Yeah $70 is more than a Target new release price, and with a bunch of new titles out not long after that its definitely a wait n see.

Hopefully the new subclasses and supers aren't tied to the expansion pack only at least so everyone gets to play around with them.

lol, you can hope Liv

Ye gads, $70?!!!  That's crazy, even for Activision.  Sorry, hadn't heard of that, or wouldn't have suggested it sounded anywhere near as that alluring.  Hopefully they re-think that before launch, where on earth did they get that price from?!

I played the House of Wolves DLC for like an hour.. don't see myself playing more or less, the same stuff for another year. Which is what i had assumed Bungie's plan is, considering this DLC is the start to "year 2" of Destiny.

I may wait for 'Destiny 2' or whatever comes next.

Is anyone planning on picking up The Taken King? Some of the new content looks pretty cool,but I doubt it's worth the price of entry. Thoughts?

[Aromaci]

Maybe, at some stage when there is a slump in other games to play.

[AroGantz]

We picked it up but it only cost $35 each with gameshare, it makes it a much better deal.

[I_live_4_fun]

I've been thinking about it too so we can do more co-op activities together again but the digital price has been off-putting to me every time I see it. Will wait and see still.

[Aromaci]

It looks like they are trying to do some interesting things and make the game less of a slog.

[Hasan-I]

I am slightly interested for friendship time, but the price and the other games that are coming out have put me off of it for now.

[motoboy76]

Call me crazy but I'm thinking of grabbing this.....

[econodog]

So I ended up purchasing the new expansion, and it's actually pretty good so far. I still feel it is priced too dearly for what it is (in Australia), but I'm hoping to get many hours of enjoyment out of it. Here's a few of the changes that have impressed me so far.

* The adding of quests chains. If you enjoyed those vanilla Destiny exotic bounties that sent you to many different missions / objectives, then you'll enjoy the quests.
* The bounties have been improved. For example, the patrol a planet bounty is no longer 6 beacon missions. It's now go and have fun at that planet killing stuff, opening chests, beacon missions etc - it all adds to the bounty and it doesn't seem like a chore to do. You can also hold a stack more bounties and you no longer need to return to the tower to complete them.
* Armour & weapon parts are now rather useful. You can exchange these at your chosen faction to earn reputation, and every time you level up your faction you earn a guaranteed random legendary + some other goodies. Very good for those of you that have 1,000's of armour materials!
* The PVP daily is actually worth doing since it now rewards you with Legendary marks.
* The drop rate for engrams seems to be a lot more generous, not diablo level generous, but they seem to be dropping rather consistently at the moment.

So if you're on the fence and the above appeal to you, give it a look. The raid is out soonish, so that may well be the deciding factor for some - hopefully it's an epic journey.
