I've noticed a sharp decline in the random shitposting since I posted that. I wonder why, lol.

I get what you are trying to do, invalidate someones argument by posting their gamer credit in Destiny.

Let me ask you a question: what is the number of calculated hours VS a persons grimoire score VS their accomplishments, that gives a person a right to voice an opinion on a game they invested in. Because if you ask me, 60 hours into any video game is a hefty investment. 100, 200, 500, 1000 is in the ludicrous category, and just because a person put that many more hours into a game, shouldn't invalidate another persons opinion.

Take me for example, according to that site I have roughly 125 hours put into Destiny. I have not seen what the game has to offer in it's entirety, but I have seen enough to know that I would have liked to at least tried everything once. Too busy to sink 500+ hours over the course of 2 years should not invalidate my argument that pulling these modes, because it is assumed that no one will play them, that it is a bad idea. Removing options has never been a good idea in the past, and it will not start just because it is Destiny/Bungie.

That is my opinion, and I'll stick with it.

Based on their levels, they can't even enter the activities they are complaining about yet alone get butthurt Bungie is taking them away. Only people who get to complain are people who are actively playing the modes despite the fact they haven't touched the game before the modes even came out.

Makes sense. I am upset in the fact that they will not be there when I do have the opportunity. Not upset, like, "they took my money" upset. More like, I do enjoy the game, and I will not be able to experience through Destiny 1.

Being too busy with life, work, school, I most likely will not jump on the D2 train right away...and may miss that boat again as it passes onto D3. /sigh

That is my opinion, and I'll stick with it.

The thing that was pointed out the ones that were being very vocal mostly didn't participate in said modes to begin with

It's not something X = Destiny time played, y = Destiny Cred earned/veteran level and or status

Yet those who yelled the loudest or just cane through telling others that to stop brown nosing the Dev are laughable comments

It's understood ToO and IB were brought as events, that over time do need to be watched by Devs cause it's not just pulling a switch. Sometimes shit may go wrong, which it has in the past, so you need resources allocated to address the situation.

Iron Banner was almost a return to home call for players who've been jaded or to other that are fashionistas collectors to newer players who wanted LL Boost
Now there are so many countless ways to 400 IB isn't necessary
There doesn't need to be resources added to a game of keeping a schedule going when it's a known fact 95% of the population is going to Destiny 2

ToO is the same thing. The mode was an added bonus. Something to keep the hardcore going. Now it's not really needed, I get people want to see the Lighthouse, but they've had many years to reach

 

[jetsetnickradio]

Funny how anything negative about Destiny is shitposting.

It's shitposting when it's coming from people who don't even play the damn game.

No reasonable members of the Destiny community expected ToO and IB to continue after Destiny 2 launched. Those are hardcore events for dedicated players. That playerbase isn't going to still be playing Destiny 1 after Destiny 2 ships.

We're not saying someone needs to sink 500+ hours into Destiny in order to be able to complain about IB/Trials being moved to Destiny 2. What we ARE saying is that someone with just a level 12-15 character cannot even access those events, so their removal won't even affect them in any way as they stand now. In order to even be able to go into IB, you need to be level 40 (the max) and have a minimum Light level well beyond that. Ditto for Trials.

Funny how anything negative about Destiny is shitposting.

If it's revealed they don't actually have an argumentative leg to stand on and are just trying to trash the game for the sake of some petty agenda...then yes, it absolutely is.

 

[Bold One]

"Countless" time, lol:

A lot of you guys seem awfully upset about losing two PVP playlists (not modes or content) in a game you either barely played years ago or never played, lol. I just picked a couple random negative posts, but I'm guessing I'd get similar DestinyStatus results for basically everyone whining in here.

The manufactured outrage in this thread is amazing.

Always hilarious - I wonder why Destiny is a lightning rod for these sort of posters.

