<title>^ That is why. (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My point was that the exclusives are just a technical problem that can be overcome, the larger hurdle consists of the contractual obligations the platforms hold Bungie to.</p>

<title>^ Same.  It&#039;s a marketing/legal problem. (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I really think it's that type of problem, too. However, I think the executives and marketing departments are missing the truth of the situation. Cross-platform multiplayer seems to me like it would probably drive sales on both consoles because people who have one console currently have no ability to play any games with their friends who have the other (assuming all parties only have a single console). Imagine if Destiny pioneered true cross-platform multiplayer. Even gamers who weren't absolutely enthralled by Destiny's gameplay would be drawn in by the fact that they could play with <strong>all</strong> of their friends. It would be unique on the market for a while, helping to drive up its install base and create dedicated fans for future installments. I wouldn't expect that more copies of Destiny would be sold to people who are willing to buy the game on two separate consoles to play with two different subsets of their friends than the number of potential new buyers who would jump on the ability to play cross-platform because no other game has that. </p>
<p>What do I know though? I just would love to see that happen so that I can play with all of my friends who decided to get Playstations (which is all of my friends except one). :P</p>

<title>Then why did you assert it was a technical problem? (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My take is that technical problems exist, but they are solvable. They won't get solved because of marketing/legal reasons.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><blockquote><p>Perhaps you could auto equip a non-exclusive, if they don't have one give them a khvostov, if their inventory is full of exclusives prompt them to delete one before they can play</p>
</blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><p><br />
I don't particularly like this solution. You would be hindered for buying two copies of the game, since you'd have no way to separate the accounts (barring providing yet another e-mail to Bungie).</p>
</blockquote><p>I think I see what you're saying.  Yeah, moving from what is currently essentially two separate accounts to one account would be problematic.  I was saying that they could have done it to begin with and that the TECHNICAL problem of exclusives is solvable.</p>
<p>Add to that the fact that having purchased the game on previous gen &amp; current gen platforms is the essentially same thing as having purchased the game on two separate platforms (excluding platform exclusives of course).  Why can't you have 6 different characters, 3 for the 360 &amp; 3 for the xb1?  Same argument for PS vs XB.</p>
<blockquote><blockquote><p>(really, in this extreme edge case they're asking for problems, why the crap would you be carrying around 10 Monte Carlos?).</p>
</blockquote></blockquote><blockquote><p><br />
Don't think of it as 10 Monte Carlos, but as a combination of exclusives. A Monte Carlo, a Hawkmoon, a 4th Horseman, the new exclusive guns, etc.</p>
</blockquote><p>Yeah, but, as it is now you can only have 1 exclusive weapon equipped at any time (as they are all exotics) so this negates the combination problem of multiple exclusives across weapon types and just leaves just the 1 weapon type that has the currently equipped exclusive as the problem to deal with.</p>
<p>The only time auto-unequpping is going to be a problem is when they have all 10 slots of that type filled with exclusives.  At this point in time the primaries (if we pick the primary weapon slot as the one equipped with an exclusive) would have to be filled with Monte Carlos &amp; Hawk Moons.  Few people have 10 of these, and even fewer would have them all on the same character.  My point is that's an edge case that the vast majority of players will never encounter, and if they do it's likely because they're trying to break the platform exclusivity of the weapons.  Because it's such a rare edge case then a less-than-stellar solution should be acceptable.</p>

<title>meh, not as bad as you think... (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>They already do this with class armor -- making it so you can't equip it across classes.  This is basically the same problem.</p>
<p>If it's equipped, un-equip it and put it in your inventory, and not allow it to be equipped.  Send it to the postmaster if there's not room in your current inventory.</p>
<p>The vault would be better, if there is space, but the postmaster is probably technically the easiest, as they do that all the time with other rewards given to you and you're already full.  The only question in my mind would be if items are &quot;real&quot; items while at the postmaster, or if they're template items.  If they're templates that get really created when you receive them, that'd have to be changed.  Otherwise probably ezpz.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a vast number of possible solutions.  Admittedly it is a problem that would need to be addressed, but it's not insurmountable.</p>
<p>You could just treat all exclusive guns as if they were Khvostovs, they'd keep the exotic icon (perhaps with an X through it) and they'd just use the Khvostov gun model &amp; firing stats.</p>
<p>Perhaps you could auto equip a non-exclusive, if they don't have one give them a khvostov, if their inventory is full of exclusives prompt them to delete one before they can play (really, in this extreme edge case they're asking for problems, why the crap would you be carrying around 10 Monte Carlos?).</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I purchased my XBone for 2 reasons:<br />
1- Master Chief Collection<br />
2- Play Destiny with my old roommates &amp; bro-in-law (who ended up not buying it).</p>
<p>All in all, it's unused just sitting there getting stale.  I shouldn't have bothered with it as both major reasons ended up failing.</p>
<p>Edit:  The cheese is old and moldy.  Where is the bathroom?</p>
