DCV: Why?

I know, I know, "yoU AgReeD tO TeRMs oF SerViCe, aND iT's buNgIE's GamE, sO tHey Do whAt tHeY wANt" Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm not trying to hear that noise DCV sucks! Could someone explain to me how this isn't just a rip off to get you to keep buying stuff by taking away the stuff you already bought? I want to play the Leviathan raid again I want to do raid layers again I want to play a lot of stuff that Bungie 'reclaimed' for reproposing again [u][b]STUFF HAS TO GO INTO THE DCV BECAUSE THE FILES WOULD BE TOO BIG AND TAKE UP ALL YOUR MEMORY[/b][/u] Bull-Sh!t! I've got plenty of memory, Destiny is the only game I play. If I wanna fill my drive with things I bought I should be able to. Why does Bungie get to justify taking your raids and raid layers by saying 'Well, we don't want to use up all your memory, were doing this for you' Bull sh!t! Even if Xbox has a limitation on how large a game file can be, let us pick what we want. Never play crucible - uninstall Done with the campaign - uninstall Don't like gambit - uninstall Not going to play VoG for awhile but do want to do an old raid layer - uninstall Boom, now you got room for the old stuff you paid for Sure, it'd be a pain in the butt to uninstall things you're not using to install old stuff, but if memory IS the real issue, having to uninstall VoG to install Leviathan and vise versa would be a small price to pay in order to play something you bought again. If file size is the issue, give us the limit and let us pick from all the things WE PAID FOR what we want to fill the file with. Most people finish the campaign and do go back to it. Well alright, if memory's the problem let us uninstall Witch Queen, install and replay Red War. Uninstall Red War, install Forsaken. Uninstall Forsaken, install Shadow keep. That would solve the memory problem, wouldn't it? The memory excuse is a BS smokescreen anyway. Did you know that season of the splicer maps are still on your harddrive taking up space? Look on YouTube. People have glitched into the area. It's still on your harddrive, you just no longer can access it. If we can't play it because it's a past season, take out of the game and replace that memory space with a raid layer we paid for and want to replay. I mean, if the real reason our stuff's in the DCV is memory, why is stuff we can't access still there? Memory's not the issue. Taking away things to do so you buy the new stuff is! [u][b]WELL, THE ENGINE'S NOT THAT GOOD AND CAN'T HANDLE THE OLD RAIDS AND LAYERS AND ALL THE NEW STUFF TOO.[/b][/u] Bull-sh!t! I mean, somebody want to explain that to me? If I'm playing VoG what in the heel difference does it make if the Leviathan and raid and raid layers are on my hard-drive or not? I'm not accessing them when I'm playing VoG, so wtf? What does having access to play something else affect the 'engine' when I'm NOT playing it. Would having all the old raids and layers lower the quality of my crucible game somehow? Does having DSC affect my gambit games? Does anything I'm NOT playing affect what I AM playing Of course not! Seriously, this is just a BS excuse to take our stuff away to get us to buy new stuff. "We have to put stuff in the DCV because the things you AREN'T playing negatively affect the thing you ARE playing" Yeah. Right. DCV is BS. If it's a memory thing, let us uninstall things we're not using to install the things we bought and want to replay... BUT IT'S NOT. If it's a, well, our engine sucks thing, and you can only have so many things you're NOT playing before it affects what you ARE playing, why didn't you come out with D3? BECAUSE IT'S NOT! It's a scam to remove stuff you bought, stuff to do, so you keep buying. Period! It just makes me sad that I'll never do all the fun things again with my friends because Bungie decided to 'Reclaim' it. Makes financial sense though. I, mean, Why let us play stuff we already paid for when they can take it away and get us to buy and buy and buy? Gross

  • bungie stated they are no longer vaulting anything, and alot of the memory space issues were because sony was limiting how much space they were alotted before they purchased bungie so that limit has probably gone up significantly so it wouldn't be a far stretch to see it all come back to a degree

  • Because it was necessary so that they could continue to add new content to the game, yet have it still run on obsolete hardware like ps4 and XB1. CD Projekt Red is dropping support for last Gen consoles when the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion comes out next year. Because the game can barely run on these platforms right now.

    • Tbh it should be an option to be able to download everything that's been put in the dcv as long as you have the memory extra

      • This is literally the whiniest post I’ve seen this season, and let me remind you we’ve had countless sweats crying about Control the entire season so far, and the usual “Warlock *insert element 3.0* is so much worse” stuff we’ve gotten with every new 3.0 It’s actually impressive you’ve come off more annoying, petulant, and obnoxious than anyone else so far this season.

        • It's not about the space on your hard drive but about the engine being able to support such a massive game. When D2 was created it was supposed to last for three years. The seasonal model wasn't even planned. They only came up with it after the release of Vanilla D2.

        • You know, they already announced they realized their mistake, and will no longer be vaulting content. Also, unlike other MMORPGs, Destiny wasn't built to be support endless content, unlike games like WoW. But to be fair, if you feel you are being robbed because old content very few people play is being taken away, then I can only imagine how you react when OS are considered out of date, or old consoles that we paid for are no longer supported. It's called progress - it's inevitable.

            • [quote]If it's a memory thing, let us uninstall things we're not using to install the things we bought and want to replay...[/quote]The game engine just isnt designed for this, it would require a complete overhaul to make this work. The game is currently an all or nothing download. Even if you are a free to play player, every dlc, every weapon, every location, is still loaded on your system when you download it. Buying the content just grants access to the content. They have already made updates to the engine to no longer need to add anything else to the dcv. the stuff that is in there will be updated and brought back at some point, they have already shown they are doing it. The raids that are now in the vault will be brought back, as they have done with the d1 stuff that is in there. As to your other comments like this is the only game you play and you are fine with it taking up your whole drive, that is not true of most players, so Bungie did what they felt was best for the majority.

              • [quote]Could someone explain to me how this isn't just a rip off to get you to keep buying stuff by taking away the stuff you already bought?[/quote] Every activity/location that has been brought back from the DCV has been accessible for free, only new activities, which may happen to use shared assets, have any cost.
