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.

He better hope his new raid is badass or he will have these words thrown back in his face like he wants us to throw money at the screen.
-
That's not arrogance, that's the truth.
-
He does seem cocky and arrogant, but whatever. People are the way they are. I can also be a critical jackass. Part of me enjoys playing Devil's advocate and making you feel like an idiot for wanting to spread fairy tale positivity. It's a part of who I am. His mouthy arrogance is a part of who he is. So what. I'm sure he'd be a good friend and I'm sure he isn't stupid and not satisfied by how unsatisfied we are as gamers.
-
whats sad is, people are actually going to do it
-
What's being done for people who paid $80 for ttk digital ce edition reference 24JUN15 weekly update?
-
I love Luke Smith In one of his interviews he said You're gonna be doing some real gangsta shit
-
Luke Smith is awesome as füćk
-
It seems people just hate this guy to have someone to hate. Is it just me?
-
I still have 3 new subclasses to unlock and level up! That'll be a week or 2 I'm sure by that time it will be available I'm sure. Vault wasn't ready at launch.
-
Lol, when you "[b]Bought[/b]" Destiny the Vault of Glass wasn't there until 2 weeks after it launched
-
People are too sensitive, it's sad. Who gets offended by stuff like this? Lol

Edited by BunkerGATE13: 8/31/2015 8:05:44 PMHe doesn't seem like a very good talker.. As in- he doesn't censor himself like a boss
-
Any serious raider would want the raid to be released at a later date rather than on day one. This is a very smart move by bungie.
-
Everyone complaining there isn't going to be a raid on day 1 in a nutshell.
-
This is not new vanilla destiny u had to wait a month for vault of glass. then the dark below u had to wait 2 weeks for hard mode. its nothing new quit ur bitching people gotta get used to the new mechanic quit crying over nothing
-
Uh oh... Does Luke know you're unhappy? I'm sure he'd step up if he knew it was you...
-
No. It's what people who would rather play destiny do Some people are dumb
-
Edited by n3cw4rr10r: 8/31/2015 7:04:52 PMAre you mad because you dont have a job to take off from? or because your parents wont let you ditch school....?
-
Because I was definitely playing VoG and CE hard at launch..
-
WHY ARE PEOPLE MAD ABOUT THIS WHEN VAULT OF GLASS CAME A WEEK LATER AS WELL. NOBODY WAS MAD ABOUT THAT.
-
VoG wasnt available day 1 CE wasnt available day 1. Yet for some reason idiots still thought that the new raid would be available day 1
-
Edited by S0ulBearer: 8/31/2015 6:35:47 PMYou are an idiot, and all this Luke Smith hate from the 12 year olds is pathetic.
-
The VoG was exactly the same? Can't tell if you're serious or being a Troll.
-
If you wait to buy the DLC when the raid is available, you will have to spend time leveling up, getting the new gear, beating all the story missions, and then find someone willing to carry a newb through the raid. That logic tho.
-
lol, whats funny is people were on here bragging about how they took the day off, and now they cant run the raid
-
Edited by SkaTerDaF: 8/31/2015 6:58:52 PMHahaha so you won't buy it til the raid is released....then you will buy it and have to play for 2 weeks before anyone wants you in their raid party. You're smart....
