The Dark Below Stories and Impressions

The content is not worth the price at all. Even with the three story missions, only one is replayable. Seriously Bungie? Two thirds if the story content can only be played once?

I do like the improvements around the game economy though. Also Eris does a much better job at voice over narrative than robo dinklage
 
Yeah, for what we get the price is a bit high. I'd be so mad at myself if I stuck with my original plan of getting this on X1, those gamers get shafted even more. But I got the season pass which softened the financial blow a bit.

The new strike is cool. Its nice how we face two different enemy types while we push through and I like the design of the level overall. Doing the nightfall was crazy hard at first. But once we got more familiar with the mission it wasn't that bad. You just have to be careful since you can get in trouble very quickly and then have to start all over.

I hope I get to check out the new raid soon. Heck, I still want to run the first raid on hard to get some of those cool weapons it gives.
 
I haven't touched $hit. Not really feeling the urge either.

You can only play the story once? That's odd. They shove the same content in front of you to get you to level, but the story DLC is a one time thing?
 
No match making for the raids is killing the urge to play for me. I just never know when I will have time to play so it's hard to set up a time with friends to do it.

Well was a good night for me. Got the cool looking exotic helmet with all the red eyes on it for my hunter from two manning the nigthtfall with my partner. We beat it the first attempt. Honestly did not find it very challenging. Got all of my other new Vanguard armor for legs arms and chest. Also rolled through the weekeky. Now all set for the raid.

I replayed missions, you can definitely do them more than once.

Well we both were using the arc damage fate bringer for the nightfall. That made things easy. Then arc damage snipers. I just did not find it no where near as hard as the summoning pits nightfall which I hate. I had 200 marks already so I bought 2 pieces of new armor before I did the weekeky and nightfall . So after that I had enough marks for the chest piece. And of course I got the exotic helmet from the nightfall so it all worked out.

Check again. You can only play the second mission more than once. The other two story missions are bounties and only given out once per character. This excludes the strike and raid.

I did the third mission again last night, it's 100% replayable.

Maybe I missed it. Is it on the moon or earth?
That is still one third of the single player content that is can't be replayed. I don't know what the hell is going on in Bungie but that is just another awful decision.

What do you mean? The only other places you can get new legendaries are from drops.

When Bungie said new legendarys across the board, I was expecting the factions to have new armor as well. So the phrase "across the board" isnt the actual truth.

I haven't checked the factions yet. So no new 33 light gear from any faction? That sucks. I did get a new Prudence sniper that's 331 atk max from the nightfall and is supposed to come from New Monarchy faction.
 
I wonder if they changed the drop rate for the expansion because I got 3 legendaries last night just from running strikes. That has never happened. I usually get maybe 1 a week.

I too have no noticed this. Finally got my hunter to level 31 and a quarter because of the exotic helmet. All four pieces required helium. Took over 300 helium to upgrade all 4 pieces. Let me tell you, that was so much fun acquiring all that helium. Now I get to look forward to that again with my warlock. Ugh!!!!

Why not just buy it from the Vanguard?

You only get 100 marks a week and i spent most of them on vanguard armor. A weapon alone cost 150 marks. Sure you can get lucky and get drops . but that's not a sure bet. And the new vanguard weapons take helium as well to upgrade. the new ones that is. Of course it just dawn on me I could use crucible marks for marks for that too.
 
Factions has the same weapons and armor but are upgraded. So you can get armor that goes to light 33 from them and the weapons damage goes up to 331. I got an upgraded rocket launcher for leveling up Dead Orbit rank.
 
Did anyone here complete the new raid? I noticed that Driedmangoes and Valliance got new raid armor.

Nice. How would you rate it when compared to VoG ?

It's definitely shorter but there are less breaks in between the stages. You really only need 1 level 31 to hold the sword at the end to do enough dmg quick enough to kill crota. This raid felt more intense though compared to VoG.
 
Some Crota's End pics and my new gear. :D

Would a 29 and 30 level team be able for it, do you think ?
