Support NeoGAF

[ich00]

Sigh, guess I'm just destined to never ever get this RL

Don't worry. It'll come when you've given up on getting it. 700 hours is about how long it took me.

Honestly that's the problem with lfg, people who don't understand how to play the encounters. I've seen lfg post for vog requiring gjallarhorn and lvl 34's, nether of those two things are helpful (maybe the 'Horn for Templar, even the not really).

I stick to here and reddit's lfg site, lfg is for if all else fails.

Edit: top of the page!

This never gets old:

 

[JohnOfMars]

Anybody up for a Mecury run ?

I'd love to at least get The Messenger. Here's my DestinyTracker page so you can see if you want me to join.

*sigh*

It's not demanding special treatment. It's demanding equal treatment.

They could make Destiny 1 free for all I care. No one is complaining about the game getting cheaper over time, that's a given. It's about how they're locking a negligibly small amount of content away for newer players behind a paywall that is asking older players to re-buy what they already have - effectively doubling the cost of that new content for players who've already spent $90-100 on the game. I'm kinda done complaining about this here, because the issue people are having seems to be going over some people's heads. Sorry. It's fine if you're OK with how they're structuring this. That's your opinion and I respect that. But my opinion is that it's disrespectful to those who've already bought in at the standard price (which is always going to be the case to get in "early").

Well, everyone has an equal chance to buy the Collector's Edition for the same price which includes some digital incentives that apparently people feel strongly about obtaining.

Although I disagree, I think there's a stronger case to be made in the $40 price of Expansion III vs the $60 Legendary Edition for new players. That's quite a deal but not really unprecedented. To be blunt, I just can't get behind people who feel miffed about not getting some cosmetic junk. It's a well-established marketing trick at this point that many of us have been falling for and supporting for quite some time.

EDIT: Also the currency exchange rate thing is ridiculous and should be one of the bigger objections, though I don't believe that's limited to this game.

 

[Daemul]

How about: People who own the base game and both expansions get the LE digital content as their thank you.

Bam, done, overblown controversy over. There's no need to slice and dice this.

Hell no, I don't want that useless crap, emotes and class items mean absolutely nothing to me. What I want is for Bungie/Activision to stop using their bullshit exchange rate and to set the price for TTK expansion to what it should be for Brits. £40 does not equal $40 ffs. This price has already put most of my mates off and at this rate I'll be the only left playing the game come September, since everyone I know will have bought MGS V for even cheaper than what the expansion is going for.

 

[Namikaze1]

Oh my god! I just realized I have just 8 days left before I can finally get rid of this avatar and go back to Sanji!

The nightmare is coming to an end!

Exactly. It's inevitable that this game and some of its players want micro transactions to be introduced. Pay for what you want.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Can you get grenades and horseshoes on Radegast's Fury from the most recent Iron Banner. I've reforged this bastard about 20 times and haven't seen it. I know you can get it on the queen's launcher. I wasn't sure if the recent iron banner weapons had some perks left out or something

 

[noomi]

anyone want to be very awesome and help me through a couple of venus story missions?

 

[FaintColt388301]

I've never done a raid. I'm a level 30. Anybody want to do, what is it, Vault of Glass?

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Guess what?

To celebrate this momentous occasion, Kadey will now start using a mic while playing Destiny.

 

[Frenden]

Two PoE 35 noobs looking for a third. Both have maxed Gjallarhorn and I have maxed primary and secondarys.

Someone with Skolas experience would be great!

PSN FRENDEN or MrWevah.

Yeah I got one and rolled it for tripod, javelin, and grenades and horseshoes. So you can get all the good stuff.

 

[LiK]

Fuck yea, I got Benevolence

 

[Lnkn52]

Hype, but I did like the mystery behind Kadey not speaking.

 

[todd360]

I mean...Destiny fans really are like gerbils running on a wheel. I say that with myself included.

I know I'm being manipulated and I don't really care. The entire game is set up to become a habit. Dailies, weeklies, RNG drops, weekly caps for marks, RNG item seller every week, ect. It's all built specifically to keep us running on the same wheel, day in and day out.

If you're ok with that (and I am) then it can be a fun experience. But I personally wouldn't call most of those people wrong.

Yeah... Most of them aren't wrong. Everyone needs to mail me their credit cards for safe keeping.

 

[PedroLumpy]

Thanks VERY much to Lik and Irawrsaurus, been hoping to get that run in before reset!

 

[LiK]

Lol, my Benevolence drop has Shoot to Loot perk.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

Alright cool. I guess RNG is just treating me like a bitch. I'd expect nothing less.

 

[brianjones]

Lol, my Benevolence drop has Shoot to Loot perk.

such an absurd perk

thrown in to make re rolling more annoying surely

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

Alright cool. I guess RNG is just treating me like a bitch. I'd expect nothing less.

Rerolling is either 10 rolls to get something you want or 70.

 

[JohnOfMars]

Rerolling is either 10 rolls to get something you want or 70.

My first re-roll of Benevolence I got Shortgaze, Hidden Hand, Snapshot and Unflinching.

It took me 84 rolls to get Shot Package & aggressive ballistics, though.

 

[EL CUCO]

Rerolling is either 10 rolls to get something you want or 70.

20 or 200 in my experience lol

 

[M3Rocket]

I don't disagree with you on principle, but the flip side is that I can take my money and give it to people who are willing to accommodate my needs. It's one of the great things about capitalism.

