I have finally read from Bungie exactly what I needed to read to justify my canceling my 3 TTK preorders and initiating the uninstall option. Been fun but this is no longer the game I bought last year.

Pathetic

You may not realize this, but this is not the game you originally bought! Instead of fixing major playability issues which continue to plague the game, they have spent countless man hours adjusting weapons. This is after they announced the year 1 weapons cap at 365! What is the point in spending resources changing them when we continue to be booted to the start screen during missions at least 20% of the time! So now I have balanced weapons in a game I still can't reliably play more than 80% if the time. Is that what you think I am being pathetic about when I say I am done with this game?
-
Dude your stats are worthless and made up. From 20% to 80%, really? Sounds like you have an issue with your isp rather than bungie? Balancing is an ongoing element in any online game.
-
Nice attempt at telling me my stats. You again miss the point, or perhaps you have never been booted to the start screen during a mission. I will state it here so you don't get confused: they need to take that time and fix the game first. After the playability issues are resolved, they can 'balance' anything they want. Balanced weapons in a game that boots me to the start menu 20% of my time is unplayable to me. Criticize stats all you want, and add any other irrelevant numbers you want, and you still cannot challenge that fact! Now to the other point you are attempting to make: my ISP is better than 99% of the rest of the player base! That is a very expensive fact for me!
-
You make up a stat and call it fact. I'll make this clear to you buddy. You seem to be in the MINORITY of people that have x% of boot issues. Have you tried contacting your isp? Also try switching your router off and on. Helps in 99.999999999999% of the time and I'm 89.123456789% maybe possibly certain on that.
-
This is futile and useless. There is no point telling you my data for you have your own truth. This was nice while it lasted, but like all things, it comes to an end. Have a great day. Thanks for the exchange...
-
Bit like cancelling your pre-order over a weapons update which you've never played. Futile indeed.
-
The 3 preorders were cancelled for, of the 85 friends my clan had online, only 6 were left playing Destiny. 3 of them were in my house and 2 were 'never playing again'. I see no point in buying a game all of my friends had abandoned and I was the only one refusing to admit it was dead to us! The nerf was expected. I was relying on anything except for a real game repair to convince me that Bungie focuses on forum complaining instead of real game problems. Players complain about a weapon platform, the entire autorifle category is nerf'd! Why? Because a few cannot play a video game! The rest of us who try to improve our skills, lose a great group of guns! That is balance? No, that is bull shit! That is not what I bought when I bought into this endeavor long they. I am really happy all I spent was a few thousand hours, money and made great friends online. I love this game with all my heart, but, it is no longer the game I bought! I have no idea where it is going, but I know it will not be going onto my console in the future. What you have read is called disappointment! I do not give any care about weapons. I see the game being slowly changed into COD in space. That is not what I bought.
-
I think you miss the point about why they balance stuff out man. It has very little to do with consumer feedback and everything to do with usage stats. I could go on at great length to explain this to you but I think it will be a waste of time. Educate yourself. Read up on bungie's design pillars.
-
I know the reason they and everyone balanced weapons. I do not care about balancing when there are playability issues remaining unresolved. That is why I have lost confidence in them and this game. That need to fix the playability issues first. Weapon balancing is always ongoing. Balancing last years weapons after announcing those weapons cap at 365, and not fixing the playability issues are the reasons I made my statement. I care less about weapon balance. I care about being able to reliably play.
-
But it sounds like your playable issues are in a minority? Ever considered that.
-
You make a valid point. However, if you had my network, knew what I do in real life, and experienced my playability problems, you would never tolerate it. All I can say is that the problem is not on my end, I am not alone, and the weapon fix insults those like me who cannot reliably play despite a lot of $$ invested in squiring the best internet available today.
-
So how long have you had these connection issues?
-
I do not have connection issues. What I experience is being booted to the start screen or orbit right before the final boss is killed ~20% since the last update. My internet is better than 95% of that available for reasons I cannot disclose. I have 1:1 trillion lost packets max recorded, latency <0.0005ms and quadruple redundancy! All traffic is monitored and controlled, recorded. My network is not the problem, sorry! It is from this position, which I am disenchanted. They needed to fix playability issues, reported on this forum daily, instead of pouring resources into balancing. A lot of players, this forums reports, have problems with game play. That needed addressing, not gun stats. Who cares if your guns are balanced, when you are being booted, lagged or error coded out to orbit daily. That is why I am distressed with this balancing. It ignored real player problems...
-
It ignored a minority of users with recurring connection issues. Probably those with non-standard connections. Such as yourself. Maybe? If you're getting booted then somewhere along the line it's a disconnection issue somewhere.
-
Funny. I could laugh, but you really do not know what you are attempting to talk about. Just stick to Destiny and leave networking to the experts I employ. Thanks...
-
Dude I know far more than you think. I was setting up networks back in the dial up days. I just wanted to see how long I could keep you replying. You sound like a condescending knob. I'm glad destiny doesn't work for you x amount of time. Maybe you should get your "experts" on it.
-
Never fails for any interesting exchange of ideas on this forum to turn derogatory. When you were setting up networks in the days of dial-up, my company had developed the products you were using! That is who you were attempting to condescend! Have a great day...
-
Sorry man it was 4am and I was in one hellva argumentative mood. Respect to you sir for all that you have achieved. Did you work for Intel then?
-
For a time on 8088/8086
-
Wow, fairplay 8088 was the first desktop outside of commodore c-16s i ever used as a kid. The days of good old cga and msdos. I can see why you're so pissed with the reliability issues now.
-
I left that and went into MSFT, then decided repairing people was more rewarding. Have been doing that for 25 years now. Still work for AAPL on the side, hence the network requirements. Have to have variety in life. I cannot make mistakes, people die. I hold professionals to similar standards when they have the public trust. Bungie are professional and should hold themselves to a standard which guarantees excellence.
-
Variety is def needed in life. So are you a doc or a psych? Apologies to you man i have been disrespectful. Anyone who dedicates there life to helping deserves respect.

Trauma Surgeon...

Much respect to you sir. Doubly so in fact.
