Breaking News: Bungie Stoops to New Lows

Well, it isn't really "breaking news". The entire year, Bungie has been treating the community like shit and now that the new exotics have been released (along with the patch notes), I'm not sure I want to play Destiny anymore. The game had so much promise, but I might just have to move on to ARK or whatever they are cooking up at Highwire Games. Below are my 3 reasons to quit Destiny. Look at bottom for the gist. [b]1.[/b] Overpriced DLC: My first reason has to do with the price of the game. In addition to selling us an incomplete game for 60$, Bungie regularly asks for 20-40$ to stay in the game. These "DLC's" make previous content obsolete and force players to change their weapons to crappy year two weapons with terrible perks (Battle Runner on an exotic!?!). In fact, Bungie goes so far that they have to NERF all the previous perks to make the new and "improved" ones look good. So why don't they just add new, better weapons that people WANT to play with? It's anybody's guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Another thing that bothers me greatly is that Bungie is locking people out of content that THEY PAID FOR unless they get the DLC. People won't be able to do Nightfalls or Weeklies anymore unless they spend 40$! This is unfair and really shouldn't be legal! [b]2.[/b] Bungie Throws Veterans under the bus: Ok, so we get a shader, an "upgraded sparrow" and an emblem. SO WHAT! Bungie has frequently offered the game at a reduced price for NEW PLAYERS ONLY! And they make old players feel like the hundreds of hours that they poured into the game were useless because all their old gear became that. I understand that the games price will decrease over time, but people don't want to play a premium for a game where they will be set back to square one each and every expansion. Also, the VIP rewards are obtainable of you pre-order TTK and get to level 20 before it is released (which isn't hard to do). This makes the VIP rewards feel useless and not very special because someone could obtain them if they got a copy of TTK and played a decent amount of time. [b]3.[/b] Post what you think your 3rd reason would be! If you don't agree with my sentiments, then post why you are not quitting Destiny! [b]The Gist:[/b] Bungie has lied to the fanbase, made weapons obsolete to make the new ones seem ok (at best), and they have overpriced their DLC. They also treat the Veteran players like crap and "listen to the community". I DARE Cozmo to respond to this. [b]Edit 1:[/b] When I tried to post #bumpfortruth as a tag, it wouldn't let me. Makes you think... [b]Edit 2:[/b] I'm seeing some very insightful comments, keep them coming! [b]Edit 3:[/b] I'll try to respond to everyone's comments, it may take a while though [b]Edit 4:[/b] Over 200 comments and #3 on trending! Keep Bumping! [b]Edit 5:[/b] Over 300 comments!

  • I respectfully disagree. I can see why you feel cheated, but I think you are wrong and don't understand how these things work. I guess this was bound to be since Bungie chose to explore an area that is kind of middle ground between ordinary FPS and MMO. You can argue the Destiny isn't an MMO at all, because you feel it's not "massive" enough, but that is neither here nor there. There are two ways to extend the life of a game brand. The standard method is the release new games every year. Each game is a separate entity. Each year they fiddle with the basic COD brand and package it as a new game. You can replay it as many times as you want, and maybe you can buy some extra game time, in the form of a DLC or two, but the story ends where it ends. The MMO type of game, let's you keep your avatar and let it grow through the game's evolution. The only way the developers can keep adding content, is if they can sell the additional content. Want to continue your story, beyond the original game, sorry but it's not free. As I said, it doesn't matter here or there, if Destiny fits your description of a proper MMO, Bungie and Activision has obviously made the decision to make a game that will grow and expand in the way MMO like WOW do, so they have adopted the financing model for MMO too. I really don't see how they could have done anything else, if they're serious about keeping the game alive for 10 years.
