Destiny The Taken King Infosplosion: Level 40 & New Quest Systems!

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 ก.พ. 2025
- Game Informer dropped a Taken King BOMB recently with their latest issue which contained the biggest info drop we've seen for Taken King. There's a LOT of stuff to go over: new level cap, new Light Level system, streamlining of content, quality of life changes, exotics, new ghost voice and way more.
And I'm (not) sorry about the thumbnail.
I'm sure there were a few things that I missed, but I kinda wanna sleep because it's 5am. I'm sure anything I missed we'll chat about in my streams, which I hope to do more of in August. This video was more about covering the big details as opposed to going in depth with any sort of trailer analyses. Those MAY come later if there is enough to dig into.

I'll be so much happier when Destiny 2 kicks off, and they announce "fuck all ya'll 360 and PS3 players. Your shit holds us back. Sorry."
Iol some of us don't have money to burn. Stop bitching about old gen because you were there once too dumbass.
Old gen holds back destiny so much like the game would probably feel completely different if they didn't have to cater to old gen
ll Hope ll New stuff has been out a couple years now. Lots of time to save up. You're kidding yourself if you don't realize that the 360 and PS3 are holding back games and within a year, no one will be making games for them for that very reason.
XxWhIpLaSh18xX As a 360 player, I'd honestly be OK with that as long as Bungie develops Destiny 2 for PC and current-gen only. PC has no limits, and old-gen is holding the series back, especially with vault space.
Being a 360 Player I'm perfectly fine with that, don't treat everyone like Beta Playtesters for an entire year and it could be smooth sailing, hopefully.
GIANT SHANK STRIKE BOSS
sold
Sidorio the last rebellion will finally be useful
Livid Coffee Im glad i kept my solar Six Dreg Pride with shank burn.
Sidorio You guys do realize, Bungie already confirmed that the Shank Burn weapons will not work on the big boss.... right?
really? Damnit
Crazyndalazdayz666 Don't burst my bubble
Wait wait wait wait..... Did I just see you switch your controls to inverted willingly?
chris01151 :)
DattoDoesDestiny BURN THE WITCH
***** I can't believe there is another one of you.
chris01151 Inverted control master race.
chris01151 Looks like I have to nuke this comment and its replies
I feel like we all got punked into doing a year long beta test......
That's because we did :p
FriendlyBlueDot Dot Imagine if you where told that you where going on a vacation, but instead you get trapped on an island for a year. Then when you get home you find that your girlfriend started doing squats/not eating like a pig and is now 10/10, oh, and you still get that vacation you where promised originally, except it was better than what was promised.
Michael Tsagaris analogy of the year 10/10 ign
If staying on an island (an ok island)for a year to get all the good shit then fuck yeah i am excited
FriendlyBlueDot Dot Welcome to EA.
Also, North voiced Edward Richtofen.
And deadpool
And pretty much everyone
Thats all I care about
Nate Witecki He voiced my mum.
Jacob Kern NAZI ZOMBIES IN DESTINY CONFIRMED!!!
Hi, I just wanted to say that this was a particularly good video and I rarely enjoy sitting through 20 minutes of content but you managed to make it enlightening and enjoyable. Good job.
Sucks we all got treated like beta players for a year, and someone coming in now will get a much better experience than we did. All of these changes will be fantastic.
Av3rage_Gamer We may have beta tested destiny for a year, but in the end it work for a better future for the franchise, i mean, someone had to do it. And we enjoyed the time that we had playing, that means we will enjoy it even more now that its not in beta
Jeremy bottomtooth The 3rd. It just feels like I didn't get the full experience tbh.
Matthew Gallagher Not sure if I agree with that, with all the changes, someone could probably get to level 40 in less than a month.
