It’s another BS cash grab for the DLC. Telling the sheep 🐑 what they “want” to hear just before the DLC launch. 1. Daily player log in is at an all time low. Edit: add Activision stock price is falling 2. ALL media outlets are destroying the Games reviews 3. Product returns are taking place before the Christmas holiday and Q4 sales results 4. “used game” surpluses available as a viable purchase options before the holidays..affecting Q4 Sales. 5. The game is now the cheapest it’s ever been (cheaper then Black Friday and Cyber Monday). $26.00 on Amazon 6. It’s now available for “Free to Play” Demo This recent “Outreach” has NOTHING to do with righting wrongs and EVERYTHING to do with Q4 sales for Bungie / Activision. Don’t be a 🐑

[quote]Lastly for all the people upset about the xp debacle. You have every right to be upset...Bungie immediately reacted, clearly confirming that this was indeed happening and taking steps to improve it. They never hid it from you, and they immediately took the blame.[/quote] So deliberately showing us differing amounts of Xp isn't hiding it? Are you high? And immediately reacted? The information was available for almost 2 weeks. It wasn't until after the media outlets picked it up that they reacted. And I guarantee you they were pretty happy with it until they got busted. [quote]It shows me this company is dedicated to righting those wrongs that are out there. So please keep the door open with bungie and keep the feedback constructive. Bungie is doing their part it’s time for the community to do theirs.[/quote] More like [i]finally [/i]doing their part. Bungie's MO in regards to player issues is to wait it out till the next issue arises and [i]maybe[/i] address it with the next patch or DLC. Heavy Ammo glitch? Took a year and a DLC to fix. SRL Book for free? Couple hours [quote]TL:DR - the livestream was cancelled for a blog post where bungie is going to address all the problems with the game. Give it a read and make your judgements then. Let’s make community feedback constructive to support a company that is genuinely trying to make things better.[/quote] It was cancelled because they can't be caught trying to peddle more snake oil while in the midst of lying and cheating their players.

[quote]So I’m seeing a lot of misinformed opinionated posts about the news. For those who do not know what I’m referring to: the bungie livestream for curse of Osiris today was cancelled. Instead bungie will be making a large blog post on their website/app. So you are all entitled to your own opinions on the matter. However, I feel it’s important you guys understand what’s happening. Today was going to be another typical livestream showing off some armor and weapons and new changes. Lately though public discontent with the state of destiny 2 is at an all time high. Many complaints about the game are surfacing. So instead of the fashion show bungie will be posting a blog post in direct response to the communities feedback. Now the point I want to make is that many people are upset and making claims about bungie that simply aren’t true. The number of posts and youtube videos that claim bungie isn’t listening or bungie is lying is staggering. This is what this cancellation is about. Instead of ignoring complaints and continuing full steam ahead with their livestream bungie is taking the time to address these issues. They know there is problems and taking action to open a dialogue with the community about these problems. I for one believe this is fantastic. I love destiny and will always stand by bungie but even I can admit there are problems. However, I believe this is a very positive step in fixing these issues. So before you complain and rage, take the time to look at this blog. The studio is reaching out to you telling you they messed up and they want to make it right. These people poured their hearts into this game and they want it to be better just as much as you do. Lastly for all the people upset about the xp debacle. You have every right to be upset. In the midst of all the scandal with micro transactions this was not a pleasant discovery. But if you come out and make hateful comments about how bungie is full of liars and thieves, then you are simply wrong. Bungie immediately reacted, clearly confirming that this was indeed happening and taking steps to improve it. They never hid it from you, and they immediately took the blame. It shows me this company is dedicated to righting those wrongs that are out there. So please keep the door open with bungie and keep the feedback constructive. Bungie is doing their part it’s time for the community to do theirs. TL:DR - the livestream was cancelled for a blog post where bungie is going to address all the problems with the game. Give it a read and make your judgements then. Let’s make community feedback constructive to support a company that is genuinely trying to make things better.[/quote] Yeah D2 sucks

Just gives me more time to watch Lena Dunham fisting porn. Nice.

