  • I'll be buying COD before I buy this DLC. But only because I've already put 200+ hours into Destiny. I'll complete COD and probably get bored quickly, play a bit of Diablo and then come back to Destiny to collect more items and spend more strange coins. - that's how a true gamer thinks, none of this complaining bollocks wasting precious time that could be spent grinding for ascended items, motes of light and engrams. - an Xbox gamer

  • Makes me wonder if all these comments are even being read by a bungie employee or they just give zero -blam!-s.

  • You realize psn isnt getting the dlc that comes out december an entire year before it comes out for xbox? It is released at the same time for both networks. Psn got exclusives on release day yes but not dlc. Please atleast let your frontal lobe develop before posting on here.

    • At last one expansion pack I paid the money for on my PS4, but... It looks like it's all Pvp, and the only element the expands the story requires a Fireteam of 6 members... I struggle to form one of 3 members, and I don't enjoy Pvp... Not impressed reading the update... Will have to try and play it, but from the outset and reading doesn't appear I will be!!! More story, more rpg... Less Pvp please. Make a daily or story mission for a solo run at deep dark and I will be happier.

          Alright Deej listen the -blam!- up! Fix the raid and make it so the tele is NOT random you -blam!-ing stupid retard! The only way we will be able to beat hard mode is if you make the raid back to what it was (discluding atheon push)

          • My question is simple. Y are we only getting 2 lvls after the game will have been out for three months. I mean doesn't seem like much at all considering I have 2 lvl 30 an a 28. So for me to be at that point already I have to wait a whole another month to get any further in the game. Please answer my question.

              • [quote][url=/en/News/News?aid=12337]The Dark Below[/url][/quote] Love the game and enjoy playing every moment I can (when the misses is out) lol but profiteering from hard working people and saying buy now and youll get this great addition to your game without explaining that you'll have to wait almost year for the full product because exclusive rights, I can understand a month or two but a year how much money did they pay because gaming is meant to be at the heart of bungie not greed!

              • Interesting interview with the president of Bungie talking about the Dark Below and criticism of the game. [quote]What, exactly, is in The Dark Below expansion? Harold Ryan: There's going to be new armour, weapons and gear, including new legendary and exotic items for players to earn. The light level cap will go up to level 32, so for players who are playing into the endgame, they've got a couple of more levels to go, which is going to really help them with the raid and other competitive weekly strikes and events. There's a new vendor character in the Tower, with a pretty interesting story to tell, that you'll be able to experience and play through once you buy the DLC. Her name is Eris. She's going to send you on a mission against the Hive to help stop Crota and his efforts to invade and take over the Solar System. In addition, your options are expanding with three new multiplayer arenas and a new raid, which will come with the expansion, but like the first raid it will unlock over time. What are the story missions, exactly? Harold Ryan: We're not going into the exact pieces and parts of it. We want people to explore them as they meet Eris. But Eris will send you on a quest that will take you through the new story content of the expansion. Do the story missions play out in a similar fashion to the story missions we've already seen in the game? Will there be new cutscenes, dialogue and characters? Can you talk about their structure? Is there anything different going on compared to what we've seen before? Harold Ryan: The structure of the story in this expansion is different than the story in the core game. Looking at how the story plays and how we wanted to repackage it and reacting to fan feedback, we're taking a different approach to the story in this one. So it's going to be driven in a very interesting way for players, as you meet with Eris in the Tower and follow her guidance through the story. I'm sure you're well aware of the negative reaction to the story in the core game. You say it'll be different in the DLC, but how exactly? Harold Ryan: Have you done the Thorn exotic quest? I'm right at the end and need someone to help me with the last stage. Harold Ryan: So, looking at how the exotic quests work, like the Thorn quest, was the inspiration for how we're attempting to tell the story in this expansion. And so it's going to feel much more emergent and interactive in the world as you play through and unlock the story of Eris. One of the things people criticised Destiny for was the lack of story in terms of how it played out within the missions. For example, there was a general lack of characters, exposition, cutscenes and dialogue - the kind of stuff we've seen a lot of in the Halo series. Is that something you will address with the story missions in the DLC? Harold Ryan: What you'll see in this expansion, it's going to be a very different approach to telling a new story to players than the thematically-driven story from the original launch of the game. It's going to feel much more loot driven and story driven in that it's going to feel faster-paced with more action as you go through it, and with exposition. The important thing about Eris is, this story is going to be her story, and she's going to send you on a mission that's a lot of fun. Recent leaks suggest there are three new story missions. Is that correct? Harold Ryan: There are multiple missions in the story, but they're all driven through Eris in the Tower [Bungie has since confirmed The Dark Below includes three new story missions]. What will The Dark Below add on the PVP side? Harold Ryan: We're launching three new multiplayer arenas. The Pantheon is set in the Black Garden in a Vex temple, and it's a pretty interesting close quarters combat map. There's a new vehicle map called Skyshock. We want players to explore the details of it when it comes out as well. That will give us enough vehicle maps to start working on more interesting vehicle focused game types and hoppers in the future. Will you add any new vehicles for use in Skyshock? Harold Ryan: It's just a new arena. We're not talking about new vehicles. The last map is The Cauldron. It's another close quarters arena. I saw a post recently about changes to Iron Banner, which are welcome. But will you make any fundamental changes to the Crucible in its standard mode? Harold Ryan: We're making changes across the board based on feedback and how people are playing, both balance changes and mechanical changes to improve matchmaking times and latency, which are both really good already, but are always the kind of thing we want to dial in. We're building a sizeable team just to work on the live game. That group is continuing to get better at taking feedback from the community and building on patches and updates to the world. Can you speak about any of those gameplay changes in any detail? Harold Ryan: No. The reason is, we have a bunch planned, but we have to build them and test them, and then depending on how stable they are they get slotted into releases. We're doing weekly update notes, and as things pass our QA department they get slotted in and announced. There are a bunch in the works, but I can't overcommit to them until they get through QA. What new strikes will be added? Harold Ryan: There's a new strike, The Will of Crota. You fight a new boss in that, Omnigul. That's just one new strike that's global. And then PlayStation users get a new exclusive called The Undying Mind. They get a new exotic as well. It's centred in The Black Garden as a strike. Is there any more exclusive content for PlayStation owners? Harold Ryan: No, not as a part of this release. What can you tell us about the raid, Crota's End? Harold Ryan: This is another raid built with the same experiential goal of being endgame content for players. It's set in the Hellmouth, which we think is a fun place to go for a raid. But beyond that, we want it to be something people experience for the first time as they work their way into it, get to the right level and can actually survive. Part of the appeal of Vault of Glass was experiencing new gameplay mechanics for the first time with friends. Will you be switching things up again in a similar way as you did with Vault of Glass, which has a platforming section, a stealth section and encounters that require tactics we don't see in the rest of the game? Harold Ryan: Yeah. The only thing I'll say is, for sure it's going to require learning and adapting to the tactics required to beat the raid and getting your gear dialled in as well, so you can actually survive the encounters. Are you making any mechanical changes? Harold Ryan: We're adding new bounty slots as part of this, so people can keep doing the weeklies along with picking up the new content that comes with the expansion. We're going from five to 10. The thing to know is every single week we're triaging through what we can add and evolve in the game, both on the platform side and on the user experience design side. There's a lot of core work that's been going on over the last three months on The Dark Below, and daily and weekly we're changing things as well. We literally just finished putting together The Dark Below. We'd hoped we'd be going to a new planet with the new expansion, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What can you say about the possibility of going to new areas we haven't been to in the launch game? New worlds, that kind of thing. Harold Ryan: In The Dark Below you're not going to a new planet or a new destination. But you will find many new experiences in existing ones. Is it possible we will go to new planets in the second expansion, House of Wolves? Harold Ryan: House of Wolves is not something we're ready to talk about at this point. But we certainly understand the desire for new destinations. There's a multiplayer map in the game now set on Mercury, which feels like a tease at what might have been, or what might be. Harold Ryan: Yeah, Mercury would be a fun place for sure. Are there any new modes in Crucible? I've seen mention online about a mode called Double Play, which is a 2v2 mode. Is there anything new in terms of modes in Crucible? Harold Ryan: Nothing we're confirming at this point. We're testing a bunch of ideas and concepts that relate to the game modes for the Crucible. You've seen already the programmed events, which we turn on over time. That's part of ongoing work and testing. Then see how people are playing and make changes to the world. But you can't say whether there are any new modes coming in with The Dark Below? Harold Ryan: No. The thing about Destiny for us is, because everyone's connected, we're constantly working on what's going to be ready and what's going to be the best thing to roll out. We'll be working on what specifically the Crucible is and how it will evolve week by week, all through the holidays, including when The Dark Below goes live....

