Wow. I was more correct than I thought, Bungie really did take away far more from Destiny than they expanded in a bid to force people to buy their shit-tier DLC. Read [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-The-Taken-King/en/News/News?aid=13546]09-15-2015 Destiny: The Taken King[/url] for all the info. But let's get on to some of the finer points: [b][u]General[/b][/u] [b]Character:[/b] * Max level cap is now 40 (Requires The Taken King [but we knew about this -blam!-ing since last week]) [so, if you don't buy, you're forever stuck at level 34. More on all that has been removed from you will be listed below...] * Even if you're a Y1 "Founder", the "founder's Fortune" reward [b](Requires The Taken King)[/b]. So, if you've been here since day 1, but didn't buy TTK, Bungie has nothing but a huge middle finger that they're going to shove up your butthole. You time isn't worth shit to Bungie if you don't give them more money. *Spark of Light - ... I won't even crawl into the bullshit of this one. Needless to say, it (Requires The Taken King) *I swear, that follows after most every -blam!-ing line in their change to this game...* [b][u]Classes[/b][/u] [b]Subclasses:[/b] * Your "new sub-Class", you know, the one that's had an empty slot reserved and present in the game since the Alpha? Yeah... (Requires The Taken King) [b][u]Activities[/b][/u] [b]Vanguard Strike Play Lists[/b] *All of the Strike playlists have been removed. If you don't buy TTK, you're left with one (1) Strike playlist to enjoy. That's it. Just one (1). *The Legacy Strikes don't even reward you with Legendary Marks. Nope. The [b](requires The Taken King)[/b] [b]Daily Heroic Missions[/b] * Required Level: 40 * (Requires The Taken King) I'll bet you saw that coming by now. Still, for those people who liked to do the regular missions on a slightly tougher level, it's gone. Locked behind the pay-wall. So, that's more content gone. [b]Nightfall[/b] * discussed in-depth over the last two to three weeks, Bungie has -blam!-ed you out of yet more content that you already paid for. Needless to say, but I will anyway: "I -blam!-ing told you so, haters." [b][u]Crucible[/b][/u] Here's where it gets really good... * Year 2 Crucible is now in effect. * Remember all of those different play lists that the PvP crowd [u]used[/u] [u]to[/u] [u]enjoy?[/u] (Requires The Taken King) Surpised? I don't know why you would be at this point... * Year 1 players who don't buy TTK are left with only three (3) play lists. "Classic 6v6, Classic 3v3, and a Classic FFA (Free For All). That's it. * No Control, No Clash, Skirmish, Salvage, Rumble, or Elimination. All of those (Requires The Taken King). So... did you leave [u]anything[/u] to Gamers who won't buy TTK, Bungie!? Answer: No. You left a hollow shell of a game in order to force people into buying your content lacking DLC. Now; there will be some people who'll look at this list and see it as "look at how much Bungie is offering with TTK, Vampire!!! You're insane for making Bungie's butthole's collectively pucker with your incessant ranting!" However; aside from a pathetically small Campaign, The Court of Oryx (which is where the [b]real[/b] Elitism will begin), and an armory that is three-times smaller than what they took out from the Base Game, TDB, and HoW; all of these things [b]WERE ALREADY IN THE GAME!!![/b] They just took away most everything in the game (easily two-thirds of the base-game and DLC content that you've already paid for has been ripped away from you) and placed it all behind a new pay-wall. All of this was already there. You've already paid for it. They took away content that you were enjoying all the way up to yesterday, and stuck it behind a pay-wall. You must pay more money to enjoy 2/3's of the game that you've been enjoying for the last [b]YEAR[/b]. Anyone want to doubt me now on how badly Bungie has been -blam!-ing over all of their Gamers? Because I've been warning everyone for quite some time now. As have great members of this community like CarnivalLaw, Malphisto, Lost Sols, N7, Mortargrunt06, and the list goes on. We've tried to educate you and warn you all. Our eyes have not been clouded by Bungie's fog of lies and trailer-hype. We've tried to get the word out, and now everything we've warned you all about has become all too true. Here's my contributions to trying to warn you all before this travesty arrived: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/151304767/0/0]Bungie; Shrinking Destiny one DLC at a time.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/152464390/0/0]Weapon Imbalance 2.0 is an abject failure.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/149031707/0/0]Lies, Hypocrisy, no Accountability; the Bungie Mission Statement.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/145589175/0/0]Urk explains the TTK pricetag.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/144107620/0/0]Destiny, The Taken Wallet, and GameInformer.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/127526404/0/0]Bungie is forcing their revenue streams to leave Destiny.[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/126951271/0/0]Isn't it funny how much equipment was removed in these "expansions"?[/url] And I could dig even further back into even more archived threads I've made trying to warn everyone. If I included the threads of the other Forum members that I've mentioned, this list would go on for [b]days.[/b] But The Taken King is here. The game and activities you've already paid for ha had 2/3 of it's content eviscerated and disemboweled, then put behind a pay wall that you have to shell out another $40 USD to enjoy that content (that you've already paid for). Bungie has taken Destiny and turned it into an ocean a thousand miles wide, yet only a foot deep. When will you all see what Bungie is doing? When/what will be "the straw that breaks the camel's back"? How long will you accept consumer abuses that are being heaped upon you in this manner? Think on that, and discuss it below. Sincerely trying to educate the Gamers around me, Vampire Nox
