Keep it coming Bungie. I love this game and I trust you guys to make it even better. Good job.

I had a good laugh.

I love you DeeJ, keep up the great work

Thanks Deej. I've read all your posts so far, and I think you're doing a great job communicating what's going on. I also really enjoy the game (when I get a chance to play it that is, I'm still only level 23), and I think Bungie's been pretty responsive to players.

Well said Deej!

Thank you DeeJ for what you do. I know being the voice of the forums to bungie can't be easy for one guy. (Unless DeeJ is code for an entire dev team; in which case Ignor that comment). But this community needs transparency; it needs specific, and detailed information about why this or that is getting nerfed/buffed. Or when a certain patch is coming out (*cough thorn and bad juju *cough). And if something will never happen or can't happen for a while let us know why.

I love Bungie and it pains me to see all of this hate coming from the community. to be fair Bungie really could have soften this huge blow from the release if they just implemented a few things from..you guessed it..HALO. theater mode...custom lobbies and even the armor customization (your own choosing of colors or shaders for this matter) that halo had would have easily made this game much more enjoyable.

I believe what you say as much as I believe 404architect.

It is desperate and dark days lately isnt it. With all the nerfs and patches...there must be light at the end of the tunnel! Or end of the raid...

Thanks Deej. Honestly. Now for those who didn't know will now know. [spoiler]bungie employs stalkers @_@[/spoiler]

I agree with Arron Rift's idea about some sort of a marker, because a stock "We hear you" would actually suffice in helping people to feel that you are indeed listening. Now I have only one major gripe with this game (Besides servers, though I guess it's not entirely Bungie's fault with it) and that is loot. 100% RNG only works in other games because it is group RNG. It's the collective 5, 10, 20, or 25 people versus this one system in other games. So, when a duplicate item, something that I already have drops, I don't just smash it into materials, it goes to another person in the raid that does in fact need it. If you don't want to have a group loot system, I don't really think you can keep the RNG as is, because at the end of the day, it just feels unrewarding. I can think of numerous different methods for changing the loot system so that it doesn't just seem to hand out immensely powerful items to some people while shitting all over everybody else. I think the method for Raid's that I would most be interested in would be raid tokens to buy the Raid armor sets, because I know of several people who are still stuck at level 29 after clearing the raid over 20 times, and others who are level 30 after doing it 2 or 3 times, my brother being one of the prior. He just this week deleted his hunter after clearing the raid on normal and hard and getting nothing so that he could do it again. I would wager that he had around 10 clears on his Hunter before he did this, and has 9 on his Warlock with another 6 on his Titan. AND YET NOT ONE LEVEL 30. Whereas I have done nearly 600 crucible matches and gotten one piece of loot I can't even pretend I'd enjoy. (And yeah, that one piece was the Truth launcher. Yippee) This brings me to my second idea for a loot system. Let's call it "The Points Reward System" where all your crucible score is as the site already does, added up and say lumped into one big pile of nearly worthless currency. Now you add a vendor that will accept said currency in exchange for exotic weapons (And hell, it'd be really nice to see some actual PvP gear, some gear that you could only get by doing extensive PvP to show that you meant business) ...In any case, you'd spend 500k, or 1 million, or hell, even 2 million of your crucible points to buy your choice of exotic weapon, instead of just praying to god you get the one you want. - Look, I see your whole RNG concept, and rarity and blah blah, but this system would; A: Reward people for time spent, instead of just getting lucky. (And at the same time, improve the actual rarity of exotic weapons) B: Give people a sense of accomplishment, a drive to actually contribute to the team, even if it's only for their own gain. And C: Remove the chance of people AFK'ing to abuse the current system. No points, no loot. I LIKE it when the best items in the game are hard to get, I do.... But your current system doesn't actually do that. It makes it entirely a guessing game. There is just way waaaay too much randomness in current loot methods, which from a lot of player's perspectives definitely favors other people. In a technicality, and though unlikely, there is a chance that you never reach level 30, no matter how many times you run the raid. I'm an MMO veteran, so I've seen poor luck with loot before, but never have I seen such a discrepancy between the ones who are essentially blessed by the system, and the ones that are -blam!-ed by it repeatedly. That's because other games have a fail-safe; the group loot system. Where even though the loot is all RNG, it's dropped in a big ol' pile for the whole group to sort through. Though this system can potentially still leave people wanting, you can get around it by finding a consistent group to run raids with. Even if you lose every single roll, eventually it will come around to you.... But without that fail safe, if you lose every single roll with this RNG system as it were, you will get nothing. Ever. And there is an even greater chance that no matter how much you play the game, you literally never get any of the exotic weapons that you want. When you get an exotic weapon that you have literally zero desire to use, well it doesn't feel so exotic. I wouldn't even mind if there was a possibility that I never got my loot... If it wasn't just handed out to other players after their ass drags like a dog. End rant.

Deej......I am really sorry to have to write this......You lost all credibly with me (at least) a while back. I wish I could believe what you write.

Deej the only thing I am asking for is private matches and a theater mode

Whenever there is a game failure, at some point you get THIS post from someone 'involved' It says nothing of substance, does nothing but antagonise and ultimately just collates the anger of the disgruntled gamers in one place. Disappointing to see it here but unsurprising when there is a gaping chasm of content that looks like it can never be fully realised without redefining the story and Bungie seem to have evolved an appeasement process aimed at those who shout the loudest.

Some amount of criers on these forums

Thanks for the update DeeJ! It's good to hear that you are actively viewing our feedback. You are doing a great job with a tough, critical, and out-spoken community. Keep up the good work.

Why is Bungie making nerfs and buffs, when they have not even fixed the VoG audio issue???? Hmmmm..... Why are not the game issue's being addressed prior to people PERSONAL request.... Making these requested changes prior to the one's ACTUALLY needed are hurting this game.

Sitting here on a rooftop in the Divide. Absolutely nothing exciting to do. Same random bounties for the passed two months, same strikes... I could start a new character, and do it all over again. Playing hour after hour doing the same missions Ive done a gazillion times. Man, Destiny's lack of content is just so overwhelming of the good things in this game. I want to say good things but when the bad greatly out weigh the good, it is hard to justify. It almost sounds like Bungie expects us to give them all praise for a beautiful, great game. Guess what Bungie, you would be receiving a mass of praise, if you would have gave us a full game to judge. I thought I would be in for 10 years maybe, but I havent even made it two months. And with that, I have been returned to orbit for inactivity. Can we return Destiny to Bungie for inactivity?

I think there are some enhancements to playability which would not be controversial and would be received well by most people. These are things like: - status of faction, vanguard, crucible, cryptarch etc.. level on one of the screens (its somewhere on this board) - ability to view grimoire - knowing how far you have till bonus is nice - fixing where grimoire progress is not updated for some daily and weekly strikes - locking weapons and armor which you do not want to accidentally dismantle - putting exotic bounties in the mission bucket

Don't just tell us you all are listening... SHOW us please!

Damage controlling at it's finest.
