It's all pretty great.
First, I was surprised at how much territory is still being reused. The first three missions are entirely in old spaces

I agree that, ultimately, it's better but there's a childish part of me that's still a little salty about having paid for them. I'm sure I'll get over it.
This is a Bungie philosophy, not an Activision one. Bungie always wanted the most second most recent map pack to be free. That's why Heroic went free after Legendary came out for Halo 3. This was the plan until Microsoft stepped in and wanted to keep charging for it.
Personally, I love the idea of maps becoming free because it does great things for map variety in the standard playlists. I hate having DLC-only playlists.
Great to see you guys are enjoying the DLC. This dlc seems so much better received than TDB. and believe it or not I actually felt it was worth the money cause the raid was enjoyable. Granted, didn't know the pvp maps would become free. But that's a good thing. Hopefully skyshock is not in the regular Crucible Clash playlist. Skyshock is my least favorite map
Jumped on at the daily reset last night to find more Petra bounties to get my queen rank up but they didn't seen to refresh? Will there be no further bounties with Petra once you've completed them?
What's the best way to get my Queens Wrath rank up?
If we didn't have TDB as a measuring stick, would this still qualify as good DLC?
I'm concerned this may be an instance of lowered expectations and don't want to drop 20 on it and find it lacking.

I personally think it has the best strike in the game. Otherwise, meh.
Agreeing with Kor here.
I think Bungie has finally, finally gotten the hang of chaining together all of the various activities in Destiny into something compelling.
Good is an understatement, OP is the proper adjective.Bahahahahahaha!
Never did a raid. Only ever purchased one exotic from Xur
Just opened PoE large chest for the first time with my one key and got GJALLARHORN
This thing is good right?
Sorry for my bad english, I just wanted to share my experience of this DLC but if I didnt bought the Season pass no way I would buy this DLC at full price and its kinda troublesome to play with my friends since we are 5 and most of the activities are for 3 people. I dont really have hopes Bungie delivering real NEW content at all so I will probably skip the incoming DLC if there is any.
Finally finished Story mode. Great piece of DLC, the story missions are great and the Strike was pretty intense. I've reached Level 32 for now and I have to figure out how to get to levels 33 and upwards.
Gonna dip my toes into PoE tomorrow-y.
A lot of stuff
The first mission, I noticed I was backtracking the Winters Run, slighty modified by Bungie with ramps and Fallen instead of Vex, to end in the winters run cave.
Much appreciated.A simple route to 33 ... complete PoE at level 32 for an armor core, and trade it for the House of Judgement arms at the vendor. Then use an exotic shard to ascend whatever exotic you're wearing, and you'll be there.
We have to accept that the story missions are never going to be as good as a single narrative like the Halo games were and are more of the MMO variety.
You don't have to accept anything. Don't stand up for mediocrity and defend it as 'it won't be better', because it could be, and if people keep voicing their opinions, it will be.
My 2 cents: the expansion is better than DB, but not much; still too much reused content, still too much content that was cut from the main game. Also, I don't understand why there's no matchmaking for level 32, 34 and 35 PoE. Why? It was supposed to be a way for players who don't have time to organize for raids...
I just WISH the vanilla Destiny missions had this kind of synergy. I still don't know what that Array station did. I still don't know what those Wizards were doing with the shard of the Traveler. I still don't know ANYTHING about the Cabal. I still don't even know what the hell the Heart in the Black Garden did/was doing.
Bahahahahahaha!

Yea the story in destiny tends to be a mess and too much is left to the grimoire cards. As for the questions you posed:
The Array:The station is supposed to be the last array capable of connecting to outside colonies. I'm guessing opening it originally put you in to contact with someone but never gets explored any further in the actual game as of yet. The Fallen and Hive are trying to stop you because they want to keep humanity cut off the best they can.
The Shard:In the actual game its because the Hive managed to steal a piece of the Traveler and are slowly draining/corrupting it. There's a couple of theories as to why, the first being that the Traveler is actually the Darkness and the cause of the collapse and that the shard is actually powering the Hive. The second is the Worm theory that the Hive are infected with worms that devour light and therefore are feeding off the shard as a source of power.
Cabal:The theory with the Cabal is that they are running from something seeing they have lost contact with their homeworld. Seeing they are so focused on Mars and none of the other planets, and their interest in studying the Vex, its possible the Vex conquered/turn the Cabal home world in to a machine and the Cabal are trying to fight them.
Black Garden:There's a lot of theories that the Black Garden is actually the inside of the traveler, or was supposed to be back when the old story was around. If you look at http://i.imgur.com/INe4p7M.png it looks fairly similar minus the buildings. Seeing as how it has a similar ability to create machines from nothing its possible this is another version of the traveler or a part of the darkness. Seeing they never explain it though its all up to speculation.
Then there's all the stuff you wouldn't know about if you don't read the cards. The 9, Jovians, the battles like Twilight Gap and so on.
I love the world of Destiny, but they did a piss poor job of fleshing it out and making the story fit together.

I appreciate the background info. I'm actually aware of most of it (just read about the worms a couple days ago), but I still feel a lot of this needs to be shared in game. That, and I noticed of my 4 items, 3 of them you responded to with, "Well the theory is..."
Gone through all the HoW story stuff with my Titan and Warlock. Definitely the best missions in the game, especially story-wise.
Did PoE 28 and 32 with my Warlock. 28 was ridiculously easy but 32 was really challenging, especially the final level. LOT of running around to get enemies bunched together instead of them coming from all angles, hah.
Really enjoying the HoW stuff. Still haven't gone back to the Tower yet since it went live. Wonder what new shit I'll find there too.
Is the sidearm you get from the first quest the only "sidearm" weapon you can acquire?
Do the queens wrath bounties only come back at the weekly reset now? I was surprised to get on and have no new bounties for QW today
I did the first mission which was ok despite being the archon priest backwards then I got sent back to venus to run around killing vandals and I shut it off. Why even include that trash?
Maybe I wasn't in the mood.
The DLC's story is pretty good for Destiny. I enjoyed it.
Eh, it's not like they made crota end freeI agree that, ultimately, it's better but there's a childish part of me that's still a little salty about having paid for them. I'm sure I'll get over it.

Having two-way radio chatter between Petra and Variks was much more interesting and enjoyable than Dinklebot saying "Welp, guess we gotta hack this door/kill this thing" every time.
Feels good, man. Feels good.
Damn those HoJ gloves being 110 Strength though. I had Intellect at 98% and Discipline at 100% with my Iron Banner gloves. Next etheric light I get might go to them... I need to spam all the grenades.
I would think it would feel bad to reach max level in 2 days. See you in september I guess?