There are genuine grievances people have with the way the game models itself and rightfully so. But the rate at which people lose their shit at this game is really funny to me.
Really disappointed no one has shouted "ANTHEM" yet

The people shouting Anthem drove by earlier, but didn't mention it this time. They're still here. :lol

I get it guys. I was just trying to see where the grey area was between shitposting and an actual argument, as there does not seem to be a consensus in this thread. I wanted to post my thoughts, but I also did not want to incur the wrath of GAF, then sitting here on damage control because I have a mere 125 hours invested in the game or something.

Buuut I get. Say no more.

 

[93xfan]

What a shit move. Turning them off before the new game is even out. Already regretting my pre-order.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

So then theoretically this will happen to Destiny 2 when 3 comes out.

Won't bother jumping into this series then.

Seems like it's just been mostly a mess the whole time.

 

[atpbx]

I have 1071 hours in Destiny apparently, 78 hours are deleted, must be when I had a second warlock.

And I've not played it for ages.

Yeah, maybe in three years time, you won't be able to play Trials of Whatever in Destiny 2. We'll see.

 

[Wilde]

What a shit move. Turning them off before the new game is even out. Already regretting my pre-order.

Iron Banner has always been a once a month affair. There will still be an August Iron Banner, so no, they're not "turning it off before the new game is out". Destiny 2 will be out before the next Iron Banner would happen.

Trials is only available on weekends. You must be a pretty hardcore dedicated trials player if losing access to it for 3 whole weekends in a row is making you regret your Destiny 2 preorder.

Oh look, another person shitposting about Destiny, who admits that they don't even play Destiny...

The only good thing to come out of this is they are at least not handing over the reigns to 343.

Modes like Iron Banner and especially Trials of Osiris are for players who have the time to dedicate to maxing their level, getting the best weapons and armor (with the most optimal perks and stats) and for players who have the time to sharpen their skills to be among the best players in PVP. These modes are intended for the players who invest the most time into the game, not people who could only invest 100 hours over the span of 2+ years.

It's possible to still play those modes even if you don't have the absolute best gear or the best skills, but you're likely to have less fun with the modes and would probably have to seek out other players to "carry" you.

I think you also shouldn't expect to experience everything Destiny has to offer, even if you do invest the time. I have around 1000 hours of playtime and I haven't experienced every single thing Destiny has to offer. I never went to the Lighthouse, I haven't completed every single questline, I'm still missing a few Exotics like Razelighter, etc. But I'm okay with that. What matters is whether you enjoy your time spent with the game or not. If you didn't enjoy it, that's fine, but people who didn't enjoy the game or barely played it shouldn't get upset about missing out on content they were never going to play in the first place.

Even if Bungie kept these events in Destiny 1, the experience wouldn't be the same. The community simply wouldn't be there. And the community (and drive for loot) is what made those events fun, not the events themselves. Without the community and relevant gear, the modes are pointless.

 

[Pandy]

Gotta force them upgrades.

Amazing how quick the hype for D2 has died down since the reveal. This is literally more of the same artificial gating shadiness that Bungie pulled with D1.

Will consider picking up the PC version at a steep discounted after the first few expansion packs at this point. Meh.

As someone who was excited to give Bungie another chance with Destiny 2 and jump in on Day 1, it's news like this that makes me think I'll wait to see whatever the near-final form of D2 is and then pick it up at sale price instead.

EDIT: It's really not the detail of the announcement itself, but the implication that Acti/Bungie will continue to treat players that don't stay up-to-date with the latest content as second class customers even though they've often paid as much or more than later adopters. If that's how they want to run the game they should be honest about it and go subscription based.

2nd edit: Freudian 'EA' slip corrected. Must be because we're talking about shutting down old games.

Your post makes no sense.

These are time-sensitive events designed to keep the core base playing the game in-between expansions (aka during content "droughts"). Obviously they're not going to continue in the old game once the new one comes out.

And if you wait until D2's final days to buy the game you're going to miss out on these events again. You either participate or you don't. It's your choice. But if you choose to sit out you don't get to be salty that you missed out.

Yea, suck when life gets in the way, but I am not going to lose sleep over it. I'll try to clock 200 (because I like even numbers) hours before the shut down the servers and retire from the game. I'll just do what I can do in the mean time.

