Luke Smith, please keep this guy and his arrogance away from the media:
[ NOTE During a livestream for Destiny: The Taken King, Bungie has announced that you can play the new anticipated endgame raid, titled King’s Fall, on September 18 at 10:00 AM PT.]
“I’m not going to announce the plan for it on the YouTube gaming stage…But I promise for people who are excited about the raid will know when it’s time to take time off work. We’ll give em’ a heads up”.
Unlike nearly almost every other game that comes with the endgame content when you buy it, TTK will not.
I will buy the DLC, maybe, when the Raid is available, or simply wait so long that I play one of the other games being released in the fall.
Edit 1: I have a different opinion, or mode of business operation, than some of you. My principle is that I expect to get what I paid for, when I paid for it. Or, tell me ... Upfront ... what will be held back., not after the fact. Got it! Some of you operate your business exchanges in a different fashion, giving your trading partner as much leeway as possible.
Edit 2: Seems like I should assume Destiny is an MMO, because it is and that is how MMO's operate, even though no one from Bungie has described Destiny as an MMO, nor, said that we shouldn't expect the principle endgame Raid of a product many of your pre-ordered (I did not) when you pre-ordered it. Got it! This is simply the MMO model.
Edit 3: Luke Smith is joking and making light of the fact that many of you arrange your work schedule around a video game so he is actually helping you out. Even though, when he will tell you, and the length of leeway time he will give you is uncertain. Moreover, he cannot tell you now if the endgame Raid will be added in one, two or three weeks. Got it! Luke is helping many of you. I can appreciate this point.
Edit 4: Video games take a lot of planning and investment and it is a miracle that they get released on time with as few bugs as they do. So, just be patient and do the missions until the endgame Raid is available. Got it. Best argument said by a few very respectful fellow Guardians
Edit 5: I know they followed this procedure with VoG and Crota, but many would argue it was less about taking out bugs (because their was still plenty) and more about Bungie dictating how players play.
Edit 6: I don't hate the game. I have many, many hours into Destiny and just want the game to improve and for Bungie to keep their word. Not a lot to ask. I appreciate the positive changes such as the improved story / missions in HoW and the addition of ToO. Let's not forget, however, that HoW was sold to include a Raid that was removed and included a PoE Horde mode that was repetitive and had horrible rewards.Destiny will not get better if we as players do not BOTH: 1) applaud the good and 2) call out the bad, or broken promises.
Conclusion: I get where a lot of people are coming from, but Bungie seems to shoot from the hip a lot and say one kind one day (such as weapons growing with us and a Raid in HoW) and then something different another day. For me, they are consistently flakey, with their word not meaning much, for example how HoW would have so much variety and great rewards.

A: lots of games with raids will delay their release by a week or two. heck, VoG didn't even release at launch. B: Luke was making a joke. A JOKE!
-
he was joking............do you not understand sarcasm?
-
Question: In the weekly update they said something along the lines of "to access endgame content you must first beat oryx" yeah? So with the delayed raid does that mean just the story missions will be available? I'm still buying TTK. I'm just curious, not salty:P
-
So you will buy the DLC when the raid is available yeah? And do what exactly? Spend about a week or 2 levelling up your characters and gearing up to face the raid? You could have done that when the DLC launches and be prepared for the raid as soon as it drops.. But no... You have to jump on the bandwagon along with 90% of the community and shot on Bungie as always... Get a grip man and grow up.
-
How is that arrogant? Do you know what arrogant means?
-
... ffxiv's expansion had a 2 week delay on the raid ircc.
-
pmsl are you like this all the time ? it must be a very difficult life
-
Maybe they found out you could just push Oryx off a cliff so how they have to redo the map
-
Raids are always delayed . Get with the program
-
All you guys complaining about this have zero clue about what you're even bitching about.
