Thoughts on Bungie.next's impact.
It's been a whole year since Bungie.next hit us. I was there at the moment it launched and disliked it. I then receded into the background, never to be seen again. Or so I thought. I missed the community here, and so I'm back now. But, I need to know, did anyone else feel this way when B.next launched? Do you only stay for the community, or for Bungie as a whole? Do you think Bungie.next was a success or a flop? Thoughts in general about Bungie.next?

Honestly if they would bring back bars I wouldnt care. But why get everyone to work toward something than take it away?

1 Reply[quote] Do you only stay for the community, or for Bungie as a whole?[/quote] Both I suppose. [quote]Do you think Bungie.next was a success or a flop? Thoughts in general about Bungie.next?[/quote] B.next has some pros and cons to it. I prefer the #oldways myself, but being able to mute and notifications is great. Success or flop? I'm not sure. Has the traffic for the site decreased or increased?

I really love the app for my phone. I don't visit bungie.net on my pc since i got the app
-
The new layout -blam!-ing hurts my eyes to no end, I can only really browse and post on the iPhone app (which I am on now).

Yeah. People complained about missing bungie.old for a [i]very[/i] long time.

I have always thought that Bungie.net had a poor sense of community. Bungie.next seems worse than it was on the old site. On the old site when the mains were slow private groups were a good place to talk to your friends on, but since the change even private groups are dead. Is Bungie.next a success or a flop? I think it's too early to say, I'm curious to see what happens around here when Destiny is released.

It's as poor as it ever was.

I lurk for the people, not the site aesthetics.

2 RepliesI still dislike it, a year on. It basically killed the forums as we knew them, private groups took a massive hit, and DeeJ still hasn't given me my blue bar back yet.

If you ignore the fact that private groups got crushed, I've been enjoying the increased freedom of b.next. - Der

The community definately changed quite a bit. It seems like overall activity slowed.
-
So community-destroying and ill-thought-out that it makes my sphincter hurt.
-
I like it just fine, and I never gave up on it. It is a very good looking website, but I do miss b.old a little bit. Just the classic feel of it.

2 RepliesI preferred bungie.old. the notification system is nice though.
