Saw this coming. Despite the fanboys trying to silence anyone who disagrees with what Bungie are doing. Maybe this will wake them up to the reality. For instance when we said tonnes of people quit because the game is confusing and they have deliberately made it hard to just party with random people in game. Fanboys championed LFG and other such sites. Forgetting that you are talking to mainly kids and they shouldn't even be trawling for (or directed to trawl for) people on an external site! No other multiplayer game would direct them to do this it's insane! Then we have players being told what weapons and armour to find relevant. Hu? A game about choice and building OUR legend but, we are constantly told what to do. If we don't do it their way we get forced to by them simply altering the game mechanics or rendering our stuff useless. Who remembers the famous VoG sniper platforms! Those were in the game for a reason i.e. so that you could snipe the oracles and Templar without getting killed needlessly. It was 100% how the encounter was meant to be played (as anyone who played the original will tell you) with the bonus feature that you got an extra chest if you went down and stopped the Templar teleporting. Then, because we all started using the platforms to survive they get restricted to only enemies and we get told "That's not how WE want you to play that encounter". On to weapons. No-one dislikes new weapons. The problem is that they are not introduced in a good way. My old guns don't gradually loose their usefulness as I find new ones of the same level and then better levels. Instead they just suddenly become useless. Suddenly a primary weapon with solar becomes useless because a primary with plain old kinetic has better damage?!?! The only thing that tells me is that I'm trading some extra damage for a less spec'ed gun. It's a sour taste. The new weapon should have BETTER or equal perks not lesser perks but, just more damage. That's not a trade up that's a hollow numbers game! In any other game I would be trading an AR (or whatever) for an AR with a silencer that reduces my radar ping or a sword of lightning + whatever for a higher level sword of fire/lightning/void/whatever + more damage. I never feel that throwing that old sword away (or converting it into parts) is detrimental to my progress. It's stuff like this that is destroying the game for many. It's simple stuff like this that they need to address.

    In a game with limited capital I would say spending capital on cosmetics adds zero gameplay and in my opinion zero value to a game. It would detract from my experience because they could have added more playable content with the time and money they spent (wasted) on making "Americas Top Model - Guardians Edition".

  • Funny, that's exactly what I said people would say. :) In the end, it doesn't [b]ruin [/b]your experience. At most, it may be a dissatisfier to you given how thin the game is on content and knowing that some of the development budget was spent on things you don't agree with.

    Haha. Maybe. I would really be surprised though if you made a post on this and there weren't at least a few people who thought it was the stupidest idea ever.

  • We all want the same things. The bad decisions are simply that "bad" and they can easily be avoided by having someone in charge who actually plays and loves the game like we do

    [quote]We all want the same things.[/quote] Not a chance. Look at these forums! Everyone disagrees with everyone! How can you say that? [quote]The bad decisions are simply that "bad" and they can easily be avoided by having someone in charge who actually plays and loves the game like we do[/quote] They are not bad decisions or even mistakes, they create learning opportunities which will help build this game and make it awesome.

  • I really like Destiny, however you're right. We can only build the legend bungie want us to. Bungie's attitude has been clear since they explained why the loot cave was shut down, "Shooting at a black hole for hours on end isn't our dream for how Destiny is played. "

  • After watching this video, I knew exactly what I was going to post here, then I read your post and feel I have no need to because you have covered all my points and then some. Well said.

  • I feel like they are flailing. I feel like they are imitating what they have seen in MMOs like WoW on the surface but don't fully grasp the thought process or end result that is designed into their changes. Now I say this having not played WoW since the 2nd expansion so they may have gone horribly wrong with it from there, but based on vanilla WoW's original growth this feels like a shoddy misunderstood copy. Like putting on a pair of fake/imitation Oakleys after taking off the real thing. It's close but falls apart quickly.

  • Agree with your weapons comment. One thing all those old specd weapons are good for is PvP. If they want to continue with their current method of introducing new guns, then provide a seperate vault for PvP and one for PvE or at least classify the weapons that way.
