Official Feedback on The Taken King - The Story
The one about the story.
Better story has been a big request from the community since Destiny first launched last year. Many of you have gotten through the initial story missions. There are still some untold elements in the end game, but what are your thoughts on the story so far. What do you like, what do you dislike? What do you think about the characters, are they more interesting than in the past? Did you enjoy the new cut scenes? Let us know what you think.

I loved the story and characters cut scenes were great my only complaint is it was way to short other than that great job

Edited by XBAMNX: 9/16/2015 6:05:32 AMListen, Cozmo, i think weve beta tested and given you enough feedback about how to make and sell your game. Its time you people started explaining yourselves, FOR REAL. The backlash you all are about to feel over content lockout will be a better story than anything in TTK. Ill tell you what though, ill make you a deal. If you answer 5 simple questions to my satisfaction, about your involvement with the game, reddit and now Bnet forums, etc, then ill eat my fookin hat, and buy TTK. And ill respond to all your silly community feedback questionaires. You know how to find me.

1 ReplyBump Can't believe people are being locked out of vanilla/how/tdb content so my $60+$35= $95 on Xbox 360t Then adding another 95+40=135 for Xbox one means nothing unless I purchase TTK ??? So for $135 I'm locked out of being able to play 50% of content I've already paid for unless I spend another $40 for a grand total of $175?? How does this make any sense at all? I will not be purchasing anytime soon thanks

I can tell you that I've been throwing money at my screen for two days now to get those emotes and nothing.

Edited by Kone19ps: 9/16/2015 4:55:00 PMOpening cinematic was great, but after a near no show in HOW it was disappointing seeing the awoken and both the prince and queen disappearing right away before even starting. The rest was great though. A couple trolly phalanxes climbing the colony ship I can half appreciate as a dark souls fan. There were a few frustrating points such as putting all my rockets into the cabal boss for him to be taken and come back later with the ogre. Maybe make him immune instead of damage showing up. Loved the things to scan. Made the story for me though sometimes it got frustrating to find. Maybe pulling out the ghost could highlight them. A good example I remember is right before oryx there are the crota and nocris statues but they don't start to be scannable till way above their pedestals so it took a bit to find. I haven't gone past oryx into the side quest yet but I was a little disappointed the story was the same length as HOW was albeit with more cutscenes and more fleshed out story. I am curious how Eris got tolands journal when we collected it and gave it to Ikora already for bad juju. Cayde is awesome and Nolanbot is a lot better in ttk than his redubbed vanilla lines. Though how much cayde repeats lines like shoot it felt odd. It flowed better though so it wasn't as jarring like HOW when every other sentence was "skolas is insane" So overall first impression is a great improvement but still feels a little skimpy for $40. I'm hoping the side quests have significant lore injection and story and aren't just to do lists with an arbitrary lore label like patrol missions

I haven't finished playing through the story but so far TTK has a better, more entertaining and interesting story than all of year 1. It's a huge step in the right direction. What we need now though would be some way of finishing up and tying in stories from vanilla Destiny. I'd love to finish up the story around the stranger and all the other loose ends left from before. You may already have a plan there, but if not it needs to be addressed.

Edited by TitanGear: 9/16/2015 4:39:39 PMMy problem with the story is you still haven't brought a Face to the City. The humans that haven't died and had light pumped into their corpses. You had so much potential to make the Taken King a lot more sinister if you had him converting humans to Taken. It would have upped the Stakes made things in the quest line more desperate. If you would have had one of the Will of Oryx pop up in the tower and start converting the robots and NPC humans that walk around it would have brought it more close to home and epic. I felt nothing as Fallen were consumed by Taken... Only reason I felt anything for the Cabal was because I love the Cabal. They don't feel like agents of Darkness. More like an alien empire that blows up whatever they want when they want. We need to see the City and human beings so we know what we are really fighting to protect.

All I'm gonna say is, I would pay good money for a destiny animated (hardcore) movie
-
The story is a giant step in the right direction. "It's hard to become Legend in a place that doesn't mean anything." You have a cast of characters that are all interesting, but we never interacted with them before TTK. I'm glad we're seeing more of them, and I'm glad they're recognizing all my heroic accomplishments. Now... can we get more Cayde? Please?

