Had a quick bash because i like the fps mcanics but not the exploitation, So who are the new black smokey canon fodder?
BTW I can see it's better than it was but like i said the exploitation narks me, I dont know how you guys can rest easy at all your year 1 equipment that you put hours/days/months into being made redundent,I guess technically the upgrade gives you a new game so that was then and this is now.

Jut to be clear if you don’t upgrade this is what you’re left with
Max level 34 – yep we all know that.
Locked - All Daily Heroic Missions / Strikes / and Nightfall (now need to be above level 34)
The Dark below & House of Wolves (paid for extensions) Bounties are no longer available! – This really sucks this was paid for content.
Strikes & Raid Activities are only available via the Destinations using the Director – No idea what that means.
Only Crucible Classic 3v3, Classic 6v6 and Classic Free-For-All available. - But what’s the point you’ll be up against Level 40’s
Only Year 1 versions of Exotic Weapons & Armor available. - well that figures.
Tower Vendors will no longer sell Year 1 Legendary items. - No point there now useless.
Legendary Marks will not be available to be earned.

If you google 'class action against Activision for TTK rip-off', the top result points to a thread on the Bungie forums... but try the link, and the thread has been removed!
Closing off paid-for content to anyone who hasn't upgraded is inexcusable. Whether or not you've bought TTK, that's something that Bungievision should not be allowed to get away with. If you've upgraded however it's almost certain that you couldn't give a toss. If there is a class action in progress it's difficult to see how it couldn't win. I paid for a game plus two expansions, I should still have access to everything I paid for.

Thing is I really enjoyed going back and polishing of my story missions and having the satisfaction of levelling it felt like proper progression, and the new class related bounties and mission tracking system in a nice touch, and yes it hurt to drop purples and legendary for greens but it was nice to get engrams and drops that were useful.
But I’m about to hit 34 with nowhere to go and no reason to play, so apart from getting all guardians up to 34 by rinse & repeat story missions as you only get a pitiful 5 bounties a day. (I’m not even sure the difficulty can still be changed on story missions) that’s all there is to do.
I’m just not convinced TTK is worth the £40 for the digital upgrade after I payed £80 a year ago for something that’s now redundant, I’m not too happy to be adding more cash to Bungies pockets.

I paid for a game plus two expansions, I should still have access to everything I paid for. Having bought it, I fully agree that it sucks that you are almost locked out of your game if you don't upgrade. I bought House of Wolves but didn't start playing it until after TTK came out, so that means I paid for something that I may not be able to access fully. I fully accept that servers get turned off for games a few years later. Halo 2 servers were turned off in 2010, but you had 6 years for that game. They are basically making you upgrade every year or you lose the lot. Also, since I didn't play for 6 months there is very little I can do to upgrade some of the characters (Eris for example) as their bounties no longer exist. You can do some things, but it will take years to upgrade now.

So Eris bounties are still unavailable after the upgrade? Now that’s takinking the P!ss.
So I’ve even less incentive to upgrade now. I’ll wait for a hefty price drop.

So Eris bounties are still there but I need to pay another £40 to get to content I've already paid for?

You can access all of the old house of wolves / Eris stuff from the quest iPod thingy near the vanguard dudes

Well that makes more sense. In fact I knew that, and was waiting to see how long it was before Retro found out. We should have a cheapskates night out, Chris. We could do a rift or two in Diablo 3 aswell - that game that gives you loads of extra content for nowt!

I didn't know about the ipod thingy until I loaded up my warlock last night, for some reason My Titan was already carrying the mission logs.
Yes Diablo the game that keeps on giving, though I need to spend a little time to decipher what’s new as it looks much the same to me, as I still haven’t a clue what’s going on if it moves… kill it.

A lot of content to get through with each of them.
