Many Destiny players who have been mowing down evil alien hordes for God-knows-how-many hours kicked up a bit of commotion when it was revealed that The Taken King, the game's upcoming expansion, would be bringing numerous changes to the release when it launches next month. Of course, it's the not seemingly positive alterations that veteran players are annoyed about - it's largely the fact that most of their equipment that they've spent so long collecting is going to become a tad redundant.
Bungie hasn't forgotten all of you seasoned Guardians, though, as it's going to provide anyone who's either reached level 30 or has purchased the first two expansions with a slew of exclusive goodies when they purchase The Taken King. You'll receive an armour shader, a sparrow, a Ghost shell, and an emblem for your year one troubles.
However, it's worth noting that you'll need to have fulfilled one of the two aforementioned requirements by the 31st August in order to nab your bonus bits and pieces.

I'm looking forward to chasing new gear and weapons. That's why I play Destiny. I love collecting them. I'm as powerful as I can be at the moment, but soon I will have more reason to play the game. I love it!
@Neolit so you won't be buying it then...
I fill all of the criteria - apart from I'm gonna wait until ⛄ 🎅 🎄 ❄ 🎁
Is it going to have new trophies? You Destiny types like leveling up I like trophies. Neither of the two DLC's added any further trophies so will the Taken King follow suit?
@dnky666, according to an interview at E3 with Luke Smith there will be new trophies. The question I have for bungie is if youre a new player, how would you platinum the "vanilla" destiny with the new change to vanguard/crucible marks? There was a trophy for maxing out those marks in one week, so if they're both gone maybe it will change the trophies to gaining legendary marks on each type of activity.
I like how a person can be considered veteran/year-one players if he/she bought the game this month and got their character(s) to level 30 before the 31st August. Way to reward the real veteran players, Bungie.
@Neolit @Neolit ha ha harsh but I won't pay 40 for an exspanion so I'll be waiting a while new shader and speeder how should I say I can exist without them
@Neolit Well that's good for you i hope it doesn't hurt to much.
For all your hard work, have some useless items like every single other year one player ever.
Im good, Id rather put 40 notes towards the far FAR superior Fallout.
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya - Oooohhhhh! Please tell me how Fallout 4 was! I missed it but I want to hear your review so I can see how it is superior to Destiny! Thanks.
Oy. What would a Destiny article be without haters and price moaners? It never ceases to amaze me how people who hate this game spend so much time perusing articles written about it. Fascinating.
In any event, I'm excited for TTK. I think it's a step in the right direction. Tons of new content. The VIP thing that everyone can get? Yeah - it's fine. I don't need something to mark me as a special snow flake. As for the Gjallarhorn, I'm happy the game is forcing us in to all new weapons and armor. Who doesn't want new and shiny, especially in a loot game?
@NorrinRadd Woops forgot.
Gameplay footage, interviews and previews cant be used to judge whether something is worth buying, my bad.
Oh no! First time Ive commented on a Destiny article, serial persuer of hatred right here.
I always forget its not okay to have a negative opinion about any game ever!
Y'all seem to be missing the point somewhat.
Back in black brah.
Back in black. Now that is a proper shader.
@dnky666 @dnky666 I hope so. I'm close to finishing up my Destiny trophies since I started again on PS4, but it would be nice to have more challenges to occupy my time besides getting gear and what not.
There are a couple of awesome games coming out around the time Destiny is coming out. My money will go to Mad Max, Metal Gear, Fallout and Battlefront (I think there was more) and not to Destiny.
Who the hell would buy Destiny before buying all the other great games?
