      "We build bridges" what's burning bridge shaped wreckage? Oh yeah, it's an important bridge you just burned with the latest update. A lot of players voiced a negative opinion on the latest patch, nope, got through anyway. Burned bridge.

      • I never had connection problems with destiny until i updated it.....your "fixs" actually broke my game.....I am constantly getting kicked from missions, sikes and even raids?!?! It sucks when you are doing the raid and all of a sudden it says connecting to destiny's servers and then i have to choose my character again -.- for real? Then i get 3 "jackolytes" i use one so i can have a pumpkin on my head -.- it puts nothing....absolutely nothing on my head. so it sucks to suck i guess.

            I was wondering why none of the primary exotic weapons have elements like the Thorn (seriously 500 void kills should equal a void weapon) and the Hard Light (blue bullets make me think Ark damage) hell even The Last Word (seems like it should do Solar also smaller hip fire reticle please) although from how the rest fire they seem fine without elements it just seems odd that Raid primary weapons have elements but not exotic? I was also wondering what the story on the "unknown patron" exotic bounty was is it available when the DLC comes out or what because I've gotten and completed like 13 - 20 exotic bounties (13 minimum) but have yet to see this one is it PS exclusive or something? (I have everything but the Fate of all fools obviously, Mida Multi Tool, Red Death, Patience and Time and the PS exclusive weapons only bought Truth and Suros Regime) (armor wise I still need 1 warlock chest plate and Helmet the Hunter gauntlets and 1 Titan Helmet) Another thing I want is the Pocket Infinity to be fixed I understand the 8 mag was a little overkill (even though it's very unstable while in full auto and each shot does less damage) but 3 is just not enough It's surprising how much of a difference one or two extra charges makes so if it could be increased either by default to 4 or 5 that would be amazing or put enhanced battery back on and have it at 6 max (because double) but I often used the Pocket Infinity on bigger enemies in PVE (tried PVP wasn't stable enough to do much also the damage falloff was strong but good) but basically I loved that thing just because it was fun to fire a (larger than 3) Fusion Rifle mag in less than 5 seconds but if it is given a bigger mag maybe drop damage or make the charge time longer I don't know I just miss the fun I had with it. (also buff Thorn and Bad juju) I almost forgot can we get some way to increase our inventory like maybe buy packs from Xur (I like to hoard all my Exotics on one character I also main PVE) to increase primary by 3 slots Helmet by 3 etc and we pay ascendant energy/shards for what we want to increase and it costs more for each one we buy (or each one in that category Example buy one 3 slot primary weapon increase and next primary, secondary, or heavy will cost more) and starting price would be maybe 15 - 25 Shards, Energy, Motes, or Coins.(increase by 5 for each one bought)

          • Another reason why people quit "Iron Banner" is not because they were losing it was do to an incredible amount of blatant cheating that was going on. A personal example was I emptied 2 magazines worth of Suros Regime ammo into a enemies head just to watch as he turned around and killed me with a single shot of his scout rifle. My friend landed a trip mine on another enemy's head not just to survive that, but to survive 2 shotgun torso shots at point blank. These 2 events happened in games at the start of "Iron Banner" and what we noticed was a lack of support from bungee about stopping these people, but instead helping these people more and more. All I ask is you improve your anti-hack/cheating programs to insure a fairer game all around. Thanks for your time, MidgardtoHelheim (pan)

            • So I get to pay you money now but you are going to hold a portion of my content that I PAID for, for a YEAR? Just one good explanation if its for a good reason i'll understand. Follow up question can you give me the content now then ill pay you for it in a year? No? I wonder why that is not as appealing as getting the money now?

              • Ok bungie, so I've been very on the fence about this game for a while now. I've sunk a lot of hours into it because the gameplay mechanics are very good and there aren't many co op games on ps4 yet. However I think this is it. I'm bored of crucible. I'm bored of the strikes, the awful storyline and the broken raid. I only logged in for xur, weeklies, nightfalls and raids but after being disconnected from the raid 3 Times and then being unable to join. I... Give up. I can't be bothered anymore. I'm not going to buy your dlc, I'm NEVER going to buy an Activision game ever again, and unless bungie gets a 9 or a 10 on their next game I won't even consider them. So yeah, I hope cutting out dlc from your game and alienating your community was worth it. You've lost out on potentially hundreds of pounds I'd have spent on your games. And I know I'm not the only one. It was good while it lasted. Roll on Dragon age.

                  • So I was soloing the nightfall strike because none of my friends were online. I tried doing it with my level 26 void walker and the entire time I feel like the double jump for the warlock is incredibly impractical and not useful like it should be. I got all the way to the end and I missed a jump that I wouldn't have had I been a Titan or hunter! I know because I completed the nightfall with my Titan! Of course I was pushed back to orbit. If bungie ever gets around to reading this guys please improve the warlocks double jump from being a slow declining escalator to an inclining escalator that's a bit faster!

                  • So I put some thought into the update for "iron banner " and it's still the same thing just easier to level up. People level 2 can still join so long as they have a friend over level 20 so right there in a way they avoided making it so that they are still weaker. Which is what iron banner is about making sure low levels feel the wrath of the iron banner

                  • In regards to the Iron Banner, and specifically the armour, I love the change. Having another option - other than the Raid - to get level 30 gear is great! But I'm a little confused on how you get it... Can it only be purchased from Lord Saladin, or is there a chance this will be a post-game reward too?

                    • I finally got it. I've been trying to figure out where the best place to put the grimoire cards so that players get more information on the game because there is so much good info out there. You should have the grimoire cards that the player has unlocked layover the loading screens! Then instead of just staring at your craft slowly floating about, you get amazing information on the game while waiting to go to your next destination. If this is not the best idea ever, I don't know what is.

