So Bungie just posted this to help hype the new update
Taken-themed
Gear
Taken-themed Gear can also be earned, and a full set of Desolate Armor will unlock a unique Taken "Shiver" emote.
Sterling Treasure
Both Chroma and Taken-themed gear can be found in Sterling Treasures. Three Sterling Treasures can be obtained each week by visiting the Postmaster after each weekly reset, successfully completing one Level 41 Prison of Elders activity, and completing one match in the featured Weekly Crucible Playlist.
Additional Sterling Treasures can also be purchased via Tess Everis in the Eververse Trading Company stores
Great! Now you don't have to wait each week for rngesus to grace you, you can just straight buy your gear with real money! AKA - Pay to -blam!-ING Win!!
How many times did Bungie swear up and down that they would never ever sell gear that offered an advantage to players? That it would only ever be cosmetic in nature?
As usual we see what their promises are worth

How many morons are gonna post about this? You buy it at 3 light, have people forgotten how to read??

Its -blam!-ing level [i]3[/i]

Key word is advantage what advantage do you get by 3 defense light

2 RepliesThe game structure is evolving, if we want more content they need more funds, they saw the eververse deal as a compromise
-
1 Replywait when did chroma come to Destiny?
-
1 ReplyThe gear you get from it is light level 3... You might as well be farting on Oryx with that damage output
-
6 RepliesI just don't understand. How do you kids function day to day? Your comprehension level is virtually zero.
-
1 Replysomebody doesn't know what "pay to win" means.
-
5 RepliesYou really think being able to buy light level 3 gear is in any way paying to win? Good Gods you guys need to loosen your tin foil hats and take a large glass of calm down.
-
2 RepliesLight level 3 armor, definitely pay to win. Not to mention some old exotics and legendaries coming back from Y1.
-
1 ReplyIt's pay-to-get-the-exact-same-equivalent-as-people-who-get-it-for-free-but-still-have-to-infuse-it-with-free-gear-to-be-relevant-when-power-matters. You are incorrect.

6 RepliesI'm getting carpal tunnel from muting all these fools all day.

Edited by fornacis: 3/31/2016 11:54:48 PMI would mute you if I ever find the button in the new app
-
Yes you can buy the gear..... but you still have to infuse it.
-
You'll love Clash of Clans.
-
RNG? Lol you get 3 for doing easy stuff
-
When you buy gear with worse stats and call it pay to win you are calling yourself an idiot. Who in their right mind would spend money on something they can earn for free by just logging in. You're right though, f bungie, they are so in it for just the money.
-
Do other games have the same tards on their forums?
-
I like how you just completely ignored the 3 sterling treasures you can get for free.
-
Destiny is entirely RNG. Have you not figured that out yet? They give you multiple ways to earn the Treasure. I think they rattled off at least 3 or 4. Just Grind grind grind if it means anything to you. Otherwise who cares they are just glorified glowing skins anyways.

Edited by Camnew: 3/31/2016 4:14:19 PMThe stuff that you can buy is the exact same stuff you can earn in-game. You can earn three sterling treasures every week. Or you can buy as many as you want. The armor you get from the treasures requires another armor piece that's higher light for infusion, so it doesn't really help you at all. Oh and it's ARMOR. It does almost nothing for you except raise your light and look nice.
-
1 Replyim sure gonna get better at trials with my 3 light, perkless armor... please catch the sarcasm...
-
2 RepliesWhat "advantage" does it give you?
-
2 RepliesIt can all still be earned, but it comes at 3 defense from the sterling treasure, arguably the only advantage is the rep gain packs but those are completely random so it's not pay to win whatsoever since none of those pieces of gear actually help your progression in the game
