TOP OF POST EDIT:
I have read most of your replies (except the obvious trolls). Clearly not many people agree with me. I confess up front to HATING the current technology, except where it relates to video games. I despise cell phones/ tablets/androids and all the "apps" they spawn. I think they actually have led to a loss of something in our society; let's call it "civility", where people in the same room would have a conversation without pulling phones out every 5 minutes.
So, having stated that I am a cranky, late-40s male who hates phone apps to begin with; here's the original post.
So, look. I know you're very proud of this "app".
But I think you should have thought it through a lot more. Maybe run it by a highly logic-oriented person such as me. Who would point out that it makes NO sense whatsoever, and you shouldn't do it.
There is NO in-game way that a character can get something instantly from the vault in the Tower, when the character is on Mars. Is there? If we had technology that advanced, why aren't we just beaming ourselves to Mars, instead of using dropships?
So how can it happen through a cell phone?
What (now) is the point of the Vault existing at all? Why not just go all the way and make it a shared, in-game storage area that every character can access from the inventory screen? Do away with the pretense that it's in the Tower at all. Because right now, it not only makes no sense, it is actively unfair.
You have effectively disadvantaged players (like me) who A) don't have phones that run "apps" and B) don't choose to keep a computer running at their side when they game, as well as C) wanting to play the game straight, as it was intended! This "app" actively works against players who use foresight and planning, and advantages those who play by the seat of their pants, but own a cell phone!
DeeJ, you have created a cheat system for the Vault!
And now it's too late to take it back, because the 10-year-olds who scream on this forum will cry so loud if you take away a toy you have given them.
Do this- just wait 3 weeks and announce that it's broken down and repairs are underway, and to prevent anyone's items getting lost when being transferred, no-one can use the mobile app. Then never bring it back. It will be like it never happened.
BOTTOM-OF-POST EDIT: Obviously, DeeJ is not going to listen to my rant, if he even reads it. Nor are the devs who put this thing of theirs together. So have no fear for your mobile vault app, it's not going anywhere. This is just me venting about something that makes NO DAMN SENSE to me. A very few people seem to agree with me.
So I am going to just ignore the mobile whatever-it-is, and you kids carry on with what you were doing before you read this.

Push off....

Why do people believe deej works on the game directly. He is a community manager, not a designer.

[quote]Maybe run it by a highly logic-oriented person such as me.[/quote] Well, do you know how to run/fix: Networks/Coding/Bugs/ and keeping up with feedback. A lot of pressure comes with this job, perhaps you should revise yourself and let the steam cool.

Edited by putridcarnage: 3/2/2015 5:22:47 AMThis is dumb. I agree with your point that this feature should be available in game, but to propose that it be removed until that happens is completely ignorant and disrespectful. Nobody cares if you dont have a smartphone or are anti-tech. 99% of the player base has a phone/tablet/laptop that they can use this feature with, and abesolutely loves the fact that they can transfer items on a whim regardless of whether they have to whip out an app to do so.

Whaaasaaaat is this fool spitting out his mouth. You are in an extreme minority with your thinking you might even be the only one. Getting rid of multiple tower trips just to change gear and weapons is probably the single best thing bingie has done yet.
-
I... I... I just give up. I'm volunteering now to go live on Mars to get away from people like this. Anyone want to join me, maybe we will run into the traveler
-
4/10 weak attempt at trolling.
-
Actively works against players with foresight and planning... Ehhh then you dont need the app, because you planned your run, correct!? [spoiler]if answer is yes: delete post, you got ik planned ;)[/spoiler]
-
We get the best update ever and you manage to complain about it.... "Golfclap"

Edited by CommanderLouiz: 3/1/2015 3:55:38 PMIf you have enough Money to Buy a computer, a gaming console, Destiny and an Internet connection, how do you not have enough to buy a smartphone? Edit: if your idea was implemented, it wouldn't be a vault anymore. It'd just be another section of inventory.
-
Bzzzt: Wrong Answer. This is an immense time+energy saver that will point the way for Bungie to make Vault Inventory easier in/game. I understand your frustration at not having the App handy, but it's a short-term reaction. The bigger picture is bright and beautiful.
-
You are an idiot. Mobile vault is easily one of the two best things Bungie has done since the game came out and you want to remove it? (The other is fixing the heavy ammo bug) How much time was wasted by pointless trips to the tower just to swap weapons and gear between characters?
-
I stopped shortly after "highly logic oriented". Y U so full of fallacy?
-
Did you see the size of that gate lords head your ghost materialised for you ... Same thing dude ... Also ... Get a better phone And for those saying stuff disappear ... It doesn't it just almost instantaneous once it leaves ... The problem is the message telling you there is no room on your character or vualt is barely noticeable meaning you can jump then fun thinking you've moved n lost something that's still where it is. Used pretty much constantly since its release ... Not a single issue beyond that message
-
I stopped at " no sense whatsoever... "
-
I think this is the first guy to make a pointless post about the mobile value well done
-
Materialising sparrow is unreal please remove bungie your dumb It makes no since that when i die i can get revived pls remove id rather start a new character I dunno how my warlock shoots purple stuff, it scares me and makes no since Earth would have ran out of oxygen a long time ago so idk how enemies are breathing, you really should have thought that through I noticed gravities broken as well, on every plant i can jump super high, my max jump is 2ft on a good dsy, pls dial it down Guns shoot metal quit makin crap up and giving them elements I should be able to tap a button to go stealth, idk if your intension is stealth button is attached to butt in game, but it doesnt make sense so just quit it When you wanna talk to me about a realistic science fiction game bungie, lemme know "Im listening"
-
There's gravity on the moon and you complain about this?
-
You sir are a retard! What a Noob you are!
-
You're a twat - deej well done it's a great addition
-
You really can't please everyone. The reason this has been implemented via the app/website right now is because those platforms are much easier/quicker to change and update. I'm sure this feature will make it to the game soon but will require a bit of an overhaul to the UI. My guess is that when the new, bigger vault drops, we'll see a new UI and will have the option to transfer stuff in game (maybe whilst in orbit). This is just a stopgap to help with people who have run out of vault space and also save you changing char and running back to the tower if you've forgotten something.

Edited by Boom: 3/1/2015 10:25:25 AMWhat is the point of this thread? I love being able to switch gear and weapons from the app. "It's not real, if we could do this why wouldn't we just beam to mars" You realize you just said to mars right? It's a video game,Who cares. it's a great addition to the app that makes my game time much easier.

Edited by AgonisticBear: 3/1/2015 9:24:07 AMWait, wait, wait...so you wanna get rid of one of the best features bungie has introduced to the game? It seems you either want the game to get worse instead of better...or you just forgot a #satire tag.. Edit: wait actually read the posts below now...didn't know you were scared of the presence of modern technology whilst playing a video game less than a year old. My sincerest apologies.
-
think of it this way, space magic.

I really don't get the response to this thread. lol. The vault and moving items being accessible from the companion app and website is nice and it's a step in the right direction and I'm not going to say I don't use it, but it feels more of a stopgap than anything else. Why go through the trouble of implementing it in the companion when you can just put the system in the game itself without any access from the companion necessary. It just seems silly, although incredibly useful, to me to have to do it on my phone while I'm in game when I should just be able to access it quickly while I'm playing so there's no interruptions. I don't see the fuss because it's literally the exact same thing, just quicker.

more than a few have claimed that after using this app the items moved have disappeared several clan warning emails have been sent out regarding this as of now I would use this app at your own risk for anything that gets deleted bungie will NOT address
