So let me get this right. Destiny does Halloween...
- A pumpkin head consumable (bugged)
- A respawn asthetic consumable (random drop from hive?)
- A few new speeders (same model, new flaming skins and a barrel roll?)
[b]EDIT : [/b]Apparently, not even the Speeders are part of said event (Thanks to Skryblz for the links) :

[b]Is THAT it?[/b]
Are you people freaking KIDDING me?
Okay, okay... let's just take a look around at what other big online social games are doing for this event, shall we?
Start with the big daddy... [b]World of Warcraft[/b]

Yeah, yeah I hear it. But that's a subscription based game! It's not fair to compare!!!
Fine, let's go check out what [b]Guild Wars 2[/b] is up to then. Same as Destiny - Once off purchase + occasional paid DLC...

Still no bites eh? Okay, okay... let's get down to the bottom then on the sliding scale. A FREE to play MMO in [b]Neverwinter![/b]

Are you embarrassed yet Bungie?
Because you god damned well should be.
This is again a clear, shining example of what is WRONG with your game.
THERE IS NO CONTENT!
Your efforts here are so lazy, you shouldn't have even bothered. Yeah, to those who are starving out there for content, your cracker was considered a welcome addition.
But to gamers who are used to better, this is just flat out a pathetic disappointment.
You promoted the crap out of your game as this living, breathing ever evolving world with a 'reason to login' every day and continual flow of content that you 'never get bored'
This is just ridiculous.
Yeah I get that you're not this big MMO experience... you're a 'shared world shooter' and all that.
But you have taken so many design elements from the MMO genre that people seriously cannot tell the difference. A game experience is a game experience and you can say 'we're not X' all you like, if you play down the line like a MMO that's what people are going to compare you to and compared directly to even the most modest shared world social gaming experiences out there, this is yet again just another clear example of how poor your implementation is.
Given that and your own claims on what level of content we [i]should[/i] expect I'm embarrassed for your team that you still just cannot get the basics right.
Oh, I have those expectations wrong? Yeah, some might claim that. People have short memories (especially fanboys who think Bungie can do no wrong) but the weight of your legacy only carries you so far to an objective mind.

'To have enough variety that you'll never get bored' - Christopher Barrett (Art director)
Yeah, your developers. Your claim.
Even free to play games out there on the market are outright EMBARRASSING you on content design and delivery at the moment and even though you are getting masses of 'feedback' here, you keep making the same mistakes, over and over again.
Well yeah... I'm 'over' it as well.
Your effort for Halloween [b]SUCKS.[/b]
There's 'feedback' for your team.
Happy Halloween.

Dont forget League of Legends. And it's free to play! :)
-
Nobody even knows how to get the sparrows either
-
To be fair the game is just released about 2 months , they need to focus on other aspects of the game ,rather than place silly holiday items
-
stop moaning you bellends// Destiny is a brand new game, they havnt had time to mess around with massive things like that you dumbasses, christmas time will be a big thing but for now little halloween treat is enough to make all of us happy, stupid girls crying jesus, if you dont like the game then why are you playing it?? RETARDS CLEARLY

Edited by Skryblz: 10/31/2014 6:28:40 PMThe speeders aren't for Halloween they say. http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76189795/0 http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76192083/0/0 http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/76196941/0/0 I'm still "looking" though, but I'm out of pumpkins.

Its not an MMO. Seriously, why would people expect more? Its like you want to play a game you paid 60 dollars for and get extended content for every event and holiday. Thats NOT A SUSTAINABLE MODEL. This game may be buy to play but it lacks a cash shop and other things to fund persistent content. They fragged up the story. We dont need resources being allocated to shitty events and screwing up any decent story the game may have planned just because you wanted more shitty holiday events
-
i agree. its just another way bungie shows they have no clue wtf they are doing with destiny.
-
Comments saying the game has been out only for two months are, at least I think, a little bit skewed. Yes the argument can be made that its only been out that amount of time, but Bungie must have had an idea of when it would release. With such a close time frame to Halloween, they would've/should've already had content planned and made for the release. This last minute scramble seems to just epitomize the content issue and lack for planning/foresight by Bungie. I'm sorry but its either A) they didn't care about the content so it was never done originally prior to release, or B) the game wasn't actually done when they released it (hence all the general content issues) and now we're starting to see the fruits of that lack of labor.

Minecraft putbpumpkins on zombie pigmen, why cant destiny put on pumpkins
-
Let's add up how long those other games you mentioned have been out and compare that to 6 weeks.
-
REBUMP
-
My pumpkin heads didn't work at all
-
Where are the new speeders?
-
This whole post is rediculous. You're actually complaining about Halloween freebies... And comparing a game that's been out two months to games that have been around for literally YEARS. Some of them have been out for a decade!! "I don't want to eat at [awesome restaurant] because McDonalds has a play area"
-
Even Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare did it better. Much better. Oh, and that game is a better PvP experience than Destiny too. Much, much better.
-
They dont have time to do much with Halloween with Guy Fawkes Night only a week away!
-
I'd imagine you're the kind of kid at christmas who asks "That's it?" when you're done opening presents.
-
WOW fag ha
-
I like this.
-
Holiday events are unnecessary at the moment, I see no point in getting all raddled up in an even that we will not see again until next year, now at this moment in time we another patch to patch the patch the broke the raid (made it super frustrating). And nooooo I don't care that Atheon is unable to be pushed off the edge, there's just an increase amount of glitches that came with this recent patch...
-
Dude. Bump the -blam!- outta this. It would've been less of a disappointment if they'd done nothing. Game Devs have done less and not gotten this much flak, and it has a lot to do with this dude DeeJ talking every week about how committed they are to the long haul. This is all just marketing. There's no truth to the words.
-
I agree
-
Well said!
-
-blam!- u bungie ... U suck ass just like ur game
-
A wall of text outlining why the Halloween event sucks? Good lord this forum...

Did know one else hear the chick screaming in the background last night? -Was playing weekly nightfall and I heard a women screaming for her life over and over?
