WE DID IT GUYS!! $20!!
-
You act like being able to pay $20 for $2 worth of content is some kind of victory. Maybe that should be their strategy from now on. Say they are charging $100 the the next dlc, have everybody go apeshit then drop the price down to $60 and everyone will say "well that's more like it, we did it guys woot woot." Being overcharged a little less is still being overcharged.

Edited by SERAPH-X7: 6/25/2015 6:03:51 PMJune 22, 2015 - Somewhere inside Bungie Headquarters, Bellevue, WA USA. We open up to chaos and war drums in what looks like a busy Monday at a stock market exchange...except we are in the offices of Bungie, the creators of the fabled Destiny game. Moments earlier a gaming website let loose a scathing interview between one of Bungies lead developers and an avid fan/journalist which has spread like wildfire in the Bungie fan forums. Having just had his lunch PR spokesperson/ Community Manager David Dague aka "Deej" walks into something out of a disaster film. Deej stares in bewilderment as the huge monitors overhead displaying the forums are set ablaze with angry people. Phones ring everywhere, meetings take place between angry office workers, people are yelling, suddenly a scream off in the distance [i]"oh the horror!"[/i]...but Deej isn't worried, he combs his fingers through his hair and thoughts begin to swirl inside his head... He makes his way to his office avoiding the chaos, finally arriving at his posh office. Memorabilia and mementos of days long past are neatly arranged throughout. He looks around, eyes landing directly on a thick black binder, just the thing he was looking for. He gets up, grabs it and stares at its title..."PR for Dummies" a quick grin passes across his stern face, he's read about this, this is his moment, it's happening. He sits in front of his work station and clicks through a few things on screen. He turns to his bible, fingers a blur looking for something and they find their mark as if by magic..."How to Quell a Blood Thirsty Mob". His eyes dart back and forth, the commotion is getting louder outside his office, he must work fast if he wants to put a cork on the situation. His eyes widen, he's found what he's looking for, immediately he becomes a maestro conducting a symphony, his fingers creating art. After a few minutes a sly crooked smile crosses his face, it's ready, he's done it! After a while he clicks a couple more things on screen, pauses and quickly scans his masterpiece for any errors. None, it's perfect and he sends his work of art free into the wilds...the dreaded Bungie forums. Now it's just a matter of waiting, content with himself, Deej powers off his computer and clasps his hands behind his head. He smiles, a wide grin, suddenly a knock on his door disturbs this happy moment. Luke Smith lead raid designer is standing there, looking pale, sickly. I don't know what to do man, I panicked, have you read it yet? Oh man, they're gonna skin me alive for this! he says. After a long hard pause Deej gets up, walks up to LS and grasps his shoulder as a father does a son in peril. Don't worry, I think I averted the problem, I think I might have outdone myself this time if I might say so. A confused look rolls over LS's face, but how he asks, it was a mad house in there last I checked. They want my head, I wouldn't be surprised if they have a noose ready for me, what did you do? Suddenly cheers erupt nearby, sounds of people hollering fill the hallways, two co-workers happily embrace and kiss...quietly LS asks one last time, Dauge what did you do? Deej pauses for a moment, looks around and let's in all the audible noises fill his mind, he'll relish this moment for a long time that's for sure. He looks back at LS and says to him, I told the Day Oner's that we would give them something better, something meaningful. His eyes waver for a split second, too quick for a lesser man to see...I made them a promise and bought us time until Thursday's weekly update. LS stumbles to his knees, thank god he says shakily, he forms the sign of the cross quickly before getting back on his feet. The ball is in your court now says Deej, what you do with it is up to you and the guys in marketing. LS quickly gives Deej a sappy hug while Deej just rolls his eyes and tells him to get going, that they don't have a lot of time. LS quickly scampers off to who knows what dark corners of Bungies impregnable fortress. Amidst all the laughter and celebration Deej stands alone, victorious...triumphant. Nobody does it better than he, for he is David Dague aka Deej and he has the worst job in America if not the world itself. He's been trained in the trenches, he's been to hell and back, this is his dominion! Happy with himself he skips down the hallway, rounds a corner and high fives a passing Bungienite. Under his breath he mutters, oh how I love Mondays... Hope you guys enjoyed this, I honestly don't know why I wrote it...I should go to sleep :/

