  • >>Disclaimer of Ultimate Dodge Some of the above changes are still undergoing internal testing, and we may encounter critical issues that force us to postpone a change. We’ll keep you posted.<< Is this the get-out-of-jail-card you used when you deleted my rank 3 ironbanner?? After reading my hard-earned rank would be safe at least for the next event I was relieved briefly, only to find out that you went back on your word. Again. So from all the time I put into the last iron banner event you expect me to just accept the reward that I got to wear a cloak only a few ppl had access to for a few weeks and that's it? Now, if I want to get that cloak again I need to grind again from lvl 0?? Well guess what, I'm not going to do that. I am level 30 on 2 chars, lvl29 in the third, I depleted this games content and the "new" ironbanner was the only thing that kept me interested pre Dlc. You took that away. I feel bad that I preordered the Dlc.

  • Bungie please read this: me and my friends were just talking and you guys should really bring back the loot cave on earth it's not like we can get raid gear or shards out of it we just get a bunch of engrams and it's very fun and surprising farming getting different engrams and rubbing it your friends face when you get legendary a and 90% of the players are already level 20+ so getting legendary a is pointless to us we just need shards energy and raid gear and the loot cave doesn't give us that so please bring back. :)

    • Well adding enough light to hit thirty on iron banner defeats the purpose of getting raid armor and doing the raid when you can just hit thirty off iron banner armor

        • Thank Activision for ruining Destiny. Also the " Dark Below " and " House of Wolves " plus many other things were originally going to be in the normal game. These are DLC now because of Activision. Also did you know that there were originally more classes than what we have? Did you know that the Queen's brother has a name " Crow ". Crow was originally going to help you in missions like the Archive and he and many others were main characters in the storyline written by the original main developer. Did you know that Destiny actually had a DOPE STORYLINE? Also did you know that the lead developer left his job for Destiny possibly due to Activision pushing for making more money by making the original story into DLC? Did you know that almost ALL OF THE STORYLINE WAS GUTTED out and not used for whatever reason? Can I get a bump please, so that other people who CONSTANTLY COMPLAIN about Bungie can KNOW THE ACTUAL FRIGGING TRUTH? Thank you, bless you if you sneezed at all during the absorption of this knowledge.

