How does this version launch with a bug as common and bad as the sprint glitch? All you'd have to do is play one game of pvp and you'd run into it. This game is circling the drain hard if they cant even keep bugs this common from showing up in launch builds.

Allow me to clarify something about game development so you might understand. Not saying you'll agree but at least it will give you some insight. Basically it boils down to the fact that the [b]time[/b] and [b]cost[/b] of finding and fixing every bug in the game outweigh the [b]benefits[/b]. There are also other factors at play such as complex game design and tight development schedules. The people working on finding and solving bugs might be busy doing something more important. Finding all the bugs and fixing them before release would add more development time and overal cost. This would potentially delay the expansion but also increase the overal cost of the expansion and nobody wants that. Imagine if Bungie said ''Were going to delay this expansion by an additional 6 months and raise the price by an additional 20$ simply to ensure the expansion releases bug free. I can guarantee you that most players will never accept this. This is why almost every game ( especially live service games ) release with bugs being present because gaming studios know that most players will still accept buying a game with bugs because they know most if not all of them will be fixed post-launch. Does that mean it effects your enjoyment currently? Yes absolutely but it will get better eventually. Can you imagine how many hours and how many people would be required to test every single thing in this game to ensure it would release bug free? Bungie didn't even know about Dead Messenger being busted and it's through the community that they found out and disabled it. It's also not surprising that Bungie didn't know about it because as far as I'm aware they didn't rework the Exotic or change anything about it. Yet something in the game's code broke which effected the Exotic. Bugs and glitches are sadly something you have to accept to encounter when playing games like these that have complex coding. It isn't pretty but delaying an expansion for months or even a year is never worth it for the studio from a financial point of view because it also effects the player.

I’ve commented all the time how there’s obviously no user acceptance testing - I mean proper testing before and after publishing to test the player experience. It appears they wing a lot of it due to either lack of time or resources.

Keep in mind they did a stream once using "dev build" where they're over leveled while the release version has minus power so you can tell they have no idea how's the real situation is It's like me making an arena in PUBGM WoW where you only have machete but I tested it with a flamethrower and decided enemies are too weak in the test so I make them have a lot of health Very out of touch, don't you think?

This is the company that released the PS4 version, which didn't even start up.

they admitted they don't

All the employees who ever questioned the executives were fired or released. No -blam!- they dont play test. They dont want to be next because they raised an issue.

You don't need to be convinced, it's all but official. Laid off the entire QA team, the entire expansion team, & bungie & sony agree according to Jason schreier & Jeff Grubb that destiny is in its death spiral so yeah drain circling.

Edited by PlatinumWarlord: 8/3/2025 5:14:59 PMI can agree, they don’t play test anything anymore. When the whole studio comprises 10 staff members you have to give them some slack. All honesty I’ve given my own post on site. The game is such a buggy, crappy piece of BS at this stage I think I’m done. Edge of faith was supposed to keep and attract players to the franchise but management have done such a poor job that the player base Is haemorrhaging like crazy. Almost 4-5 mins for a control game, trials is in chaos, levelling in expansion is such a tedious grind only the streamers will support it as their income is dependant on destiny’s success. It’s all f..ing BS. After renegades (paid for full year, my bad) I’m out. The game has seen its apex (taken king/ rise of iron) D1 vet, and I’ve tried, I mean I’ve “REALLY TREIED” but the game is declining and well past it’s prime at this stage. Let them release Marathon, haemorrage players and cash and finally let Sony absorb what’s left of the studio for their billions of Dollars investment. The only ones who wins are the execs with the “Golden Parachute” clauses. Why care about a game/franchise when you can bail at any time a multimillionaire? .
