[Quote]Level cap raised to 40
Cryptarch rewards from engrams are now more in line with the type of Engram you got
The second half of the Taken King apparently starts once you reach the Endgame (Questlines throughout the Destiny Universe!)
Your Ghost can now scan objects to offer more insight into the world's lore (IE, scan a Cabal soldier, gives you info on their Military Regiment)
You can now turn in Bounties without returning to the Bounty Board!
Intelligence, Discipline, and Strength now have numerical "tiers" that decide their influence on your character
A new progress system where you sacrifice an existing piece of gear that belongs to the same slot (? Kind of confused about this and this is literally how it's read)
The Tower and its NPCs have been retooled to offer quests/story/insight into the world as you level up your character from 1-40 (!!!! Cryptarch, Gunsmith, etc questlines!!!!)
Entire base game/expansions retooled for narrative and access purposes to make much more sense (Example: after meeting the Queen for the first time, the Reef is open to you)
Subclasses, old and new, have their own questlines (?)
GUNSMITH NOW HAS A REP AND THE HIGHER YOUR REP, THE MORE "PROTOTYPE WEAPONS" HE OFFERS FOR YOU TO "TEST IN THE FIELD" FOR REP. Reaching a certain Rep with Banshee allows you access to "Armsday", a weekly purchase that allows you to ORDER LEGENDARY GUNS with GLIMMER.
Crucible and Vanguard Marks are gone! ALL HAIL THE UNIVERSAL "LEGENDARY MARKS" FOR LEGENDARY VENDOR PURCHASES!
Class specific materials needed for upgrading are gone! Hadronic Essences, Armor Plating, etc. have been replaced by "Armor Materials", making it easier to utilize materials on one character towards another to progress them.
NO LONGER FORCED TO WEAR A CLASS ITEM WHEN LEVELLING UP NEW MONARCHY, DEAD ORBIT, OR FWC (you pledge to each faction!)
You can turn in materials to these above factions for a Rep Gain (like the Speaker with Glimmer)
NEW SYSTEM THAT RECORDS ALL SHADERS AND, ONCE YOU'VE GAINED IT, YOU'RE ABLE TO CHOOSE FROM THEM ANYTIME YOU VISIT THE SYSTEM (also shows you the Shaders you don't have AND HOW TO OBTAIN THEM!)
Same above system with Emblems!
New Exotics are tied into Questlines!
RAIL GUN FUSION RIFLE HEAVY WEAPON EXOTIC HNNNNNG YE SON YOU READ THAT RIGHT.
Eight new Crucible Maps
Weekly Crucible and Trials bounties! Complete all 5 of the Weeklies for the week, and you gain access to a 6th that has a chance to reward you either a Legendary or Exotic!
ENDGAME THAT EXPLORES PREVIOUS ENDGAME (Vault of Glass) AND FURTHERS TO STORY EVEN AFTER FINISHING THE STORY MISSIONS
Bosses/mechanics that aren't purely Bullet Sponge-y![/quote]
The betas almost over boys! I am so excited for these changes. God it's gonna be good.

Holy fucking shit I need to pre-order The Taken King.

It does feel like they're releasing completely new game.

I got massive goosebumps, holy shit
look at that fucking elk and space warlock helmet

I wish they showed that guardian getting bitch slapped literally .5 seconds after charging Crota with the sword, lol

For $50 it better be a new game.
[QUOTE=agentfazexx;48380565]For $50 it better be a new game.[/QUOTE]
$40
[QUOTE=AcidAmbience;48380572]$40[/QUOTE]
Not much different. lol
I'm gonna buy the taken king but I'm gonna be angry about it
The taken king looks AMAZING and with the weapons nerf (namely handcannon) due out around the same time, this autumn is looking pretty damn good for Destiny right now
Im gonna be getting it for 20$ since im gonna split the money with a friend ( alredy have 10$ on my psn wallet. Just 10 more and im ready)
TTK HYPE
[QUOTE=agentfazexx;48380588]Not much different. lol[/QUOTE]
off by 25%, adds up yo. Wasn't it more initially, before they backed down on the collector's edition perks being so expensive?
still glad I got the deal I did by starting with legendary edition, basically $20 each for game + all 3 expansions, shitty that existing players (especially those with existing expansions) can't chime in on the same deal. Hoping I'll have time to start playing again in a week or two, in the middle of a huge move

I read it was $60 initially. $40 is about the very edge of being what I'd pay for, for an expansion. But seeing as this is like redoing the entire game, it is more do-able.

It was never $60 it was never $50 it was always $40

Its $60 for everywhere but the US.
Cause Activision don't seem to know about exchange rates.
$40 =/= £40.
everywhere but America always gets shafted when it comes to videogames and their prices
I haven't played Destiny since release, but I am willing to give it another chance.
What has changed since then/should I be aware of?

Aside from the new content, not much. Bungie has basically done nothing in the ways of balancing since the great Auto Rifle nerf. In the crucible, everyone runs Thorn/last word as primary, shotgun or Her Benevolence secondary, and Tomorrows Answer heavy
Trials of Osiris is the new endgame PvP, Prison of Elders is the new endgame PvE content

A lot. Mostly that you don't have to grind as much at all anymore. Planet materials can now just simply be bought instead of having to farm them. Level cap has been brought up to level 34 and there is a new raid and a new arena. There is a bunch more quality of life fixes but I can't really list them all.