This, so much. Maybe some people just need to realize that Destiny isn't for them? I mean, I want more RNG, more grind, and I know that I'm longing for something that Destiny will never be again. And I've accepted that and will enjoy Destiny 2 for whatever it will be. But I don't expect to play 1900 hours of it like I did with the first.

That's a good attitude to have.

Just enjoy what you can, don't lose sleep over what you can't.

I haven't actually been able to play for a few weeks now because things have been really busy at the office and I've been putting in overtime, but I'm going to make an effort to participate in Destiny 1's final Iron Banner in August, even if it's just for a few matches.

It's like MMO's, you can join 1-2 years later, what you'll get is the nerfed, not level capped, faceroll encounters

You can try the stuff out in its original form, but not many gonna help cause that content has been grinded out by so much, it's just easier to just get the win and Loot, then fight at capped levels cause 1 person missed out on the experience

Same goes for Destiny

If a new player joins Destiny say in August, they'll have streamline content to see everything up to Raids
There still will be people playing, but your not gonna have a player pool like there was in Year 1
Hell DestinyGAF we were finishing OT's in days cause we had such a cult following and people helping each other out
Things died down during lull parts of no content released, but just as IB or Expansion dropped, the uptick became ridiculous again
The feeling of earning your Gjallarhorn still hands down is one of the most memorable gaming moments in Destiny. It was a you had to be there to feeling. Same with Raids and beating them. You built friendships and the community aspect became a resounding staple that will carry on to the sequel.

You can't match these things on a Legacy game that's been going on for over 3 years. It's better to start fresh in 2 and almost feel like you've caught up and not miss anything in between. To those saying I'll wait till Complete Edition, then you'll get sidelined again and you'll stay in the vicious cycle, only way to break out is be Day 1 or drop the game. In between era still catch up, but do miss out on stuff, cause every mystery or mechanic is grinded out to almost perfection, that it goes from skill to just hand holding

 

[Nydius]

Just like Activision shut off older CoDs?....


Destiny 1, including the PS3 and 360 versions, is going to be available for at least the next ten years or so, minimum. They're currently still supporting Halo 1 PC, which will notch off year 14 this year.

Activision has been far more aggressive with the monetization of Destiny as a new IP and that's the crucial difference. CoD and Halo were already established entities with dedicated long term fanbases before the modern era so supporting them and keeping those long term communities happy is in their best interest. It's NOT in their best financial interest to keep supporting Destiny - they want everyone on the newest iteration with the newest microtransaction and DLC schemes. There's minimal to no more money to be made in Destiny 1 and Activision damn well knows it.

Forget how they've constantly paywalled old content to push people into the new expansions, that horse has already been beaten to death. You know how I know they're not going to keep supporting the game like you suspect? Simple: The fact that they didn't even make the latest year of content available for PS3 and X360 despite having a loyal fanbase there. Nope, they wanted to push everyone into buying the game again on a new platform. After getting one to two years of money out of them for the original game + DLCs + TTK, they just dropped support and said: If you want the rest, well, get a PS4 or XBO and buy the entire game again as a pretty new Collection.

You're delusional if you think Activision or Bungie is going to keep Destiny 1 servers up for 10 years. 1 year, tops, for the last gen systems that they've already written off. D1 servers will be gone by the time D3 rolls around.

As others have said, the modes could be stuck on automatic for the remaining players. (This should have happened for SplatFests in Splatoon as well, by the by.)

D1's "final days" will come, but they shouldn't be tied to the launch of D2, nor D2's to D3. There are any number of reasons why the Destiny community at large might reject D2, or any future iteration, and decide to stick with the previous version. Particularly when it comes to PvP.

 

[Ivory Samoan]

I'm extremely more surprised that people are sad about this than I am that this is happening. Anyone who actually cares about Destiny will be playing Destiny 2. You seriously want them leaving a small live team working on the first game which is obsolete and will have no playerbase?

