Today two very important tidbits came forth about the future of Destiny. The first being that the HoW will drop in "Q2," and the second being the plethora of changes to the guns in the game. Bungie pulled a fast one here. Its a tactic used by many big companies (dropping two big news stories together). By dropping the news that HoW will drop in "Q2," and announcing the weapon changes at the same time, they got people to focus on the immediate issue (gun changes) and not the fact that they have to wait 3 months to play new content. It's a brillant strategy, so I tip my hat.
Now Bungie has not confirmed a date for the release of HoW, however, a reddit poster hacked into the game and was able to locate the release date [b]two days before bungie made their announcement[/b] (along with gaining access to all the strikes, weeklys, and armor). [b]The DLC will drop May 19th[/b]. So this means we all have to wait 3 months for new content. This in my opinion is absurd. Most of the people on my friends list have exhausted the Dark Below and now are in limbo. There is absolutely nothing to do in this game for 3 months. It truly sucks. How does everyone else feel?
[b]Reddit Link:[/b] http://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/2umska/house_of_wolves_dlc_release_date_in_may_19/
[b]Edit: [/b]Reddit poster 2 days before bungie's announcement: "I found a way to access part of "House of Wolves." I was able to access vendor weapons, vendor armor, and part of the story. As a result of my analysis, I found that "House of Wolves" is set to unlock on 5/19/15." [b][u]<-- He is the reason why bungie came out and said "Q2" today.[/u] [/b] They had to announce some type of release date since he exposed it, but they kept it vague so that the backlash wouldnt occur. Imagine if they would of said may 19th...lol
[b]Edit 2:[/b] I made this post because there are MANY guardians out there who blew through the Dark Below. Not because we played too much, but because there wasnt much content in the expansion. Just doing the weeklys, visiting xur, and running Crota each weak has gotten us all the armor and weapons the DLC offers. So now that many of us are 32, what is there left to do, especially in lieu of the HoW dropping in "Q2"? I understand there are casual gamers and xmas "noobs." They'll have no issues with the May release. The veterans however could be left out to dry.

I'm just going to keep playing until I max all the Crota weapons. I need to get fang and finish the pulse rifle upgrade

I've said this in a post before on another website, I seriously think they're tweaking and changing all the leaked content, causing the delay =( All because of impatient people that want to hack in and expose content, just be patient, and wait. If you're so anxious bored, have exhausted the game, ext. just play something else until new content comes out. You've got: Dying Light, Evolve, and my personal one I can't wait for: legend of Zelda Majoras mask, grab one of those play it, and by the time you are finished, new content for Destiny will be out! Patients dear Guardians!

19 RespuestasI'll start looking for new games today. Any suggestions anyone?

3 more months is definitely pushing it, if the division came out I would probably lose interest in destiny but right now there isn't a co-op/pvp game like it that holds my attention

Editado por PTG Kirk: 2/7/2015 8:39:26 PMI agree, Im bored of it. I wanted an "expansion" not a half-assed replacement for the old content.. The new content is extremely limited and the old content becoming obsolete made the new content even more dry as a result, for me personally. I still have things to do in the game but its a matter of grinding out stuff that I have now done for quite a while. Theres not much of a push to do anything. A single new Raid is hardly enough to make me want to play, especially when its not a fun Raid to begin with- And the rewards are even worse.... Nechrochasm? Seriously? A better expansion wouldve been just giving out new rewards for VoG

Not our fault your friends play 24/7 and have exhausted the dark below already. Have they gotten 3 32s? Have they gotten 3 cruxs for ea of their 32s if they have 3 32s? have they received every CE weapon? if not I dont think the 'exhausted' the dark below, and if they have then I feel sorry for them. The dark below will give me and my clan things to do for a while.

3 RespuestasDoes no one remember the fact that HoW was SUPPOSED to be released 3 months later for Xbox Users and that only PlayStation was gonna get it this month? Its obvious that after feedback from the community they felt that releasing an entire DLC exclusively for PS would do nothing but cut Xbox player count by a lot, so they just pushed PlayStation release of HoW back to match Xbox....

People have no idea how development works. You have to submit a working version of the game or dlc at some point of time far in advance of the release date to developers so they can approve content. Microsoft and Sony probably got their Destiny disks three months before the game came out. The Dark Below was probably finished a month before the game came out. House of Wolves was meant to come out in March. It was probably finished last month or the month before. However the reaction from The Dark Below happened and it was announced that they were going to do major changes to House of Wolves. If you read Deej post about the hack he basically all but said it was changing. It's possible that in a month if the content gets hacked again, it will be different. Oh and Destiny Comet is probably 80% done by now. Expect leaks around July.

Yeah man. I have a wife, a child, a full time job as an executive, a workout program, friends, and 3 lvl 32 characters... Running bounties to level all the crap I'll never use is getting old.
-
I don't believe there was ever an official release date, merely an assumed March because it was equidistant from TDB as that was from launch. So there's no actual proof that this was actually a delay. And if it is actually a delay from what they intended it's not likely to be more content it's most probably to rework systems that were not received well by the community (exotic upgrades, etc) Won't argue the problems with taking so long, hopefully they have some events planned in between, and if we're lucky it won't just be 3 iterations of Iron Banner.

100 new weapon, armor? Right?

Why is everyone saying three months does the second quarter start differently in the US? I'm sure that the second quarter of the year normally includes April, which is two months away, as well the way people are talking you would think that they actually said it will be in May.
-
I never heard of a game making so many damn updates ! How many times are you going to tune the weapons. Just leave them alone ! Now hand cannons are being de-buffed ! Thank you bungie for making all these changes and now sit back and watch had more and more people stop signing in a playing your game !

4 Respuestas"Why do they put stuff out so quickly when they should be fixing existing problems" "Why do we have to wait so damn long for the next new content" Make up your -blam!-ing minds

1 RespuestaAgreed. I and most of my friends are pretty much done, at least for the time being. I have 3 (one of each) characters at lvl 32, pretty much everything I want from the raid, and only missing 2-3 exotics (Thunderlord/red death/heart of praxic fire). I'll probably do the nightfalls but the game just feels empty and tedious at this point and there's a severe lack of content. That 3 month gap is pretty much going to wipe out a good portion of the community and if HoW is as empty as dark below was, I don't know how Bungie can expect anyone to want to invest more another 3-6 months later when comet finally drops. RIP Destiny..
-
WHAT!!!???? OMG!!! For $75.00 (60+15ish) I expect enought content to play 12 hours a day, 7 days a week for 6 months!!! Oh wait... that's not reasonable...
-
I am fine with the release date. I can finally have a break from this damn game. So many flaws, but I keep coming back. Perhaps such a long break can show me I'm not missing much. I'll have time to play the 5-6 other games I bought since September 9th that I haven't touched.

[quote] So now that many of us are 32, what is there left to do[/quote] Play something else?

5 RespuestasBungie is trying to perfect their DLC as much as possible before releasing. They should have made us wait this long to release the game altogether
-
3 RespuestasMay 19th. Good, I can probably have 3 32's by then.

Editado por oh ver driive: 2/7/2015 12:17:06 PMSuch a bullshxt amount of content
-
Bungie shouldn't have locked the content. Gamers are smart and will get data. Also it's mostly Activisions fault for being money hungry
-
You know when all heat drops from the nerfing, it comes back double as hard if the nerfing is bad right?
-
What is wrong with bungie?
-
Seems like destiny and the two expansions should have been released all at one time. ;)
