No reason to ever but that one minor bounty and no real reason to do the bounties unless you only have half an hour to play all week? Rep is idiotic now, only reason to actively want to hit Rank 5 at all or even quickly is you desperately need eighty shells. Otherwise, not bothering with anything is the clear ideal.

Reading between the lines, what we really get is the insulting illusion of an expanded or deepened endgame, a bunch of redundant gear, and also some likely trash Exotics still bound to rng.

DESTINY has a place in my heart but when every single patch and update brings with it the potential for scorched Earth disaster, I see no reason to pay to subject myself to playing on a rug that is going to get pulled out from under me as many times as possible.

I think years of MMOs have deadened my fear of patches. Used to get very stressed about small things with each patch and fix in WoW years back then kinda didn't care anymore. Its a rollercoaster.

Its a shame when the players are so fed up they leave though esp when you miss out on some cool guys you used to play with giving up on it.
Where this is my first ever experience with patches, updates, and their ilk, and Bungie has made it a cruel, unforgiving experience.

Truth, I bought a console to be casual with but went nuts as I was dealing with some turbo gnarl tendonitis in my left delt. If I blow my shoulder out again I'll definitely buy but otherwise, I don't care to keep on this cart-before-the-horse game where loving Reddit dictates if I get to play how I enjoy or not. I already ran the strikes, dead game is dead for excellent reason. Biggest bummer but Bungie doesn't even care if I play or not.

This is me. It's a compounding confluence of things but at the core, Bungie has me sitting on an edge already over the cliff side because of their insistence to pinch pennies at the cost of a dollar, pennies being the loser idiot poors and plain ol' assholes they defend with their code and insistence that my attitude or the way I approach the game needs reworking.

Reminder that Bungie utilized misinformation and withheld information from the public when the game launched so people wouldn't know what they were buying. That is the company we are dealing with tomorrow, today, now.

What does this even mean?

Bungie issued a review embargo for days at launch so they could sell the game without anyone being any wiser on all the flaws the game had, the story it did not have, and so on under the guise of, "But there is so much game, you can't possibly play it and accurately reflect it in a review so quickly!" which is as transparently bullshit as it is telling about the mentalities of the people who push the game.

Um, it's plenty relevant because you obviously saw all the shenanigans and clearly knew about the aftermath but then went ahead and bought the game a year later with your eyes wide open and now want to bandwagon on the "bungie bad" train?

I don't have any problems with destiny or bungie for the most part and I don't complain about lag much here or otherwise. I like to clown on them but in the end I'm a pretty happy camper.

You acting like they're some super secretive organization that's casting a smokescreen or whatever the gently caress in order to make sales is laughable. Hmm, yes a company that expects to make money from their product is worried because the criteria that a 48 hour game review is based on will be fairly weak so they ask people not to judge it until they've done the cool stuff like raiding and such is very unreasonable.

What's even funnier is that you seem to think that Bungie should be hellbanning people with bad internet as though that would somehow not end up in a PR nightmare. I can guarantee you that both Sony and MS game developer licenses have provisions that prevent Bungie from discriminating specifically against people based on the quality of their internet services unless it literally can't connect at all.

I've been playing DESTINY as long as I've been playing videogames, a fact expressed numerous times to explain that the nuances of nerd poo poo are lost on me.

Further, I said nothing about bans or "hellbanning" or conspiracy. I mention history to back my opinions on my own experiences, which are unique in here, a place which shouldn't cannibalize it's already meager population. But you do you and I'll do me.

Hi, I'm the Destiny Newbie.

When you finish the free trial of Destiny on Xbox One, it opens up an (in-app) purchase menu where you choose between Taken King: Legendary or Taken King: Collector's Edition. Both of these include base Destiny

Whichever one you pick, it takes you to the Xbox Live Marketplace page for Destiny: The Taken King Add-On

which is $20 and does not include base Destiny

The Xbox Live marketplace does not sell base Destiny, so I had to immediately buy Destiny: The Collection for $60.

I'm in to Destiny for $80! Son of a bitch.

THE TAKEN KING included everything up to that point. You wasted $20.

Didn't the vidoc have a guy mention sidearms in passing? I think you're right, they're definitely going to get used, and not just for some broken special ammo type exploit. They're dope now with a little practice, it's just that the meta rules all.

You're not wrong. I moved not long ago to a place where the best internet money can buy is abject trash and I'm frankly used to my game being a coin toss. This was an unscreened selection from a handful of games yesterday and in lieu of a fifth damage marker, imagine you did see it because it's a shot I make a lot.

I think instead of a handful of shots eating it down, the first eradicates it? Which ostensibly can be countered by simply dipping in and out of the bubble an extra time or two, to heal? (I'm not a Defender, idk) Which means this change will only be an issue for anyone who is simultaneously blind, an idiot, and not paying attention?
