24 Reasons House of Wolves is better than The Taken King.

HoW gave us: 1. Etheric Light 2. Increased Legendary drops in crucible and strikes. 3. No ghosts, artifacts, or class items with light. 4. Nightfall still gave 500 rep, blue flame skull, and weekly xp bonus. 5. Nightfall actually dropped decent loot instead of ghosts, emotes, and sparrow horns. 6. Faction rep was not split with Vanguard rep. 7. Bounties gave 5000 rep instead of 3000. 8. Weapon Reforging. 9. Exotics dropped frequently enough that 3oC were unnecessary. 10. Xur sold exotic shards. 11. Prison of Elders, Vault of Glass, AND Crota's End all gave gear that could be ascended to 365. 12. Trials of Osiris had random Matchmaking. 13. Weapons and Armor were maxed out by using Etheric Light that we EARNED, and not dependent on getting lucky 320 drops. 14. Raid weapons were actually worth using and not just infusion food. 15. Elemental primaries. 16. No timegated weapons, armor, shaders, emblems, quests, or subclasses. (Seriously, who at Bungie thought this was a good idea?) 17. No skill-based Matchmaking. 18. Black Hammer was actually useful. (It deserved to be an exotic with the ORIGINAL White Nail Perk.) 19. PvP was completely balanced with the exception of EXOTIC handcannons only. (Don't know why you had to go and ruin all of them when only 3 of them were a problem.) 20. Fusion rifles weren't jokes. 21. Shotguns weren't jokes. (And amazing in pve.) 22. Our perks weren't ruined and replaced with garbage ones. (Perfect Balance, Flared Magwell, FIELD SCOUT, Hammer Forged, Rangefinder, Shot Package.) Seriously, EXHUMED, RESCUE MAG, GRAVEROBBER, PARTIAL REFUND, CASKET MAG, OILED FRAME, REINFORCED BARREL, SPEED RELOAD, HAND LOADED, INJECTION MOLD, EYE OF THE STORM, AND GUERILLA FIGHTER ARE ALL GARBAGE! (At least back then we could reforge a weapon if it got any of these abysmal perks.) 23. We had 9 strikes in rotation. (Nexus, Devil's Lair, Archon Priest, Summoning Pits, Valus, Omnigul, Taniks, Undying Mind, Psion Flayers.) Now we still have 9, but it's Dark Blade, Cabal Brothers, Omnigul, SABER, Flayers, Valus, Echo Chamber, Taniks, and Undying Mind. Bungie added 4 strikes and took away 4 strikes. What was the point of that? 24. No microtransactions. Now, just for the sake of being fair, I'll list the things HoW got wrong, and the things TTK got right. Fails of HoW: 1. Final round sniping still existed. 2. Trials of Thorn. 3. Everyone reforging for god roll weapons. (Shortgaze, Hidden Hand, Snapshot, Unflinching Benevolences. Aggressive Ballistics, Shot Package, Hammer Forged, Luck in the Chamber Felwinter's. Warhead Verniers, Tripod/Clown Cartridge, Javelin, Grenades and Horseshoes Ash Factories.) Seriously there should have been a limit on how many times you could reroll a single weapon. Or just increase the price with each reroll. Things TTK got right: 1. Strikers and Defenders got buffed. 2. Weapon parts are purchasable. 3. King's Fall requires the most teamwork in a raid since VoG. (Even though the loot system is garbage.) 4. The story is better. Better cutscenes. Better dialogue. More characters. 5. More subclasses and exotics (even though they were all timegated.) 6. Different color ghost shells. (Even though they made the terrible mistake of adding light to them.) 7. Challenge modes (that aren't challenging at all) provide guaranteed loot. Something only seen previously in Trials and PoE. 8. Kiosks for everything. 9. Sparrow Racing. (Even though it was a test phase, it was still fun.) 10. Firing the CEO. (It had to be done.) 11. Ability to reforge exotic armor. 12. Hadronic Essence, Plasteel Plating, and Sapphire Wire were all consolidated. 13. Swords. 14. Ability to skip cutscenes. 15. New crucible game modes. That's all I can think of for now. What do you all think? Personally, I'd take HoW over TTK any day. This is just my own list of the pros and cons. If you think of anything I missed, go ahead and post it in the comments. I just want Bungie to see how great Destiny once was. However, I also want them to know that they did get some things right. Hopefully they will consider this information when making changes in the future. -Dom
