It were years since the last time Bungie actracted so much negative publicity on them. I suppose they must be proud of themselves at this point...

80 RepliesIt's time to bail. Y'all did this. I never wanted microtransactions. I wanted a videogame, not a cashshop. I'll pay for a game, but not microtransactions. You want this system? Then that's what they'll give you. Game has changed. They've made it into a mobile free to try version with microtransactions not associated with the game. I'm just here to play a game. This is not it. If you like it, stay and let them milk you. If you don't, it's time to bail. This game won't change, it's a Milking Cow. I also want transmog and shaders, but not like this. Let's bail. It's time to go.

21 RepliesEdited by MagicalTaco117: 4/25/2021 2:28:08 PMHere’s my really simple and easy take on this fiasco. This should work for both sides of the argument If you actually paid for the game and expansions: all armor you unlocked is available for transmog and 100% available free of charge or materials. Make your guardian the way you like, like other games allow you to. If you’re a free to play player: you get what Bungie is currently offering. Bungie needs to make money to support staff and game development. You’re playing for free. You want to make your space wizard look cooler, you can buy/grind the cosmetics and materials to do that. Simple. If you have PAID FOR THE GAME, you deserve everything the game has because the already bought it. If you didn’t, you have to buy it.

I'm sure they are listening, we can expect a fix in mid 2025

Eh they'll make some other worthless promise and people will defend them and say everything is great again. It's a cycle with this worthless game.

Edited by BigTexB007: 4/26/2021 7:28:43 AMIt’s comical to watch Bungie shit the bed harder and harder as time marches on. Honestly whoever is making decisions over there could give Tugg Speedman’s portrayal in “Simlple Jack” a run for his money. Bungie you Fuh-Fuh-Fuh-Fuh-cking suck! In addition dmg is about the most worthless video game community manager to ever and will likely ever exist. Biotch aziz tweet after biotch azz tweet. “Thanks for your feedback. Especially those keeping it respectful.” Listen Dick Lick, when the company you represent makes moves that shows that you DO NOT respect your paying consumers, you don’t deserve a respectful response. You deserve every ounce of vitriol you get thrown your way because you don’t blantanly disrespect your customers. The fact that you’re too Simple Jack to know that, that your sheer stupidity is just that HUGE just furthers my overall dislike of you, my resentment of the shitty job you do, and hope you jog the -blam!- on to some other bulls shit job you suck at in the hopes that Bungie will replace you with someone who has an iota of competency. This guy. I swear this guy...

1 ReplyAnd Bungie isn't even trying to do damage control. Not surprising. Anyone they send to try and quell this is going to get eaten alive.

1 ReplyEdited by WulfPak666: 4/25/2021 3:16:25 PMI honestly wouldn't mind any of this if the game was actually F2P But they already hitting you with $50 for an expansion and another $30 for the season pass. Then it'll cost like $30 just to Transmog 2 armor sets from armor I already paid for in an earlier expansion 🤷 Bungie is the king at making you pay for stuff you've already paid for so I'll give em that much. 🤣

Stopped playing Destiny 2 this season because I was tired of the grind. I considered coming back next season up until I read the TWAB and saw what a nightmare this setup is, this should never have been an acceptable solution. Bungie, are you that desperate for cash you need to screw over your loyal players? (Are you EA / Activision?)
-
1 ReplyI’m so thankful for youtubers so that they can teach me how to think about stuff 😜

3 RepliesTransmog hasn't been implemented yet and I'm sure they'll make changes after this severe backlash. People are acting like it's already here. I read somewhere that they are listening but no guarantees any change is imminent. I'm sure they'll find a compromise.

1 ReplyEither this system makes bungie design cool armor or they gonna make ugly ornaments in the season pass an try to make us spend money on the cool armor that comes with each season.

I mean, YongYea produces terrible, clickbait content with nothing of substance to add . . . But in this case, he's right.

- First they get the things - Then they turn them in for another thing that requires them to stand on one leg - Then they turn those in for another thing that requires them to stand on one leg and hop around - Then they turn those in for another thing that requires them to stand on one leg, hop around, and spin - Then they turn those in for something they already paid or grinded for - Then we raise the price on colors - And they can pay us IRL money to do this more often lolololol Bungie: "They're gonna LOVE this! :D" [i]* pat themselves on the back[/i]

13 RepliesWhy do people hate this? Transmog is a very nice addition to the game.

15 RepliesI've got halfway through the video and he is 100% correct about Bungie's manipulations. Playing stupid as if they made a mistake and are really taking feedback into consideration. It's annoying how Bungie has become a compulsive liar. They have done this a few times in D2. Pretending they made a "mistake" so the unsuspecting players will fall for it and their Bungie fans will feel sorry for them 🤦♂️ Yeah, hiring professionals to do their job as they did in Y1 to manipulate loot boxes, and other things in the game besides the transmog system that they get paid well to do so is a "mistake, only when the community calls Bungie out on their BS? This Bungie is disgusting pulling the cheap tactics that they do that they can't even be called Bungie anymore.
-
It's a conspiracy, they are all in cahoots with each other for the clicks and views. Bungie manufacrured the fake outrage, suddenly they'll "fix" it without actually doing anything again and get praise like last time with sunsetting.
-
That they thought of this system as anything positive reveals what they really think of their player base. Greedy, malcontent children they should be ‘allowed’ only so much. Don’t get me wrong, we totally are exactly that sometimes! But you should never do anything that disrespects the customers time in such a way.
-
2 RepliesWhat’s really scummy about all this is they said you’re ok to delete armor because if it’s in your collections you can transmog it. So I deleted a ton of shit for that reason. Bungie is a piece of used toilet paper.
-
8 RepliesAll armor....currently unlocked in my collections....and yours....should immediately become available for application...once transmog releases. No hamster wheel, no grinding...simply available for use....immediately.
