new missions are a lot better. the end game still requires grinding. you can easily level up to vault of glass level but will struggle to find people running that. you are better off running the new raid (which does require some grinding albeit less than vanilla destiny). not all versions include all dlc you need to check with supplier and descriptions. you can find all the content for cheap. the grinding is a lot more fun now. always play with others.

So, having played through all of the content in destiny when it launched, got to level 20 and promptly stopped when the grinding started (I have no interest in playing the same thing over and over) is then enough in the taken King to warrant a return and a run through the new missions?

Also, if you pick up the year two stuff, do you level quickly enought to mean I can easily try the vault of glass?

Finally does TTK include all the year one DLC (I never played these).

Sorry for the noob questions but I couldn't see the answers to these in amongst the detailed chat from the year 1 vets :-)

Assuming you are talking about the Legendary edition, then yes you get everything. I would also answer yes to your other questions.

Like you, I quit the original when it came to the grind, however this time around I am completely hooked. The way you level and accumulate loot now just seems to make a lot more sense and is way more addictive.

By the way, can anyone tell me what motes of light are used for?!

If anyone is bored enough and ever wants to "sherpa" me through from level 14 I'm all ears!

Yeah well happy to run through the levels with my levelled up badboys as it's a) quite cool to redo levels that you previously solo'd on you're own and b)the 3 of Coins modifiier makes every boss feel like mom's new boyfriend at Christmas (you might get an awesome pressie, you probably won't)

For those who have or haven't done the Red Bull quest chain:

Q: Does one Red Bull Quest code allow me to access the Taken King quest repeatedly, or do I need a new code each time I play the quest?
A: One Red Bull Quest code will grant your account access to the Taken King quest when it becomes available. You do not need a new Red Bull Quest code to access this quest each time you want to play it.

Got my 3rd Suros from a Three of Coins earlier. I'd just hit 300, so I now have a 307 Vanity. Also, Touch of Malice get! I keep killing myself with it though.

Armour engrams decrypt at 290 if it's not for your class.

I think 310 is random across the board. Decrypted a 310 hunter helm with my titan and 310 monte carlo. Had 290 armour and weapons decrypt too even when above 300 light.

Is it confirmed that engrams are 'pre-chosen' when dropped and there is no element of randomness when decrypting, because I've gotten sick of getting the same things over and over and over again. If I get a special, I know it'll be a Telesto (four now) or Invective (two). If it's a helm then it'll be ( Skullfort or Inmost Light at two apiece) and chest is nothing but Alpha Lupi (either version but heavily stacked for the Titan at five now).

Karthirian also had two exotics drop from the same guy when we did the antiquated rune a couple of days ago, which is something I'll probably never see again!

Yeah, I'm a bit disappointed in their so called reworking of the drop system. I get the same over and over again. I almost never get a helm either but have lost count of the boots and capes I get every play. Theres obviously a knack to it as others seem to get a better range.

As far as armour engrams go they definitely aren't 'pre-chosen' as you can give your other classes engrams and they will decrypt to their respective class. (Exotic engrams don't work the same, they can be for any class)

Weapons? Who knows, if you follow what armour engrams do, I wouldn't say so.

As far as exotic engrams or just random drops, there's a lot of players saying they are getting repeated drops far too often for it to be a coincidence, i've had some pretty blatant duplication too myself but bungie will rather fix things like Black Spindle. (Still salty about it).

Yeah, I was making my point about exotic engrams. I was just wondering if it was worth hoarding them all in the hope that they'll either sort out the repeating issue or actually add the exoitc items they're holding back from the table, or if I'm doomed to forever roll my eyes when/if I get a yellow chest engram drop due to them being pre-'destin(y)ed'

Yay beat Oryx in the SP, solo'd him on 240 Light and it was a struggle but beat him on the 4th go! Really enjoyed the battle but felt the SP was still far too short for such a large expansion...Assuming the SP is over now?

No the second act are the quests that now become available and there are another 8 or so missions as part of them

An overwhelming amount of stuff still to do, pretty much all of it is stupid amounts of fun.

Why let you spend 25 Legendary Marks to "Ascend" your newly made legendary Strangers Rifle to only take it up to 170 and then NOT let you keep infusing it higher? That's just sodding pointless

Yep, I did this first week and essentially lost 25 marks. Bit annoyed to say the least, but marks arent too hard to get so not too bad really.

It may have to be ascended for the exotic too, who knows.
