Destiny 2: The New End Game - The Eververse Store & Bright Engrams - Duration: 11:12.
We've spoken a lot about incentives in Destiny 2, minimal incentives to do certain activities,
we know the problems.
The strike playlist is desolate, despite the fact that some of the best strikes that have
ever been made are in Destiny 2.
People are collecting tokens at record rates, with nothing to spend them on.
6000 Strange Coins later in Destiny 1, I had nothing to show for it other than my rank
going up, no unique emblem, nothing.
Ranks don't even exist anymore, we have regressed that much.
The raid emblem doesn't even track how many raids you've done or how many times you've
killed Calus.
There's not even a raid sparrow or ship.
And with the hot button gaming issue being microtransactions lately, thanks in part to
Battlefront 2's launch controversy, I figure it's a good time to a video I never got around
to doing.
Incentives, incentives, incentives, reasons to play.
Having my time respected.
Always progressing towards a goal, these are the things I'm looking for in Destiny or in
larger part, a long term investment game.
And to me, one of the, if not the biggest reason as to why we have minimal incentives
is due to the Eververse store.
I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone.
The big drama surrounding the Eververse Store originally was the fact that you could get
rare mods and then yeah, the whole shader thing, which we'll talk about.
I think at this point, we've come to learn that rare mods coming from Bright Engrams
basically has close to zero gameplay impact, it might technically be a pay-to-win element,
but considering you're showered in mods all the time and the main glimmer burn consists
of buying mods, I think the fuss over rare mods has gone away.
20 shaders, 30 ships, 27 sparrows, 25 ghost shells.
None of these things are earnable outside of bright engrams and yet in Destiny 1, all
of these things came from activities, although only a handful were truly sought after, not
gonna pretend that everything was amazing.
Now, I don't have any sort of issue with cosmetic microtransactions for the most part.
They're optional, fine.
My issue is that it feels like anything remotely cool or unique looking in the game that could've
potentially been a reward for doing things in the end-game has been thrown into the Eververse
store.
The end game is waiting to fill up that XP bar to see what potentially cool item you
can get from the Eververse.
That's the only time I can get excited for items now, although to be fair, when you already
have all of the raid armor, or Trials armor or whatever weapons you want, that makes sense.
Things that could've been used to incentivize doing other activities.
No raid ship or sparrow?
Guess where that probably is.
But if you think about it, this trend isn't really any different from the main game: do
anything and increase your power level.
This is literally the same thing: do anything and get rewarded and there are SOME merits
to that method, but not to people who are looking for something more.
And with the news that there is potentially an in game either bug, issue or actual deceptive
tactic with gaining XP, in which the game allegedly slows down experience gains if you
gain too much experience too quickly, that makes it feel even worse.
I say allegedly because I have not done my own research on it, but quite a few others
have.
Bungie has yet to comment on this particular topic as far as I know.
We have people with thousands of pieces of currency, Vanguard, Crucible, Raid tokens,
Gunsmith parts, legendary shards, with nothing to spend them on.
And this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but what is the harm of placing
some of these Eververse store items in the game at really high (token) prices?
The obvious answer is: to make more money.
If you hide this stuff behind a paywall, that makes money and an RNG paywall is even more
money.
And I will say that at LEAST there is bright dust with a small selection of stuff to buy
each week, sure as hell better than nothing, not to mention you get rewarded with them
every time you level, there are free ways to hit those items.
That is where the good ends.\par I seem to remember a quote about shaders,
saying that Bungie wanted to incentivize people to grind activities to get said shaders: you
want more raid shaders, you go do the raid.
Well, I want the cool looking, Eververse Vanguard shaders, how about you let me grind the strike
playlist and buy a legendary Vanguard shader for X amount of tokens per shader?
How about selling the legendary weapon foundry shaders at the gunsmith for 100 gunsmith parts
for 1 shader or something?
Something I'd like to see as well is the option to actually use all of these raid tokens that
I get, how about being able to buy a raid shader with my tokens?
Or even allowing me to buy prestige packages for 40 or 50 tokens if I have the prestige
aura?
