So a relatively learned member of the forums here suggested that a previous thread had become rather exponentially challenged, and as such a Poll would better service the topic. As a non DLC holder, I was surprised to see that the DLC was in place of my usual Nightfall and Heroic Weekly slot on Tuesday. I found this, along with many other people, to be unacceptable given there was no warning. In short: 1. DLC Should never have taken the place of base game content 2. We propose a 2 option system for DLC owners, and no change made for non DLC owners. The 2 option system consists of: Part 1: For Nightfalls and Weeklies, DLC guys get a choice whether to do the DLC version or the Base Game. They can only do one per character, once a week, just like it is now. They cannot double dip. Example is: Week X = DLC Strike or Sepiks - Choose one. If you want some lore/narrative explanation? You can only expose to the darkness once a week for NF. Only peeps with DLC can join friends. That's fair, right? Part 2: For non DLC guys, we could care less because the game looks exactly the same to us from a UI standpoint. Almost as if the DLC never existed. All apart from a little icon in the bottom left of the Destination select that says "Store". That little choice button that indicates you can purchase DLC from there. That's it, in it's simplest form. Poll away. The poll is constructed to gauge a good amount of response.

  • Nobody would run the new nightfall if the old was available because the new strikes much more difficult, and as we've seen from this player base who cheeses whenever they can, it means nobody would do it, so you're now actually taking value [b]away[/b] from our DLC. A much better solution for both players and bungie is to incentivize DLC players rather then punish non-DLC players. You could do something like every sixth week DLC players have the options of doing two weekly and two nightfall strikes per character but that's only a short term solution. This problem will only compound itself in the future when more DLC strikes are released. House of wolves will probably only add one strike to the list (because the other one will be a ps4 exclusive, and thus not on the list) but eventually when bungie gets out of playstation exclusive hell (or decides to release more then a pittance of content each expansion) then non-DLC players will really begin to feel the crunch. Thus the true solution is to create two wholly independent lists that [b]both[/b] DLC players can play. One list has the original five (six in September) strikes, the other has a rotation of DLC strikes, and maybe that list only resets twice a month instead of four times in order to not let DLC players hyper-inflate their amount of strange coins.
