Dear Bungie, The reason to why I'm writing this is because I care, and because reading feedback from different websites just about every day about Destiny, bothers me. Why does it bother me you ask? Well it's pretty simple, it's because noone of those who comment, knows anything. And whatever little piece of news they're currently commenting on, most of them get the wrong idea from what they're seeing, as compared to what's actually being shown. So why is this? It's very simple, it's bad communication from you guys. Your current ad campaign looks strikingly similar to any other MMORPG's ad campaign ever. I mean, you show some footage of some people running through different areas, taking out packs of enemies, encountering small bosses, getting some cool loot, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeDaevD7cEo]doing "dungeons"[/url], customizing their character, engaging in public events, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z2UCkm7974]mounting up[/url] etc etc. But at the same time, you're telling everyone that this is NOT an MMORPG, without specifying why in a single answer. Then it's the other kind of people, who do not percieve your game as an MMORPG, and who cannot at all see how this is any different from say Borderlands, Skyrim, Fallout etc. Especially now thay they've seen the things that I won't mention here but that I'm pretty sure you're quite aware of Pre-E3. So, what's the solution to this? It's fairly simple, [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUv98eWVnL0]you've done it before.[/url] That video is an almost perfect example. It may not have showcased EVERYTHING in the game, but it's enough, it showed what was new and why I'd want to get the damn game. I beg of you to do just about the same thing with Destiny. Make a video showcasing all its features, its modes and all that needs to be said, so you'll have it all in one place and so that people know what they're actually buying without having to check twenty different websites. If you do this before the beta launches, I'm sure that you will draw a much larger crowd much faster, and people will know what to hype about. Sincerely, FreakyIdiota. [b]EDIT[/b]: Bungie has now reached out to clarify after the alpha leaks caused confusion among people. [quote]Story missions: soloable activities (you can still play them in groups of up to 3!), often with ties to the main story arc of Destiny (the campaign). These activities appear at various Levels (numerical, relative to the player) and choosing a higher level (relative to you) means you're opting in for some additional challenge. Strikes: 3 player activities, with bosses and loot at the end. Their goal is a highly replayable activity that will - at higher levels - lead you into the loot game. Explore: cruise around the surface of a planet in Fireteams of up to 3, taking odd jobs and tasks for the City. You can find minerals and resources out in the world that you'll have some use for as you find weapons in Destiny that you want to stick with. This is a lower intensity activity Raids: 6 player, cooperative required, communication required gameplay. High challenge. We haven't talked much about this yet and I'm not going start that conversation here on NeoGAF Multiplayer: This is for the "shoot other players" mood.[/quote] [quote]We've structured Destiny's world to have places where you will probably intersect with other players, and places where you won't. We're not going to have players drop into the climax of a mission, but the common landing zones for a given planet? That seems like a great place to see other players running amok in the world. EDIT: Regardless of what activity you're playing (PVP aside), you'll see players on their own activities, i.e., players beginning a Strike might see a guy collecting Relic Iron on Mars, and a Public Event begins and suddenly everyone is distracted to take down a key Cabal target for a chance at powerful gear and materials to upgrade your best weapons and armor. A bunch of folks are playing the Alpha now and we're already seeing all kinds of opportunities for places to improve Destiny. I have no doubt that in the Public Beta, we will learn even more from your feedback and experiences.[/quote]
