Personally, I can’t play for most of May due to travel, so I guess I’ll just miss whatever the last two or three guns are.
Non-personally, it’s just annoying.
Update: Looks like they’ll be compressing the schedule and releasing all weapons by the end of April. Still not the ideal, but I appreciate that they’re compromising.
-
It’s almost as if we are nearing a new release and they wanted us to feel like they are listening and reacting to feedback(again). Dont be surprised if they already knew the negative feedback was coming and had a compromise in place. Or maybe I’m just being cynical 🤷♂️
-
I completely understand people's time constraints, however, time gating is common in video games. Helldivers 2 is a pretty popular new game, and it's devs have been time gating things. if everything is given out to everyone immediately, there is nothing left for the future.
-
Oh shut it you -blam!-. We're getting weapons we originally weren't going to get. Stop complaining
-
HOLY, how is this chain still going on?! They already announced they’ve made a decision to not time-gate it…
-
There's always a catch to good news from bungie. At least they understand that people don't like pointless time gated bs and changed that to be all in the same month of april. But I wonder if that was because they just decided to cut their losses on May knowing the playerbase number will either drop again or rise depending on how long it take people to get the god roll they want and get the armor and all black shader.
-
No, they will release them before that because all the weapons will magically drop into the streamers hands to sell the idea "you need these weapons".
-
isnt it just timegating the weapon ornaments? not the weapons themselves? if all theyre doing is timegating cosmetics and nothing else then i dont see the issue here. you’re just experiencing fomo for something not essential to the in game experience.
-
Imagine caring about reskinned reskins ... you are the problem...
-
How I view Time Gating is different. Time gating gives me time to find the weapons with rolls I like . not that timegating is not the issue my vault will fill up faster I won't have the time to check out different rolls.
-
You can still get the weapons after the final shape comes out. The only thing that is time limited is the brave limited edition ornaments. After the final shape comes out you will not be able to get the brave limited edition ornaments.
-
All you're missing is limited edition ornaments on the weapons. You'll be able to get the guns. This activity will go into the Vanguard node.
-
Bungie really should organize everything around you.
-
Dunno if you've seen it but they've revised the schedule so you might still be able to get all of the weapons. Have a great day
-
Should be mid April
-
Whilst i personally hate these selfish requests, i do have to agree that timed loot can be annoying. I mean most of the time the weapons aren't even that good so it shouldn't mater and not only that but they make all seasonal weapons craftable anyways.
-
That’s one thing about Microsoft I find odd, why automatically give a refund over a delay ? At least give the person the option first, sounds like a huge pain in the butt. Sony says nope we’re keeping your money sucker, you gotta work to get it back lol. But really for me it’s just easier, I get delays happen, I’d rather a game be delayed than be crap so I’m not gonna refund my preorder over it.

Common L for Bungie
-
They have to ! Bungie has nothing else to offer . There’s 67 days left 🙄😂
-
I don't know if you've seen the update yet, but... "First up: we’ve seen the feedback on releasing an additional weapon each week after the first six drop on April 9, and we’re condensing the schedule to release everything by April 30th, rather than May 21st." That might help you out some. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/263797693?sort=0&page=0

Bungie's usual "you had to be there" mindset
-
Shall I tell them?… Here it goes… HAMSTER WHEEL GAME! 🤣 You are now left with a lame and barren game that’s devoid of creativity. It’s a mess! 🤣 Absolutely nothing here but a shamble mess of shallowness!🤣
-
Bungie never learns. Time gating content/rewards has always been extremely unpopular and annoying for players. But somehow, they still think they'll make engagement higher, when the reality is that players will only engage with the game when their favorite weapon becomes available. They never learn.

[quote]Personally, I can’t play for most of May due to travel, so I guess I’ll just miss whatever the last two or three guns are. Non-personally, it’s just annoying. Bungie probably doesn’t care about my opinion anymore because I don’t buy Silver and Microsoft refunded my pre-order after the delay, but hey, I can try.[/quote] So what Bungie is saying is take a break until the last weapon is a available- okay Bungie - no problem.. By the way - this is why no one plays your silly game..

Currently, this post is the top of the 19!!!! top posts, all of which complain about the weapon release strategy. Only one of those isn't about the time gating. I for one voted nay though I'm personally going to be fine with it. I still, though I tried, don't yet have rolls I want on Summoner, Prosecutor, Prophet. STILL don't have buried bloodline despite many clears (will keep going)... There's IB to farm and we'll have exotic missions. I'm excited about the next couple months regardless of the drippy content
-
Totally agreed. I'd be fine if they time-gated the "special shader edition" versions, but everything should be obtainable from the jump.
-
I [i]will[/i] be available to get them as they come out, and I [i]still[/i] think it's a crappy thing for them to do. This was such an easy win for them, in a time they needed one, and still managed to make it feel bad.
