So pretty much an updated PoE along with a updated strike map? Meh I guess Destiny can remain deleted from my hard drive..

I've been in that boss room before. Someone tell me that new Strike isn't just a reused mission area? PLEASE, SOMEONE TELL ME!
Prison of Elders was honestly the worst endgame content they ever added. So boring and slow, same three objectives every time. Instead of a real firefight/horde mode, that's what they gave us.
Deej is insufferable.
Guess I'm waiting until the next real DLC before I even consider touching this again.

Raid finder is not the highest lvl of content WoW now has 4difficulties for raids with raid Finder being the lowest and the gear also looks nothing like the highest difficulty gear mythic.
Blizzard also added mythic dungeons that you cannot matchmake for.
Just addressed. They do count.
Stream is pretty much telling me to play Dark Souls 3 on April 12th and ignore this for a while.
The live team isn't going to create new areas in the game. Just create things to do in the existing spaces.
Looks like part of the Crota raid

Yes, true. So, if CoE is highest content in Destiny, we're expecting MM for King's Fall? I'm excited then.
I'm getting that too. Shame cause I was hoping for an excuse to come back.
Wasn't the engine an absolute nightmare to work with? That's probably the reason why the game doesn't get substantial updates sooner. Last I heard they needed a long time to change just one room or some shit like that, basically the engine is not dev friendly at all.

I don't know. None of this is really hyping me. I was never a big fan of PoE anyway so that doesn't help. This update is free right?

Is it okay for me to delete Destiny off of my Hard Drive now?
Also, this is a good example of how Destiny has no real true engine networking distinction between PvP and PvE. The scoring is done exactly like the Crucible feed and the score is in the lower right just like Crucible. It's just that the AI is on one team and you're on the other.
So far we've seen
PvE
PvPvE (SRL)
PvP (Crucible)
sorry
nerding out

Only if you purchased TTK.
But then you'll re-install it next week, Vaal. Trying to save you from another 40GB download.

Guys, seriously, you do not want mandatory matchmaking for raids or Skolas. You might think you do, but you don't.
Now, a built-in "looking for group"? Yes, please. That would be incredibly useful.
I don't think anyone wants mandatory matchmaking. I don't know why Bungie is incapable of making it an option when they implement it though.
Yeah, I think it's time to retire. Need that hard drive space for Ratchet & Clank.
GG, Destiny.
Was thinking about jumping back in after not playing for half a year, but I think I'll stick with Division for now, and look at Destiny again when expansion news comes out.

Yes no raids but challange strikes are still pretty tough. It's not a real end game right now but my argument wasn't that. It's that people think have optional MM in this game is bad when it really only would help those people who don't want to use some third party website to find people...I understand raids but POE which IMO is basically long strikes just in room. It's not like they would make it manditory MM...just optional like The Division does.
Nope, just looks like it's pure score checkpointing
looks like the risk/reward setup is you keep the boss alive for longer to get more adds to get points off of with the risk of losing it all for getting wiped
edit: oh nevermind looks like Variks starts doing points drain if you don't kill the boss

The engine might be bad but the fact that one of the things added to this update is a slightly different boss is disappointing.
Adding micro-transactions but then adding no interesting content for 6 months is bad no matter what the engine problems are.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Look, I don't really care about Destiny raiding enough for it to matter much to me one way or another, but "WoW doesn't have matchmaking for high-tier raids" is such a disingenuous argument, because in WoW you can actually communicate and use in-game tools to form groups. There is an actual LFG window people can use to find groups for anything including Mythic raids. In an environment where you cannot do that (Destiny), matchmaking is exponentially more important.
Encounter difficulty and complexity are legit factors, but people insisting on hand-waving the matchmaking situation away are just being silly.

Then I'm not coming back until then. As a player with days logged into this game, reused spaces doesn't exactly entice me to come back.
And it looks like The Shrine of Oryx mission area on the moon.
Destiny didn't have a raid either the first couple of weeks too. Same way the division is doing
It feels forced.

Yeah, but is there more Grimoire for idiots like me to chase?

Did I see that right and all of the enemies in POE were light lvl 330?
Will we be a higher lvl then them for once?

So far, it's exactly what I expected on the PVE front. "New" bounties, a strike, a mission, and refurbished POE only with a score to keep track of your grind. I'm pretty sure the drop rate for highest level gear will be poop for the first 3 months as well.
Not sure I want to invest anymore time into Destiny 1 at this point. We had a good run, Bungie
See you in 2017.

Challenge mode story missions (that have MM) are harder and longer than the current Destiny Nightfalls (that does not have MM). Bungie themselves call NF end game.
The Division incursions will be end game activities first one release in April and probably has MM.
Also Division dark zone is an end game activity currently in the game that has MM.
