Reading on changing the leveling system. That is a great move, one of the reasons (maybe the #1 reason) why I quit was because it was so tedious to grind missions, bounties and materials for hours to progress one light point. It was stupid and boring and I quit.
If it were like this new system from the beginning, I probably would have stuck around, maybe not an entire year, but more than 50-60 hours of playtime.
I have no intention of returning, though, plenty other games to play so Destiny is not even in the running, especially for $80.

Also, great that they ditched that Dinkleberry, he was awful. Let him reap his 15 minutes of GoT fame somewhere else, as a voiceover he is pitiful.

I just checked and I increased my playtime to 896 hours.

I'm the 11429 in the world... there are guys with over 3k hours.

Amazing.

I play with some of those guys on a daily basis. I'm nearly at 2k myself. 

As the new things I hate:

• Fatebringer is now really going to be useless as well as all of the other OG raid weapons.
• Teleporting Thrall (Lightswitch Nightfall will be extremely frustrating)
• Phalanxes with shots that track around corners (So they all have Truth?)

That was expected... for more than I love Fatebringer the fact it was better than the Word of Crota was really annoyming... if you had FB why you will care to get the new HC in the expansion like happened in TDB.

About the others issues... well the game needs to get hard :D

Thank you for putting this together!

Really happy with those updates.

May finally be time to get back into Destiny.

Seem like another huge Destiny info coming today.

Don't get me wrong, I welcome the challenge but some of those enemies already pissed me off and now they're giving them new ways to piss me off. As for the old weapons, I worked hard to get 3 Fatebringers and now it won't really matter. Also it bothered me too that Fatebringer was better than Word of Crota, but that's on Bungie. They should've gave Word of Crota the firefly perk. It's still tops when there's Void Burn. 

Off Topic:
I'm starting to realize that you and I have very similar tastes in games. Well other than GT as I've lost my love for racing games for the time being. GT3 A-Spec is still probably one of my most played games ever with Perfect Dark, Ninja Gaiden 2, Halo 2 and now Destiny.

New article coming soon...
