The Taken King has only made my time in Destiny that much more rewarding. I really like the raid, it is fun and challenging. With a well coordinated team it can feel almost easy, but that is because everyone is doing their job and the right information is being shared.

I still have a ways to go to find the right gear. With my highest light gear, I am 307. A few more raids down and I can continue to rise. My alt is 302 at the moment.

Bungie will add microtransactions to its hit space shooter Destiny on October 13, but has promised fans that it won’t offer those with cash a chance to buy their way to a win.

The first items to go on sale in the game via vendor Tess Everis will be eighteen new emotes. A new new in-game currency, silver, will be introduced for the purchase of these items.

“If you’re not interested in what Tess has to offer, you won’t ever be forced to pluck an item off of her shelf. You’ll still receive updates to the game, and you won’t lose a Crucible encounter or fail to clear a Raid because you didn’t have the right Eververse Trading Company emote equipped,” said community manager David ‘Deej’ Dague in an update.

“Our plan is to use these new items to bolster the service provided by our live team for another full year, as they grow and create more robust and engaging events that we’ll announce later this year. It has been, and continues to be, our goal to deliver updates to the game. Going forward, our live team is also looking to grow beyond vital updates and improvements to focus on world events, experiences, and feature requests.”

Bungie will also be handing out free silver to mark the launch.

I beat base game Destiny.

#106

You’re not done until you’re done House of Wolves!

#107

I hate linking to Kotaku but what do?

#108

Wait did I say House of Wolves? WTF. It’s decent, but it’s not Taken King. Taken King is Destiny with time to finish what it starts.

#109

Oh okay. I was wondering why you’d say that. I thought the Dark Below was slightly more interesting than House of Wolves, but only because you get to use a sword for just one mission.

Also, one of the worst lines in human history: BE CAREFUL, THE SWORD IS DARK

Swords are one reason why Taken King is so good. Much more fun to me than a Rocket Launcher.

#111

Beat Taken King. I didn’t get a sword though.

#112

It’s unlocked in a quest from Lord Shaxx. He wants 25 Hatium shards or something like that.

#113

Beat Vault of Glass.
