MEGA THREAD - Do you care about Destiny?
[b]Destiny Community,[/b]
[i]Destiny was rated 6.5/10 for a reason. I want Destiny to improve so I can keep playing, not get worse so I leave, I like the game; I don't love it (currently).[/i]
[b]If you support this, don't JUST vote, bump and comment to get this trending and to stay in the spotlight, a silent vote doesn't work as well.[/b]
Before I start please read this poem to better understand our situation

Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.[/quote]

Destiny is starting to turn out like another major gaming franchise, you all know who I mean. There is no real reason to provide a collectors editon (CE) for Destiny 1 TTK Expansion Edition, however that would be appropriate/acceptable for a Destiny 2. By creating a CE they have introduced un-timed exclusives which isn't smart as lots of the players like to collect stuff even without the vault space to fit it.
Nobody really wanted to pay for this stuff considering long term players have paid more than enough to get up to and including TTK, but because some players don't understand value vs percieved value the community has been slapped in the face with "pay $20 and get 9 items" which is a big microtransaction, if this sort of thing is allowed to stand soon season passes wont allow you to get everything during the 'season'.
Pricing is 100% fine for the physical CE and the legendary edition, they are perfectly priced IMO.
$40 for TTK is not ok when the previous DLC 1&2 were poorly recieved, I understand TTK looks (so far) like it will be awesome, but you DO NOT get to charge this high a price point to CONTINUE after the initial release was a small rock dropped in an ocean and the DLC's were a couple of ripples through the sea.
Charging $20/$25 IMO would be the best price point (the best would be free as a thank you for all the f---ups over the year, but I don't see that happening and don't think it as [i]absolutely [/i]necessary) and this would honestly make a lot of Destiny players feel like you care that they stuck around through all the BS.
[b]Stay strong guardians, protect your light [/b]
[u]PS: A couple things 1.) Deej doesn't make the game and has no (real) power, don't give him a hard time. 2.) ACTIVISION is the publisher; this means they are the ones either soley or mostly responsible for pricing in the game. [/u]

1 ReplyThe sad truth is the only one strong constant this game has had has been its music, yet not one interview of the team behind it nor any mentions of it in any of the posts you or others create, while music may not seem important, the atmosphere it creates when done sell is brilliant, however some pieces get completely missed due to 1, playing as 3 man team n chatting and two due to bring in Said team completing the level too quickly, go back solo every mission turn up the music and enjoy. Or better yet sell me the sound track bungie. It's the only thing you have in your arsenal I will actually pay good money for now.

3 RepliesI just want Bungie to make an edition without the first two expansions.... Says every player ever, I am apart of that player base.

1 ReplyI have to agree with everyone one this post that 40 is pretty step for only one dlc after all most dlcs cost about 20 and those games offer a lot more than TTK is offering bungie should have really put more thought into how their loyal fans of destiny would feel about this pricing plan.

1 ReplyI'm going to judge TTK w more scrutiny. I'll tell u one thing, if ANY of the new "story" missions involve running an old story mission BACKWARDS. .....again? ??? I don't think I could put up w that again. no one is forcing me to play soooooooo it's my fault at the end of the day if I pay for a sub par product. That just tells them "hey,it's fine. Just keep churning out the same uninspired shit and ill keep giving u money". That's how u send a message, not by a thread on a forum. Vote w the wallet if you hear bad things about it. Reviews will be out within a week, I think everyone can wait a few extra days to see if it's good or not

1 ReplyNothing like using literature about human tragedy and intolerance in an attempt to drive your point home about a pricing OPINION related to a video game. You should be very shamed of yourself. I'm ashamed you're a part of this community.

14 RepliesI'm going to get the taken king because I like destiny. It's a fun game to come home to after work and shut my brain off to go shoot aliens with friends. I do care about destiny and that's why I want to get it. If people get it and play it then they can continue to improve the game with the suggestions given and the playing we do as their community

1 Reply$35 is half of a normal priced game. And with both dlcs, I didn't feel like I was purchasing half a game, I felt like I was trying to complete the $60 one I had already bought. And I was still unable to complete it. Destiny at this point is a joke. I only play to keep up with friends from high school. I'm not going to spend $40 for content that I'm sure some of was just kept in reserve to be released at a later date.

This is a great read for this topic, I have put up a few of these excerpts up here for those who are lazy and don't want to visit the article to see it fully :P [quote]It's not hard finding things that are wrong with the video game industry these days. From rip-off DLC to paid-for cheats to games that are sold essentially incomplete, consumers are increasingly getting short shrift.[/quote] [quote]Beyond the immediate benefits to both party's bottom lines, though, there's something more important going on, something that's[b] the real reason preodering a game is so important to them(the company): these companies want you on the hook before anyone has had a chance to warn you off it.[/b][/quote] [quote]And it works, with many games tallying up preorder counts in the [b]millions[/b].[/quote] [quote]This is why. Publishers don't need to sell you on their games, because by slavishly throwing money down before they're even out, [b]you've signalled your intent to take whatever it is they give you.[/b][/quote] [quote][u]It may not be a glorious victory for the consumer in their never-ending struggle to avoid getting -blam!-ed, or stop many of the other major problems this industry saddles us with, but seeing retailers and publishers stage a forced retreat from preorder madness would still be a small victory for the little guy. And a small victory's better than a never-ending streak of losses.[/u][/quote] Credit to Luke Plunkett from Kotaku (5/10/12)

1 Reply[b][UPDATE][/b] [b]We have 400+ votes supporting (currently almost 70% agree) but few likes/upvotes, remember to like the thread to help raise awareness. [/b] I have provided a link to 2 videos for the aware and unaware to watch below, they are brutally accruate if you can take the time to watch, Short video <5min [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etSLbQPzT4o[/url] Longer video (9:00 - 26:00 is Destiny related) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYQrCt_Wpes A quick mention on a couple of things: 1.) VIP rewards actually require you to purchase TTK to get them, so if you didn't want to or for some reason couldn't get TTK but liked Destiny, you WILL NOT get your special snowflake black shader, emblem and sparrow. This is disgusting and a way to make people purchase the expansion, even though TTK looks great you cant announce special s--t for year 1 players but say 'you only get it if you pay'. 2.) [b](IMPORTANT LINK)[/b]After the weekly update we now know absolutely NOTHING more about "something better" except for the fact that it exists. What we DID get was a game trying to sell us even more things with a $20 upgrade fee on top of the $40 if you just like collecting all the in game stuff/want to rock the titan hammer class item for example. Below is link to show you just HOW MUCH value you're getting, credit to Yamidam from Reddit. [url]http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3b2f8y/what_is_20_worth/[/url] 3.) It's great to see people all over the world coming together to share ideas/opinion on the game in a mostly mature manner, please keep it up and be polite to each other. PS: I can't edit my main topic due to mods having edited it, didn't know that was a thing.
