Bungie, Shut Down Destiny for a while and FIX this Game

You want feedback, I'll give it to you. There have been many issues with Destiny as we speak. How do we know? Well, -Servers Bugging a lot (yesterday at 7/1/16) -Maintenance occurring more often from something we don't know about -Loot not Dropping Correctly (Iron Banner and Vendor Rank Packages, 334 Loot at 335 Level) -New One: People's Characters are Being Deleted automatically randomly without manually deleting them. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/208099162/0/0 -Balance issues in crucible -Matchmaking between skill and based I could go on and on and on..... The most funny part is, none of this happened in Year 1. What happened to this game being Fun? Why are we having these issues? When did they start and will they persist? Who is in charge of all these issues? Where does this occur the most? And last: How can you make a permenant solution to ALL these problems? I'm not being salty or rude, its just really disappointing that these issues can occur so easily in a short timespan of two weeks. And the fact that you aren't telling us in the weekly updates besides some small stuff. Compared to Year 1... "This week at Bungie" should include what's up between Bungie and Destiny, not just mainly on Destiny. Like informative stuff like (insert problem) and a possible time. If this isn't adressred properly and soon, Rise of Iron will suffer. It will be very awful. I may not buy the next DLC, because these problems are discouraging. Please, fix these issues. More people continue to leave. Best solution is to overhaul. Please share this and leave a bump. Edit 1: Thanks for the support so far. The reason why I said a month was so bungie can find and hire people, get dedicated servers, Fully playtest the game, fix and build dedicated servers. At the very least, a week. For those wondering why I said matchmaking is an issue, I shouldn't have to leave the country just to look for someone with the same skill level in search terms. Edit 2: A quote from The_Grass_Fever: [quote]That can be done in the background, set everything up then shut down for maintenance and swap servers and coding. That would take a few hours tops, everyone would just have to put up with a severely broken game until then. If Destiny 2 comes without dedicated servers all hope is lost for Bungie.[/quote] A quote from Bassmagnum: [quote]They need to do something. The only way I'm going to get the next chapter is if they comp it. I feel they owe us that much at least. And for the record I've never complained about anything regarding this game other than it's connectivity issues. [u][i][b]The phone number for bungie is 425-440-6800. Time for everyone to flood their office with complaint calls until they do something about the problem or change the number[/quote] https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/208337745/0/0

  • Bump. It will be much harder to sell Destiny 2 when they neglect Destiny Y1/Y2 the way they have neglected it thus far (or actively ruined it with nerfing everything that was fun). It would be better for their long-term business plans to shut this game down, fix many of the pressing issues with it, and then bring servers back up. Ignoring the current state of the game will just ensure more frustrated gamers will not buy future installments of Destiny. I know they're in this game for profit, but many times companies do things that seem bad in the short-term for the sake of their long-term business plan and most times, they are stronger for doing so. I believe this is one of those situations where it would benefit the company to fix current issues before developing the next product. Activision be damned.

  • Dedicated servers would solve the connection problems and let's be honest, Halo got better with dedicated servers and I'm playing The Division more often now than I do playing Destiny. Also, I get more for doing missions and just playing the game like it's supposed to... Might want to take some tips at some RPGs that have been around Bungie... just saying.

    • Don't know what good their phone number is. All you get is a run around from a recording. Their whole operation is nothing but a joke. Worst customer service and public relations I have ever encountered. As a result I have contacted several of the news stations with consumer complaints investigation and we will see what happens

      [quote]-Servers Bugging a lot (yesterday at 7/1/16)[/quote] They've always been bugged. This isn't a brand new issue and anyway every game with millions of code glitches. Part of gaming. [Quote]-Maintenance occurring more often from something we don't know about[/quote] Bungie makes an effort to fix bugs and you complain about it by demanding they fix bugs. Sheesh. By the way they always tell us when and how long maintenance will be. Try checking the @bungiehelp Twitter page. [Quote]-Loot not Dropping Correctly (Iron Banner and Vendor Rank Packages, 334 Loot at 335 Level)[/quote] Since when? Oh that's right Bungie have already confirmed its RNG. You can still get 334 light level loot at 335. Try doing some background checks before making ridiculous claims. In the meantime I won't hold my breath. [Quote]-New One: People's Characters are Being Deleted automatically randomly without manually deleting them. https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/208099162/0/0[/quote] Oh let me guess, one guy accidently deletes his character then makes up a bug so Bungie gives him back the character he deleted. Just because someone posts about it doesn't make it true. One day in the distant future the digital generation will realise not everything they read on the internet's is gospel. [QUOTE]-Balance issues in crucible[/QUOTE] There have always been balance issues in the Crucible, why are you surprised now.? [Quote]-Matchmaking between skill and based[/quote] Lolwhut? [Quote]I could go on and on and on....[/quote] The saddest thing about this OP is I bet you could, but none of it would be remotely true or make sense. [Quote]The most funny part is, none of this happened in Year 1.[/quote] I guess you spent Y1 under a rock because there were problems back in the good ol' days. *selects American Pie on iPod and cranks up volume since it seems appropriate for this thread* [Quote]What happened to this game being Fun? [/quote] Fun is subjective and a personal opinion. I still find Destiny fun, you don't. [Quote]Why are we having these issues?[/quote] There are millions of lines of code. Bugs happen. Can anyone fill this Muppet in on how coding works? I'm no code writer and apparently neither is this guy. [Quote]When did they start and will they persist?[/quote] Err, day 1. And its a video game, they will always crop up. [QUOTE]Who is in charge of all these issues?[/QUOTE] Bungie, or more specifically the devs in the various departments. [Quote]Where does this occur the most?[/quote] Oh, oh! I know this one. In every video game. [Quote]How can you make a permenant solution to ALL these problems?[/quote] You can't. Half of it is video games being buggy thanks to millions of lines of code. The other half is the community not having a clue what they're talking about but complain all the same. [Quote]I'm not being salty or rude, its just really disappointing that these issues can occur so easily in a short timespan of two weeks. And the fact that you aren't telling us in the weekly updates besides some small stuff. Compared to Year 1...[/quote] So you're saying every bug in Destiny I've encountered has happened in the last fortnight. This must be the longest two weeks of my life. Wait. What? It's actually nearly two years. Phew! [Quote]"This week at Bungie" should include what's up between Bungie and Destiny, not just mainly on Destiny. Like informative stuff like (insert problem) and a possible time.[/quote] Again it shows the lack of programming knowledge you have. If you think a bug can be fixed on a set timetable, you clearly aren't a video game coder. Anyways why do we need to know how Bungie operates as a business, I want to play a video game. I can discuss business at work. [Quote]If this isn't adressred properly and soon, Rise of Iron will suffer. It will be very awful. I may not buy the next DLC, because these problems are discouraging.[/quote] Not really, you've expressed your opinion. It's not fact.

