It really bummed me. He says I'm addicted- I don't think so. Check my characters- am I even good enough to be addicted? I mean, it's summer vacation. If I was actually addicted I would have had max grim and al exotics and what not.
Edit- for the record I bought it with my own money, and I'm 17 years old
Edit 2: people saying to buy digital: it would have been smart if it wasn't that stupid. He would have taken the whole PS4...
Edit 3: starting to feel old about CD. And I'm just 17.
Edit 4: being maxed is super easy. You have to be a real scrub to [u]not succeed[/u] getting 3 34's. If you never tried, ok, but if you failed? Leave
Edit 5:

I heard about my brother roaming the forums talking shit. First of all, it really wasn't me, second of all, I'd be glad if someone could send me some screenies of the conversation since he hid the posts. Thanks.

5 RepliesYour father has every right to take your game. Do you pay the bills? Do you live in his house? Do you eat his food that he buys every week? Do what your father tells you kid! It's really that simple.

85 RepliesRead this SUROS Regime was known as ARCUS Regime and you could switch firing modes. Red Death was supposed to be an Auto Rifle, but the devs realized that there were less Pulse Rifles so they switched things around and the perk was supposed to heal you IF you scored a precision kill. You were able to equip any gun be it legendary or exotic way before hitting lvl 20. But in favor of end game mechanics, the devs scrapped that idea. Sniper Rifles were supposed to be on the Heavy slot and hand cannons on the special slot. But the devs felt that it didn't quite fit in for some unexplained reason. Kinda stupid this one actually. Gjallarhorn was known as Ragnarok during its first stages of development and the perk was actually called Gjallarhorn, but that changed obviously. A perk only achieved after fully leveling up a subclass granted that final bit of attributes to max out either armor, recovery, and agility. But the devs and their shenanigans scrapped the idea. When gear was fully leveled, you could purchase a final upgrade which increased defense and attack but locked out previous choices. You could equip any armor type and still be able to reach the max light level, but this never made it to the final stage of development. Khvostov 7G-02 was going to be the first stage of an exotic Auto Rifle called "Ancestor" it description was "A lost gun in a lost world. But thanks to you, it has reached the pinnacle of it's existence." One of it's perks was known as "Ancient Ally" which granted more super energy upon a kill and spawned an orb of light when scoring a precision kill. Another perk was known as "Vengeance." This perk increased weapon damage, at the cost of reload speed. Even though "Ancestor" was a futuristic version of Khvostov 7G-02, one of the sights for this gun was "The Broken Visor" which is the one we know today. Hard Light had a final perk which made it an ARC weapon, but locked out previous choices, so the devs dropped the perk. Warlocks had a final perk which made it possible to max out the recovery attribute, same with Titans and Hunters, but for Titans it was armor, and for Hunters it was agility. Crest of Alpha Lupi was going to be a reward from Alpha Lupi herself after rescuing her from the Fallen, but this along with the original story of Destiny was scrapped out. Thorn was only obtainable via Charlemagne's Vault, but it was turned into a bounty instead. Charlemagne's Vault is a raid located on Mars, below the Dust Palace. The final boss for this raid was supposed to be Charlemagne himself, a mad Guardian gone rouge and working with the cabal. Every exotic had a specific task in order to acquire them. SUROS Regime was obtainable after bringing golden age blueprints to SUROS and making them fabricate the weapon using the blueprints. Thunderlord (before the E3 presentation) was obtainable after defeating a Fallen Baron and looting his vault. Patience and Time was a gift from Cayde-6 himself after completing his final personal mission. Ikora Rey gifted you Invective, and Commander Zavala gifted you Gjallarhorn after finding the armor and weapon parts of fallen Guardians during the battle of Twilight gap. These armor and weapon parts could only be found while exploring Twilight Gap and defeating special enemies and bosses located there. Fate of All Fools was obtainable after completing the Trials of Osiris (Not the multiplayer mode) before the rework of Destiny, you must complete special trials made by Osiris himself in order to gain access to a portion of the game, this was scrapped and made into a bounty instead. Hard Light was a gift from the Reef. The Vex Mythoclast was obtained after clearing VoG (This hasn't changed). Super Good Advice could only be obtained by finding it. Supposedly, you had to hunt down Kabr and his team after disappearing all of a sudden. You would encounter them except Kabr, approaching Pahanim's corpse would trigger a cutscene explaining what happened and your guardian picking up Super Good Advice. This weapon also had a personality itself and could interact with the player and say things when shooting and killing enemies. Also, after the cutscene, you stand before the