Actually, I left that post open at the end to go into "wait-and-see mode," and... My opinion has been changed and faith restored because of what Bungie has said and done since I wrote that. HoW fixed nearly every complaint we had in the mechanics and quality-of-life departments. While it wasn't overwhelming in content, you can see by looking at the release timeline up until now that there wasn't a lot of time to do enough to make groundbreaking additions. The initial release phase has now worn off (after launch plus the two announced DLC's) and Bungie has had time to take some big steps. HoW was a big step forward and set the stage mechanically. Now, based on what I've seen/learned, I believe The Taken King will take massive leaps forward. It will hardly be the same game, in the best way possible. I may not play much until it releases, similar to where I was before HoW when I first wrote that, but big things are coming in September - this is where Destiny starts to take the shape we all were hoping for when it was revealed. TTK will be a monster improvement, and quite simply, a game-changer.
