OK so i checked out the store page for the new destiny DLC and it says it requires taken king, what the... where is any deal the includes previous game dlc? I skipped out on TK but have all of year one so (if there is not going to be a bundle deal like in TK) why is there none (i would not mind paying 50ish$ for both) it just seems that they are going to be dwindling their fan base more by forcing the players who did not want TK to buy it just for this Dlc (dlc for dlc thats what this is lol).,
With that said while there is still time to cement more payment options for not just the non TK players who may want back in but all players who left between any dlcs. Bungie should hears us and makes sure if they are doing this requires previous expansion thing they need to have more deals for every player who wants to buy the expansion now or later.
side note for anyone who DID NOT buy the taken king are you interested in getting the next dlc

1 ReplyI've had to explain this before, but I'll do my best doing it here again. Basically, Bungie stuffed themselves up right from the start. They released TDB and it included a light level increase from 30 to 32, not too bad, but you'll understand why this is bad soon. This meant there was a progression from the core game to TDB content. However, at the same time, they allowed players to essentially skip core end game content (Vault of Glass) to level straight past 30 and into 31+. Next came HoW and again, they added a light increase from 32 to 34. Now it's bad, why? Because now we're not talking about DLC, we're talking about expansions. And notice, Bungie have always used the term 'Expansion'[spoiler] (https://media.playstation.com/is/image/SCEA/destiny-expansion-pass-01-ps4-us-07jul14?$TwoColumn_Image$)[/spoiler] Now you have a progression from the core game to TDB and on to HoW, that progression being in the form of the light increase. But again, they pushed TDB end game back allowing yet again, players to skip most of it and move into HoW. Now this is where TDBs progression is bad, because instead of having all expansions running parallel to each other, they're sequential, meaning that you can not progress straight from the core game in HoW without first accessing TDB. They then went on to make things worse with TTK, they push back the entirety of year one further back, lift the light level again, and allow players to start TTK without even playing a Y1 strike. Again there's a progression from core to TTK, but now TDB and HoW blended into the core game as 'Y1'. Rise of Iron will do the same thing, it'll increase the progression from TTK rather than run parallel to it but at the same time it'll push TTK further down. It's because of this progression and expansion that Rise of Iron [b]must[/b] also require both Y1 expansions and TTK, because without them the progression is broken, you'd literally not be able to progress from the core game to Rise of Iron without going through the earlier expansions in one way or another. I hope this explains it somewhat.