Did what? Get -blam!-ed up the arse?
-
If us vets got an exclusive middle finger emote I'd stop being angry.
-
Whoopty doo it's business there all greedy -blam!-s
-
WHOOO!!! WE DID IT.
-
not getting my hopes up. at all. wouldnt be surprised if it was a legendary engram and an emblem.
-
I started destiny a week after it came out does that count oh and I played the beta
-
I'm on xbox360 and still don't know what we are getting. Do I need to purchase everything again if I do will I still get 1 year rewards plus what's in the limited edition bundle? As I can pass the disc onto friend at work. Or will TTK be available on it's own from the x360 marketplace? And will I get the 1 year rewards At the moment seems a little confusing

Edited by HarmlessOldMan: 6/23/2015 5:15:54 PMRemember the Christmas present? Yeah...
-
Is there a way to buy the vet 1 or do I got to buy the 80$ 1?
-
Luke is kindhearted and feels as if the community is close to him even though halve of it are hostile animals ready to throw rocks at bungie headquarters
-
[quote] So I've been hearing people say we're getting; A ship The superblack shader (HYPE) A sparrow An emblem A ghost[/quote] So we're getting [i]nothing[/i]. Damn, you guys get excited over the most useless shit.
-
If the veteran reward is genuine, it will convince me to pre-order TTK.
-
How about a class item that increases your changes of good drops/rewards by 25%?
-
No he didn't. Because there was nothing to save Destiny from, especially Luke.
-
799 replies. Oh wait.
-
He didn't save it from Luke, he saved it from the portion of the community that decided to throw a fit because they think they're being screwed over by not being able to access a few emotes and class items without paying $80 even though those in-game items are only there as a bonus and aren't the reason the collector's edition is $80.

[quote][quote]* You probably have seen this post everywhere as tons of my friends and I have copied and pasted it everywhere. I went into DattoDoesDestiny's stream today and he liked the idea* As I am sure many of you are upset about the current collector's edition deal, just as I am, this post will be a detailed version of a new fan-recommended edition. The Veteran's Edition. *THIS IS A FAN-MADE EDITION AND A RECOMMENDATION TO BUNGIE. I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH BUNGIe.* This will include: -The Taken King Expansion (Expansion III) -All of Cayde-6's Intel Cache -Three Class Specific Emotes -Three Armor Shaders -Three Exotic Class Items with XP Bonuses -Early Access Weapons Pack - Veteran Founder's Fortune Year 1 Emblem, - Veteran Sparrow - Veteran Armor Shader -COMMENT WHAT ELSE SHOULD BE INCLUDED To have this version, you must have at least one lvl 30 character. Since the regular Collector's Edition is $80 and this version doesn't have the Vanilla Game or either Expansions, I fee this version should be $60. This is not my post but I am trying to spread it because I feel this is a great alternative for the commuted destiny players who want the exclusives without having to pay for stuff they already own. This will end the complaining and unfairness between the old players and new players of destiny. You guys said in a very recent video that you are reading the forums etc... and you guys want what the players want and believe me this is what we want!! I know Bungie is very kind and caring for its community and I do not want to believe that you would make unfair decisions and make us day one players feel thrown under the bus. Thank you for reading this and please take it into consideration. Spread this post if you agree! SIGN THE PETITION: https://www.change.org/p/bungie-activision-give-year-1-players-the-same-perks 20k: 6/21/15 Edit: Great support guys keep it going! Remember to sign the petition and keep spreading the word EVERYWHERE! Edit 2: I hear posts are being deleted feel free to copy and paste this and keep it somewhere to repost on a thread if you want. DeeJ has announced that there will be a way for Veterans to get stuff. It will be announced in the weekly update tomorrow. Lets keep working together and maybe this will happen! #VeteransUnite![/quote][/quote]
-
So basically cry like little pussies until you get your way
-
I understand what day one means. I started playing destiny almost a month after it was released, would that still qualify as a veteran Destiny player?
-
Luke was an arrogant asshole. At least DeeJ tries to keep everyone happy, even if he is a bit of a pegboi.
