An alternative to locking players out of previously purchased or available content
If players choose not to purchase Destiny expansions or cannot afford the new content, why not just lock the associated activities and loot.
The daily on Tuesday was available to those who did not purchase RoI. The daily on Wednesday was locked. This is a good example of how the segregation could function. Why can't the same principal be applied to the nightfall or strike and crucible playlists?
Each activity and loot item associated with an expansion is tagged with a emblem. If items are rewarded at the conclusion of activities (to those who did not purchase an expansion), make the item(s) unavailable to equip or infuse. When players start playing Destiny, items are locked due to level restrictions, so we know this logic is available.
This change may create goodwill and help retain customers.
Thanks for reading.
Edit - Xur is selling a RoI exotic. Players who did not purchase RoI do not have the option to buy. This is fine and further evidence items can be locked.

Honestly I don't see why they can't be adjusted to make it so those without certain expacs will see different weekly or daily. A rise of iron nightfall for us A dark below one for them. Other games have worked this fine when it comes to new expac content.

i came here to see reviews on whether this dlc was worth the 30 dollars but even though i hate to admit it call of duty does the whole dlc thing better then destiny because they charge half of what bungie charges while providing more frequent dlc with the same amount of value and better innovation and i am not a fan of closing off previously paid for pvp modes just becuase of not purchasing the dlc...its really not that hard to seperate the dlc player base anymore than they are now...this is the reason why i kind of gave up on this game after putting up countless hours and give them money for empty promises. It takes so long for dlc to come out for this game but it feels like they kind of gave up and just working straight on destiny 2.

3 RepliesYou shouldn't have access, [u]at all[/u] to the content of you didn't buy it. That's kind of the whole principle here.
-
It's been my experience that destiny is digital crack. If you bought ttk you will eventually buy RoI. Even if it means trading all your games or selling plasma.

You have to pay if you want to play that content. Its with everything. So if you want to play, pay the small amount of money and enjoy. And just to add this part too, because there are people stupid enough to believe in this approuch, if you dont want to buy the content to make some kind of point towards bungie that you dont agree with something, just stop. You are still playing, just not the new content. Bungie doesnt care what content you are playing, its the part that you are still playing they are interested in.

no one is really locked out of anything... if you bought up to the TTK you can play the daily and strikes up to that.. so when the daily is not on a TTK or before mission obviously you cant do it the same with the nightfall.. you get to play what you paid for .. so how is what your saying fair to the people who paid for the dlc... so what do you want bungie to do change the nightfall daily? same with crucible.. you people think your entitled to shit you have no right asking for... bungie has posted and said the game is going to change everyone bought destiny knowing it would.. SO GTFO IT!

10 RepliesEverytime a new DLC drops, we can read something like this. It's 30bucks, quit smoking for 6 days and you can afford it.

4 RepliesWhy would they want to make paying lass money more comfortable?
-
Because of course it makes perfect business sense to make it easy and convenient not to buy the latest content.... Why do so many people think Bungie is operating a charity?
-
2 RepliesWon't work, bungie is too hungry for the money. They are constantly just looking at the money aspect of content. "They don't wanna pay more? Lock them out till they leave this slot machine or pay up." Its pathetic really how this once great dev team is merely a cod dev with "Activisions bitch" tattooed on their foreheads.

2 RepliesThe only thing that really stays, considering I get the actual expansion tomorrow, are vendor stocks, since the vendors still sell the same ol' crap. Literally was wanting to see the new armor, and was greeted with Aspriet 1.0
-
Great idea...shame bungie doesn't care about that,actually I think they enjoy excluding people from content...content they paid for.
-
Why would a business want to enable behavior that promotes not purchasing their product? I like your idea but it's a business, that's what businesses do. Because human beings are emotional creatures I will repeat it. I like your idea. I'm not taking up for Bungie but I understand that business is business. I'm not commenting on what good business [i] should [/i] be but rather what businesses [i]do[/i].

4 RepliesI would have thought the logical way of doing this would have been to give each expansion its own Director, with its own loops of nightfalls and dailies and heroics. Maybe they'll consider that for the next game? I wouldnt hold my breath, but IMHO it would be better and fairer all ways round.

1 ReplyWho would do a knight fall if they know their loot would be locked from use?
-
9 RepliesNobody has lost any content they actually paid for Nightfall, the new raid, xur, iron banner, trials, the weekly activities and the daily activities are all add ons that players get to benefit from These activities become locked for different reasons. Your light level is too low or they are part of a new dlc that you haven't purchased. However they are not activities you paid for. The ones you paid for are still there for you to enjoy at your own leisure

Edited by Legion: 9/23/2016 5:06:59 AMI see, they might as well go full out MMO and give us a monthly rate & dedicated servers. Seriously, that would be a douche move.

2 RepliesI couldn't agree more. COD has always had matchmaking that matches you with ppl who have the same playlists as you. Why can bungie not do this? I'm far more concerned with crucible than pve. I can't choose to play rift, which I paid for, rather I have to wait forever and hope it pops up in classic. And as far as I can tell I can't play basic elimination which I also paid for. Trials I can understand, but elimination is a completely different story.

3 RepliesAre you suggesting allowing people who haven't purchased the dlc to play dlc strikes/missions? I'm gonna have to say no to that. Weekly heroics and dailies are not content. They are an activity that is filled with content. Whether or not you own that content that is filling the activity is what allows you to play. It seems much more reasonable to just have a "classic daily" playlist and so forth, in which people without the new content can still get their marks and rewards.
