MEGA THREAD - Do you care about Destiny?
[b]Destiny Community,[/b]
[i]Destiny was rated 6.5/10 for a reason. I want Destiny to improve so I can keep playing, not get worse so I leave, I like the game; I don't love it (currently).[/i]
[b]If you support this, don't JUST vote, bump and comment to get this trending and to stay in the spotlight, a silent vote doesn't work as well.[/b]
Before I start please read this poem to better understand our situation

Destiny is starting to turn out like another major gaming franchise, you all know who I mean. There is no real reason to provide a collectors editon (CE) for Destiny 1 TTK Expansion Edition, however that would be appropriate/acceptable for a Destiny 2. By creating a CE they have introduced un-timed exclusives which isn't smart as lots of the players like to collect stuff even without the vault space to fit it.
Nobody really wanted to pay for this stuff considering long term players have paid more than enough to get up to and including TTK, but because some players don't understand value vs percieved value the community has been slapped in the face with "pay $20 and get 9 items" which is a big microtransaction, if this sort of thing is allowed to stand soon season passes wont allow you to get everything during the 'season'.
Pricing is 100% fine for the physical CE and the legendary edition, they are perfectly priced IMO.
$40 for TTK is not ok when the previous DLC 1&2 were poorly recieved, I understand TTK looks (so far) like it will be awesome, but you DO NOT get to charge this high a price point to CONTINUE after the initial release was a small rock dropped in an ocean and the DLC's were a couple of ripples through the sea.
Charging $20/$25 IMO would be the best price point (the best would be free as a thank you for all the f---ups over the year, but I don't see that happening and don't think it as [i]absolutely [/i]necessary) and this would honestly make a lot of Destiny players feel like you care that they stuck around through all the BS.

[u]PS: A couple things 1.) Deej doesn't make the game and has no (real) power, don't give him a hard time. 2.) ACTIVISION is the publisher; this means they are the ones either soley or mostly responsible for pricing in the game. [/u]

1 ReplyThe problem with Destiny is that it was mis-advertised. It's like buying a new car that was all hyped up and getting something we didn't expect(my Chevy Cruze without cruise control). Opinions aside, you have to admit that A LOT of what we were expecting and promised wasn't what we received. Fortunately, Destiny's core (gameplay, mechanics, etc) is pretty solid. Balancing issues aside (that can easily be changed with hotfixes), the gameplay is pretty good. The problem with Destiny is content. Content can easily be added to the game, and it's a solution they need to pursue. I personally think they need to put more emphasis on PVE and co-op content and less in PVP. Unless you are going to fully dedicate to a flawless competitive multiplayer, you shouldn't be wasting resources on it. Just look at how trying to balance for the Crucible has ruined some weapons for the PVE side. How much better would the main game have been if it ditched the Crucible altogether? If all that content was instead PVE content? Coming from my Halo and Gears and Titanfall background, I like competitive multiplayer that is built specifically for that. Who still plays Tomb Raider's multiplayer vs Halo? I'd like to see Destiny expand on it's universe a lot more. What's going on with the Traveler now that we saved it? Are we going on the offensive now(it still feels like we are stuck in the last city)? Continue the story where we start retaking lost areas. Add new co-op experiences that brings Guardians together(Some great battle, defending the Last City, attacking a Cabal fortress). Look at the events ran in Warframe for good examples. Give me a reason to keep playing. Don't try to play with my mind in buying DLC thinking I can't resist getting a specific item. From the studio that created memorable experiences found in the Halo franchise, I expected more.
