Destiny Class Tuning - December Update

Bungie are planning to overhaul all three Titan subclasses in Destiny. To address the dominant Sunbreaker Titan class, the update will weaken Sunbreakers and power up the Defender and Striker classes.

So much for my reign of fire...

And it took them how long to nerf them despite the fact they should have never made it past testing phase in their current form as it was. Bungie have done a fantastic job with TTK but these changes should have came like 2 months ago.

GearSkiN3096d ago

youd think they would have seen how OP it was before releasing

emad-E-three3096d ago

You listen and that's good but for all the Titans they are now feeling betrayed... Do you even test the things you build Bungie?! Or do you have testers at all!

Anyways im happy with this news to be honest, you can't have a full health regeneration with every kill + around 7 hammers thrown + a shield over the full health with kills + every hammer hit is a confirmed kill + explosive hammers on impact + high damage resistance while super is on!! Like seriously You Just CAN'T!

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.

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

LucasRuinedChildhood364d ago (Edited 364d 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-ro364d ago (Edited 364d 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.

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

Kurt Russell363d 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.

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

anast364d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername364d ago (Edited 364d ago )

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

z2g363d 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.

spicelicka363d 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...

CobraKai515d 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.

jeromeface514d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard511d ago

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