I never said that people were being locked out of specific content, but rather I was referring to the change of the meta game regardless of whether you purchased the expansion or not. Apparently the Strike Playlists are different, and the level requirements have been changed to reflect that. Some aren't happy with this, and so on and so forth... I honestly wouldn't know, since I dropped the game after reaching level 27. My original statements were more for how people may not want these changes, and how they may also not want to pay the extra £40.
The statement you've quoted me on is mocking your indignation towards those who may not want to, or might not even be capable of purchasing the expansion. I mean, how can someone in this day and age, someone who plays videos game no less, not have enough spare cash to simply go buy the newest thing, right? At least that's what you seem to think.
I stoped playing right after the second DLC arrived, raids were just too difficult for me however I still enjoyed a lot nightfall strikes and doing daily missions and heroic strikes. My progresion was strange coins and Xur. With all the TKK media coverage I got interested on the game again but it seems I can't even play the strikes I used to enjoy at a decent difficulty, that pisses me off.Why are you even bothered if you're only just playing the HoW DLC? It's not like you're invested in the game anyway. You were probably going to wait for a price drop regardless of this news.
While I appreciate that there are examples of fleecing on all platforms, crap like this makes me feel better being a PC gamer!
I mean, how DARE someone be frugal with their spending! It's appalling to think that some of us expect to be able to play the game that we paid for, without having to pay extra just to keep that content! I am offended at the notion that some people may not have the available funds to purchase anything that they may want! /s
Come on, mate. Get off your gold plated high horse and realize that some people can't always by the newest toy in the window.
I also want to point out to people saying this is cheaper than paying for traditional Sub-based MMO's that, with WoW, I haven't paid for a month of gametime since tokens were introduced.
Tokens = months subscription payable with gold (very easily obtainable amount in a month). I essentially have enough gold after playing for a month and a half for 6 months subscription. I'll probably not pay for a sub the entirely of the next WoW expansion.
i can't see anyone that is still playing destiny that is only playing the vanilla content.
DeeJ's alt?Yeh I stand by what I said still, anyone moaning about not being able to keep up with Destiny because of £40 has to be paying for Live or PS+ as well (waste of money in itself, especially for someone with no money) The logic doesn't even add up, someone who is short on cash pays for online services to play Destiny? Get outta here.
And then there's the fact people feel like they need it now for some reason, if it costs so much just wait for a price drop in a while. Talk about entitlement, they don't owe you anything.
DeeJ's alt?
Didn't buy TTK because:
1) HoW was dog shit
2) Can't stomach giving £40 to Bungie when the game is $40 in USA
3) Don't want to deal with the fanboy community (aka Bungie Defence League), here and elsewhere, who won't have a bad thing said about Destiny despite all of the evidence
Evolve PC Monster Race Edition
Just adding my 2 cents as others are. It's not that I hate the game, I just dislike how Bungie treats their fans with regards to DLC and pricing which makes me resent the game. Crucible is shite though IMO.What's the issue then? I don't buy games I don't like either lol I also don't go into threads for games I don't like and post about how I don't like them.
What's Deej been posting, always hated his higher than thou attitude with the community.
I haven't finished the DLC yeti can't see anyone that is still playing destiny that is only playing the vanilla content.
Are people really justifying this?
It doesn't matter if you "shouldn't" be playing the vanilla game any more with TTK out, they shouldn't be gutting the vanilla game of its content, even if TTK does make most (all?) of it useless. People bought a game and now Bungie has just wiped out half the content that came with it.
Really shitty thing to do.

I think the core of Bungies team is very different now than it was for Reach.Man, how far Bungie fell in such a short span of time.
Guess it was MS who was keeping from being similarly shitty with Halo...
And conversely some people might have fallen on hard times in the past year making that £40 a bit harder to justify. Stop being a jerk where it isn't warranted.I'm glad I don't live in a world where £40 is too expensive. Do you buy like one game a year with your money out the penny jar?
People like buying shit they enjoy with their hard earned money, don't judge them for it because you don't like it.
I helped someone out in the destiny gaf thread who was trying to do the Level 8 devil's lair strike. He hadn't been able to be match made with anyone and when I grouped up with him the matchmaking tried for several minutes and then gave up without finding us a third player. Bungie is trying to avoid having all the old content suffer from bad matchmaking experiences like this, I don't see much wrong with it..

