Dev Notes - not bad, they're trying

http://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Dev-Notes/en/News/News?aid=12188 I have to say, they have experienced and at least seen some of the things we were talking about. It's nice to see them making some changes. But they are slow to come, as it is with any MMO-style game. Console gamers, really, MMO's take forever to get to a balanced place and even then, they don't ever always please everyone. Be patient, I have a really good feeling about Destiny in the months to come. (this game really isnt intended for entitled millennials, they dont understand "working for rewards" ...seems "i tried, i deserve better for trying" is the attitude. I like the notes. I'm excited to see what else is coming. Now, can i go home boss, I'd very much like to run 25 strikes for Bad Juju...and then let it sit in my vault until the buff it. LOL.

  • I love random hard drops. I always wanted to get into a mmo and this game is not far. This game barely came out and people cry. Grinding is the point, effort is the key. Shooting is just the vehicle to grind with... players shouldnt all look the same, do the same things and get the same guaranteed reward. This isnt borderlands.

  • ~ They removed any incentive to run queens missions if you already own legendary gear which tons of people already do. ~They nerfed the popular farm spots and the buffs for over all loot will happen "in the next coming months" so now we have shit returns and shit drop rates. ~Shotguns without range upgrades could barely OSK in melee range. Further nerfing their range will only make them worse. Casing people to flock to fusion rifles and then those will be nerfed. ~Auto rifles were fine. If pulse/scout rifles were not as good they should be buffed instead of nerfing auto's for a second time AND buffing the other weapons. The only good thing that comes from this is the buff to thorn and juju. I would say the loot drops getting better is another point but who knows when the -blam!- we will get that.

  • Slow to come? It's been a little over 2 weeks. I would say I didn't expect a hard response until the expansion. I feel like this is really quick

    • I totally agree, don't pay any attention to all the 14 year old cry baby's . You have to work to get rewarded in this game and I like that. I also like that they removed the ascended shards from queens gear, only makes sense if not everyone will be running around with maxed gear in 1-2 days..... And your NOT suppose to get maxed gear over nite, sorry cry baby's. Learn to play.

LOL.[/quote] i agree with you say but whats with the whole "entitled millennials" comment... I assume you mean kids but millennials are people that are young adults, mostly 20-30. There is nothing wrong with this demographic in gaming, and as a 18 year old gamer, on the younger side of the millennial generation, I am kind of offended. In the gaming community, the ones that get the bad rep are the "12 year olds" the generic age that labels every offensive kid that are playing games they're too young for. These kids aren't millennials, they are part of the current, unnamed generation, or generation Z until it gets an actual name.

            • I was really happy to see the Dev notes too. They are paying attention to all the right things and I'm sure there are more fixes to come soon. I think people forget how much of an experiment this game was in the first place, and it's hard to gauge what the public will think outside of the experiences of a small development team. All that said, I'm still waiting for improvements to ten story content.

              • My favourite is the bit at the beginning about the Cryptarch, even Bungie realizes that guys a bit of a dick.
