Bungie's gone full retard with this one. Or is it full Activision?

Bungie backtracked on some of the stuff previously announced for the upcoming expansion pack. Got rid of the issue or needing to rebuy stuff again and lowered the pack's price.

Quote:
Today, however, Bungie and Smith posted a large update on its website apologizing for the comments writing, "Reading my interview with Eurogamer and imagining it came from some random developer of a game I love – that random developer looks like an Asshat. But that Asshat was me – and those words rightfully anger you. I'm sorry." The update also reveals that the content Destiny's most dedicated fans want – the in-game emotes and armor shaders – will be available for $20 without the the need to re-buy the original game and the DLC.

But you see; the DLC is $40. And now we can get the CE content for another $20. So in the end we'll be paying *drumroll*

...The price of the CE package.

Nothing has changed except transactional semantics. Well played, Activision.

So, TTK collectors edition will be $80. TTK is $40, animation of a man dancing is $20, so the full original destiny and the two expansions are also valued at $20. The temporal value of a dance animation.

Of course this will translate to £20 here, about $30.

Edit: Also, are the playstation missions still playstation exclusive? Will they always be? Are you folks playing Destiny with LESS content than I am?

The Year 1 PS exclusives will be unlocked for XB when the Taken King comes out. The Year 2 PS exclusives will be exclusive until Sept. 2016.

I paid 40 for two DLC expansion. The emotes should be free with that sort of pricetag.

I paid $52 for those fucking expansions. So that I can join up with my MMO recovering friend and fight our way through the Prison of Elders while a third guy sits there waiting for the loot.

Happy that AFK shit don't fly in the higher level Prison of Elders. Mostly because you have to make a fireteam rather than get paired with some random asshole.

Better up the vault capacity. Pretty much out of space for all my shaders, ships, emblems, and odd ball stuff in that right column.

Bungie recently hired the creator of Destiny's subreddit as their new community manager for the game.

Quote:
The creator of the subreddit for Destiny has leveraged his message board helpfulness into a paying gig at Bungie. The Destiny developer has hired a new community manager, and it went straight to a leader in one of the game's largest communities to do so.

In a post on Bungie's site, Chris Shannon (known as "Cozmo23") was introduced in his new role. "I now aim to better serve the larger Destiny community alongside those who create and maintain the game," Shannon said.

He continued "My job is to be your voice, or at the very least your interpreter, filtering the firehose of information on Bungie.net, as well as on social media. I’ll also be empowering all of you to keep creating the great community content that we all enjoyed throughout year one."

Notes on the upcoming big weapon rebalance. Twin Nerf Sticks swung by Daredevil here. Some decent buffs, though. And a rather interesting approach to modifiers going forward.

Why are they touching the Gally? That thing is easily the hardest weapon to land in that game...and for good reason. Just make that shit extra rare in drop, or, hear me out here....buff some of the other rocket launchers such as the Dragon's Breath? Maybe give it tracking?

Can totally get behind that Thorn nerf though. Fuck that gun

Nah. Hawkmoon is harder. Some weekends you'll luck out and Xur will have the 'horn on sale.

These days, if you got LFG and a Gjallerhorn, you're pretty much in with anybody if you need to get up to 34.

Thorn taking a hit sucks. But since Pulse rifles are getting another kick, may start doing Dragon Strikes and get my hands on a Pilgrim.

Bit of conspiracy flying around right now. Xur ain't selling a weapon today. It was supposed to be a Gjallerhorn. Here's a snapshot of someone from Germany jumping in when he showed up, got kicked to orbit when he tried to buy it, went back, gone.

Yeah... I still don't have a Gjallahorn.

I would have preferred not so much a nerf for Thorn as a physical way to counteract the burn. If everyone could wear some form of armor/class mark so that cheap shit chip damage doesn't work, people will stop using that as the go-to for lack of aim.

No way Gally was pulled after announcing the nerf. That's too juicy a story.

Thorn taking a hit sucks. But since Pulse rifles are getting another kick, may start doing Dragon Strikes and get my hands on a Pilgrim.
Hopscotch is the business. I buffed it on a humbug, and didn't realize how great perfect stability would be. I was all about increasing range, and so in love with scout rifles... Now, I can feel elite in PvP against Last Words and use my exotic somewhere else.

Not everyone has a Kinnect. Fumbling with buttons and menus to do the same thing mid game is a pain in the ass, too.

No it isn't. Tap-tap-(X). I do it all the time. One time I did it between a combo in KI.

Its not intuitive to me; matter of timing. I end up backed out of the game instead of opening the snap menu, all while the game is still happening. Coincidentally, this is also why I'm not adept at fighting games like KI.

