(I don't know if this will work but it may be the only way to actually get Bungie to formally respond to its community. Date suggestions are welcome.)
[b]Bungie Ignores The Community/Empty TWABs[/b]
After a few weeks of issues, concerns and quality of life problems through Reddit, Bungie forums, YouTube and Twitter - we are met with TWABs having very little to no substance addressing the community's concerns aside from the blanket statement of "we hear you." It's simply not enough. A simple list of concerns you are aware of and are working on would appease the majority of the community. Everyone wants this game to be great and enjoyed for years, but if you can't level with us why should we continue to support you?
[b]Professionalism and Responsibility[/b]
As a professional gaming company, or any professional for that matter, has a responsibility to meet a certain level of expectation and standards. If you fail to meet standards it is your responsibility to stand by your failures and fix the issue - Own it and make it better. There are no excuses for delivering mediocre communication to a struggling community that is failing to understand what is going on. Help us have confidence in you.
[b]Three Years of Destiny and Destiny 2 is your answer?[/b]
The issues that plagued Destiny are either still present in Destiny 2 and features are removed from the game entirely. At the end of D1 you were on the right track to making greatness as we all thought D2 would be the ultimate answer to content droughts, story and PvP balance.
Features and improvements that were present in D1 have been removed and not even replaced. The inability to choose anything for crucible or strikes is incredibly concerning.
Lack of loot is a huge issue when fixed rolls are now the norm and hardly any legendary armor sets with the lack of varied stat rolls for the same set of armor is just strange. Reskins feel lazy... where is this huge loot pool?
Why is the vault still a sore subject? We have been asking for a large and organizable vault for 3 years and this is still an ongoing issue.
Why is there no strike specific loot? Public events are a better time investment when there's no real point to taking the time to play a strike.
Why is there no extensive character customization? Same old D1 shallow experience of customization. It's strange at this point.
Why do we still have a shallow Multiplayer experience? We can't choose what game type, vote on maps or have a great solo queuing option? There are tons of solo players that could have a great experience for match making filters to match solo vs solo or a permanent list. Far too many times are solos playing 4 stacks.
The end game is so unrewarding. I can go on this subject for a long period of time. But apparently you already know.... cool.
Make competitive ranked playlists for us. Everyone wants it and appropriate rewards.
To be continued....
What are your thoughts? Should we organize a blackout or strike from the game so that Bungie actually responds? We deserve to know what is going on if we're going to continue to support your game.
