For those who haven't heard, or didn't break out the magnifying glass and read all the fine print, don't expect to get on today and use your shiny new Iron Gjallarhorn. You see, you're not really getting the weapon like the thousand of commercials promised. It was all a corporate lie to make you spend your money. You only get the Gjally after you do the quest to get it, the same way as everyone else who didn't preorder it. The "Iron" stuff is only a skin, NOT the full weapon.
Maybe I'm making too big of a deal about this, but I'm feeling very lied to right now. I agree the whole "pay real money for an in-game gun" idea was wrong from the start, but that's what they advertised for months. Now everybody gets on hoping to play with it only to figure out there was some small print somewhere that was hiding the truth? Bungie has lost my trust because of this. If I could return this preorder, I really might, just to tell them where to shove this corporate bullsh!t. This is some cheap move a company like EA would pull, I thought Bungie was above this.
Edit: It's been a while since I've been on the forums, so maybe this was discussed and well known beforehand, but if you're going to be blind and not see the bullsh!t Bungie is trying to pull here, you're being ignorant. Maybe people who still play the game daily knew this, but for us millions of people who quit, this wasn't made common knowledge. This was a marketing scheme, a lie, and I'm not a Bungie homer who's gonna just say it's OK because it was in the fine print.
Guess it just amazes me that so many people are used to this kind of crap from Bungie that they're OK with it...
Edit 2: For those of you saying they discussed this on streams or on other forum posts, that is only addressing a small percentage of their audience. This obviously a marketing scheme aimed at people like me who haven't been paying attention to the game and all the details. Hiding the truth in the fine print should not be ok, and it saddens me to see many of you defend Bungie for this. Yes, this was my error for trusting what they said in the commercials, for trusting Bungie. I thought this was a company that wouldn't resort to this low level of trickery in order to get players back, guess I was wrong. I just don't think that yelling lies in your commercials is justified with small print.
Edit 3: Do all of you work for insurance companies? Hiding the truth in fine print while deceiving your audience with false claims is not something that should be ok. When Comcast or AT&T pull this, everybody hates on them, so why is it ok for Bungie to do this? This was an intentionally deceptive campaign meant to trick people into buying this game. Whether or not you fell for it isn't the point, the point is that Bungie should be above this kind of crap and shouldn't have tried to lie to get players back.

14 RepliesI am super active in game, watch the streams, read the game informer bs, and nowhere did it say we would have to quest to actually be able to use the weapon.. it said that we would have it.. who know we couldn't use it.. I agree, really low of bungie to have done this.. all the hype.. then 2 hours delay to get on.. some of us got on at 3am for reset and had to wait until 5am to play.. then to get another kick in the gut and not be able to use the weapon.. along with the gold iron bounties they took away or the last 2 weeks in marks that wouldn't drop from the strikes.. seems like bungie really game us the good ol' FU(K you.

since when did you spend more money to get then iron ghorn? It was just an added pre order bonus, and I thought it was common knowledge that it was just a skin.
-
You're a moron, accept it and move on
-
2 RepliesI'm glad they did it this way. When I pre-ordered, I figured it would be an exclusive ornament. I'm glad Bungie is making everybody do the quest.
-
Forgive them, Bungie. They think not before they speak.

You got the Iron Gjallarhorn. You just can't equip it.
-
2 RepliesI knew that was going to happen because I already did my research on it. I still wanted the black skin though
-
This was obvious
-
So you're saying you only bought ROI for the Gjallarhorn?

so youre upset b.c you didnt get all the details pretaning to the preorder? grow up, and take responsibility. kids nowa days.

6 RepliesLife lesson: Bungie isn't your mother or your father. It is not THEIR responsibility to make sure that you know EXACTLY what your getting and how you're getting it, when you spend YOUR money. That is YOUR responsibility. The information was out there telling you that you were not going to be handed one of the most powerful exotic weapons in the game just for pre-ordering. YOU failed to take advantage of it. YOU failed to do your homework. Your dissatisfaction is YOUR fault. Bungie is in this to make money. They are not here to NURTURE you.
-
Come on man, really? You are grasping at straws. Did you not see the posts about the Exotics with skins? It was obviously that, if you couldn't see it that that's on you.
-
Bungie was pretty clear that you still have to earn your Gjallarhorn is quest. And it's a quest I'll happily run. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my Gjallerwing with its Gjallar Horn.
-
I'm not one for hiding the truth but you should've known it was only a skin. Why would they have a limited time offer for an upgraded weapon? Then people would be back to saying the game is pay to win

2 RepliesEither everyone bitches because some people get a weapon before everyone else OR everyone bitches because they didn't get a weapon before everyone else.....