                • So much has been left unfulfilled by BUNGIE so much was promised and each promise was broken. At anytime will there be a Q&A to remove doubt from the gaming communitys mind before they (Bungie) reaches back into my wallet to strip me of my hard earned money with the DLCs? This YouTube video raises valid questions and points and I personally would like answers but as Im sure BUNGIE will ignore their fan base and continue to deliver mediocrity while blatantly laughing in our faces and counting our money. The YouTube video should be in this post I would appreciate it if everyone gave it a look, it's 35minutes long but filled with insight on why BUNGIE delivered us with less than what they promised on a monumental scale. Also it's not my video so please don't think this is a ruse to get likes or views I just would like someone to offer us as a community answers. It won't let me post the URL in this forum but YouTube search "Don't Buy [u][/u]The Dark Below" I guarantee it will atleast raise one question you would like BUNGIE to respond too. Thank you in advance fellow gamers ~~~ PureBlood

                • And add matchmaking for the raids. I only really add real friends who I can go and have a pint with. And only a couple of them have PS4. If not this will be another element of the game I can't play because you think strangers can't communicate and work as a team. Don't be so -blam!-ing patronising! I've noticed your extra content is suddenly ready. Just happens to be just before GTA5 and Farcry 4 are released. You -blam!-ing sock cookers!

                • When you think about how little content is in destiny at launch, then the dark below "expansion" is almost a third of the game again. Maybe that's why they made it so expensive... I'm still gonna buy it.

                          • Bungie, I paid extra for the limited edition and I have to say that I am never buying you stuff again. I may have purchased Halo, halo 2, Halo 3, and even Halo Reach...but Destiny is where it all ends. You ruined the Atheon part of the raid ( As its been known that he teleports 1 or 2 people) and you even removed the teleportation thing which would require TEAMWORK!!! They get to CHOOSE who goes in the portal so the teamwork would be even MORE flawless...but no, you just had to screw EVERYTHING up and even provide a glitch with Atheon where he teleports 1 or 2 people in there to screw up the teamwork even more. Whats worse, I just SOMEHOW managed to beat the raid and got no Atheon Epilogue from it. Only Ascendant energy and a STUPID ship. Please either fix the game RIGHT or I want my money back. I have A LOT to complain about and the raid is just the beginning.
