      • people need to stop asking for raid matchmaking, WoW got the LFR, and thats essentially what bungie would be doing. Random groups on raids are mostly shit and Bungie knows that. They know that if they do add raid matchmaking it will get a ton of hate all on its own.

          • -- off topic -- As most of you core destiny players know, the Mida Multi-Tool is the best gun to use when farming because of the boosted movement speed. I have always thought that the compass looked cool but why not make the 'Exotic' live up to its name and put a use in for the compass? If the compass pointed to the chest area in a certain proximity it would make farming a little less like a drag and make the Multi-Tool fun to use. Cause let's face it.. Everybody knows the routes to farm, so it won't do any harm implementing it? That's just an idea of mine, any thoughts?

          • Seriously the random teleporting at Atheon has to go, that was not the original format so why add something that creates confusion to a already difficult task. Really unprofessional move on your part Bungie. I don't get on here and swear and threaten but I will express my disgust that my team only had a hour and we didn't finish Atheon on hard tonight because of this addition. Please reconsider this change it's really useless in the scheme of teamwork. P.S. do not reply with we want you all to learn how to run the relic, if that was the case then maybe we should all be the same class or maybe wear the same armor and the shoot the same guns, teams are made up of different elements with different tasks, would you expect a Bungie janitor to write code or sweep the floors ? - Pap3rGLocK

            • Guys... The only way Bungie/Activision is going to listen to anything is if people stop playing the game... I see a thousand people complaining and then just jumping back onto the game. If you truly want to be heard, do it silently like me and just don't play. That or sell it. Get at least a little bit of money back from this frustration filled game. Cod is around the corner (less than a week) and the division already is shooting insults at destiny saying its going to be "a better and more robust game then destiny ever will be" so if you want to be heard? Or at least get your point across? Just stop playing...

              • U have no idea how mad I am that they wasted their time to patch athein faking off the map when they cud do so many more things. And I guess we will have to pay for all new content, the events will just all be recycled old events with current difficulties

                    • [Rant\] I love how Destiny's adventures were supposed to be able to set me apart from others in terms of accomplishments... But how is my Guardian supposed to stand out when I have the same options as others? For example, I've gone through Vault Of Glass four times on each difficulty. Earnings From VOG: -27 Ascendant Energy -21 Ascendant Shards -1 "Glass Minuet" Ship -1 Titan Class Item -3 Chatterwhite Armor Shaders -0 Raid Gear -1 Legendary Weapon from Faction: Dead Orbit -------------- My k/d in Crucible isn't the worst, and my point value per game isn't terrible either. Yet finishing in First or Second I earn nothing, but a bottom rung player that gets 5 kills and 20 deaths is given a Blue Engram? ------- So far the only thing that let's me stand out is my Emblem and Grimoire Score, and even then the Grimoire Cards are lacking in this "pertinent back story" I'm trying to delve into, but I am finding it harder and harder to try and find enthusiasm for it. ------- [b]The Speaker[/b] is a shit-tier NPC to go to for anything but items, like ALL THE OTHER NPC's. His place could easily be taken up by another robot ("Frame") and I wouldn't know the difference. Give him some engaging dialog! Maybe a "Mass Effect-like" dialog box where I can learn about a storyline to this game, or something that draws me into this universe OTHER THAN going through a 2nd or 3rd Party site like "Destiny Planet Viewer". That sucks. I've walked away with better stories being deployed in Africa. At least I knew what the point was for me being out there. ------ Whatever pact you made with RNGsus, you guys got bamboozled. My fights against RNG have been harder than the ones against Atheon! [b][u]It's like having sex with a cheese-grater.[/u][/b] It's that enjoyable. -------- [b]One last thing. [/b]These lazy -blam!-s in Strikes that sit there while other gamers do the work. Give us options to report them to you for penalization, or allow us to screen-capture end scores to send to you guys to get them a Temp.-Ban on the Destiny Servers. It is, again, as enjoyable as having sex with a cheese-grater. [b]Deej[/b], keep doing what you do. [/Rant]

                      In the next update, very much players and I are badly wanting a buff on the Thorn and Bad Juju. Here are the buffs we want and the reasons why we want them. Bad Juju Buffs: - Either increased damage or 3-6 more bullets to the mag - A bonus small chance instant reload (even without getting a kill) but still a garenteed instant reload with a kill. Reason: This gun is only effective against low level basic enemies, even when it is fully upgraded. This gun is absolutly HORRIBLE against any other enemies or gaurdians. If this gun got a higher damage boost it would be a much more reliable gun with fighting other enemies or gaurdians, but if you are not to raise the damage then please raise the magazine size because 15 bullets cant get anything done unless, like I said, you're against low level enemies. If these buffs were to be added, this gun can be beleived of being an exotic, and it would make my experience in Destiny much much much more better! Even though this weapon is not nearly as good as most exotics, it is still my favorite weapon in the game. Thorn Buffs: - a MUCH higher reload speed - and just maybe 1 or 2 more bullets to the mag please :) Reason: Don't get me wrong, I love this weapon but it just can't get the job done in some situations. The weapons low magazine is acceptable but the VERY slow reload speed is what makes me drift away from this weapon onto a weapon like the Red Dearh or even the Bad Juju. I think I take more time reloading than actually shooting the weapon. It would be very nice if this weapon's reload was increased! :) Thanks for listening!

