" They say they sent the news early by accident and that the video will actually go live at 1pm ET today, so we’ll just have to stare at the screen for an hour and a half waiting for the good part, which should be a familiar activity to anyone who plays Destiny."

I officially broke my Destiny addiction... Been 13 days since I've played. House of Wolves should be nice eventually, but I've been having fun with the Hearthstone expansion, Borderlands 2, and some good old Dark Souls.

Been taking a break, myself. Haven't logged in for a couple weeks... Still following things here and Reddit some and planning to get back in there at some point, but I've been trying to make progress in GTAV after starting over again so I may just focus on that until HoW.

It's hilarious how Bungie tries to make this all dramatic and like a movie, rich in plot and details...
...and then the DLC comes out, and it's just like here's some maps, a few strikes, some armor & weapons...all which have NOTHING do with any plot whatsoever. Come on people.

Regarding the plots: 1) I sincerely believe that HoW will be better in this aspect. After all, Destiny started at the rock bottom and there is nowhere to go but up; 2) I am the kind of the players who don't really care about plots. One of the best FPS games with strong characters and interesting stories, "Halo CE" (aka Halo 1), I did not know and care what it was about until my 3rd or 4th play through with my wife . With a new FPS game, what I am going for at the beginning is what weapons I can use, and what enemies I can shoot. Everything comes later. That said, I grew fond of the Halo stories over the years, to the point that I am willing to pay real money to buy Halo novels. Sadly that will probably never happen to Destiny, as the entire game's setup is not providing much rooms for character development. Regarding the trailer: 1) As a marketing tool, the trailer is almost always designed to be void of any details, so fans can let the imagination go wild, which is the primary basis for hype; 2) With 1+ months to go, the marketing has to have a long runway to hype through. Expect very few tangible details before the launch; 3) It is understandable that they are not even mentioning raid. Does it mean that there is no raid in this DLC? Very unlikely. Then what's the reason? IMHO it is because there is no need to market on raid for 2 reasons: a) raid is EXPECTED to be solid because that's Destiny's primary selling point; and b) Bungie needs to intentionally maintain the mystery around raid so there is almost nothing they can say about it other than abstract hype; 4) What I am excited about, is the new game modes and Crucible changes. I have made my point in the past why I think they are critical for Destiny's ability of attracting player engagement, so I won't repeat it again here

Can some members with MMO experience talk about arenas and how they worked? Reading some of the comments on Reddit, it sounds like there were some arenas in WOW, that were consecutive boss fights.

wittyscorpion I have to assume there will not be a "raid" like the first two in the new DLC. The omission of the word "raid" in the marketing is far too glaring to be a mistake.

That would be "interesting" to say the least. Hopefully Bungie can come out and make things clear soon regarding whether there is going to be a raid or not.

When it comes to single player games I usually follow the plot quite closely. I play at my own pace and try not to miss things.
With Destiny... I don't much care. I haven't even beat the vanilla story missions on a single character yet. When I was playing I was too busy with bounties, weeklies, Iron Banner, ect... Actually beating the game and finishing the story, (such that it is)... not a priority.
TDB felt like it had a bit more plot than vanilla, though the mission structure was hella disjointed due to them simply designing the missions around adding a couple hallways and rooms to the map extensions and having to find quasi random start positions for you to end up in said places... I had always hoped that the areas of the map that clearly left room for expansion would open up someday to whole new areas the equivalent of the Forgotten Shore or so, not just a tiny private mission space only used in one mission... But meh...
Anyway if HoW has no more plot than TDB or even vanilla... I won't care. That's what I expect. If it has even one iota more plot then I'll be pleasantly surprised.

Finally we actually have some details, whether or not I will give in to the expansion is based around how they will handle upgrades, which will be detailed next wednesday. Also the new trials of osiris gear looks mighty fine, and boy will it be hard to earn in PVP, iw5000 is gonna be pissed. Also I know a bunch of people will be very happy to see this:

Not too happy TBH.
No raid.
A rebadged Iron Banner.
I'm hanging on to the PvE co-op event that's Not a raid. If it's straight up Horde it's not good news.

Was looking forward to Trials of Osiris but I don't care for Skirmish. Don't mind Horde but the game is like that for the most part. I am guessing Bungie are saving another Raid but that will cost you. Kerching!

The community has been begging for a proper horde mode/firefight thingy since launch. I guess it makes sense they would make it cost us a new raid. They better bring their A game if it's going to be end game content, though.

Good point there hawk. And that kind of blows my mind. Destiny is going to leave out one of the best elements of the game, in it's next DLC? Then again...if their internal published stats are correct, that fewer than 20% (or so) of people even Raid, perhaps it's time they shore up the other aspects of this game. Things like Crucible, making Strikes less repetitious, better reward system for NF's, and adding other elements that require skill, not bullet sponging.

Come on people. It's the 2nd DLC in a 10 year game project... what are you expecting? lol you don't need years to make a plot polo. Come on. And to think suddenly in the 4th game, 7th year,...a surprise Game of Thrones like plot will suddenly surface? Absurd. The only surprising plotline here is how long they keep fans thinking there will be a surprise plot coming at some point. Note - I don't give two shits about plot to play this game. I still play it way to much. Plot isn't needed, it's a shooter. My only point was kind of joking at how they are still pushing story lines on this. Pushing dramatic GoT music ridden promos that talk about revenge, murder, and ....who the fvck knows. I don't even understand the plot. The Awoken were friends with the lizards, but the lizards betrayed them? When? Since I last visited the reef? Why are the awoken on the reef? Is it that Queen lady? Why does a futuristic space lizard need to wear medieval armor? I give up on plot lol. Let me shoot sh1t and get loot.

Looks like I'll be hitting up VoG to try to get those weapons I still haven't had drop (oh Fatebringer, why do you taunt me so?) in case you are able to upgrade weapons to the new damage levels.
