TTK Ruined Destiny for year 1 players. Bungie is Committing A Crime of False Advertisement

Before I begin I will like to point out Bungie will not read this because they are too busy counting the stacks of cash they have stripped from 7 year old kids' parent's wallets. When first announced I thought the Taken King was going to be a great reward for all year 1 players. I was very wrong. The announced price of $40 was outrageous! Bungie has already made me purchase $40 dollars in DLC that was supposed to be regular content before the game came out! That means that year 1 players will pay a grand total of $140 while the noobies just buying the game will get it for $60. That's quite a reward for loyal fans that have been there since the beginning. (I hope you have sensed my sarcasm.) Even so I refused to buy the Taken King. So I proceed to get on Destiny the day TTK is released and what do I find? All game modes are locked behind a paywall including, strike playlist, crucible, nightfall, and daily heroic! I have been punished for not wasting my hard earned money on a DLC that will only be sufficient in buying back all of the content I have been stripped of and a storyline that will only be sufficient for several days. Is this really what it has come to Bungie? Must you be so greedy as to punish a loyal fan base that has already forked over $100 of their hard earned money? All I want is compensation. Being there since the beginning and believing until the end apparently isn't enough for you. I'm calling you out and I'm quite disappointed in how childish and greedy a company who made quadruple the amount invested in preorders alone. Shame on Bungie.

    I still laugh at this "Congratulations, Guardian. Your quest is complete! You have earned the Laurea Prima emblem. Display it proudly as evidence that you were a player of Destiny during the first year of our shared adventure, and that you never shied away from a fight. This emblem will belong to you, and those like you. It will be your keepsake from the launch year of Destiny. Thank you for playing, and for overcoming the most challenging feats of skill and cunning that we have created" Yet, you can ONLY have it if you pay $40. If this isn't a straight insult and a sign of what they are doing, I really don't know what to say anymore.

      TTK ruinied Destiny for year two players too. They did all these bullshit 'they think they are being sly' things that totally ruin all combat in Destiny. They tell us they are making the bosses less like bullet sponges but then they raise the Heroic level ABOVE our own to insure every trash mob is a bullet sponge. I respawned in the heroic daily story and litteraly died 2 seconds later paralysed by fire from 10 enemies at least. All PVE is too hard if your solo (I will never join a group unless they offer matchmaking). With the exception of RAIDS and strikes i don't WANT to play in a group. All this crap is to force us to bring our friends into the game and pressure them to play. Why do they think this bullshit taktic will work? Well it works on the W.O.W. crowd. But if we have matchmaking that scam tactic of theirs DOES NOT WORK. That is the ONLY reason they wont allow Matchmaking for RAIDS. All the other things they say are BS slieght of hand. Crucible is a flashing light in your face retard-fest only worth suffering through for the legendary marks and even then I am considering just not playing crucible anymore. TTK and 2.0 made crucible unfixable imo. I was getting good before 2.0 (well good for me), now its so disatisfying i can't stand it. The new swords that we all thought would be so cool are USELESS. First they use Heavy Wepons Slot and Heavy Weapons AMMO!!! Oh but they can block! Ohh how cool! NO. Not cool. The blocking mecanism ALSO USES AMMO and so quickly as to make blocking dangerous and worthless. What would have been perfect would have been to put them in the primary wepon slot - make them take NO AMMO and give us a little extrsa range and power for our melee. What we got is sooo useless. Run into a group of enemies with that weapon and most times you will die. BY messing with all the gear and weapon numbers and nonsence they have made us way way way weaker at 40 with TTK than we were at 34. Every single thing they did to change the game they pretended was for our benefit and enjoyment. NONE of them were. They were meant to drag out the game, force us to play where and when they want. Force us into a little Feeding Trough to eat the mediocre shit they want to feed us while they mindlessly milk us for MONEY. Overall the assesment is this: Destiny does not satisfy in any way.

      • TTK looks good in my opinion but I hate how to gain the VIP Year One rewards, you [i]have to buy TTK[/i]. Honestly, if we are a Year One player we should be given these rewards regardless.

