Ugh do I have to do the story 3 times to unlock the dumb peak on all my characters? Brutal. Assy.

You had to do the dreadnaught 3x too though!

Haven't even loaded up the game yet so I have no idea if getting a ton of keys is worth anything, but there you have it.

It took them a month to fix the cave and about 4 days to fix 3oCs you'll be fine.

Nah, your problem was just trying to use the gun too far away. You were actually hypothetically mostly on target though. :v:

The Dead Orbit vendor has a pretty solid PVE scout rifle again. I don't know that it necessarily beats Hung Jury overall, but it's definitely not bad.

The DLC could be the size of GTAV and people would still complain.

That's just what you do.. you play Destiny and then go complain about it.

Hey, man, I distinctly remember this being an episode of Spongebob. :colbert:

That splicer key farm doesn't work very well right now because everyone is doing it. Loaded in 10 times and every time there's either no enemies there or I get there just as someone else gets the kill and makes off with the key.

The drop off at 350 is severe. Gonna run strikes and poo poo with my 350 zhalo and see what happens

This seems to be the way to go, at least past 350. Blue engrams decrypt at 340 max, but you get 2 already decrypted blues at the end of heroic strikes that will come in a couple points higher than your current light. The other best way for getting stuff past 350 is rank up packages.

Once a week you can get a free premium box from the heroic strike playlist. It's not like the ????? one because it says it right there under rewards.

I'm pretty sure you can just set your PS4 system date a few days in the past and always spawn into your own instance of the patrol... unless they fixed that.

I havent had a problem needing keys. Typically have 2 to 3 just from toolin around and if I need one i will typically find one quick. With that being said i fuckin soloed that siva tank in site 6 to start the gjally quest and fell down the pit before scanning the anomaly. Had to go to orbit.

Today is pretty bittersweet. Awesome that RoI has dropped but also crazy bummed about brangelina.

Well that's odd, get home, fire up game, no new unlocks and vendors have old 280 gear. Get confused, waste time confirming I pre-ordered, and after about five minutes of sitting in orbit get the big RoI banner and everything unlocks.

:iiam:

Guess if you don't buy RoI you ain't getting anything new at all.

It is inevitable!
So I only played destinys base game. I kinda feel like getting into it again.

I'm also feeling a little poor this month and I note that the taken king plus the first 2 DLCs are only £15 all in.

So my question then is - Does this new expansion add a lot of stuff that would impact my run through expack 1 and 2 and Taken King, or can I happily just grab ROI at the end of them?

The fact that two of the three strikes are literally just strikes from Year 1 with hilariously minimal changes really grinds my gears.

That plus recycled armor models in all the vendors. At least we get new weapon models, I guess.

Wait till you're not poor and buy the Collection or both TTK and RoI (I'm not sure how it works to buy it piecemeal). Taken King is a single-player game at this point. It'd be like buying Halo 4 to save a few bucks off of Halo 5.
