Luke Smith Arrogance: "Sure, let me know when to take off work, Luke"

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.

  • At launch we all paid for the VoG, and that didn't come out until a few weeks after the game was released.

      • Destiny originally launched without a raid. You still bought it, and apparently its still the best raid in the game. Give them time to make it great.

          Whilst I agree that many will not take a day off simply for the raid (I will for my daughter's first day of school though...), many people certainly will. Fair play to them if they want to. Just look at the VoG and CE raids. How many went into the Vault as soon as they were able? Loads. So what if it isn't available straight away? If you have the expansion, you will get the raid once it's been released. Why try to complete everything on the first day with months to complain about no more content to complete?

        • In that case I pray they release the Raid for you a year late. That way the rest of the community can enjoy this wonderful game without your griping. Thanks pumpkin. :D

          • Destiny vanilla did not ship with a raid. TDB did. Remember how cheesy it was day one? PoE doesn't count. What does this tell you? The best thing in Destiny came 2 weeks after release. Game delays normally mean that it wasn't going to be up to their standards in time for the deadline. So, this means we will be getting a less buggy, and more polished raid.

          • Lol did you join at Christmas or something? Every dlc that has been released so far has had a timed raid release, allowing all players, not just the no-lives to get ready for the raid before it is launched and al get an equal chance to play it at the same time with the right gear. For this raid you are starting again, all of your gear is useless, you have a new super and there's a whole new story to complete. You are not gonna be at the right stage to even think about completing the raid till at least two weeks after the dlc has been released unless you are so sad that you play the game all ducking day every day.

          • In his defence, this morning there was a topic created by someone who [b]demanded[/b] to know the exact date that The Kings Fall raid become available so that he could book time off work in advance. While most Destiny players aren't going to plan their whole entire lives around the availability of Destiny's most recent raid it should be noted that the most hardcore Destiny fans do give a shit and want to know when it drops so that they can take the day off.

          • I understand your discontent with Luke Smith and that is your opinion which you are entitled to. As far as the raid being a week from the release is fine man. Take a week get your character or characters to level 40 get some new gear and weapons so when the raid is released it you will be ready instead of just going in day one and can't even get past the first part because the enemies are that much stronger.

          • This is how you can tell that all the day one players are mainly gone. They did this when destiny came out. You get the raid a couple weeks after the release and then you get the hard mode a little while after that.
