2 Years Later and Luke Smith is still an Asshat ( 24-06-15 )

Actual Quote from Luke Smith: [quote]Reading my interview with Eurogamer and imagining it came from some random developer of a game I love – that random developer looks like an Asshat. But that Asshat was me – and those words rightfully anger you. I’m sorry. My words made it sound as if Bungie doesn’t care about their most loyal fans. [/quote] You're right Luke Smith. Bungie STILL doesn't care about their most loyal fans. You STILL don't care. You STILL aren't listening. And we will make it right. - WHEN. [spoiler]Popcorn ready.[/spoiler]

  • Players: We want our characters to be voiced Bungie: No, we know better than you. Players: We want random weapon rolls Bungie: No, we know better than you. Players: At least the Prestige raid will increase the light cap we've all been at for weeks! Bungie: About that.... Players: Man, there isn't really an endgame, wtf! Bungie: We intended that because we know better than you. The game is now about collecting.

    • No. Seriously, no. Luke Smith is fine. He shouldn't of apologized in the first place. He never said anything that warranted an apology. This community is just full of awful, entitled men acting like spoiled children. Smith and his fireteam made a fine, if imperfect, sequel to Destiny. It has problems, but overall D2 is a enjoyable and worthwhile game. Instead of enjoying what they made, you've all decided to throw endless tantrums.

[spoiler]Popcorn ready.[/spoiler][/quote] For the communities best interest it seems I’ll have to be the Ice Breaker. There’s No Time to Explain every issue we have with this game but I can shed some Hard Light. You’ve told us to wait and that’s some Super Good Advice but our Patience and Time was burned with all the other gear in D1. I guess this is your Fabian Strategy to get us to buy DLC but that’s where all the Bad Juju comes from. It’s a great marketing plan but man is it wrong, we bought this game to play and have fun. Now it’s time to switch to Plan C stop being The Chaperone and let us play our way again. We want the grind back to tell ya The Truth and it needs to happen soon before we abbadon (abandon) this game. There’s No Land Beyond Destiny and none we’d want to play but being treated like The Trespasser is making us leave. Now I’m sitting in front of my tv I see the game pick up my Universal Remote and turn it off. It might seem ColdHeart-ed but the game right now is like a Thorn in our side. Destiny 1 was like being at the Monte Carlo resort and having an Ace of Spades up your sleeve. With Hawkmoons luck on getting good loot. We shouldn’t feel a Touch Of Malice everytime we log on. I don’t mean for my post to be Invective but I’ve gotta say what I’m feeling down to The Last Word. Destiny was at its Outbreak Prime before Destiny 2 dropped. Now it’s at its Red Death all over the floor. I used to follow a SUROS Regime every day. Wake up, do school, then play Destiny. Now I see the game and I fall into a NechroChasm of whether I should even bother. I’m not trying to be a Mida-Multi Tool but I’m going to express my thoughts. Your Telesto (success) has gone right out the door. Not even Tlaloc (god of crops, harvest, and rain) could fix this. It’s like The Fourth Horseman of the apocalypse is destroying your game. Hereafter let us tell the legend of Destiny’s fall. With Dragons Breath and a Young Wolfs Howl the Lord of Wolves came after it. Thunderlord the Bolt Caster fired at it and Raze Lighter-ed the whole game. He is the Dark Drinker taking from the void and filling the forums with salt. With his Queenbreakers Bow he fires arrows with the weight of a Zen Meteor. He is the Nova Mortis showing light for a short time before bringing death. The Sleeper Simulant showing us boredom and how to experience it. The Nemesis Star for we all dislike him. This beings true name? Luke Smith. Kappa Kappa

        • I really hope those who are not enjoying D2 move the fug on. The current issues with D2 are well known. You add no new feedback only angst and entitled nonsense. Gossiping children with too much time on their hands. No wonder Bungie ignores the lot of you. Everytime I see one of you fugs I hit mute. Sooner than later this forum will be nothing but gamers who actually know how to give constructive criticism while still enjoying the game. Each day this place gets less and less salty for me. Only a couple hundred more mutes to go.

          • This is why Destiny 2 sucks. Activision clearly has big plans for Destiny 2. In its latest earnings call, the publisher said that Destiny 2 should appeal to a wider audience and that the company is “very excited” about the game’s release in late 2017.

