Without those expansions, the game will need to support itself via optional purchases like October's cosmetic microtransactions, which seemed to go over well. Reports indicate that Destiny won't be getting any more smaller expansions like last year's House of Wolves or The Dark Below, and instead the game will offer regular events (like the current Sparrow Racing League). It's easy to see how this subclass boost feels like a (very expensive) "pay-to-win" microtransaction for those players who are interested in the game's PVP. That means that while a level 20 character and a level 40 character both do the same base amount of damage, the level 40 likely has a more fully leveled subclass and therefore has an array of abilities and options that the level 20 doesn't. Plus, while the Crucible (Destiny's PVP mode) equalizes everyone's weapon damage, it doesn't do the same for subclass unlocks. Play Destiny for 10-12 hours and you'll likely hit level 25, but you'll come no where close to maxing out one of these subclass. These subclasses are what give you both your active and passive abilities, determining how you double jump, what your super moves do, and even basic stat boosts. If you're playing as the spry Hunter, for instance, you can choose to wield the knives of the infused Bladedancer, control the bow of a void-powered Nightstalker, or use the sun-powered hand cannon of the Gunslinger. Each of the game's three classes are further subdivided into three subclasses. Things become a little bit clearer if you stop focusing on the class boost and think about the subclass boost, though. On its face, asking 10 dollars less than that expansion for a level 25 boost doesn't make sense. The Taken King included one of these boosts, and that was a $40 dollar expansion that greatly improved and expanded Destiny. But asking $30 dollars for this boost is absurd. I'd even pay a couple of bucks for it instead of replaying the game's campaign-which really drags throughout the early going. As someone with an end game Hunter and very little free time, I have to admit that it'd be great to quickly gain access to the raids and high level strikes with another class. I'm not fundamentally opposed to selling level 25 boosts, but then again, my personal use case for that is pretty high. Starting today, players will be able to buy "Class Packs" from Xbox Live and PSN (A North American PSN page is not available as of the time of this writing.) For $30, players will be able to instantly boost one character to level 25, max out one subclass, and speed up weapon leveling with a set of telemetries. Either pretend that he's actually giving a thumbs down or that thumbs ups are negative in the Destiny canon.ĭestiny fans woke up to a surprise this morning: More microtransactions.