I realize this adjustment alone isn't really going to do a whole lot to incentivize running
activities as a whole, nor would it be enough to get old players to return to the game,
but it's something small that I wouldn't mind seeing thrown into the game at some point
as a token dump.
Not to mention, I imagine as time goes on and players keep playing, something like shaders
will be negligible as a reward since people will have so many, something I think Bungie
banked on happening to negate some of the initial outrage.
Having some way of dumping tokens into unique collectable items would be cool, but again,
I dunno if that does a lot for people in terms of incentive.
It's more of a short term solution, but I just wanted to acknowledge it because I've
seen a lot of other people do so.
Now look, I get that businesses gotta business, right?
The price of a video game hasn't gone up in years, but people are trying to build bigger
and bigger gaming experiences, Bungie has probably massively expanded since launching
Destiny in order to try to keep up with player demand.
You gotta pay these people somehow, right?
So, yeah, I get the plight of the developer/publisher, not that every business practice is for the
benefit of keeping your development studios happy, let's not pretend that EVERY microtransaction
is pure in intentions.
But I can be sympathetic towards that issue and also be not sympathetic as an actual player
because the average person cares for only one thing: how good is my gaming experience
playing this game?
As a person, I am sympathetic to that problem.
As a player, it sucks seeing all of the coolest items in the game hidden
behind a paywall or an RNG loot box when some of those things used to be earned in game.
If we're going to talk about microtransactions in Destiny vs. other games,
Destiny is pretty tame. *laugh*
We've walked that pay to win line a couple of times, everything we thought might've been
pay to win didn't end up being pay to win, so that's good.
The thing that feels so bad about Destiny micros though, is that we have an incentive
problem in the game and all of the things that could maybe be used as incentives are
instead used in a store.
That is the main point I want to get across in this video.
I mentioned this in the podcast I did with Slayerage, but I honestly thought that cosmetic
rewards for end game activities was the way to go.
Bungie doesn't want Prestige Mode activities giving the highest level loot anymore, so
the only way to really reward people for doing that stuff is through cosmetic rewards, purely
cosmetic.
Prestige mode for the raid comes out, the raid armor is the same but it has a purple
glow on it and for some people, that's enough to at least grind out a full set, for some
people, that's not a good reason at all.
I imagine a good chunk of people only care about being max power.
I think if there was another set of gear for Prestige or it had raid bonuses on it, especially
considering that we'll be in the Leviathan for the next year in some form, then maybe
people would want to run it more, but if you could become a higher power level, people
would be a little more incentivized to run it, although that still doesn't solve the
problem of max power not having a lot of meaning because of a variety of things I've already
said 100 times over.
I also think a big incentive is the ability to show off your accomplishments and while
stat tracking emblems can do that to an extent, you watch RealKraftyy do Trials with his emblem
at over 500 wins, you're gonna be impressed, the biggest way of showing off in Destiny
right now from a visual perspective IS to have a cool shader set equipped.
The way I show off right now is by having a fully Monochromatic armor set on my Warlock,
although some might argue the purple glow of the prestige armor is a little show-offy
as well, which it is.
Honestly, I think one of the biggest problems with incentives is that if you're an active
player or an avid player, the game just moves you too quickly through the power rankings,
especially if you're leveling efficiently.
If you wanna look at other MMO-like, investment-like games, they move a lot slower.
They take a lot more time to max out.
But I don't know if intentionally slowing down the power leveling process in Destiny
would really do much for the game, at least if they JUST did that.
It would take a much more significant revamp to adjust for the slower rates of gear or
powering and considering how much loot is dumped on you now, I don't think people would
take kindly to lower drop rates or power gains.
So I ask you, Youtube comments, what's it going
to take to incentivize you?
What will it take to keep you playing day in and day out?
Let me know.
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.

I don't feel obliged because this is the decision I made
albeit in a moment that I felt desperate because I couldn't find work
when a person feels desperate... he doesn't know what to do
How do you feel about doing this job? Do you consider it a normal job?
In Holland yes... in Holland yes... but I wouldn't do it in another country.
There is much respect in Holland for this job
If you really want to help prostitution in your country so that it doesn't legalize,
there is a need for specific spaces suitable for these women who work...