Av3rage_Gamer At least we got to be part of (what I consider) an awesome community of dedicated players who loved the game and helped Bungie make it a lot better. We've watched this game grow and now that we've seen a lot of our hopes for this game come to fruition, and we can be proud to say we were part of that. If people didn't stick through with Destiny through it's thick and thin, the game would not have improved as much as it did.
People can believe whatever they want to believe but I think it was a great thing being a Year 1 Destiny player. Newer players experience will be a lot better thanks to the effort we all (including Bungie) put in for the game to reach it's potential.
I mean like they said there was no rule book for destiny it's a completely new game and they had to test and find out what works somehow
Amazingly informative!
Lots of info all in one video.
This got me crazy excited for TTK, as I was really "meh" about it before.
Keep up the awesome content!
Get your shank burn weapons from poe before TTK launches. Kappa
They might not work though because remeber all the old weapons are gonna be shit
James Basco Only if Strikes are level +37. The guns still have 365 attack.
Yeah our 365 Shank Burners won't do anything to an end game TTK Strike boss
But like he said they'll be irrelevant
James Basco People still used fatebringer in crotas end even though it was a lower attack ratting. Thats what will happen here. You will still be able to use your old weapons in most of the taken king content. You just replace them with more powerful stuff as the game goes on
Great video, Datto. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Cheers!
If exotics don't carry over I will be done
I'm with you on that
WhalePartyBoat They will carry.
RockCh4lk Exotics are* going to remain upgradeable.
Grant McCoy Good, don't know what I would do without my Saint-14!
RockCh4lk If they don't allow VoG, CE, IB, and ToO weapons to carry over I'm done. They are better than exotics anyway. With the nerf to Gjallarhorn and Ice Breaker there won't be a single exotic worth using in PvE. They are screwing up the game for the last time.
Desmond miles was one of my favorite characters! Having his voice by my side is going to be amazing :D
I'm betting someone out there is going to make a rip Fatebringer video some time soon with the song "see you again"
+Briar Robbin your mom
Jake Hawkins YES I want an obituary of all legendary weapons
I have no idea how good it is becase I still don't have it even though I do templar every week with 3 level 34s :\
Look up "rip fatebringer" XD someone made it
Headlines
I watched it. I cried. It's just too soon, you know? This can't be happening. Not now...
This sounds actually amazing, with the revamps to the leveling and gear us solo'ers may actually be able to reach the max levels on both out character and gear without being forced to team up (or just not getting there at all since some us dont have any damn people to play with)
I'm debating deleting a character and starting it from scratch once TTK is released. Sure, I'd lose that progress, but I'd get to experience Destiny (I hope) as if should have been all along; a cohesive and epic experience. Not only will the ordering of the missions be different and quests more present, I'll also be hearing all of the dialogue for Nolantron for the fist time. That would be as close as I could possibly get to recreating the wonder of playing a game for the first time. The wonder that new destiny players will very fortunately be getting when purchasing the New TTK edition. I feel that although Bungie has failed in the past, and so h'what in the present, they are gradually learning from their mistakes. There is no guarantee they won't disappoint again, but I can't see us going anywhere but up
RIP DInklebot, it was a honour to work with you
If they're gonna make it where we can't use the fatebringer or black hammer etc. then they better have something that's on par with the performance of those weapons.
Hopefully not. Unless they're exotic I don't want any more weapons like those ever again.
I don't want everyone to look the same all over again.
Someone here doesnt have a fatebringer *cof sunbreaker cof*
nAsTeGaming dont worry they wont. its bungie were talking about here. they have no clue what they are doing anymore
***** sup :)
CSquared092 Activision are the people who don't know what they're doing.
Excellent thumbnail. Glad to see I wasn't the only one who noticed this expression from Luke Smith.
So basically we paid for a $100 beta
You are correct!
I payed for a $95 beta. Kappa.
TheNerdFormer same
TheNerdFormer i paid 80 pounds
I paid 75 pounds.
