People asked the same thing about Call of Duty. I heard it every single year. "X is going to kill CoD." "Y is definitely going to kill CoD."
You want to know what the only thing that killed CoD was? CoD. They kept trying to innovate instead of perfecting the game. Instead of making great maps like they had in BO1 & BO2 and taking out garbage items to make for smoother play, they kept trying to do other things to compete with other franchises. WHY try to compete with people below you? Compete with yourself. Improve upon yourself!
"Oh, lets make huge maps like Battlefield, except keep it to 6 v 6." "Oh, lets make boring killstreaks but seem awesome because they are futuristic." "Oh, lets have everyone jumping around everywhere and abosolutely kill map flow! That will bring them back!"
In the same way, Destiny is the only thing that can kill Destiny. HoW is a good example. I was initially excited, but after finding out how boring PoE is and how bad the drop rate for Etheric Light is... other than playing Iron Banner last week, I have hardly put any time in. If Bungie just keeps making story mission in the exact same maps we already have (except in the opposite direction to make it look new) and can't create a new enemy or something fresh, that is what will kill Destiny. Give us another Vault of Glass. You want to keep people interested, legitimately improve and add to your game. Don't keep re-using what you have and try to "innovate" away from the winning formula.
That $40 Taken King DLC better have a new planet or a completely new part of a couple of planets or this game with surely die, and absolutely not because some other game came out that was better.

Etheric light is easy as poop to get lol

It seems constipated to me.

Edited by BornPatriot: 6/11/2015 6:43:01 PMI got 6 from IB and one from a NF. Not dropped from PoE 28 & 32. Not tried 34 since none of my friends have level 34 characters. And, as I mentioned, it is boring. None of my friends are in a rush to complete level 34 PoE regularly to get Etheric Lights. I wouldn't say impossible, but it doesn't drop for me. My RNG luck is garbage. I have yet to get a key from a Ether chest. NOT ONE!!!

Play more, there's over 10 chances to get etheric light a week depending on how many characters you have.

I have a job, a wife, and kids. I already play around 20 hours a week as it is. Not going to play more Destiny. I already do 3 NFs, 3 Weeklies, and PoE. No friends to play ToO and people you find online are jerks. 20 hours a week can't get me a couple of Etheric Light a week?
-
Ok I guess it's super hard to get them you win. All I know is I have 25 of them plus all the stuff i ascended 😂
-
I wish I had half that many. lol

We are getting ~12 story missions which will be about 17 because of side quests and stuff A few strikes A raid Some more crucible maps And a new enemy race called the Taken. 3 new subclasses Max level to 30 (non light level) £40? Sure, have it. I'll bite.
-
What we NEED: - story missions that are actually worth playing. Not backtracking the areas we already know and horrible storytelling through stationary characters that give us missions without a single cutscene. Bungie CAN improve the story. Halo didn´t have an amazing one but it was good enough. We need something similar in destiny. -variable spawns in those new strikes. Something that actually makes it interesting everytime you run it. Not the same groups of enemies coming out from the same doors. - I agree with Raid and subclasses. Things like new race is still unconfirmed and max light level to 30 isn´t really anything amazing, it just means more grinding. Everything we know about The Taken King is unconfirmed. So hold on to your thoughts until we get a clear confirmation of what we get.
-
Not Max light level, Max base level as 30.
-
Yes I understood that. But what does it change actually? It just means grinding more XP through bounties. It doesn´t really offer a change in gameplay.
-
Means you can beat Atheon with greens on hard, or crota with greens on easy. Means you can enter then prison of elders match made wearing greens Means the noons just buying destiny will never have to see the grinds we saw against the base game.
-
Sure, but what will it offer for basically the whole Destiny playerbase playing right now. Nothing. We are mostly all 30-32+ and using legendaries. I have no desire using greens.

All being about 40~

Interesting

Edited by BornPatriot: 6/11/2015 6:44:07 PMHow good the games are is personal opinion. I love Battlefield as well. However, I'm not talking about how good that actual game is. I'm simply talking the straight number of players as being the success marker. CoD slammed everyone else for years. I'm using it simply as an example of a juggernaut that is killing itself. I don't want to argue over Battlefield v. CoD because it is a stupid argument. People have their won preference.

Exactly, only destiny can kill destiny.
