I'm uh... not pleased to hear that all the shit that I spent fucking hours and hours working on over the last year (well october-june time) is now utterly obsolete. Kind of a slap in the face there, especially when trying to sell a £40 DLC to me is going to be damn near impossible.

Ah well, I'll give it until the next super digital deluxiest edition comes out with all of the current content and more so that I'm not wasting money too much and then consider getting back into it.
Destiny 2 should be out next year. Buy the original then with everything bundled togeather. I know they'll do it. Expect gear to reset with every new expansion. Or at least. Once a year. We'll see how that goes. In MMOs I can forgive it, because there's more gear, and more time in-between resets. But I was disappointed to hear most of my gear is trash now.
Yeah, I mean the dark below gear shit wasn't too cool, having everyone dress like shit and use the same 4 guns makes for a very refreshing game. HoW was better because of the etheric light dealio, but now they've canned that and it's just very... hollow feeling.

All the exotics I'm fond of? gimped for eternity
Some of the legendary shit I took ages to ascend so I'd look cool? trash
But oh boy we've got green shit now :DDDDDDD

*sigh*

I'm glad I got off the density train when I did.

At least they're still useful in Crucible, but it's a shame that everything we've collected in Year 1 is only useful in one gamemode. It was neat that we got some Exotics from Year 1 upgraded for Year 2 (especially Monte Carlo and Hawkmoon so us Xbox players can use them), but still you have other weapons becoming obsolete.

Yeah, they tend to do it like MMOs in a way. New expansion is out, with near gear. So any old gear you have is obsolete. Some year one guns are still good in crucible since they're attack values don't matter, but other than that. There's not much point in using them. You can get a stronger weapon from a green engram drop on the first mission than any gun in year 1. Some exoctics can be upgraded, and more will be added over time, that's about it though. What I'm really curious about is next year. The sequel. I'm ready for it. TTK was a big improvement. And they've been working on it since before the original game came out. They've been working on the sequel just as long I'd assume, if not longer. It's a big chance for Bungie to turn Destiny into a great franchise. They have so much potenonal. I know a lot of people hate on Bungie. But some of them, in interviews really do seem to care. I feel bad for them in a way. Because they know they messed up. And they're disappointed. There's good people there. They have like 500 employees. Plus High Moon Studios. Activision pulled them to help develop whatever. Maybe DLC...

All I know is, I might take a break from Destiny related websites come next year. People are already made about some content be irrelevant, and gear being obsolete. So imagine next year... God. Some people actually think Destiny will be 1 game that is going to be updated for 10 years. I've tried to tell them. But they won't listen.

A good chunk of exotics got a Year 2 edition that you can get in game relatively easy if you have the Year One version.

It's not uncommon with what they did - with new expansions and games on the horizons, they have to give longevity - giving you amazing weapons in Year One and having you use them to fly through the future DLC does not do that.

I think that it wouldn't be too hard for them to have expanded the etheric light system as well as adding in all the new shit <_<

I'm really liking the new content. I never needed an intense plot, but it's nice to have some narration and banter to add to the characters. I was never one to complain about the lack of explanation for things; it's a fantasy game set in space, magic is magic and the different 'races' don't need explaining. The leveling system is much better, and within a couple days I had met the level cap and acquired good gear. Definitely a good time to replay.

they replaced it all with a better system called infusing. Let's say you get a 240 light chest piece that looks super cool, you can infuse it with other higher light armors and get it all the way to 310 (the max)
Also most exotics armor and many guns have a year 2 version that you can buy in the tower if you had the year one, and bungie said they're adding more if anything this is the time to get ON the destiny train. Buying the season pass before was just dumb

The destiny subreddit is pretty good actually

Also I agree with basically everything you just said

Have you done the new raid? It's stellar and I'm still getting new quests and missions that I didn't even know about where as vinalla I beat the "story" in like 2 days...

My only complaint is that there's no reason to run the old raids. I never got to do crota and now it's hard to find anyone willing to do it

You and I can run Crota. You can solo it if you wanted. People soloed it shortly after it came out. I did King's Fall. But we couldn't beat Oryx. Didn't try anymore after that. Been busy with work and FFXIV.
