If people wanna go buy all these emotes and fund my Destiny content for the next year then they can go right ahead, I ain't gonna stop them. I just hope that this shit doesn't spiral out of control and we end up with people paying real cash for weapons and armour later down the line.

God damn theres me playing with other DGAF in raid and for probably 2 hours I'm talking away up until Golgoroth. I then asked a question and got no response. Turns out I'd had my mic on mute the whole time apart from the start where we dunk so theres me talking about enemy locations and taking turns in the situations leading up to War Priest and no one was hearing me.
So far though easier than my first Vault of Glass run. Zhalo Supercell shits on everything.

So reading that it seems Vex and Cabal DLC are scrapped, but free content in missions and quests throughout the year?

i still want the female human dance and female awoken

Ships (unless ships become somehow involved in gameplay), emotes, shaders at worst. Any sparrows ought to only be cosmetic swaps of ones that can be earned in-game.

Can someone please help me with the undying mind strike? Doing it for quest and no match making.

they should at least take off the $10 premium. All of the expansions were $10 too expensive.

Yeah I saw that. I will remain skeptical as to if we will see meaningful free content as a result of this until we actually get it.
All signs point to them actually going down the MMO model of big free content bumps (new raid, new dungeons, new gear ceiling, etc.) and paid HUGE expansions (Heavensward, All the WoW expansions). With cosmetic $$$ DLC to support it instead of traditional monthly sub.
I am okay with this and am glad to see they are actually taking this route rather than the "small" expansions.

I think cosmetic MT's are great and hope this really helps the live team bring great content throughout the year. Snow during the holidays, quests, and stuff like that. What I'm sad about it that it sounds like we won't get a proper DLC mid year. A $15 raid and some higher light gear would help keep things from getting stagnant.
I do hope that I'm wrong.

Noooo give me Cabal DLC.
I wouldn't count on that. Expect paid DLC to remain an expected cycle through Year 2.
I don't see that happening either.

They're not going to do this because they know there will be another shitstorm.
...Unless it's a Year 2 Gjallarhorn. I have no doubt people will pay $100+ for that.

Dunking puzzle just an easter egg?
I'm okay with that.
Wonder if there are more.

They are never selling stuff that impacts gameplay. Cosmetics only.

WTF is this? look at score and game mode. Game won't end either.
I don't think I really want emotes to be dropping as nightfall or raid rewards, really.
For the moment they do this the right way, and I see no reason why this would change in the foreseeable future.
I'll start worrying when there is actually something to worry about. ^^
Now that you mention it I could see myself paying a couple of dollars to Make Contact with the Darkness.
"Our plan is to use these new items to bolster the service provided by our live team for another full year, as they grow and create more robust and engaging events that well announce later this year."
So the more emotes you buy... The faster we can get our Cabal Raid! (clearly) Bust out those wallets, Guardians!
I'll be the guy with the whip making sure people buy those emotes, if I see anyone spending less than £10 they get a smack on the head. I'll be doing all this without spending a single dime myself but hey, free shit lol

Any other Xbox One GAFers interested in a quick Oryx kill tonight, 9pm EST?
P.S. Yay new dances. If they are like a dollar or two I might buy some, $20 for 3 dances in the collector's edition bundle was way too steep for me.
I can join as a 280 but I have a 1000 yard stare of goodness!! I can be the roamer
If y'all desperately need a 6th.

I'm still fucking pissed off the exotic class items from the CE are 170 light and can't infuse them, though.
That's just straight-up contemptuous. Ugh.

Hahaha I love this idea.
Opinions on emotes aside, are the people who overpaid for TTK going to get Silver as their rebate? Seems like a not-terrible idea

Dances I would buy.
White people dancing
Ricky Gervais dancing in the office
Leo DiCaprio dancing in Wolf of Wall Street
The Virgin dancing meme
And probably a couple I'm forgetting.

I've got an hour to blow if you still need help.
Just in case anyone interprets this as "giving them the benefit of the doubt," they DID kind of go out of their way to say so.
Still, I'm currently sour on this, but open-minded. Destiny is rather an expensive game even if it still does beat a traditional subscription model handily. If the first free new content update comes to pass (not at all remotely including Iron Banner and Trials gear as meeting this criteria) and is good or great, they do have the opportunity to convince me.
I see this as wildly, unrealistically optimistic. I imagine free smaller content updates that actually contain new content, staggered between traditional paid DLCs that they know will sell. I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

Micro transactions for emotes that don't affect gameplay in any way. I'm okay with this.
Also this is nice.

people hear microtransactions and instantly freak out and assume pay 2 win. When in fact there are already plenty of games that do it well. tbf there are also plenty of games that don't, but given Bungie's own statements on this, and the fact that I have to assume they know better than to sell anything that's not cosmetic, it's fair to take them at their word or at least give them the benefit of the doubt.

a Ricky Gervais dance would be such a good troll emote lmao
case in point: the bonus paid preorder guns are mid-tier eh weapons. and that was on purpose. they do not want pay-to-win, at all.

And they take up an actual exotic slot too! Let us buy Y2 versions Bungie please. WITH LEGENDARY MARKS, just too clarify.
Yup, they just have to prove us wrong. We'll see. They tend not to get this right the first time, so bumpy road expected.
The bow is awesome, but the shitty dance for awoken sucks.
I'm looking forward to a new one.

It's October Bungie. You know what dance I want
I'm hoping these free updates to (at least) be like The Dark Below and House of Wolves in terms of content, and we'll still get our yearly, paid "big" expansion like The Taken King.