      • So if you don't like this game, why do you all still play it and troll the forums?

      • [quote]-Servers Bugging a lot (yesterday at 7/1/16)[/quote] Every online game has bugging. It's what millions of lines of code do. [quote]-Maintenance occurring more often from something we don't know about[/quote] They almost always tell us when and what maintenance is for. [quote]-Loot not Dropping Correctly (Iron Banner and Vendor Rank Packages, 334 Loot at 335 Level)[/quote] Opinions aren't fact as usual. [quote]-New One: People's Characters are Being Deleted automatically randomly without manually deleting them.[/quote] Literally no one. [quote]-Balance issues in crucible[/quote] There's always gonna be balance issues in Crucible, sine new things are being introduced to the Meta constantly. It's one of the appeals of the game. New loot and all. [quote]-Matchmaking between skill and based[/quote] I'm not sure if you know how Matchmaking works in Destiny. [quote]The most funny part is, none of this happened in Year 1.[/quote] Year one didn't have Balancing issues, Loot tuning, and connection patches? Sure....

          • The way I feel about this game is the same way I used to feel about gears of War. Imbalanced and unfair. So sad I put so many hours into this and that all my friends play it. Makes it so I have to play if I want to play with friends but I truly dislike the PvP in this game. Worst out of any other games I play. Trials is all I do and thats because my friends want to. If I had a choice, I would go back in time and tell myself to never ever purchase this time trap.

            • If you want dedicated servers, it's gonna take a lot longer than a month. They'll have to basically rebuild the entire infrastructure of the game.

              • This game is just in a very crippled state in my opinion.. Year one and had a few issues here and there but i enjoyed every minute of it. I loved the game and was pretty much on every day. But.. Ever since The Taken King came out i havent been having the same feelings... With the many problems, errors, glitches, imbalances, somewhat toxic community, bad communication between the developers and fans... I just dont like where this is all heading... Rise of Iron is my last hope... If things keep heading down this path then thats it.. I just hope that this isnt the dark before the storm and hopefully this franchise gets back on its feet so we can start making good memories again...

                    I wonder if they bit off more then they could chew with this game. Like they don't have enough people to maintain this game and work on the new stuff. I just wonder about that sometimes.

                    • I had this game at launch on PS4, and just re bought it a little over a week ago on xbox one because a big group of friends were all playing it again. Everything has been smooth, until today. Trying to run the nightfall with 2 friends, and it consistently kept interrupting my connecting trying to contact servers. After all that, playing on my own I can't even do my daily strike because 2-3 minutes in, i get booted with BEETLE, ANTEATER, BEE or BASILISK. Everything network wise on my end is 100% and I have run through every error fix i could find to no avail. Now I have all my friends online wanting to raid finally and I can't because the damn game can't keep connected to the servers!

                      I was online for a couple hours last night and had more error codes in that period than my entire destiny experience combined. Just gave up trying anything. Couldn't access the tower, patrols, strikes or PvP as I got so many Rabbit and Currant error codes. I just turned the game off as it was a waste of time. Played the nightfall a couple times, but that's pretty much the only luck I had. Also not sure what's up with IB rank this time. It took days to rank one character to 5, and that was even with winning a lot of games. Over a three day period. Ranking never seemed to be this slow before.

The actual switch-over to recode everything... not hours. Not days. Not weeks. At least a month, and a lot more if you want to test it for quality [b][u]so we're not back to square one[/u][/b]. Which is a big deal to do for a game that's getting close to end-of-life with the sequel coming out in the near future. [u]Another game[/u] (I forget if it was CoD or MW) got away with a quick migration back, but that's because the previous iteration was already Dedicated and the newer game was mostly just recycling the old version. Bungie doesn't have that luxury here.
