[quote]I'm excited for new gear but if they intended to make "year two" a whole new beast they should have just made an entirely new game instead of gutting out what people have enjoyed since launch.[/quote] I didn't touch on this in my post, and I absolutely should have; Most [i]console[/i] games don't go through major overhauls, because new mechanics and balance choices tend to get implemented in [i]sequels[/i]. An "expansion" in WoW is essentially the MMO equivalent of a [i]sequel[/i], not just an add-on. There is no "WoW 2," because Blizzard's "10 year plan" for the game was intended to exist in a single game economy for its entire lifespan. Because of that, it makes more sense for its expansions to overhaul the game in more impactful ways, because they take the place of proper sequels. "Destiny: The Taken King" is [i]not[/i] "Destiny 2." And, if prior interviews and leaked design info are accurate, there [i]will[/i] be an actual, numbered "Destiny 2." As big as TTK might be, it's still an add-on to Destiny "1," as it were, and I think people should view it as such. If Bungie wants to reset the entire game, and start from scratch, [i]so be it[/i], but they should do that [i]in the next game[/i].
