The Taken King was the best the game has ever been: a cool campaign, a brilliant raid which continued the story with a fantastic raid exotic and the scale of Oryx was...wow!
Plus the dreadnought itself was such a fantastic location to explore with loss of hidden secrets.
That was the most I ever enjoyed the game.

Taken king was probably the game at its best, but that era was sunk by a few other factors. As others have mentioned, the lack of content following the expansion was a big problem, SRL certainly did little to fill the gap. But beyond that, Bungie had announced that Rise of Iron would not be on the PS3/XBox 360. As a 360 gamer at that time, I would have needed a PS4 or Xbox One to keep playing, but Bungie also announced that Destiny 2 would be on PC. As the owner of a decent gaming PC, there seemed little reason to upgrade consoles just for D1Y3, so i quit playing altogether until Destiny 2 launched.

I’m just talking about TTK - not the whole of D2 Y2 or the inevitable move to the current gen.
-
Agreed 👍
-
But it sunset our weapons, so it must be irredeemable
-
My favorite as well.
-
It was definitely the most nostalgic for me, but there was a horrible content drought that year. Topped only by vanilla D2.
-
I suppose you think we haven't been in a content drought for 2 years now? A tiny, tiny bit of content bolstered by bounties requiring running old content endlessly is stipl a terrible content drought. Shadowkeep was as bad as CoO.
-
Taken in Isolation, the The Taken King story and how it led into the raid was arguably the best thing they ever did. But Time-gating quests, a shitty infusion system and no additional content for like 6 months made it the worst year ever in Destiny - until this last one that is.

Editado por juppstrunz911: 8/16/2020 6:54:06 PMSimply unreaptable that times the game was still amazing. Taken King was the best expansion ever on Destiny. Not like that Forsaken Crap. Opinions may vary of course.
-
The problem with Forsaken was the entire first 70% of the campaign or so was complete and utter tripe. Then there was a decent moment with the queen's brother, followed by the Dreaming City. Dreaming City was great. The ascendant challenges and missions and overall explorable areas were really, really good. Unfortunately, the tangled shore garbage kept Forsaken from being as good as TTK.
-
A good example how different the taste is. I really like tangled shore and was not so much a fan of DC. Especially the Aszendent stuff I did not like. Opinions may vary😉
-
Taken king raid has the same "if one person messes up, that's almost always a wipe" pitfall that d2 raids get trashed for
-
I'd counter with Forsaken. As good as TTK was, by April it was drier than the Sahara, hence the April Update. Even that barely did anything to paper over the cracks. Whereas Forsaken had a story that was just as engaging, the Dreaming City is possibly the best location they've ever made, Last Wish is a fantastic Raid, and thanks to the Annual Pass it was nowhere near as dry as TTK ended up being. Yes there were teething problems with the AP (forges being too high a level for entry, Niobe Labs being a -blam!--up of impressive proportions, SoD being very meh) but overall it worked out to a much more entertaining year.
-
<At this rate I'd almost prefer the drought in order to bide proper time for big releases... D2 already has so much to do.>
-
Forsaken and taken king were probably the games greatest moments. I’m excited to see beyond light. There is a lot of potential there
-
It was very good and Kings Fall was the best raid. I also really liked the House of Wolves DLC and Y1 Moments of Triumph just before it... And bringing all the Raids back with new challenges and ornaments for Age of Triumph in Y3 was very good. Nothing in D2 has been anywhere near as enjoyable or rewarding as HoW, TTK and AoT
-
VoG is my favorite (best loot, nostalgia) but the best was King’s Fall (epic scale, mechanics were doable even if you had some bad players, shooting was still important, and the story was important). If the loot was worth a damn besides the LMG, it would have been my favorite.

Editado por RockNotABoulder: 8/16/2020 3:12:32 PMThe raid exotic was essentially only useful in the final encounter of said raid. Using it anywhere else reliably required an entire loadout that was speced out for it. Yes it looked cool, and the lore was dope. But mythoclast and necrochasm are better because you can actually just use them whenever and have a good time.
