May 19th: And why I'm ok with that

I'm completely fine with The House of Wolves DLC coming out later than expected for several reasons. 1. This will give Bungie more time to get it right. The Dark Below was a fun, but partially flawed DLC. Some of the story was light, and the exotic progression and new vendor armor stand out as items which needed more time and consideration. An extra two months may even provide time for an in-level cutscene or two. I know I'd like to learn more about the Queen and The Cro...I mean her brother. ; ) 2. This will give me more time to get my characters to Lvl 32 and max out my weapons. I play as all three classes, which isn't the most efficient way to get three Lvl 32's, but I find it fun. My Warlock was only 29 last time around, and I had a real hard time getting him into high level content once the level cap jumped. Two more months means I can hopefully get my last character (my titan this time) to Lvl 32. I know I'll have a lot more fun at with the DLC that way. 3. Gjallarhorn. This one is super selfish, but two more months will give me more time to hunt that most coveted of launchers. After my 3rd Dragon's Breath, I can tell you more exotics from DLC make it that much harder to get a Gally drop. (Again totally selfish). Are you guys ok with a delay? (Especially considering March was always a speculation). Or will you probably take a break from Destiny? I'm curious to know! Edit: 4. I assume more time will allow them to work out more of the VoG and CE glitches that are still out there. When CE came out VoG seemed to go off the raid-ar. I wouldn't want the fallen raid to take away from fixing the existing raids. Also thanks for all the comments! Looks like a lot of people aren't very optimistic. I'd say try to enjoy yourselves more it's a video game! Edit: Wow we are trending! I hope Deej sees this (just because that would be cool!) A lot of people are wondering if I'm expecting more content with more development time. I don't I think I really am, but I don't see that as a problem. I am just hopeful that what comes out is crisper, and ready for mass consumption. For example, it sounds like Xur's exotic upgrades are going to be changing, and I'd really like to see them hit it out of the park there! I'd also like him to sell Ghjallarhorn (again selfishly) Edit: I'm getting a lot of questions about my source. This is far from an official announcement, but it is being reported as a potential leak. Here is IGN's article: Destiny: House of Wolves Release Date, Details Possibly Leaks http://m.ign.com/articles/2015/02/04/destiny-house-of-wolves-release-date-and-details-possibly-leak Edit: Just throwing this out there. I'm not saying House of Wolves will get more content than was already planned, I'm just saying I think it will come out better than it would have been otherwise. Less glitches for example. Also thanks for all the comments! They are fun to read. Edit: Looks like this thread is slowing down. Thanks for the 580+ comments! It's been real fun! Hope everyone enjoys House of Wolves whenever it releases!

    so 3.5 more months of running crota, the same old strikes and bounties, and the handful of pvp maps that seem to be in the rotation? 5 months in to the 10 year plan and "i'm starting to sense a pattern"

    • Your hopes are to high man. Most likely they are just trying to close the gap between it and comet.

      This takes way to long! Come on, from December until may, with only darkbelow as dlc, this is pathetic. I already see alot of people taking a break of Destiny, now the say they will come back. But if house of wolves dissapoints just like, dark below, it will lose even more players.

      • I've collected all exotic guns and I'm only missing the Praxic Fire to have all exotic armor. I have all VoG loot and CrE loot including the mythoclast and Necrochasm. Only reason I'm still grinding is for faction shaders n ships and for legendaries with cool perk combos. I was looking forward to march but now the wait is discouraging.

      • I own all guns in the game, but Red Death and have been 32's. Not much else to play for until MAY. Crota raid was a huge disappointment compared to how vast the VoG is with all its glitches. Not sure I'll be back in May :-/

      • Im perfectly ok with the next DLC being postponed a couple of months. It will give me an oppertunity to play other games without falling behind on this 1 and hopefully with all the extra time they can make a raid that isnt a cheese fest.

      • I dont want to wait this long, at least without some new stuff in the mean time, quickly getting bored and getting to that point where all my exotic drops are dupes. Just give us something before then a handful of exotics to lust after or even an improved RNG would be nice. I feel too many people will forget about destiny if they wait this long.

      • I'm taking it as a rumor right now, but my characters need even more extra time than yours to level them up to 32. I don't mind waiting for the reasons you listed and also so I can save money. I just hope I get to play it before June because I plan to play Arkham Knight and I rather commit to one game at a time, which is one reason why I have about 6 new games that I have barely played.

      • Totally cool with that. I just finally reached 32 today and I would've hated to just get into all new stuff and not even experienced 32 yet lol. Plus, it'll leave a lot more time for glitch fixes and hopefully a slew of new stories

      • I am perfectly fine with the dlc coming out later than we all intended, actually i welcome it. Mainly cause i feel i need a break from destiny to refresh my interest as i have played almost every day since relese. The few months from now till may will give me time to play some other good games that have been put aside for now as well as the release of Bloodborne in march which i imagine i will be totally enthralled in for quite some time. I think there is a lot of destiny players that could do with a well earned break. Providing that you have at least one Gjallahorn that is, otherwise the grind is real people!

      • I'm good with it too. I just have to find something to play as my characters are all 32 and I have all exotic weapons (except necro) which I'll get eventually. My legendarys that I like are already maxed also.

      • The biggest reason I'm happy it's May is because this will let me go through the backed up amount of games I have not yet beaten... Shadow of Mordor Dragon Age Sunset Overdrive And Dying Light which I plan on picking up soon.

          • Well I think it is good to have more time in between DLCs. Sure Destiny is repetitive and some people will get bored of it and that is totally fine. Nobody, not even Bungie or Activision can expect you to play the same game all the time. (That being said, Destiny COULD be a bit more interesting at times, yes) For me, I bought Destiny for myself after christmas. So I technically belong in the same time frame as the christmas noobs, but it didnt actually have anything to do with christmas. I played the Demo and got interested and bought the game used (best decision). That means I still have no character on 32, but one on 31 and two on 29 and still in the process of getting them up. I also have a job and a wife and a kid so you know, I cant be as fast as some of you guys. (Luckily my wife plays too so she can help out a lot!) I will use the extra time to level up my chars at my own pace and then I will take a break from Destiny, play some other games, and when the DLC comes out or I feel like it I go back and pick up where I left off. I mean I like Destiny but I am a gamer first and foremost so if there would not be time to play other games because of the framework then that would be really horrible. And I think game will profit from people taking breaks from it. Coming back to it will be quite refreshing I can imagine.

            • If he sells Galla I am buying 2 more. I bought one IB for each character (3) and its a godsend - no being without special ammo in a fix, no more tower issues. Can jump into any level game without needing to go to the tower or swap stuff around. If I had a bigger vault it sure would be appreciated. I am starting to shard my exotics now....never foresaw that! I agree - space it out. another few iron banners etc. Maybe another Queens Wrath type event. Its a unfortunate grind to redo the exotics,...that's no fun at all.

            • I'm fine with it because it means more time I can spend playing other games waiting for the DLC to come out. I'm not going to play CE because I don't want to spend hours of my life getting a team and going through it when all the work will be made useless months later when the equipment doesn't matter

            • i'll have to take a break, my titan warlock and hunter are all 32, if you look at my hunter he is 31 now because I got some extra armor with attributes I like better but that armor will be maxed out tomorrow then im bored. we will run the weeks final Crota and Vog hard raids tomorrow then maybe if Xur is selling anything of interest I can level something slowly till the Tuesday reset but no more Dailys and nightfalls and weeklys are pointless. I have over 300 strange coins in store so im pretty much done and would like to see HoW tomorrow. May is way too far off, if I go I may not come back
