So far warlocks have received 3 new exotics. Titans have received 4 and hunters have received 4. Luke Smith promised back in August that each class would receive 6 new exotics at launch in a game informer interview.
Not only that 3 of these exotics actually featured in The Taken King trailer. These exotics were [b]Astrocyte Verse[/b], [b]Ophidian Aspect[/b], and [b]Transversive Steps[/b].
The most interesting exotics have been held back. Bungie has just confirmed after their Instagram reveal that there will be 0 new exotics.
How in any way is this acceptable? You sold us something which you haven't delivered on. You deliberately tricked and mislead us.
So what? You are going to sell us these exotics for a second time in a paid expansion. Smh...
[b]TRANSPARENCY PLEASE![/b]
Edit: So the weekly update is here and as many people predicted there is no sign or even recognition of these exotics. There isn't even a hint to suggest they will be revealed in next update either.
Support this post by CitrusTheNile which is on the same topic.

Final Edit: Ive sent this thread to both Cozmo and Deej and sent them links on recent posts they've replied to. This thread has 500 replies and stayed top of trending for 2 days during a time when Bungie will be looking for reactions to their reveals. Still ignored.
Now I'm not asking for the community manager to snap his fingers and give us all 9 of the missing exotics. We are looking for legitimate reasons as to why what we paid for is still missing 7 months later. Is that too much to ask or do the job requirements for community manager at Bungie mean that you have to be raised by an autistic family of Hellen Kellers living on a Pacific Island. A few words would suffice you know.
It really is stupid of me to be surprised by this tbh. After you've lied so much about SBMM, weapon balancing, reward fixing, etc., etc., etc. The list goes on and will go on for as long as this cancerous game reels in players and spits out cash over the next 10 years and as time goes by no doubt your relationship with the community will become even more poisonous.
What baffles me the most is the fact that your studio has 500 employees yet you struggle to cobble together a half decent AAA game. You have the Activision machine behind you and a hamster wheel crammed with behavioural psychology tricks (which btw doesn't make you the slightest bit decent) and you still can't make a good game. In Guildford in London a studio of 10 people created a game more beautiful and infinitely more replayable than yours with less money and worse tools. Not only do you lack ethics you lack competence.
If I were to buy Destiny 2 it wouldn't be unrealistic to expect the new CoD season pass on the disc and if we pre-order maybe we might be gifted an uncensored picture of Luke Smiths flabby arse. You really have become such scum Bungie.

so the other half or should i say cut content isn't coming in the update -blam!- you bungie -blam!- you if you think this new update is going to keep destiny alive with all these new better games coming out well you really have gone -blam!-ed it up you won't be getting anymore of my money i think naughty dog deserves my money more than you good bye and good riddance

Because get your silver ready, Guardians! Coming soon you will be able to get your gauntlets on these new exotics through Sterling Dung Heaps! You can earn one dung heap per month for free by battling back the Dark that will give you a Hell freezes ovee chance of unencrypting a brand new exotic! But for those Guardians so full of light, you can use your silver to up the chance to when pigs fly! No, this isn't gambling masked behind a video game veneer at all!

Edited by Lord Silimar: 4/1/2016 11:35:44 AMNot only these exotics but the ship, shaders, guns, and game content. The reason I bought this game was because I thought I was going to be able to go anywhere I wanted in the world of Destiny...not some out of bounds shit that's in every video game. Bungie has since then disappointed me in every DLC that they've come out with. I've been around since day 1 of the Beta and that was way more fun than what it is now. Everything is too easy and everywhere that I can't go to I wish I could go to. Like the rest of the European Dead Zone, I would love to explore that, and the volcano on Venus, the desert of Mars, the giant mountain on the Moon, the rest of Mercury, and last but not least the rest of Phobos. I know it would require a lot of memory and such, but Elder Scrolls Online has it, Skyrim, Neverwinter, Ark Survival Evolved, The Solus Project, Assassins Creed, Fallout 4, and so on. What I'm trying to say is: Bungie, you have no chance at having one of the greatest games ever created. You could have done so much more but instead gave us so little, yet I became somebody from your game because they don't exist in your actual game world and I would love to see them exist. So I do it for you. I would honestly make this game way better than what you've done with it: Like get rid of Ghosts and give us Frames (Tower robots) that you could earn weapons and armor for and level them up to help you in battle and such. My ideas for this game are endless and a lot of them are really cool too. Bungie you should step up your game I certainly am willing to for you.