Point is, I'd have snapped it with my phone too. And I'd believe it was supposed to be Gally because of course my luck rolls that way. I could *finally* get my hands on one, and this is when they decide to nerf it so it gets yanked from Xur... and now I will finally get it in a random drop now that its power has cut.

Makes sense though....why would Xur NOT be selling a weapon this week? My initial reaction was "he was selling the Gally", so I actually do believe it, even if its a shitty thing for Bungie to do.

Then again, it seems like Bungie has a "whack-a-mole" approach to this game in general, with things getting nerfed whenever they rise to popularity.

Yeah, popular and cheap aren't really the same thing. The issue with the Thorn or shotguns or auto rifles or Gallys or anything else isn't so much that "ZOMG theyr totes OP, guyz!", it's that there isn't some skillful way to counterbalance someone using the perks (not necessarily literal item perks) of the weapon as a crutch for being unskilled. Why try to land 2-3 aimed headshots with a good scout rifle when I can use the (easy target here) Thorn to land almost a half a clip of wild, unaimed body shots and let the burn do the work? The Vex isn't even *that* effective from errant fire, and they're way harder to get. Why not point and fire a rocket into a general direction and have it hit somewhere near my target and have it shoot faster than reaction avoidance time allows, and either kill for me from the explosion itself, the blast radius, or the after effect... instead of one I literally have to "aim"?

People are going to naturally gravitate to such "fire and forget" options. Hell, every post HoW shotgun I have rerolled has auto fire so I don't "need" to use Invective. But the answer isn't to keep changing the balance of the classes. That will just make people find the new exploit, and then THAT will be the next "wahh, overpowered!" The better solution would be to find a way to counteract the OP... like the bright red tell from an aimed sniper's scope stops most players from going ghost as a hunter and camping invisibly for the entire match: it's not a gimmie.

Well I think that would lead to a game that's very hard on everybody. Time to kill would be quick if you buffed every weapon. It would be easier to nerf a few big offenders.

My question, though: how exactly is making the launcher even rarer by pulling the purchace and making it weaker on top going to help prevent people from using Gally as a LFG prereq? It is already ingraned as the measuring stick by which all other rockets are measured, and unless it's nerfed down to Sultan territory, that likely isn't going to change. I'm not seeing the logic of the explanation on that part.

Here's something Bungie is apparently forgetting: There's a fuckin PvE aspect to this game. Why would you nerf a Gally exactly? Is Crota complaining too much about it being OP?

I run consistently with a team that have 3-4 Gallys, and it doesnt make Raids any easier. We still need to time shots, we still need communication.

The fact that people are running the Prison with a Titan with the weapons of light bubble + a maxed out Gally = taking down the boss really, REALLY fast. And since the Thorn is the preferred weapon of choice for the Trials because the DoT there is stupid powerful.

The gang over at Bungie believes that's not how you should be playing the game. And gotta do things the hard way. Now the fun part is trying other guns and looking for those small exploits. Hence my point with the Hopscotch Pilgrim a few posts back and how it wrecks in PvP these days.

To be honest that's an issue with bosses that aren't challenging so much as having bloated HP and cheap gimmicks (strong mooks, annoying challenges). Of course people would find a way to kill the bosses as fast as possible rather than find out how to survive boss encounters and master the challenges.

Right, completely agree with Kalyx on this one. Look at the AI in Bungie's Halo days, vs Destiny. Better yet, let Dunkey tell you:

Bungie: "Let's make a boss that burns the floor for 15 seconds of unavoidable chip damage!"
:everyone starts running Warlocks with Angel:
Bungie: "Oh, well *that* wasn't supposed to happen!"

What did you *think* would happen? Was everyone supposed to huddle together with their thumbs up their asses? That's child game 101; if the floor is lava, you don't touch the floor!

Also, killing bosses, as Kalyx put it "as fast as possible" is how you counteract a time sink. Not everyone has an hour to spend throwing puny bullets at a guy who almost instantly re-shields. Blow that motherfucker up in ten minutes!

But seriously, I still feel there should be balance in PvP in other ways besides buffing/nerfing weapon classes.

For example, a person using the Titan was mostly going through with Fist of Havoc until the Saint-14 came on the scene. Then, that gave a reason to actually USE a bubble vs other players, as overzealous shotgunners would charge to their blind dooms while shooting where the target used to be. However, there is still the fact that nobody can shoot through the dome, out or in, and also a well placed grenade can get a multikill off of those who had a false sense of security and low/empty shields and/or crap armor. It has pros and cons. You have to think about what you're doing if you use or attack against it. THAT'S what there needs to be more of.

Dinklage took the money and ran. Can't believe he's gonna be non-existent in a few more weeks.

The fact that legendary gear can't be upgraded for Taken King is gonna make some of the good guns unusuable. Guess I got some time to get my Vault of Glass guns maxed out.
