Bungie - Destiny

Re: Bungie - Destiny
It's interesting to see some of the comments in here, given how some of us who initially started playing GTA V, or Bloodborne, or MLB (or all of the above
) instead were looked at like we were "moving on". Some of the comments here sound like Bungie's offices are about to be the site of the newest raid.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
From a business standpoint, I get it. Why offer two raids in a $30 bundle that most people preordered sight unseen in the first place. The game has had a significant drop off over the past couple months and they might as well make a couple bucks selling it to the die hard people that still play the game in the fall when they come up on the one year anniversary.
I'm ready to fully move on. I got my enjoyment out of the game while it lasted. I have plenty of other games to play until Destiny 2 comes out (assuming they don't fuck that one up too).

Re: Bungie - Destiny
and did you feel that way prior to today's info?
different strokes ....
I've felt like I've got my money's worth thus far and anything else will be gravy
unlike you I have some confidence that gravy will be tasty (even without a raid)
I'll wait to be proven wrong instead of evaluating the content based solely on the limited info revealed today

Across all 3 characters......... 10 days, 7 hours.
This game has cost me roughly 0.36 cents per hour of playtime. I'd say I've definitely gotten my money's worth out of it.
I'm disappointed there is no raid too, however, I will reserve judgement until later. Either way, I've had fun with the game and if this is my swan song in it, then so be it.... it was a fun ride.

At least they posted a pic of a 365 Fatebringer. If it was a 365 Ghorn Bungie would be trolling me big time.

4.5 days for me. I'm a wee little baby. Haven't actually played since the last expansion dropped except to buy Icebreaker off Xur, I think. Last thing the app sez is a patrol on Venus on December 14th.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
28 Days, 18 hours... and I haven't touched this game in over a month. I'm embarrassed at the amount of time I spent in this game.
According to the Destiny app, my most recent game was February 28. But I can definitely say I got my money's worth, even if I don't come back for the HoW DLC that I already paid for. But I probably will, at least to check it out.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
looks like Bungie may have found a way to shut out the data-miners ... now if only they could fix their grammar
Hey guys, Spider here again. I have a bit of bad news and good news. BAD NEWS: When 1.1.2 releases in a bit, Megaman and I will be unable to datamine for any future stock or nightfalls, as Megaman said, bungie found a way to prevent us from datamining and they plan to prevent us in the 1.1.2 patch. GOOD NEWS: Next weeks nightfall looks like The archon priest/Omnigul, Data is unclear and this will not be determined due to the patch. XUR- Only able to retrieve weapons/engrams for this week (4/17/15), Not sure if this is correct, data is unclear but it looks like he is selling TLW and boot (After HoW?), Arm, or helmet engram. This can all change IB- It was delayed, once again, after the patch, we will be unable to datamine for Lord Saladin. It looks like he will be selling Boots, Arms, OR a helmet. Weapon unknown at this time. -Spider EDIT- I know I spelling "Regarding" wrong in the title
EDIT2- Next weeks nightfall data is showing up for 3 different strikes: Askor, Omnigul, and Phogoth. Not sure which one will be the nightfall next week
EDIT3- Nightfall for this week was correct, it was Sepiks prime. The juggler perk was changed by bungie to Lightswitch
EDIT4- Should bungie ask me to stop, or delete any posts, I will do so.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
Checking notes to see if progression system is still complete dog shit.
Yup.
But it could be worse. I could be grinding levels on gear with marginally better rolls when those rolls are almost certain to be reset.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
13 days, 6 hours
haven't played more than 2 hours in the last month
not really an issue of getting my money's worth. They could never release another piece of DLC and I would have gotten money's worth out of this game several months ago.
just wanted another raid to do with the daggers. maybe the arena will be comparable.

Re: Bungie - Destiny
I loved the raids, too (I still don't feel like I began playing "real" Destiny until IceRat brought us into the Daggers, so we could finally raid). Vault of Glass is the single best piece of content in the entire game, bar none.
But, for those of you who ever sunk time into terrorist hunt in Rainbow Six Vegas, or poured your life force into late night Horde runs in Gears of War, I wouldn't write that new mode off just yet. If it is like that, I think that we will find it more than fun. Bungie did fine having a mode like this in Halo with Firefight, and, if it is like that, this should be a blast. Plus, it will be 3-man groups, so no more impatiently waiting for when one of us is late to a raid, or hoping/crossing your fingers that enough people will be on to run it!

Re: Bungie - Destiny
yeah, I loved the raids too even as messed up as CE could be it was fun doing it as a group but I do think they need to keep the game fresh and I think introducing new gameplay modes will go a long way toward doing that ... we weren't promised and I did not expect a raid with each DLC ... I'm sure whenever the next raid is introduced it will be much more thought out than CE was and will build on what was great about VoG
If anything what I will miss is that 6 man team gameplay that worked so well
sure having teams of 3 will be easier to get groups together but it always felt like more of an event when we had 6 working together
I'll still continue to do NF/weeklies until the release of HoW and would even still regularly like to run parts/all of VoG/CE to have better odds at the few pieces I am without (G word, crux, foil, lock helm with infusion) but it looks like I might be limited to doing some of those activites via LFG since the Daggers are in hybernation .... I tried some LFG a weekend or so ago and it just wasn't as fun
