Are we wasting our time suggesting anything? (No)

Many people have fantastic ideas about site updates that are generally accepted by the majority of people who reply. Then the thread dies, and the same thread is made some months later with the same response. However, nothing ever happens about it. ([i]citation needed[/i]) Can we just get an official word? Does anyone at Bungie care about improving the website for [b]their[/b] online community? Answer: Yes [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] The Storm [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos You're probably feeling frustration because Bungie as a whole is currently "dark". I'll just leave you with this, though: considering there hasn't been a major functional change to bungie.net for a significant period of time... just what do you think the Web Team has been doing? If you knew that you had a window where you weren't releasing stuff (and therefore had an extended period of time to work compared to your usual time)... what would you do? :)[/quote] seoifhainfawilfnawidonawdiawdioawmd[/quote] [Edited on 01.25.2012 3:41 PM PST]

You can't "expect" what's on your list to be implemented.

  • "You have no rights, play nice." There, I beat Urk and Tom to their overused punchline of the decade (but not really.)

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos [b]you should treat your feedback more as a brainstorming session (where there are no bad ideas) rather than quibbling over implementation details (which is where a lot of you get hung up).[/b][/quote] i know you mean well but i cant help but luagh, seriosly, when it comes to allmost every game forum, there is [b][u]rarely[/u][/b] ever a thread where people in the thread do that, take the reach forum for example, people insist on flameing feedback even when its ment to help the game, and then the thread turns into useless flaming ignorence *<-- no offense intended*, atleast from the eyes of those who post in/create it. until the people of the gaming forums who insist on this nonesense learns this, then your idea, *treat your feedback more as a brainstorming session (where there are no bad ideas)* will not happen, people will still do as they allways do, if they dont like it they wont even bother to suggest how it could be better, they *may* try to create a new idea from it, but that doesnt happen alot, unless this issue is delt with, i doubt things like that will ever happen. =/ [Edited on 01.26.2012 11:23 PM PST]

  • Has there ever been an idea implemented just as a test, before being quickly restored to the sites former layout? I mean, the best way to collate data is to physically see it's effect, and not estimate the possible results. Then again, I guess it's more dependent on the idea, an how conveniet it is to test physically.

  • It takes sometime to impliment these changes to bnet, or any other website. Suggestions will always be taken into considration of course speaking from past experiences.

  • Another question: If a member suggested an idea that the Bungie web team just [i]had[/i] to implement, would you actually be allowed to?

  • Achronos for president. That was beautiful and inspiring =' ) [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Achronos Don't confuse listening to what you guys say with doing what you say or altering production schedules that are they way they are for good reasons. At minimum, ideas presented here inform decisions and spark ideas - while we may not like a particular idea, it often can make us think about a particular problem a different way. The big problem is that we can't really communicate what we think of most things because doing so is more complicated than a few forum posts. I guess what I'm saying is that you should treat your feedback more as a brainstorming session (where there are no bad ideas) rather than quibbling over implementation details (which is where a lot of you get hung up). [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] coolmike699 I don't care if you're watching. I care if you're listening. [/quote][/quote]

  • I understand. It's just hard to fully grasp when you see good ideas fall through the pages and [i]flotsam[/i] being kept alive. Granted, it is not your responsibility to weigh and measure the merit of each thread, just want to communicate that we're just frustrated by it we're trying not to be big whiners.

  • Bungie has a habit of releasing site changes in large, bulky updates rather than small tweaks here and there. For as long as I've been here, it seems the web team is always working on "something big and awesome" which usually coincides with the release of a new game; often times you'll find that many community suggestions are incorporated into the big update package. They also have a penchant for secrecy and surprises. Patience is a virtue :)

  • You can't read someone else's idea without forming one of your own. Therefore, every time Achronos (or any Bungie member) reads one of our threads we influence the design of the site (or future site depending on how big of an idea). So, keep grabbing their attention with your feedback and suggestions and you will slowly take over their mind and control them like a master puppeteer.

I don't know how to do your job, and I'm not going to pretend I do because that's a great way to look stupid. If I was in your shoes, I'd be doing exactly what you're doing right now, chances are. I've said this before, I understand that I'm one of thousands of users and that my voice is no more important than theirs are.
