@sravankb: This isn't directly at you alone because I know several people here have said the same thing, but didn't players on Reddit disprove the "Chest Cooldowns" more than a month ago when we realized Loot Boxes seemingly didn't have a floor, and instead of there being no loot, it was falling under the world if you weren't standing close enough to the chests? I'm pretty sure there isn't a "Chest Cooldown" at all, as I've never once lost loot since I've made it a priority to stand right up next to Chest when opening them. But if you stand at the edge of the opening range the loot may fall through the ground and not end up at your post master either, thus appearing like an empty loot box. A bug for sure (and one that hopefully gets addressed), but a preventable one of the part of the player as it stands now.
Yeah, I've read about that. While it does help in some instances (mostly for Cayde's chests), it still isn't a guarantee. There are instances where I wait there for a whole minute while standing on the chest (as recommended by Reddit), but still no rewards. Hell, while we're talking about chests - even if I do get a reward from one of Cayde's chests, there's a good chance it'll be a few blue-quality items. So, why should I care about something that's both un-rewarding and occasionally buggy? Bungie still hasn't fixed this problem, btw. It's been three months now.
Every few months I think to myself, "People seem to like Destiny, I should give it a try." Then I read something like this.
Coming from a Destiny fan - maybe get a used physical copy of "the D2 complete collection" in a couple years from now. And that's only if you think you'll like the gunplay / mechanics (still the best in the genre, IMO). As for the reward system - they never have and never will design a good reward system to save their lives.
Plus, they're just plain bad at communicating with their players; this incident is just one example of many (see : 0.04% buff.) I made the mistake of hoping that would change with D2, but nope - it appears that they'll never learn unless there are some serious shake-ups in upper management. They're actively gutting the goodwill they earned from the previous generation.
I almost never pre-order games unless I'm absolutely certain I'm gonna like the game (2 pre-orders in the past 3 years), but I messed up this time around. Learned my lesson; never gonna pre-order at all going forward.
At the end of the day - Bungie has a history of incompetence, lies, and arrogance that shouldn't be actively supported.