I like what you said about taking a break. I picked up Destiny for the first time in about 6 months last week and I really enjoyed myself. It's fun for me again and I am really excited for TTK because i'll have even more to do.
I might be ill on September 15th.. for the week.. and maybe the next..
Thanks Datto. I've been busy at work and this has helped get me right up to date on the news from Gamescon. Excellent job, sir!
i just did one of the story missions when we first meet the vex. and the stranger came in. we asked her who is she and she said idon't have time to explain why i don't have time to explain. one of the new exotics is named not time to explain which is an exotic version of the strangers rifle. tell me if im wrong but i think its all connected.
Illuminati
omri maor have you played halo? at all? bungie is known for that kind of shit like treyarch is known for their super in depth zombies
That was the joke you dip
Of course its connected. Its like a little easter egg.
thanks again datto whenever you explain things it always makes me feel MUCH better
Im going to put my two cents in here as a day zero player. I am salty. Yes, I admit it, I am highly salty about the gear and weapons reroute. Everything else sounds absolutely amazing. I am astonished at the content being added and the way missions and quest are being revamped as such. Still, I have well over 400+ hours logged onto Destiny throughout all three characters. I have done everything in the game except Trials and only have 65% of all the exotic items in the game, and maybe 30% of ANYTHING actually good. If you are serious that EVERYTHING is taking the back seat, please, my only plea is please up the RNG somehow. Seriously.
Kong Beats ...and I have 1200+ hours and I'm happy with it. Your point?
shades344
You don't get it. I'm saying RNG is too random with it's drops and needs to be tweaked. Anyone with 500+ hours shouldn't be lacking equipment wise like I have compared to some 30's or 31's with Gally's, Vex, and Hawkmoons/Thorns/TLW's. That's my point.
\maybe next time hit the "Show more" button and read my entire comment before being sassy?
Kong Beats you have a point, but then again, we do need to move forward. Also, I have more hours than you and still don't have a Gally. In the article bungie said that the RNG will look at what you have, etc when determine the drop. This is good.
Kong Beats Well they are fixing RNG in a way. You will have less chance of getting weapons that you already have and more emphasis on what you don't have.
Im fucking salty that they waited 1 year and 140 dollars after launch to put the content that *should have been in the vanilla game* into the actual game. Let's be honest, Destiny's launch was horrible. Every progression went at snails pace, legendary gear was impossible to acquire, exotic fusion rifles were your only option if you wanted to win, glitches out the fucking ass, and no competent story telling whatsoever. Neither bungie nor activision has any right to charge any money for this expansion. They basically sold us a car with no engine, then they sold us a spoiler and a stereo, and NOW they're selling us the engine.
Considering the continuously broken state of the game, as well as the blatant disrespect for year 1 players, im pretty fucking salty. Im so salty that my tears of pure salt could kill a snail.
I love how you explain things, you are very analytical and very accurate when you do this kind of infovids. Before watching it I was so fucking confused about how TTK was going to work, I saw a bunch of videos of other youtubers and they all confused me as hell, now I have a better understanding of how TTK is going to be.
Thanks for the video it was really informative and cleared lots of doubts I had regarding TTK.
GJ
Why do people keep bringing up Nathan Drake and Desmond? Yeah those are big games but really those aren't the most interesting characters voice wise. I mean he's done so much more impressive and interesting choice work including:
Space core (portal 2)
Adventure core (portal 2)
Fact core (portal 2)
Defective turrets (portal 2)
Merasmus (TF2)
Bombinomicon (TF2)
Dr n. Gin (Crash Bandicoot)
I mean imagine if your ghost did space core lines during the loading screens?
*goes to orbit* "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I'M IN SPAAAAAACE!!!"
Because those are his most well known performances
Calum Gambrill but the other ones are funnier.
Sunbreaker Holy crap, if there isn't a SPAAAACCCCCEEEE reference within Nolan's voice acting I'm going to be so disappointed.
