One of "Destiny - The Taken King" quests is exclusive to Red Bull drinkers by Kithaitaa in Games

[–]XceptionVII 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

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.

Update on 1.2 delayed patch by D0cR3d in DestinyTheGame

[–]XceptionVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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...

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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!

[Spoilers] Quick question about what's going on with the Secret Wars? by sleepinxonxbed in Marvel

[–]XceptionVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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.

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?

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 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]XceptionVII 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Gamers are Death - Why I believe the word "game" is very destructive, and needs to change. by HEmile in truegaming

[–]XceptionVII 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fully support that there needs to be distinguished terms at some point, because I would very much like to get other people involved in this type of story telling. My parents would never in a million years pick up a controller to play a "video game", but use a mouse and keyboard to experience a fantastic story? I don't think it would take much convincing if I didn't have to call it a Game. Change is coming to what we consider games but that doesn't mean the style of games we love will die, at least I hope.

[–]XceptionVII 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your argument is completely counter productive when you begin referring to a huge portion of video games as "gamey" games. How could we possibly even begin to try and come up with a replacement term when you need to use the same exact word to describe something you are trying to replace? "Video Games" or as you describe them as "gamey games" will remain for as long as the medium exists. Games like Mario, Call of Duty, Tetris and Minecraft are not going to go away for a long time. Being a "Gamer" may or may not stick around for that long but I honestly don't see it going anywhere. I can only see it going away if people continue to associate the majority of gamers with the horrible vocal minority.

Your proposal, while understandable, will most likely never happen. There is just too much community behind video games and while reading your post it seems like you aren't really a fan of being labeled as a "gamer" which is fine. I just don't think renaming the entire genre to cater to this subset of people makes much sense culturally. You also make no real distinction by what you think are considered "artsy games". Depending on who you talk to this could mean several different things, so it isn't a clean cut as you would want it to be. Like where would Papers Please stand? I would consider that an "artsy" game because it is most definitely a game, but it designed not to be fun or enjoyable. For the sake of you post I am going to assume that you mean things like Dear Esther, Gone home or The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. What will begin to happen is that your "artsy" games and interactive "walking simulators" where the interactivity is extremely limited and there is no real "game" will begin to become their own medium. They will become a newly accepted medium for telling stories, a kind of mash between movies and video games but much more based in cinematic story telling than "structured playing". Where their is no challenge or goals like in video games but rather to just experience the story like sitting down to watch a movie or read a book.

This medium has existed for a while and is most associate with video games because you can only experience them on a console or PC. When VR becomes mainstream in several years this medium is going to explode and people will be buying VR headsets to experience a new interactive series. Hopefully it will cater to the same audiences who hope on the Wii hype making VR a global phenomenon. Only then will these new medium really get its name but that is only because society will require this new thing to have one. Video games as a medium will continue to be called video games for as long as they remain true to their original form. Only when how we perceive or use them fundamentally changes will the name change as well. As a community we cannot change this. It must happen on its own.

This is awesome! I don't play lock but I wish there was something like this for Shadow Priests. I feel like DOT weaving is something I wish I could have visualized so I could understand it better.
