Ok people, the old Destiny thread has rather unceremoniously slipped down the pages so I figured I'd start a fresh one for this. The second expac for Destiny drops tomorrow and frankly it's looking rather tasty! With a new style of activity replacing the raid (I'd rather have had it come alongside a raid but hey, can't have everything right?) as well as a new Crucible combat mode and weapons/vehicles.
Personally I'm looking at this quite positively. I mean, aside from adding Crota himself TDB didn''t actually add any new enemy types just beefed up some current ones. However, this time it's actually added to the tables properly. There's also the new weapon type, the side arm pistol. Sure it takes up your special slot but it could certainly lead to an interesting play style for run and gun types in the not quite shotgun range.
There's also tons of little things getting sorted out too. For example, vendor gear will no longer be identical but with a colour switch from the vanguard or crucible stuff. It comes with a unique and interesting look as does the weapons. Combined with the option to upgrade them to the max level it'll open up a lot of diversity as to the appearance of your guardian compared to others.
The one thing missing so far is the return of some power to the auto rifle class of weapons. Currently they've been hit with the de-buff hammer so much they're all but useless even Hardlight and Suros Regime are terrible options for anything other than messing around.
So discuss your opinions on the House of Wolves, will it bring you back to the Destiny fold? Could it be the end for you?