I stopped reading when you said Bungie is listening to community feedback. Really? 3+ years should tell you otherwise. Not to mention that very recently the community as a whole has been saying since D2 launch that the MIDA Multi-Tool needs to be addressed. Bungie's response? "The weapon is where it should be and we've play tested to determine that *some* weapons can match it." The fact that they did nothing about the problem, and furthermore admitted that not all weapons can match it, means they didn't listen and they don't care about the major imbalance in crucible. Please don't say things like this just because your fanboyism is shining through. I loved the first game, but D2 is a major flop. Bungie didn't care until the dollar signs said otherwise. That is the only reason anything is happening now. Honestly, we don't even know yet what exactly is happening anyway beyond them saying, "we're going to address some issues." I have very low expectations for what they plan to do.

[quote]The studio is reaching out to you telling you they messed up and they want to make it right.[/quote] Unless they ACTUALLY say those words, I'm not going to believe it. The community has been pouring its heart out with some very honest, honorable, and reasonable people giving well reasoned feedback here, only to have it ignored over and over again. Unless they're willing to actually come out and say "Look guys, we realize we screwed up by X, Y, and Z," I don't think we can take the cancellation of the livestream to mean what you believe it means. Ironically, I think there would be no BETTER time to make such a statement than when Luke Smith, THE LEAD DEV on this game, is live on screen for such a statement and admission to be made. Hearing such a statement come from THE HEAD guy responsible for the current state of the game would make a HUGE difference IMO. To hear someone with decision making power come out and openly admit that they made some really bad decisions, but they're going to reverse course and get this game back to being Destiny - yeah, THAT would actually change things, even if such changes wouldn't come right away. But that is not what they're going to do. They're not going to make live statements. They're not going to take hard questions. They're NOT directly interacting with the community. They're going to make a blog posting instead, which will have been reviewed to the Nth degree and sanitized of everything that could look bad on the game and the company. The bottom line here is that I actually think they're playing it safe in order to avoid having to answer some real, hard, legitimate questions and to save face from having Luke Smith have to go out there and say "we're going in the right direction." And again, Ironically, people don't want them to play it safe. We WANT them to own up to their mistakes, and not only that, but to be held ACCOUNTABLE for their mistakes (Looking at YOU Jon Wisniewski and the rest of the sandbox team). Because it is the very definition of insanity to have the same people doing the same things and expect different results. Part of getting different results is simply admitting the wrong decisions they made, but the follow up to that is DOING something about it and telling us exactly what they are going to do about it. By doing that through a blog rather than through a livestream, they're actually trying to avoid any misstatements or slips-of-the-tongue that could further tank the franchise. And I mean, why would they do that? It's not like Luke Smith has a history of saying some really asinine things that further enrage the community... The bottom line here is as much as I HOPE this cancellation of the livestream indicates that they are listening and have heard us, I would have MUCH rather have had them announce that the topic for the livestream was instead going to shift so Luke Smith could talk to the community directly and take some hard, unfiltered questions and have to look us in the face and answer those questions.

[quote]They know there is problems and taking action to open a dialogue with the community about these problems. [/quote] Firstly, [u]you [/u]don't know why this stream was cancelled, so don't build your argument with that premise. You don't even know what they're going to discuss and what types of issues they will choose to address. For all we know, it will be meaningless, safe and cherry picked concerns they can respond to without starting a riot. I for one believe they will play it close to the chest and address things like vault space or shader usage. Hot topics like end game for hardcore players, direction moving forward will be answered vaguely if at all. Yes, I have little hope given their track record. This is just my speculation of course and it's inferred from their past announcements. [quote]Bungie immediately reacted, clearly confirming that this was indeed happening and taking steps to improve it. It shows me this company is dedicated to righting those wrongs that are out there[/quote] They only reacted because they were caught and since it is just before the first DLC drop, they need to ensure their fate does not match that of EA's so they can sell those DLC's. They implemented the XP throttle thinking people were too stupid to catch it, which is pathetic. They wouldn't have 'righted their wrong' had no one found out about this, they would have just continued pushing that shit.
