Bungie is removing content to create a sense of "legacy"
Its in the infamous Luke Smith article. Bungie removed Swordbreakers to create a sense of legacy and is likely going to do the same with the Wolves.

Whose terrible idea is this? Why would you take some fun out of the game--out of Patrol, no less, which is a snooze fest? What are you going to do with the Wolves? Are we suddenly not going to be able to get any Queen's Wrath rank ups?
This really is a new one Bungie. I've never heard of an expansion that might actually take things people like away.

1 RespuestaEhh, i dont really choose to see it as 'removale of content' so much as them trying to make the game feel progressive. I mean sure right now there is fallen everywhere due to Skolas trying to control the houses, and there was Hive everywhere when Crota was trying to take Earth. But after we (collective, as in the playerbase) kill Crota, or Capture Skolas, it wouldnt make sense for those things to be out in the world anymore. I mean how do you know you killed the Hive boss if the invasion still goes on unchecked? Or when do you know Skolas has been stopped if the house of wolves are running around as if they own the place? Yes it is removing content, but i choose to think they do it for story reasons, not just to spite players for joining a year late. But what do i know, im just a person on the internet.

12 RespuestasSo they can remove enemies from the game but we can't bury the guardian in front of the temple of crota? Makes sense

4 RespuestasYou're mistaken in your theory. They remove content to make room for new content. If you hadn't already known, Destiny servers are very scarce on resources. That's why only a small number of people can exist on any server. The same applies to enemy resources, especially ones that are on a timer. They needed to make room for the Wolves in the latest DLC. They can't keep adding these new enemies while leaving the old ones as well. With that said, as has been stated below, you can still complete all of the Eris bounties. The Fist of Crota mission provides the Swordbearers and the rest of the game's activities can still fulfill the others. Nothing has been lost.

Legacy? What's with developers these days throwing fancy words to describe sequel building.
-
Honestly it wouldn't make much sense to keep them around. Crotas supposed to be dead, so his little buddies are gone. And, we were supposed to have beat the house of wolves and sent them back to whatever little hole in the ground they like most. Then there's the taken that are going to be roaming around when TTK comes out. I sense a pattern [spoiler]i say "supposed to be" because the story says we did kill them but mine eyes say no. They can all be killed for fun still so... you know[/spoiler]

2 RespuestasQueen's Wrath is even more pointless that Eris was. Get to rank3 - which is really easy - get the Vestian Dynasty you already own.
-
Ohhhh you mean Blades of Crota. Well naturally the Blades of Crota were only being summoned to make ready the awakening of Crota himself. There are a lot of thing to criticize with Destiny and that shouldn't really be it
-
12 Respuestasthey are not removing content, the world is evolving like it does in most games that have a persistent world. you CoDboys have not seen this as you live your games 5-10 mins at a time on tiny tiny maps but this is pretty common. the only thing bungie has done differently is have these things come around every few months instead of every year or two.
-
Given that both dlcs had special events spawn on patrol, it's safe to say that this will continue with future expansions. May not be a big deal now but it would get a bit "clogged" if old dlc events remained while new ones are added.
-
1 RespuestaWoW has revamped a lot of legacy content over the years. There are a lot of places I used to enjoy that are completely different now. That includes the removal of various enemies and quests. I know that's a bit apples and oranges and the time frame is much shorter. I get all that, but the general concept is the same.
-
It could be likely that new bounties could be offered by Petra that relate to Taken King rather than HOW. It makes total sense that the HOW "season" ends, and existing characters play new roles in the next season. Bungie has stated that Eris will be a big player in Taken King. It is safe to assume that at that point,she will stop yammering about Crota.
-
10 RespuestasWell, when you kill Crota the swordbearers leave. The new threat is the Wolves. Next will be the Taken and since we beat the Wwolves they'll leave too. It makes sense. Otherwise you'll have patrol maps with old content on them that doesn't mold with the current threat in the Destiny universe.
-
2 RespuestasThat's stupid because the bounty is still there for it. New players coming in trying to rank Eris are gonna pick up the bounty and stand their scratching their heads. Rather than remove them they should've just raised the levels of the sword bearers or do it like the way sky watch is sometimes when the enemies move against each other. Improve on it don't remove it to create some false legacy feeling that's what their bull shit emblem is for.
-
11 RespuestasHas no one mentioned "Husk of the Pit" and kill sword bearers bounty yet? Bounties are still there but content from TDB was removed. All were left with from TDB is a raid, omnigul, and No Land Beyond etc.
-
1 RespuestaEditado por TeddyBundy: 7/30/2015 6:04:12 PMYep. It was absolutely retarded to remove them because the patrols doesn't even serve a single purpose for the "evolving" story. They should have stayed ingame because it was really fun to fight them and they brought much more variety to the boredomness of bounty-hunting.
-
2 RespuestasThe blades where not necessary to the game progression by removing them they are removing one less unnecessary component.

1 RespuestaBungie is forgetting about brand loyalty. Brand loyalty is why companies love offering student discounts. You lose a little here and there but in the long run you made much more money because that poor student grew up and is purchasing everything your company releases. Destiny 1 owners staying aboard for 2, 3, & 4 and bringing their friends along. I'm not saying Destiny should have a student discount. What I'm trying to say is that your decisions in Destiny 1 might cause people to own only that game and not purchase any other Destiny sequels due to your blatant mistreatment of formerly loyal customers. Scratch off any thought of those same players even buying any action figures if you keep going at this rate. You always want to present to a customer that they are receiving something and never want to have a negative stigma of something being taken away. Bungie is currently not doing a good job with positive reinforcement.

Welcome to playing a game that removes a faction after its relevancy had passed.
-
Im all for it, as long as we have new content im fine with it whether its better or worse, I just want new things to happen. They can just make the light blue bounties available where you have to take out the last vips of the house of wolves. Id be okay with that. Wolves prowling? Who even does that anymore, its not worth much now.
-
I don't see how. All the queens bounties require them to complete.
-
I don't think they'll remove the wolves. An entire faction rank depends on those guys. Perhaps they'll just add another thing to patrol? Maybe the wolves will turn into taken versions? That would be pretty cool, actually. You'd get to fight the wolves but they'd be taken versions.
-
I'm just curious what will happen to Petra's bounties. If they remove the wolf pack drop ships like the blades of crota, then her targets will be removed from the game too. At least Eris' crap ass bounties can still be completed. TTK will probably overhaul both of their roles though.
-
Funny thing is... It works.
-
2 RespuestasEditado por filleparisienne: 7/30/2015 3:43:47 PMI understand the reasoning but they should at least keep all of the old stuff in rotation so you see it every once in a while edit: that crap about the emotes is a joke though. Not that I care about getting them but the attitude that Luke portrays is pretty bad
-
1 RespuestaGuns are kind of.... Meh because there will always be replacements but I agree with the wolves thing being BS. Also if they ever start taking guns away from people instead of just making them not attainable anymore then that will be bad too.

3 RespuestasYou a conservative ass stuck in the past
