Agreed vaulting was one of the most scummy practices i have seen in gaming to date. I felt robbed as a gamer and the company has never recovered in my eyes. The latest announcements have been cooling but they owe us that. Especially if you bought the base game and dlcs. I no longer respect bungie nor the employees. Greed ruins companies. And so does bad leadership seems as if tho bungie has both. Continue to do good will towards your community and earn your respect back as a AAA studio. Until then DO NOT TRUST BUNGIE!

CoD is a very different game all and all. Destiny functions as an interconnected MMORPG as a first person shooter. You need to think of Destiny more like World of Warcraft or Final Fantasy 14 and less like Borderlands or Call of Duty. In the version of Destiny your imagining we would be able to download a PVP pack. The problem come with the fact that sub classes, exotics, and piles of other player power used in the Crucible are all tied to PVE content. This means either Bungie would need to farther chop up the matchmaking pools or the PVP players would need alternative means to unlock ALL of that stuff. This would require a massive restructuring to Destiny. So much so that it wouldn't really be the same game. If games like Destiny provide alternative means or short cuts to accessing player power or end game loot then player will take those short cuts. All of the sudden all that cool story a bunch of devs worked on is simply ignored by the masses. I think what Destiny would truly benefit from is simply an opening of the content vault. A group of people at bungie have made a very cool narrative the highlights of which are there NPCs both pro and antagonist. Having so many of those narrative stories unavailable to players really dose a massive dis-service to the game. It is also the reason Sony management has commented that Bungie is not very economical developer. They frequently spend time and resources making content that they remove a year later. Take the hall of heros. A team at bungie had to model, render and texture that whole hub. In about 2 months that will be removed from the game completely. The team over at Bungie needs to start thinking more economically about there content development if they want to continue to run a live service. Right now the games full price point to unlock everything is an excess of 300$. That is ridiculous. How do you expect to draw in new players if they need to pass a 300$ pay wall to get everything they need (subclasses and exotics) to partake in the end game. Bungie has spoken about wanting to have fire team power levels for accessibility and inclusion but they won't rip down there biggest factor which alienates newer players. I don't think anyone should need to pay over 150$ to access all of Destiny's end game content (annual pass included) All legacy expansions and content should be folded in to the most current expansion purchases that way people can take a break or start playing at an affordable price. This would ensure the long term health of player population. On top of that old seasonal story content shouldn't be removed. It is important to the larger story so it should remain in the game even if you remove the battle pass when that season ends. Bungie needs to think of the long term health of there community if they want to continue to hold there place as one of the more popular and well known live services.

the game moves on, you should try it too. if you played it when it was out you got what you paid for.

It sucks but the sad truth is we are basically paying to rent digital content now as we don't actually own it which sucks a lot I miss redwar. Hope laws change and bungie are forced to give us back content we paid for.

Destiny already kind of has that. The other day I was farming Kalli with someone who didn't have Shadowkeep. Bungie could easily let us pick which expansions we want to download if they really wanted to.

That won't happen. I mean, we're set to lose Lightfall seasonal content in a month's time. This would imply the corporate cares about the quality of the product and not just schemes to make the hopelessly devoted pay full price for low-mid tier quality batches of content. But what WILL happen is another sunset of weaponry in the future.

I understand that this is a complex issue from a development and united player experience standpoint, but I was just saying in another post that they should make a content manager that lets you download Year 1 and you can play any of the story/raid/strike stuff with only solo or private teams who also have it downloaded. Matchmaking would be impossible probably. Then when you have had your fill of that content package, you delete it with the content manager and download the next "Year 2" pack or something like that. Wouldn't really need to have planetary exploration or seasonal content in there. It is probably much more complex to implement that in the current system/engine, but that is just one more reason I am interested in them making a new game with long term systems that are more meant for a long-term MMO. Anyone know how Warcraft handles files and data availability?

Youre going to get a lot of the "yOu DoNt OwN iT, iTs JuSt A LiCeNsE" crowd that doesnt care what happens to their money. The reall reason they wont bring that stuff back is because bungie lacks both the resources and skill to do so. Their "servers" arent realy servers theyre some hybrib crap that can barely handle what they have now hince why they had to remove stuff (they were told to have dedicated servers for D2 but bungie knows best and now we're suffering their limitless knowledge), then the devs themselves as shown through D2s life cycle no longer have the skills to bring that content up to par, most of them wouldnt even be worthy of being unpaid interns at any half decent studio. Best thing that could happen to this franchise is sony completely take over and oust bungie, only way theyll ever actually profit of the destiny franchise.

I'd love to see the rest of D1's Venus with D2's visuals. Or a new location on Venus exclusive to D2. That'd also be pretty cool.

Clearly you don't understand what you purchased. You did not purchase Disneyland, you purchased the ability to stand in line, walk around and ride the rides. Your purchase of Destiny 2 content gives you the ability to play what Bungie allows you. You didn't purchase nor do you own the content.

It's not actually "our" content.
