It isn't just a Blacksmith Shader thing. It's a DLC code thing. All DLC codes are console specific. If you upgrade consoles, it will not carry over. The same goes for the Gamestop Red Sparrow, the Frontier Ghost Shell... any item that you used a console specific code to get. There's nothing to be done about it. Now, if you are complaining that you simply switched from one PS3 to another PS3, then you should be able to just restore your licenses to get it. If this is the case, log on your PS3 on the account that originally redeemed the code, [i]even if that account is not the one you actually use to play Destiny.[/i]. Then, following the directions in this article should resolve your issue: https://www.bungie.net/en/Help/Article/12181

  • It's still a code thing that Bungie refuses to acknowledge, and I'm tired of the answers that are given. That's a big problem, especially since isn't the shader on the actual base game itself? That means not only is it locked out, that's locked out disc based content.

    [quote]It's still a code thing that Bungie refuses to acknowledge,[/quote]Bungie has acknowledged it, and did so very early on in Destiny's lifespan. They simply didn't give you the answer you wanted to hear. I understand that might be frustrating, but there's nothing to be done about it. [quote]especially since isn't the shader on the actual base game itself? [/quote]So is Dust Palace, but Xbox users can't have that either way. So are a lot of things in a lot of games. That's how things work. Just curious. Can you name any specific DLCs in any PS3 or Xbox 360 game that could only be obtained through a console specific code and carried over to the next gen consoles? I always assumed it was just a matter of that is how the consoles worked on Sony and Microsoft's end, but it would be interesting if it were otherwise.

  • That's not acknowledging it, that's throwing a problem under the bus. I've been busy with moving, so even if I did this holiday 2014, I bet you still they will do nothing. It's literally disgusting. But that's exclusive content, the shader is available for everyone. That's the problem, you can't think of anything because not many people would do that, since DLC is packed up with it's newer version. Destiny however, shouldn't be known to do that, it's literally a Capcom move, to describe it, and I know the majority hated that.

    [quote]That's not acknowledging it,[/quote]Uh... yeah, that's acknowledging it. [quote]even if I did this holiday 2014, I bet you still they will do nothing.[/quote]Well... yeah. People have talked about this since September 2014. And Bungie has given the same answer. That's how the codes work. There really isn't any issue there. [quote]But that's exclusive content, the shader is available for everyone.[/quote]The shader is exclusive content to the console it was redeemed on. Besides, you just a minute ago said the problem was that it was content on the disk that you do not have access to, which makes it wrong. Which is the same as Playstation exclusives, plain and simple, yes? I don't really understand myself how the Dust Palace strike is not disk locked content for Xbox users. [quote]That's the problem, you can't think of anything because not many people would do that, since DLC is packed up with it's newer version. Destiny however, shouldn't be known to do that, it's literally a Capcom move, to describe it, and I know the majority hated that.[/quote]I dunno. I was of the mind that I can't think of any because it doesn't exist- because that isn't how console specific codes work. There's no reason for Bungie to make a decision like that, which likely means it is something out of their control. And it isn't like they are the ones generating codes- they don't distribute them. They aren't involved in the process at all. Which makes me think this is very misplaced anger, unfortunately.

    There is an issue here, that's locking out content to [b]everyone[/b] who is in the same boat as me. We shouldn't have to get another damn code because Bungie thinks their answer is the right one. No, company exclusivity, while stupid, is not the same as a cosmetic that's locked on disc. That's literally a whole different topic/problem with games in this age, but the shader is on all versions of the game, [b]it is not the same[/b]. You can't think of any because Bungie is [b]the[/b] first offenders to this problem. And don't tell me they can't distribute codes, that's a load of feces, if Gamestop, Sony, and Activision can't do anything about it, then Bungie is in control with the codes, hence E3, Snapchat, the art contest, [b]the charity streams[/b]. This anger is in the right place, and I'm literally done because this is literally a simple fix.

  • [quote]We shouldn't have to get another damn code because Bungie thinks their answer is the right one.[/quote]You're making an assumption that this is a choice Bungie consciously made, which we have no reason to believe and plenty of reason to disbelieve it. [quote]No, company exclusivity, while stupid, is not the same as a cosmetic that's locked on disc. [/quote]You're right. However, company exclusivity, while stupid, is the same as [i]content[/i] that is locked on disk. Which is what you were originally talking about. Changing your word of 'content' to 'cosmetics' does not change the argument. At that point you are saying that the principle of the thing isn't the issue, and the only issue is actually just whether or not you personally can have that content. Which leads met o question the basis of your complaint in the first place. You aren't arguing based off a principle- you're arguing based off of... I suppose it's angst, or something. [quote]And don't tell me they can't distribute codes, that's a load of feces,[/quote]Now this one I can tell you with absolute certainty, rather than on an educated guess, that you are definitely wrong on. Codes are generated by entities other than the developer, and for contests and the likes, the simple fact is that a certain amount of codes are simply allocated to the developer for that purpose. So... misplaced anger, yeah. [quote] if Gamestop, Sony, and Activision can't do anything about it, then Bungie is in control with the codes, [/quote]I'm not entirely certain why you are so quick to believe that the company that creates the codes cannot get codes but are certain that the developer, who has nothing to do with the process and likely nothing to do with the fact that codes are console specific, is lying. Seems pretty close minded, to me. And points to your anger being misplaced, unfortunately.

  • Then why don't they comment on it? It doesn't take them that long. No, now you're twisting my words, because it's still principle. Plus, I do not know how things work with the Xbox versions of the game, but saying this is out of angst is disrespectful. If that's true, then why would Activision turn me away? It's a shady practice, and since this is a item of [b]their[/b] game, one would think to take the issue to them. Again, not misplaced, it's right on the nose, especially when I keep getting redirected here of all places. Sorry, but you're wrong, if they couldn't do anything for me, then guess who can, the people who made the thing in the first place. I have nothing more to say because this is down right ridiculous that this is being defended.

    [quote]Then why don't they comment on it? It doesn't take them that long.[/quote]You linked them commenting on it themselves. [quote]No, now you're twisting my words, because it's still principle.[/quote]Me? I didn't twist anything. You said, and I quote, "That's a big problem, especially since isn't the shader on the actual base game itself? That means not only is it locked out, that's locked out[b] disc based content."[/b] Then you tried to twist [i]your[/i] words to say 'cosmetics.' Meaning that for you, it is a matter of degree, not of principle. For you, the issue is not the act itself, but simply the fact that [i]you[/i] are not benefiting. Which again, leads to the questioning of the basis of your claim. [quote] If that's true, then why would Activision turn me away? [/quote]Because this is how things work, it is a silly thing to be angry about, and the customer support representative did not want to deal with it, I suppose? [quote]It's a shady practice, [/quote]Not really. They have been very upfront about it. [quote] and since this is a item of their game, one would think to take the issue to them.[/quote]It isn't an issue with the game. It's an issue of you not liking that codes Microsoft has generated are console specific. [quote] Sorry, but you're wrong,[/quote]Mmm, I suppose you're welcome to believe that, but it really would just mean you've been wrong twice instead of once, so I wouldn't insist upon it myself. [quote]if they couldn't do anything for me, then guess who can, the people who made the thing in the first place. [/quote]Or nobody, since it isn't an issue in the first place. Just a thought.

  • It's as if you're trolling, but in the most sensible and entertaining way I've ever seen. Debate Team Captain.
