It's actually the complete opposite of that. Bungie and Activision do not want anyone thinking of this in MMO terms.
They will be pushing that this is a completely new game, from the ground up, and not a platform.
Because it really isn't. This is as if we were moving from one CoD to the next. Or from FFXI to FFXIV. And Activision will make sure to let that be known so it's not tied to any negative opinions of the original.
Thank you. What the hell is a Discord, and how do I get in on that shizz? I didn't PUG or LFG much (I was part of two and a half damn reliable raid groups), but when I did, I preferred Dos Equis. I mean, the100.io.
I too would like to get in on this Discord.
Apologies if answered. They specifically mentioned moving that one up because -due to the raid always having been so thoroughly broken, to the extent it's just a glorified strike- they worked really hard to retool it so that it plays more like an actual raid. I believe they mentioned it was the one most changed for Age of Triumph, so they want it front and center.
Edit - clarification.
That will be patched out according to bungie next week.

Patch Notes Preview
These next three modules belong to your Community Manager. Check out the details, the people, and the media he's been tracking.
Cozmo: The Patch Notes for update 2.6.0 are locked, loaded, and ready to go. As always, we will post them along with the update on March 28 around 10:00 AM Pacific. Here is a little preview of a few changes you can expect to see next Tuesday.
Updated Crucible Daily Bounties to be more inclusive, no longer requiring specific Subclasses or Fireteams
Fixed an issue where a player on the surviving team could use Fireborn to cause the round to continue even when all enemies were dead
Fixed an issue that allowed Supers to stay activated longer than intended
That's just a taste. The rest of the notes will appear on the blog, like they always do when you need something to pass the time while the download wheel turns.

Thanks. It was fun to make something purposely cheesy.
I'd like to join too, if possible?
Me too please.

From a vender you'd probably want to go with 'The Vacancy' from FWC.
Additionally:
'Saladin's Vigil' is obtainable from the Archon Forge, but it's RNG and it can take a bit of time to have one drop, let alone one with the perks you require.
Some of the Crucible FRs are considered good, but extreme RNG for those.
Susanoo is one I enjoy using for Warlock, and is easy to get from Gunsmith. But stat and perk wise it's objectively worse than my favorite.
Thesan FR4
As someone who uses only Fusions in crucible, I'd say 'Thesan FR4' is my personal favorite. It's from the Gunsmith. So you may have to wait a few weeks to get that one with rolls you like.
Ultimately, I look for Rangefinder on any Fusion I want to use. You can one shot 'snipe' with that perk. People put down Fusion Rifles a lot. And objectively, it makes sense. But I personally have more fun using FRs than SGs and I'm awful with Snipers. Really it just comes down to SGs being far easier to use. The key to using a FR effectively is proper use of your radar. If you time your charge correctly, you will have a one up on any shotgun user as long as your positioning is set up properly. I.E. you are out of their range with a partially charged FR shot ready to go as soon as you make visual contact.
Help a dad out here.
My boy wants to play Destiny on his 360. I see the base game everywhere for cheap, and I've seen some Taken King versions as well, but they are all marked with a "no dlc included" sticker.
Is all of the Legacy content free and available to anyone that plays the game on 360/PS3? Or do I need to find a Taken King version of the game?

77 wizard is also a good option

I want oneMade a thing.
Just do the forge and get a Salabim's blaster to drop.
Without any DLC they can play the vanilla story and the legacy playlists for Crucible (there are 3) and play Patrol and Story missions without Gold on Xbox
On PS3 you can do everything that doesn't require DLC, because there's no subscription requirement on that version.
Note that on 360 they will need an actual hard drive.
If you look around you should be able to find new copies of the Taken King Legendary Edition for like 15-20$.
ill go get that one and grind for the archon forge one too

Dem 10 tick rate servers
Presumably the games you're looking at are pre-owned? If so, that would explain the "No DLC Included" sticker as all of the disc versions of Destiny are vanilla only. All the DLC comes in the form of download codes.
Halo 5 is dedis only yeah
I disagree completely.
Although they did make great strides in terms of story and structure, the actually playable content of vanilla Destiny was the best it's been.
There was a quality in the encounters of those first bach of strikes and in VoG that nothing since has matched.
If you play a destiny tourney against people with good connections then there isn't lag.
Destiny is 30 tick. One check for every frame. It was confirmed in a TWAB not too long ago.

Ah, unless Bungie confirmed it after this thread on Reddit, but I don't see any updates on it. https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...rstanding_destiny_networking_why_packet_loss/
Yeah it was recent. In a TWAB. They were addressing that thread and other talk like that.

I'd be willing to bet money that you are in a very tiny minority.
Strikes: TTK strikes had variety. Vanilla strikes are heavily criticized for bullet sponge bosses and wave defense.
Raids: All are pretty good but the first raids are highly cheesed. And the newer ones reward systems are far better. Encounters for all are great.
Story missions: Here's where I'm confused. How are TTK missions not better than vanilla? Stealth misson, black spindle secret, variety. Vanilla = go to a thing, scan, wave defense, repeat.
And talk about playable content. How much fun was it going around Mars in circles to collect 160 relic iron to fully upgrade your armor set, only to do it all over again once you got your raid gear? Vanilla had a lot of problems.
Sorry but I just don't see it.

Turning the elemental primaries into exotics is a smart solution to make us go back to our non elemental legendary weapons at some point, yet it isn't the perfect solution.It makes the other non raid or non elemental exotic weapons more inferior than they used to be pve wise.
For me, it's about how things worked in Vanilla. I'll agree with you that some things improved, but I preferred Vanilla personally. I liked that the Nightfalls actually gave good loot and that buff was great for XP all week. I liked that they had the 3x burn. Raid loot was actually worth going after with elemental primaries. Bounties were easy and worth a lot of XP. Now they're annoying and worth hardly any XP. I liked the RNG exotics over quests/free exotics for everybody.
I realize they're bring some of this back with this last patch but it's been 2 years of TTK without it.
