It’s about going to cool places and doing fun things.
That, plus some light-hearted banter between your handlers Petra Venj and Variks, set the tone for the rest of the story here. You take it into battle against a Fallen Walker and, as you’d expect, tear it to shreds with explosive shots and bouncing mines. You begin with a new vehicle, a Heavy Pike, five feet away. It’s obvious from the first story mission that Bungie is starting to hit their stride. House of Wolves’ story content is legitimately fun and interesting It’s a better system for everyone.īut what’s a better system when so many of Destiny’s missions are kind of a drag? Well, I’m glad you asked.
It may be easier to get to level 34 now, but those players with three level 32 Guardians and a stockpile of gear and materials will have an easier time acquiring Etheric Light and ascending a larger stash of gear. What’s exciting about all this streamlining is that it doesn’t step on the efforts of all the players who have dedicated hundreds of hours to the game. Perhaps more importantly, those that fell off the boat have a streamlined system to return to, with an easier path to the level cap than ever before. The bottom line is this: with some effort, Destiny fans can finally make their Guardian look how they want, using the weapons they love, without locking themselves out of the endgame. In fact, within a few minutes of starting House of Wolves, I was running around with a max-level Gjallarhorn and exotic Warlock helmet, a quarter of the way from level 32 to level 34, the new cap. Now, fully-leveled exotics can be ascended to the highest level with an Exotic Shard and a handful of general upgrade materials, with no extra legwork required. Bungie soured a lot of players who raided the Vault of Glass week after week when that gear became obsolete, and now there’s a system in place to bring it all back, better than ever.īungie was even stingier when they asked players to ascend and re-level all of their favorite exotic gear using Exotic Shards. The big step forward is Etheric Light, a new material that instantly ascends a piece of gear or weapon, bringing it in line with the new gear. Instead, they chose to do something much smarter, giving regular players and lapsed fans alike good reason to come back.ĭestiny is a more generous game than ever before They could have easily added another raid, with another tier of exclusionary high-level gear. With Destiny’s latest expansion, House of Wolves, Bungie has crafted a bridge between now and this Fall, when the big “Comet” expansion is expected to arrive.