I don't know how it works in your country, because each country is different
but prostitution can't be legalized
Here in Holland people mainly grow with the mentality of using condom
since they were kids, since they go to school they have to do with the condom.
10 years ... From 10 years old they know what a condom is, how to use it...
So everyone is accustomed to using it and...
There is someone who doesn't want to use it
So it's normal for others...
Yes yes yes, especially among foreigners, especially among foreigners...

Yes, a bit of problem

Parting Words - Jack Marshall Can't Do This - Webseries - Ep 24 - Duration: 6:37.
Woo...I just got off the phone with Arthur
and I want to punch a hundred things.
It doesn't matter what they are.
You can't find a more grating, deceitful,
technologically-handicapped person than Arthur.
You just can't. He takes the cake.
Where does that even come from?
Is that a Marie Antoinette thing?
Doesn't matter. Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
We went back and forth on the phone
and I told him that we would not be collecting
any money from the school.
I told him it was a gift and he about lost his mind.
It was hysterical.
House, I am clearly talking to myself. Go away.
Jack?
Someone to see you, sir?
Sorry.
Hey, no, um, come on in.
Thank you, House.
So, this is my room.
Is there literally a camera on you everywhere you go?
Oh, I know it appears to be that way because it is that way.
So, are you just now discovering your narcissistic tendencies?
Yeah, I like to think of it as not having any friends.
None? Not one?
Oh, um, no, I can't... I can't think of any.
So what do you do with these little movies?
Well, I watched them. Duh.
Isn't that what narcissists do?
Well, I wouldn't know.
I'm gonna have to defer to you on that one
cuz you're the narcissist expert.
I, well, I also defer to me.
So, so how has it been around here?
The last time I saw you, we, uh...
We were sharing earbuds, I do believe.
We caught your butler scheming behind your back.
Yeah, that.
Anymore like weird, uninvited guests?
Or like back-stabbing? Scandal?
No, just Arthur being Arthur.
Hey, how do you know him by the way?
It's a small town. Everybody knows everybody.
Cuz Paul didn't know you.
Oh well, I should have said everybody knows Arthur.
It's really hard not to.
Unfortunately.
You're not a narcissist, by the way, just for the record.
For the record.
For the record.
Oh, are we truth-telling now?
Yes.
Well, then in that case, it has been much
easier for me to stay in the house with you around.
Hey, listen, I don't know what you're doing for Thanksgiving
but, um, House is gonna make a turkey
and have the Macy's Day Parade on, football games,
so you're more than welcome to spend it with us
or with me.
That, that is very kind of you to offer that.
Thank you.
But...
But, well, I go home for Thanksgiving.
My family does like this Thanksgiving Eve benefit thing
and then I go to my parents for a couple days and - -
So, do you have a date or is it like a plus-one situation?
Oh, so, are you offering your services?
Is that for you?
Well, yeah, yeah.
I have to go.
I just came by to give you this.
What? No, that was a gift.
Yes, thank you for thinking of me.
That was really sweet.
But it belongs with the house. You know? It's yours.
Yeah, mine to give it to you.
Thank you but, um, I can't accept it.
I'm leaving, Jack. Before...
I wanted to give this to you in person
because I'm leaving.
For Thanksgiving.
Yeah, well maybe.
And maybe for good. I don't know.
So, where does that leave us?
It just means that we can't do whatever it is that we've been doing.
How can you say that?
Well, I mean, I'm leaving and you can't follow me - -
What if I did?
You, Jack, don't be stupid.
I'm not being stupid.
Jack!
Look my feelings for you - -
Look I haven't been entirely honest, okay?
I wasn't supposed to meet you.
I didn't know that I ever would and then I
thought if I did I wouldn't know it was you.
And, and, I was wrong.
Meredith, I don't care. Whatever - -
My name is Olivia.
I'm Olivia Armstrong.
From the will.
Why didn't you tell me?
I...I don't know. I just,
I didn't mean to mislead you.
I'm sorry about that.
So, what, you have to leave?
Or is it to get away from me? Or?
No, I'm a photographer so I have a job.
I'm leaving for that and then I have Thanksgiving.
