One thing is for sure: The PvP Killcount of the Ghost will always stay at 0.

PAY TO WIN

I think it's pointless from both perspectives. Didn't pre-order: If you buy the game within the 3 month window after launch (supporting the game) you miss out on an exotic. Pre-ordered: After 3 months you're Pre order bonus is no longer a bonus. I think it should be total exclusive trash or exotics, non of this in-between stuff.
-
I'm sorry, but put me in the preorders-are-dismal conspiracy camp. I find it completely odd not only to offer a weapon in this looter shooter, but an Exotic to boot, as an incentive to buy the game this close to release. Not only that, but the very act itself undermines the whole purpose of the game: to find loot. You don't do that. Ever.
-
Anyone who knows anything about retail knew this anyway. Game in the UK and gamestop in the US had the promo posters before the beta even launched.
-
And ColdHeart isn't even exclusive. You all get it in December anyway
-
So people complain that the vanguard pre order stuff was trash. Now we get an exotic and same people complaining that it is for sales. Just can't be happy people will always find something to cry about.

I used to work at an animation/post production studio. I understand that it takes weeks, even months to hire a crew to light/mic/film people being interviewed, review footage, purchase music rights, edit music/sound FX, do 3D tracking on footage, add text/effects, and composite the piece into a :41 trailer, let alone a 3:50 minute long video. Not to mention the amount of approvals and corporate & legal BS they had to go through (looking at you Vanilla Ice) to get these videos live. The fact that "Making an Exotic" was released same day as the preorder announcement is not a coincidence—this was strategically and intentionally planned and probably has been for months. This is a massive corporation in a massive money making industry, too. They didn't say "whoops we screwed up let's give them an exotic." If you think that, you truly don’t understand how much was involved in getting these videos live.

Remember Iron Gjallarhotn? Obviously, someone thought that helped their numbers for RoI, so they decided to try it again. People like "free" stuff. Selling their game with "free" stuff is a good business move.
-
Just put it in one of your primary slots. Move along nothing to see here.
-
Bungie is desperate for sales that they are offering exotics as pre order bonuses Still not buying destiny 2
-
Hahaha the real question is how much cold heart will suck. We all know what's coming.
-
Why is kill tracking a preorder bonus, and not an actual in game feature?
-
Unknown Player posted a video before the beta wondering why the Cold Heart was included in a bundle. He confirmed it was always a preorder bonus as soon as it was announced. Move on, conspiracy cornballs. Nothing more to see here. OP, maybe edit these details into your post so people can stop looking foolish.

Bearbeitet von dnrobs: 7/29/2017 4:19:32 AMDude they were carrying a model of cold heart around in e3. Nothing in there suggests a new preorder bonus. As long as the don't put a lock on reviews again, we'll get a few reviews early and you can still preorder the day on or before release.

The problem with offering weapons as pre-order bonuses is that there is no positive thing about it. If it's too good, people will complain about pay to win. If it's bad, people will complain about how they wasted their money. Here's how I feel about this: -I assume everyone has pre-ordered D2 at this point in one way or another. So it stands to reason everyone will be getting Cold Heart (I know there are some of you out there who claim to be cancelling their pre-orders, please just stop. We all know you're doing it for attention.). -Cold Heart will become publicly available probably during the first DLC. This brings me to my main issue. What if Cold Heart is like how Ghorn was for Crota during Dark Below? We all remember that, Ghorn was your one ticket to getting into a Raid team regardless of skill. Sure, everyone will gain access to it eventually, but if it is highly useable in the Raid, then most people will be done with the Raid by then. -Bungie, if you are going to do something like this, then repeat what you did with Rise. Have a version of the gun that's publicly available, and another that's pre-order bonus. Maybe while Cold Heart is the pre-order bonus, we could also get a gun exactly like it. But with a slight difference. Maybe give us a version that shoots magma (Solar) or a stardust burst (Void). Sorry if this was long. I love ranting.

Bearbeitet von MSTRKRFT76: 7/28/2017 11:55:58 PMI pre ordered months ago. I know i am supposed to have access to this ghost and freezie pea shooter but can anyone answer the real question? Is this stuff going to be waiting for me at the postmaster or do I need to visit the homeland of the virgins for a code?

Cold heart = pay to win

Coldheart is like Zarya's weapon in Overwatch. If you can keep the beam on target its great. If you can't, then it sucks. It all comes down to the user's skill.
-
When I first saw it I was like "shit, I knew I should have gotten the special edition!" Then I saw it was available to everyone who preorders. I'm definitely using this gun. -blam!-ING FREEZE RAY HELL YEAH (I'm aware it doesn't actually freeze things.)
-
Adults - That's a cool new mechanic for guns. Good info dump this week. Kids - This is complete BS! I should not have to pre-order the game just to get an exotic weapon. Goodbye Destiny 2. Screw you Bungo! Anyone who pre-orders this is utter scum. Destiny 2 content sounds worse every week. Wahhhhhhh. My fidget spinner has more content then Destiny 2.
-
I will predict that the AMA will mysteriously be full of questions from Datto, Broman and the other "Party Line" streamers. Otherwise the questions will likely be made up by IGN so as not to cause any embarrassment. If the questions were honest I would expect to see the following asked almost immediately. 1. What the hell were you thinking with the PvE restrictions that are clearly not adding any fun? 2. Why the hell is this game, which clearly has a far larger PvE following, tuned for PvP? 3. Why have you now locked an exotic, that the design team have effectively described as being a game changer, behind a pre-order paywall with a 3 month lock-out? 4. Why was the beta so limited in scope? If Destiny 2 has so much more content than Destiny 1 then this beta makes zero sense. You're asking people to trust you. Even though you've lied to them or U-Turned repeatedly during the lifetime of Destiny 1. Of course I don't expect a single one of those questions to be asked and if they are I am pretty certain that whoever comes in from Bungie to answer the AMA will side step them like a politician at an ice skating rink!

With the early beta access carrot gone, this is the next carrot. How long can you hold out? Do your really want to be the guy who didn't pre-order what could turn out to be this game's Gjallerhorn? Are you sure that you want the first day you get invited to a raid to be December 6, or maybe never if it doesn't drop for you until three years into D2?

I'm so upset now! RAWR!!! MAD FACE!!!!
