If they drop the price on TK before June mebbe I'll reup. I just realized a couple weeks ago that I'm only a few trophies away from having 100% of the year one trophies and the only one I don't have that looks hard to get is the perfect raid one. That kinda tempted me. heh On the other hand I have no idea how I'd have time for it... I doubt TK will get cheap... and No Man's Sky is coming in June.
Tempted to play The Division as well, but that's even more expensive. I'm not going in full price on that so may skip it. We'll see...

Depending on how much is in the update and how hard it will be to get to max light, it might have ko'd any plans to get The Division for me

If the imprisoned exotics are released in this update, I'll play more than I do now. If not, and I see them released in a later expansion that requires a purchase, I will likely call it quits. I've seen Bungie fanboys on Reddit defend the release of TTK on grounds that Bungie were just late in releasing content rather than actually cutting it up for an extra purchase. So if the latter is untrue, then the existing locked out exotic armours as seen in Bungie.net's armory would not be hidden in a DLC that requires money. Is this really any different from gear being only accessible via microtransactions then?
Edit: Apparently the Thagomizers have been featured in promotional videos and not removing them from Bungie.net's website will only further advance suggestions that content has been cut up yo be sold back as DLC to the detriment to the game. People said this about Trials of Osiris during launch.

No updated VoG or Crota's End content for the April update. Looking more and more like we're only getting one new questline, one new strike, and a Taken-ified PoE. I guess we'll find out more tomorrow during the Twitch reveal thing, but if that's all there is, no amount of new gear or exotics is going to hold my interest. New things to play with are fine, but we desperately need new things to do.

Told ya they ain't got shit bro!
Does that mean the Hebbs are gonna be on BF4 a bunch still? Do Hebbs like hopping into chopper gunner seats along with flying horses? BF4 + Premium is on sale this week so I might buy it for the uhh.. fourth time.

My intention is to play BF4 when THebb (and/or you, if you get it) is on, and The Division (yep, I caved) when I'm all by my lonesome or nobody wants to play BF.

Funnily enough I probably would have kept playing Destiny for a good while if TK hadn't come out. There were lots of things I didn't have yet or still wanted to do. TK just made all of that obsolete so I never bothered. Maybe it was a good choice after all. Sounds like I saved myself $40...

Everyone remembers that this is a free update with TTK, right?
Did people really think they were going to give us a new VOG/CE for free?
C'mon.... We're smarter than this

I think everyone hoped DLC in year two would at least be equal to year one. Apparently, it is not. Looks like microtransactions aren't paying enough for them to put any real dollars behind it, so we're not getting squat until Destiny 2. Here's hoping Bungie gets smarter with the next one.
I'm currently more tempted to get The Division than TK, to be honest. I know TK is supposed to be a pretty cool guy, but I dunno. I'm not into it enough to pay full price for The Divsion, though. heh
I'm a cheap bastard. I only get to buy like 2 games a year or so, maybe some cheap sales on Steam or Humble Bundles. $60 for a single game sounds like a damned fortune to me these days. heh

Naw. I just budget. I don't buy every game, I buy the ones I'm most interested in. Then I pickup my free PSN games and the odd games on sale on Steam or Humble Bundle. I spend about half my game time with whatever game I'm currenly playing on PS4 and the other half usually playing something really old but really good on PC... (currently Fallout 3, but I also have newer games to catch up on when I'm done with it.)
I used to buy a lot of games, but I don't have time to play them so why waste the money? I can't play 4 or 5 hours a day. LAWL! Maybe in a week... or two... So yeah I'm stingy as Foxtrot, but I got tired of buying games for even $20 to still have not played them by the time they dropped to $5. These days my rule is I only buy a game if I'll actually play it before it gets that cheap again. That means there are very few games I'll even pay $5 for, because I just don't have time for them. Games that I'll actually pay $60 are gosh darn golly gee whized rare. Like I said, probably about 2, maybe 3 per year.
It's no big deal, though. I don't have to play the newest games. I have hundreds of games on Steam already. I'm honestly never going to play them all. But I'm also never short of games to play. There's plenty. I can wait a few years to Play Witcher 3. Hell, I haven't played 1 or 2 yet. FarCry 4... meh... Still haven't explored the whole map in FarCry 3... and so forth. I can take my time, pick and choose what I think will be the most interesting and to hell with the rest. I've mostly skipped nearly every CoD since MW2. Sure I eventually got BO1, MW3, and BO2, but I got 'em cheap. Hell I think BO2 was a gift. I wasn't terribly into any of them so I don't really feel I missed much.
I don't regret getting Titanfall at launch, though. heh I don't even regret getting Destiny at launch. I had a lot of fun with it. This is just how it is. Everyone has to budget their money, time, and interest. I may have less of those to spare than a lot of gamers, but it doesn't matter. I'm still a gamer.

Well, here's the gist of it: www.bungie.net/en/pub/AprilUpdate. Should be entertaining for a few weeks but I don't see it tiding anyone over a whole lot longer than that.

Looks like infusion is here to stay. Don't know if this means our existing gear is nerfed like before, or we can max to 11 tiers more easily.

From what I caught of the Twitch stream it seemed like it boiled down to doing some 15 minute special POE runs every week for a chance to play the 335 slot machine with Variks. Meh.
