There is a difference between getting it right away, and a chance at getting it right away. Give me the opportunity to fail as many times as I need to to get it right with a group of people who are willing to work with me. Don't give me the opportunity to fail, if I am lucky enough to be around at the right place, at the right time, based on random numbers. It takes something which was interesting, creative, and obviously took tremendous resources to create, and turns it into something less the optimal...for no reason other than because they wanted it that way.

The community wanted more things to chase and that's not easily obtainable but the minute Bungie does that now it's wrong. They've already said they are looking into the frequency of the spawning. I don't know what else people want.

Wanted more things to do....check they got it right. Wanted an object to chase....check they got that right. Made it so the ability to play was rng based....X they got that wrong. Make it as hard as you want, but allow me the chance to try. Put another way...how about you try to join a heroic strike, and when you spawn into the room you are sent back into orbit....for 10 hours...and the next time you get to try is next weekend, maybe, unless it just happens again... If I can get 3, 4, or 6 people who want to do activity X, they should be able to do activity X. This is not a faction rally, iron banner, or any seasonal event....this is just an activity.

Wow, you missed the whole point of the thread. Sure, the event is random, but when the randomness goes against you 13+ times in a row, something is up. Flip a coin 13 times and get heads every time. And when that happens during a time of peak activity - it starts to look intentional. A lot of us had time on a Sunday afternoon to try this event and Bungie took that away from us. That is why people is upset.

It was still available Sun and they've already acknowledged they are looking into how often it spawns. And the event will be coming back. Again, no reason for the community to be so toxic over it.

It was NOT available Sunday FOR SIX HOURS and people didn't even know it was turned off. They just kept getting Cabal over and over hoping the next one would be Taken. When you finally figure out you are getting screwed over it makes you not even want to continue, not as much because of the time wasted playing, but the time wasted BECAUSE BUNGIE CAN'T TAKE 15 SECONDS TO TYPE A FREAKING TWEET SAYING IT'S DOWN AND THEY ARE FIXING IT, THEN TAKE ANOTHER 15 SECONDS TO TELL YOU THEY FIXED IT! 30 seconds of Bungie's time to save THOUSANDS OF ABSOLUTELY WASTED HOURS OF THEIR CUSTOMERS LIVES

See, it's THIS kind of self-entitled attitude that is ruining the community. It's a game dude, move on with your life and come back to it later. People are idiots for just waiting and waiting. I promise, this one gun isn't going to change your life. After a week of having it most people probably won't even use it anymore. Breathe. Relax.

it's not about the gun, but the disrespect towards the community, we finally get something fun to do, and get close with no warning at all. just stop being bungie suching boy, and try to see from the players side how don't get any explanation. it's not how you run a business. "happy customers always come back "

You still refuse to get it. People waited BECAUSE THAT'S HOW IT WAS DESIGNED! Bungie: "Hey guys, just wait here for a Taken Blight event so you can start one of the greatest encounters we have designed in D2 and get one of the coolest weapons ever" (implied, taken events spawn at a fairly regular interval in this location) Intersted D2 Player: "Wow this is great, I am definitely going to try to get a taste of this!" 2 Cabal PE spawns later......... "Oh man, crappy luck 2 cabal in a row, I am sure it will be a taken one soon" 4 Cabal spawns later........ "Wow the taken spawns must be rare now, I better stay on to make sure I catch one while this event is going on Sunday (my day off to play D2) 10 spawns later...... Checks Bungie media..... nothing Googles "Io taken blight"..... nothing interesting 20 spawns later...... Checks Bungie media...... nothing, EXCEPT, oh look ONE reply from cozmo buried deep in one of hundreds of tweets about WTF IS GOING ON WITH TAKEN PE's ON IO that says "looking into it". No verification of whether Bungie turned it off for hacking, glitching, trying to fix spawn rates, anything. It IS life changing because it takes your respect for a game and developer and throws it right back in the trash because they have ZERO respect for your precious leisure time. How the hell do you design an event this epic, and have so little concern for it's execution and so little respect for your hardcore fans who have defended you time and time again Bungie? USE YOUR DAMN TWITTER ACCOUNT, USE YOUR WEBSITE, USE YOUR COMPANION APP, so many tools to get a 15 second communication out that preserves the integrity of your relationship with your playerbase. Thousands upon thousands of gaming hours wasted, because they either lack oversight of their events, or lack respect for their playerbase. Both are pretty inexcusable at this point.

Did it occur to you that they didn't even know it was messed up? If, everything happened as you say, then it was a Sunday and they were taking the day off to spend with their families. I seriously doubt they PURPOSELY designed it like this just to piss people off. Just chill out man, it's not the end of the World. /Edit I know DMG made a post on Reddit about them looking into too many Cabal events spawning. Not sure what time he did that but I do know it was acknowledged. Again, it was probably a mistake but to fix it will take a bit of time. Don't assume they are out to personally screw over every player.
