Let's talk about Bungie and Bnet
#Community is for discussing what we all have in common. So, what do we all have in common? Bungie. I wouldn't be surprised if you're confused as to what the purpose is to talk about something other than Destiny, but hear me out. There's a lot more to being apart of this website/app than just Destiny. Whether you are on the Destiny app or the Bungie desktop website, we are all a part of something called the Seventh Column.
To put it simply, The Seventh Column is the official name of the Bungie Community. We are all a part of the Bungie Community. It doesn't matter if you are interested in just Destiny, you are automatically put into this community. Think of it as a family with Bungie as the linchpin. Now with all families, there's history involved. So much history, in fact, that it would take me many hours to go through it all with you. Onward to the point...
I would like to talk to you about anything regarding Bungie and Bnet. Preferably, I would like to pass down the rich lore and history, but I am happy to just keep the purpose of this forum alive in this thread. Maybe I'll bump this thread with Bungiepedia articles or try to discuss certain topics, if it comes to that, but I hope that you newer users will chime in. Thanks.

Thanks.[/quote] This whole game is a shallow and moneygrabbing shadow of its former self and I would like an explanation of how such a good company has fallen to the lows at which it now sits,I'm thinking that it's a money issue as in you don't have enough, could you explain your standpoint on this statement. I have played all destiny content ever made and this falls below mediocre into lies and cheating your consumer territory.im too angry to punctuate even.

i kinda feel you [b]Crouch[/b] but i'm also leaning towards [b]burrito's[/b] post too. We obviously also need to understand that there is a LOT more people here now a days and a lot of them are younger, not used to community things and are here because of Destiny and not because of the company, which reinforces the "Destiny Community" part even more. They came because of the game and that's what they're here for, fair, not necessarily what we're used to but fair. to give you an example... i posted this a while back [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/219789867?page=0&sort=0&showBanned=0&path=1[/url] and back in the old days, people would have been freaking out... today... no one cares

Edited by Ahhsenberg: 1/17/2017 2:41:39 PMSo I figured I'd try bringing up a specific topic every week to talk about. My first(and favorite) thing I'll bring forward is [url=http://bungie.wikia.com/wiki/Soffish]Soffish[/url]. There's many things like this that make up Bungie lore. How I first found out about Soffish was through a hidden easter egg page on the old website. Pretty cool, right?

1 ReplyEdited by InfinityDrags: 1/15/2017 2:19:12 PMOld Bungie during the halo era - Loved them The current Bungie - Loathe them I love Destiny but what Bungie has become is just terrible. A player base shouldn't be at war with its developer...

1 ReplyEdited by burritosenior: 1/15/2017 7:06:47 PMBungie is about Destiny, not about Bungie. What I mean by that is... back in the Halo era, obviously Halo was their focus. But they had a community that was maintained through conversation with that community. Yes, in the weekly updates they would talk Halo... but they would also throw in things not about Halo such as what is going on in the studio, or events they have. Now? It's all 'Hey Guardians' and 'here are Destiny streamers and clips.' Hell, we haven't even really seen the Pentathlon in two years. Bungie traditions are gone from the public eye. Anything that isn't about Destiny is spurned. And they no longer have a community- they have 'fans.' And there is a very distinct difference between the two and how they can behave and contribute. By not nurturing a community and instead catering only to fans, they have forced themselves into a pool of screaming and ranting children that will further discourage them from trying to CREATE an actual community. Maybe it's just nostalgia for the old community forum or something. But with them neutering groups, never having actual conversations with ANYBODY here on Bnet (you're lucky to get one reply, and a second reply means ragnarok is coming), and focusing only on Destiny in every single piece of text they put out... they've changed. And while change isn't inherently bad... this change in particular is certainly not good. But then, we've known that for a few years, and a couple times received token bone throws (such as the one time interest in reviving the community forum), but it never lasts. I don't know what makes my opinion anymore important than a new player's. Perhaps I feel I have perspective. Or maybe that I'm rational and not just blindly ranting. But maybe if there's one distinction that makes my words more valuable than an average joe's... it's that when I talk about my opinion it isn't referring to an opinion on Destiny. It's an opinion on people, spoken as a sociologist and a long time... 'fan.'

2 RepliesAgreed, I hope this works. Also, wouldn't be nice if Bungie had something for the new community and some other form of legacy support for Halo and Marathon users? I'm not sure about you but I would try to make anyone who was a Marathon player welcome here regardless of Halo's takeover at the time. Sadly the only user I met that's been with Bungie since Marathon who wasn't a Bungie Employee is Recon Number 54. I haven't met any others. Heck even if they didn't play any of Bungie's games and just joined the site for the community, I'd still welcome them. Too bad Destiny is a requirement to post in the forums now.
