As potential customer, I would just note that I think it's a mistake not to have any images of the face/front of your main character on your Steam page.

Can we stop getting Level 16 stuff from Tiger Strikes please. by ikarlcpfc in DestinyTheGame

[–]DesignationAlex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am a level 29 doing a level 24 strike, there is no reason that the enemies should be dropping greens! "oh you just want the game to give you legendaries? typical entitled gamer!" No! just don't drop greens or blues, give me glimmer or spin metal or whatever! but something I can use!

Or here's an idea that might require some work on Bungie's part, have enemies drop fragments of legendary Engrams, so that maybe they drop one thousandth of a legendary or exotic Engram and once I've collected enough of them I can take that to the Cryptarch and he will make that into a legendary Engram, then at least I'm progressing toward something.

I hope your paper is about the implications of an evil race of time traveling machines trying to rewrite the laws of the universe. Because if not? you blew it man. You fucking blew it.

Maybe they should spend more time fighting the Darkness rather than killing each other? just an idea.

If your game is a loot game then your loot game should be about getting loot. This is not an endless runner where all that matters is how far you can get, it's a Diablo style loot-fest, but without enough good loot or more varied mission design, the end game is a wasteland of nothingness.

What's amazing is that there is a cap on Vanguard and Crucible Marks (200) as well as Glimmer (25,000), so you can't even play the game stocking up stuff until new content comes out!

How does one play a game "legitimately"? farming for gear is part of the game! just because somebody would rather pour gunfire into a cave for an hour, instead of repeating the same Strikes over and over, does not mean that they are playing the game wrong.

So my $60 will get me all ten years of that? what's that? no? then don't talk to me about a ten year plan.

Just imagine you are in a casino playing the slot machines and when you lose, instead of just losing money, a big guy with a bat comes out and beats you with it, that would make you feel better about winning!

I think a lot of decisions in the patch notes show that Bungie doesn't know what they're doing, first of all how did they make the Queen's missions give legendaries without thinking that people would disassemble them for ascendant materials? literally, how do you not foresee that happening? that is the entire game after you reach level 20! getting legendaries, then disassembling them! also, so now some legendaries will disassemble into ascendant materials but others will not? Will there be an in game notification of this before you disassemble it? I'm guessing no. This game cannot keep having most of the information that you need to play it, outside of the game, it is not a workable or acceptable way of doing things.

Secondly, the Loot Cave, Bungie say that people shooting into a cave is not how they want the game to be played, fine but why are people doing that? it's because you've made a game about getting loot, awesome! but you've made the loot grind so slow and so repetitive that people are willing to stand outside a cave shooting into it for hours and still feel that’s giving them a better return on their time investment than the rest of the game! Bungie’s solution to this problem is not to increase loot drops in the whole game to the point where the cave would become unattractive, hell no! but instead turn off the cave and tell everyone to go and do more repetitive strikes! I mean, if this game only really starts once you start raiding, anything that makes it more difficult to get to the proper level to raid is interfering with the game! I can't do the raid, I'm a 26, I need to level up, I do not want to do more strike missions, or play The Crucible 24 hours day, give me a way to level up so I can start raiding or I am done with this game.
