"The update we'll never get-"

This is a quote from "The Ben obiwan", who posted this on a Bungie update 2015/01/22. So far it has 3500+ comments and bumps. At 2500 Bungie hid the post. To show support, and to show that we do want change, I move that everyone starts posting this to the forums, for as long as it takes them to listen. Fill the forums with nothing but these posts!! Force them to hear our voices, and to listen! Change starts with us! Keep this trending people! And make replicated posts! Spread the word of "The Ben obiwan!" [b]Edit1[/b]: the original post is no longer hidden on the update page “The update we'll never get- "We listened to the masses, and are making some changes to the game. 5 million people bought the dlc, so we have plenty of funds to make this game fun again! We are doubling vault space, hell, lets triple it, what do we care? You can now trade your useless ascendant mats for other things, 10 to 1 for radiant mats, 1 to 1 for marks. Survival mode added. Its really fun, and you get more loot the longer you stay alive. Grimoire is accessible in game, so people actually read it. As you complete sections of the grimoire, cut scenes are unlocked, revealing story points, it was always there, we just forgot to put it in. You can now change your characters appearance once a week for 10,000 glimmer. We made some really fun bounties for you to try, because we are sick of the same crap since launch as well. You can now add modifiers to any mission, and complete it for rewards suitable to difficulty. Of course we don't want every single core player looking identical, the outfitter can help. You just need the armor that has the appearance you want and the armor that has the stats you want. Take it to the outfitter with a chunk of some materials or something and BLAM you have sweet, unique armor, it's so -blam!-ing simple, I can't believe we didn't have this in since release. Crota's End sparrow can do tricks. We agree, all those low impact auto rifles and pulse rifles are like shit on a dick. Nobody wants it, so we added some decent/balanced ones. We fixed all them annoying bugs, like the sword disappearing, heavy ammo synth not working, and the Templar random containment fields. Queens Wrath is coming this week. Turns out there is [i]not[/i] a problem with YOUR network, it was OUR problem [i]all along.[/i] lol. Oh, and 5 more strikes are available, just because we are rolling in cash, and we want to thank you, the customer, for being such a sport, and believing in us." But instead Bungie just carry on, completely oblivious to core problems in the game. Why do I look forward to reading this every week? This could get 1000 bumps, it won't make any difference. I don't think they even read the comments. Edit: Lol, ignore it until it goes away. Perfect PR. Oops, should I of pulled that punch? Edit 2: Thanks guys. Obligatory new bump goal: The moon This post is unrealistic, that's the point, but what is unrealistic is not these ideas being implemented, but Bungie actually addressing issues the community reiterates week after week. Some acknowledgement is all we want, but instead we get ignorance. I love Destiny, but I've done everything, I just want to continue enjoying the game.” -the Ben obiwan [b]edit 2:wow!! 3300+ comments!! Plus all the other posts like this!! Keep it coming guardians! Make our voices heard[/b]! [b]edit 3: my fellow guardians, Bungie has taken down all other posts. They ignored us. But we have not lost yet. Keep this bumping and trending folks![/b]

  • I like how people think they can just pull all of this out of their ass like it takes 5 minutes to do. Like any of you know jack shit about how any of the development/programming works. "We are doubling vault space, hell, lets triple it, what do we care?" I'm pretty sure they aren't just holding back vault space just for no reason. It's most likely an issue with how to implement it properly. Which takes TIME TO FIGURE OUT. "You can now trade your useless ascendant mats for other things, 10 to 1 for radiant mats, 1 to 1 for marks." Useless to you maybe. I still get weapons from engrams and such that require ascendant materials. And they most likely won't do this because it affects gear progression. You're basically saying you're too impatient to build up radiant mats for Crota and want some for free. "Survival mode added. Its really fun, and you get more loot the longer you stay alive." Because adding a mode like that is just like flipping a switch right? It totally wouldn't take time to develop and design how to make it work, where it should happen, what are appropriate rewards, etc. It's a nice idea. However just the idea doesn't get it made. And how it gets made is something you know nothing about. "Grimoire is accessible in game, so people actually read it." People do read it. Just because you're too lazy to go to your computer and use the bungie site doesn't mean everyone is. I've read every one that I've obtained. And once again, they'd have to develop an interface and everything for that, which takes time and development. "As you complete sections of the grimoire, cut scenes are unlocked, revealing story points, it was always there, we just forgot to put it in." Oh right they just forgot to put it in. Lol. Really? And this is another thing people don't seem to understand. Just because it's in the lore, doesn't mean it's going to be in game. Because the story in the game is about YOU. Not someone from 200 years ago, not someone that has nothing to