The Taken King for Non-US Players

Edit: Hit up this post as well please, guys. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/147761652/0/0/1 I and many others (including quite a few in the States) want a simple answer, Bungie. Why are you discriminating against non-US players? The world has an exchange rate. $1 does not equal £1 or €1. In my case (UK), you would be charging us almost double for the same amount of content as U.S. players. There is simply no excuse for this. I could buy the Legendary Edition with everything to date in it, with a physical disc and box, and have it delivered to my house, for £43. How do you possibly justify this? TTK should cost me £25 at most. That's a reasonable DLC price. This is not a full game, it's a DLC. Saying it's all about value is a bunch of bull, because you've valued it in the U.S. at £25 ($40). This is plain greed, and the worst part about it is that you simply do not care that you are driving away huge numbers of fans because of it. I have played Destiny since Day 1. In truth, I've never had truly unbelievable fun with it (due to a pretty shocking lack of content), but it's something to hop into and burn some time. I would like to get and play TTK, I really would, partly because it looks like a step toward what we should have gotten in the first place. But charging this much for it is just wrong, and to make it worse you don't even talk about it. People without TTK are going to be locked out and left behind as content is switched over to TTK and new weapons and gear make us obsolete. This is not a subscription based game, yet you treat it like it is, demanding (if the current model continues) about £75 per year to play for a year. We purchased a product from you that was incomplete. You have been dishonest, arrogant and downright disrespectful to the community that has kept you afloat (you sure as Hell didn't do it on rave reviews). A lot of people would like to continue with this game, myself included, but it simply isn't going to happen currently. I'm in the fortunate position that I can afford TTK quite easily, and if I knew I could trust you to deliver something actually worth it, I would purchase. But I can't. I don't trust you, Bungie, and you make it harder and harder to almost daily. Even if you could prove this was worth £40, it still wouldn't solve the problem, because our U.S. peers would still be getting the same amount of content for half the price, on top of all these other bonuses you are setting up that are U.S. only. You are more or less sweeping everything and everyone who partook in this first year under the rug. You don't talk to us beyond cryptic and infrequent paragraphs. You ignore some of our heartfelt requests for game changing improvements. You've have, quite simply, abandoned the people that allow you to keep making games. All I want, Bungie, is answers and some solid justification. None of this evasive developer speak that doesn't answer the question. A real answer. If you dropped the price, you'd get a lot more sales. At the minute, it's just bad business, and I simply cannot understand why a company, why you as gamers yourselves, would think this is an acceptable practice. Frankly, you should be ashamed of yourselves for treating your players this way. If anyone agrees with this, please sign or bump. Thank you to all who have bumped and continue to show support. Edit: 146 likes and 317 responses, Bungie. Edit 2: Not a peep on this issue, Bungie. That is just disgusting. You're ripping people off and don't even the stones to justify it. Greed, plain and simple.

  • We are also punished in matchmaking...no region matchmaking and filling games with 70% USA players gives them the lag advantage. I'm not against other nationalities as I am sure they are not against us...but regional matchmaking would make everyone's game experience better. Oh and regional pricing fairly too....don't want to get off topic!

  • Man, I feel sorry for you guys across seas, I was pissed having to pay $140. I don't want to sound like a jerk when I say this, but just don't buy TTK, it's really not that great. The loot system is broken, making it impossible to level up, all our year one weapons were made obsolete, and the crucible is just a mess of laggers, and glitchers. Some of that may be fixed in the upcoming Spring update, but if they are not, I would not bother paying money for TTK. Just my opinion though.

    • Guys, bump this up. In the Limited Software License Agreement for Destiny, which all of us agreed to by playing the game, the following is stated in the Changes To The Agreement section: [quote]If any future changes to this Agreement are unacceptable to you or cause you to no longer be in compliance with this Agreement, you may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund in accordance with this Agreement[/quote] What I think this means is that when Bungie next change the agreement, so long as you [b]DO NOT PLAY OR UPDATE DESTINY[/b] following a change to the agreement, you are fully entitled to a refund.

            • Speaking on behalf of the British gamers out there, I think ignoring the exchange rate is a slap in the face. If you speak to an American about the pricing s/he might say something along the lines of [i]"Jeez it's only $40 just get a job"[/i]. This is as annoying as it is ignorant. If you bought the game on Day One along with all 3 DLC's, by now you will have spent £140. [i]But[/i] if you bought them in America, you would have spent a mere $140. The difference is [b]huge.[/b] That equates to over $217 (a difference of $77). UK gamers have to pay 150% of what others do just because of where they live. Sort your game out BungieVision, you're a disgrace.

              • 100% feel the same way and in the same boat. If the price is dropped quickly i may retain interest but in all likely hood by the time it does i will be invested in all the other great games that will be out at around the same price. I enjoyed the social aspect and it was a time killer but nothing to keep me hooked. All you had to do to keep me as a customer Bungie was acknowledge my purchases and price the taken king at a reduced price. $70 is not a reduced price. That's the same price as I'm paying for games like fallout 4. It's very unfortunate but for me at least this is goodbye. You're talented folks but you have lost any goodwill you had with me. All the best for the future Bungie. Hope you get your balls back and tell the publisher how it is and not the other way round. You're the talent not them.

                    • I love ttk, but this is so weird. What would it cost in Japan? 40 yen? Mexico? 40 pesos? How can they ignore exchange rates like that?

                          • Yes. That is normally the case. However, they have said everything leading up this expansion is now irrelevant... Sorry "nostalgic". Content that you used to be able to do, is now locked behind an impenetrable wall, $40 thick... It can also be stated as a total of $140 thick for those of us who blindly preordered vanilla. It's the same stupidity that locked people, who didn't buy TDB or HoW, out of the weekly and Nightfall should one of their maps be the strike for that week. What TTK does is exactly that... permanently! PLUS says to anyone who chooses not to expand the "EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING IS POINTLESS. You cannot reach level 40 and you can no longer enjoy any of the "dynamic" end-game content the base game had to offer, save the laggy mess that is the crucible...If your into that sort of thing." Basically: Not willing to continue to pay us? Then Buzz off!" No one is saying they should get free expansion content... Unless you were one of many who preordered vanilla and have to pay literally twice the amount and let's not forget those poor bastards over seas paying 2.6 times what a newbie does... People are complaining about what I explained in paragraph one. Make sense, friends?

                          • I replied in another thread about this with the same thing, I'm from the U.S. and the overseas pricing is BULLSHIT. Period. It's bad enough all the other stuff they have done but if I feel like ttk is a ripoff, I can't even imagine how you all feel. Bungie are -blam!-ing up, man.
