May 19th: And why I'm ok with that

I'm completely fine with The House of Wolves DLC coming out later than expected for several reasons. 1. This will give Bungie more time to get it right. The Dark Below was a fun, but partially flawed DLC. Some of the story was light, and the exotic progression and new vendor armor stand out as items which needed more time and consideration. An extra two months may even provide time for an in-level cutscene or two. I know I'd like to learn more about the Queen and The Cro...I mean her brother. ; ) 2. This will give me more time to get my characters to Lvl 32 and max out my weapons. I play as all three classes, which isn't the most efficient way to get three Lvl 32's, but I find it fun. My Warlock was only 29 last time around, and I had a real hard time getting him into high level content once the level cap jumped. Two more months means I can hopefully get my last character (my titan this time) to Lvl 32. I know I'll have a lot more fun at with the DLC that way. 3. Gjallarhorn. This one is super selfish, but two more months will give me more time to hunt that most coveted of launchers. After my 3rd Dragon's Breath, I can tell you more exotics from DLC make it that much harder to get a Gally drop. (Again totally selfish). Are you guys ok with a delay? (Especially considering March was always a speculation). Or will you probably take a break from Destiny? I'm curious to know! Edit: 4. I assume more time will allow them to work out more of the VoG and CE glitches that are still out there. When CE came out VoG seemed to go off the raid-ar. I wouldn't want the fallen raid to take away from fixing the existing raids. Also thanks for all the comments! Looks like a lot of people aren't very optimistic. I'd say try to enjoy yourselves more it's a video game! Edit: Wow we are trending! I hope Deej sees this (just because that would be cool!) A lot of people are wondering if I'm expecting more content with more development time. I don't I think I really am, but I don't see that as a problem. I am just hopeful that what comes out is crisper, and ready for mass consumption. For example, it sounds like Xur's exotic upgrades are going to be changing, and I'd really like to see them hit it out of the park there! I'd also like him to sell Ghjallarhorn (again selfishly) Edit: I'm getting a lot of questions about my source. This is far from an official announcement, but it is being reported as a potential leak. Here is IGN's article: Destiny: House of Wolves Release Date, Details Possibly Leaks http://m.ign.com/articles/2015/02/04/destiny-house-of-wolves-release-date-and-details-possibly-leak Edit: Just throwing this out there. I'm not saying House of Wolves will get more content than was already planned, I'm just saying I think it will come out better than it would have been otherwise. Less glitches for example. Also thanks for all the comments! They are fun to read. Edit: Looks like this thread is slowing down. Thanks for the 580+ comments! It's been real fun! Hope everyone enjoys House of Wolves whenever it releases!

    • I don't mind the wait at all, honestly dark below was great it had it's flaws but I think it was well worth it. And if pushing back means upgrading vault, CE, and other aspects of the game then I'm all for it.

    • If u are not bored of the current content by now, you will be soon. It hit me today, the only problem is I don't know what to go play now... By the time may hits I will be fully out the door into something new. It is a big mistake to push this release out to May! I would rather an early release and be a beta tester again like TDB release then wait and lose all interest in the game.

      • More time to get it right? More time to fix CE and VOG? You're joking right? Bungie seems to care more about nerfing this and buffing that than to actually fix what's broken with this game. I could care less what Xur is selling (whether what he's selling is intentional or RNG, could care less). What I care about is the countless bugs in both raids and the heavy weapon glitch (ie. Losing heavy weapon ammo upon dying, going to orbit, cut scene, etc..). They're going to late release HoW, and guess what? We are all going to run into bugs. I believe it's better to release the DLC on the date originally intended, have the players report the bugs as they see them, and fix them with patches. Instead it's going to be a late release, with people fed up with waiting on it, then it's going to release with numerous bugs that they're going to ignore like the other two raids. I'm not frustrated with the game, it was a good waste of time, I'm just growing bored of it really quickly.

        • Isn't May 19th about the date Witcher3 comes out? Possible ploy to keep people from jumping ship? Just a thought...

            • In a sense I agree with your statement, This is bungie's first time making a game like Destiny An FPS with the similarities of a MMORPG, also the bugs in the game are Bungie's way of learning on how to make the game better, "How do we fix this glitch/exploit/bug, without causing more bugs to run rampant." Hence the reason why their updates are slowing flowing out, they know if they kept adding updates I'm pretty sure another problem will appear. So yes I agree with this statement hold yours

            • I'll still be playing every night regardless. Nice post. Having that hope for Bungie and letting them prove us wrong with all our criticism will be great if it happens. People seem very impatient these days and they seem to fail to realize that working out bugs, adding content and working through code takes time. It's not surprising they'd rather be more meticulous with thus expansion.

            • My only concern is they won't take the time to polish more and it is just a strategy to stretch content. We all know commendations were just a way to slow down progression (guys had hundreds of marks so they had to do something) With all the speculation about the 6 month gap between HoW and the big one next September being a kill switch for destiny that may have affected their decision about a release date. This way it is 4-5 mos between expansions instead of 3-3-6 Now I really do hope they take the time to make it the best it can be and hopefully it is because they need to prep a new way to expand the game since TDB did not go over well I remain hopeful but at the same time skeptical

              I agree that it gives them more time to work on the content, which is good. I'm honestly already getting a little burned out with my alts. My main is 32 and one of thee others just needs mor shard, but my titan has been on the backburner for quite a while now. I thought about the lowered chance of Gjallarhorn in both drops and Xûr once more weapons are added. Though, if the Vesta Dynasty keeps popping up like NLB and Dragon's Breath, I'll be happy. As for them working on VoG and CE, I think that ship has sailed and won't be back for a long time. [i]Unless[/i] they make a "Heroic" mode or something at the current level cap to keep us playing through the summer.

              It's a bitter sweet moment for me, i already have all three of my characters to 32 and the only things i'm missing from crota's end are the crux and swordbreaker. So i don't really need to do crota's end anymore (i still will though). I want some new content... But at the same time i would like to enjoy my new gear, now i get to enjoy being 32 for a few more months. Meh... Also i look at the delay as sort of a positive, maybe they are implementing new changes to the game (ie. More vault space, more bounties)

            • If they get rid of the numerous glitches, I'm happy with it. If it comes out with all the glitches the last two raids have had I'll be upset bc I'm bored already with content available - just need Hunger and Crux. Maybe I'll play more crucible while I wait because I'm horrible! Regardless, they already have my money so it doesn't matter to them what I think.

                • Well, the update is up and HoW is now confirmed for a Q2 release. No exact date yet but a May release date is a safe bet.

                • If it is delayed, I damn well need some new content rather than being given the Chamber of Night bounty for the millionth time. That is not entertaining. Chances are, I will get bored of destiny with no new content, will begin playing Assassin's Creed Unity and will forget all about destiny as I work to complete other games that are new and exciting.
