I wonder why the playerbase numbers are in the toilet...

How fitting that bungie during the holidays are playing the Scrooge

[quote]1 hour... 1 hour the Dawning Event card was free. 1 hour the ability to access it was removed from the game. That's all it took for bungie to spring into action. Meanwhile: The Pale Heart (That we've had access to for 6 months) Has been borderline untouchable in any meaningful capacity for 2 months due to Guitar issues. (Playable lifespan of episode echoes ~4 months) Tether has not been fixed inside the new dungeon for 2 months due to contest dungeon/ error codes & will be fixed halfway into the 3rd month of the season. Ignitions dealing less damage to bosses after the initial ignition...for 1-2 months. Players cant craft tonics/ locked out on story content. 2 months & going A few bugs in the Contest of Elders activity. Weight gate having been around since Forsaken (years) Tonics for tomb of elders being bugged. Back in Echoes: Warlocks were receiving less Reputation gains than hunters & titans for approx ~3 weeks in ritual activities. But an event card...1 hour. .... anything that benefits the player is IMMEDIATELY disabled, taken out, nerfed & dealt with. Game breaking bugs last months. But a small monetary inconvenience nobody likes is bugged immediately (like the rest of the game) & instead of keeping it around for free it gets disabled immediately. We pay Bungie for serviceable content. The game is barely serviceable as it is currently. Why does a small microtransaction take more priority than many parts of the game that are still bugged. With how buggy the game is why pay at all. Edit: A lot of you think i want a free event card. While i support that idea as a "Make-good" for all of the bugs we have been getting this season. What this post serves is a cautionary warning for the next year of Destiny. [quote]With how buggy the game is why pay at all.[/quote] We are getting another new content model that looks even shakier than the one we are in right now. Very little information about Frontiers. No future pricing models. No guarantees that the content we receive won't be as buggy or worse. All of the trust has been severely diminished. Wait to buy new content. You never know if you'll be locked out from enjoying what you paid for.[/quote] Solution!!! Maybe stop pre-ordering, maybe don’t buy because the man who makes videos on the internet said it was good, and wait till people who are honest and critical call out all the problems, this way you can make a more informed purchase, maybe question the price of the game, the game’s expansions, “extra” content, judge the pricing model much more critically on the basis of previous performances. I don’t know about you all, but I did the math, I have spent far less than a majority of the community, I got the Forsaken pack, with everything, for about $45 on New Years, I got Beyond light for about $20, which was a mistake because that expansion even with everything was not worth $20, Witch Queen for $30, light fall was gifted to me by a friend who lost a bet, but even then we still got it for a deal. I am not spending the money Bungie ask me for, because they are not creating the game we’ve asked for, and like the money they get from me, I am going to treat this like the bottom of the discount bin at best buy. Don’t spend triple A prices for stuff that is only worth triple -D, bottom barrel products should always be worth bottom barrel coins. The dev’s can’t do much if the people on top can’t hear the common folks, unless the money that divides us becomes thinner, and the executives better be careful, because with no walls, there’s no room, so no business, and you need a room to conduct the most basic functions of a business.

Yeah, this one was too much. A slap in the face. Not a good look. Wallet is closed well beyond the Dawning event card upgrade.

Completely agree. I’m done. I am never giving this lot any more of my money. Just fix it !!

Well and what do you guys actually expect out of this greed infested company these days? You guys keep repeating yourselves. Bungie has been like this since dawn. Stop giving them money and stop engaging with the store / any form of mtx's in the game. How is that so hard for people. THEY will clearly never change. YOU need to change your behaviours. You are punching a brick wall, good luck pushing through.

Never going to buy it. But if I had gotten it for free, it would have been a glimmer of hope in this game that feels like it’s deliberately working against its customers.

Still curious why tether hasn’t been fixed in the new dungeon. But hey… fix that $10 event card, I guess ?

Their priorities are clear. No ifs, ands or buts. Just straight business.

Yeah, sadly at this point, this is gonna be the last time I ever spend money on the game. If it even survives past the end of the Final Shape year, whatever we're gonna get afterwards is guaranteed to be very low quality and borderline unplayable. As much as I wanted to believe the naysayers were wrong, Destiny really is dying, or rather practically dead already. It's sad to see it go, it could've been such a great and long lasting game, if Bungie had put in even a fraction of the effort that they put into fixing bugs that benefit players, and growing Pete Parson's car collection.

No one should be surprised by this. Bungie has made it perfectly clear what their priorities are. It's not about delivering a great gaming experience, it's about trying to squeeze as much money as possible from the remaining players as they can. This has been their agenda for a while now. They will always pick profit over engagement.

Cry louder. Maybe it will help

Doesn’t matter to me. I got the event card free 🤷🏽‍♂️