This so much.

Everyone who cares about Destiny will be there when D2 drops, it's going to be glorious too.

 

[nOoblet16]

I get what you are trying to do, invalidate someones argument by posting their gamer credit in Destiny.

Let me ask you a question: what is the number of calculated hours VS a persons grimoire score VS their accomplishments, that gives a person a right to voice an opinion on a game they invested in. Because if you ask me, 60 hours into any video game is a hefty investment. 100, 200, 500, 1000 is in the ludicrous category, and just because a person put that many more hours into a game, shouldn't invalidate another persons opinion.

Take me for example, according to that site I have roughly 125 hours put into Destiny. I have not seen what the game has to offer in it's entirety, but I have seen enough to know that I would have liked to at least tried everything once. Too busy to sink 500+ hours over the course of 2 years should not invalidate my argument that pulling these modes, because it is assumed that no one will play them, that it is a bad idea. Removing options has never been a good idea in the past, and it will not start just because it is Destiny/Bungie.

That is my opinion, and I'll stick with it.

60hours in a 3 year into a game like Destiny is nothing. It's not enough to exhaust the contents and experience everything. Even Vanilla Destiny would have required you to play a lot more than that to even see 90% of the available things. If one is really concerned about Trials and IB being removed so much so to make those kinds of posts then people expect those people making those comments to have a credible justification on why they think it's terrible. But they can't do that since they don't have the experience.

IB and Trials requires a live team to be working on the game, Destiny 1 was never going to have a live team working post Destiny 2. It's not removing content cause almost everything will be available still. And if there are people who care about every single piece of content and seeing/experiencing everything now despite the fact that a new game is coming out, then I don't know what these people were doing for the past 3 years.


200 hours sounds like a lot but over 3 years that's like 2 hours of game time in one entire week. Anyone who actually plays games would put in more than that per week on an average over 3 years. Now before you respond to that think about the following. The kind of game Destiny is, you would end up spending that much time in an entire week in this game even if you were moderately interested in playing the game. But if you aren't even moderately interested then why does it matter so much to you that you won't be able to see stuff that even players with 1000 hour of game time have barely seen.

 

[93xfan]

Iron Banner has always been a once a month affair. There will still be an August Iron Banner, so no, they're not "turning it off before the new game is out".

Trials is only available on weekends. You must be a pretty hardcore dedicated trials player if losing access to it for 3 whole weekends in a row is making you regret your Destiny 2 preorder.

I don't have to be dedicated. It's the principle.

This isn't the worst thing to happen this gen, but it does lessen the value of Destiny 1 for me, which makes me want to play that less now which makes me generally less excited about the series.

All I know is I'm not sure if I'm going to keep playing Destiny 1 and trying to get things like ice breaker and other useful weapons if the game is about to become less relevant.

 

[alt27]

So then theoretically this will happen to Destiny 2 when 3 comes out.

Won't bother jumping into this series then.

Seems like it's just been mostly a mess the whole time.

Why would you want to play trials or ib in destiny 2 when destiny 3 is out?

Weird

I get you want the content etc, and I think august is a little early to end the activities for D1, but once a new version is out D1 servers will be vacated. The people that play now will basically all buy d2 day one.

 

[E92 M3]

[FyreWulff]

Simple: The fact that they didn't even make the latest year of content available for PS3 and X360 despite having a loyal fanbase there. Nope, they wanted to push everyone into buying the game again on a new platform.

There was <10% of people on 360/PS3 when Rise of Iron came out and they could no longer fit the new content in the 360/PS3's memory.

You're delusional if you think Activision or Bungie is going to keep Destiny 1 servers up for 10 years. 1 year, tops, for the last gen systems that they've already written off. D1 servers will be gone by the time D3 rolls around.

This is a company that made a secret method inside of Reach to update your Spartan and emblem on Bungie.net after they were cut off from the data feed by hiding a data string in the game's menu.

This is the company that when they had to sell off the Myth IP to Take Two and were therefore forced to shut down the original bungie.net, open sourced the bungie.net server and let the community take it over and update it.

