It was announced that Patch 5 for Dragon Age Inquisition has entered the Beta Phase and it is a SHINING beacon of how a developer is SUPPOSED to treat their community and how a developer is SUPPOSED to address community feedback.
Dragon Age has been out for LESS time than Destiny.
Yet the forums have been alight with unanimous requests for certain things.
[b][u]The Community asked Bioware to bring back "The Black Emporium" from Dragon Age 2.[/u][/b]
Why?
Simply put The Black Emporium was a black market for the player to get special gear and and other items for their character and people wanted to see a return of such a place.
Bioware's response?
[quote]- The Black Emporium: A mysterious underground shop owned by an immortal proprietor which appeared in the previous game via DLC. Here, the Inquisitor can purchase items such as epic weapons, powerful accessories, new crafting materials and schematics to add to the Inquisition.
[/quote]
They are gonna add it to the game in Patch 5.
[b][u]The Community kept talking about and requesting a way to alter their characters appearance in game.[/u] [/b]
Why?
The lighting in the Character creator can't 100% show how a character would look in the countless different lighting situations the game has. People (myself) included found a flaw or two in their character in certain lightings and had no way of fixing it.
Bioware's response?
[quote]- Mirror of Transformation: It is found inside the Black Emporium which also appeared in the previous game. It will enable the player to change facial appearance and voice in “Dragon Age: Inquisition.”[/quote]
They are gonna add it to the game in Patch 5.
[b][u]The Community was upset that there was not a real storage option to help them keep gear or share gear between their characters.[/u][/b]
There was no storage chest so you had to carry everything on you at all times. On top of that there was no way to share gear between your characters.
Bioware's Response?
[quote]- Undercroft Party Storage: BioWare will add a party storage located at the Undercroft of Skyhold, allowing players to keep items for later use.[/quote]
Also being added to Patch 5.
ALL OF THIS IS BEING ADDED FOR FREE AND IS BEING DONE AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMUNITY
That is not EVEN counting the patches that has come before this one that has fixed countless bugs and balanced numerous abilities.
THIS is how a Developer is meant to treat and listen to their community.
THIS is how a Developer is meant to support the game when they get things wrong.
To the people who constantly feel the need to defend Bungie and the way they treat this game and their community.
To the people who constantly say "Programming these kinds of things takes time!"
Where is that logic in this situation?
Bioware has a smaller overall team working on Dragon Age.
Smaller overall community for Dragon Age
Smaller overall Budget for Dragon Age
Dragon Age has been out for LESS time
Dragon Age Sold alot less than Destiny.
Yet they have no problem pumping out patches and fixes that their community wants and that their game needs.
What is your excuse Bungie?
You have no shortage of community feedback yet you seem completely blind to our existence.
We already HAVE a storage system and simply want more space. Bioware are going to add a storage space FROM SCRATCH and have had LESS time to do it.
There are still bugs in the VoG that has existed for the LENGTH of the game, and yet you still have not fixed them.
THIS is NOT how a Developer is meant to treat and listen to their community.
THIS is NOT how a Developer is meant to support the game when they get things wrong.
So I will ask again.
Whats your excuse Bungie?
[b][u]Upvote this if you think that this community and this game deserves to be treated in a similar manner[/u][/b]
[b][u]EDIT: Over 650 upvotes and its not "trending" ..........hmmm.......how curious[/u] [/b]

343 is giving ODST for free to make amends for the multiplayer nightmare.

I won't disagree that Bungie needs to tend to popular requests a little better but I also will acknowledge that they have a lot that they're working on for this game already, so I mean I'll keep enjoying myself on destiny. Patience and time? Eh?
-
Bump They suck right now
-
Gotta love Bioware, as soon as my xbox one copy comes I am done with Destiny for a while
-
I would say this most recent update was pretty good. Especially the mobile vault access.
-
Dragon Age Blows
-
Bungie has no class.
-
Damn, this deserves a bump. Powerful stuff right there. +1 guardian tear
-
Isn't this update for pc players only?
-
So you're saying that the 2nd sequel of a solo player RPG, that no one plays, is getting content faster that a New IP multiplayer shared world FPS, housing hundred thousands of gamers on its servers. I think your comparing apples and celery
-
Destiny 2 should be the uprising and the roar :T -I'm hopeful
-
I swear this forum is filled to the brim with giant pussies.
-
Bump with full support!!
-
-
Great well referenced topic, bumped with my full support!
-
why do a poll at all if there is no option to disagree with you?? what a waste of space this post is.
-
I have been playing Bungie games for 2 decades. This has been the worse I have ever seen this company preform. The CM is completely incompetent, the Dev team seems slow to react or lacking the required personnel and I can't remember when I have ever seen such a toxic community. Bungie use to promise world domination, now it's just another product first quality later company. Such a shame ;(

What no one seems to figure out is the fact there are probably like 10 people working on Destiny...the other 490+ people are working on Destiny 2. Is it right? Hell no...but they arent just sitting there with their thumbs up their collective asses.

Edited by macSt0ney: 2/26/2015 6:18:58 PMReally it has been obvious that bungie really doesnt care, sure they are bringing some minor changes to keep us busy until HOW! But thats it..They dont even bother to answer real serious questions! I dont expect anything from them anymore. Dont get me wrong I love the game, but at the same time I hate it.
-
They're too busy swimming in their pool of money that we gave them.
-
sounds like you should be playing dragon age instead.
-
Bungie knows what's best for us, just like obama. (Obviously being sarcastic)
-
Deej fault
-
A Noice speech m8... Top notch qwality 10/10 IGN would read again [spoiler]this isn't how I type. But nice post anyway! Inquisition sounds a lot better than Destiny right now...[/spoiler]
-
So go play dragon age.
