It did end well but you have to understand some people picked up Destiny for the story and the story at the start was seriously lacking. This caused an awful lot of people to just drift away.
I bought it for the story mode, i loved Halo campaign and was expecting Bungie to deliver (very few online friends before buying Destiny and the ones i did have only played COD) but stick around when we got regular Raid Groups going, only for those groups o probably would have drifted away as well before the improvement in TTK.
Still my most played game ever and I'm glad i stick it out.0 -

Technically a lot of the same people working on D1 are on D2 too.
Luke Smith is the guy that you are thinking of, he was the dude who spearheaded the VoG day 1.
He was told to begin working on TTK from Destinys Vanilla Launch (including Kings Fall Raid).
The Dark Below and House of Wolves Raid/PoE were handled by some other guys (see: Not Luke Smith) hence why Crotas End is considered by many (not me) to be a "weaker" raid than VoG or KF
(Sidenote: unnecessary scape goating if you ask me. I hated the artificial difficulty that CE provided when it came out, but liked how it was a different Raid and had a different feel, much like how WotM feels different to KF etc, variety is the spice of life)
Bungie is essentially still one large main dev team, with a smaller "Live Team" who have handled the Seasonal Events (SRL, Halloween, Dawning, Crimson Doubles, AoE) and Rise of Iron (in it's entirety?)
It's essentially "Where is Luke Smith now and how many Bungie Drone has he orbiting him helping him produce content?"Oh definitely. I know I didn't get the full experience from D1 playing almost solely solo (did do a good few strikes and stuff with randomers to moderate success). And I know the PvP is largely balanced in most regards so equipment and level doesn't really matter, but in terms of going back to the game after such a long break, I just felt I'd be crushed regardless by people who'd been playing it since release just on pure experience of the game.
I did join a Boards group here for a while but I think my interest started to go in the game just before the first raid came out. By that point, I'd kinda burned myself out on repeated grinding and got incredibly annoyed at the in-game economy system with different types of currency/marks to buy different things (though I understand this was later largely replaced by one currency) and constant repetitive bounties.
I just mostly hate using headsets in games and having to arrange to play at certain times etc. I'm a contrary f*ck like that
Jaysus, even if you did nothing else than log in and play the single player (and random match made 3 player Co-op content) you'd be doing yourself a serious diservice not picking up "Destiny: The Collection"
I've played a lot of different games, and played a lot of different DLCs.
Destiny Vanilla is about 1/3rd the Size of Destiny + DLCs
This isn't like Borderlands 2 where the DLC is lauded as "The best example of how to do DLC" (in a lot of ways cause Vanilla Destiny was so bare bones) and added ~100% (?) more content. This is more of the order of 200% more content.
And I'm not even really focusing on PvP at all there, or Raids.
This sounds like it's going to require a table.... hmmmm

Penn, I found some info on the amount of content and did a Table of my own
So I have left out all PvP maps completely (atm, I'll add them later),
If you look at just the top 5 rows (ignoring Raids and "Extra Stuff) you get the below.
Basically Vanilla Destiny had 31 pieces of (matchmade, no requirement to form a group for Raids et) Content, the game now has 85-90 pieces of content.
So my rough maths of a 200% increase checks out
Vanilla Free Extras Since Vanilla The Dark Below House of Wolves The Taken King Rise of Iron Total
Core Missions 20 1 3 5 19 5 53
Strikes 6 1 2 1 4 1 15
Social Spaces 1 - - 1 1 3
Patrol Areas 4 - - - 1 1 6
Prison Of Elders Room Types - - - 4 4 - 8
Raids 1 - 1 - 1 1 4
Extra Stuff - - - PoE added 1-3 New Subclasses, 2 Exotic Missions, 1-3 Subclass Missions 3 Exotic Missions 0
31 2 5 11 28 8 85

quantity doesn't make something better. lots of those missions are just 'go to a place and scan something, then protect the ghost from 3 waves of enemies'
also calling 'social spaces' content is a bit of a stretch, none of them do anything that couldn't have been done at the tower, if anything its just creating the illusion of quantity making you run around from vendor to vendor, before you know it you've half an hour wasted in getting set up for your nights actual gaming.0 -

I definitely don't doubt the amount of content added post-release, it's just that since D2 is coming now in a few months, I'll probably just wait for it instead and start afresh, free from the annoyances I felt with the game at the time and free to enjoy the PvP without feeling like I'll be so inexperienced compared to everyone else.
Well, depending on whether I get bored with other games too quickly and need something different to play, then I might give it a quick punt for a while.0 -

Well there's a medal available for ringing bells in the RoI social space. And the quest for climbing the mountain

Yesterday was a good day, Destiny 2 trailer for a trailer, a new series of TPB and a new QOTSA album finished...
Way better than your average Tuesday!
The CGI looks way better I have to say, Cayde looks slick....
Hopefully they will go a bit more down this road with regards to the story; I always felt the story from the first one was a bit lacking.0 -

I agree, hopefully it will be a bit more cohesive from the get go and we don't have to wait for TTK V2.0 to get a decent story that makes sense... 0 -
