Definitely had to pay money to get 3 free treasures, 2 new emblems, 4 amazing shaders and a couple free masks.

Not taking sides right now but be careful with the word "free". Not a single thing in destiny is free considering there is a cost to actually buy the base game. If the game was free to play it would be a different matter.
-
It's a free update. I didn't have to pay for this additional content.
-
Actually you did. The idea that you buy a three course meal and the restaurant claiming third meal is free is not really a thing.
-
Terrible analogy.
-
-
But you did have to pay for the game. A person who does not own destiny does not get the update.
-
No way. News flash to me! I'm saying I was not promised this content upon the purchase of Destiny. This was [u]FREE[/u]. [b][u]ADDITIONAL[/u][/b]. CONTENT. A d d i t i o n a l

Edited by EMW ZEEK: 10/30/2016 6:37:45 PMNot additional "promised". (Edit oh you said this I consider it promised) And it was still paid for by us even if indirectly. Also this conversation was about festival of the lost right? What content is there to begin with? 2 quests? At this point after listening to various people on the forum, reddit, and youtube I dont consider fotl to even be additional, content, or free like at all anymore. For something to really be free the person offering it needs to take some sort of a loss of revenue. Fotl alone has made bungie around 3 million dollars according to reddit. So is a company earning 3 million dollars really "free" to you?

Edited by Kreis: 10/30/2016 6:38:51 PMWasn't promised. I don't recall being promised festival of the lost or SRL upon the purchase of Destiny.
-
At vanilla we were promised "updates and events" Pretty sure that festival was then specified as being one of those events at the purchase of TTK. Sparrow racing might be a different story but we are not talking about that right now.

2 EMBLEMS?! No way! That's amazing! [spoiler]i wonder how long it took them to photoshop them shitty emblems together.[/spoiler] I swear this community overhypes EVERYTHING
-
[quote]2 EMBLEMS?! No way! That's amazing! I swear this community overhypes EVERYTHING[/quote] we are so starved for content that even the smallest amount of content is treasured

It was free. It. Was. Free.
-
It never was. Look at it like this: You got to a restaurant and pay an entry fee for an all inclusive meal. The drinks aren't actually "on the house" when you do that. Now with this event not only did you already pay for an all inclusive meal....some people already paid extra for drinks for everybody. Do this event has been paid several times over and is absolutely NOT free.
-
You're really bad at making analogies. It's free additional content. Just like SRL, I didn't have to pay any additional fees to participate in this event. I don't believe I was promised access to any of these events following the purchase of Destiny. I don't have any evidence to support this statement, but I'm pretty sure you don't need Rise of Iron to participate in the Festival of the Lost event either. Festival of the Lost was not something we knew we would be getting when we purchased Destiny.

Let me ask you this. Have you bought any of the DLC or any amount of Silver since the game was launched? If so, the "event" is not free. More so how they changed it since last year. Free is Overwatch. I paid $47.99 on Amazon (20% off with Prime preorder.) I have not spent a penny since I received the game. During the Summer Blizzard released the Summer Event. All items could be earned by playing OR purchasing loot crates. I just played and earned what I could. The Halloween event was released and Blizzard actually took the communities comments about the Summer Event and improved the Halloween event. All skins, stickers, emotes, win stances could be earned by playing OR by using in game currency that you received from duplicates. Point being, I spent $47.99 on Overwatch. Since release we have received a new character. New map. Two events with additional skins and cosmetics. Did I have to grind to receive a lot of the items? Yes. But Destiny let you get as many bags as you wanted last year. Now they limit you to a total of 3. The rest you have to buy. Again, if you paid for ANY of the DLC or Silver, then the event isn't free. Just because you love Bungie doesn't mean you should be blind to their cash grab.
-
I disagree with most of Bungie's decisions, and I hate how they've treated the dedicated part of their community. This isn't worth arguing about. Enjoy the free content produced from the money people have wasted on Silver.
-
It was free, but why not have it so you can obtain all the stuff by playing the game
-
2 of the shaders (if you're being generous) actually look decent.
-
Opinions. 2 of the 4 have a glowing effect and look good on other classes besides the Hunter. Superblack is great. The dark shining blue shader is also great. Opinions are nice.
-
Superblack looks good and candle light also looks nice if you're being generous. The blue is practically just double banshee and the green one looks awkward. Not opinions, facts.
-
Not facts, opinions. In the same way you like candlelight but not sea of tears, I'm the opposite. Opinions. Accept them.
-
How do you get candlelight ;~;
-
You'll need to open a chest at the end of a strike with a skeleton key. However, it isn't a guaranteed drop.
-
Strike horde chests.