        • Not only that but this too... Where's the dedicated servers? Where's the optional matchmaking? Where's the better rng? Where's the taken content? Where's the point of doing Crota, VOG or HOW gone? Where's the raid for HOW? Where's all the power in my legendary and exotic guns gone that took me forever to aquire? Where's the story...still? Where's the currencies I grinded to get? Where's the big open world we were supposed to have access to? Where's the ban on cheaters in crucible? (and not just the few that did get banned) Where's Joe Staten gone? (You know, the one that would have made this game last 10 years and made EVERYONE, really throw crazy amounts of money at the screen) Where's your ethical business practice gone bungie? Where has the old bungie gone? (You know, the ones that made Halo and Halo 2) Where has your innovation gone bungie? (and I'm not talking about shiny enemies or enemies that have cloak shields like the old elites) Where's all the good ideas from SO MANY guardians gone? (Like Lost Sols or Malphisto or countless others) Where has your ability to make a quality game gone without charging $100 to $160 for an obvious beta that needs the customers input to complete? (Even though you've had 10 years to make it) Oh, wait...I know... Bungie is not what they used to be without Joe Staten and the MANY designers that were there during the halo days. There is no trust because they(bungie) have demonstrated THEY can NOT be trusted time and time again. Bungie has shown that they, on MANY occasions, they either ignore A LOT of good ideas from many people like Malphisto, a whole bunch of others and even Lost Sols, whom have had outstanding ideas...or that they are either incompetent or just unable to implement those ideas. Innovative rather than planned obsolescence or extortion/ponzi scheme/pay wall tactics Right!? https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157307267/0/0 But yet they can make purple balls glow at the tower and patch loot caves and fix "issues" with posts going missing REAL quick, sometimes within the same day! But yet the BIG issues go unnoticed or not even acknowledged! Issues like dedicated servers and fixing obvious lag with pvp and even pve. Optional matchmaking...don't get me started...upgradeable year 1 gear. Vault space. The loot system. REMOVAL of content for non ttk buyers. Many more issues still. But I just listed the big ones. And through all of this, what has been bungies approach to the issues they have fixed? 1 step forward and 2 steps back. And I'm not talking about Paula Abduls song neither. For every fix they create more issues, like with the increase in vault space. It was nice and should have been implemented since launch...but was instantly nullified with all the gear they made obsolete with ttk. Then again what do they care when they got our money? Previous currencies nullified with the next dlc. What do they care when they got our money? An obvious beta game for $60 to $100 was sold to us but yet they talk of potential with ttk, when it is WAY PAST the potential part. Day 1 should have been the proof! But what do they care when they have our money? HOW was bought by many just before ttk. And now all of HOW, Crota and VOG is pointless. Almost all the exotics we have now...some of them just recently found...less powerful than any green or blue weapon in ttk! But what do they care, they have our money? We ask for optional matchmaking and their response? Remove some matchmaking! Cause they already have our money! Bungie has shown to us that as long as we continue to give them money, they can make any changes they want regardless if we asked for it or not, why? Because we agreed to their terms when we gave them more money. So...it's fairly obvious that no matter how many great ideas are presented to bungie...no matter how many fixes are brought to their attention...they simply don't care because they know that a lot of people are going to throw money at the screen. They have shown their intentions through their actions and in most cases, inaction! The [b][i]ONLY[/i][/b] thing that [b][i]WILL[/i][/b] motivate bungie and activision to change for the better and learn how to treat their customers is a [b][i]BOYCOTT.[/i][/b] I simply refuse to pay $100 for a beta game and then tell them how to make said game better. I refuse to pay them to do THEIR job! Why should we have to pay to help make a game that SHOULD have been made ALREADY? We didn't have to pay to help make Halo or Halo 2 did we? And why should we pay to only have the rug pulled from under our feet with every "update" or dlc? So...until bungie and activision learn how to treat their customers and fix the big issues with the game I will certainly not give them more money...I will instead... [b][i]BOYCOTT BUNGIE AND ACTIVISION[/i][/b]

          If he could still play the content he currently has, that would be one thing. However the fact that almost the entire game is locked out to him unless he buys the expansion is a crock of shit. As much as I want to buy TTK for how good it looks, I seriously doubt that I can let this slide. As for you idiots that think this is okay, you're the reason this world is in the current cesspool that it is.

