Breaking News: Bungie Stoops to New Lows
Well, it isn't really "breaking news". The entire year, Bungie has been treating the community like shit and now that the new exotics have been released (along with the patch notes), I'm not sure I want to play Destiny anymore. The game had so much promise, but I might just have to move on to ARK or whatever they are cooking up at Highwire Games. Below are my 3 reasons to quit Destiny. Look at bottom for the gist.
[b]1.[/b] Overpriced DLC:
My first reason has to do with the price of the game. In addition to selling us an incomplete game for 60$, Bungie regularly asks for 20-40$ to stay in the game. These "DLC's" make previous content obsolete and force players to change their weapons to crappy year two weapons with terrible perks (Battle Runner on an exotic!?!). In fact, Bungie goes so far that they have to NERF all the previous perks to make the new and "improved" ones look good. So why don't they just add new, better weapons that people WANT to play with? It's anybody's guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Another thing that bothers me greatly is that Bungie is locking people out of content that THEY PAID FOR unless they get the DLC. People won't be able to do Nightfalls or Weeklies anymore unless they spend 40$! This is unfair and really shouldn't be legal!
[b]2.[/b] Bungie Throws Veterans under the bus:
Ok, so we get a shader, an "upgraded sparrow" and an emblem. SO WHAT! Bungie has frequently offered the game at a reduced price for NEW PLAYERS ONLY! And they make old players feel like the hundreds of hours that they poured into the game were useless because all their old gear became that. I understand that the games price will decrease over time, but people don't want to play a premium for a game where they will be set back to square one each and every expansion. Also, the VIP rewards are obtainable of you pre-order TTK and get to level 20 before it is released (which isn't hard to do). This makes the VIP rewards feel useless and not very special because someone could obtain them if they got a copy of TTK and played a decent amount of time.
[b]3.[/b] Post what you think your 3rd reason would be! If you don't agree with my sentiments, then post why you are not quitting Destiny!
[b]The Gist:[/b] Bungie has lied to the fanbase, made weapons obsolete to make the new ones seem ok (at best), and they have overpriced their DLC. They also treat the Veteran players like crap and "listen to the community". I DARE Cozmo to respond to this.
[b]Edit 1:[/b] When I tried to post #bumpfortruth as a tag, it wouldn't let me. Makes you think...
[b]Edit 2:[/b] I'm seeing some very insightful comments, keep them coming!
[b]Edit 3:[/b] I'll try to respond to everyone's comments, it may take a while though
[b]Edit 4:[/b] Over 200 comments and #3 on trending! Keep Bumping!
[b]Edit 5:[/b] Over 300 comments!

1 ReplyOverpriced DLC isn't because of Bungie. Activision decides it.

30 RepliesI laughed my ass off last night. Fired up Destiny on my PS4, downloaded the update, and went out into the small, confined "wilds" of Destiny. I had my trusty 365 Vision of Confluence (now nerfed down to 165 or something like that), and the Field Scout Perk... why even bother to keep this Perk on the weapon, Bungie? I mean really, if it doesn't increase the magazine size, what's the goddamn point? And the Perfect balance Perk!? You dropped down its benefit by almost [b]HALF[/b] of what it was. So a "perfectly balanced" weapon could still have stability issues? Do you morons even have a -blam!-ing clue what you're doing? (obviously not...) Then I tried Pulse Rifles, Sniper Rifles (Ice Breaker and the Black Hammer are -blam!-ing [b]SHADOWS[/b] of the weapons that they were two days ago...), Gjallarhorn (RiP), and the list goes on. When firing from the hip, The Last Word was still somewhat useful in PvE. Run up on some enemies, unload the clip, profit. After 2.0? -blam!-ing [b]DREGS[/b] are an issue when using TLW. This new weapon imbalance is so bad, I really did laugh. It is such a waste of time that it brought real humor to think that you guys at Acti$hit/Bungle still think that this game is quality or even a serious attempt at a competitive shooter. Seriously, Bungle. Are the weapons you've designed and made for TTK [b]that horrible[/b] that you have to destroy everything fun left in Destiny in order to make them seem relevant!? They must be that bad because you've had to eviscerate every -blam!-ing weapon in the game to prepare for the new stuff to drop on people... If nothing else, you've proven one thing very, very well. That Bungie.new is merely a flaccid shadow of the talented developers that made Halo with Old Bungie. You've very well proven that the developer that made Halo has died a gruesome death, and only a shallow shell of that once-great developer remains. I laughed as I removed Destiny from my disc drive, and chuckled as I placed that same disc underneath my mug of coffee. Because with Weapon Imbalance 2.0, that's all destiny is good for now. Use as a colorful coaster. If you get [b]any[/b] good reviews over this update, it will be because you [b]paid[/b] for those kind words. No one in their right mind would give Weapon Imbalance 2.0 a "thumbs-up" unless they're on your payroll. Vampire, out.

