I am an Alpha, Beta, Day 1 player and im on my last string. -Microtransactions -Time gates -Dishonesty -Ps4 Exclusives [b]This is a recipe for shit. [/b] [quote]I'm on ps4 and even I don't agree with the exclusive iron banner armor.[/quote] 70$ Vanilla- gave me the chance to be max level, semi-balanced PvP, No Thorn or OP pulse rifles.. just Auto Rifles needed a small Nerf. VOG greatest raid Destiny will ever have. 20$ TBD- Was great made us think the future of Destiny would be more like this! Little did we know it was already in the game and they made us pay for it. 20$ HoW- was actually quite good, you could use any gear any weapons, just messed up PvP though with OP ass weapons and shitty PoE 40$ TTK- it was really good before we started seeing the transparency of the dlc.. we lost all of our weapons and gear we spend litterally days in game earning and now its a rinse and repeat cycle. Total: 150$ for the original game.. Trust me I played World of Warcraft, exact same shit happened and trust me it did die. As will Destiny, until they stop trying to make so much -blam!-ing money and focus on making a good game. Now microtransactions are all they hype up and talk about.. Srl racing? What a -blam!-ing waste. Yea its cool but its probably been around since Vanilla anyway like everything else. TLDR: Bungie wants money. Bungie doesnt care about its players. All they see is dollar signs. Until they focus on making a great game, I am steering clear from any new DLC.. [spoiler][b]Fanboys: [/b] I feel bad for you all, defending a company that doesnt care about you. I understand though. You gotta go down with your sinking ship. You get fkd in the a$$ and dont say anything youll continue to get fkd in the a$$ by Bungie. Enjoy your a$$ fkn or speak up and demand change. [/spoiler] Unsalty logical responses: [spoiler][quote]It's crazy that people bash you for posts like these.. Yeah I get that there's a lot of posts like these, but honestly [b]there's a reason for it! [/b] We can all agree we love this game, or would wouldn't be playing it..and definitely wouldn't be on the forums. Coming from a day 1 player, this game has made drastic improvements in certain areas. But it's as soon as they get something right..the turn something else into absolute shit (fusion rifles anyone??). Bottom line is, posts like these are made to make people aware of this shit. So maybe, Bungle will become aware and fix shit. And Maximize this games incredible potential. That's all[/quote][/quote] [spoiler][quote]I don't hate destiny as a game, but what really gets me is that bungie doesn't take responsibility for their failed weapons update. I mean come on, there was "a typo" and that AR's were supposed to be buffed by .7% not 7%, .4% not 4%... You've got to be kidding me. On top of that they also lied ( or just screwed up ) my favorite special weapon: fusion rifles. ADS stability is atrocious now on fusion rifles. I was really looking forward to that weapon patch... I don't know, I just don't know anymore[/quote][/spoiler] [spoiler] [quote]It's basically just the monetary value attached to bullshit products that don't do anything. Like $10 for a statistics screen with the racing record book, or $5 emotes. With other companies, the microtransactions actually feel like they have an actual value for what you're paying (like purchasing weapons or entire characters in Warframe, or unlocking entire weapon trees in Battlefield, etc.) while Bungie attempts to capitalize on the same quantities of money for 5-second dance moves or paper masks for your Guardian. And for anyone who played since day one, I can see why they'd be mad after playing through two anemic DLCs and one decent expansion just to have this shit be Destiny's "final form".[/quote] [/spoiler] [spoiler][quote]I think he more concerned about the current state of the game. As in how they haven't actually created anything new to release. Everything you played so far (other then sparrow racing) was developed before the vanilla release of destiny. Do a little research on what happened to the story. The original story that was tossed out ended on the dreadnaught. The dark below and house of Wolves were completed prelaunch and Bungie has no new content to release. I know dlc takes time, but they had over a year. They spent the first year taking stuff out of the game and re working a new story over it and released it as a "massive new dlc" that didn't expand any content. How many strikes did we have in rotation before the taken king dropped? How many did we have after it dropped? Here is a hint, vanilla destiny shipped with 5 strikes and we currently have 5 in rotation. They literally took away content and most people are thanking them for it. I'm a huge fan of destiny, have been following it development for the day it was announced. The reef was fully formed and displayed within the first year of development. It wasn't a surprise to anyone in the know that we got the social space there as they did show it off in full (NPCs didnt populate it) a year or two before the launch date.[/quote] [/spoiler] [spoiler][quote]The light level thing and the time gated items are why I don't play destiny with any seriousness anymore. I fluctuate a lot with games now,ive been just wasting a little time here and there with destiny,I haven't done anything serious at all. Why bother? Light levels are ridiculous,possibly the worst leveling system to date,can't use whatever I want in strikes,raids,ToO and banner anymore because of it. All end game content gives shit based on light and not actual unique items,all the emphasis is on light level,which doesn't even matter for anything outside of ToO and the raid, which in turn only gives you more light related crap! It's so redundant. I'd be able to partially get over that if I could, you know, actually get the new -blam!-ing exotics I paid for over 2 months ago! I mean for Christ sake,i lost interest in destiny before I could even get the content I paid for when I bought the Damn dlc. I can't take this game or this company seriously anymore. When you say "includes "x" new exotics" that usually means they are in the -blam!-ing dlc, not being purposely held off because the developer knows the game is dying. That's false advertisement for one and,if it weren't for the bullshit terms and reg we all agreed to when we bought the game, itd be illegal as -blam!-,considering we didn't receive the goods/services we were promised in exchange for the money we gave them, two theyd probably be getting sued all over the place for pulling this shit. Dirty business,insulting and blatantly transparent. It really just leaves a bad taste in your mouth when you try to enjoy the game.[/quote] [/spoiler] [b][u][i](Title is b8 for fan boys to bump my post.)[/i][/u][/b]
