Even so, thats suppose to make it ok? Time gated things like this are the worst. Its lame that we wait a few weeks into this event just to get the quest, buy 10 engrams from the cryptarch and your progress is placed on hold. A quest for a weapon most players have had already in D1.

Whisper is timegated, Wish Ender is time gated, Polaris Lance was timegated, But for some reason, THIS was what set the community off? I bet it was the hype.

[quote]Whisper is timegated, Wish Ender is time gated, Polaris Lance was timegated, But for some reason, THIS was what set the community off? I bet it was the hype.[/quote] Whisper you gain progress as you do the weekly stuff for the catalyst and there is also the ship that you can go and collect. Wish Ender was released 3 weeks after the raid was completed most people were still not ready to raid by that time and were definitely not ready for The Shattered Throne. Polaris Lance was time gated but at least each nascent dawn didn't take 2 minutes to complete unlike the shoot 10 fallen in the EDZ quest.

It’s because this was hyped as part of the Halloween event that ends in one week. So it’s understandable for people to be annoyed if it ends up being a weekly thing.
-
I am pretty sure I remember everyone bitching that Polaris Lance was time gated when we found out.
-
Not me, but that might just be confirmation bias on my part

The quest step took 5 minutes.

Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 8:38:39 PMI was not a fan of those being time gated like that either but at least Whisper was fun and Wish Ender was also fun because the dungeon is pretty cool and being the highest difficulty in the game in terms of light levels, most players would not be at the recommended light level anyways by the time that rolled around. Polaris I did not like how long that took to finish that quest. If this festival quest was introduced in week 1 of the event, fine. But to have players wait until the last week of the event just to wait another couple of weeks is not fun. Litterally we buy 10 engrams from cryptarch, cash them in and its done. Kinda boring.........

Yet time gating literally is in every single modern MMO and/or MMO hybrid. You can't have a living game without time gating items. WoW does it. Division did it. Every live service game has time gating and seasonal items. Please understand what time gating actually is and don't sit there and spread ignorance.

I am pretty sure there is a difference between time gating items or content, and time gating quest steps. I don't understand how you think time gating helps a game stay alive either. Whether they let me log in and do this new quest now, or once a week 3 times, it will still take the same amount of time. I can spend 3 hours up front, or 1 hour 3 times throughout 3 weeks. A game either has enough to actually sustain it, or it doesn't. Destiny is one of those games that doesn't have content good enough to sustain it. So they pull crap like this and artificially extend play time by time gating leveling. I would rather Bungie make the power level 10,000 and let me play as much as I want still making progress if they are so afraid people will stop playing once they have hit max -- which a lot already have.
-
Then design your own game lol. What a crock of shit.
-
Does not make it right. Lmao oh what is time gating exactly? Time gating is nothing but a way to ensure players are hopping on each time the next part of the quest triggers. Its pointless and a bit lazy especially for a weapon we already had in D1. I personally am not a fan of time gating quests.

You must get mad you don't get paid every day you work and have to wait until pay day to get paid then. If we even do get thunderlord, you're getting a free exotic machine gun that's not even technically in the game before black Armoury. You must have hated the whisper quest too because you had to wait to get it as well. Time gating is the way to prolong a products life by allowing for time to perfect dlc, stage challenge in tiers to allow for certain players to reach a certain milestone, and of course make sure people cannot burn through their game in a week (like destiny vannila did). But you won't listen because your ignorant.

Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 8:15:15 PMLMAO your comparing real life earning money from working for it to a video game which is suppose to be a way to get a break from the real world. Seriously? So you think a video game should feel like a chore then? People play video games to have a break from responsibilities. We already what 9 weeks into forsaken by now players should have nearly everything in the game. Your explanation is no different than my explanation for time gating. This should have been introduced week 1 of Festival.

These are all -blam!-ing opinions. WOW has been out since 2004 and there are still -blam!-ing items that people haven't gotten due to rarity and seasonal time gates. I used an easy comparison because it is obvious you're emotionally motivated in this. You give no supporting statements other than "this is what I feel". People who play the game "hardcore" should and mostly likely do have everything. You're FAR from hardcore so please don't even attempt to try and reason. You're an ignorant child.
-
Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 8:37:04 PMI am stating my personal opinion. Calling someone an ignorant child over an opinion, wow aren't you emotional lol Ive have put in a butt load of hours into Forsaken, I can say I am hardcore, but being hardcore does not make someone suddenly agree about things being time gated, people are going to have different opinions, did I be little you in any way? If your going to try and convince someone by explaining your own opinion and act like a jerk about it by making assumptions on the person your trying to explain too, your opinion loses all substance, only children do that. If you can't have a proper discussion, don't bother discussing at all. No need to get butt hurt over someone's opinion.

This is untradable and riddled with grammar and spelling errors. Stop typing with your face.
-
Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 9:00:56 PMAw resorting to correcting grammar on a social site lmao. Were not all aiming to become authors or English teachers, this is also not a job interview either. This is a social site, who cares.
-
Edited by i_Duncant: 10/30/2018 9:03:33 PMI cannot read your argument because I cannot read what you wrote. It literally is unreadable. As in I cannot understand you because it does not make syntactic sense. -blam!- youre stupid.
-
Dunno if it was intentional or not but... you're*
-
Besides your incorrect use of ellipses you're technically correct. Chalk it up to phones and what not.
-
Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 9:09:17 PMlmao yet you were responding just fine to each one, my comment is pretty damn clear. Your only resorting to this because you have nothing else to say. Obviously this conversation is done so ill be the better person and move on already.
-
And yet you had to declare yourself the better man. What a -blam!-ing idiot. It is not over actually. You just repeated the same sewage of a point you've been spraying this entire time. You're nothing but opinions with no statements to back you up. You're reasoning is idiotic and sad. You have no ground to stand on and you have no idea how to type coherently. Goodbye.
-
lmao good-bye hope your day gets better and happier!
-
You won't get the last word and your semblance of good manners is laughable in your attempt to get the last word. Keep trying chief.
-
Edited by Reduxred: 10/30/2018 9:26:42 PMI thought you could not understand my comment earlier, so how do you know I am saying the same thing if you say you could not understand lol you've also been acting like a jerk and belittling. I hope you find some positivity in your life....but anyways, later man, have a good day!