                      • Ok i just wanted to get the issues I've been having off my chest like everyone else. I have crappy internet, i dropped more times then i wanted before the new update. But now i can't even play Destiny, everytime i go into a crucible or even go to the tower i drop. I payed for this game and i can't even play it. I know things take time and you guys didn't intend for these problems to happen. But this is just ridiculous. I have a raid team of friends i go to school with and we had everything planned out to do vault of glass the day after the update. Of course we couldn't because of the update. Please get this fixed and please let us know what's going on, and if there is a good explanation I'm missing out on can someone reading my rant tell me, I'd really appreciate it. I absolutely love this game and would love to start playing it again in my spare time. Thanks for whoever took the time to read my comment. If i knew you personally i would give you a cookie ^-^

                          • [quote]Dear Bungie, Destiny simply isn't what I expected. I've had great respect for the work you guys do from the first time I played Halo with my friends, and I followed the Destiny buildup until its release with edge-of-my-seat anticipation. To me, there's no story more compelling than that of humanity's very survival, and no pursuit more noble than fighting for the preservation of our species. It's what drew me to Halo, and what drew me to Destiny. It's teams of artists such as yourselves, who recognize the inherent nobleness of this concept and seek to bring it to millions, that inspire me, that give me something to look forward to after a long day at the office, that offer me the chance to escape a reality where the difference I make is marginal at best, and enter a reality where I have the chance to make a difference that feels like it matters, if only for a couple of hours every night. You brought me that sense of purpose and inspiration with Halo. But I don't feel this anymore. In Destiny, with a full loadout of legendary and exotic gear and having played through the full story, experiencing what the Crucible has to offer, battling my way through countless strike missions, finishing every bounty 100 times over, and exploring the complete extent of every map, I'm...bored. But it's worse than being bored. I don't feel anything. I've stuck with the game all these hours, whole days, desperately seeking to feel what I expected to when I first read about Destiny so many months ago. It isn't there. Although I initially thought that the lack of story was the problem, I've come to realize that the lack of story is only the tip of the iceberg. It's the part that's visible, that every Guardian who's also searching for that sense of purpose and fulfillment in Destiny can readily point to and say "That must be it". And it's a very valid concern. But the core problem with Destiny runs much deeper. The core problem, as far as I see it, is that you're utterly alone in the game. I'll attempt to expand as best I can. The reason the raid works so well (and is arguably the most successful part of the entire Destiny endeavor) is that it requires massive amounts of teamwork. It provides, upon beating Atheon, a sense of reward and togetherness that no other part of the game currently gives you as a player. I feel as though the team at Bungie would like to bring this experience to the wider majority of the game, but is confused as to how to do so, or is otherwise very conflicted as to how to go about doing so. I want to assure you that doing this would be exceptionally easy, and would make Destiny the game you want it to be and the game that we, the players, want it to be. My suggestions operate on the assumption that most Destiny players care about the notion of fighting for humanity. It is the premise of the entire game, the reason anyone who enjoys PvE wanted to become a Guardian in the first place. With that in mind, Bungie needs to begin addressing the issue of feeling alone in the game by giving players a shared experience outside of the raid. Sure, if you have enough friends with the game, you can link up a fireteam and do some of the same 4 strikes (now a staggering 5 strikes for only $19.99 on Xbox) you've done 5,000 times over, but the only emotional appeal to this is that you're doing something with your friends for a while, until you get bored, and let me assure you, killing the Archon Priest for the zillionth time is boring - boring enough that the friends I used to play with have quit the game. I feel that many can relate to this situation. In order to make your players feel something deeper and continue to invest in Destiny, we need to be able to actually fight for the very survival of humanity. Other people have left comments regarding this, and I'm mirroring their ideas and sentiments and not claiming them as my own, though I've had the very same thoughts as them for some time now. Bungie needs to actually put humanity on the brink. As Guardians, we need to be able to get an alert from The Tower while we're out collecting Spinmetal that The City is under a massive attack by The Fallen. We need to be able to see all the players around us disappear, heading to orbit just like we are, mashing our controllers to take us all back to defend The City. Upon arriving, we need to see droves upon droves of enemies marching to the walls, and have a way to get out in front of the walls to fight them in the plains before they reach the gates (troop transport ships on a loop that fly you over the city and drop you into battle, anyone?). We need to see dozens of other Guardians fighting tooth and nail to defend the last bastion of humanity alongside us, and we need this on at least a weekly basis. These kind of encounters can play out all over the solar system, and last a day at a time, giving many players the chance to enter the fight. Ground must be gained and lost, territories threatened, The City seen teetering on a precipice before you and your fellow Guardians prevail (or don't, which leads to many other, ridiculously interesting options for the game, and opportunities to fight for what is lost). Again, I don't claim such ideas and sentiments as my own, but I wanted to articulate them here in the hopes that someone with a voice inside Bungie HQ might raise these ideas that I very much believe thousands of players yearn for. If ideas like this were baked into the game, this crippling sense of solitude that one often feels while playing would effectively disappear, because we'd all be fighting for something together - something tangible, that we could see and feel and believe in. While you, Bungie, continue to release patches nerfing hard-earned exotic weapons, killing loot caves, restructuring the raid to prevent players from beating it with human ingenuity, and announcing DLC content that is quite honestly very lackluster and addresses none of the deep, even psychological ineptitudes within the Destiny universe, I assure you that even if the current numbers say otherwise, you are not building a 10 year franchise. Or a 5 year franchise. I'll be curious to know what those numbers reveal once other games are released through the holiday season. Somehow, I don't think they'll be very promising. Not considering what you gave us at launch, and how little you continue to give us. Destiny was a promise of something incredible that never was and still isn't. It could still become that, but my hope is waning, and that's a real shame, because this world you made for us, this repetitive, empty world - it's very pretty. Thanks for your time. I hope I get the chance to thank you for your efforts in the future.[/quote]