And then after that, I don't know.
I don't know.
I just I know that I have to be away from here.
Hey, I don't know about you, but this isn't something I just do with anybody.
I know, me neither.
So, what's the problem?
Well, I'm leaving so it'll be easier.
Actually, it's gonna be harder now I have to figure out how I have to
get to this benefit.
You're kidding.
You're - you're kidding. Tell me that you're kidding.
Tell me you don't want me there.
I don't want you there.
I thought we were being honest with each other.
Look, Jack, don't do anything rash, okay?
You need to be here in this house, okay?
You need to do that for your aunt, for you.
You need to forget about me.
Well, I can't do that.
Try.
No, please take,
would you keep it? Please?

Edo G - Revolution (TCustomz Remix) **WITH LYRICS** [CC] - Duration: 2:49.
Yeah
Uh
Yo, Yeah
Uh, Edo's the last man standing
Smoke from the cannon made your whole team abandon
Fasten your seatbelt for take off and landing
The game been over cause the lead is too commanding
The smart shit, not to start shit
The whole country riding is getting me car sick
We holding money stacks and gats and shanks
is in the closets Taking money out your socks and wallets
Make bank deposits, haters is sending me love
Shooting flames through my enemy's mug
Then paint the town red in my enemy's blood
Smoke the sticky, you envy the bud cause you
pretend to be thug, nigga
Don't drink if you can't hold your liquor
You ain't on cause you been In The Basement with Tigga
I flow sicker, throw blows quicker
It shows at shows nigga
Ed O.G., Revolution, off the Richter
Yo, grab the mic Broadcast via satellite
I never seen a sadder sight
Than a nigga in the dark trying to get back the light
Like getting your assed kicked without putting up a fight
It's futuristic as star tech
And chickens wanna cling on/Klingon like Star Trek
Goals are reachable Nothing is far fetched
No applause we ain't done yet
48 bars can get your favorite stars wet
Unless we get the same privileges your favorite stars get
We on line but don't wait on-line
It's a sign of the times in the shine of the minds
If you seek you shall find
It's like the blind leading the blind Can't write without alcohol and weed in your rhyme
Start feeding your mind
Before these bullets in your head start bleeding your mind
Yeah, yo we can all shine and glisten, don't let your mind get missing
This is the time to listen, to carry on a fine tradition
In this big rap world, MC's are mixed in
Coming off the bench, like the sixth man
Now my dreams are fulfilled
But I don't sell bricks nigga, I use them to build
That's what my mama instilled so I wouldn't get killed
Now that the Boston beans are spilled let's take it to the guild
Fuck rapping
Cause the best things happen To the people
Who make the best of what happens
Without jaw flapping, scrapping
Not enough soldiers and too many captains
I got a rare gift
Plus I don't like the judge, C.O. or the bailiff
An ambulance couldn't get you there swift
Beef with us and you're bound to need an airlift

Damage 3.0! Ghouls and Eidolons! Devstream 101 Recap N Review! [Warframe] - Duration: 5:07.
Ahoy thar, Legion!
It's the Monday after a Devstream so ya know we gotta Recap N' Review for ya!
This stream was another good one, mainly focusing on three things Future Me likely already put in the title:
Damage 3.0, Ghouls, and Eidolons!
So I figure we'll go through em in that order and then the leftover one-off bits at the
end, mmkay?
Damage 3.0 is a curious beast, as it has been under the surface for a few years now and
only popping it's head above the water semi-annually.
We know they've been vocally against mandatory mods at least since September 2015,
they admitted they needed to rebalance things across the board though it was a very daunting
task mid and again late 2016,
only to abandon that entirely during the dark time period of early 2017.
But then out of the blue they did a primary weapon balance pass with Octavia's release
in March,
and then a secondary and melee throwing weapon pass with Harrow in June.
Then this devstream when they said with the release of the new damage-shifting
Warframe Khora, they are rebalancing the damage types themselves.
Basically, they are making each weapon's damage split of puncture, impact, and slash factor
in to how much damage it actually does on the proc.
Also proc themselves will now scale as currently they only apply at 30% and will go up to 90%.
