Its numbers in a video game, "Power level" isn't really directly indicative of your power level either, and all it gives you is further pointless cosmetic stuff anyways. If you're really stuck on being the victim of corporate injustice, then I suppose this is a trumpet you can blow. The XP throttling absolutely matters, a lot even. They are deliberately hiding actual XP gains by giving you a false number. And they are not even admitting it, all they said was "it is not working as intended". When it comes to things that actually can be bought with real money, lying to your customers is NOT going to paint you a good image. Just think about how the Overwatch community will react if Blizzard displayed a false number on the post game exp bar. | ||

Just think about how the Overwatch community will react if Blizzard displayed a false number on the post game exp bar. Iunno. Having played the game to some lengths, I don't feel like I was lied to. At no point did I get the understanding that I was supposed to get X number of of experience per level, and my only real indication of bright engram progress was an experience bar accompanied by numbers with no frame of reference. If it said I got 2,000 experience and the bar went up some portion, I felt safe to assume it went up the appropriate amount, given that it was 2,000 units of currency into a pool of undefined depth. After hitting level 20 and progressing through some bright engrams, I was equally left with the feeling that the gaining of bright engrams was not linear; The first few bright engrams seemed to come in a bit of play over a single session, whereas now they seem to come one in a couple of sessions, even with the weekly exp multiplier. Given that feeling, I assumed there was some sort of gradiated system to bright engrams or exp, even though I never bothered to do the math and figure it out. Lastly, what makes this relevant -at all- is the fact that you can pay real money for bright engrams. They're not valuable to the actual strength of your character (Which, aside from milestones that let you access new events or features is mostly irrelevant anyways) and only provide cosmetic benefits, or gentle increases to efficiency in what is almost immediately irrelevant farming. If you could not buy bright engrams for money, no-one would be crying that a company lied to them about the amount of fictitious currency (in this case exp) one portion of the game was claiming to give to them. It would be like if there was a cap on the amount of glimmer you could get in a set period of time. If you couldn't get more than 5k glimmer an hour, yet opening a box or killing an enemy still had a UI display that showed you accumulating currency, people wouldn't be fired up about being lied to. Tl;dr Is a company lying to you about something related to real money bad? Yes. Is Bungie outright lying about how much exp you earn? There's debate here. Is anyone justified in playing the victim of corporate injustice? I think most sane people will recognize how inconsequential this actually is, rather than grabbing their pitchforks.

I think it's that you inject your ego into any debate you participate in, which leaves very little room for actual conversation. That said, I don't really pay attention to wtf you post because we don't cross paths often. I just remember reading some of the shit you wrote somewhere and thinking you weren't worth interacting with. There's something in here about internet warrior and/or internet bully, too, but I don't care enough to source that thought. | ||

ok. There are shades of gray here, it took me like 2-3 days of on and off playtime to get to lvl 20/205 and thats without trying, just doing the campaing/events And isn't lvl20+ just stuff like cosmetics ? like almost worthless ? If you are going to compare that to asking money to get more powerful then i dont want to live in this world anymore | ||

I think most sane people will recognize how inconsequential this actually is, rather than grabbing their pitchforks. the victim//perpetrator//injustice paradigm is off base. this is a customer//vendor relationship between players and bungie. some customers/players aint happy. Bungie/Vendor chose to deal with it. it appears some customers continue to be dissatisfied with how Bungie responded to XP throttling. Now, Bungie can choose to ignore it because its too small an issue or Bungie can choose to deal with it further. I think there is some kind of Wednesday fireside chat planned.. let's see if it comes up.

I think ATVI got spooked by the worry of "another Loot Box Debacle" and now ATVI is leaning on Bungie hard. ATVI doesn't want this thing interfering with XMAs sales. This thing is clearly fixable however If Bungie fucks this up and this idiocy leads to a 2 week consumer revolt against the Activision brand then heads at Bungie will roll. Activision is extremely protective of its brand. + Show Spoiler + Samuel Jackson is Activision. Chris Tucker is Bungie. | ||

I dont see how Activision is protective of their brand, people shit on Activision all the time when they do greedy shit, like what they did with Guitar Hero and all the shenanigans they did with the CoD4 remaster. | ||

However, ATVI/Kotick values brand strength very much. Kotick is a huge believer in brand strength. That is why he bought the Activision name and then merged with Blizzard. in 1991 the Activision brand was extremely strong when Kotick bought it. Activision had legendary status in that era. At the time of teh Blizzard merger Blizzard's brand was very very strong. Notice, Activision insta-fired the studio that made the last Guitar Hero. I'm confident Kotick can fire 5,000 employees in 1 day and get a full 8 hours sleep that same night.

Its absolutely nothing compared to the awful bad press EA has gotten nonstop the last month or so. i think its possible for Bungie to dig itself out of the hole they put themselves in. its not going to be super easy, but i think they can do it. You know more about the Destiny franchise and fanbase than i do. what do you think? | ||

I think their brand has gotten better over the years, I think 10 years ago Bobby Kotick cared more about the bottom line, the internet HATED him 10 years ago, now he values happy communities and player engagement more than anything, which I think is good. I disagree with your assessment, I think Activision and Kotick know how important talent is to their company. Granted, that doesnt mean no one ever gets laid off or fired. i think its possible for Bungie to dig itself out of the hole they put themselves in. its not going to be super easy, but i think they can do it. Its for sure possible, Bungie still has a tremendous legacy and fanbase. They need to stop keeping everything so close to their chest. Like I think DTG had a great point yesterday, the game has been out for like 3 months and theres been close to no quality of life changes or even talking about it. I think thats a dangerous thing to have when they're constantly also having to sell DLC and expansions. Theres been kind of this meme in the Destiny community where like, because everything is 2 steps forward, 1 step back, there's always, this addon/sequel is "Destiny 1.0/Destiny 1.5" because theres always a big chunk missing. Obviously a focus of D2 was the story, but then there are other areas where its a complete regression from D1. | ||

How do you think they "protect their brand"? true they don't today. but they did in 1991 when Kotick forked over $90 million for the name. the company had little else but its reputation left when he bought it. When Blizzard merged with Activision ... Activision was basically buying the legendary status of Blizzard's brand strength in 2008. i'm not saying they have an extremely strong brand right now. i am saying Kotick dearly values that legendary brand strength his properties have sometimes had throughout their respective histories. in 1991 Kotick paid $90 million for all those fond memories that 27 year olds in their prime earning years had of Pitfall (1982), Ice Hockey(1981), River Raid(1982) and Chopper Command(1982). no one knows better than Kotick who has money to spend... and it ain't the 16 year olds. Kotick is more than willing to spend money to "buy" reputation. | ||

Wasn't the story pretty lacking too though? Unless you're strictly talking budget lol. I also agree that it's strange there's been little in the way of small changes or QoL stuff, just discussion/trailers for the DLC and that's it. I guess there was pvp stuff but | ||
