After playing destiny a bit after the April update and seeing what's coming down the pike it looks like Bungie may have FINALLY made the game everyone expected with ROI.

I was tempted not to jump on board due to Destiny 2 being on the horizon but from what I hear our characters on D1 are going to be transferable to D2.

Light levels to 400.
The raid will be more like VOG
They are bringing back year 1 strikes
Gear will be customizable
There will be different artificacts that can be equipped to counteract different actions
Bungie is actually looking into add match making for raids (not exactly in ROI but whatever)
Strikes will grant keys that can be used for specialized loot (like Borderlands)
On and on it goes.

Basically, we finally have the ability to be different and max level (even over level) our characters in different ways without being dependent on the raid.

After about a five month hiatus I came back like two weeks ago. Pretty much have played it every day.

Having a blast again, even with the same content.

Did we say that with taken King? Taken King is great but we just ran out of things to do.

As someone who has never played destiny, is it still worth picking up?

Is the old content obsolete compared to the DLC? Hoping for a no here. Much prefer when old content is preserved and doable like in ARPG's.

Yes!

I'm still kinda new to Destiny and haven't run any of the raids, but my gamertag is The Jcorey and I am definitely interested in Rise of Iron.

I'm up to a 318 light level, PoE grinding gets old as shite ha.

I took off after I cleared King's Fall and picked it back up about a month or two ago. Really enjoying it, some of the changes were really solid.

Whelp, the raid just got a big change with blessings no longer working with ToM.

Also a HUGE change to flinching to snipers who are ADS'ing in an encounter.

Only thing I don't agree with is that 1KYS, LDR and Longbow will no longer one shot someone who is in their super if their armor is high enough. Only Black Spindle has that power

Pretty big balance changes.

ETA: Balance changes