I do believe that's 90% of the proc damage type and not the entire weapon's damage as
it stands now, so this will of course shake up the meta a bit.
But it will also make other weapons actually usable and status build fans quite happy.
They even hinted something might happen when you have over 100% status chance, but didn't say.
They DID say they plan to improve damage procs across all types, scaling not only the damage
but the proc effects themselves.
For example Impact staggers enemies and that's about it.
Now it'll go from one stagger, to a double stagger, to knocking them to the ground.
Another example was electric procs can stun enemies as they do now, but even turn them
into a battery and zap other enemies nearby, similar to Volt's ultimate.
I'd still like to see Serration baked into each weapon and less popular mods buffed or
merged together via Nightmare or Corrupted mods, but one step atta time.
Ghouls are on the way and aplenty!
The short version is, they pop out of the ground and bumrush you incessantly, very much
like Ghouls in Fallout 4.
Only these have flamethrowers, mines strapped to their arms, and can burrow underground
to close the distance.
DE said when you kill them they are going to share a connection the the DnD enemy of
the same name, but said it was not paralysis.
I suspect it's a stun on kill, as Reb was stunlocked for quite some time when fighting
them.
One in particular sported a two handed chainsaw that it rode into combat.
Good news there is we'll be able to USE that weapon sometime next year
I myself cannot wait to be a glorious beast and ride that headfirst into a door that doesn't open on time.
As for the Ghouls themselves, we'll be running into them sometime before Christmas.
Eidolons!
"It's bigger!!"
"It's badder!!!"
"Ladies and Gentlemen it's tooo Megalyst!!!!"
The Megalyst is not only bigger than the Teralyst, it's designed to counter the way we take *down*
the Teralyst.
Each step the Mega takes deals AoE damage, for one.
And it also has a stone sword in place of it's treestump and other new attacks to keep
us on our toes.
They also mentioned there might be an Eidolon hunt matchmaking option in the works, which'll
be helpful.
Now for the random bits!
To make Mirage's 2 work better on the plains and future landscapes, it will spawn a gift,
if Light it'll blind, Dark it'll explode.
It'll synergize with Hall of Mirrors but of course the clone'd copies will do less damage.
This sudden rework mention got folks to suspect Mirage is next up on the Prime Access list,
but Mesa still has a shot.
Sorry, Zeph.
Christmas is a big seller and Turkey frame is celebrated a month earlier.
They also mentioned the Prime Unvaulting is going to include Frost and Ember again this
year, which is a bit odd, but one more unannounced Prime will be there as well.
The Focus rework is getting a full balance pass before the upcoming respec and refund
as they are hoping this is gonna be the last time they gotta do that.
They are lowering costs across the board and bringing down the highest caps as well.
Dev workshop on it will arrive when it's close to getting done.
They want to do a full rundown on EACH sentinel and companion, from stats to abilities and
of course vacuum was talked about so a PETential 2.0 for them there, might even get the plains
bird as an option after that.
The crosshair tech is getting updated, it'll get a fancier effect to let you know when
you hit enemies
The next round of TennoGen is the biggest yet, looking to be over 30 items added so
it's taking them a bit to verify each on that list
Both the Orokin Fans melee and Tenno Shotgun are expected to arrive before the end of the year
And of course, Umbra--
will be sometime next year.
At this point I don't think anyone's surprised on that one XD
But what surprised YOU, Legion?!
Lemme know in the comments below!
I think the two handed chainsaw was my highlight of the stream.
I mean don't get me wrong Damage 3.0 is long over due...
but the idea of a chainsaw motorcycle is a bit more enticin'.
Ring the bell to stay up to date n' tap that like if this put a smile on yer face.
As always, thank-you for watchin' and catch you next time, Legion!
Take care!

albeit in a moment that I felt desperate because I couldn't find work
when a person feels desperate... he doesn't know what to do
How do you feel about doing this job? Do you consider it a normal job?
In Holland yes... in Holland yes... but I wouldn't do it in another country.
There is much respect in Holland for this job
If you really want to help prostitution in your country so that it doesn't legalize,
there is a need for specific spaces suitable for these women who work...