VoG, unlocking the raid in the process. Vault of Glass consisted of rescuing Kabr and fighting along side him against Atheon, he would then sacrifice himself and forge Aegis Shield, allowing your team to finish off Atheon. But after the rework of the story of the game, this was scrapped and made into a Grimoire instead. The Queen's brother is known as Crow. Before accessing the reef, you had to survive waves of Fallen in the arena. Doing so would then grant you a session with the queen and continue the story. Humans, Exos, and Awoken had different story lines. The story line we know today is from the Exo. The human story line consisted of you surviving a Fallen raid and arriving at the city, you would seek refuge at the Tower, there Ghost would approach you and make you a Guardian, for it sensed the light within you. The Awoken started at the reef, being judged by the queen and eventually exiled form the reef. You would then fight your way out and arrive to the Last City. Earth was supposed to be the last planet to be unlocked and most difficult one to complete. There are 3 factions not present in the game. There is a 5th enemy race, supposedly the one with the triangle ships. The Fallen and the Cabal are actually allies. We can't see that because there isn't an area were the 2 races are together. The Hive hasn't encountered the Cabal and the Vex yet. The fallen is the only race to have encountered all other races. Before the rework of Destiny, Guardians had AI followers to choose from. Companions to aid you in battle. The Exo stranger, Crow, and rougue Guardians were part of the roster of companions who tagged along during missions and arena battles on the reef. Kinda how the Arbiter and SGT Johnson helped you back in Halo 3, but with improved mechanics and AI of course. But unfortunately, this was scrapped and fireteams were introduced. Still prefer AI companions... they don't go AFK during a match. (note: this fact about Talkative-9 is a rumor, so I'm not 100%, but nonetheless, I think it's hilarious. Credit goes to AftermathSoldier07) There was a funny, mysterious vendor called Talkative-9. He always appeared during missions and strikes. The role of Talkative-9 was to jump into a nasty firefight along with the Guardians and start to talk to them and offer sweet deals and items for purchase. Talkative-9 could be killed by the enemy, doing so would increase his stock prices immensely the next time he appeared, so Guardians must tolerate his annoying banter and protect him from the enemy. After clearing the area, you could then interact with Talkative-9 and see his wares. They supposedly ranged from common weapons to legendary weapons and armors. And upgrade materials. His currency was motes of light, glimmer, and materials. Talkative-9 is not an exo, he is a drone like those found in the Tower. Xur, the infamous Agent of the Nine, didn't sold exotic weapons and armor. Instead, he provided items that could increase the light level of all armors that were rare or legendary. He also sold items that upgraded weapons as well. Last but not least, Xur was the only way to fully upgrade and exotic item. He also sold materials and engrams. Bad Juju was supposed to be a VOID weapon, Last Word was SOLAR, and Hard Light was ARC. Patience and Time had a perk that allowed you to shoot ammo boxes and collect the ammo from any distance. Ice Breaker was obtainable by bringing a broken sniper rifle to Banshee-44. He would then attempt to fix it, but instead he breaks it again. But he actually perfected it, hence receiving Ice Breaker. The Last Word was obtainable by defeating Malphur in a 1V1 combat on the arena. It was part of the story, before bungie reworked it all up. Truth was obtainable by doing a special mission for the Speaker. He would give you an amulet that needed to be brought to Xur. Xur would then hand over a Launcher. Bringing this Launcher to Banshee would then be crafted into Truth. Universal Remote was only obtainable by raiding the Cabal Imperial Land Tank. It was part of the Story, before Bungie reworked the story of Destiny. Shaxx was supposed to appear along side Saladin during Iron Banner events. Saladin handed over armors and class items, while Shaxx geared you up with weapons and buffs. The lovely cryptarch... There were supposed to be 3 cryptarchs. A human and exo along with the awoken bastard we know today. You could interact with the Fallen found on the reef. There was even supposed to be a Fallen vendor. She would sell primarily ARC weapons and armors with high discipline. During a mission on the Reef, your primary objective was to escort a wounded Dreg to the queen. Failing the mission would lead to the execution of the Dreg, completing it however, would still lead to the execution of the Dreg, but you get a reward from the Queen. This was scrapped after the rework of the story. Remember that Earth was supposed to be the last planet to unlock? Well, after a mission, a cutscene shows your guardian escaping from the Reef. He is shot down and crash landed on Earth. See that big crashed ship on Earth we see today? That was supposed to be YOUR ship. After the crash, you would then have to find a new ship. Which is the same one we get when we first started Destiny.

