Did Bungie finally push day 1 people over the edge

I cant believe how many posts ive seen today about destiny vets getting -blam!-ed. I think this is one time I have seen majority of community posting the same thing. Im a day 1er can someone please fill me in and tell me your thoughts? Edit 1: I want to thank everyone for the input they have contributed lets hope your voice is heard.

  • Beta and Day 1. Not quite yet. Price and the bundling isn't a problem - it is pretty standard for offers of that kind to appear at this time in a games cycle. Players who have resisted so far are not going to suddenly jump on board if they are still faced with a full price game. To get new users in they have to make them an enticing offer. And if you are a "collector" you pay will pay collector prices. Plenty of people out there with good incomes and a taste for collectibles. If I do buy I will buy the bare bones digital edition, and not be too stressed. I bought the limited edition and haven't looked at any of that bonus stuff since I put the disk in and "Early Access" to the vanguard armory was next to useless. The only thing that interests me now is the content offering. Until we get a clear picture on the size and nature of the expansion I will not be making any decisions. Dark Below as an OK offering, but I feel no special affection for it beyond the very useful Black Hammer. HoW has been kind of disappointing. PoE isn't really that much fun for me. It has quickly become like Nightfalls - just another job. Weapons are not that inspiring, Re-Roll is just another way for RNG to screw with you. And getting endlessly fired at by Captains with Shrapnel Launchers and Scorch Cannons while on patrol is just irritating. Thankfully we still have mars. I can see the edge, but I am still on the top side. Three months is a long time though. Plenty of time for Bungie to show us something real. Plenty of time for me to move on if they are not willing to offer anything concrete.

    • I've been on Bungie's side since I finished the fight in '08 and I even preordered and bought the Limited Edition of Density for my 360. When I finally upgraded to the Xbox Fun, I didn't wanna go to GameStop and ask for a standard copy as a trade in for the 360 version of Density, so I kept it. I own a copy for both consoles. When the Beta hit, I actually paid attention to the workings of the game to see what would hinder it (like the rapid fire Interceptors, for example) and even went as far as to frame the poster I got when I pre-ordered Density and buy some shirts of it. What I'm saying is that I was a goddam follower of this game. I played it for so long and invested a gnarly amount of time into this. When [u]The Dank Below[/u] came out, I withstood the outrage, telling friends and other players online 'it's Bungie's first time doing a game like this, cut them some slack. They can't hit the nail on the head all of the time,' by February (or some time around there), when they announced that the [u]House of Wolves[/u] was getting pushed back to May, I told those friends 'see? They're listening! They refining it and adding a lot of cool things!' By mid-March, I was getting bored of it for the first time. I was so hit by the sudden disinterest I started up a Titan (I had a bunch of armour for one anyway) and all was well. Then [u]House of Wolves[/u] hit and it gave me the feeling of seeing a dying and empty community being reinvigorated and brought back from the dark corners of time. Some had a blast, others were protesting because Prison of Elders wasn't an equal replacement for a Raid. Point is, the game got some juice back. Naturally, a majority of the community exhausted the new stuff in two weeks time and all returned to normal, but with differences and upgrades that actually kept me believing in the game's future. Now here I am, reading up on The Taken King and all of its new features and how it is essentially everything that could have been. '[b]There's a special digital download for the loyal Year 1 fans,[/b] says the description for the ones that are rightfully deemed as Year 1 players, '[b]for $40, you will expand on your legend and discover new powers and ancient evils.'[/b] Then I kept reading on the other editions. Now, I know how depreciation works. Video games and cars are just about on par when it comes to stuff like that, but when you're 1 for 2 on what you've shown versus reality and you pull something like this, it's gonna get messy, you will see shit hit the fan. I'm sure as Hell not the only one that feels backstabbed. For the first time since I've played Destiny, I am gonna complain (and bitch and moan, for the ones that think they're so high and mighty), because this isn't right. [spoiler]And to the ones that will say 'you entitled prick,' let me just say this: My whole time playing Density up to this point was well-spent. I didn't think I was entitled to anything. The only thing I ever had a problem with was finding a group to Raid with or run PoE with. But with this, I just don't get why they'll pull something like this and expect the vets to pay for something that shouldn't be priced that high.[/spoiler] [spoiler]TL;DR: for lack of better words, my eyes have been opened. I am no longer going to follow this game as much as I did in the beginning.[/spoiler] [spoiler](´・_・`)[/spoiler]

      • Destiny, to me at least, will always be that girlfriend that you know you shouldn't mess with but you're going to anyway. It's a great time when lasts, but you always finish up and think to yourself was the ride worth the headache.

