Very cool of Bungie to do.

joab7773460d ago

That is very cool. But my doc told me the same thing. Go home, rest and play Destiny.

Seraphim3460d ago

I'm trying to get my Dr to tell me that. Unfortunately when I told him work is becoming more painful and intolerable all he did was ask if I was going to quit my job LOL

DarthZoolu3459d ago

Did the doctor say which console he should play on?

This just proves the DLC is locked away on disk, & should be available for those who bought the game

FamilyGuy3454d ago

Turns out the Vision of Confluence IS attainable already as an extremely rare, random reward in The Crucible.

jahfen833459d ago

That gun looks just like the Stranger's rifle *disappointed

ChronoJoe3459d ago

Shame the gun itself appears quite awful.

ChronoJoe3459d ago (Edited 3459d ago )

Really? A new troll account and you're already losing bubbles within 3 posts? Why bother?

Also the gun is awful because it's a 7 shot scout rifle, it has high impact but not as high as revolers, and its
idiosyncrasy only really benefits those that aren't very accurate.

I like Destiny a lot, and scout rifles are my go-to, but that doesn't mean it's easy to a use for this one.

not really I know another guy who has it showed it to me and everything. it's not really that good either.

KwietStorm_BLM3460d ago

Are you certain it's this gun? If it came straight from Bungie, how could someone else have it?

Themba763460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

they actually had it available the first week the game was out then they took the gun out the game. he got lucky the first week.

martinezjesus19933460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

Its a dlc weapon, so unless he has the dlc a month before everyone else or works with Bungie I HIGHLY doubt youre saying the truth right now

BlackWolf123460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

WRONG. Don't believe everything you read on the internets kid. The guy said "it looks like" but it isn't. It is only obtainable from the Trials of Osiris, a special Crucible event that Bungie have not shown us as of yet. Not DLC. It's a similar event as Iron Banner essentially.

But thanks for playing.

BX813460d ago

@blackwolf
You know you suck when you can't even be a dick correctly.

Themba763460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

no I didn't beleive him either till he showed it to me. he got lucky the first week the game came out it was available as a bounty then they took the gun out the game for some strange reason.

Palitera3460d ago

It is not good at all!
Seriously, scout rifle with a 7 ammo magazine?

Unless it has perfect and new hidden upgrades, I call it ascendant energy.

CorndogBurglar3460d ago

Its a primary with solar damage though. I dont care if it only holds 7 rounds, that solar damage on a primary would really help with Nightfall Strikes.

lipton1013460d ago

Vision of confluence also has solar damage with full auto and a 27 round mag. I bet it has an auto reload upon kill type perk attached like bad juju, a pulse rifle with only 15 in mag

FamilyGuy3460d ago

@ Corndog

There's already a primary weapon in the game currently that is better than this one that also has Solar damage. It's called the Vex Mythocast and a lot of people have it. I actually have two of them.

It's a fusion rifle (in the primary weapon slot) that fires like an auto rifle.

n4rc3460d ago

Yup.. Love my vex..

Something like 60 round clips of full auto solar goodness lol.. Wizards don't stand a chance

FamilyGuy3460d ago

Your friend happen to have a hacked PS3 or 360?
That's the only other way I could see someone getting one.

Nitrowolf23459d ago

I find that hard to believe, considering that the Bounty requires you to purchase coins and compete in an event that hasn't gone live yet

Unless he's playing on PS3, or xbox 360, as stated above, the only way to get it atm is through hacking I believe

starrman19853459d ago

It's awarded from an exotic bounty that is currently not in game... so I'm fairly sure you're either lying, or he is.

Either way, it's a nice gesture from Bungie! (does also kind of prove that content is hidden away from our greedy grasps!)

Geez - I'm already over Destiny. The game was a big let down

princejb1343460d ago

Sold mines to. I liked the game a little but the constant playing the same missions over and over for loot was annoying

MysticStrummer3460d ago

Geez - Not everyone thinks like you.

PlayableGamez3460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

Destiny was a terrible game.

-Awful and short Campaign
-Awful story(you have to rely on sources outside of the game to understand what Destiny is about)
-Grinding is ridiculous and gets old fast
-On disk DLC
-Broken loot system (have to rely on caves and basements to farm for good loot)
-Broken random-generated reward system(the worst player on a team could have a better reward than the best player)
-No trading
-Forgettable characters
-Repetitive missions
-Poor mission design the missions almost reminds me of Gears Of War: Judgment missions
-No in game chat
-Unbalance and casual friendly multiplayer
-Unbalance classes
-Unnecessary online requirement
-One hit kill weapons
-Pointless ships that are loading screens
-Complicated leveling system

I don't know how people up to this point still enjoy this game. After everything I just listed, that would sum up the worst game to ever come from Bungie. I enjoy other games that I thought were mediocre more than Destiny this year. I just hope Destiny 2 or whatever that is, to be a better game.

MysticStrummer3459d ago

Not everyone thinks like you either. Get over it.

Halo2ODST23459d ago

I think the agree/disagree ratio disagrees with you

MysticStrummer3459d ago

@Halo - Then your logic is highly flawed. "Everyone" would encompass all those who have played Destiny, not just those on N4G and certainly not just those who happened to read my comment and hit agree or disagree.

DafunkyRebel3460d ago (Edited 3460d ago )

wait a minute I have that gun in my storage vault thing....I think

Ethereal3460d ago

Very cool. This gun can only be obtained by participating in the Trials of Osiris. They have yet to hold this event. He should be the only one that has it.

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_Slaughter334d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood334d ago (Edited 334d 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-ro334d ago (Edited 334d 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.

Sonic1881334d ago (Edited 334d ago )

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

Kurt Russell333d 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.

buffig334d ago

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

anast334d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername334d ago (Edited 334d ago )

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

z2g334d 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.

spicelicka334d 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...

CobraKai485d 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.

jeromeface484d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard482d ago

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