I ran into a second group of level ?? During the beta and had only found the one closer to initial spawn in Alpha. I'm not sure if there was a connecting tunnel or not as 2 huge armored level ?? disapproved of me spying on them. I forgot where they were though as just sort of found them on accident in an area I had apparently missed during Alpha.

Think it was down the tunnel that the Strike entrance (3 part waves--Hive vs Fallen) is but I don't remember them in Alpha which is strange. I could be wrong however.

XtraTrstrL3567d ago

Yup, I didn't even have to click the link to know what they were talking about. Those weird troll aliens with the giant club-wielding one, and you can't do a thing to their HP.

KwietStorm_BLM3567d ago

That's what I came here to say. I ran into some leader underground who one shotted me, so I said nope and never returned.

Paul_JC3567d ago (Edited 3567d ago )

What I didnt find in the Alpha that I found in the Beta was a Level ?? Fallen Dreg in some random cave haha

Yeah this was in the alpha also... In the very very beginning part too.. at least the first time I found them. almost immediately from the insertion point on the "Cosmodrone" you can go down these stairs into a tunnel..

I found them randomly in the alpha and messed with them.. I went to the same place in the beta and there they were.

Didn't even mess with them.

Some were normal types like a Wizard and Acolytes with just ??.. but in another area I stumbled across a room full of Hallowed Knights that had yellow ??

it was crazy.

but I wouldn't call them hidden... we are simply not mean't to go that way...

ValKilmer3567d ago

I've dedicated my life to beating them.

I've been running up stairs and eating a lot of raw eggs.

Que montage music...

Menkyo3567d ago

Nah its the eye of the tiger to the end of the fight......

Ripsta7th3567d ago

I went all the way to the top of a mountain and found a cave where theres a captain idk what but every shot he took was resisted . ran outta there as soon as i could

GusBricker3567d ago

The one where you have to double jump off the wing of a plane?

You can kill that guy. There's a chest up there, too.

Majin-vegeta3567d ago

If they have a ? on top of them it means you're level is too weak and your weapons wont do crap to them.

The_Sneauxman3567d ago

No. It means they are invincible. No matter your level you will only do 1 damage. It's the betas way of saying, "wrong way, kid"

millerj27403567d ago

I killed some lvl 11 fallen in the forgotten shore with my lvl 7 hunter earlier. When I went back to them with my lvl 4 titan they had ??. I wont presume to know for sure, but I think majin might be right. Its possible some of those enemies will always have that ?? Because of the Beta lvl cap.

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_Slaughter330d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood330d ago (Edited 330d 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-ro330d ago (Edited 330d 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.

Sonic1881330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

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

Kurt Russell329d 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.

buffig330d ago

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

anast330d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername330d ago (Edited 330d ago )

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

z2g330d 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.

spicelicka330d 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...

CobraKai481d 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.

jeromeface480d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard478d ago

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