad bringing an knife to a gunfight" who get killed in a drive by shooting of locals. (see mass effect end scene for proper "invasion feeling" they should have altered the entire cosmodrome with a hive theme.. HoW: a LITTLE bit more narrative, but still far away from a story, no cutscenes, no interaction with the game world, No raid, so basically no new places or locations hat havent been on disc for a looong time.. Endgame dissappointngly boring and VERY unrewarding.. weapons a [b]desaster[/b] (apart from the ToO adept weapons) "Raid" (semi-hordemode PoE) is tedious, and has WAY to little variation (i was expecting about 50 different bosses, not a handfull) non dynamic level design its always the same race themes area and as soon as you figured out the spawn points its basically a slaughter in a prison , on prisoners,, highly questionable.. without any explanation.. "Story" mode: no explanation what why where when , just go there kill all. again. 0/10 for narration.. the new way bungie ried to sell us, FAILED! new upgrade path for weapons wasnt the brightest idea, now eveyone uses the vanilla weapons since they are superior to any dlc weapon..(until BH but this getting nerfed to meaninglessness) see whats left over from the two DLC.. TDB: -Raid playable but not a BIG deal just another long Strike. but enjoyable and a doable challenge to solo players.. - Black Hammer - Hunger of Crota for non Gally owners - word of Crota for Void damage PoE: - PoE34 for Etheric light until it starts to stockpile AGAIN.. (didnt you learn from the vanguard recommendations? its 1:1 the same -.-) - ToO is the best addition to HoW (and thats from a non PvP guy!) but way too often , already wears out.. and its lacking matchmaking like hell.. okay so its basically ToO and nothing else since ALL the PoE QW weapons are useless and the Prison is not worth the time spend.. so all in all i would say this would be max 20$ in total.. and could have been in game from the beginning.. so maybe 50% value worth..

7 RepliesY'all are never happy. This DLC was just fine. New social space, ToO, PoE, new bounties, and we can now ascend our old weapons. Fxck outta here with "it's a disappointment" bullshit.

3 RepliesWhy don't you all stop your bitching and leave and find another game if you are soooo disappointed. Oh I'm soooooo disappointed. Fuk off. We don't need you in the community if you hate this game so much

5 RepliesI think I'm the only one who liked TDB more than HoW. I think I'm just nostalgic? Had a lot of good raids with my clan back in TDB. Did crota and VOG a lot.
-
I would imagine the people who said no probably bought the game a few months ago
-
Poe was a disappointment to me. I don't play it unless I'm helping a friend. Did skolas once got the rewards and haven't done since because there is point to doing it again. I have so much etheric light and I have no need for armour and weapons cores.
-
1 ReplyThe dark below wasn't a disappointment to me just because it has a raid HoW- let's just act like that didn't happen
-
Yes, considering all the hype beforehand they were a letdown, especially HoW, if you bought that as a standalone without getting the season pass I genuinely feel sorry for you. The actual content was a joke in both but at least TDB had a raid, and like yourself I am not very hopeful for TTK
-
TDB was OK but I think it was pretty short, HoW was way better in my opinion
-
TDB was awful. HoW was okay
-
TDB. Absolutely. HoW. Ehhh. Mostly cause of the ToO clutch which is ironic to say the least.

2 RepliesThis is like saying what terd is more shiny lmfao

Clearly they were. Tons of recycled content, glitchy raids, zero cut scenes, repetitive/boring PoE.....need I go on?

1 ReplyToo much money for 10 missions and some repetitive quests. Well 20 if you combine them, so I would have 20 for both expansions together but not 20 for each. I want to pre-order TTK but I don't want to buy it right away.

1 ReplyTDB was an undeniable disappointment. It was $20 for a raid, a couple of missions (that took 45 minutes, collectively), and a vendor. HoW however, in my eyes, a general success. It brung a lore to the game I wasn't aware of. The war stories of the reef wars are quite interesting. Etheric light were the exact thing we, as a community, asked for. We can wear our ugly VoG gear and still be level 34! ToO was/is the best thing to happen to Destiny since the VoG. And will only get better with the weapon balancing update. The reef social space is good, although we know atleast part of it was in the original game. Reforging is great, another thing we as a community asked for. More vault space was introduced. The only negative thing anyone can say about HoW is that PoE was a major disappointment. The weapons, the activities, enemies, bosses, (and in my opinion the elder's cipher bounties) are all bad. PoE was bad, but bearable. But since the rest of the DLC was good, the DLC was good. So it's obvious to see that TDB was bad. But the HoW was overall good and well. And if HoW had a raid, there couldn't be a way to say it was bad.

Edited by uptownsmoothest: 7/23/2015 2:16:26 AMToO and PoE, two good game mode activities and the ability to re roll our weapons and ascend our old legendary's to max, making them not obsolete. TDB gave us a Raid and that's it. But at the end they were both worth it. A thing that's disappointing about HoW imo are the PoE weapons, and the armor isn't all that either.

1 ReplyEdited by M3NAC3 360: 7/22/2015 2:00:52 PMI really like HOW. Some of the weapons are bit crappy, like those you buy from Variks or the Queens gear, but I like some of the exotic Armour, weapons, and POE is a blast. I do not have TDB, it is way over priced, IMO.

Dark below yes house of wolves not really
-
The Vault of Glass set the bar right where we expected it to be for a bungie game. Crota was a decent try, and kept me playing until Wolves. Imo, Trials falls severely short, and the pvp focus woild have been cool if pvp wasnt still glitchy and ruled by handcannons. That -blam!-ing AR nerf hit this game so hard pvp lost all its fun side. I already play cod. I didnt want that .2 second ttk style of play from Destiny. I wanted gun battles. Anyway, polls still at 50\50. I dont think the Taken King will be enough to bring me back full time. Especially for 40$ And the fact that all these missions, arena, the raid, and trials were all [b][u]ON DISC[/u][/b]. That shit really bummed me out on this game. See BDobbinsFTW for more details.

It's now at a 50-50 split
-
I liked the dark below, vog was a better raid but ctots's end was a fun time and the Crota fight on hard mode was a big challenge that while being hard was doable given good team work. Plus reaching 32 was a challenge and took some time, while HoW was fun for a week put nothing even matching the amount of fun of Crota's End. Trails can be fun though now a days it's more camping than the fun gun fights of the first time, Scholas is simply annoying to play with way to many ways to cheaply die no so more than having Scholas camp a mine

Wow a lot of mixed opinions. I like it thanks for your input guys.