This is the company that supported Halo 3 game records, films, and screenshots from 2007 until 2012, and only had to drop support due to legal separation stipulations from Microsoft.

This is the company that supported Halo 2 stats from 2004 to 2010, and once again, the only thing that stopped them was that the original Xbox Live was shut down. They weren't even notified it was coming down ahead of time, they found out the same time we did.

They own Destiny's IP, the tech, and everything. Destiny 1 will keep working as long as the console makers let those consoles sign in.

Also, we're only two months away from the 1 year anniversary of last gen Destiny 1 cutoff.. but we already know they're getting an update in October.

No, you wouldn't. If you were a hardcore fan you would understand that this is not a big deal.

I've yet to see a single "hardcore fan" that is livid or even upset about this. The hardcore fans don't care, we have played the crap out of Destiny for 3 years, and we're all ready to move on to Destiny 2. We don't care about "losing" 2 PVP playlists (again, not modes or content) for 3 weeks.

 

[c0de]

Wow, we've gone from fake outrage from people who don't play the game, to theoretical outrage (again, from someone who doesn't play the game):

No, we've gone from people who don't play the game have no right to criticize to people who didn't play enough of the game to criticize.

 

[Strakt]

lol im never surprised when someone on neogaf makes a destiny thread and the responses are from people who don't even play the game, hate the series in general, or just blow it way out of proportion

If you've never played Destiny, you don't get to come into a Destiny thread, do nothing but shitpost and pretend to be outraged about something you don't understand, and then get annoyed when people call you out for it.

Obviously people have "the right" to post here, but if they've never played the game, or not played it enough in 3 years to even access these end game PVP playlists, then their criticism is irrelevant, and comes off as nothing more than trolling.

If you've never played Destiny, you don't get to come into a Destiny thread, do nothing but shitpost and pretend to be outraged about something you don't understand, and then get annoyed when people call you out for it.

Obviously people have "the right" to post here, but if they've never played the game, or not played it enough in 3 years to even access these end game PVP playlists, then their criticism is irrelevant, and comes off as nothing more than trolling.

This is some pretty horrible elitism going on about Destiny in here.

For you and for others for sure but what is happening here can be criticized even if you didn't play the game and rightfully so. This thread would've been smaller if there wasn't so much complaining from people about people who think others don't have the right to criticize “their“ game.

Except most people who haven't played it have no context with regards to what is actually being removed. They're simply cutting down on playlists to move the remaining (Small) population into existing playlists. The modes are ALL STILL THERE.

They are removing Live Events from a game that is essentially being put out to pasture. Trials and IB are live events, not persistent events. I don't see what the problem is here. The live team is moving on from D1 to start working on D2.

I also think it's funny that most people bitching in this thread have barely even played the game.

It actually has nothing to do with Destiny.

In principle, it is ridiculous to criticize, or pretend to be outraged about changes made to ANY game that your have never played.

This is not exclusive to Destiny.

So why move them at all and not just remove it?

So why move them at all and not just remove it?

To spell this out for you and everyone reading.

1: Trials and IB are lategame PvP activities that are timed and show up at set intervals.

2. Both modes require you to be at or near max gear level, which means you would need to both own the latest content and have played recently to get to max gear.

3. If you don't currently play IB or Trials, why are you complaining about them being gone for 3 weeks? Anyone that is still playing Destiny regularly will obviously be moving to Destiny 2 on Day 1 (whether that be console or PC).

The only justifiable complaints IMO are from Destiny 1 players moving to PC and don't get the game for a month and a half but that's a different issue.

Expecting them to keep manpower on an obsolete game when they should be using that time on the sequel is also shit. I want 100% effort put into D2, not less and especially not because there are a fraction of a fraction of a player base who want to play the old game.

What is this non-sense? Bungie are removing the features from the first game that they're hoping to push and monetise in another game. They're not removing the micro-transactions, which apparently pays for everything. Keeping modes in the game should require zero man-power, or already be paid for.
