This was in no way a unique way to honor fans. Nothing done today was exclusive. You can watch that 30 minute mashup anytime... If you want to.... And that emblem?... You have until September to complete. Plus... I have the beta testing emblem and a Vanquisher from Vanilla Destiny. Nothing was special to the fans on this day.
For those not around in the Halo days, bungie used to host a playlist on halo where you got to play the developers in matchmaking, and if you won you got an exclusive armor set called recon completely unobtainable otherwise. They gave out flaming helmet pieces in halo reach permanently to players who signed in on bungie day. They gave flaming helmets to players in halo 3 on bungie day years ago. They gave us a free Halo multiplayer map before also on Bungie day.
This...? You know what I honestly think?
This... "road to triumph"...? It's an emblem. An emblem. Not only that, it's a marketing scheme. We crave what is exclusive, so everyone is going to want to get this emblem ... (which truly anyone can get) ... but to get this emblem Bungie is making you play the game the way they want you to and as long as they want you to.
It's to keep you playing until the taken king. They want you to play certain ways, and as long as they want. That's all it is.
Instead of being honored, we're just being given an emblem anyone can get for the next 3 months, if we play as much as they decide us to play, and grind the content they want us to grind. PvP. PvE. Public events. Golden chests. Whatever you don't like, you're doing it. Because bungie is giving out an emblem. And to bungie, whether you were a "year one" guardian or not, you don't deserve what they are "graciously" giving you unless you do all of what they want.
Shame. On. You. Bungie.
Edit: It's not about free stuff. It's about making memories, and honestly, I applaud the community playdates that community members are setting up. I somehow just wish Bungie had a Bungie Bounty today (they for some reason stopped that?) and played with the community much like how they did in Halo days. They also gave out these flaming helmets to get people playing on Bungie day. It encouraged the players to get online and have fun. I have my film clips playing big team battle with my buddies, speeding in a warthog with a flaming helmet, racing getting shot down by an enemy warthog chasing us with the flag carrier in the passenger seat as our team mate charges up the spartan laser, just to make the speedy getaway needed. Do you remember those days? I do. This, and the past couple... I sadly don't. Play with us Bungie.

3 답변You could start fresh today and get that emblem WAY before September. You call that exclusive? I thought Destiny was Bungie's pride and joy. This is how they treat vets? Have they forgotten how to? Damn. This Bungie day was just...sad.
-
I still have that flaming special from halo reach. I also still remember playing with either 2 devs from halo 4 with some buddies. Yeah different companies but they still did something on a special day. Most fun i had in that game to date. An emblem for basically playing the game? Nty

5 답변Back in my day, we played games cause we enjoyed them. Not for free shit. These forums make me hate this community. This "community" is worse than league of legends. I guess we should all have seen this coming in the gaming community. Since in real life, the young people are all entitled little -blam!-s expecting to do no work and get everything handed to them.
-
2 답변Seriously the emblem OK it really not that special. Like seriously that a shame over a company and this lame. It just a game... grow up
-
24 답변Lol it's not a marketing tactic.... They're doing this because now you won't get the year one emblem unless you actually done all the significant events in the game. It has nothing to do with playing the game the way they want you to. It's just making sure that you've actually accomplished things.

5 답변This is my first experience with Bungie and during this first experience I have found that Bungie makes games and then carves sections off as DLC. No more, no less. I must give Bungie credit for their ability to make it appear as if DLC'S have significant content when the reality is the opposite. This is a true skill and I legitimately acknowledge their success in this field. You can't be disappointed if you have no expectations. I have no expectations.

3 답변The emblem's nothing special. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL USE IT? Everyone. In halo reach, the blue flame symbolised bungie living in all the players, a kindled spirit for us as a thank you. It was special to many of us. Now bungie vision has handed out little emblems that everyone's gonna have? Good luck. I don't want that piece of shit. Halo reach gave us a gift- destiny has given me a labour. And for what? A shiny cosmetic that means jackshit? No, I'm not bloody taking that. I will always remember the many memories made with friends on reach split screen. Then again all I'm gonna get from this is hate, and I'm talking to no one because bungie is never gonna see this.

3 답변I am very very new to Bungie, but I agree with just about everything you said. Nothing special or exclusive was offered. Every player can get them for the next too months. Nothing special or exciting.
-
15 답변Couldn't agree more. Plus, for a mediocre player like myself, that's [i]a lot[/i] of work for just an emblem. We didn't even get something as thanks just for playing. No cool exclusive gear or weapons. No new maps, significant content. Just an emblem that takes [u]way too much work[/u] to obtain, for what it is.

Not sure if people are just to young or forgetful but do u remember when u bought a game and thats all u got , 60$ bugs glitches and all , no rewards or constant updates/rebalincing ....nothing , now WE DESERVE EVERYTHING lmfao and the kicker is when their mad they have to pay for more content , like keeping these updates, people watching onlin comunity and "weapon rebalcing" dosent cost the business money to pay these people ....Grow up and take when u get , as someone els said no expectation, no dissapointment
-
1 답변I'm honestly content with the emblem for the triumph thing. Although it would have been cool if they offered a ghost skin for it instead I think. I just really want a new ghost skin already.

Well holy crap, I didn't think this community could demonstrate any high level of entitlement but a new benchmark has been reached today. I'm a beta, day 1 player but people forget that this is supposed to be a community, community as in 'the condition of sharing or having certain attitudes and interests in common' Yes we whine and bitch when others have the opportunity to share the experience. Grow the -blam!- up and share rather than constantly focusing on finding a special ball that you can take home and call your own.

3 답변Mmm, no. You're saying it's about making memories, and while those memories aren't the same as the ones from Halo, you still have them. Remember the first time you beat VoG? Fun, wasn't it. Remember how after all those tries, Crota finally fell to your blade? Great, huh? Remember when you finally beat skolas, getting that elder cipher and feeling like you finally did it? You get the point? Maybe you don't like these memories, but don't give me this crap about "bungie is making bad games", you certainly got your money's worth. It's a 10 year plan, it hasn't even been a year yet. How about you wait before you condemn destiny to game hell?
