Promote Chris Barrett
So, it truly seems like the only person at Bungie with any idea of where the game should be headed is Chris Barrett. I will never understand why a glorified video game blogger was put in charge of this franchise. Where has Luke Smith been since all of this went down? He punked out of the last live stream after all. It also seems like the majority of these awful design decisions have come from the "throw money at the screen" dumbass mentioned above and his associates. Chris Barrett is literally the only one with any bit of dignity and common sense to to steer us back in the right direction. People should be fired, others promoted, and better talent brought in. After all, Bungie and Activision's quarterly earnings are great. Make it happen!

4 RepliesHow did that Luke Smith guy get in his position? I never seen such a clueless person. You ever see him talking? What a clueless, arrogant asshat that guy is. He should go piss off already.

2 RepliesBarrett should have been game director from the beginning instead of luke smith.

As much as I would like to agree with this, let me offer a couple things to think about: 1. It's [b][i]always[/i][/b] easier to see and rectify the issues of someone else's work. Creating your own work is much more difficult. 2. Don't forget who was responsible for HoW, which is it's own mixed bag. Yeah, PvP was arguably in one of the best states it was ever in and we did get E-Light which brought relevance to all Y1 content. But it also brought us Trials (which has been a source of contention and possibly the reason for many nerfs over they years), a very lackluster endgame in Prison of Elders, and perks like Shank Burn. Maybe he's gotten a better feel for the community since then, but I'd still be hesistant to put him in charge. Although, TBF, I can't see him doing a worse job than Luke Smith, Mark Noseworthy, or John Wisnewski.

Lol.....you must be a Bungie intern.

2 RepliesYeah, promote him for letting us now they are fixing things... in 9 months. GTFO dude.

The true plan of bungo is to give us D1 piece by piece selling it as a whole "new" concep and you can see it in exotics now C.B. came offering the old crucible system and other pices of D1 following the original project and you want to promote him? What is wrong with you?

Promote him for typing up some words on the forum ? I want a job at bungie!

Edited by cobaltcrimson1: 1/15/2018 8:19:18 PMLuke probably has a gag order from the PR department given his ability to make any situation worse. Last time I checked promotions were meant to be earned and Barrett hasn't done that. In fact the only people at bungie that should get promotions are the artists and designers down in the slave pits who have to work for these overstuffed loudmouths like Smith.

I feel bad for the live team. They are the equivalent of the sweeper bot in the first mission.

3 RepliesEdited by iDovahBear: 1/13/2018 9:05:10 PMI want them to stop letting the PvP Balance Team run the sandbox more than getting rid of Luke Smith. Sure he's at the helm of it all, but I could've stomached this weapon system if it wasn't also for the fact they watered down the quality of loot and the overall time-to-kill because of the PvP Balance Team's input... Or rather, I blame them for reinforcing Luke Smith's ideology with their [b][i]'Balance=Nerfs'[/i][/b] mantra.
