These forums have gotten unreasonably toxic... I understand and share frustrations, but a lot of what I've been reading is downright hateful O_o would people talk like this if they weren't hiding behind screens?

Hateful? Doesn't matter, it's genuinely valid criticism. This game has become a shitshow and people have been downright disrespected by Bungie's despicable actions. Can you really blame them?
-
Yah I think most people would especially at certain Bungie employees. Bungie could have controlled a lot of this hate by just leveling with the community right around when the XP thing happened. Instead they choice a very weak and unsuccessful version of corporate damage control.

That's sad though, isn't it? I mean, nothing about Luke Smith has ever seemed beneficial to Destiny, to me, but I don't fully know what goes on behind the scenes, and I certainly wouldn't ask for harm to him or anything (aside from step down from a lead position...). I do agree, they didn't handle that well... in a looter RPG, any artificial progression barriers are just an absolute no go, that should've been obvious to them, and they didn't convey anything about it very well (including its existence, which we as a community found out on our own), but I am a little hopeful about this new "open/early discussion" format they say their doing. It's what I've always liked about smaller devs like the Fun Pimps (7 Days to Die), they're pretty upfront about pretty much the entirety of the game design.

Agreed. Its one thing to joke around and pick fun at Luke Smith and the horrible direction D2 went towards. It’s another to be straight up serious and wish death or harm to him. Problem is with the internet and social media it’s becoming more difficult to differentiate between those people joking and the ones that are serious. With that said I don’t think the guy should be in charge of anything at Bungie besides maybe making the raids. They gave him his shot to shine and if not for the sales of D2 at launch then he failed miserably. I would guess most of the sales were due to the Bungie and Destiny names plus good marketing.

"Unreasonably"? You are an idiot.
-
Unreasonable (not to be confused with uncalled for) - to the point that it's out of hand Yes, the game has issues. I'm not denying that - but I am saying that the personal insults have gotten to a point of this whole forum being a cesspool. What's the point of them if they serve only to tell people to off themselves, or, Idk... Call someone an idiot because they had an opinion that differs from their own.
-
At least the forums filter out all of my expletives...
-
That doesn't really stop anything, people just use characters to get around it - ! @ $
-
What did you just say to me?
-
I didn't say anything to you..? I did use the example that people replace letters with characters in the post you responded to? ! - I, @ - a, $ - S
-
Lol never mind
-
AH. Sorry, a lot of the responses I've been getting are straight forward, I wasn't even thinking about it lol
-
It’s all good. We all have those days.
-
I would
-
You are so right! Dedtiny 2 is one of the greatest games ever. Nothing makes me happier than reading these posts and going to the Foreververse store and spending as much money as possible on new ghost shells and ornaments. It makes swimming in the tears of these people so much better
-
I can't tell if you're trolling in favor of against the game..? I'm not satisfied with the current state of things though I like the idea of what Destiny could be, and what glimpses of those possibilities that we've seen, but people don't have to vomit hate over it - leave the game, leave feedback, whatever you need to do that isn't overtly evident of societies toxicity.
-
He's not kidding, he's rich. Money means nothing to him.
-
Ah. I work for those dollars 😔
-
A small percentage would, because they're sociopaths. The majority wouldn't.
-
Do you even know what a sociopath is? Telling people their frustration in bad manners doesn't make them sociopaths. Haha

Edited by Knox19Delta: 1/19/2018 9:24:46 PMWe paid for something that was not done.

I'm with you on the fact what we got wasn't what we wanted - sometimes due to overly high expectations, mostly due to shallow progression systems etc (and honestly, it was advertised to be a lot bigger than it is, it always has been - here's to hoping Chris and his team patches this game up), but taking away what we expected and want, this game wasn't actually bad as a stand alone play the story, beat hard mode (raids/prestige nightfall) and have a little something to do after and then move on. The issue is that it wasn't designed with healthy repeatability in mind, which is what the games ideals were based around - the gave us an okay game, but it isn't what we wanted, and what will hopefully improve thanks to community outcry (which doesnt have to be hateful, look at Datto and MynameisByf, they love the series but hate what's happened and keep constructive feedback based off of that). They thankfully haven't tipped to EA standards, and they're trying to do some improvements... Whether it will reach our expectations at the end of the day, ehhhh... Well see. Hopefully :/

But it was completed. You were able to start the campaign and finish the campaign. There was a clear beginning, middle, and an end. I'm not trying to defend Bungie here, but you paid for a completed product.
-
You got to be kidding right?
-
4 hour campaign for 60 dollars. With PVP options dismantled from D1 80% smaller and less to do than D1 same guns as D1, only one raid so far. Eververse! Less strikes and timed nightfalls that everyone I know hates.
