Destiny: Changes Might Be Done In Upcoming Patches

It been a while, Destiny is out and player who love the Shooting and Action games, really like it and give a positive response. However the games review form the high-rated sites are not much as good as we have thought.

I really hope that they fix the single player matching.

WombBat3535d ago (Edited 3535d ago )

I really hope they fix multiplayer.

the scoped weapons are underpowered.

The scout rifle is too slow to kill anybody in a 1v1, not to mention just weak in general.

the sniper rifle is slow as well and has no crosshair unless scoped in. I see they are trying to copy COD in that respect instead of sticking to their halo style.

The super is a horrible game play mechanic for multiplayer as well.

the auto rifle is hella overpowered and kills too quickly. One thing that made halo great is if someone shot you, you had a chance of surviving by thinking fast and challenge the opponent or find a good exit. This game eliminated that.

the game has potential but at this point, its just a scifi cod clone.

TheXgamerLive3535d ago

They cant patch that its not open worlds like they talked it would be.

Palitera3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

1. The title is misleading. It is a wish list for changes, nothing more than that.

2. "Matchmaking: Strike matchmaking seems to be rather balanced. PvP not so much. I haven’t done a Raid yet so I can’t say, but PvP being better balanced like a Strike would be good."

Raid matchmaking, heh? The guys know nothing about the game.

Control matches taking 15-20 minutes? Were you playing 1x1?
People playing control as if it was TDM? My games are pretty much the opposite.
etc etc etc.

Anyways... Pure garbage and site blacklisted on the ad blocker.

pompombrum3536d ago

The whole people playing control as TDM while not completely true, the way the scoring works makes it possible to play it as TDM and actually win without holding any points from kills alone. Same with Salvage, me and my friends came up against a team who seemed to always get the points before us yet we won simply because we got the most kills. I think the way the scoring works needs tweaking slightly so it's more objective based than kill based.

Palitera3536d ago

I think the score systems are very nice. Always can be improved, sure, but the major problem is that it seems the majority of the people don't actually know how it works...

Salvage, for instance... People rush to dominate the salvage points, but they don't know that the opposite team will earn lots of points if they destroy your probe.

wsoutlaw873536d ago

if you dont hold the control points at all you would have to get 3x the number of kills i believe. If you get 3x the kills then the other team deserves to lose. I actually really like how controle plays and is more fun than battlefield where it becomes a game where the winner is who ever can get to the control point no one is defending fast enough. The game should still be about trying to kill/ not get killed at the same time.

From everything the person who wrote this said, it doesnt seem like they really know much about the online. I hate when someone plays a few matches then starts asking for changes because they get killed or it is diferent than the other stuff they played. Its not supposed to be just like cod or any other game, because thats what those other games are for. Also the part about the market, you do get different values for dismantling different guns, so basicly you are just asking for more money, which really isnt needed. I always have plenty of money after any mission or crucible match.

InTheZoneAC3536d ago

Man, I always wondered how changes happened...now I know, patches!

wsoutlaw873536d ago

lol thats exactly what I thought when I saw the title. Now I know what patches do.

Muzikguy3536d ago

I'm having a hard time just reading that first paragraph. Also, people can love action and shooting games but still not like Destiny. This is a garbage article

Pintheshadows3536d ago

I expected to click and find it translated, but it isn't. All of it is like that.

Muzikguy3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

It's tough, like it was written by a 5th grader or someone that can't keep a constant thought going. They can keep trying... Clickbait will continue I suppose

wsoutlaw873536d ago

ya this is not really an article, its basicly a forum wishlist with a title pretending to be an article.

pompombrum3536d ago

Biggest changes I want are for bosses in level 20+ strikes to drop stuff, nerf the drop rate on mobs so that farming mobs isn't the optimal way to gear up and most importantly, to take away bonuses on gear in cruicible.. this one is the big major one for me because the exotic bonuses are ridiculous on a lot of the gear and I don't want someone beating me in cruicible because he has an exotic weapon and I don't.

InTheZoneAC3536d ago

weapon bonuses in crucible give it much more needed variety, leave it alone.

pompombrum3536d ago (Edited 3536d ago )

Reduced recoil on auto rifle isn't needed variety, that's just stupidly OP.

wsoutlaw873536d ago

I agree that they give variety and like how it is. It makes the players you are playing against different and is the first time that I really remember an opponent while I'm playing them. Me and my friends will mention, watch out for that guys auto rifle and stuff like that. Hey i got mad too when I got 1 shoted from a fair distance by some lvl 24 kids shotgun when I was a level 17 over and over, but thats kind of the point. That pvp is a carry over from pve. Ya you die, but who cares. It makes the game as a whole, a better experience, especially with how quick it is to level up and get new guns. Dont worry you will get better gear and care a whole lot less.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter361d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell360d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig361d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast361d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername361d ago (Edited 361d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g361d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka361d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I've been thinking about playing through D1 again before it goes away...

CobraKai512d ago

That’s the sad reality of a game like this. I bought it, invested lots of money, and it can go away at anytime. I still think this was more fun than 2.

jeromeface511d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard508d ago

That's the bummer of 'games as a service'.