Calum Gambrill wow that fucking sucks for him. Look up any of the characters I've mentioned, they're all wacky, hilarious, interesting, and perfectly done. Then look at Nathan Drake.
It's just such a shame that after so many memorable fun characters his most well known work are BOTH generic male protagonists.
Also Dr Richtofen in CoD Zombies
6:14 wow that guy got BLASTED with that hammer. Awesome video, Datto 👍
I was skeptical of the new levelling system and somewhat confused! But now you have simplified all this information, I'll admit, I'm sold XD
man, i'm hoping Destiny 2 is current gen. only.
Peasant get a life so you can waste that Life on Ps4/Xbone
Jaylan Vergara PS4 and XBOX1 is current gen now...
He means next gen. People should start calling nex gen current gen because these consoles have been out for 2 years.
Nicholas Djokic I've been doing that and also when you think about it when it came out it kind of should've been called current gen there because it's out now it was the console of now
Fuck dat...
Datto that has to be the best thumbnail you have ever made.
Hey look! I don't see any comments about this expansion being garbage and Bungie is stealing our money!
TotalFails Oh wait.. now I see them
TotalFails lol. Really I feel like we are getting The Destiny we payed for
Very nice video. You just gave me a lot of information. I´m so hyped for the taken king! Keep the really good work up man!
Thanks Datto. Youre by far the best informational Destiny TH-camr out there
There´s going to be so much new stuff to do when The Taken King comes that i don´t even know what to begin with ;_;
I love you datto. Thank you for these vids that so clearly describe everything. A lot of people do information right but you do information perfect. Thank you for all you do to explain destiny to its details. I really appreciate it. Great vid and keep up the good work.
this has got to be the best ttk video out there right now. datto you did a great job the video was very organised and informative. thanks
Always appreciate your views and ideas Detto! I for one am really excited for the TKK :D
Datto is the only youtuber that isn't blindly hyped thank god for someone like that
We all love Gondo. He has some great thoughts on the changes. He was telling me how he dismantles everything yesterday. He's nuts lol.
I think you're spot on with everyone being sent back to lvl 20. It makes sense because that lvl 20 on the inventory screen never went away and they're nixing the light system. Also, all taken king footage ive seen has everyone at lvl 20.
It's awesome to hear they are adding more story driven quests with cut scenes, but only if those cut scenes are skippable the second time through. Can you image the daily heroics if all missions have long, unskippable cut scenes?....
Just got home from seeing Dragonball Z Resurrection F, this video is icing on the cake for how awesome today has been. You didn't disappoint Datto, well done on the video!
Nice and clean summary of the info so far. Thanks for the presentation.
Great video as always, even if you're pronunciation of subsequent left me scratching my head.
Well scripted and a pleasure to listen to your thoughts.
Happy to hold my hand up and be counted as one of the twenty. I enjoy Destiny. I have fun. Now bring on year 2!
I just have to say that this vid was very well put together and informative you did fantastic
I'm so hyped. Thanks for making this Datto. I can't wait for your next stream. I need to resub ;)
*sees datto's video, smiles and feels exited*
Datto can you make a video with a guide that has what you think everyone should have done in Destiny before the TK?
THANK TOU DATTO!!!!! I watched prodigy and he had me worried about taken king being bad. But then I watched your video and thought man, taken king actually sounds fun. So yeah I am gonna take a break once I finally do trials and skolas and get gjallerhorn ;)
I read the article yesterday but I just like listening to your voice Datto :)
Once again,you provide an objective perspective on what's to come in Destiny. I too approach with cautious optimism. I want the game to be better, and I know there are steps needed to be made to do so that may not sit well with most...myself included. But of what I've absorbed info-wise in the last 3 days, I'm liking the direction the game is headed. All I need is visual confirmation on things...namely the exacts about 2.0.0.
