I mean it's really more like copying what valve does in their games.

Except steam has its own marketplace where you can buy, sell and trade individual items you like/dislike so in the end it works out and you can avoid the RNG if you choose.

So the system works there but it hurts those that want to buy a specific item on console games like destiny and H5. I'm not really liking the change at all that's for sure. I was saving my free silver in hopes something I really wanna unlock comes along someday but now with RNG coming in I doubt that happens since I'll have to gamble for it.

I don't care about emotes, but to the extent that the teased update makes any sense, it would only make sense to me if the randomized grab bags were sold for in-game currency. The model would then shift to: If you want a specific item, spend cash monies while it's new. When the new season rolls around, they'll get replaced with the new stuff for silver, and retired to the grab bags where you spend glimmer and roll RNG for them.

Selling randomized cosmetics for real world money would be awful.

Agree and I'd be fine with this too. Randomized cosmetics that can only be purchased with real money and cannot be traded just suck tbh

I mean in the end it's just cosmetics that don't effect the game. So it is what it is. But if the system is RNG for real money only that's really just the worst system you could have.

The requirements are being a huge dead orbit fanboy, being bad at the game, and having a desire to be seen as hip and cool with the kids.

Yup. I wholeheartedly agree there with you. Like I mentioned....it makes sense business wise why it would be beneficial to them to do it, but it doesn't sit right with me.

It's always refreshing to hear an interview or podcast with Luke. The dude just says it how it is and it's obvious he plays the game like crazy. I do wish Deej played Destiny more to truly understand all of the intricacies.

I think Bungie is going to nerf the bubble somehow. Your not going to beat challenge mode Oryx with two titans in the middle dipping in and out of the blessing bubble and spamming the last ToM double damage bullet. They're going to explain it at length with in game statistics too. That's why they are waiting until tomorrow to tell us to limit the backlash press for one day. Drop the stink bomb on Friday, and then try to bring you back in on Saturday with whatever they show off on stage at PSX.

A lot of games sell randomized packs for real world money. Lots of F2P games, FIFA, and Halo 5 for example. It is awful. Bungie already sold randomized legendary masks for real world currency during the festival of the lost. You only had a chance to get the skull mask too.

I find it hard to believe they would let cosmetics that went on sale a short while ago "go free" now. Backlash from people who paid money for them would be huge. And more importantly no one would buy the new ones, expecting them to instead "go free" too after a few more months.

not gonna lie, if bungie does nerf defender because of their utility in the raid like you say, i think i might quit destiny again because that would be some reactionary bullshit

If we're being real titan bubble should be nerfed in some way. I've lost count on how many PvE groups I've been in where people specifically change to Titan because we have trouble with activities without it... (of course this is a problem with a lot of the other classes for PvE too)

I hope that the class as a whole gets buffed though. Strikers and Defenders both need better overall kits and it'll be disappointing if they don't get a significant bump. Defenders are a one trick pony as is... I spent a couple nights this past week on my alt titan and it's fun as fuck. Tune Sunbreaker down a little for PvP and bring up Striker and Defender and I see no reason why I wouldn't continue playing that class a lot more.
