It's been 4 years. Its a done deal. Time to move on.

The only reason you’ve thought to make this post, is because an article came out, covering it. I miss nothing except some of the maps that were removed (PvP). I cannot fathom yearning to patrol IO, or any number other locations I cannot even recall at this time.

People still kick this dead horse??

Hopefully, most people understand they bought access to a game that evolves over time (things get added, changed and removed). There’s a responsibility for Bungie to clearly communicate that (which, from my perspective, they have done) and there’s also a responsibility for players to check what they’re actually buying.

[quote]What is the general consensus with the content Vault Now? At the time it seems the majority of the player base was not happy about it but understood it to a certain extent, I was one one. But now, it's clear that nearly everyone (what's left anyways) feels it was unjustified to remove so much content. Especially main campaigns and most destinations. Shouldn't it be considered at least to be somewhat... illegal? I mean we paid good money for that content, especially for the stories. Which was then removed, we paid for something. Then they took it back... I would like to go back and replay the old campaigns but of course I can't. For example, you buy a story game, let's say Soma. You play the story once, then Frictional games take the game back and you can't play it ever again and they keep your money even though you paid for the game to KEEP said game. My point is to this- Where is all the blowback? Yes there are some but not a lot, do people just not care that there were so -blam!- robbed? Hundreds, [b] HUNDREDS [/b] of dollars stolen per person. And they got away with it, somehow. What's the point of buying Final Shape if they can just remove it with no consequence.[/quote] Really? That's strange you think bungie stole anything from me. How did they steal 100s of dollars when I've had no money stolen? What delusions does one suffer from to conclude this or is I tf just plain old stupidity? You paid money for the content and agreed that it can be taken away. Seriously what type of mindset does one have that agrees to something then complains it's wrong?

I’d rather have my file size be smaller than have a bunch of content in the game that like four people utilize. I miss some of the strikes, but that’s about it. The Y1 patrol zones (including the ones still in game) were barren ghost towns because they were designed for an almost entirely different game. The old raids had woefully inadequate loot compared to the newer ones. Serviceable loot has returned with refreshed perks. If they had jumped over to D3, you wouldn’t be playing any of the vaulted content right now either. It’s such a petty argument.

Digital owner ship. Personnel ppl should care, especially with company's lobbies the government. All tech companies have data about you, an it doesn't belong to you, this precedence is what set the stage for what we have today, where you as the consumer doesn't own a digital item when bought, an the tech company can just remove. There's going to he a big chance I'm this in the next few years, I'm starting to sew it now as a tech guy, ppl are getting annoyed buy this. Digital or physical you bought it it's your, removing it is theft.

You really need to let things go, especially if there’s nothing you can actually do about it, it’s not good for your health. I’m not exactly thrilled about it either but it’s not worth being stressed and pissed off about. I looked at it this way, I pay 100 to play whatever content they have available that yr. I play D2 on and off all yr because I can always find something to do to kill time. Other games I play for 20 hrs and don’t touch it again until maybe a month before the sequel comes out. So to me D2 will always be worth the money even if they take things away I enjoyed. Are they lying about taking content away to make room for new stuff ? Possibly. But until I find a game I enjoy as much as Destiny I choose to accept their reasoning and move on with my day.

Did it take daddy aztecross to make a video about it to put it back in your memory? Welcome to the club. You’re years late.

Soma was awesome.

-Core playlist (strikes-pvp-gambit maps) -Raids -all story missions (adventures) -dungeons and exotic missions Must stay at all cost. No more seasonal activities i hate them all (İf new weapon needs red border farm put the process inside coreplaylist)

I want the strikes, planets and raids back. F**k the story who cares!

While I wish it wouldn't have taken so many people so long to realize it's a scam - I'm glad people have came around. The one thing you can trust about the DCV - Bungie removed that content so they could sell it to veterans again & have easy "new" content to add to the game for newer players.

Bungie removed the 'bloat' to give us things like Neomuna. Are you not entertained!

Bungie can't even claim it helped with updating and maintaining the game when the game has been buggier than ever and downtime for even minor hotfixes went from 15 minutes to 2 hours. [quote]But now, it's clear that nearly everyone (what's left anyways) feels it was unjustified to remove so much content. Especially main campaigns and most destinations.[/quote] It was to squeeze new players of money so they can feel some semblance of a game experience. Any other "technical limitation" was more so due to laziness and cutting corners of updating older content to newer versions of their engine.

At the moment its not illegal for Bungie to do, it has however been to their detriment in the long run. [quote]My point is to this- Where is all the blowback?[/quote] There is no blowback because the players became apathetic and left. Bungie is desperately grasping at monetisation because they burn through cash so fast and they are hedging their bets on TFS and Marathon. [quote]What's the point of buying Final Shape if they can just remove it with no consequence.[/quote] They have stated they will no longer remove expansion content but this just feeds more into the lie that was the DCV. Game gets to big so they cut a lot of content but suddenly with Lightfall they are no longer doing that so how did they solve the issue of "the game getting too big"? Its pretty obvious the writing on the wall that they are very likely not doing anymore expansions after TFS.
