Destiny’s Taken King Achievements are uninspired

Two other ones updated, also

Destiny‘s The Taken King expansion has seen its share of excitement since its reveal. And, by “excitement,” we mostly mean scorn. The one-year add-on has had people upset about its price, it has had people upset about a raid that won’t be included at launch, and it has people upset because it’s when the beloved Gjallarhorn is getting nerfed.

For everyone looking past all that, The Taken King has a bunch of new quests, and each one will likely net you a new Achievement or Trophy for completing. There are ten new Achievements (250 Gamerscore), and getting through the quests and raids is how you pick them all up. Nothing interesting or inventive, or anything that challenges you to play in a different style.

All that Gamerscore won’t all be available at launch, though. Two of the Achievements are dedicated to clearing the King’s Fall Raid (which will be added after three day’s time) and again on heroic.

In addition to the new Achievements, two of them from the base game have been updated. “Notorious” and “Valorous” now read “Earn Crucible rank 1” and “Earn Vanguard rank 1,” respectively. Prior to this, they were obtained for earning the maximum weekly Crucible and Vanguard scores.