I don't know how it works in your country, because each country is different
but prostitution can't be legalized
Here in Holland people mainly grow with the mentality of using condom
since they were kids, since they go to school they have to do with the condom.
10 years ... From 10 years old they know what a condom is, how to use it...
So everyone is accustomed to using it and...
There is someone who doesn't want to use it
So it's normal for others...
Yes yes yes, especially among foreigners, especially among foreigners...

Destiny 2: The New End Game - The Eververse Store & Bright Engrams - Duration: 11:12.We've spoken a lot about incentives in Destiny 2, minimal incentives to do certain activities,
we know the problems.
The strike playlist is desolate, despite the fact that some of the best strikes that have
ever been made are in Destiny 2.
People are collecting tokens at record rates, with nothing to spend them on.
6000 Strange Coins later in Destiny 1, I had nothing to show for it other than my rank
going up, no unique emblem, nothing.
Ranks don't even exist anymore, we have regressed that much.
The raid emblem doesn't even track how many raids you've done or how many times you've
killed Calus.
There's not even a raid sparrow or ship.
And with the hot button gaming issue being microtransactions lately, thanks in part to
Battlefront 2's launch controversy, I figure it's a good time to a video I never got around
to doing.
Incentives, incentives, incentives, reasons to play.
Having my time respected.
Always progressing towards a goal, these are the things I'm looking for in Destiny or in
larger part, a long term investment game.
And to me, one of the, if not the biggest reason as to why we have minimal incentives
is due to the Eververse store.
I'm sure this doesn't come as a surprise to anyone.
The big drama surrounding the Eververse Store originally was the fact that you could get
rare mods and then yeah, the whole shader thing, which we'll talk about.
I think at this point, we've come to learn that rare mods coming from Bright Engrams
basically has close to zero gameplay impact, it might technically be a pay-to-win element,
but considering you're showered in mods all the time and the main glimmer burn consists
of buying mods, I think the fuss over rare mods has gone away.
20 shaders, 30 ships, 27 sparrows, 25 ghost shells.
None of these things are earnable outside of bright engrams and yet in Destiny 1, all
of these things came from activities, although only a handful were truly sought after, not
gonna pretend that everything was amazing.
Now, I don't have any sort of issue with cosmetic microtransactions for the most part.
They're optional, fine.
My issue is that it feels like anything remotely cool or unique looking in the game that could've
potentially been a reward for doing things in the end-game has been thrown into the Eververse
store.
The end game is waiting to fill up that XP bar to see what potentially cool item you
can get from the Eververse.
That's the only time I can get excited for items now, although to be fair, when you already
have all of the raid armor, or Trials armor or whatever weapons you want, that makes sense.
Things that could've been used to incentivize doing other activities.
No raid ship or sparrow?
Guess where that probably is.
But if you think about it, this trend isn't really any different from the main game: do
anything and increase your power level.
This is literally the same thing: do anything and get rewarded and there are SOME merits
to that method, but not to people who are looking for something more.
And with the news that there is potentially an in game either bug, issue or actual deceptive
tactic with gaining XP, in which the game allegedly slows down experience gains if you
gain too much experience too quickly, that makes it feel even worse.
I say allegedly because I have not done my own research on it, but quite a few others
have.
Bungie has yet to comment on this particular topic as far as I know.
We have people with thousands of pieces of currency, Vanguard, Crucible, Raid tokens,
Gunsmith parts, legendary shards, with nothing to spend them on.
And this is gonna sound like a really stupid question, but what is the harm of placing
some of these Eververse store items in the game at really high (token) prices?
The obvious answer is: to make more money.
If you hide this stuff behind a paywall, that makes money and an RNG paywall is even more
money.
And I will say that at LEAST there is bright dust with a small selection of stuff to buy
each week, sure as hell better than nothing, not to mention you get rewarded with them
every time you level, there are free ways to hit those items.
That is where the good ends.\par I seem to remember a quote about shaders,
saying that Bungie wanted to incentivize people to grind activities to get said shaders: you
want more raid shaders, you go do the raid.
Well, I want the cool looking, Eververse Vanguard shaders, how about you let me grind the strike
playlist and buy a legendary Vanguard shader for X amount of tokens per shader?