3 RepliesBungie won't be honest with us, but the message for Year 2 is clear: pay up or get out. There will be a lot of Guardians quitting forever.

8 RepliesReturn of the TDB ascension system (basically Xur upgrading without randomness) and deprecation of HoW ascension. I thought they said they had "learned their lesson" with the debacle that was TDB?

Currently, people can preorder Destiny plus all three expansions for $60 USD, which is approximately the price most payed for just Destiny nearly a year ago. Since then, veteran (day-one) players have poured out another 40 dollars for both the Dark Below and House of Wolves. With the Taken King added in, this will amount to a whopping $140 for all three expansions, plus the game. On the other hand, newer players get all of this (and more) for nearly half the price. This is an injustice on behalf of the veteran players. In response to our loyalty, we get a sparrow, a shader, and an emblem, while these new players get 3 free Exotics (with special XP-boosting perks), 3 Shaders, and 3 new emotes. This is hardly fair to the veteran players, who have paid more for this game than any new player has or ever will. This petition is designed to let Bungie and Activision know that we will not stand for this, and that we want what we deserve. We are asking that veteran players (it should be easy to discern older players from the newer ones) receive the same perks that the Collector's Edition purchasers are receiving (the free Exotics, sparrow, shaders, and emblem), due to the fact that we have already paid more than enough for it. For this to work, Bungie would need to introduce a Digital Collector's Edition featuring solely The Taken King. Thanks for the support. https://www.change.org/p/bungie-activision-give-year-1-players-the-same-perks?recruiter=377847320&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=copylink

1 ReplyEdited by gogohoffman: 9/14/2015 12:56:27 AMI quite already. I'm sticking here to see the changes and more problems. Seeing the issues continue, solidifies my opinion on stopping the support of Destiny. What I didn't see coming was the Hopscotch Pilgrim Nerf. Of all the effort to get it, they destroyed it down to a 55-A-Allfate.. Horrible..

I honestly believe that, since bungie claims that this game isn't an mmo, that they shouldn't be allowed to use the pay to play model of MMO's. If people remember how bad the game was before then they shouldn't pay bungie to keep screwing over it's fan base. If no one paid for this new sack of bugs and glitches then maybe bungie would reconsider screwing over its customers next time. Everything in this newest update are things that the community has been asking for since the game came out. The first thing that someone should think when they see that is "but I thought that bungie listened to the community." Bungie made the promise that the game would evolve with the players/community but they purposefully forced weapons to under preform and over preform as their whims changed. There was a developer who claimed this in an open interview. So it's not like we don't have evidence of this.

Don't like it, quit. Nobody's forcing you to play a game. If you don't enjoy it, go out and find something else to do.

7 RepliesI respectfully disagree. I can see why you feel cheated, but I think you are wrong and don't understand how these things work. I guess this was bound to be since Bungie chose to explore an area that is kind of middle ground between ordinary FPS and MMO. You can argue the Destiny isn't an MMO at all, because you feel it's not "massive" enough, but that is neither here nor there. There are two ways to extend the life of a game brand. The standard method is the release new games every year. Each game is a separate entity. Each year they fiddle with the basic COD brand and package it as a new game. You can replay it as many times as you want, and maybe you can buy some extra game time, in the form of a DLC or two, but the story ends where it ends. The MMO type of game, let's you keep your avatar and let it grow through the game's evolution. The only way the developers can keep adding content, is if they can sell the additional content. Want to continue your story, beyond the original game, sorry but it's not free. As I said, it doesn't matter here or there, if Destiny fits your description of a proper MMO, Bungie and Activision has obviously made the decision to make a game that will grow and expand in the way MMO like WOW do, so they have adopted the financing model for MMO too. I really don't see how they could have done anything else, if they're serious about keeping the game alive for 10 years.

8 RepliesEdited by BenderBRodriguez: 9/9/2015 5:34:16 PMBreaking News!!! From the desk of DeeJ: "Year one Guardians, we have heard your reasonable requests and have decided to make good on all the wrongs we have done you. The Taken King will be free for all year one players. As an added bonus, year one players will receive every exotic in the game and now can equip one of every slot at the same time! Each weapon is now a one shot kill FOR EVERYTHING (eat shit and die in crucible year two assholes!) and year one players are now invincible! Year one players also have unlimited ammo and never have to reload their weapon. All abilities of year one players are infinite instacasts and last as long as you want. Go forth and conquer like the bosses you are year one Guardians, you deserve it!" Well, there you have it, finally, this game will be worth playing! Thanks DeeJ and thank you Bungie!

They're also trying to force PVE people to play PVP.

Man people really never stop complaining about so called "pay walls". As they talk about it from their computer or smartphone while paying for Internet talking about a game they play on a console. Stop being cheap.

Just leave no one wants to hear your constant ranting about how overpriced and all this and that about destiny if you don't like it just go I assure you that Bungie doesn't need you anyways
