Destiny: Taken King Dlc

I was actually surprised to hear so soon of this dlc, especially since House of Wolves has only been available for just a month. But sometimes you get pleasant surprises and this dlc looks interesting, mostly because of the ominous feeling you get while watching the trailer. Something bad is coming your way, someone or something that wants you dead! So it's a good thing you get some new weapons and skills to defend yourself.


A new subclass?


Every class gets one new subclass, I don't know the names but I can describe what I saw. The hunter gets a bow made out of void energy that can shoot void arrows which might be as deadly as the golden gun or you can fire more arrows but do less damage. The titan gets a hammer, now before you laugh at the size I do think it's pretty cool because it gives the titan solar damage and you can throw it on the ground in a way that reminds me a bit of Thor in the Marvel movies. The warlock gets an arc damage barrage that looks a lot like what the wizards of the hive do, which can be very effective on a group of enemies. I think the hunter wins with how cool that new subclass looks but it still remains to be seen how effective these new subclasses are and how effective they really are.


A darker story?


That's what the trailer is trying to show us I think, how Oryx (the father of Crota, the hive boss in the dark below raid) is looking for revenge and is creating an army to destroy you. Which can be fun to play, at least if this expansion will give you a lot of new missions and other stuff. But I think that will be ok, because this won't be some tiny dlc update but a full blown expansion with a lot of new stuff. I also saw a moon (I think) with rings which might suggest that the gas giants (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) might be added or at least some of the moons around these gas giants. This is probably just wishful thinking but it could be possible!


Is it worth still playing Destiny?


I've asked myself this question several times and it's really up to you to decide if you want to keep playing, because if you feel like you're wasting time in the game and it's no longer fun for you then you should definitely move on. But if you still enjoy playing Destiny or you want to take a risk with this expansion then it makes sense that you buy this dlc. My advice is to get as much information before you actually buy it, make certain that this is what you want because there will be some competition out. For example Metal Gear Solid V will launch on the 1st of September so you might want to spend your money on that first. But if you really want to keep playing Destiny then you can play this expansion on the 15th of September.