do with current events. Y. O. U. The story is about you in this universe, not just the universe itself. So it tells the story from your perspective and thus focuses on things only happening to you. "You can now change your characters appearance once a week for 10,000 glimmer." Ya let's just make our character's appearance pointless and devalue it by letting you change it like you change clothes. Maybe a haircut, but full re-do? I really don't think so. "We made some really fun bounties for you to try, because we are sick of the same crap since launch as well." Once again, not that simple. And if you're tired of the bounties, don't do them. Take a break. Nobody is making you do them. "You can now add modifiers to any mission, and complete it for rewards suitable to difficulty." And what would be "suitable" rewards? It can't be anything too substantial because the way you describe it, they'd be farmable. "Of course we don't want every single core player looking identical, the outfitter can help. You just need the armor that has the appearance you want and the armor that has the stats you want. Take it to the outfitter with a chunk of some materials or something and BLAM you have sweet, unique armor, it's so -blam!-ing simple, I can't believe we didn't have this in since release." Because implementing that is just SO simple. Oh wait, it's not. This is also one of those things that most likely they didn't have on release because they didn't know players would want it. There are things that you have to get player feedback on for development that they may not think of. People seem to think that somehow bungie should know what we want before we even tell them. "Crota's End sparrow can do tricks." Ya that's an incredibly important change, I'm sure. Right at the top of the list. "We agree, all those low impact auto rifles and pulse rifles are like shit on a dick. Nobody wants it, so we added some decent/balanced ones." No, they don't agree. Because that's your opinion. Not a fact. I personally love the Praedyth's Timepiece and it served me well. And also the Coiled Hiss I bought off the vendor. Their strength is in the stability and rate of fire. Not everything has to have super high impact to be good. The Three Little Words I have has a lot of impact, but it's slow as hell and feels clunky to use. And Atheon's Epilogue served me well as well. They can be good. There should be more variety, yes. But just because you don't like them doesn't mean they're bad. "We fixed all them annoying bugs, like the sword disappearing, heavy ammo synth not working, and the Templar random containment fields." What's that? Another thing that isn't that simple to fix and takes time to figure out and fix without breaking ten other things at the same time? It's almost as if you have no clue about making a game. "Queens Wrath is coming this week." That's not a fix. That's just you wanting Queen's Wrath. "Turns out there is not a problem with YOUR network, it was OUR problem all along. lol." When did they ever say that it was people's networks that was the problem? Never. That's why they have a team specifically for figuring out how to fix this stuff. "Oh, and 5 more strikes are available, just because we are rolling in cash, and we want to thank you, the customer, for being such a sport, and believing in us." Hey another thing that takes time to develop and plan, and doesn't just fly in out of nowhere. I swear people think that just because the game sold well it makes them God and they can do anything at the snap of their fingers. "But instead Bungie just carry on, completely oblivious to core problems in the game." They're not oblivious to it. It just doesn't happen over night. THINGS TAKE TIME TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT PROPERLY. FFS. They are listening. They've already made changes according to the community. You have people who made sparrow trick videos to thank for inspiring them to make the Tumbler. "Edit: Lol, ignore it until it goes away. Perfect PR. Oops, should I of pulled that punch?" Excuse them for not replying to every random twat who spews a million ideas about random shit every five seconds in the forums. "This post is unrealistic, that's the point, but what is unrealistic is not these ideas being implemented, but Bungie actually addressing issues the community reiterates week after week." And once again, you have no idea just how deep those issues may be, and how difficult they may or may not be to fix. They are not ignoring you. they're working their asses off. "Some acknowledgement is all we want, but instead we get ignorance." And if all they did was acknowledge it, you and others would be bitching that they give you the same copy/paste "we're working on it" response. Would that make you happy? No, because nothing will ever make people happy these days. Everyone has to be entitled to everything and thinks that they can just pull all of this out of their asses in a week's time. Because if you paid $60 for a game you're entitled to infinite hours of free extra content, all the items for no work, a free HDTV and console to play the game on, a pony, and a handjob from the devs. And if you don't get that, then the devs/publishers are money whoring bastards who are out to steal everything you own, kill your dog, screw your wife, and do whatever it takes to make your life a living hell while they sit on a throne of hookers drinking liquified one hundred dollar bills. FFS the gaming community as a whole has just gone to shit.
