Bungie can now retcon or hand wave the original material away. There goes what made D1 interesting.

Thoughts?

Perhaps his heart is in the right place, and he can only do so much, but can Bungie pull through? Will the higher ups call more bad shots? MTX got abused. How will the writing and lore be treated?
Edit 2: Stohl apologizes but doesn’t clarify. More vagueness. Also, despite all the likes, Bungie mods have buried this post to hide the flack they’re getting. Going to repost this.

Bearbeitet von Sturm with no Drang: 1/29/2018 1:37:43 AMBungie is the one of the very few companies that could say that they’re screwing their players’ loyalty, wallets and collective mothers [i][b]and[/b][/i] actually get away with it. I wouldn’t be mad about it if they at least managed to retain some of their old dignity from Halo. Shit dev team=shit company=shit game [spoiler]And yes, this has actually happened across multiple mediums.[/spoiler]

2 AntwortenDid you not pay attention pre-D2 launch when everyone's "favorite" employee Luke Smith called D1 and the Grimoire comic book 0 meaning the lore wasn't cannon but helped to set the world?

1 AntwortenBearbeitet von pxgq55a: 1/29/2018 1:21:05 AMLike the same BS that happened with Star Wars once Disney took the helm. Decades of EU canon gone. Lucas should have retained enough creative rights to keep the lore intact or handed that role over to his right hand man, Rick McCallum. But it was all wiped away for the sake of a cash grab and quick, churned out content who's sole purpose is to generate revenue. Same story here. Sad.

3 AntwortenI think Chris Barret is the only honest one who wants to fix this mess and not an arrogant ass like the rest of the staff at bungie (not all) but I truly think some have a god complex. The tweets from some are ridiculous, telling us about other games they are playing and nothing about destiny 2 and if you tweet them feedback about D2 they mute you. Who does that when you work for a company?

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von LadyDragoness12: 1/29/2018 3:45:10 PMWtf! Looks like they don’t want to expand on stuff and are too lazy to read their own lore.

man these guys lie through their teeth.

Because D2 is a hard reboot and they don't want to anything to do with D1. Except for whatever they can recycle into D2 and call it "new content." It's really frustrating. There was so much good shit wrapped up in those cards that would have been well worth the effort to expound upon.

3 AntwortenThe lore has always been kids level, the fans filled the gaps and were better than Bungies writers.

3 AntwortenPerfect...not only does Bungie want to water down current D2 content they also want to eradicate the things that were interesting about D1. Your failure is complete. Nicely done.

9 AntwortenBearbeitet von Balderdash1112: 1/28/2018 8:57:21 PMShe should be fired. She obviously doesn’t care about this game and is too stupid to realize that getting rid of grimoire is just going to make the community angrier. It blows my mind how stupid bungie is. How would they not know that this would make the community angry? Unbelievably stupid. STUPID! Anyone n this community could run the game better than the entire team at bungie. Bungie y?!??? I don’t understand y u would do this!!?!!? U know it would just make ur community resent u more?!? It absolutely blows my mind. Unbelievable. This lady is the stupidest person I’ve ever seen n my whole life. They should just give this game to a studio that can make it good. This is stupid i refuse to accept this. I don’t give a crap about bungies opinion. It is canon, bungie’s opinion and ideas r irrelevant. They don’t deserve to be making this game. They don’t have the right to do this. Margaret, u stupid greedy micro transactions lover, I don’t give a crap what u say, it is canon ur opinion doesn’t matter.

Barrett is on an impossible mission...too bad he has to clean up all the shit that is constantly squatted on him and his small team. I say burn the whole Bungie staff to the ground except the Live Team and let them create Destiny 3 instead of fixing the unfixable. You don‘t need 1000 people pissing in one bowl, we already know that fact. The bigger your team gets, the worse the product will be, we already know this fact too.

3 AntwortenThis is all a giant middle finger to the lore community, the fact that they made that abundantly clear after we get Byf's amazing video just seems sketchy. Like they see that it's a good idea, so to counter, they say the lore is a joke and that the video was irrelevant in the process. The lore, in D1, mainly came from dead ghosts, fragments of hive mementos, SIVA clusters, things that can be trusted as sources for information. Unless you want to tell me, Ghosts lie, Hive texts for the Hive to read is a lie, SIVA data is just a bunch of nonsense, and comics, made by seemingly no care for the world and politics of the situations they depict, are canon? The comics read as a retelling of what a Guardian said about all of it to a civilian who made a comic about it. It's full of stereotypes for the classes and it gets known facts just wrong that we knew previously. -blam!- this, it's just dumb, why not say it's all canon, but new details can come out to say, "hey, maybe what you read in the lore about this one specific thing can be interpenetrated in multiple ways." not "no, it's dead, don't bother looking it up, we killed it, read our comics"

1 AntwortenThe grimoire was interesting reading and it is quite annoying they removed it all.

3 AntwortenThat you don't know what folklore means. And that it's canon. Anyone who reads that tweet and thinks it means that the entire canon of Destiny was just thrown out...you need help.

1 AntwortenI remember when the lore people said, “get out of the lore forum with your Eververse shit!” You thought that you were insulated from Bungie’s greed and ignorance. So, you said, “leave us alone, go back to the feedback forum, you annoying assholes!” Nobody is safe from Bungie incompetence. Remember that.