Exactly! You get to decide what to do with your money. Bungie gets to decide what they think the market will bear. And going by the sold-out status of that edition, their marketing department succeeded. Clearly enough people thought the value proposition was a good one for them.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

20 or 200 in my experience lol

Yeah that sounds more accurate. My numbers are skewed by my inability to roll since I have no parts.

 

[Meffer]

I've never done a raid. I'm a level 30. Anybody want to do, what is it, Vault of Glass?

I'm game if anybody else is.

 

[Daemul]

Just read the bungie defends destiny thread. Oh god the cringe. Bungie certainly isn't helping our popularity. Gaming side hates us even more now for liking destiny. They see us all as morons who will pay $80 dollars for mostly the same stuff we already own with a smile on our collective faces. Then there's people who think we're dense for spending $40 on a small expansion. We can't really make a good call on that one yet, but chances are its not going to have enough content to justify the price tag.

Just wait for Thursday everyone! Our Lord and Savior Deej won't let us down!

Tbh mate, gaming side aren't entirely wrong about all that.

EDIT: Beaten already ffs. This is what happens when you don't read everything before posting.

 

[The Mango Sentinel]

20 or 200 in my experience lol

That sounds about right.

Yeah that sounds more accurate. My numbers are skewed by my inability to roll since I have no parts.

So far I have spent this entire day buying and destroying The Messenger. I'm trying to get to at least 1000 parts before reset.

 

[FaintColt388301]

I'm game if anybody else is.

Yeah! Cmon people. Help a fellow out. I really wanna try a raid.

 

[Slammin_Hammon]

I should do that. I can't remember if I have the gorgons checkpoint though to do gatekeepers.

 

[Frenden]

Yeah! Cmon people. Help a fellow out. I really wanna try a raid.

Same boat here, but with PoE 35!

Me and a pal are super pumped.

1. FRENDEN
2. MrWevah
3. ???

 

[iRAWRasaurus]

Yeah! Cmon people. Help a fellow out. I really wanna try a raid.

Tomorrow might be better since its reset day. Sorry burnt out on the game for today, did my good DGAF deeds and helped out a few people already. Don't mind running it with you later on this week.

 

[todd360]

I don't see a huge problem with the $40. I'm sure it's probably $10 dollars to expensive with we always get a great deal of fun and play time out of the raids. A raid as good as VoG would make the price worth it to me. The people paying $80 for new dance moves and class items are a part of the problem though for sure.

Buying the same stuff you already own is foolish. It's up to everyone to decide for themselves though. It's your money. Bungie and Activision are the ones at fault. I hate Activision so much. Just give call of duty a break for a few years. God damn.

 

[LiK]

Geez, what bad fucking timing. Every time I ask to join someone in Clash they're leaving.

 

[silver.tongue]

Yeah! Cmon people. Help a fellow out. I really wanna try a raid.

Ask again tomorrow after the reset. I'll be running all the raids. All of them I tell you!

 

[Namikaze1]

Tomorrow's gameplan:

3 Nightfall runs
Check what weapon Variks is selling (I want the sniper)

And then off to Batman.

 

[Deku Tree]

Geez, what bad fucking timing. Every time I ask to join someone in Clash they're leaving.

Sorry I was just doing the daily. Gonna play a bit more in a few hours after I finish some other stuff up.

 

[silver.tongue]

Geez, what bad fucking timing. Every time I ask to join someone in Clash they're leaving.

Lik, I can go for some clash...

 

[FaintColt388301]

Sounds good. I'll just wait till then and crack away at some story stuff I haven't done. Thanks

 

[LiK]

Ok, I'm just doing 5 for the bounty. Join on me

 

[silver.tongue]

YES! Batman!

 

[Meffer]

Tomorrow sounds good since I have a day off tomorrow as well.

True, but we also have gamers that pay for remasters/HD collections.

 

[MrGreencastle]

A bunch of people think that because they are "loyal" customers or Day 1 "supporters" or whatever, thinks they deserve "special treatment (or pricing)" for a bunch of stuff that Bungie decided is/was worth $40/$20/whatever. That's entitled. That's the "value proposition" Luke refers too.

This is the best that my mspaint skill would allow.

This sounds like how my night is going tomorrow. Batman hype!

Titan Leveling Log Entry #45-Alpha

"Today I leveled my titan to 13, punched some more stuff, and had fun with bubbles... I think I'm really going to enjoy this..."

Geez, what bad fucking timing. Every time I ask to join someone in Clash they're leaving.

Sorry dude, been playing for about 3 hours and it's time to take a little break.

Tomorrow's gameplan:

3 Nightfall runs
Check what weapon Variks is selling (I want the sniper)

And then off to Batman.

Same plan here, expect 2 nightfalls since my titan jr is still under-leveled. I would like that sniper as well, it's the only PoE weapon I'm missing at this point.

Also... batman hype! Have it pre-loaded on steam and I'm ready to go!

 

[ethomaz]

Anyone still need one more for 34 PoE?

[xVaalbarAx]

Yep, I'm retiring from Trials.

 

[Jaeyden]

Fuck you Bungie! Twice tonight 7-0 in trials and your stupid fucking server errors boot me out and give me a loss...even when my boon is active. Never lost connection to my internet.Played the same team three times in a row tonight also you fucks. Thought you weren't supposed to play the same teams consecutively. Also thought you had some amazing reconnect to team shit going on when your god damn servers eat the shit too. Where the fuck was that? I'm so fucking pissed right now.
