haha I could never play it on hard.

DirtyMagician3452d ago (Edited 3452d ago )

The new level cap will be 32 though, so I don't see how this is right.

It seems logical to start the normal raid at 28 and the hard raid at 32. That would be the same 4 level gap like we have now and accommodates the new level cap.

ThatOneRiggaNob3452d ago

That's what I thought. Normal should've been 28 and 32 should've been hard. Seems way more logical that way. I also guess making the normal the previous max lvl makes the VoG all that more important too. So I see it from both sides I guess.

HeavenlySnipes3452d ago

The normal raid has been confirmed to start at level 30

Battlefieldlover3452d ago

@optimisticprime. Ummm, Luke smith,Bungie staff member.

JeffGUNZ3452d ago

It's a bad move from bungie. Instead of rewarding players for mastering the VoG, they make the hard mode for the next raid level 33. How is that even remotely fair when the highest players can get is to level 32.

GiggMan3452d ago (Edited 3452d ago )

I can see the normal starting at 30. For some reason 33 for the hard raid just sounds stupid and is probably a rumor.

Every other event in destiny, nightfall,(28) heroic,(22 - 28) and VoG (28 & 30) are all even numbers.

The level cap now is 30 and so is the hard raid. I'm guessing the new hard raid would be the new level cap.

Seraphim3452d ago (Edited 3452d ago )

that was my logic..... though if they're making Light lvl Gear 32 more accessible then maybe. Even then it's tough beating the lvl 30 Vault @ 29 unless you have a squad of dam good players.... Regardless it seems illogical and it would be nice to see a set standard here regarding expansions and Raid lvls. Why go from a lvl Cap 30 w/ a lvl 26 and 30 Raid to what is suggested here? Guess with gear being more accessible they're comfortable everyone can hit lvl cap easily and a lvl 33 Raid will provide plenty challenge for Raid Parties until the House of Wolves?

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_Slaughter351d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood351d ago (Edited 351d 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-ro351d ago (Edited 351d 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 Russell350d 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.

buffig351d ago

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

anast351d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername351d ago (Edited 351d ago )

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

z2g351d 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.

spicelicka351d 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...

CobraKai502d 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.

jeromeface501d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard498d ago

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