Edited by Mpqd: 9/16/2015 3:56:44 PMI loved the new story style (yes I know it's a return to older times )and I'd like to see it continue ,I'd also like to see the scanning of items in the environment for additional story expanded even further(possibly even retroactively)
-
I think it's fantastic. Every mission got better and better and was more enjoyable than the last. I feel like some of them would be more enjoyable with more people and on harder difficulties, but that is only a minor complaint.
-
In one hand I liked how the story was presented, it's a step in the right way, but I still thought it was too short. On the other hand, I look at it from the perspective that I have to do it with 3 characters and cringe at the thought of having to do it 3 times if it were longer. Stuck at the crossroads with this one. I really think destiny would benefit if your 3 characters would share the Level cap(40), it's meaningless anyway, it's all about your Light. You could just finish the story with 1 character and start your Light grind with any of the 3. That way I could say I want a longer story with no hesitation.
-
I like the story. I think the character interaction is great. I have only done a hand full of missions so far and it's been a lot of fun. I don't like how fast I am leveling. Before getting to 32 and then 34 took some time. Now it seems to go really fast
-
Here's my full take on it https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/153973584/0/0

I thought the first level was really short but I also thought it was A LOT more fun than any of the past stories (although I did like the sword of crota). I also found a dead ghost so that was cool. I really liked how they introduce you to your new subclass by doing a quest where you get to use supers for days! Really great I thought. Thanks Cozmo you guys did a great job!

-
Much better just a little short I get that it's a dlc but still felt short quest more then keep me busy though I got my sword
-
Way toi easy. Only two options. Too easy. Or so hard u can't choose it
-
I felt engaged in what I was trying to accomplish. As opposed to before where I could just run around shooting mindlessly to complete the objective, the Taken King incorporated mission mechanics that best represented what I was trying to get done. [spoiler]The mission where you steal part of the crystal if Crota's soul... Yeah, we grabbed the crystal and I thought, "Damn that's it?" Then all of sudden the whole tone of the mission changes from to escaping, and having to search for items to unlock doors so you can continue fleeing, that was a mad rush. Well done![/spoiler] [spoiler]Stealing the essence from the Crota raid, that was so vastly different from the run and gun experience it was well done. Might I add it was a nice touch this mission occurred during a death ceremony, made me feel like I was rubbing it in that we had killed Crota.[/spoiler] [spoiler]The battle with Oryx was also good. Not being able to use our supers because Oryx was draining our light, nice little modifier. I also though the final moments of the mission where he's jumping at you from the shadows with his sword was rather cool.[/spoiler]
-
I rally like the story so far. The hunt for your third subclass was an awesome tie in and all the videos were great. Wish the beginning of the game could get fixed. We still don't know about the Great War and where the darkness is from
-
Good story, very mass-effecty, but that storyline works well here and provides a unique mix of enemies.
-
Good story
-
I loved the story this time, great commentary between characters. Abundance of cutscenes were nice, the thing that I really enjoyed was the metroid prime opt in scan lore tidbits. I didn't notice any of tose tidbits added retroactively, which was a little disappointed
-
Absolutely nailed it taken king was last chance if the story was bad etc I was going to quit it for good but it was nice to see the vanguard actually have some input rather than just stand around a table me and my girlfriend were in genuine laughing fits mainly cayde 6 attitude but all in all more like it please! The only thing I would like to have seen is some more of the stranger but good job
-
Edited by Bandit Keith872: 9/16/2015 1:51:26 PMI think you guys nailed the story. The way the cut scenes meshed with the story missions dialogue. The flavor text for quests. Reintroducing us to characters that have been all but irrelevant for far too long. Loved it. This is how the story should have been told from the beginning. This style gives destiny the epicness it deserves. Now if you would please put the damn grimiore in the game.. <_<;
-
The campaign this time around was amazing. The cutscenes were a huge addition to the storyline. Character development happened and all of a sudden NPC merchants became actors in an ongoing story. The interaction between Cayde and Erik's Mom(Eris Morn) were great. The scanning items to add lore and story was fantastic. I went from zzz'ing on lore to being interested to learn more about Rasputin. The Oryix boss fight was good. Definitely felt like a boss fight and not a kill the side stuff and the main dude will fall over. I am excited for more story. Hell, I'd even read a book if one came out.
