So after my little hissy fit I threw after the new DLC came out I decided to come back to the game.
Now to be honest, I may have overreacted about the whole 'DLC ruining everything' because that isn't entirely true.
For starters, my old pre-DLC gear is still of some use to me but probably won't get me through those level 30 nightfalls and heroics obviously. The new gear old by vanguard and crucible quartermasters look kinda bad but I'm yet to buy any of them to try them out. Speaking of which, I leveled up my FWC rank right after I started playing and got a crucible commendation, it kinda sucks because now I've got to grind my way to 150 marks. It appears I can actually do some of the bounties Eris gives out so that probably means I can buy some of her stuff.
I'm still pretty pissed that they pretty much abandoned the old gear and completely jumped ships to new gear. My Shadow Price and TDYK is feeling sad.
All in all, I guess I'll keep playing the game in hopes of gaining some form of entertainment from it. May even buy the DLC if it's worth it.
