Bungie, can you please make a news-board in the character selection like real MMORPGs?

An actual "news" menu section or display on the login screen would REALLY help with upcoming maintenance and downtimes.

Meanwhile you (Bungie) have to rely on your own website, Twitter, your Destiny companion app and a one-time ingame pop-up (that this time came up 1h before maintenance ingame). What is so hard to make a "New in Destiny" news section with point outs to TWABs, Maintenance and Patch notes? Why do people have to look up stuff [b]outside[/b] the game that is [b]relevant for the game[/b]? People like me don't use Twitter most of the time. My twitter account is lucky to get looked at even once per month. I don't use the companion app anymore. And your Bungie.net mainpage does a horrible job at telegraphing us players when the next maintenance will be on first glance outside of the maintenance day. We have to either wait for the pop-up bar on maintenance day or check the last TWAB for the info. I don't get it why a news section is not a thing in this game yet. It doesn't hurt your minimalistic login screen UI in any way and only helps the players to better understand what is going on. Even a simple orange text box below the character selection with a rough timer like [url=https://imgur.com/a/wDK22j3]"XY hours, YZ minutes til maintenance"[/url] would be enough for most as indicator 2 days before maintenance. Just saying.
