Good post. Agree for sure about Templar and the darn drops.

Agreed, and BUMP

really great post, sums it all up perfectly!

Bump

I dismantled about two exotics now because they just take up room. They should make an option so you can either use and Exotic Shard or something like 30 Ascendant Energy

well said

You deserve a better game, hope you find it but in all honestly it's just a boring generic space FPS just a halo with a few more guns that sound and act the same.

You claim lag, yet, it always happens when the praetorian is on the steps. Last night, 4 separate times, I watched it happen. One of the times, I was at the top of the steps, threw my trip mine, and stuck him, the Warlock with me hit him with his fusion grenade dead center, then right after our grenades hit, the relic holder slammed him. We all saw him fall. All of us. Then, as if by magic, he stood up, and one hit killed our relic holder. It always happens on the steps. It happens so often that the groups I run with tell everyone to draw him away from the steps, so he doesn't regen. If it's lag, it's the steps that cause the lag......for everyone inside the portal.

Lag can happen anywhere in the game. Has a tendency to happen in the raid more because it is trying to sync 6 players to the same game. It sucks don't get me wrong, and even with powerful connections the issue is usually on bungie's servers' end. But trust me the pretorians do not have a secret ability that restores their health. It's just the lag deceiving you into thinking you were doing damage. Then it catches up.

Just don't!

Even if it is lag it is a consistent raid wiping problem that shouldn't be occurring. It doesn't matter why Vault glitches happen it matters that they happen and happen consistently. The Raid should be the tightest thing in the game and it isn't at all. Yet they continue to focus on exploits rather than things that stop players from completing content. Would you rather have too many people completing the content by finding ways to "game" the system or legitimately skilled players failing at the content do to circumstances outside of their control.

That's not a question.

Bump.

Long but well said, bump from me. Destiny employees, I agree with fixing exploits and making things balnced, with that, you have to fix your mistakes and unbalancing in the game as well. There's enough of you guys, stop dishing out new stuff and fix what's already here, just like you fixed atheon and tenplar, you can fix the rest, cmon

Yeah, one ain't coming because it would have to be a truthful answer.

[quote]Just in case you don't take the time to read my post, but might here: Deej - I'm here to answer questions. Prove it! So this patch is absolutely worthless! So disappointed in the developers at Bungie. All style, no substance. Exotics: So we have to buy an upgrade from Xur to max out an exotic? How is this an improvement? Oh, I forgot we can just dismantle unwanted exotics, this is a joke since exotics are near impossible to get unless you buy from Xur, so again how is this an improvement? Exotics are stupid for the most part anyway, most legendaries are better. Yay, you buffed and nerfed some weapons based on people complaining on the forums! Do you not the read the complaints about all the other issues you have in this game? Screw the exotics and buffs/nerfs. What we really need is you to address is the raid! Oh yes, you did! The raid patches are AWESOME! You fixed Atheon teleporting the wrong number of people. YAY! I will believe this when I see it. How about ALL the other problems with the raid? The regenerating health/shield Paerorian on Venus portal. Did you fix that? Nope! Hard mode players who get teleported and are in a detention bubble. Did you fix that? Nope! Relic shield bubble that allows players to still die inside of the protection. Did you fix that? Nope! The incredibly broken loot system that provides you with nothing but Chatterwhite or materials for beating your toughest challenge. Did you address that? Nope! You addressed nothing important, but “fix” the Templar so he can’t be pushed, so a two minute fight has increased to be a five minute pointless fight. Good job! You are really pushing the envelope now! Groundbreaking! You got my money upfront for the expansion/dlc, so shame on me, but how many people will still support this game in the future when you won’t fix legitimate issues in this game? I love Destiny! I have given it over 700 hours of time, but that doesn’t change the fact that you need to fix these issues. These are just the ones you “addressed” in this patch, but doesn’t include the multitude of other issues that the community brings to your attention. For example, what about the fact that you can receive less of a reward from the nightfall strike than you can from the weekly strike (i.e. 5 or 7 strange coins as compared to 9 from weekly), what about grimoire cards that won’t unlock, what about the option for matchmaking for the raid (personally, I don’t like this, but your customers want it), what about the fact that there is no real purpose to mess with the vendors because they sell nothing of consequence (I mean really, the Cryptarch sells only white and green engrams??? WTF? How does anyone over level 12 need to buy anything from him?) Make the vendors relevant even if it cost something outrageous! You have the framework for the greatest game ever, but you are squandering it away by not fixing the real problems in the game. The raid should be the thing that makes this game memorable, but you are patching exploits and not fixing actual problems. If someone wants cheese let them have it! How does it hurt anyone? I don’t care one way or the other, personally I like a fight! I have no Mythoclast or helmet because I didn’t do the hard mode cheese. I want to earn it, but that doesn’t mean it is the most pressing issue you need to fix. Your Templar “patch” will most likely result in more glitches to that boss battle. So “fixing” one will only create more. Not to mention, someone will figure out another way. They always do. Crota’s End will have exploits and glitches because you will not have put in the time for them either. You are to busy buffing/nerfing things to appease the masses, but you need to fix legitimate problems. I am sure I am a dog howling in the wind, but if more people would howl about real problems and less about nerf this and buff this, we might actually have an amazing game. Ok, community, give your hate because we know it is what you do best, but I wrote this to try and get us a better gaming experience, not as a whine. I love Destiny! I want it to be the best it can be, hopefully you do as well and we speak up for real change and not nerfs/buffs. Peace.[/quote]true dat! I love the raid. Thats all i have left to do is get the fatbringer an foil! It has been bad for awhile. Lmfao. Let's give um ship shaders instead!

yet another BUMP given

Now we wait to see if Deej will answer this. Glad this many people have responded to such an important topic. Keep it up.