        • Ttk i think is going to blow. According to all these posts ive seen theyre changing everything and making all the old classic weapons irrelevant. I'll just spend an extra $20 and get black ops 3

        • Yep I probably won't buy TtK. I'll just wait for SWB3. Unless the next DLC is worth it, but Destiny might be done for me if the new BattleFront is made the RIGHT way

          1. I have money 2. Don't care at all about trinkets or digital extras 3. Couldn't careless about the corruption of some idealistic version of the videogame industry. Here's my cash, will this entertain me for a while. Yes? Awesome. Thanks!

              I don't know why everyone cares so much about it, in a month after the taken king release someone will be selling the codes and trinkets for 30 bucks on ebay, plus the exotic class items are specifically for new comers to the game, yeah they sound and probably look cool but $80? Nah. Corrupt way of milking the player base. Yah. Me, i'll be the cheap ass who buys the $40 version anyways, no biggie. Still a fun game! S.S.D.P.

            • I'm done. Been bordering for a while. It has nothing to do with it being 40 dollars for me. There are at least 5 games I saw that can easily blow destiny out of the water and I'm going with those.

            • It's 40 quid for a new game. Get over it and play the game. FFS a family outing to McDonalds cost more.

              • This is business, why are you acting surprised, other games do this all the time, 6 months after any cod game releases it's dropped 15 dollars in price at least, and the season pass also costs less. Do you see many cod players bitching about this? Are the Battlefield players Complaining? The newer a game is the more expensive it will be. I'm going to buy The Taken King and play it with all my friends.

              • I was so disgusted with the news that I immediately made a life decision to stop playing Destiny over those astronomical prices they are expecting. I almost came on the forums to discuss with others how much this effects my life. The pure shock off the prices they are MAKING us pay are ridiculous. How could they do such a thing to our game, I cant even keep something like this to myself any longer so I must tell everybody how much of a self entitled fgt I am.

                • While it would be fun to have those things it does not even remotely affect my gaming experience and it is hardly worth all the fuss.

                  I don't care about the Legendary Edtion's price and all that. I just want the exclusive emotes, class items, and shaders they're offering in the Collector's Edition. Right now, the only way for existing players to get those (at least as far as we know now) is to pay the $80 and re-buy the game. I really hope they make those items simply included with The Taken King DLC, or at the very least, a pre-order bonus for it. The VIP shader, emblem and sparrow do look really cool though. But I also really want the collector's edition bonuses. :(

                • Almost The "new enemies" are just wearing the glowhoo shader If they sell the collectors edition without destiny and expansions, so basically TTK collectors edition with exotic class items and other extras I'm sold.

                • I am an alpha player. Play on both cb1 and ps4 ( main xb1 at this point) 1. I've spent more time playing this game of the life of it then any other in recent memory 2. 40 is a few hours of work for 100s of hours of enjoyment/frustration/fun 3. I will happily say this. Shut up and take my money

                • My whole clan decided last night that we are done. It really was a slap in the face to all of us day 1 players and to add to it the "positive" changes to the skolas fight to make it less of a grind? Yeah right. It's more difficult, not impossible, more difficult but there is no real reward for it. Just more examples of Bungie as a whole not thinking about the players and focusing on the bottom line and how the game should be bought and played their way.

                    We buy: Destiny- $60 Tdb- $20 How- $20 Ttk- $40 Destiny vets pay: $140 New players: Destiny+ Tdb+ How+ Ttk Total-$60 How does that make any sense?!?! We paid way way more than them for the same content. They just basically said how worthless their past content is by selling it all for $20. Pretty bs if you ask me.

                    • It's ok. Many people must not understand economics and depreciation and leveling curves. The same thing happens with every game series. None of them must own a computer because Moore's Law really screws with the value there.

                      • Do i have money to pre order taken king today ? Yes Will i do it ? No Because bungie lost their priorities. I disliked the PVPin bungie and i am not good at it. However all Bungie does is pushing us to PVP because they are lazy on adding new content to the game. They promised many things and failed to keep their promises. Pvp would be more fun if bungie decided to invest on dedicated servers. Destiny would be more fun if they didn't decide on dividing the game into pieces. Poe would be fun if Bungie didn't decide on giving out shitty perk guns and armours where no one will use. Too would be more fun and fair if Bungie would only allow one lighthouse per week . raid's would be more fun if Bungie fixed cheeses quickly There are tons of things Bungie could improve the game , however all they care is to fork cash from us and take care of new players. This is the final straw for me , if Bungie will not change their pricing structure , i'm gone...
