Will post-Destiny release members benefit the Community?
Will the flood of new members after the release of Destiny revitalize the flagging Bungie community with an infusion of like-minded individuals who share a common enthusiasm and passion for the game?
Or will it drive the (admittedly already low) lowest common denominator to even lower depths?
Will the flood of new members dilute all meaningful conversation until these forums are nothing more but an endless chorus of 'JOIN MY CLAN!1!!', leading a mass exodus of members away from the site or to the relative haven of private groups?
Or will there be no real change, just a continuation of the community's current state?

1 답변Well, by "new blood", I would assume that means first time Bungie gamers, since Destiny is a cross-platform game. But most Bungie gamers now are old(and current) Halo fans. So really, "new blood" would mean new guys coming from PSN. Totally different styles over there, but I've heard that they are more polite. And PSN has a stronger emphasis on indie and artsy games (Journey for one) than XBL. So if that means more creativity in the forums and game, I'm all for that.

3 답변An "infusion of like-minded individuals" is what's going to dilute all your "meaningful conversation". You should crave variety in all its forms. These forums already had horrendous groupthink, and the recent update empowered it further.

1 답변Hopefully Bungie adds sub categories. Like a feedback thread. Have all the feedback and flame wars there please.

1 답변Absolutely. There was a time when each on of us now were "new blood". We may not see it right when Destiny releases, but a few years down the road we'll have members that remember the "good times" with the first Destiny game.
