Hey everyone, my name is Lars Bakken (aka Thug Larz) and I'm a Designer at Bungie. I work on Crucible, and have been with the company close to 10 years.
I'm here for the next hour or so, to talk to ya'll.
Please start your own thread with your question, and I'll roam around and try to answer as many as I'm able... unless of course "I can't talk about that yet.". :)

And.... I'm out. This was awesome all. Thanks for all the awesome questions, and sorry I couldn't answer them all.

2 RepliesWhy were Bastion and First Light removed from Control? They were my favorite maps but now I can only play them in Combined Arms, which is not very often.

2 RepliesPlease fix the Loot system in Crucible. I'm tired of getting nothing for winning. Not even a single engram. A couple of days ago I was playing Control and my team won and yet we didn't get anything. But one guy on the other team got Dragon's Breath.

1 ReplyOnce again bungie messed up the crucible big time! Squeeze the trigger of your pulse rifle and your opponent is dead. Empty your auto rifle's mag into your opponent and they will still manage to kill you and escape. Buffing the pulse rifle makes sense, but not as much as you buffed it in pvp! Pulse and auto rifles are BOTH rifles! The only difference it should have is the way they discharge bullets. Giving the pulse rifle a slight edge on damage as it stops firing after three bullets should be suffice but not as much as this update did. This change forced many to use pulse rifle as it gives a huge disadvantage to many who aren't using it. The change/update should give you the OPTION to pick between the auto and the pulse as equally competent weapons. Now, even hand cannon users are being over powered by a burst fire weapon. Instead of focusing on hot fixes, give us new events/contents. Not just the stupid iron banner that keeps on sucking because of non-stop nerfing/buffing. Add more vault space! Glitches will be glitches, fixing it in a short period of time is a paramount for you. But addressing and fixing glitches like the heavy ammo loss after death or having options to remove or activate auto aim is paramount to us players! Auto aim has got to go!!! Options like... Enabling us to skip stupid cutscenes we already watched atleast twice every week since we started playing destiny. Are these requests too much to ask for? Do they require too much programming in your part? Which should be you job! I still play destiny because of the crucible and the raids. The last update made the raid better and made the crucible worse, which made me entertain the idea of quitting Destiny. And just come back for the new raid once the next DLC drops... Or just accept the loss of paying for the DLC and QUIT DESTINY FOR GOOD, and stop buying games made by Bungie in the future? These concerns/frustrations are what I keep on hearing from players I play with, clan mates and friends alike.

Good gawd!! Vault space?! .... Really? A guy from Bungie offers his ear and he's bombarded with a supposed need for more vault space? Learn to prioritize your stuff and leave this guy alone

2 RepliesHey Lars... will we ever see PvP and PvE have their own version of each weapon?

6 RepliesHey Bungie, I've been wondering, there are so many improvements that could have been incorporated in the 1.1.1 patch, but you hardly put any into the game. So my question is; what is the actual reason that you don't put any of the improvements into the game?, is it that you can't be asked to put them into Destiny, or is it the sheer fact that a little thing such as making guns having better stats/ advantages would be too much hassle, like if you look at what some of the programmers said about assassins' creed unity, they said they had to re-write over a million lines of code just to allow the player to crouch. If Bungie cant awnser my question then maybe the community can, let me know what you think in the comments section below.

8 RepliesHand cannons nerfed twice and still the most ridiculously overpwered guns in the game , im done with pvp.

1 ReplyWhy haven't you implemented trade? Please don't give me the same BS excuse DeeJ gave. I know you don't want us to quit or all have Gjallahorn, but [b][i][u]WE[/u][/i][/b] as the consumers do!

3 RepliesSome people need to grow up.. I think they did good job on the game. 90 dollars divided by 300 plus hours of playing is worth the money. How many other games have you log this many hours on before getting bored of finishing it.. if you don't like the game stop playing and go cry to mommy and daddy to buy you a new game.

3 Replieswhy don't you guys add more vault space?
-
We don't have time to explain why we don't have time to complain.

Thanks for listening! Crucible is awesome. But why can't we pick arenas and have more customizable options like time, point limits, no supers, etc??
-
Hi Larz.
-
Ever tested a "one life elimation" game type for destiny? ala Counterstrike etc Do you think that game type would work In Destiny?
-
Can we ever expect a large scale 12v12 type game mode and maps? I don't play much crucible I'm a pve junky but I prefer larger scale combat than small map 6v6. Just curious.