How about selling the legendary weapon foundry shaders at the gunsmith for 100 gunsmith parts
for 1 shader or something?
Something I'd like to see as well is the option to actually use all of these raid tokens that
I get, how about being able to buy a raid shader with my tokens?
Or even allowing me to buy prestige packages for 40 or 50 tokens if I have the prestige
aura?
I realize this adjustment alone isn't really going to do a whole lot to incentivize running
activities as a whole, nor would it be enough to get old players to return to the game,
but it's something small that I wouldn't mind seeing thrown into the game at some point
as a token dump.
Not to mention, I imagine as time goes on and players keep playing, something like shaders
will be negligible as a reward since people will have so many, something I think Bungie
banked on happening to negate some of the initial outrage.
Having some way of dumping tokens into unique collectable items would be cool, but again,
I dunno if that does a lot for people in terms of incentive.
It's more of a short term solution, but I just wanted to acknowledge it because I've
seen a lot of other people do so.
Now look, I get that businesses gotta business, right?
The price of a video game hasn't gone up in years, but people are trying to build bigger
and bigger gaming experiences, Bungie has probably massively expanded since launching
Destiny in order to try to keep up with player demand.
You gotta pay these people somehow, right?
So, yeah, I get the plight of the developer/publisher, not that every business practice is for the
benefit of keeping your development studios happy, let's not pretend that EVERY microtransaction
is pure in intentions.
But I can be sympathetic towards that issue and also be not sympathetic as an actual player
because the average person cares for only one thing: how good is my gaming experience
playing this game?
As a person, I am sympathetic to that problem.
As a player, it sucks seeing all of the coolest items in the game hidden
behind a paywall or an RNG loot box when some of those things used to be earned in game.
If we're going to talk about microtransactions in Destiny vs. other games,
Destiny is pretty tame. *laugh*
We've walked that pay to win line a couple of times, everything we thought might've been
pay to win didn't end up being pay to win, so that's good.
The thing that feels so bad about Destiny micros though, is that we have an incentive
problem in the game and all of the things that could maybe be used as incentives are
instead used in a store.
That is the main point I want to get across in this video.
I mentioned this in the podcast I did with Slayerage, but I honestly thought that cosmetic
rewards for end game activities was the way to go.
Bungie doesn't want Prestige Mode activities giving the highest level loot anymore, so
the only way to really reward people for doing that stuff is through cosmetic rewards, purely
cosmetic.
Prestige mode for the raid comes out, the raid armor is the same but it has a purple
glow on it and for some people, that's enough to at least grind out a full set, for some
people, that's not a good reason at all.
I imagine a good chunk of people only care about being max power.
I think if there was another set of gear for Prestige or it had raid bonuses on it, especially
considering that we'll be in the Leviathan for the next year in some form, then maybe
people would want to run it more, but if you could become a higher power level, people
would be a little more incentivized to run it, although that still doesn't solve the
problem of max power not having a lot of meaning because of a variety of things I've already
said 100 times over.
I also think a big incentive is the ability to show off your accomplishments and while
stat tracking emblems can do that to an extent, you watch RealKraftyy do Trials with his emblem
at over 500 wins, you're gonna be impressed, the biggest way of showing off in Destiny
right now from a visual perspective IS to have a cool shader set equipped.
The way I show off right now is by having a fully Monochromatic armor set on my Warlock,
although some might argue the purple glow of the prestige armor is a little show-offy
as well, which it is.
Honestly, I think one of the biggest problems with incentives is that if you're an active
player or an avid player, the game just moves you too quickly through the power rankings,
especially if you're leveling efficiently.
If you wanna look at other MMO-like, investment-like games, they move a lot slower.
They take a lot more time to max out.
But I don't know if intentionally slowing down the power leveling process in Destiny
would really do much for the game, at least if they JUST did that.
It would take a much more significant revamp to adjust for the slower rates of gear or
powering and considering how much loot is dumped on you now, I don't think people would
take kindly to lower drop rates or power gains.
So I ask you, Youtube comments, what's it going
to take to incentivize you?
What will it take to keep you playing day in and day out?
Let me know.
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.
