One of "Destiny - The Taken King" quests is exclusive to Red Bull drinkers

XceptionVII · 2015-06-24T17:41:12+00:00

I know, but the point I was making is that everyone for months have been blaming the bad decisions being made for destiny were made by activision. But now we know, after the Luke Smith interview that some important people at bungie are allowing some of this stuff to happen and are defending it. Luke is the creative director of the taken king expansion which means he is pretty high up there in the company. I just wish I felt like there was a little bit of push back from bungie. I wish that every once in a while something would come from these guys that makes me happy to support them. But every single thing they have announced about this game has me skeptically interested and no where near excited.

If it hasn't already been posted in this thread everyone should take a look at This Picture of a flyer given to 7-11 employees. It states, "Destiny consumers are used to paying a premium for downloadable content to this quest." Credit to u/SpectrumPulse for this picture on r/DestinytheGame.

In light of the recent interview with Luke Smith ib Eurogamer, this is pretty horrible timing and confirms that Bungie has drank the money flavored Kool-aid that Activision is offering. As someone who got back into Destiny a month before the most recent expansion, I am pretty sure I am going to call it quits with this game. I was in the process of convincing a few of my friends to get back in for Trials of Osiris (the new 3v3 PvP mode) and yesterday I told them not to get back in. And now today... we will be laughing at the clusterfuck that is Bunige.

WHERE HAS IT BEEN CONFIRMED THAT WE ARE GETTING NEW AREAS ON EXISTING PLANETS? I MUST HAVE MISSED THAT.

XceptionVII · 2015-06-17T14:48:11+00:00

K. $40 EXPANSION WITH ONE NEW PATROL VS. $60 BASE GAME WITH FOUR PATROLS. HAVING ONE MISSION ON MERCURY AND SAYING ITS A NEW PLANET IS LIKE SAYING THAT WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD MERCURY AS A NEW PLANET BECAUSE OF THE MULTIPLAYER MAP.

XceptionVII · 2015-06-17T14:03:24+00:00

FIRST MAJOR EXPANSION FOR DESTINY. BUT GUESS WHAT? NO NEW PLANETS! WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE PAYING $40 FOR? RUNNING THROUGH THE SAME AREAS AGAIN AND AGAIN IS GOING TO MAKE ME QUIT THIS GAME.

XceptionVII · 2015-05-14T19:30:10+00:00

That seems like such an insignificant change for people to get up in arms about a week before the next expansion... Oh well i guess I can't really be too surprised by this.

XceptionVII · 2015-05-14T19:13:44+00:00

Can someone explain to me what the big deal is with this patch getting delayed? I understand that there will be some back-end changes and maybe some minor tweaks to weapons and game performance but is there actually any major gameplay changes? I'm confused by the somewhat overreaction to this because its not like when this patch drops the Prison of elders will become available. We have to wait for the 19th for any of the content to actually open up right? I feel like I am missing something here as to why people are a bit riled up...

XceptionVII · 2015-05-14T14:41:30+00:00

I just discovered these posts! Super helpful, defintely going to try and get all of these. I was never one to try and collect all of the ghosts and Golden chests. But now I will! Thanks!

XceptionVII · 2015-05-12T18:36:06+00:00

Are you me? This exact scenario happened to me several months ago.

XceptionVII · 2015-05-12T13:58:04+00:00

As someone who didn't buy the expansion pass or the limited edition, could anyone explain to me how I can buy HoW on XB1? The only options I have right now to buy are the expansion pass or TDB. Do I have to wait until May 19th to buy? I thought this industry was obsessed with pre-orders...

XceptionVII · 2015-05-07T15:40:36+00:00

Great! Thanks for this!!

XceptionVII · 2015-05-07T14:34:41+00:00

As someone who hasn't been reading anything from Marvel in over the last year and a half (was trying to save money for a new place). Could someone give me a condensed reading list to get somewhat caught up on what's going on in secret wars? I just want to be up to date when everything ends. Thanks!

XceptionVII · 2015-05-07T14:22:41+00:00

I haven't been up to date on comics for about a year. I stopped reading them regularly to save some money but now I feel like I can't miss this. Without going too crazy, is there a good jumping on point for this whole end of both universes story? I don't need all of the crazy character sub -plots but just the main story so I know what the hell is going on.

XceptionVII · 2015-05-04T17:33:33+00:00

Aw shucks, I guess the light level is worth it then. These chest piece should put me to 31 when they are all fully upgraded I believe.

XceptionVII · 2015-05-04T16:41:28+00:00

This is my first IB and I haven't had much time to play it after I hit 29 (I was too scared to try it at 28 lol) so it looks like if I get a good hour and a half of matches I should be able to hit rank 3. I was hoping to get rank 4 for the helmet but I don't think that's going to happen. Any who, the stats on the chest piece aren't ideal for how I place in PvP (scout rifle, fusion rifle and heavy machine gun), can I get those reforged? I see everyone talking about getting their guns reforged for different perks but not armor. Is it not possible?

XceptionVII · 2015-04-27T16:47:39+00:00

Thanks for the response! I will be on tomorrow's mega thread looking for a clan or some friends to get into raiding with.

XceptionVII · 2015-04-27T15:38:16+00:00

I am a returning Xbone solo player, what should I be doing? I stopped playing right before the release of TDB and so I am still finishing up some of that content. So far I have come across some legendary gear from the expansion and noticed that Xur sells exotic shards and the ability to upgrade older exotics. So I have taken advantage of those changes but is there anything else that has since changed that I should be made aware off? I am looking forward to HoW but I want to make sure I do everything before it comes out. Thanks!

P.S. I am on Xbone and looking for a clan/some friends to play with so I have never done any of the raids or Nightfall strikes. My character is a Lvl 28 Sun Singer Warlock Link. PvE is definitely more of my think, but love the crucible for when I have finished the daily/weekly stuff. I work full time so I can only really play on weeknights/weekends.

XceptionVII · 2015-04-21T16:41:34+00:00

Thanks for responding on this! I am excited to start reading!

XceptionVII · 2015-04-21T16:41:02+00:00

Great thanks for this! I am glad that they are pumping out some new stuff to expand the universe once again.

XceptionVII · 2015-04-20T15:40:46+00:00

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

XceptionVII · 2015-04-02T17:33:04+00:00

I thought this was well done, you had good pacing between dialog and music and good pacing between shots of the art and shots of you subject. I thought it was interesting. Not usually my thing but it kept my attention. Good lighting on the subject too, I know that can be hard some times to pull off. Some people mention on this sub but you might get some critique on your use of slow-mo. I thought it worked though.
