I'm compelled to reply to this post and share my feedback because, contrary to what many in this and related threads have suggested, voting with our wallets is a sure way to prevent the ultimate artistic vision of Destiny from being realized. [quote]3: We know the adage, "Vote with your wallet." At the same time, like you've pointed out, if sales figures don't look good, one of the parties might pull the plug on the game. What would you recommend as the best way to convey (community email, petition, etc), for the gamers like myself, that while we might be hesitant to further invest in a fractured title, we would be willing to do so if we felt confident that it helped bring back what Destiny could have been?[/quote] My feedback: I'm disappointed but hopeful. Without a story, I'm quickly loosing interest in continuing to play the game and I have significantly less interest in purchasing DLC. While I enjoy what's been delivered it's not enough for me to purchase DLC to help keep the game alive. I will be glad to pay for DLC under two conditions: the DLC fills in the gaps in the story line and a vision or goals for planned future DLC is articulated. General thoughts: I love the core gameplay. I was surprised to find that I enjoy the multi player aspect as well. I typically play first person single player titles. I did not purchase or play Titanfall due to lack of a story and a complete focus on multiplayer. I chose to purchase Destiny because of prior Bungie work and the vision articulated through press releases and industry events. I want to support games with this vision to ensure the type of gameplay I prefer continues in the future. The framework and details for a great story exist in the content I've experienced. I am currently leveling my character and collecting loot. Now that I'm at a higher level I'm loosing interest in the game play because of lack of motivation to continue playing repetitive missions. My only motivation to play is to play with friends. My friends are not often online and the lack of a lobby system results if few opportunities for me to play raids.

so a game that has been in devolopment for six years all we get is the current game????? and by working on the Expansion pass suggest that what the person on reddit said was true as all u have is the game. (with boring mission and UN finished content) currently then something BIG happend to destiny and what it was meant to be. We need to know why the stroy changed why isnt the "explorable geometry....NOT A SKYBOX" NOT EXPLORABLE i love destiny but what the game thats in my PS4 isnt the game i saw at E3

[quote] It releases in December. [/quote] Good luck keeping people interested that long. Grinds are not content. Events that just change the way people grind are not content. The only reason games like Warcraft have been able to survive with grinds is because there's enough compelling content and side material to keep people interested. Destiny doesn't have that. I'm already watching people on both my X360 and PS4 friends' lists move on to other games. The most common complaint I hear from those folks is that the game is too repetitive, too bland, or not rewarding enough. While you might be addressing the last complaint this week with loot/Cryptarch changes, the fact is the other two issues are deeply ingrained in the foundation of the game and not easily fixed. As I said from the first week on, PVE folks are simply going to move on to the next shiny PVE game that comes out. PVP folks might stick around a bit longer but the minute something comes out (likely COD: AW) where they can PVP without dealing with Destiny's grindy MMO-esque loot pretentiousness, they'll be gone too. What was launched isn't a foundation for a 10 year franchise. A true ten year franchise needed to be far larger in scope, launch with a much more coherent story, and offer far more to do. This franchise will be lucky if it survives ten months and the poor reception isn't going to bode well for future entries. (Edit: Let's be honest, Mass Effect was only a 5 year franchise (so far (2007-2012)), and that was with BioWare's considerable prior experience building story driven RPGs.) P.S. I hate to be so brutal but [i]Too Human[/i] did a better job with loot, RPG, and story elements than Destiny. [i]Too Human.[/i]

What I want to know is are these expansions part of the Playstation one year exclusive deal with Sony? Because if these expansions are not going to release for another year on the Xbox this is 1. The most stupidest thing av seen ever and 2. The death of Destiny on Xbox it will not last the year without the extra content. I only say this because IGN clearly think the expansions are part of the exclusive deal.

[quote]Hey, Bungie Community. I hope you had a nice weekend. We noticed that you noticed that we already have plans for upcoming content.[/quote] look what we noticed is that -blam!-ing Dlc is already in the disc. Stop your fuking bullshit about what we notice. Damn bungie did you notice that there is no story in this game??? Did you notice the poor solo mission... And the cut!

So you expect us to stick around to December so we can play more sub-level 30 content and be rewarded with more Legendary items to throw on the scrap heap? And pay for that? Yeaahhhh..... Imma pass. As AngryJoe said, "ya dun fuk'ditup."

Stop with the PR shit and actually be real for once you excuse of a Community manager. The DLC is probably the same thing as the game, defend muh ghost and more bland storytelling.

Why do I feel, as if I'm bring lied too..?

-blam!- off DeeJ

[quote] But neither of the Expansion Packs we've announced are finished.[/quote] This is a rather nebulous statement that admits to a degree of accuracy, but leaves room for great latitude if the product is almost done (post beta), or only halfway done (alpha stage). As much as I want to believe Bungie & appreciate a statement, this doesn't reveal a whole later and the language is crafted for ambiguity and to prevent full transparency. I'm still suspicious because Activi$on is publishing
