Thanks, Gentlemen. I should be able to get to forty very easily. I still have ten of the 5000xp bounties from a month ago on each character that I never turned in because I had nothing to level. ill just make sure I hold them until it opens up the new subclass first.

so it's definitely confirmed that if you max out the upgrades on a legendary item it drops more marks than it would otherwise?

grab a red bull.

I put in a code from a can of red bull and turned in 16 bounties at once, not all 5000xp either, and went from 34 to 40 in one shot.

What is required to get the Taken King expansion? I think I have the Dark Below expansion but I do not have the House of Wolves.

You say that after I turn it 40 all at once

Yea, I turned off my notifications last night while I was playing . No offense to the guys I regularly play with on this board, but I also want to explore/discover and figure things out on my own, and actually pay attention to the cutscenes at least the first time around. I'm also taking my time (barely level 36 on 1 character), so I'm way behind everyone and I'd rather not have to have people replay the missions already knowing what to do while I go check things out for the first time.

So I just defeated Oryx... that was, disappointing. Do we fight him on round two in the Raid? I hope it's more dramatic and epic. The artefacts are weird rewards and those shaders are REALLY ugly but it's cool that I have my first year 2 Legendary.

Being 40 doesn't matter. It matters for your light level. What he says still applies.

defeating Oryx is only the beginning, the game now takes you through the fallout from his defeat, which includes the upcoming raid.

We were fighting the Taken Champion on Mars at Rubicon Wastes and during the battle, it said, "A pack of wolves are prowling".
So we found the Wolf Scavengers and Servitor that we couldn't kill before, by the beginning of the Valus Tau-arc strike. Killed them. Then the ship started dropping off enemies just like when you fought the wolves on the other planets.
The final drop was a bigger, more powerful boss though.
Nice to see the wolves dropping again.

my biggest concern about the raid is that they're saying it's the longest and most complicated raid they've ever done. That sounds fun, but the logistics of actually executing a raid that takes a few hours? oof.

I got killed by those guys last weekend, several days before the expansion dropped. I just stumbled into them trying to grab a mission beacon and was like, WTF IS THIS!

Yeah I had enough trouble getting a team to stick it out through VOG. If this is bigger and even more complex I can see a lot of unfinished runs.

Default Bungie Weekly Update - 09/17/15

https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=13575

Quote:
This week at Bungie we finally coronated Oryx as the Taken King of Destiny.

Your first steps onto the Dreadnaught mark the end of a long journey for us – both as developers and as a community. All year, we dreamed of what Destiny could and would be in Year Two. All summer, we thought about the day one wave of Guardians that would establish the first beachhead aboard Oryx’s fortress. In the final weeks that led to the here and now, we took just about every opportunity we could think of to tell you that our next adventure was about to begin.

And it has begun.

Now, we’re listening. That’s always the best part – when we get to shut up and pass the mic to you. Now we get to listen to your stories from Destiny. Some of them are about the talents you’re unlocking and the battles you’re waging. Others are about obstacles we need to clear from your path. No matter the narrative, we’re all ears. This is the moment when we truly learn what we’ve created, and it’s why each and every one of us at Bungie wanted to work on a game just like Destiny.

We hope you’re having fun on this new adventure. We’re right there alongside you, plundering that loot-filled fortress and leveling up a new sub-class (although we are on strict orders not to spoil any secrets, or any of your fun). We know the job of serving this community is never done, so we’re doing that thing, too.

Welcome to Year Two.


Of Gods and Kings

Facing Oryx was never the end...

The time has come once again to put the Destiny community to the ultimate test. Teams are poised, ready to explore the unknown. Trusted allies have formed into tightly knit Fireteams prepared to take on any challenge, together. For many a Guardian, the pinnacle activity of The Taken King’s player experience still beckons.

Heroes are about to be born. We've seen players plunge into the howling darkness and emerge from the smoldering aftermath as legends. It's a thing we love to witness. It’s time to see who among you can enter the clearing first.

King’s Fall begins tomorrow at 10 AM Pacific. The countdown has begun.

Of Odds and Bling

As a close second to the start of a new Raid, another hotly-anticipated event in the world of Destiny is the arrival of our perennial dealer of all things Exotic. He is the Agent of the Nine. You know him more affectionately as Xûr. Destiny Year Two wouldn’t be the same without him. Yet, like so many things in Destiny, that snake-faced bastard will behave differently now.

Xûr’s got a brand new bag. Curious about what’s in it? Senior Design Lead Tyson Green (perhaps you remember him from the Destiny Year Two Reveal) is here to talk about the strange being who arrives in the middle of the night to take earn your Strange Coins.

Tyson: In Year One, Xûr was a community “loot drop,” a shared rallying point that everyone could cheer or curse. In Year Two, Xûr’s offerings have been changed so that he will select either a specific Exotic Weapon or an Exotic Engram for sale every week. This change is due primarily to our desire to give players more direct paths to acquiring the Exotics they want through Quests and gameplay experiences, and to avoid repetition in his inventory.

Xûr will also sell a new consumable, the Three of Coins, which gives bosses a chance to drop Exotic Engrams, including Weapon Engrams. These consumables have a cumulative luck effect, so even if one doesn’t net you a drop, the next one has a higher chance to do so.

Lastly, Xûr will also choose a Legacy Engram every week. These Engrams contain Year One Exotics (at Year One Attack and Defense levels) for players who want to finish up a Collection. They strongly bias towards Exotics not already in your Blueprint Collection, to help fill in the blank slots - excluding Mythoclast and Necrochasm, which are still only available from their Year One sources.

Xûr has said so many times himself: His will is not his own.

If someone asks you, "Do people still play this game?," you can give them this article.
