Prox chat griefing, WTF bungie.

The only thing I can find as to why prox chat/in-game voice is not in destiny is because of little kids and trolls griefing other players. Now I don't know about you but almost all of my online friends I met through random encouters, be it Xbox live or PSN or B.net. If every game had bungie's attitude toward socializing with people you DON'T know the online gaming community would be dead. If you don't like meeting new people and only want to play with those you do know maybe it's time you jump in your delorian, hit 88mph and have a lan party back in 90's EDIT: I think most of the nay sayers are missing my point. We all play online games Ps3, ps4, xbox 360, xbone, doesn't matter we all have a friends list, full of friends, made up of mostly people we met online in whatever game it is you play. If the various different games youve played over the years did what bungie is doing just how many people on your list would be gone? Never met because why? Well it's because all people who talk are annoying so voice chat should be removed. REALLY? ARE YOU PEOPLE KIDDING? I just don't buy it, I don't believe that none of you understand this. EDIT 2: /Game chat, if as one guy said they are bubbles, then turn the tower into a game chat bubble, only 16 players on your screen at any given time with an off option so its manageable, too many jackasses, orbit, back, new 16. Don't get me wrong im not just arguing prox chat, a open text based system in the tower would suffice, so long as there is some form of communication outside your fire team. As it stands without the ability to speak to "that cool lookin titan over there" this game is no more social then CoD or halo, infact it is less so since you can only communicate in game with those in your fireteam. EDIT 2.5: IMO Most griefers are CoD players, thats why I don't play CoD anymore (that and the game play went down hill really fast after CoD 4) I now seldom hear idiots screaming at other idiots, without the ability to 360 no scope in an mlg pro 1v1 lobby, those players will be gone soon enough.

  • TL;DR Griefers and trolls a legit concern... Also believe technologically too difficult for consoles right now... I will critique a little and add my spin on it... I can see where Bungie is coming from with a generalization of CoD players trolling players... Keep in mind people make accounts specially to troll players (XboxBing)... You will still experience people online and can still talk in certain circumstances... This time you actively have to make friends... For some this asks too much. Now for my opinon. I believe that griefers and trolls are a concern... Let me elaborate... I for one like to troll online... But have no need for it in game... It would be annoying for someone to come up and ask to party up (an attempt to be social) and me being forced to say no (if i am not in the mood) and coming off rude. Then they can just follow you around bothering you and killing what you are about to kill. GRANTED they can do all that without chat... the key is with chat you're giving trolls food by more actively expressing your dislike for wanting to team up at that specific time. We all know not to feed trolls. For the second part... I was thinking this before the PAX panel... There is only one map per planet and then the one tower... ALL of Destiny's population will obviously be in these areas... Constantly coming or going.... So imagine playing CoD or (insert X FPS here) with 16 players constantly leaving and entering the lobby... It could get werid... Onto the PAX panel... They described the infrastructure in depth to us...or more so than before. I don't know all the specifics but using their analogy of the mothyard being a bubble... Every little section that has a name is a bubble... Let's say you're talking to someone and they cross that threshold and you aren't close enough to them... They are now in a different bubble...You walk into the one they are in... They are not x distance you were from them as they got matchmade into a different lobby. With people constantly changing and having such a large population the way it is in destiny in the areas... I believe that as of right now it is technologically too difficult... We haven't really had a game on consoles using maps/areas they way they do with continuous matchmaking...