          • I am an unemployed college student, Destiny is the only game I have, and I now can't play my system or use the gear i spent DAYS of playtime working for because now i've got uncommon gear better than my exotics. Loyal players shouldn't need to spend $140 just so they can play a game they were able to play without problem before.

              • This is how it went: *Bungie, Sony, Microsoft sitting all in a table, discussing Destiny (Pre-2013)* Bungie: We've did it! It took many years, but bygone, we've made the best, MMORPGFPS-whatever the hell on the market! Xbox: Then will you make us another Halo? c: Bungie: No. Xbox: B-B-But...Bungiepai...343i can't give as much you do... Bungie: I said no! *Bungie backhands Xbox across the face, Xbox cowers in corner* *Sony snickering* Bungie: As I was saying, Destiny will be the most content filled game on the mar- *Activision kicks down door* Activision: IM2MLG4YOUSKRUBS. *activision pulls out DLC Scissors* Bungie: NO! NOT LIKE COD! WE CAN MAKE A GREAT GAME! WE DONT NEED TO MILK THE WALLETS! *Activision pushes Bungie to floor and starts cutting up Destiny into DLCs* *Bungie crying on floor, Xbox reaches over but is kicked away by Sony* *Sony gets on Bungie* Sony: *into Bungie's ear* Now listen here, you're going to be my bitch from now on.....yes...you're going to be my prize bitch. All the exclusives for us... *Sony licks Bungie's ear while Bungie cries* *Xbox is huddled in corner, terrified while Activision cuts up Destiny*

                    http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/131494/behavioral_game_design.php *pro tip. John Hopson, who wrote that thesis on behavioural game design, works for Bungie. Once I realized I was a chimp in a cage, pulling a lever for lettuce... I broke my ass out and am enjoying being free in the jungle again. After thoroughly reading up on the behavioural game design John pioneered, my eyes were opened. Ever wonder why xur and trials only come on weekends? Fixed interval schedule. Ever wonder why they employ random number generators so heavily? Variable ratio contingencies. Ever wonder why crucible map rotations are so random and always change every week to include some and exclude some? Everything in Destiny is solely designed to keep your brain hooked on the little dopamine hits you get. It's the same exact design employed at casinos and cheesy social media games to keep you playing and addicted. I had enough of this shit. The manipulation is real. The only good thing I have to say about it is this... If you are going to be addicted to something regardless, I guess destiny is better than gambling or crack. Just my opinion. *Edit: http://www.dtelepathy.com/blog/products/destiny-a-product-design-teardown-of-the-biggest-video-game-in-history Another good read about how this all applies to marketing.

                    • They 'committed a crime of false advertising' the day of the initial Sept launch, and yet you and many others stuck around, and now are, yet again in repeating history, complaining about the same thing you did at launch. Seems you are suffering from Forever Goodbye Syndrome, where it takes you half a millennium to leave after the fact you said you would. And im just going out on a limb here, but the playlists are locked out to you, not the actual strikes, yes? You can still launch the strikes at their original levels, correct? From my point of view, you're not entirely locked out of content, you're locked out of a [i]certain way to get at the content[/i]. GROSS over-exaggerations show how narrow minded a person can get when they're angry. But, you know, whatever. Can't please everybody, especially people on the internet.

                      • I agree with you 1000%. Bungie is giving players the shaft big time. I thought this MMO would be different. Wish I could get a refund. Feel like I was cheated and led on. My one wish? Bungie would fix all these little goddamn bugs their game has BEFORE ADDING NEW BS TO DISTRACT PLAYERS FROM THE PROBLEMS. Bastards.