Great video datto! A must-watch for everyone that follows destiny in this days, because you basically explain everything, because there's a lot of info on a lot of diferent sources :) ...but NO, THAT'S NOT OK, SOME OF US HAVE BEEN +1000 HOURS IN THIS GAME TO SEE HOW ALL OF OUR GEAR GO TO OBLIVION...
Hey man! Really appreciate the info and the honest approach to providing it. I stopped playing right after House of Wolves dropped because it was more of the same. This sounds very different and I can't wait to give it a try. Subscribing for sure.
DattoDoesDestiny I was very suprized when I saw this video I can tell you put alot of hard work in this. I hope you keep up the good work.
Thank you Datto for telling everyone that's it's going to be ok.
You brought the information very well, I finally understand it now.
OMG !! I DIDNT KNOW WHO NOLAN NORH WAS but now when u told IM HYPED I love that voice from the past and now it coming back and if old legendarys are not that useful as it use to be i clad about thst too so we can grind and im fine with that
AWESOME video Datto :)
I can't be more excited for TTK. Thanks for the info Datto.
great video datto! your infosplosions are always helpful :)
You can see Hakke weapons boxes if you go to the area where you get on top of the vault in the tower
The Warlock killing Vex on Mars isn't all that puzzling. They had a buff called "Boundless Light" which is probably the buff you mentioned when talking about the Titan quest that lets your super charge really fast. Also, in the E3 trailer where they showed all three new subclasses they showed the Guardians obtaining the power on various planets (Warlock was on Mars). The clip at 14:50 is probably just a part of the quest to unlock Stormcaller if I had to guess.
Love the way you put up this video. You won my subscription
Thank you Datto I am so excited for this next installment, hope I have the money to pre-order soon!!
Thanks for the informative video Datto!
I need to finish Witcher 3 before TTK comes out... but I'm just soo excited about it now, that video late last night almost made it so I couldn't fall asleep haha.
I have been over seas for the Year 1 of density, I just preordered the taken king edition with all the content etc. I think it will be great to jump in after a year to see what the game should of been like a year ago. I am really excited to go back and play with my friends and catch up on the year I lost. i think jumping in after a year with no exposer to the game will give me a different view on the game I am super excited to get back and get my teeth into destiny.
I keep rewatching this video out of pure excitement lol.
Extremely excited for TTK. Great video Datto.
I got a budlight party commercial when he mentioned a new area to explore in a mission xD
I mentioned this on my speak pipe to you guys when you were doing guardian radio. Unfortunately idk if you even heard it. Honestly with older year 1 exotics like say, hawkmoon, invective, thunderlord, plan C, bad juju, (if exotic gear counts too) third man, saint 14, arma, praxis fire, and a slew of other armors, now we can't have those effects in year 2 of destiny. Which is the point of exotic gear is to have an 'exotic' effect or perk that essentially breaks a rule. And I borrow the rule break from reading something that was quoted off of planet destiny in an interview with game designers talking about the sleeper heavy. So basically next year I can no longer: sling tons of grenades during radiance, blind people in my bubble, get fast revives from alpha lupi and its' warlock equivalent, heal myself on kills with primary, kill hordes of enemies without reloading once and get my super super quick from it, double grenades for Titan, regen ammo and be suuuuuuper bursty, regen ammo passively like a battery, random eXXXtra damage, heal on melee hit every 3 secs and get more armor, and what, a shit to of other good things that will only be accessible during crucible?! Sometimes you NEED or just rely on those items. So just taking them away personally would be a bad call. Also it's a big 'fuck you' to anyone who spent a lot of time trying to get the weapon(s). Ie me trying to get hawkmoon. I didn't get it until June. Frikkin' June! And I still don't have gjallhorn. Also datto if you took the time to read this thank you and so goes for anyone else
Thanks for the video Datto!! Good and clear info!
Two things I hope they add to destiny in the future is character customization(change race whenever you want,etc) and a system in the cruicible in were if you join late in a losing game, the match won't count as a loss
I really want to see some Crucible gameplay with all of the classes available - just to get an idea of how the new subclasses will mesh with the pre-existing ones.
