Bungie no longer has any kind of excuse....
It was announced that Patch 5 for Dragon Age Inquisition has entered the Beta Phase and it is a SHINING beacon of how a developer is SUPPOSED to treat their community and how a developer is SUPPOSED to address community feedback.
Dragon Age has been out for LESS time than Destiny.
Yet the forums have been alight with unanimous requests for certain things.
[b][u]The Community asked Bioware to bring back "The Black Emporium" from Dragon Age 2.[/u][/b]
Why?
Simply put The Black Emporium was a black market for the player to get special gear and and other items for their character and people wanted to see a return of such a place.
Bioware's response?
[quote]- The Black Emporium: A mysterious underground shop owned by an immortal proprietor which appeared in the previous game via DLC. Here, the Inquisitor can purchase items such as epic weapons, powerful accessories, new crafting materials and schematics to add to the Inquisition.
[/quote]
They are gonna add it to the game in Patch 5.
[b][u]The Community kept talking about and requesting a way to alter their characters appearance in game.[/u] [/b]
Why?
The lighting in the Character creator can't 100% show how a character would look in the countless different lighting situations the game has. People (myself) included found a flaw or two in their character in certain lightings and had no way of fixing it.
Bioware's response?
[quote]- Mirror of Transformation: It is found inside the Black Emporium which also appeared in the previous game. It will enable the player to change facial appearance and voice in “Dragon Age: Inquisition.”[/quote]
They are gonna add it to the game in Patch 5.
[b][u]The Community was upset that there was not a real storage option to help them keep gear or share gear between their characters.[/u][/b]
There was no storage chest so you had to carry everything on you at all times. On top of that there was no way to share gear between your characters.
Bioware's Response?
[quote]- Undercroft Party Storage: BioWare will add a party storage located at the Undercroft of Skyhold, allowing players to keep items for later use.[/quote]
Also being added to Patch 5.
ALL OF THIS IS BEING ADDED FOR FREE AND IS BEING DONE AT THE REQUEST OF THE COMMUNITY
That is not EVEN counting the patches that has come before this one that has fixed countless bugs and balanced numerous abilities.
THIS is how a Developer is meant to treat and listen to their community.
THIS is how a Developer is meant to support the game when they get things wrong.
To the people who constantly feel the need to defend Bungie and the way they treat this game and their community.
To the people who constantly say "Programming these kinds of things takes time!"
Where is that logic in this situation?
Bioware has a smaller overall team working on Dragon Age.
Smaller overall community for Dragon Age
Smaller overall Budget for Dragon Age
Dragon Age has been out for LESS time
Dragon Age Sold alot less than Destiny.
Yet they have no problem pumping out patches and fixes that their community wants and that their game needs.
What is your excuse Bungie?
You have no shortage of community feedback yet you seem completely blind to our existence.
We already HAVE a storage system and simply want more space. Bioware are going to add a storage space FROM SCRATCH and have had LESS time to do it.
There are still bugs in the VoG that has existed for the LENGTH of the game, and yet you still have not fixed them.
THIS is NOT how a Developer is meant to treat and listen to their community.
THIS is NOT how a Developer is meant to support the game when they get things wrong.
So I will ask again.
Whats your excuse Bungie?
[b][u]Upvote this if you think that this community and this game deserves to be treated in a similar manner[/u][/b]
[b][u]EDIT: Over 650 upvotes and its not "trending" ..........hmmm.......how curious[/u] [/b]