                          Fact in order for more dlc and content to be released money is needed to pay developers, coders, bungie employee's etc. If you played the game for more than 1500 hours like myself $140 for that amount of entertainment is a fkn deal. You pay $15 for movie tickets if you wanna go see a movie which will last for about 2 hours. Simple logic 1500 hours of fun + $140 = amazing.on top of all this the dlc is almost like a complete new game well worth it. Edit. Forgot to address your new players get the game for $60, yeah its an old game now and they start from scratch. The seasoned players have everything they grinded for from year 1.

                            • Lets just cut right to it... BUNGIE, have stolen from me and countless other year 1 players. The very players that pre ordered your product at a price over $100. The very same players that have sat in front of there consoles and played this game despite its many issues that were often times game braking. now you want more money.... that cool. I dont have a problem with paying for more content, even though I already had the content on disk from the beginning. What i do have a problem with is being forced to pay for more content in order to continue using the content i already payed for. You took half of my game away and locked it behind a DLC wall. I dont want free DLC, I'll pay for it when im ready. what i do want is all the stuff that I've already paid for that you stole from me! Business practices like this is why i put Destiny down for about 6-8 months. The only reason I put this game back in my disk tray was you complete my House of Wolves DLC and give this game away for free to a friend, so he didn't have to suffer the same financial embarrassment that i did by assuming that he was investing in a great game only to find out it was just a huge ripoff. I cant believe you did this to us!.... i want my money back!

                              • For 40$ the DLC was pretty big compared to the last ones. But everything is in beta test again since the ballance is way off. It wouldve been much better to have the old weapons stand on the same or just little less damage level than the new ones and let the players decide their playstyle with the variety of gunperks. Now they just changed the old modells a little but made year 1 gear useless. After the firstimpressions of the dreadnought the grind kicks back in. Though i love the hakka hakka guns and the new quest menu we still get to run from rahool to postmaster back and forth, we get only the crucible/vangard mix. Legendary marks are the new coins and earning them in PVP is almost impossible to me since there are only fully uprgraded hardcore junkies and my exotic Fabian dont even scratch their shiny armor, or they glitch it. Then i start a 260 light daily with my 277char but i get continious instakilled allready at the mission start without any chance. The balance seems so way off it really deters my from playing right now, then i learn people allready got the black spindle and kept farming the 310exotic to level everything else since bungie allready is on the jump to patch. There were so many wrong decisions that really spoil what couldve been the best choice in gaming right now maybe they get to fix it over time, but they allready try for over a year paying ever so little attention to what players ask for, then all off a sudden the vault gets doubled which was stated impossible before. At all feels like a giant bait and switch to check how far activision customers can be mocked until they quit. For me its not even the money but the huge weapon grind that just got a restart, and i didnt even had leveled raidgear.

                              • I felt the same way. I played a lot when it first came out but then moved on to other games. I decided to check it out again because I heard the new update improved the game and I wanted to see if I was still "into" it before I purchased the Taken King. It is ridiculous that most of the game is unavailable now. I paid for this game. Why am I now unable to play all but one tiny aspect of it? And, if I decide to "pay to play" I have to spend a minimum of $60. Why can't we buy The Taken King by itself? I am not against DLC. I buy all the DLC for games like Forza. But I refuse to pay this price out of spite. Maybe when it goes on sale.

                                • I quit this game because of TTK. it ruined the game for day-one players. And the fact the game is 60.00 for all the expansions when I paid $60 just for the half-ass game then additional $30 for the story that should've already been apart of the game! -blam!-, activision and bungle for screwing out the loyal gamers.

                                  • Nope. It's not false advertising. Anyone with a law degree will explain that they are breaking no laws. But plenty of people who feel ripped off will argue that they are. That doesn't make it true. I think it sucks how so much is cut off from people who don't but TTK, but I also think it sucks that McDonald's won't bring back the Mexican fries shakers. Neither of which I can change. Letting old players level to 40 and complete end game stuff would of been better.