                      • I recently entered the codes that give you a bunch of free grimoire cards and emblems. I used one of the emblems I got and while doing the weekly strike I got all my ammo refilled. Primary and Heavy were both empty. But I also had jackolyte on. Hidden buff maybe?

                        • That's it? No matchmaking? I still haven't completed the vault of glass, and before some troll or fanboy decides call me a whiner, I say how am I whining? I mean this forum is solely meant for this purpose, so they can improve the game. I don't have a raid team worth of friends to run the vault effectively and without matchmaking or even some type way to have dialogue with other players in game, I can't enjoy the game as much as I would like. It's a fun game but come on now we're asking for some really basic things. Matchmaking and/or proximity chat. Come on help a bro out, please bungie.

                          • Edited by Darkrobe: 10/29/2014 5:03:27 PM
                            As a avid gamer (I've been playing games now for over 30yrs), I have enjoyed the story of Destiny so far and was saddened to see it end at level 20, which had me anticipating the evolution of the game. However, since that time I have been entirely disillusioned with the game and am frustrated at its primary focus as a PvP enterprise and not on the things that sold me on what to start playing it for, which I thought was a story as a FPS. Essentially, for us parents out there where playing a game is a way to unwind after a long day of work and toil, this game is essentially not for those people who want to play on their own as schedules don't mesh with other friends to meet online to do raids or fireteams. Sorry, but I run my own business and in doing so, I often work 6 or 7 days a week and am lucky if I have a few hours to spare before bed in which case if I am to spend it playing Destiny, it better be worth my time. Unfortunately, from what is posted today; it is not & here is why. 1. Currently, the Crucible is meant for any class other than a Hunter as my grenade throws barely take the shields down and by the time I am firing with my scout rifle, it seems I am already dead from their auto rifles or shotguns. Not a lot of fun dying all the time. My maxed out sniper rifle is useless in the crucible, by the time I get lined up to kill a guardian in zoom, someone else has come up behind me to ensure I never get a shot off because there's no radial warning to indicate that I am in trouble. My shotgun and fusion rifle are useless as well, I can't take the damage close up to use the shotgun and the rifle takes too long to charge up to fire a shot. My heavy weapon is great, but then again there's never enough heavy weapon ammo dropping during these matches to make it worthwhile to use and at 950 glimmer per use for it makes it rather unaffordable for the long term. 2. On top of that, I really hate PvP; I am NOT interested in this part of the game. At all. Ever. I have only started doing some of these because of the damn exotic weapon Bounty for the Depleted Hand Cannon came in last week. I even went "wow, that's cool", until it progressed to the Crucible part; then I started swearing. Like "WTH?!", I just did the first mission, then killed 500 hive, now you want me to kill 500 guardians using void damage and you decrease those kills against my deaths? Well, sorry to say but my special weapons SUCK for this SHIT. What's the point of having an exotic bounty if I can never complete it!? The more I think about it, I think I'll just abandon this thing because I know it's a mired bounty of frustration for me. 3. On top of that, I am stuck in levelling up my armour & weapons because the shards & energy needed to do so just don't drop in Crucible or regular game play in patrol or strike matches. Yup, real incentive to keep playing there. 4. Raids that need you to get 6 people together. Great, if you don't have a freaking life or kids. Sorry, but most of us working adults have jobs that need us up at 6am which means bed the night before by 10pm. Oh, our kids go to bed at 9 if we're lucky. Weekends, hard to say but as I mentioned I work, a lot. Not only do I not know 5 other people playing this game, much less 5 other adults that even have the time to spend playing this part of the game, it is now something that is UNATTAINABLE to me. Provide all the great gear and stuff you want, but because of our circumstances, you've locked out this part of your players who fall into this area. We'll never get to see it, nor have a chance to play something on our own with similar rewards. 5. You touched on making it meaningful to your players. I want to let you know what I absolutely love about this game, which is the music and art. I bought the game in a limited edition pack for my PS4. I play on a 64" plasma TV with 7.1 surround sound. I hate the Hive missions, why you may ask? Because it's freaking creepy and gloomy, with the sound system you can hear everything and to tell you the truth, it's awesome! Very few games have that experience to do that to a person. I love the scenery and art, it's SO detailed! I love looking for dead ghosts, I refuse to look on the web to find out where more are because I want to discover them for myself in the game and am ecstatic when I do & I generally go check out the card shortly after finding it. I am working on my second hunter subclass to get both fully achieved, hoping there's a reward for that. 6. I like the mini missions in patrol, because it means I don't leave a strike team high and dry if I have to run suddenly from the game because you can't pause it. Some days I can only play for 20min, other days a few hours, I never know because that is what life is like. I like the public events in patrol, as well since it means you can have an impromptu group however the rewards for those need to be reworked to ensure that if you participate you're guaranteed a reward of some kind. Think you can make some special patrol missions that give exclusive rewards, like making the beacon blue & red for the types of missions they are and ramp up the rewards for each type? I.e. green is a 5min mission, blue 10min, red is 15min? Look at my patrol kills, they outnumber my story and strike kills 2:1 & 3:1 respectively (I won't even mention my crucible kills as they are inconsequential to my game play), it is obviously apparent where I spend my time (and perhaps many others) in the game. So from what has been posted by Bungie so far, as I mentioned above, unfortunately the conclusion is that for the types of gamers similar to myself, we are unfortunately wasting our time playing this game because the focus for future development is for an entirely different game style and playing format; which is a shame really. Time to go back to playing Diablo & Starcraft I guess.