          • Edited by Cole2999: 11/3/2014 1:14:56 AM
            Here's a bunch of ideas I've had for this game, as well as some fixes. General changes/additions: [spoiler] Larger vault. Preferably one you need to purchase and meet requirements for. It also should be a general storage, as I don't have a lot of armor, but I overflow with the shaders and emblems. Once a player has, for any Guardian, completed a story mission at least once, the cutscenes and dialogue for said mission can be skipped. If they're in a fireteam with players who have also already finished the current mission, instead of a skip, there's a "Vote to Skip" that will skip if all 3 players vote to. But if even one person hasn't completed the mission, no skip is available. This is also applicable to the dialogue during the mission start, when you're traveling in space/orbit. If you haven't noticed, the load times for these are very dynamic, with patrol missions taking 6-12 seconds, but some missions taking 30-40 seconds. The orbit time is based on dialogue that you've already heard, so it'd be nice to be able to skip it. Dynamic faction stock. For the factions of Dead Orbit, New Monarchy, and FWC, 4 new weapons per week. For Crucible and Vanguard, changing stats. I'm level 4 Vanguard, and want a Void Fusion Rifle, but I can't buy one from Vanguard, period. I'm only a level 2 Crucible, so I can't yet buy their Fusion Rifle. Selling equipment. [b]Not trading.[/b] this means a market amongst the community, but the prices cannot fluctuate much. I cannot stress enough how badly an unrestricted trade system would destroy this game. If it's a set price to buy something, it balances. And there are certain things that just shouldn't be allowed to trade. Raid gear, namely. If someone farms and gets thousands of glimmer, they shouldn't be allowed to simply just buy the best gear. If they plan on adding trading they better thoroughly test it. [b]All in all, I don't think that, should they implement a trading system, it will be what you expect. It'll also take a looong time to implement, and as such [u]don't wait around for it.[/u][/b] [/spoiler] Gameplay: [spoiler] More team-building game types and activities! This game is all about uniting to overcome the Darkness, so what the hell are we doing playing game types where the goal is mindlessly killing people? I want to see things like Capture the Flag, Deliver the Bomb, [i][b]Grifball[/i][/b], and probably something new; but definitely a wider range of options. With this game's setup, there's potential to do something [b][i]HUGE[/i][/b] in multiplayer, something new (or relatively). Like a 6v6 (or 3v3) where you're competing against a friendly team, competitively. So there's a universal goal, such as find and kill this Vex leader, or 100 Cabal, etc. On those same lines, a friendly competitive Defend the Point. Each team has a point, and each team gets their respective spawns that attempt to sacrifice themselves on the point. Least sacrifices at the end, or maybe once the other team hits a set number, wins. Could also do a LTS with this, with one central point. The difference is sacrifice doesn't matter, but death does. Endless wave. Or better yet, maybe just horde mode, with a cap. This opens the possibility to having a whole new set of gear, Horde Gear. Reaching the last wave would be like reaching Atheon. There's also multiple difficulties. And you get gear every, say, ten levels, but for every tenth level you can only get horde rewards once per week. So if you reach the 70th wave, reaching the 70th wave again that week will only reward you with standard Vanguard rewards. Also like the raid, it'd have a checkpoint every level. Each difficulty's rewards are independent of one another, and while the rewards increase in quality the harder it is, so do the enemies. So let's say the hardest Horde Mode enemy is level 30, and there's 100 waves. That means the enemies might increase by 1 level every 10 waves, with each wave in those 10 having progressively more difficult arrangements of enemies. Private matches. I really want to be able to play a private match with some friends. This would obviously be without rewards, and bounties, levels, and stats don't change. It'd be fun to just be able to casually play against friends. Along with private PvP matches... Private PvE? I want to be able to have a PvE lobby with more than 3 friends. Maybe have it be a full size lobby, which I believe is 12, and every enemy in the game scales insanely per person. It'd be spectacular to watch 12 guardians team up to take down a super-boss. And that's what I really want to see. It's one thing to coordinate 6 people to take down a boss (Atheon); it's another to have 12 take down one an even harder boss. Or better yet in this theoretical 12-person lobby, have both the health/difficulty [i]and[/i] sheer number of enemies scale. Mowing down 500 thrall on the Crota mission with friends? Hell yeah. More random events in the world. They don't need to be special, they don't need to have rewards (like public events); I just want to be zipping along on my sparrow when a captain drops in front of me. And increase the chance of a war occurring, when "The enemies are moving against each other..." appears. Basically, for a game whose loot system is entirely RNG, make more RNG events! [/spoiler] Cosmetic stuff: [spoiler] In-Tower Hangar. You can view your and others' ships in a 360 view. Would make use of the empty space in the hangar bay. Toggle-able helmet in Tower. Clicking right bumper while in the tower and your Ghost is out will toggle your helmet on or off. You worked hard to get your helmet, show it off! Toggle-able weapon display when inspected. Clicking the back button while highlighting one of your equipped weapons and your Guardian will then hold that category of weapons. So if I want to show off my Ice Breaker, I highlight and choose Special Weapons and then equip Ice Breaker. Now my Guardian holds an Ice Breaker. (Little addition to that... What if wielding Special Weapons meant when you play Crucible, you start out holding your Special Weapon.) [/spoiler] Fixes: [spoiler] Pulling equipment out of your Vault will occasionally label them as upgradable, even if maxed out. Please, for the love of Traveler, speed up the menu load time in Crucible! It's sometimes bad in PvE, but often in Crucible I wind up waiting 15-23 seconds to open it. Add that onto switching my exotic slot from Primary to Special, I'm waiting roughly 25-35 seconds for a simple swap. Disconnects. I know you're working hard to fix this ASAP, probably priority right now, but nonetheless it is still a problem. Whatever you did during the one update that was supposed to fix the problems with connections created new, different problems with connections. [/spoiler] [b]More buffs and nerfs![/b] Yes, I really just said that. I admit, I complain about the nerfs and buffs, but I also know they're 100% necessary (usually). [spoiler]The Vex Mythoclast was OP [i]in Crucible[/i]; however it should, in my opinion, be buffed over its original stats in PvE.[/spoiler] Every respectable new IP has to go through a buffer period where balance is worked out. I know most of you probably don't care, and actually hate it, but the fact is balance is one of the most important parts of a game. When all is balanced, they'll start adding in the features we want at a much faster rate. This is only a work in progress, guys! I want you to give me suggestions that [i]you[/i] think should be implemented! Leave a reply telling me what of my ideas you liked, or disliked, thought was possible or unlikely, or if you have something to add! Just please refrain from the immature behavior? It's not fun to listen to, nor is it productive in any way.

