They do the XP thing all the time which to me, Isn't that big of a deal. This is locking out a whole strike, which the game is usually pretty short on anyway.

This sounds just to bizarre to be true. Its something that I would expect happen in a South Park episode, but nowhere else.
If true, then I would say buying anything Destiny is out if question out of principle. No matten how fun the game is or isnt.

Such times we live in when I see this, Season Pass not enough to get all post game content, fucking console versions running better than high end computers, Origin store with upcoming games figuring Standard, Deluxe, Premium editions... I mean yeah just pay your pc games for over 110€, I mean why not.
Oh yeah this will be my most loved and used gif for gaming.

This will most likely be something like getting an extra nothing kill ten sheep quest in WoW as a little promotional quest. The horror. Make it end.
Well yeah, that's BS there.

While I agree the quest itself is likely insignificant, I think it's disingenuous to pretend its laughable that this is the proverbial straw for some people. Even people who like the game have to admit by now that Destiny-era Bungie's community management and engagement has been a fucking shitshow.
There's a lot of anger boiling and it's all coming out. It just varies from individual to individual which specific incident sets it off.

There are some really good first-person crocheters out there.
Yep! But I think it is always EXP boosts and such not actual map packs/exclusive content. But I'm not sure maybe there are gun skins and such these days.

I think the culmination of all the criticism on top of this is adding up
I wouldn't assume its this one last straw I think people are just expressing themselves in raw form
Is that a direct quote from Luke or paraphrasing?

the quest is probably "do this 3 missions you've played before in 15 minutes". not a big deal but yeah, rubbing salts in wounds.
It's not THAT uncommon for big fall releases to have trinket codes for costume DLC or XP boosts or whatever and this mission is unlikely to be anything worthwhile in the first place.
This here just strikes up more outrage since people are already worried about a dearth of content and there's been other content locked away behind the most expensive collectors edition.

people defending this HAVE to be working in marketing themselves, right? hard to fathom otherwise.

You could say energy drinks marketing promotions really are Bungie's...Destiny.

Yup yet somehow this will be spun into a huge issue because Destiny.
Sure, I definitely agree their community management has been horseshit, but Christ it's a dumb promotional addon. The kind of content this game needs won't be something like a dumb go kill these three dudes in the open world shit.
As far as what little has been seen of the new expansion, they are doing all the right things but nobody fucking cares cause nothing good can be in destiny. Just fucking stupid bubble chamber talk all the time.

Move over Mountain Dew, there's a new sheriff in town
I'm a bit surprised that a company that had such good community relations before suddenly doesn't seem to prioritize that anymore or at least suddenly became incapable to maintain good community relations.
But i only follow destiny from GAF threads so maybe i get the wrong impression on that.
No, that would be this
Dead. Best image.
To be expected, I guess. It isn't exactly a trivial effort to make an appropriate rate of return on a $500M investment (if I recall correctly, that is the investment Activision is making), so, you can expect to see silly shit like this to get some of it back.
Not saying I like it; I'm just saying I get it. It's all about money at this point, like most things.

You could say that Bungie is about to be...taken for a ride
Obviously the promo is for a shitty little quest mission with a crap reward.
Still feels like an extra little gut punch just as you're being KO'd.
Haha it's just sickening and scary how they know Destiny players are used to paying a premium for any sort of extra content.
Welp, the game is usually starved of shit to do in the first place!

Bungie and Activision deserve all the hate for the way they treat their fanbase.

No it's not, red bull is extremely expensive
Nah, even on the main thread we mostly agree that they are terrible at communication. To be fair, they definitely talk and engage waaaaaay more than most companies/studios but deej is an expert at non answers and bad annoying fluff talk. Early on in the first few months they were fucking awful at fixing issues in the game. They are muuuuuuch better and on point about it now, specifically with House of Wolves.

Oh for sure
This is exactly what Bungie wanted all along. They saw that COD money and started drooling
Given the amount content the game has made for the supposed 500mil, it seems that all that money was spent on 1mil/piece reskins.
I don't believe they are that incompetent. I don't think they got even 10% of that for destiny 1 development. Though given their attitude it might just be incompetence.

UGH. It sounds like we're junkies craving another hit.
Making people wait to play actual game content for a promotion is annoying. But at least at the bare minimum it goes to everyone in a time after. Versus before which was "never".
Sgt. Johnson is STILL locked away for everyone in ODST. Since 2009.
An Adrian Newey quest in Destiny? I thought their gameplay was designed to not be streamlined.

Because of the lack of content in the main game, and TTK offers even less content for the same price.
