No other computer game I have played since the early 1990s has had quality problems occuring as frequently and as severely as in Destiny. Bungie simply doesn't want to invest into QS. It costs a lot of money. Why should they spend it? There are enough fools like you who willingly swallow that kind of BS and even find excuses for it. I wonder if you would act the same if you bought a car and it would break down again and again year after year because one problem and software bug after the other would surface, and a fix to one of them would more often than not introduce new or bring back old problems. You may not be able to avoid all problems with a piece of software the size of Destiny. But most of them could have been avoided. Many of the problems Destiny have are simply rooted in bad QS and bad software architecture and code design. Just look at Telesto, or all the new God mod glitches centered around emote usage. I am saying this as a long time (20+ years) SW dev and architect. It's not like I wouldn't know what I am talking about, like many others here.

I’m not challenging your expertise... Games in the 90s couldn’t hold a candle to the complexity that is Destiny... I don’t appreciate being called a fool because I like the game... you like the game then play if you don’t then don’t... if you like Ford buy a Ford, if not then don’t... but don’t lambast someone and call them a fool for liking or having a different opinion then yourself. If I rely on a car to get me to a job to make money that is very different then going home to enjoy a video game that is currently offline or doesn’t respond the way I like. Not having a car impedes my life, Destiny does not. Maybe your right... maybe poor architecture, but architecture they cannot simple change now; they need to learn and get better for the next Destiny.

I cannot find the post of mine you are replying to, so I cannot tell whether and why I called you a fool. This much I can say: Bungie can start applying proper QS to Destiny. The problems right now are a testimony to their lack of incompetence (and be it caused by trying to save as much money as possible at the cost of their customers). First of all, there seem to be insufficient or no automated large scale tests on database integrity during a sandbox test of the new software version, or this problem would have been noted before the patch had been rolled out. Then it shouldn't take half a day to roll back a data base update and a software patch to allow players to keep playing until a working patch could be deployed. I am observing how Bungie handles Destiny for years. I actually regret having ever believed Bungie. I am kind of (but not too) stuck with this game because I know it and it is easy for me to hop in, play around a bit to relax and quit whenever I have enough of it. That's why I still play it, but the time of my being done for good is very near now. I am done with Destiny for various reasons, its constant QS problems actually being the least prominent. Destiny has become a more and more boring game. It's greatest weakness is that the core of its design is creating a "game" that actually is a chore. Sure, there are plenty of activities, and they are fun for a while, but the goal of Destiny is not to have a variety of evolving activities requiring you to adjust and become better, it is acquiring tons of game items, most of which then just rot in your vault or inventory, because they are either non meta or totally exchangeable. There are dozens of guns of each type, and playing Destiny just revolves around grinding good rolls of them; Rolls that are almost unobtainable for casual players due to the extreme influence of RNG. If you play that much for such a purpose, you actually work, you chew through endless repetitions of the same activities which aren't fun in themselves anymore to get, to possess a virtual game item the only use for is playing more of these activities for yet another game item. Obviously some people find that entertaining. I did that, too - often for the simple reason that it is easy t hop into Destiny and play it for a while. But actually Destiny isn't worthwhile anymore in my book. And I am not alone with that opinion. Just listen to the growing number of Destiny streamers saying more or less the same.