          • LOL ... ok lets look at some things that were said or I misunderstood 1- there are no exotic quests.. hmm can you say mida, can you say rat king quest. 2- we want everyone to have a easy time at getting stuff ( ????? ) hmm easy uh huh nightfall for rat king quest with 5 minutes remaining and oh by the way you need to have others that are doing the rat king quest to finish it, not easy to do when you can't find ppl that have not done the nightfall for the rat king. 3- we have made the weapons and armor generic ( or in other words what we here at bungie say is the best perks ) so no RNGs to find what I ( you ) believe is the perfect roll. 4- We have made it easy for strikes and PvP, Like no mercy rule,4 on 1 PvP in quickplay, no choice on what you want to do, as in Clash, Rumble, Salvage, Control, Superpramcy ( yeah I Know But think about it.) and about 85% of the time everyones goes off by themselves and not helpful to the team. N way to choose what strike you want to do. 4A- noway to report unfriendly, unhelpful players and according to bungie you can report clans in the PvP list. hmmm only way to report a clan is while active in match after match there is only report player. players who quit during match, Yes I am guilty of this especially when your teammates go off and leave you by yourself and/or not attacking the player on the other team ( why should I stay when there is no help from your own teammates). 5- The random drops of items are 99% of the time below you lvl, even when turning in engrams 98% of the time the exact same lvl. 6- too way too many duplicates dropping. 6A -You wont get hunter items if you are a titan ( enter your character ) always getting mods for not my character. ok I might have a solution to some but I doubt if anyone agrees and their is probably noway in hell that bungie would do it unless they notice a lot of us are going to other games and or back to D1. answers to some 2- get rid of the timer in nightfall for quest, if you beat the nightfall in a certain amount of time you get nightfall items and/or perks ( weapons armor halos ( auras like in D1 for just finishing the nightfall ). 3- weapons and armor lets take a peak at D1 exotics TWIST OF FATE trick, I would say maybe 100 to 200 legendary shards for 3 twists of fate only purchased from XUR. 4- bring back those choices to choose where you want to go. 4a - make it easier to report players that quit during match by showing the after match report for all players in match and a highlight of who began the match and finished it. 5- make the random drops better by dropping the low lvl items to 50% of the time with 50% of the time getting same or higher lvls.6- stop the dropping of 10 sunbreakers in a row with maybe 2% chance of it being better than what you have. 6a- They told you that you would never get items not of your class, if you do you should be able to turn it in for an equal or better item. and BRING BACK THE BADGES we would get to see on our characters when look at on the companion ( there's plenty of room on screen to show them off in game. add to that the badges that showed your progress in the different areas ( vanguard, crucible, gunsmith and so on.)I don't think this is too hard to do, What do you think?

            • HOW LUKE SMITH BECAME WHO HE IS TODAY. "Doc we've got an emergency, a Guardians sparrow crashed headfirst into the forklift, the guardians just hanging on". "Quick prep theatre 8 I'll scrub up" 5 mins later the doc enters theatre, "Dam that's Squadron leader Luke Smith I'd know that neck beard anywhere," "Oh my says the nurse he's won every medal the Guardianship has, speed runs bravery kills, solo infiltration he's won everything, all awarded to himself by himself". "Then we must save him", replies the doc "But his brains hanging outta his face, how the hell can he come back from this." "Hold on I've got an idea", The doc then contacts the local zoo, within 15mins a ship drops off a small cage containing a captive Capuchin monkey, And after some excellent surgery Captain Luke's brain is replaced. "But Doc he'll never fly again, what will become of him." "Don't worry the Capuchin monkey can adequately articulate, the Guardianship can always use him as a front man on stage, he should be able to blunder his way through that." Thus ended the short career of Squadron leader Luke Smith.

              • The problem is that they gave the forums everything that they asked for. Grenade spam- solved Shotgun and sniper whores- solved Not enough primary gun fights- solved Ability spam- solved.

                      • LS is in a protected position. He can do whatever and say whatever because Bungie will back him because he has history with them. What we see with the end product is a design team decision that has rotted from the inside out.

                              • Following this guys idiotic Eurogamer statement, he made the decision to take Elemental Primaries away. Invalidating the promise that our time would be respected. So, for a year, we did the grind to get weapons that we knew would never be taken away because of a promise from Bungie. Then, they took those weapons away. When fan anger exploded, his response was that they are never coming back, ever. That was Luke Smith. Now, every single thing that's wrong with Destiny 2 is Luke Smith. (The good things too I guess. Are there any good things?) He is the reason we don't have random rolls. He is the reason we can't choose our Crucible type. He is the cause of every single thing that's wrong with the worlds worst game sequel. And what kind of statement does this fool make in response to this? He's happy that so many people have reached the "Level Cap". Well, that's 20, so that's nothing to be proud of. That's horrible design that allowed that. He think he did the right thing for the "Collection Game". No, Luke, no. You did the exact opposite of what you should have done with the collection game. It's exactly as bad as it could be, it literally can't be worse. This guy should have been fired after the Eurogamer statement. Failing that, he should have been fired after the Elemental Primary controversy. He certainly should be fired now. If I was an investor, I would get as far away from Bungie/Activision as possible. They've got no clue what they're doing. Getting rid of the guy that destroyed Destiny would go a long way toward restoring our faith in this awful company.

                                • I like Luke Smith. I disagree with a lot of his design decisions, and I hate it when he doubles down on what I think are the dumbest ones, but the way he talks, or writes, has never offended me. I like having a dev directly involved in the making of the game talk candidly about it. The alternative is Deej and his hypnotic PR doublespeak word diarrhea (I'm sure Deej is a nice guy, it's just that his job and taskmasters require him to spew BS). Besides, most of you people acting all butthurt at how LS talks also talk like that, not because you're arrogant, not because you're asshats, but because that's how people talk now. So stop being so sensitive already and answer him on what he said, instead of losing your shit over how he said it.
