IT'S A "DON'T NEED TO PAY MORE" DLC, STOP COMPLAINING ONCE..

Guys guys... About the news.. Be at least once happy... It's a free DLC right, people working on that content are not making any money for the company. Yes they will reuse some stuff we had before, and that's totally fair. How can you make new content to make people happy and still don't waste too much money on it => reuse old stuff to make some new, that's a fair compromise ? They have a team working hard on the next big expansion later this year and another team even bigger working on Destiny 2 for next year. It's not like if lazy developers were taking drugs with some Russian chicks around a swimming pool at the top of Bungie's building. Edit: I saw a few comments about the DLC being part of TTK. So Instead of Free DLC, let's say then "you don't need to pay more for it" DLC. But I guess it's the same issue for any "Free DLC" (the division, the witcher...), it's never really free if you had to pay for a game at first. *Okay* Edit2: Okay they get money from the emotes that many people bought. But if the money is an issue for you I guess you didn't buy any emotes in the first place. Edit3: Sorry for my English ! Edit4: it is sad that I just wanted people to stop complaining and to just be happy once but they found a way to focus on FREE and DLC on my post and that's all... I guess I should just give up on them... :/ Edit5: People are just reading the title of the post and comment... :/ so i just changed the FREE to DON'T NEED TO PAY MORE.

  • I didn't buy the taken king (because I'm not a sucker). Do I get anything? Do I get access to new weapons and an upgrade to how high I can level my character? Or is it still pay to play?

    • No, if you truly want this game to succeed, you can't just accept old content. We need bungie to create new, interesting content instead. It's not happen within destiny 1s lifecycle, but we need to be heard that we won't just accept minimal content to keep us happy. They would need to do either things like this, or 2 week long events to show that they care a little.

      • No. For the love of God, all you White Knights seriously need to shut the hell up and just go away while the rest of us who actually value our time and money keep railing Bungie for their half-assed work. Bungie has essentially gotten away with murder and set some very bad and dangerous precedents for the gaming industry that I hope won't be encouraged any further. Now The Division is out and has outsold Destiny - in fact it's Ubisoft's fastest selling game ever - and they are panicking because people are leaving enmass and enjoying a game that mostly does right what Destiny did wrong. More than likely Eric Hirshberg is looking at the numbers and demanding Bungie finally do some actual work and put out a "free" update to keep people playing and talking about Destiny. And let's be perfectly clear here. This update is not "free". Everything up until now that we've paid for, before virtually every remaining Bungie founder left and the game fell into limbo and had to be restructured at the last minute, was supposed to be part of the original $60 package. The Taken King disc itself is literally just an access code for the files. So on top of paying for 3 fake DLCs (2 of which were in the data files of the base game) you also have the money they've raked in from microtransactions. Destiny cost roughly $140 million to make, with approx another $140 million spent by Activision promoting it. Within the 1st week of the game's release, they pulled in nearly $400 million in sales and TTK broke all kinds of records. So yeah, they have plenty of cash on hand and given all the negative PR and even guys like TripleWreck publicly voicing our collective frustration, it's no surprise they're marketing this as a "Free" update. It's little more than lip service, throwing a bone to appease the angry masses. Contrast this again to The Divison, which is already pumping out 2 big free updates for april and may (incursions and some new PvP mode who's name I forget) along with promised regular content updates, swift patches and a lot of extra content for season pass holders (Destiny's saved you $5 on stuff that should have been included anyway). TL;DR Bungie is reaping their own whirlwind here and I for one am loving it. Not because I want to see them crash and burn (Activision yes, Bungie no) but because maybe this will finally be the wake up call for them to get their act together and make Destiny the fun, epic Sci-Fi it should have always been. I hate on Bungie because I care about this game and they're a developer I've been fond of since Halo CE, not because bashing Destiny is trendy and there's a world of difference.

        • It ain't free because you can choose to buy it separately if you don't own the TAKEN KING

          • This is what they've been up to for 7 months?! The only reason we know anything about destiny 2 is because of the Activision earnings call, which said it was pushed back to 2017. Bungie themselves have never mentioned destiny 2 directly. Terrible communication.

              It's also a "lets milk this ttk crap for another couple of months with recycled and slighty tweaked content" - update. All this does is to buy them time for proper - long overdue - DLC. And a lot of you suckers are going to eat it up.

              • It's not free. We paid £/$40 for an expansion with content that was already created.

                              • That cant count as a dlc dude. Not saying im not stoked for poe or new content even if it is rehashed old shit. But its new content and not a dlc. Its a supplement to ttk which contains exotics that were advertised in the hype train prior to ttk drop. We still dont have those exotics, so i think its fair to say that this new content cannot be considered a standalone dlc. If they brought back crota, vog AND poe with all new enemies, rewards and exotics, that i would consider a dlc. This? Not so much
