Kids ask questions that really make you think
I allow my eight year old son to play Destiny. He mainly patrols The Divide to kill the tank and the Taken major. I think it is ok because the enemies are aliens and not human like characters.
Anyway, my son started his own character, a warlock. It is his only character. He opened a sterling treasure box over the weekend and got titan boots. He turned to me and said, "Daddy, why did I get titan boots? I'm a warlock. I don't even have a titan." I responded that I didn't know and it happens to other players all the time. I explained rng, but got a blank stare.
I let my son open the three free sterling treasures on my account each week. He really wants Taken gear. After the titan boot incident, the repeat Spektar multiples and the lack of Taken gear from the boxes, he decided not to spend his time playing Destiny anymore.
Edit - I left out my favorite part of the story. I told my son we could get the Taken armor by paying real money for more packages, but explained we might get more of the same titan boots instead. He asked why anyone would do that. Again, I couldn't answer his question.
Edit - The next box I opened with my hunter after posting this was titan boots. Nice troll nerds.

4 RespuestasLol he is smart. I don't know why I play this anymore. Keep thinking I'm going to get this great thing, but there's nothing there. I went to the division. But now that's broken. Cod is just horrible. What happened to gaming. When it was just fun.

1 RespuestaBungie wants to encourage people to use all three classes to increase play time.

My kid likes to logically question me, it's impressive being that she's 6. I'll never forget when she was 4 I asked her to pick up her toys and she looks down, looks at her hands which had a toy in each, and says to me "I only have 2 hands you know daddy, let me put these away first"...uhhh. what do I say to that lol.

If it will make my son/daughter happy to have full taken armor il spend money to get the full set. There no such thing as teaching my kid about quitting . Whatever it takes. You can just tell your kid its for future preference that maybe one day you will walk as a titan and feel its power and looking at your vault your equipments are ready to conquer . You lack imagination my friend

3 RespuestasMy wife and I play with my 8 year old son, too. We each have our own accounts. Lately an uncle has been helping me bring the wife and son's light levels up (252-302 in 3 play sessions). My son is very talkative and he will talk to me about all kinds of things while we grind out some storyline missions. He loved Iron Banner and was improving so fast. It's a whole new world. I played chess with my dad and then video games were invented not long before I hit college, so we never did much of that at home. I've toyed with the idea of trying to form a Raid team with family people. We completed Crota normal as a threesome (me, son, uncle). The thought of trying to explain and re-explain the details in VoG or KingsFall seems daunting, though.

21 RespuestasRegardless of where from, if a child refuses to participate anymore because they didn't get what they want it's a simple tantrum.
-
I've never complained about getting gear for other characters, I can store it and use it later on when I need it. So I guess the answer to that would be that it sort of helps you out but it limits you so you don't get everything you want right away.
-
When kids in video games ask questions all i think is why am i still in this match? Im not your -blam!-ing teacher kid
-
Most responses are missing the point. He didn't tell his kid to quit. The kid chose not to play a game that gives random rewards for all the effort you put in and for sterling treasure. I think the kid is smart. How would you like to be paid by your work "randomly". Open your paycheck "box" & find bananas! Shouldn't you be able to choose what you want from sterling treasure rather than randomly getting crap you don't want or need ESPECIALLY if you pay for it?
-
Holy crap, your son has a better understanding of game design than whoever at Bungie is finalizing the design choices. He will go far.
-
The sheer amount of idiocy in this thread is unbearable. There's nothing wrong with "quitting". If you don't feel like a specific activity is worth the time and effort you put into it, there is nothing wrong with ceasing that activity and spending your resources in a more productive way. The child sounds intelligent.

1 RespuestaHoly shit! A good parent, everyone act natural
-
This reinforces my opinion that people who complain about Destiny have the intelligence of a toddler..
-
9 RespuestasYou shouldn't be teaching a kid that if he doesn't get his way he should just quit. Those are some shit morals right there.
-
2 RespuestasHe might as well learn life doesn't always give you exactly what you want when you want it now..
-
Editado por The New Monarch: 5/11/2016 7:44:30 PMFair enough...but maybe he might still play the game for fun and not just for virtual "stuff" that doesn't really mean anything? Not trying to tell you how to parent and obviously he's smart enough to realize the idiocy of microstransactions and how they only benefit the company that offers them I just think there's enough people out there that have the mentality that gaming is about getting things or being better than everyone else or receiving some kind of recognition...it's just a game and it should be about having fun
-
So, you didn't tell him that there are other sets of armor he could find to his liking? You didn't try to tell him that cosmetics isn't everything in a game like Destiny? You didn't tell him to try a Titan? [spoiler]I made a Warlock because I had so much strike armor and Warlock exotics, it was getting annoying. Now I could never go back to being a Hunter. [/spoiler]
-
When your son received the Titan armor and he asked why, you should've replied by telling him to try out the Titan and adapt to the situation rather than giving up because he couldn't get what he wanted. I believe little things like this can help determine the way your child may think about things in the future. It's not that serious anyways imo, but it's definitely something to think about.
-
1 RespuestaSo your lesson to your kid was he should be entitled and expect everything to come to him easy in life? Wow. Parent of the year!
-
17 RespuestasSounds to me like the lesson was "quit if you don't get what you want." Life itself has more RNG than destiny and it's probably more broken.

1 RespuestaI liked gaming when I was 8 bro, it was so much better, no RNG no lag bull shit, all I did was play super smash bros melee and watch powder puff girls and ed edd and eddy. Lmao
-
9 RespuestasWhen I was 8 I played this great game called outside with friends.

5 RespuestasI paid for an expansion that costed what the full game did. Now I get charged for cosmetic gear? No thanks. I'm okay without chroma, shaders, etc. I never played SRL. I have episode 1 racer from star wars. Same thing. Really. It is. I just cant play destiny anymore. Im waiting for something to be worth actually placing the disk in my console.