[quote]How in any way is this acceptable? You sold us something which you haven't delivered on. You deliberately tricked and mislead us.[/quote] They do this with ease, have you not noticed the advertisement before the game released? Im not surprised by this at all.. Bungie being bungie.
-
I may have missed the advertisements that actually spelled out that those exact exotics were going to be released. Also it appears to be a preproduction concept art photos and video. In preproduction they try things out and they hope that it works. What would you say if it was released that the boots for a warlock would create a game failing error if the warlock had blink as their jump? Would you complain or not worry about a piece of armor in a video game? Trust me I want all of the pieces that are "missing", I am a person who wants a collection to be complete, but if they product does not work then I do not want it in the game! I want the fate of all fools weapon, but I will never have it because it is reserved for that one special guardian whom it was released for! You paid for the right to play a video game not to own every thing in the game right off the bat! You still have to play the game. Again I want to collect all things in this game but if they are not available or in the game then I am content with what the game has to offer!
-
We were also promised double vault space. Note how nothing we get promised really happens.
-
And the 5 y1 exotics left behind for no reason too.
-
Was arguably looking forward to Transversive steps, astrocyte verse and ophidian aspect the most. And that's just as someone who mains a warlock. The other exotics, although not on the same level, are still content that was EXPLICITLY promised with the taken king. We're fast approaching the second Comet expansion and no sight of them. If they aren't released before then, i'm not going to be happy.
-
Bungie said that there are new exotics. No one said when they were going to be released. People just assume things. And assuming makes an [b][u]ASS[/u][/b] out of [b][u]U[/u][/b] and [b][u]ME[/u][/b]

Edited by SwedishBass: 4/1/2016 7:55:29 AMIt's been more than 6 months since TTK released, and they are still in the Armory. I was very disappointed when they weren't included in the stream. I want my Ophidian Aspect. :(
-
like it matters rng seems to be more likely to give you exotics already owned then ones you dont have i dont get an item till xur sells it and all of the sudden my vault is over flowing with it i only need one dropable weapon and one droppable armor piece and despite opening 100s of engrams i have yet to get the remaining 2 i need and as it happens the weapon i need is the last word and the armor item is the saint adding variety will make things fresh but it will not help rng

Edited by bisto760: 3/31/2016 9:41:55 PMDude the game is done. Play the new content. Don't buy the new stuff in September.
-
Were they actually promised? Last I checked, they were put on as armor in a few trailers, but I don't recall them specifically being promised
-
-
I'm sure they are allowed to change their minds. It is their game after all. I don't know why this community feels so entitled.
-
It's very simple. They were datamined and Bungie doesn't want to be embarrassed and act like we found them. Their self-entitled whiny ex Halo devs that think they're owed something. Becuase they were datamined, we will show them! We never planned on releaseing those, blah, blah, blah.
-
yeah i wanted my asrocyte verse and ophidian aspect, voidwalkers would rule the crucible once again. Ill settle for Patience and Time though XD
-
I'm confused. What promises do you feel were unfulfilled with regard to exotics? Where did you hear of this promise? Can you post a link?
-
1 word: [b]ACTIVISON[/b].
-
License agreement that every one agreed to that plays this game. Do you know what it actually means when it comes to Bungie? [spoiler]We can lie to you as much as we want. [/spoiler]
-
You know cozmo and/or Deej has seen this by now, but still no response. I don't blame them though as probably they don't know what to say.
-
Come on Cozmo answer this damn post!
-
Cozmo, we're waiting ;)

[i]I can't believe what I'm seeing![/i]

Super bump worthy...just more Bungie bullshit