2 RepliesSome of the responses in this thread make me seriously worried for the next generation... "Call the cops, it's technically theft" "Slash his tires" "Steal his credit card" "Get your own place" "Tell him you got a girl pregnant" Are you freaking kidding me!? You guys can't be serious... there's either a trolling level of epic proportions going on in this thread, or some of the most ridiculous children on the planet. OP, if your dad thought you were playing too much... you probably are. If you're 17 years old, you've likely got ONE more year of school before the consequences of your actions fall on your shoulders... and ONLY your shoulders. And no... you don't have any legal right to sue your father for a video game. And yes... you can be put in jail for slashing his tires. And yes... you can go to prison for stealing his credit card. Yes... you could probably get your own place, if you could find someone to cosign the lease. Because you have 0 credit history. Oh, and then you get to work full time (probably more without an education) to pay your bills, leaving you very little time to play the video game that caused you to move out and alienate your father in the first place. And finally... yes... you could tell him you got a girl pregnant. But, your father sounds like a pretty responsible man. Therefore, he will very likely expect you to start working immediately in order to begin saving the inordinate amount of money you will need to raise a child. Again, eliminating the free time you may have had to play this video game. TLDR: suck it up, buttercup.

Your father is an intelligent man.

You have your PS4, ... So he let's you play other games ???????????????????????? LOL... What's in his head ?

2 RepliesGo outside and enjoy yourself before adulthood kicks in bubba!!! Adulthood sucks the big one in terms of freedom. You got the rest of your life to play games but not too much longer to be a kid with no adult responsibilities. Your father is doing you a favor. And good luck!!!!

Edited by steadyhand08: 7/22/2015 8:49:26 AMTbh. You have a good dad there is way more to life than just this game defo if your just 17. If you where playing it enough to worry your dad then you where flat out playing it to much. (Yeh im gunna be super unpopular here :p ) I would have done the same in his shoes. Put it this way you are pissed enough you made a fourm post about it. If you truly did not have an addiction you would not have cared enough to make a post. You would been pissed for sure but not enough to act on it... maybe grumble to a few friends. I know just another voice on the internet but as a 27 year old who life massively sucked until a few years ago. Break the gaming habbit now and get other hobbies too. (Massively massively recommend parkour the communty is postive, gets you outside, noone cares how good you are just that you are doing it, all the women are sexy as -blam!- like you have no idea and you pretty much have exclusive access cuz they don't waste their time with anyone else. And once your dad sees you doing somthing insane he will give your disk back and offer to buy you the dlc too :p For reals it's summer find a parkour communty it will change your life there a friendly bunch and if your a big guy now you will just get a huge ammount of respect for starting and trying. Anyway sorry for the wall of text just want to help and going to other addicts is probably the worse thing you can do hehehe Edit typos and yeh i live eat and breath parkour but if anyone wants help finding a group just drop me a pm I will pretty much do any networking required to help find you a team or help you build your own in your communty...

If they take destiny away from me it will just be another game I play

3 RepliesA junkie would never admit to having a problem. A junkie says "I don't have a problem. I can quit whenever I want. I don't even have a big habit." You undoubtedly missed your chance at a little reverse psychology, but when he took it should have said something like, "I needed a break away. I was getting to into it. Thanks Dad. Now I worry about worthwhile ventures...like getting laid. What's a good condom that provides maximum sensation and quality protection? I think I might try lambskin out." I guarantee you that he would have given you Destiny back and shoved you into your room.

I am in a similar situation, whenever I play destiny for over 2 hrs, my parents are yelling about how I am addicted and that they hate the game(mom is like anti violence everything) (dad doesn't give a shit, but has to go by moms rules). And I try to explain to them that i am not addicted, and there are kids who wake up, have some chips for breakfast, and play for 15 hours a day. For some people- it's even their job! IM NOT ADDICTED! And then they always threaten that they will "take it away" ._.

I do not miss being 17. Try talking to your father about making a compromise. Tell him that you'll ease his worries by only playing a certain amount of hours a week and that you'll help out with household chores more often.

Pee on him

In response to Edit 4: Sorry that I have a life with hobbies and other games that I enjoy. I didn't know that you had to be a 1337 gamur to play. I think I understand why your dad took the disk.
-
Stop playing destiny then and move on to other games.
-
He's doing you a favor

4 RepliesAnd you legally own property when your 18 so when you turn 18 tell him he has to give it back or it's a crime.
-
It's not a CD... Either DVD-Rom or BluRay depending on your system. But either way....your dad probably did it for a good reason, regardless of what you have to say.
-
Maybe your spending too much time online? Get out of the house, do some chores, show your father that destiny is just something you do for fun when your not doing other things, instead of neglecting real life to play. This is just a game after all.
-
I'm sorry but you are addicted....thing is we're ALL addicted, that's why this game is still relevant, bungie knows how to keep people playing.....even if they use cheap tactics
-
Just follow ur dad, he's doing the thing for your future. Someday you will realize it.

You're 17. Shut your mouth and do as your told. Once you pay for your own roof over your head you can make your own decisions, until then respect the one who feeds you. In my opinion you're a squeaker who needs to grow up a bit. Once you do that come back. We'll still be here.
