I don't pay $15 a month for this like I would something like WoW... So no I'm gonna have to disagree. I don't expect as much content as a game like that for this reason.

Well, technically, you've paid four months worth of traditional subscription-based "MMO" content. If you get the DLC, even more so.

Ugh, is this the most unfun patch ever? Queen's gear no longer dropping ascendant shards is crap. Now the whole event seems very pointless.

But now you can grind it for the chance of getting armor with two properties you want! *Fun*!

I'm not talking about the weekly cap, i'm talking about the maximum cap. I didn't really think about the point caps until now, and if I can't earn more than 200 crucible and cant spend them because I decided to faction cape a bit through the game I am really, really frustrated.

Anyone know for certain? Regardless, these low-ball maximum caps suck so much. If I can't spend the vanguard points but want to do strikes then I am basically wasting my time.

Oh, I wouldn't be surprised if there is a max cap, since glimmer caps at 25k or something incredibly low like that.

For those not bothered by the constant hampering of progression, how would you feel if a single player game was arbitrarily locked so you couldn't proceed further before certain unlocking dates because they wanted to avoid you beating it, selling it and not buying the forthcoming DLC? Because that's exactly what Bungie is doing.
Click to expand...

You need to stop trying to give examples because they're pretty bad. Plenty of people are still progressing with absolutely zero RNG reliance. Hawkian went ahead and wrote out two big posts outlining exactly how to do this and be fully geared in 2 weeks with zero RNG (and it's linked in the OP of this very thread). And even IF Bungie was actually hampering progression, that sure as hell doesn't push players to buy the dlc.
 
the more people i see with invectives the more i welcome the shotgun nerf haha

That's how analogies work.....

It really doesn't matter if one is more significant to life or not. Im not saying killing off farming is bad because starvation is bad. I'm saying both use the same terrible logic to fixing a similar type of problem (Doing one bad thing to avoid an even worse thing)

it was a bad analogy
sry lol

Woke up to the patch, very disappointed.

The Cave I can understand, but nerfing the shards off Queens rewards? WTF?

Bungie has no idea what they are doing at this point.
Click to expand...

Sure they do. If they try to sell the paid DLC they've had ready since before launch within less than a month of the games release they're be riots.

Gotta slloooow that player progress down.

Borderlands: 7 fun new guns in a day.
Destiny: Less than one new gun in 7 days.

Yes I'm bitter.

You're even defending it.

Price doesn't matter when it comes to "is this fun?" We aren't asking if Destiny is worth $60. We're asking does Destiny handle its loot and progression correctly. It has an MMO style loot system, but there is not anything close to an MMO amount of content? Is there even a satisfying amount of content for the time required to progress? If there isn't enough content to make an MMO style of progress work, why use it? My conclusion is to slow progression so people are still playing when the DLC releases.
 
Just helped a team complete nightfall, this is great.

Hemo-Memo are you there? Just got a friend request I'm assuming for nightfall?

Edit: he isn't online so does anyone else need nightfall right now.

You have to buy WoW and the expansions do you not? Plus the $15 a month?
Click to expand...

They're basically giving all the expansions except MoP now for free. MoP is like 20 bucks I think. You get a month free and then 15 a month (if you go month to month, less if you go for 3 months, 6 month or 1 year at once).

Really, dude? Ashamed of what? Ashamed that sometimes the writing process gets affected by outside forces?

You're being ridiculous, and you're being really unfair to the writers of Destiny, one of which I know.

I see. So would a helmet or chest piece do?
Click to expand...

Nope, the vanity gear (Hunter cloaks, Warlock armbands, and Titan belts) are called class items in game. Any reference to a class item is talking about those vanity pieces that go in your last armor slot.

With solar and void weapons and cheesing the boss fight, probably. But you need to have void weapons to burn minotaur shields and solar to take advantage of crazy high solar damage this week.
Click to expand...
You can cheese the minotaur as well if your group isn't able to burn him fast enough. Have two people stay on the ledge burning the boss while the third just kites the minotaur around. No other minotaur will spawn and as long as the one kiting the minotaur doesn't stray too far from the cave the minotaur will just ignore the 2 shooting the boss.
 
Are the crucible/vanguard Mark caps per faction? Or if I'm at 200 crucible marks for future war cult can I go align with a different faction and get some for them? Cause the weapon I want is different faction from armor.

There are plenty of F2P MMOs with more content than destiny.

Again.. same types of content redressed dozens of ways. This is why most MMO games make it or break it based on combat systems.

Guild of Wars 2 was $60 upfront and no subscription. There aren't many MMOs that use a traditional model nowadays.
Click to expand...

I'm well aware of GW2's price and model. I'm a member of GW2 Gaf in fact. GW2's model is more rare than traditional, even today. Most F2P models have heavy participation restrictions.

Ashamed that the writing they put out was unacceptable even by videogame standards. I can understand the lore not being in the game due to it being last minute but the core narrative is absolutely atrocious.

I also don't care if you know one.
 
Jarmel said:

Mass Effect 3's ending was worst because I actually cared about the characters being affected. Destiny didn't have the background set-up to make me care about anything. At all.


Not even Dinklebot.

No.

ESPECIALLY not Dinklebot.

There was literally an awkward silence when my friends and I finished the atrocity that was the "little light" exchange on Venus. I recoiled at how any functioning adult thinks that was acceptable. The overall story might be butchered by outside influence, but the line-to-line dialogue is inexcusable. I didn't think it was going to get any worse than W_D this year, and boy was I wrong.

Could you ask him why the story turned out terrible and pretentious?

Just because someone works hard they shouldn't be criticized for their work?

Man I am really hating this game right now. Because these caps are at 200 (2 weeks of playing without spending?) I'll soon be at this point where both are maxed out but because I chose a faction cape partway through the game I can't spend any of the points. Fuuuuck yooooou bungie.

Hah, I will say, ME3's ending is better because it made me feel ANY emotion whatsoever. Something that just didn't happen at any point during the UNSKIPPABLE cutscenes in Destiny.
 
Could someone on PS4 do me a huge favor and help me kill the mobs in the Restoration mission for the Queen's Wrath? I need help finishing it and then you can leave right after.

Queen's Wrath Event
Material rewards for dismantling Queen's Wrath gear will no longer provide ascendant materials, but missions will continue to drop Legendary items

Huh

That kind of makes them (extra?) pointless now.
