Edit: how do you feel about everything now that they have finally released their weekly update?
Personally I like what they did for the digital items people were complaining about but still find the lack of a way to buy TTK CE with physical items and not rebuy the game kind of disheartening. (Or at least a mention about fixing this for future releases since I understand at this point the physical items are pretty much sold out)
-As for the price being $20 I think this is the highest price they saw on posts like this and just went with it. (All the people saying $60 would be fine for the DLC and the in-game items as a package price)

[b]And you all still just let them do this shit by buying stuff without fighting for us to not get ripped off.[/b]
Edit: as point out below Bungie has finally acknowledge this mistake!! Skip to 7:30 in the video.

So looking at all the options for taken king I'm curious where the hell our version is.
God knows I'm not paying $79.99 just because you made the only version that has the 3 class items, 3 shaders, sparrow, bonus Xp, early access weps, emotos, collectables include the game and all previous dlc.
So where is our option? As someone who paid for your season pass, and played since alpha who obviously already has your game and dlc.
Aka a option that just has the dlc, the xp boost, the 3x of everything, early access weps, new emotos, and the sparrow.
&
An Option for the above plus the collectors items for digital downloaders. (EDIT#5 more clarification on options wanted)
Edit: AND your "thank you for being loyal" 1 year stuff can be gained easily by anyone who buys the $80 version? Are you joking...?
Stop being little -blam!- boys to Activision bungie and support your community like you used to with halo.
Looks like our only options are buy it without any rewards and just get the dlc, or drop way too much money to get money gouged buy what we already have. Completely pathetic money grabbing move by you.
EDIT: I understand (unlike a lot of people) that the game goes down in price. I'm not arguing about your price I'm pointing out that you don't have a bloody option for those of us who want all the perks and already gave you about $90 in the first place and don't want to rebuy the game.
Edit: shout out to all the people who comment about the catchy title and what they think a season pass is but don't actually read the post to see that's not what this is about. #stopthedumbz

Or you can buy it and sell the shit you don't want. If I get £10 for the game and each dlc I don't need im happy.

Just don't buy the frickin DLC dude geez there's so many other games

If you don't like the way Bungie conducts their business the best thing you can do is not buy the Taken King. You have to put your money where your mouth is :/ I hate the way Bungie manages this game, but I love the game more. It's a bummer of a situation.

This is like the whole Playstation Exclusive launch items controversy from the beginning. Also, Playstation exclusive items will be present with this DLC.

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't mind rebuying DLC because I don't have it on next gen x)

I can say for certain I'm getting metal gear solid five and fallout 4 way before TTK

My body is ready to pay $40 just to wear oryxs ass like a hat

Good bye Destiny...it was fun

bungie do as there told by activison and by 343

This shit is simple man. DONT BUY IT. Only thing these fools notice is money being lost.

Being a uk customer he also dodged the issue with uk vs us pricing. We are paying £40 to $40 with no apparent reasoning. I know he doesn't decide the pricing but we needed a better response to this issue than 'we are worlds away'

Please continue to browse the forums while you make 2 guys write code on a laptop so you can gather intelligence on how much of an ass you just made of yourself.

this is bullshit and they know it. they're exploiting their loyal fan base by making them pay extra money while new people who couldnt give a shit if destiny was ever released get what we paid for half the price. smfh

It was a question, not a statement, your first sentence is deliberately misleading

Edited by Mr_Haad: 6/23/2015 3:08:08 AMQuestion for the MMO players. Is this the business model of typical MMO games such as WoW? I never played a MMO and I know Destiny isn't a true MMO but only has elements of a MMO. EDIT: FPS games just pump out a new game and story and keep it moving. IMO

Edited by lLuuucius: 6/23/2015 12:26:17 AMHaving paid $20 for each expansion so far, i can honestly say NEITHER of the 2 expansions is worth more than $10 a piece. I've just finished HoW, have to do the 2 raids, and im can "finish" the game. The launch game itself was about 20-30% of a regular-length mediocre title, so, in retrospect i should've seen it coming. $40 for an asset recycling expansion vs $60 for a new game? TTK or Batman/Witcher 3 with a $20 difference is not even a "choice". Couldnt give a rats ass about a shader or a monochrome sparrow. The $40 pricing is ridiculous for the content provided, given how much of a ripoff the $20 "expansions" were (which were basically the original game content that wasnt launched on time). Not sure if Bungie or Activision has screwed the pooch, probably both. In the end it doesnt matter.

Watch the price change to $20 and for the newcomers, it's going to be $50-$60.

Bottom line, the shit items like shader, emote, emblem... Bungie has no reason not to hand those out to EVERYONE who buys the $40 DLC. There are no production costs to this crap. It's all artificial value. Frankly, they should hand that out to the fans on their 1 year character creation... and screw the new people. 1 year of our time to support your game. At least some kickback would be thankful.