65 RepliesEdited by Esperino: 2/26/2015 1:50:54 AMWhat the hell you talking about man? Bungie are doing a bang up job. [b][u]Community requests more vault space to store their growing collection of weapons and armour.[/u][/b] Why? Simply put, 20 slots in a vault per armour, weapons and items shared between 3 characters isn't adequate given the different equipment players want to keep for PvE and PvP modes. Some weapons are situational and only required during certain raids and events. The sheer amount of materials take up half the slots for items alone. Bungie's response? [quote]"Character inventory screen now displays faction reputation and weekly mark counters."[/quote] [b][u]The Community kept requesting for the multiple bugs in the Crota's End raid to be fixed, including but not limited to disappearing swords, Crota glitching and dessimating a raid team. Certain bugs make the encounter unplayable and frustrating at best.[/u][/b] Bungie's response? [quote]Removes as many cheeses as they can stuff into a [url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Hot-Fix---01122015/en/News/News?aid=12485]"Hot Fix"[/url], effectively adding new glitches and unexpected behaviours to the encounter which they are still yet to address.[/quote] [b][u]Community requests a simple 'skip' button to skip past a cutscene instead of reliving it every single time you redo any mission with a cutscene attached to it.[/u][/b] Bungie's response? [quote]We've [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/News/News?aid=12557]looked at the numbers[/url] and the community uses Auto Rifles too much so we've tuned weapons, despite the community at large not requesting or asking for said change.[/quote] [b][u]Community are outraged with Xur no longer selling Exotic Engrams. What are we going to do with all these Motes of Light? Buy legendary class items? Seriously? [/u][/b] Bungie's response? [quote][url=https://twitter.com/deej_bng/status/540846908684529664]DeeJ responds[/url] on December 5th, 2014 stating Exotic Engrams will be on offer at a "sporadic basis".[/quote] February 26th, 2015 nearly three months later and the patch note reads: [quote][url=https://www.bungie.net/7_Destiny-Update---02252015/en/News/News?aid=12607]"Fixed an issue in which Xur did not carry exotic engrams in inventory on certain dates". [/url][/quote] So you're calling it an "issue" now? An issue that existed for 3 months without a fix or update? Seriously Bungie, don't treat the community like idiots and pretend it was a problem all along. It was deliberate and you should take ownership for the decisions you make. If you want to foster a healthy relationship with the Destiny community, you need to step up your game and treat us with much more respect.

Bungie is a piece of hot steam pile of crap , can you smell what bungie is cooking?

Damn bungie where are your patches and updates!?! I mean the new ones not the 20+ you already put out.

You forgot option three in your poll which is I think this entire post was a waste of my reading time or simply "I disagree"

1 ReplyI laugh at anyone who says bungie is a good dev.

Bump.

3 RepliesIt isn't Bungie moron its Activision, Activison is the reason for 90% of the -blam!- ups in this game but Bungie takes the blame. Activison has all the money and power so Bungie has to do what they say because if it wasn't for Activison the game wouldn't of been made so they have all the say in this, don't be a moron and blame Bungie with false information

The developers are keeping working on it, they just need more time.... Say the vault space, they need at least 1 month to think about it, and 2 months to work on it This is bungie :) More bungie game? NOPE

Day one player here. Game has become very stale and boring. The lack of content is the problem.

1 Reply[quote] THIS is how a Developer is meant to treat and listen to their community. ][/quote] Nope. That's how they choose to operate. Bungie is under no obligation to cater to every last whim the playerbase feels entitled to.

1 ReplyI like this. Talking a lot of sense.

4 RepliesOne question, is dragon age 3 an online game? Or is it a stand alone one? Cause there's your reason right there.

18 RepliesEdited by Cropcord: 2/26/2015 3:23:26 PMYea, but Dragon Age Inquisition is boring as shit. I couldn't play that shit pile even after about 10 different attempts. Not to mention that Inquisition is the 3rd installment in that series. You are comparing Part 3 against a completely different type of game that is brand new

1 ReplyMuted. More whiny crap. YOU are what's wrong with Destiny. Bungie is doing more for this game and its community than anyone. Just because they don't jump up and add every little request that gets spammed in the forum? Grow up. Get a life.

I don't think it's that they didn't listen, but they listened to the wrong people. Not surprised though, since now they are affiliated with Activision and the same thing has been going on for years with call of duty. Instead of focusing on the glaring issues, such as glitches and connection problems, they went the politicians route and diverted attention by worrying about "cheeses". Also, why were maps removed from pvp? That was completely unnecessary, but another example of listening to the wrong people. There was nothing wrong with the maps and added much needed diversity.

Edited by icedurth: 2/27/2015 5:45:23 PMYou complainers and conspiracy nuts are hilarious. Yes, the moderators are keeping it off tending because you've damaged this game so badly with this post. Where's the justice? Get a life, holy crap

Clearly there is no difference between a solo-player game played console-side and a multiplayer game, with 3 million users, played sever-side. Certainly the fact that one has no balance requiring PVP elements while the other does plays no role in the difficulty of patching the system. Last I checked, I wasn't charges for any of the patches in either game...
