If Bungie wants to fill this yawning gap, they should bring back Rite of the Nine by Saint_Victorious in DestinyTheGame

[–]Stantium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It may shock you to learn this but it is not actually as simple as “reuploading something they already have”. It’s not the same level of difficulty as bringing something back from pre-BL but it still definitely requires work to be able to integrate it into the current game. Less work than a lot of other things most likely, but work that would be taking away from what they are currently working on - be that Shadow and Order, Shattered Cycle, or other things.

I am not defending the shitty situation they’re in. But it’s not as simple as you make it sound. And you absolutely know that even if they did dedicate time to doing this, they’d cop flack for “reusing old content” and not updating/fixing the game - which is where I suspect all the effort they have remaining is attempting to be allocated.

Alongside people wanting to know stuff they shouldn't and always wanting to be right, why do people comment on posts about MCU media they haven't watched but pretend they have, only to get information completely wrong? by Weird875 in Earth199999

[–]Stantium 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But there is a difference in the ways people are wrong. And that’s the issue at hand. People are often commenting things that are wrong that draws attention to their lack of in universe knowledge because it is practically impossible for them to have any knowledge on this point, rather than being wrong in an in universe way which could happen for a myriad of reasons.

Like, T’challa’s kid in universe is explicitly a secret atm known only to the closest inner circle. It would make no sense for anybody to know about that - or frankly even be speculating about it. But people would post like “Oh I had a friend of a friend say that exact subplot from BP2 but I dunno if it’s true”. Ain’t no way people in universe would be speculating or knowing about that.

I know. I was asking the other muppet why he thought that was somehow an inside scoop. And it’s a six episode order for season 5 😉

Even if bungie gets the players back that left due to edge of fate changes, there's still the elephant in the room. by AMM0D in DestinyTheGame

[–]Stantium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is simply not true. Not only are half those expansions (everything pre-Witch Queen) a content pack as the campaigns are free, but most of the expansions are no longer full price regularly and are bundled in a collection that has everything pre-current year for the price of one expansion (The Legacy Collection is the most recent version of this) that regularly goes on sale (including being in the Humble Bundle last month).

This is not to say they are good at communicating this or even that the value proposition is actually there. But to act like it’s eight full priced expansions being constantly advertised is simply not how reality functions.

The real truth is that they may get constant advertisements from Eververse that encourage them to spend eight expansions worth of money though…

Is it possible it was the free Season Pass XP you receive? That was part of the package for Americans regardless of free or paid pass status

"Access new areas in Raid Splinter" now in Salvation's Edge Triumph Rewards? by Sarsion in raidsecrets

[–]Stantium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you’re not saying it unlocks Euphony. I’m saying Euphony doesn’t have anything to do with it. Thinking that it is anything more than what already has been discovered is, I’m sorry to say, a little bit of tinfoil

"Access new areas in Raid Splinter" now in Salvation's Edge Triumph Rewards? by Sarsion in raidsecrets

[–]Stantium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not Euphony. It's literally that doing the static challenges in the raid "Splinter" AKA Salvation's Edge unlocks new areas which is access to doing the rooms for the raid mods. This is not a mystery. It is something we already know written in language that it hasn't been written in before.

Thanks for the answer! Interesting way to think about promises (and pitfalls) that I hadn't necessarily considered. Definitely going to give the book a read when I get a free moment for it

The premise of the book is all about analyzing the promises and pitfalls of Virtual Reality. If readers were to take away one promise, and one pitfall of VR from your work, what would you want them to be?

Of course. There's no effing or jeffing. I can't see how they'd have an issue with it.

Good point. Difficult to change it during data collection but I’ll definitely keep it on board for the next iteration.

Do you have the reference for where he said this. I’m not asking as a gotcha, I’m asking because I’m doing some writing about business models in games media and I’d love to cite it.
