5 Different Personalities You’ll Encounter in a Destiny Strike

Everybody plays Destiny different, so when you team up for the weekly Strike you may come across a few different personalities.

brokenbracket3082d ago

With Fallout 4 out now, no one is playing Destiny lol. Their matchmaking rooms are probably so empty right now.

ninsigma3082d ago

Actually I still play Destiny and I'll never get fallout 4. My clan mates play f4 but they stop playing in the evenings to play destiny. You couldn't be anymore wrong.

brokenbracket3073d ago

I can guarantee you their lobby numbers have dropped since the release of fallout 4. But I have nothing to prove, as I do miss Destiny at times myself. Had a bunch of great gaming session memories with Destiny. But I've since moved on. But game on brother.

ninsigma3073d ago

Talk about late reply xD
Yeah no doubt numbers dropped. I mean halo, blops, tr, fallout and battlefront. That's crazy competition. But not empty xD They have a large active user base still which is really great.
Destiny is great for memorable moments if you have a team of people to play with. I don't game locally with friends anymore, cuz ya know, growing up and all that, and destiny has provided me with some great times with people I met from a clan I joined. It's like having those awesome gaming sessions when I was younger again. Decided to take a break from it though for a while. We've all burnt ourselves out from over playing the game so I'll wait till the next expansion if not before that to jump back on. It's all about tr and bloodborne right now but destiny has given me new online friend and we have a chat set up outside of the game so we play other games too, it's awesome. It's stuff like that, that makes me love gaming. Coming onto sites like this makes you forget that there actually is a great community out there!

Speech over xD

UnHoly_One3082d ago

I hate the speed runners.

It's like they don't understand that all the regular enemies can drop loot, too.

ABizzel13082d ago

I must say I'm a speed runner....usually, and honestly I could care less about the 90% green engram the ads drop, or the 10% chance Blue Engram.

When I do a strike it's literally to get done with a mission / bounty / quest / or marks, so I want to get it done and over, pop my 3 of coin and the boss and hope for my exotic engram.

I don't mind people staying back and clearing stuff for engrams, but I'm going to the boss, and no one should complain especially if they're back there loot farming. Be happy I didn't kill everything.

-_-

ninsigma3082d ago

Well, the whole team can benefit from everyone killing everything because when you're officially part of a fire team (not randomly coming across someone during patrol or whatever) you have a chance of getting drops from your team mates kills. But other than that I agree. If you're doing matchmaking then you're more than likely not sticking around long.

Volkama3082d ago

Can't say personalities stand out to me, since they all stay muted regardless. Online gaming (with strangers) is usually better that way.

ninsigma3082d ago

Yeah no one uses the mikes during matchmaking. Tbh you don't really need it anyway. It's not like the strikes are very hard.

Sparticus_13082d ago

I put in over 1300 hours on destiny....I will not spend anymore money on the taken king and they make the game unplayable without buying the new content....destiny is dead to me.....

TM3333082d ago

Do people still play this game?:/

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_Slaughter331d ago

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

LucasRuinedChildhood331d ago (Edited 331d 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-ro331d ago (Edited 331d 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.

Sonic1881331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

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

Kurt Russell331d 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.

buffig331d ago

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

anast331d ago

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

CantThinkOfAUsername331d ago (Edited 331d ago )

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

z2g331d 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.

spicelicka331d 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...

CobraKai482d 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.

jeromeface481d ago

prob because 2 is a grindfest slog

spoonard479d ago

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