[quote][quote]Lololol Division won't last past it's year road map.[/quote]
And out of curiosity, why do you say that? And I wouldn't say Destiny is full of players. Rarely are 2 of my friends playing it (used to be 20+), and my clan is going quieter and quieter. I used to play everyday for several hours, but not only hop on if my friends/clanmates need help with IB or Trials.[/quote]
Lack of content. They already cut Brooklyn from the initial release even though it's sealed on the disc. How about Queens, Bronx, Staten Island? All made into DLC to try and prolong the life span.
So you would say Destiny isn't full of players because [u]your[/u] friends list is empty? ... Who are you exactly lol?
Look at the crimson doubles report, over a million unique teams were created and played in the doubles event.

The game we got that was a shell of what it was supposed to be? Hacked to pieces and sold to us in parts? Confirmed by the devs themselves? Yeah that doesn't fly. At least the story in Division probably won't be some disjointed mess.

[quote] Look at the crimson doubles report, over a million unique teams were created and played in the doubles event.[/quote] That's just a number of people pairing with different partners, if it was actually a million teams I'd be impressed. But this stat could be 100k people playing with 10 different partners
-
It was actually 1.9 million unique teams. I can't see people finding 10 different parters lol... I played with 2 but that's just me.
-
I don't believe for one second they had 3.8 individual accounts log in to play Crimson doubles. The number I used was just an example.
-
I would say about 600,000. That's still a substantial number for a year and a half after release.

[quote]I would say about 600,000. That's still a substantial number for a year and a half after release.[/quote] Do you know what the model destiny is designed around is called? The Skinner box. The main reason people are still playing so heavily is simply because they are addicted. They can't help themselves. The studio also employed employees from blizzard to help them insert elements to make the grind addicting and keep people going for that sweet loot.

Edited by DoobieWan_Kenobi: 3/5/2016 6:45:07 PMI think you need to focus less on video games in general. I play Destiny because I enjoy it. I play Farcry because I enjoy it. I play Black Ops because I enjoy it. I play Battlefront because I enjoy it. I play Bloodbourne because I enjoy it. Do you see where I am getting at? The only people who are addicted to Destiny are the people that can't sit and enjoy what it is. The people who try their hardest to discredit Bungie are the people who are truely addicted to Destiny. They want Destiny to be exactly the way [u]they[/u] want it, and if it's not [u]their[/u] way then get ready for some backlash. Sort of sounds like a junkie don't you think?

I hardly play destiny anymore. I'm simply pointing out a fact. You're the one that's endlessly defending the game to begin with. Desticles need their eyes opened.

[quote]Look at the crimson doubles report, over a million unique teams were created and played in the doubles event.[/quote] I guess you forgot that it flopped so horribly they had to bribe people to play?
-
... A million players playing is a flop? You can look at the free 320 ghost two ways - a Bribe, or an actual gift to players who never had the ghost drop. The person who dislikes Destiny will pick bribe. The person who likes Destiny will pick gift. Both contain bias.
-
I like destiny. But it was a definite bribe. They constantly are checking their numbers. I assumed with the success they had from other past events they figured this one would do better.

The ghost was a bribe, and there is a definite fine line between a gift and a bribe.
-
See they didn't bribe anyone to play it. I finished those 7 matches the first day probably along with 80% of the players who participated. The ghost wasn't mentioned until the complaining escalated.
-
The complaints were totally valid though. The event was marketed as the place to get your 320 ghost shell and it wasn't happening. At all. And it was kinda the straw that broke the camels back for a lot of people who have been grinding since September and still max out at 318-319

Edited by Ebelski: 3/5/2016 3:09:03 PMExcept for the fact the only game I've played since I got destiny, is destiny. The fact I'm not going to the division. I'm just not foolish enough to think this game is in a great place right now. Also, let's take myself for example. I think I played with at least 6 different people. So I single handedly account for 6 of 1 million. When you start factoring that in the number of actual players starts dropping.
-
This game isn't in a great place. This game is dead. It's been a year and a half.. What more did you expect out of it? Destiny 2 comes in 2017. I'm only still playing to see this light increase come spring.

Edited by Mr Goodkat: 3/5/2016 2:46:33 PM[quote]Who are you exactly lol[/quote] Someone who used to play Destiny a lot with a lot of people who used to play Destiny a lot as well. [quote]Look at the crimson doubles report, over a million unique teams were created and played in the doubles event.[/quote] And how many quit after realizing it was just 2v2 Trials, but without the lighthouse and without the card? Over a million unique teams who played a couple of times (in theory) is not an impressive number. I'm more interested in the actual numbers of matches without suicide farming, than how many teams were formed and played once. Similar to how many registered users Destiny has versus how many [i]active[/i] users they have. Registered counts people who quit months ago, and a million teams formed counts a unique team of two who played once. Granted, I played Doubles quite a bit, but that's because I needed to finish my doubles grimoire card. I believe Bungie realized that they were losing traction with Doubles, and no one played it, so they handed out a 320 ghost to people who played 7 games. How many people do you think played 10 or more games after that announcement, or played 5 or more before it? How many of those were not suicide farming for a ghost? Without Bungie being candid about this data (when are they ever?), the world may never know.

... A year and a half after release and they had a million unique teams. Your stupid is showing.
-
Ttk was meant as a stand alone release and for me i was bored after a month, all the micro transaction promotional events were a farce.
-
Edited by DoobieWan_Kenobi: 3/5/2016 2:59:20 PM... Don't mention micro transactions because they honestly don't affect you at all. They give no advantage whatsoever and are completely cosmetic. I'm sorry but that hotline bling shit is comical. And TTK was an expansion. Destiny was a stand alone release.
-
[quote]... A year and a half after release and they had a million unique teams.[/quote] Again, how many times have they played? A million teams playing once is not a good number. Your lack of reading comprehension and trollish nature (losing/not understanding an argument, so defaulting to personal unwarranted/unfounded attacks) is showing.
-
Personal attacks? You're displaying how stupid you are. That's it. Tell me how having over a million players participate in an event a YEAR AND A HALF after release is a bad statistic. Please.
-
The division beta had over 6 million for 4 days
-
Check how many people bought Destiny on release or pre ordered and then compare it to how many pre ordered the Division and how many bought it on release.

[quote]Tell me how having over a million players participate in an event a YEAR AND A HALF after release is a bad statistic. Please.[/quote] I already did, twice. Third time's a charm: having a million users play once is a bad statistic. They all play, realize it's terrible, quit with a sense of no point to continue, and now their faith in Bungie is shaken further. That's a bad statistic. Now, call me stupid a third time. Destiny is repetitive and no longer creative (recycled content; Crimson Doubles is just a cross between Trials and Doubles), you like Destiny to the point of being a fanatic, so it makes since you're repetitive and unimaginative as well.