Awesome video Datto very well done
Well done sir! I love the, " You will be OK!" mantra. I know my clan is going to lose their collective shits but change is good. Thanks again for another great video.
great video bro, excellent break down as always.
Awesome vid as always datto got me so pumped for taken king😀
This expansion alone sounds to be making destiny a whole new game. I'm very excited.
This was really good! Thank you for the info
Datto, If you went to E3 and played TTK crucible and brought your cursor over your gear in the menu, you probably noticed what looks like light lvl 34 on your equipment. I think this means you will have to be a certain level to equip TTK gear in the full dlc.
Thorough as always. Thanks Datto.
Great information kind sir. You earned a loyal sub!
first off, HANK THE SHANK CONFIRMED!!!
now that that is out of the way, it makes me very sad that i will have to leave behind my beloved A.1F19X-RYL scout rifle, but there will be other scout rifles, and i might be able to build a new A.1 with the new scout rifles. my A.1 is still never leaving my inventory, i used that thing in every expansion so far, even when it was still 300 attack, it was also the first weapon i etheric lighted. thank you datto for bringing this news, it all looks so awesome.
Here is my question. What should any of us do with legendary engrams we may be stockpiling? What about exotic engrams?
On a side note, I am glad that something I suggested matched up with what they are doing (shaders and all that). I can't remember from your video, but i am hoping they do the same thing with ships and sparrows to get rid of the clutter.
I share your cautious optimism and hope it all comes together well.
When you said that one of the strike bosses was going to be a giant shank, the only thing that crossed my mind was how many bullets I'd have to put into its shields before using three more to acutally kill it.
Also, the Suros Arsenal Pre Order bonus was teased earlier today on Destiny's channel, if anybody is interested.
Taken King gets better and better the more I hear about it
The Sleeper Stimulant is essentially Hard Light with the look of Pocket Infinity and the Warmind sign.
As for Vault Space:
If the problem is last gen rather than server capacity, it should be possible to introduce independent vaults that store a seperate set of items.
For example: You have a vault in the Tower and one in the Reef. Both have a seperate space and and you can choose in which vault you want to put what.
This would get around a technical limitation (showing all the vault inventory at once) as it would be the same as it is now, just that you have to places to park your stuff.
It could end up getting annoying if you want to switch stuff between the two (as travelling between the social spaces would be pretty much a necessity) but hey, better than nothing, right?
Wow! That all does sound great. Let me go over it again.
I'm quite skeptical on purchasing TTK. Datto, I'd like to hear you review it soon after it releases so that I can determine whether or not it'll be worth it. This info sounds promising, but I'm still too cautious right now.
Since Trials of Osiris is getting its own bounties, I have a pretty good feeling that the bounty for The Fate of All Fools will be there as well. It would make a lot of sense.
Only to get that right:
if i have the luck to get a crux of crota from which i can get my necrochasm - i can upgrade this weapon for TTK-levels later on?
North was deadpool in the deadpool game. He was amazing so I am looking forward to this
So were getting more info on Praedyth, I'm wondering if were gonna get info on some other characters like Radegast or even the Exo Stranger.
i need to add this also, i assume the starting level will be 20 maxed at 40 because if you remember previously people talked about light level reaching 100+ in the taken king which was in a leak or something, but it was beyond 100. now what i think is light level will exist, but will not count for much, you can call it the prestige of CoD if you like, but i'm assuming that would be the case.
"Right now the pressure is on Bugie..." ... and Lord knows they have choked before. Everything coming in TTK sounds awesome, fingers crossed they don't f it up!
great video bud! very informative
FYI, Deej said in the IGN interview from gamescon that your starting level in TTK will be the highest level you've previously reached
Definitely turning in all my special synths from ether Chest farming for rep.
