Space combat mini-game.

That is all.

Move along.

Don't call it a mini-game, Cody won't like it, no matter how much fun the rest of us have.

I don't log on late at night just to troll everyone; I only play after my son is asleep because he's 2.5 and his mind is not ready to process the pretend monsters of Destiny.

I don't make crazy ludicrous demands; I REQUESTED your help the other night with Oryx-Heroic, to which you declined, and I said "OK". I didn't throw a fit and whine "why don't you play with me?!"

Did the masks HAVE to go away? No, absolutely not. But they did, and it wasn't your decision (which is probably the source of the problem), but you know what; they'll probably come back next halloween and be just as temporary, and just as fun. Probably MORE fun than if they had been around ALL FREEKIN YEAR. (even though they still CAN be around all yea, in Legendary form).

Does the SRL have to go away? NOPE. And for all we know, the three week event could turn into a more frequently recurring event, more than once a year. Do you complain about IB not being a permanent thing? (I'm actually asking, I don't know your stance on it). Or Trials? Why isn't THAT always here? Why just the weekends?

Because if you had everything at your fingertips all the time, it wouldn't be long before you didn't like ANY of it. But I can tell that you're a personality who won't believe a statement like that until you experience it for yourself...so good luck with that.

Well, the event included instructions to make some real life masks, so there's that. :)

I made one, but it crumpled into a wad of paper after two weeks . . .

My point still stands: Playstation exclusives have been exclusively paired with expansions (Crota's End, House of Wolves, Taken King), until now. I forgot to include the launch of the game in my previous post, but that's irrelevant and should be obvious. The inclusion of exclusive content with these "freebies" may indicate a change in how content is delivered for this game. The traditional paid DLC release may not resemble what it did in year 1.

It's an interesting point. A few thoughts come to mind:

- This is the first instance of exclusive content being attached to free content, isn't it? I'll certainly take note if this become a trend.

- With the addition of micro transactions, I'd think the shape of future paid content is very much up in the air right now. (At least for our point of view) I can imagine a future where the next paid content is initially a good deal smaller than The Taken King, and more like House of Wolves, but is far better supported. Like, what if we got a new Destination (Io, Old Chicago, whatever) and a House of Wolves length story but new missions and quests kept popping up over the next two months? Perhaps a smaller initial batch of content could be made to feel much more substantial if it seemed to just keep going and going?

- One of my older arguments against Playstation exclusives is: I don't like paying the same amount of money as a Playstation player but getting less content. Something like the Undying Mind strike is a good example. Sure, I have it now, but why did my $60 not get it for a year when the Playstation user's $60 did? That sort of thing. It'd be interesting if Bungie has found a way around some sort of "There must be x amount of Playstation exclusives per year" clause by attaching the exclusive content to free events and releases. That way, we'd all get the same amount of content when we spend money.

I was actually trying to respond to you in good faith and express a sincere idea, but clearly I forgot who I was talking to.

Come on, there's no need for this. :(

The entire point being made by one side participating in that thread is that none of us really know Bungie's future plans. You certainly don't. So your "I told you so" is the second stupidest, most petty thing I've seen posted this week. Please never reply to me again.

My original post was about wanting meatier content. Your entire reply was about how you doubted stuff like this slows the next expansion, and that you were nearly perfectly sure about what's being worked on. You're undermining your own premise with the "no one knows" when you were just 99.999% certain. You sure changed that tune quickly! Oh, I'm Pot (aka idiot), btw. Nice to meet you.

If we don't get another expansion, what makes you so certain that it'll be because of these events? Maybe Bungie decided that it'd be smarter to have everyone focusing on Destiny 2, with a smaller team working on stuff like this so we have a few new diversions?

I'm am 100% sure they're working on new substantial content in one form or another. His point was that these events aren't the cause of us possibility not getting HoW sized DLC. For anyone to say so is asinine, unless that person works at Bungie and knows the plan.

I said: "It is 99.999% certain they are working on new story content and it isn't ready yet."

Do you believe that The Taken King was the last of Destiny's story content ever?
Do you believe that Bungie has finished new story content but for some reason isn't releasing it?
If so, then you have a point. If not...

Now, once again I'll request that you please stop. That you please leave me alone. That you please go bother someone else. I feel you are both twisting my words and meanings and being unkind for no good reason and I want nothing more to do with it or you.