            • [quote][url=/en/News/News?aid=12318]Bungie Weekly Update - 10/24/2014[/url][/quote] My issue with thee iron banner is the fact it's only a week long. I understand you are making the bounties easier but instead of making it easier why not just make iron banner two weeks long. Most of my time spent on this game is on the weekends if I'm lucky so I only enjoy iron banner two days. Just a thought. Keep the bounties hard as they were but make iron banner longer :)

            • F U C K crucible, bro. I want more pve. Oh my gosh who is the trustiest blah blah blah who the -blam!- cares. Make the -blam!-ing Speaker tell me all of the -blam!-ing stories he said he could tell me. Then stop smearing shyt over all of the ships and for -blam!-s sakes at least let me do a -blam!-ing barrel roll while loading Skippy really needs me. Oh, yeah! Brahngie you gotta tell that -blam!-ing cryptarch to start giving me some purple engrams. Past 40-50 levels I got 6 purples. -blam!- your raid, brah. Tired of getting the same shit over and over. Shards and energies should NOT be a reward for defeating the Templar or Atheon that's just -blam!-ing bad. Here's an idea for crucible reward system(-blam!- crucible) every 10 games guarantee a blue engram. 30 games guarantee a purple. But -blam!- me, right?

              • Deej/bungie, I just got done with my friends doing the VoG, but we never completed it on normal difficulty. Know why? I don't know maybe because everything during the atheon fight is level 28 on a level 26 raid. Now, I understand you want it to be a challenge, but it's not even possible if my friends or myself are getting one-shotted by the hobgoblins in the Mars teleport and killed almost instantly by the Minotaur in the Venus teleport. Oh and let me not forget to mention the random teleporting is broken. It never seems to send 3 people so now we have to open the portal as quick as we can and go through because your teleporting system is so messed up. I thought your update was supposed to fix things. Not make the normal raid almost impossible for people below 28 on the atheon fight. I almost don't even want to do the VoG anymore. The atheon fight is just so broken for my friends and myself.

                • ATTENTION! ATTENTION!! THE DARK BELOW!!! Hey guys, I wanted to say something aloud here. A dream or ideal I have, I want to grasp you attention for the next five to ten minutes. Hopefully longer if you watch the video I posted along with my tale. I've been playing games for about 15 years. It all started when I was about six years old. I'd come to my grandmothers house, she had the Snes. Oh did I love that gaming console, Super Mario, Donkey Kong, and The Legend of Zelda. Those were only a few, but to tell you the truth despite being twenty years I could pick those games up right now and enjoy playing them. Those were quality video games, those game were someone's idea that they wanted others to see and be amazed. Now take a game from today, how many of you play a three year old xbox game? A few, but not many of you. I for one wouldn't play call of duty modern warfare if I had ghosts, would you? If I had super mario bros 3 or say super mario world though I would be at a crossroad. The thing I'm trying to get at here is that things aren't made with true quality anymore. Nothing is made with quality. How many of you use a 10 year old laptop? None. How many of you have been to a place that had a pinball machine from the fifties. I'd say quite a bit more than those of you who use a laptop from 2004. Every time a new iPhone comes out millions of people spend billions of dollars on it. Think of that, an iPhone comes out at least once a year. It's ridiculous, big corporations know that we as a whole make stupid choices based upon popular trends. I know I won't touch hardly anyone or change anyone's mind, but speaking to a community of people who have a similar interest that I do is more comfortable than blabbering to my friends and family. What I am getting at is, I want people to see the truth. The dark reality behind what is really happening to us as a whole. We are being shafted by the fat dick of the corporate pig. If someone cut you every time you walked near them. You wouldn't go near them again would you? If someone sold you a toy that broke in a day you wouldn't buy a toy from them again would you? It doesn't make sense to me, people buy new technology every day and every year just because they want it, their kids want it, their old one is broken, etc.. Why though? Why isn't their a company that says "hey, I have an idea. Let's make a phone that doesn't break in six months", "let's build a game that will become a cult classic", "let's build a quality product". I know why they won't, money. Say everyone didn't let the big guy shaft us for one day. One day, just one day. No one turned on their tv, xbox, or iPhone. Of we all just left that shit at home. Went outside, out with friends, or maybe see someone special. Think of how much money these big guys would lose. Billions upon billions of dollars. Just for twelve hours of your time. If days like that could be arranged we would have them at our feet instead of us at theirs. Why do you think destiny is so bad? Or not bad, but rather hollow. Don't you agree? Watch the video, that guy has his head on straight. We have been shafted by bungie, activision, or both of them. I don't know for sure, and neither does he but one of them has a big wallet. Please watch his video, please think about what I am saying, please boycott the dlc "the dark below" for destiny for at least 1 week. Let's show them we mean business and we want what we were shown. Not some cut and past garbage that they know the stupid ones will go and buy.

                • Really pleased with the game. It's a load of fun and Bungie is great. One thing I dislike, the PS4 exclusive content. The Xbox players are getting shafted, paying the same amount for less content. It's disappointing.

Not only does the raid constantly glitch and Atheon teleports random people, but I'm also always getting disconnected from your amazing servers coincidently everytime I am doing a mission or in the middle of a match. Keep up the good work because you guys are doing amazing things. P.S. F U

I look forward to many more hundreds of hours in your universe. (Even when things need adjusting). Again, Thank you for all of your hard years of work.