Disclose up front that continued use of advertised features will require additional payments or have separate playlists (rather than bury it in boilerplate). Just be honest about what they're selling. That's not too much, is it?

Nightfall and heroic strikes were end game content. They were just harder versions of the strikes in the base game. Now the people who don't have can't do it because they can't get to the new end game. The Crucible playlists was most likely done to cut down on matchmaking times. I won't defend that one but that is probably the reason.
So let me get this straight.
When vanilla Destiny launched, players were like "Bungie, you screwed us players with a product of lackluster content"
The Taken King fixes the faults of Year 1 Destiny and now players are like "Bungie, you screwed us vanilla Destiny players, we want the lackluster content back!"
Bungie didn't classify it as an MMO and certainly didn't state there was a subscription fee. Their unwillingness to explain what their product is (maybe they didn't have time for that) through a label or pricing model is the problem. The consumer can't make an informed purchase.I mean, everyone assumed it was going to MMO like in structure at the start right? People had to know at some point that new content would be released that made the old stuff obsolete and they'd have to move on eventually.

Imagine Bungie accepted the launch version was unfinished and offered TTK free as it finally fixed the flaws of V1. Would people complain?So let me get this straight.

3) the addition of The Taken King REMOVES/INHIBITS some of the content.
This is actually poorly worded and I pointed this out early to someone else, there's a new patrol mission that only TTK can partake I guess, the old "kill everything" missions still exists. Really this is just a case of people parroting information they know nothing about now.
Lol this is rich now, plays a pay monthly MMO, judges what other people spend money on, tries to justify it because you use coins now.
You were literally just telling people how they should feel about £40 and discrediting anyone who didnt feel it was expensive as you felt. Are you trying to get a rise out of people?
Someone has to buy Tokens though for you to purchase it. It is pretty much the equivalent of someone buying a lot of gold for $20. It is nice though for people that play a lot to save some money.
Posters that complain about UK vs US pricing I sympathise, £ 40 is not fair for UK.
I was disgusted and sold the game. They made the conditions clear AFTER purchase. This is drip pricing and seen as consumer unfriendly for good reasons.Over the last year they've made it perfectly clear that you'd need to have the latest DLC to keep playing the up to date weekly content. Same with this DLC release. What were your thoughts when TDB and HoW did the same thing?
So let me get this straight.. Players with the vanilla version are going to miss out on one weekly nightfall strike ( basilcly a "hard mode" version of a strike that drops the same year one loot you can vet everywhere now ) and people are calling this..
- Cut content
- Bungie locking out old content
- people wanting Bungie to warn players that they will be "locked out of content they paid for" ?
Really people? Am I reading this right? Over a Hard mode playlist that you can access any time you want?
My I ask what exactly you're being locked out of?
What is it with this game that brings this forum down to middle school level?
This thread, how many posters on here with outrage
1. Actually play destiny at this moment, like this week....
2. Play only the vanilla game
I could count them on one hand I bet. In fact if I looked up your destiny account, bet its 1 or 2 genuine posters. The rest, well, you know...
Also the amount of posts about the game now, Taken King, from posters who have not played it...wish I could review games I have not played...
Also how can posters mention good or bad value for a game they have not played...Really ?
Amazing, destiny really is love or hate...
Also all content is there, difficulty levels such as nightfall modifier is not because the end game is now 40 and Taken king.
Posters that complain about UK vs US pricing I sympathise, £ 40 is not fair for UK.
I feel like an ass sometimes for complaining about the US pricing, when across the pond they're REALLY getting screwed :/
I have 3 maxed out different classes characters. I don't have any of the expansions. If I wanted to go back and play what was there when I left when I payed $60 for the game on launch I should have this choice. It doesn't matter if I play it now or next month. I should have the content I payed for when I want. What's so hard to grasp about that?

Strike Legacy playlists are currently not providing rewards
This is known issue and will be hotfixed as soon as possible
