Serenity now! Serenity now! Serenity now! An open letter to DeeJ on sanity.

That is the mantra that you leave the collective #feedback community chanting each and every week, DeeJ. Albert Einstein said the definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. Well after 48 or so weeks of listening to you tell us well get answers "soon", we're all probably batsh*t crazy. I don't understand how you can justify the way in which you communicate with this community. I already wrote in a heat-of-the-moment post after reading the update that you've taken the one chance we have a week of having any real answers to community concerns and turned it into a sad joke. In one post alone today, you had over 400 comments with questions and concerns people have as we head into TTK. No one is expecting you to be able to answer every question. We all get that there are things that you just can't tell us, things you're afraid to tell us and things you're contractually obligated to let paid subscription magazines tell us. But when you have hundreds and thousands of Guardians coming to you for answers and to ease concerns, you could at the very least acknowledge the issues even if you can't lay them to rest. I put up the post asking for honest questions people had for you hoping that this would be the update that was different, hoping (like a crazy fool) that this past week of anger and hurt on these forums would inspire you to step up, take ownership of that "community manager" mantle and lead. Instead your contribution to the update that had any semblance of bearing on TTK and yesterday's stream was about 250 words that once again answered nothing. I don't know what else we can communicate to you at this point. You've repeated over and over for a year that you're listening and yet you've ignored our most pressing questions since launch. I'll close this out by leaving you the last updated list of questions I was able to compile before this "update" went up. These Guardians took the time to reach out to you, maybe one day you can dignify them with a response. [quote]Here is a rough approximation of the questions so far and the number of guardians asking. Let's see how many get answered in any capacity. 29 What is your justification for leaving year 1 gear behind even though so many players want to keep their gear and more specifically, why are only some exotics carrying forward? 23 Are we ever going to get full endgame matchmaking? 20 Can we have a full list of exotics that are going forward? 13 How viable a game experience will exist for those who don’t purchase TTK as previously you’ve locked out and removed any viable rewards from all playable endgame content for those without? 12 Will all year 1 endgame content be useless after TTK? 10 Are you ever going to give us dedicated servers instead of p2p? 10 Why is there still so much Crucible lag? 10 Are you attempting to have infusion work with all year 1 weapons and armor? 9 [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/149980795/0/0]Do you have any plans to fix non-US pricing?[/url] 8 Will old raid gear be relevant? 7 Why do “expansions” remove so much content? 6 How long will the new reworked campaign be? 6 Why nerf weapons that aren’t carrying forward? 5 How long will TTK gear be viable? Will it reset again with the next expansion? 5 When are the year 1 Playstation exclusives going to be available on Xbox and do we have to purchase TTK to get them? 4 Why was stream underwhelming? 3 Are we ever going to get private/custom matches? 3 When exactly did you decide to rework the entire first year content? 3 Will Etheric Light have any use outside of old gear? 2 Is Trials moving forward to TTK? 2 What time will DLC be playable on the 15th? Will the raid release day 1? When is 2.0 dropping? Will we be able to buy armor for all classes with one character and send it to our other characters? Will passage coins be redeemable for any rep? Are we ever going to get a transmog system?[/quote]

    • Deej, ignore this. Lost sols is a hermaphrodite with that diesease that causes [i]it[/i] to PMS 24 hours of the day, 7 days a week. And [i]it[/i] says "oh look" too much

          • Honestly I think what we need to do now as a community is ignore Deej. Turn our backs completely on Deej, unfollow, unsubscribe, whatever it takes. We need to put him on mute. If the local news paper stops reporting on local news you stop buying that news paper for local news. It's time to put Deej in the quiet corner.

                    • "The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place" Exactly the case at the present moment. I understand Bungie doesn't want to scare the newer players away but for the love of SOL can you at least put some of these questions to rest? You could remove a great deal of salt from the tears with a few replies.

                        • I admire you for keep going on this, but for me the latest Twitch post sums up Bungie's attitude towards it's fans. Firstly, Twitch is meant to be a streaming service so fans can interact directly with gamers/revierwes/developers etc. Instead, we just had Bungie people talking to each other. The questions asked (supposedly from fans) were just things we already knew, e.g. vault space getting increased The more pressing questions (the ones you've compiled Sols) were totally ignored When Bungie talk about things being an improvement - it usually either means one of two things. 1. A fix, for something which was wrong in the first place. 2. Something which no one really cares about in the grand scheme of things (whilst more pressing matters are ignored) Just playing Destiny again last night and I experienced all the worst things about the game, which made me think 'maybe it's a good time to leave now'. Firstly, having to use LFG to find people to play Prison of Elders with. Secondly, once in a Fireteam, chat wasn't working properly for some reason (undermining the whole social aspect Bungie is so keen to talk about, yet lack of matchmaking and glitches in making a fireteam totally undermines this). I then went into Iron Banner and experienced awful lagging and people quitting mid game. I got back to the tower with my etheric light and thought 'what's the point of upgrading anything else?' and went to bed...feeling mad at myself for having sunk 1,150 hours into this game for what now seems like little point in terms of the benefits it will offer me in Y2. Except for my new shader and emblem of course...
