The single microtransaction I could justify putting money aside for in Destiny would be a ghost voice pack, featuring Snoop Dogg, because I know exactly where that money would go.

I still can’t get over how nice Vanilla and Y2 D1’s use of modular gun models was. Most of the archetypes has just a few base models but they dressed up the bases with all sorts of doodads and accoutrements to where you didn’t really notice or care.

Then RoI vendors all shared the same base models with no real changes, and holy hell D2 is somehow even lazier given that we can literally use shaders to reskin the reskins.

I don't remember this, but I don't exactly keep that close of tabs on it. I didn't expect much, but maybe more than the barest fix like this (that shouldn't have been needed). I was hoping for Prometheus to get some love, but I knew better. Hell, maybe address some of the other bugs that have been in since launch.

Bungie's always had world-class hard surface modelers working on that stuff. They did an excellent job of creating modular kits for weapons in D1 to increase effective variety. It's a shame there's much less of that now than before, since it's basically impossible to create 400 bespoke gun models in any reasonable amount of development time.

They said Prometheus would be addressed, but not for this update. This update was probably always going to be about righting the wrong of event lockout, which caused a ton of outrage. I assume that issue had its priority elevated and the update for today was kept tightly scoped so the client changes, related non-client work, and qualification could be completed before the studio went on holiday break.

They basically admit that eververse was an end not a means.

I mean this could be a crazy game of telephone so who knows what exactly went down but that’s the key takeaway from what new info we got from the interview.

They had a revenue target to hit

they were getting crushed with pushing out DLC to make $

they introduced the eververse to make $ without pushing out dlc

This is stupid, DLCs make the game bigger and more desirable. poo poo on item shops are just extras people buy when are happy with the game, but without DLC / Expansions /Whatever you don't have a game to begin first.

Somebody in Bungie don't understand videogames at a fundamental level.

Sounds like Bungie got owned in their publisher agreement negotiation or can’t manage their dev teams, likely both!!!

can someone who is good at pvp explain the spawns in the last few seconds of this clip?

http://xboxdvr.com/gamer/marthas45673USD/video/41726956

i kill the team with golden gun, one of them spawns very close to me and another follows suit (you can barely see him in the last half second of the clip). another guy spawns a decent bit away, but you can see him run across a sightline easily within scout range.

it seems like if the goal is to put them in a neutral place, there were probably better choices, or maybe the instant spawn of mayhem makes stuff wonky, but idk anything.

They work ok if your both teams are fairly grouped together. The second people at5art splitting heavily poo poo goes crazy and you get get 4 guys clown carring right on top of you with oversheilds.

But generally the spawns are pretty poo poo, cuz the maps are mostly small.

Endless vale is the best/worst for this, depending on which side of the punishment you're on
