First mission done. It's really good. Love the pistol side arm. Reforging weapons is fucking great. Got the Dead Orbit scout. Reforged it to get Triple Tap,Explosive roungs and firefly.

I'm loving it so far.  I've got two new pieces of armor (chest piece and gauntlets).  I love the Sidearm.  Very cool/useful weapon.  I really like the layout of the Reef.  It's more streamlined than the Tower.  The Nightfall was pretty cool.  Definitely challenging, at least for it being our first time through.

Totally overwhelmed. The game feels close to complete now.

As Crispy said online, if you picked up the game right now you would be cummin in your pants with the overall content and gameplay.

This feels like a proper expansion pack, and I've not even done half of it. The new missions are excellent, usually I'd moan about reusing old content but the way the story takes us back to where our Ghost initially found us at the beginning of the game is brilliant. Loads of lore and whatnot too. The bounties, although samey samey, aren't bad and a nice addition to the game.

 

The simplification of armour and weapon upgrades looks like it's going to be good, but I'm yet to delve far enough into that to pass concrete judgement.If nothing else, the ability to trade in all your unwanted junk for something that might actually come to good use is great.

 

I also like the way that you still have to go to the tower for certain things, keeping it valid. In WoW for example, you go to any of the major cities from previous expansions and they're completely dead. A shame really as they're lovely.

 

The attention to detail is great too. As frank said, the set designers put in some serious work. I'm not talking about the stuff you're dying all over, but look out of windows and stuff, it's awesome.

 

One minor fallback which isn't too big but still one of my biggest annoyances in this game is that all the new bad guys are basically revamped models of existing stuff. Shanks are shanks, the walker is a walker, everything else is everything else. I must however concede that they added some nice touches which go a small way to appeasing me, and that's variety in the models, like sniping and exploding shanks.

 

Another small annoyance which is again 100% down to my personal taste, is that annoying voice of the new narrator. Can someone give the guy a fucking lozenge?

 

 

Still got a bit of content to do. It's a shame we didn't get a raid but then I haven't been in Trials yet so don't really know how far to take that statement. Really looking forward to the new PVP as well.

 

 

So far I'm impressed.

So far so good. Spent most of last night decrypting blue engrams though! Got a bunch of new guns to try out.

I've kinda promised Charlie not to get too far into it until he gets back from school trip on Thursday night, so while I'm itching to do PoE I'm trying to hold back. Have worked the quest and story on my Titan. Ran the nightfall and dropped etheric light so Titan is now 33 (upgraded my high intellect Crota boots).

Missions have been good, and ToO to come as well, good job

Love it so far. I have to say that the comments of it feeling like a proper expansion pack is spot on. I like the way they are linking tasks with standard patrol missions which then have a relevance in the new factions and also the PoE.

Did the lvl 28 PoE with Lee last night and loved it as it had matchmaking. But the lvl 32 was a bridge too far as it was just the 2 of us and that last boss was a bitch! But it's finally good to have some testing content rather than the cheese fests we've become used to. Level 35 PoE is going to be a real acheivement i feel. Plus there is still relevance in VoG and CE as they've added the new exotics to the loot table drops

re Bob on NF - I think its a great strike. Chris, Tommy and I played it early doors and it has a feel of a 'in your face, smash and grab' strike. Although the boss part was fairly straightforward, the run up to it was enjoyable and you could meet it with aggression even knowing you could wipe quite quickly.

We may not use at the moment but whats on offer does play into using the calendar. You can set nights up to do Nightfalls, Weeklies, Raids, PoE, ToO, Iron Banner and just regular bounty nights (as the offering of them is nicely balanced atm).

Hopefully this feeling will last longer than a week.

Man the last boss on PoE with the Cabal us a bitch. Sam,Tommy and I failed so hard at it. We had him down to less than a quarter health and wiped. Hunters will have a hard time I think being squishy. It was frustrating but enjoyable at the same time.

The cabal boss is a pain.  Me, Si and chip were so close to wiping loads of times.  Including the time I got randomly teleported into a group of cabal.  I think the key is jellys, and 3 different element specials. 

 

Overall its good, but I'm pretty sure I'll have seen and done everything by tonight......

It sounded like a great job you guys did.

I ain't gonna lie Crispy, I think you've hit the wall on Destiny if you view the ex pack as done and dusted already.

Much as I like what I have seen I'm not so sure about this ethnic light thing though. Does this mean we are just going to have to grind and grind and the only way to 34 is RNG luck? Can imagine that getting stale pretty quickly.

It will be interesting to see what level iron banner armour is, as this was one route to top level gear. If you still need etheric to upgrade iron banner gear it becomes a bit pointless? Anyone know?

It's not done and dusted, and it's a massive leap forward on the shitty dark below thing.  But the biggest benefit it has is the large number of people I enjoy playing with.  If everyone started to play something else tomorrow, that's where I'd be.

 

The 2nd PoE run we did was right on the ragged edge of my skill, which makes a change from a guaranteed finish.  Shotguns all the way baby!

If you've got this far, can you afford NOT to?  All that effort for nothing..........

My first impression:

The missions are a lot of fun and very creative

The reef is pretty cool.

The new strike is pretty intense. I don't mind running it.

The prison of elders is incredible. I've only played the level 28 but it was so much fun. I can't wait to run it with my Titan and just punch everything in its stupid face.

So far it's a 7.6/10

Level 28 PoS isn't too bad, but wait until you get to the level 32 mode.  Hoooooly shit.  The final boss fight against Cabal...  the things of nightmares.
