I agree with this, the lack of communication / awkward fireteams and the back to orbit nonsense.... aaannnnnd here is my wall of text. To the people who are kissing ass for no reason saying the game is perfect and the like... grow a pair (not if you are a woman though... you stay.. you) - have an opinion on something, communicate, grow as a society. This is directed at Bungie and fellow forum... so sometimes the target changes unexpectedly. I know they refuse to hear MMO or really want to completely distance themselves from it. **However, as one map in a demo/beta** they are creating a world where story /explore is dull and too quickly extinguished. Sure you can go back and eliminate the same baddies, redo those dreadful beacon missions, find some dead ghosts (meh), find poorly placed loot chests (only a couple require ingenuity) or look to help people.. but the investment in your character and it's impact on the world suffers. I mentioned it before - I hope they can avoid that trap of becoming the completed story /now it's only pvp game. Many people love pvp, but there is a population just as large, if not larger, that wants to be immersed in something more. Give me better reasons for powering up my console with YOUR game in it. What will make us go back time and time again to improve our Guardians? Why do I care about my Guardian? Maybe certain enemies that only come around in certain weather or other conditions (dense fog, make it so!).. and they drop different gear or a rare material you can only get from them to use in your crafting or to put on the market. Some people live to grind. Bless their little hearts. More story, more depth, more concern for my character's development aside from an occasional new weapon. Seriously, as you are aware, you must create the need for someone to come back ALL the time and those big RPG do just that. I understand you want to separate yourself and stand alone, but pluck the successful elements and don't be afraid to incorporate more of them. No one will call you a clone - you are already different. Hopefully you aren't just looking for spectacular initial sales numbers (which you will no doubt get). Keep your player in the world: crafting, marketplace?, better social structure etc. Yes it is a beta and we all may be saying things that Bungie is well aware of and already incorporated in the full release... but even a company that large can't think of everything and it always helps to have a multitude of fresh (or stale) inputs - even if some are a little off base.
