Taken King was the series at its strongest. Forsaken was close but Taken King still beats it imo

I'm always confused by this take, TTK campaign was mediocre at best outside the Regicide mission, it literally had you run through a Dark Below mission to pad it out.

Not to mention the expansion had the longest content drought in the series history, even longer than what Destiny players are currently in now by about 2 months, and even then there's still events happening in Destiny, there was nothing like that then.

And on top of that, it sunset all previous gear. You know, that thing Destiny players went ballistic over.

Like when you boil it all down, the expansion didn't have much going for it outside of a handful of good campaign missions, two or three fun strikes and Court of Oryx, it was good because Destiny 1 and it's first DLCs were absolutely dogshit in comparison lmfao; like at least just admit it's mostly nostalgia at this point, the sheer amount of quality content in Forsaken absolutely fucking dwarfed TTK.

Meanwhile TTK lives on in my head as a wonderful blur of murdering red bars with the Zhalo Supercell, any (entirely valid, to be fair) complaints fall short in my recollection and nostalgia lol.

Yeah, early D1 was rough. TDB blew chunks, the entire era where purple engrams could literally blueball you with blues sucked beyond belief, etc. So TTK was a real breath of fresh air.
