Update: Destiny’s Luke Smith said that they don’t plan on introducing microtransactions that buff drops in the King’s Fall raid. However, he didn’t mention the other modifiers. Let’s see what the future holds.
I don’t know about the rest of you guys but since Bungie has announced the microtransaction system, that would be available with the new update that will enable us to buy emotes using real money, I felt like there was more to it that meets the eye.
And apparently I was right because, according to a post on the Bungie forums, “if you visit the Eververse Trading Company Item Returns menu you can see “Consumable Items are nonreturnable”, which means that soon or later Bungie will incorporate consumable items to the Eververse Store.
But the news doesn’t finish here, there were also added to the database armoury the following consumable items:
List of Consumables to be sold from Eververse Trading Company soon:
•Heuristic Light – Buy additional moldering shards during the King’s Fall raid.
•Indomitable Light – Buy more likelihood for armor and weapon drops during a normal mode King’s Fall raid.
•Valorous Light – Buy more likelihood for armor and weapon drops during a hard mode King’s Fall raid.
•Hunter Level 25 Starter Pack – Buy level 25 instantly, fully level any subclass instantly, and receive several telemetries to gain XP quicker.
•Warlock Level 25 Starter Pack – Buy level 25 instantly, fully level any subclass instantly, and receive several telemetries to gain XP quicker.
•Titan Level 25 Starter Pack – Buy level 25 instantly, fully level any subclass instantly, and receive several telemetries to gain XP quicker.
•Subclass Infusion – Buy a fully leveled subclass instantly (Fully upgrades your currently equipped subclass)
•Bone Trinkets – Buy Increased XP Gains from The Fallen for 10 minutes
•Void Shackles – Buy Increased XP Gains from Hive for 10 minutes
•Spent Displacer – Buy Increased XP Gains from Vex for 10 minutes
•Campaign Medals – Buy Increased XP Gains from Cabal for 10 minutes
It seems that after all the so call microtransactions in Destiny will not just be for some emotes and cosmetic items.
I don’t know about you, but this definitely disappoints me and kinda makes me feel want to quit playing Destiny… Feel free to share your opinion with us on the comments below.
