Tl;dr The wrong things are getting implemented. The important things are getting ignored. The right things happen way too slow. Bungie, there's one thing you MUST do to earn customers, morale, and most importantly money Simply give CUSTOMERS what they want. Just look at your latest sandbox preview ---- Is there a single thing that ANYONE asked for??? Yeah maybe a thing or 2 but PRIORITIES. I have never ever saw any company who IGNORES THEIR CUSTOMERS' VOICES as badly as bungie. Eat this with the original article alongside. - Hipfire reticle improvements: Nobody asked for it; nobody complained about it, but QoL changes are always welcomed. Not a pain point. - Deterministic recoil: pvp crowds like it? Hate it? Idk i'm not a pvp tryhard but I've not seen a single post asking for it before it was a thing. - pvp sandbox changes: cool. Should have happened EVERY MONTH instead of every season, way too slow. BTW where is the 30th anniversary sandbox which every pvp player has been begging for? And where are the new (old) pvp maps? - Featured weapon expansion: Every post I saw has been asking for EVERY EXOTIC TO BE FEATUERED, or for the whole featured gear system to be completely removed. Instead you jsut have to half--blam!- it and add only 10 weapons and 6 armors. [b]Weapons & Perks:[/b] - Mida multi tool and sturm modernization: Should have happened 2 years ago. It's waaaaay down there on the priority list on everything that should be addressed after EoF's abominable launch. - Tarrabah: Who asked? Who tf is using this thing? You keep saying data-based tuning but when its usage is abyssal ---- you nerf it??? BTW the thing we asked is for the meter not decay after swapping. Make the decay only a thing in pvp if you care about balance. We've been asking for separate sandbox forever. If someone decided to use this trash in pvp, they would spend some time to learn this difference. Nobody f*cking cares except your team who decided to go against player's will time after time. - Hawkmoon: it should never have been an exclusion when you did the lucky pants rework. BTW where's Harbinger Exotic mission and craftable hawkmoon that players who care have been asking for? Where's your priority? - New land beyond: ok cool who asked. - Lord of Wolves: Again who asked for this nerf? Who complained? And it niche, non meta-defining. Fun police behavior. - Grand Overture: Yeah nobody is using it SO LETS NERF ITS RESERVE. Ok I guess good thing for the zero person total who used it for the ad-clear explosion. - Queenbreaker: Ok now you really have some problems with your brain. LFR weapon category TANKED with your repeated nerfs ESPECIALLY with the removal of reserve mods. Now nobody is using Queenbreaker or any LFRs so lets nerf its damage. Please learn how to think in logic. - Exotic primary super regen nerf: who asked. BTW fix Hierarchy of Needs' exotic catalyst timer. And Barrow Dyad is still not currently obtainable. Talking about priorities. - Thunderlord: It's a f*cking exotic. Why? Who hurt you? WHO F*CKING ASKED??? - Whirling Ovation: Consider this weapon DNE. - Burning Ambition and Enhanced Perks: A welcoming direction change about enhanced perks. One thing that I actually like in this note. Credits where it's due. [i][b]Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock?[/b][/i] - Temporal Blast nerf: OK so if you decide to actually balance these you need to make them permanent. I'm so tired of weapon and armor mods leaving every f*king season. The build crafting depth is already so shallow in this game pls. And Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock? [b]Now let's move onto the (ridiculous) armor tuning (I'm about to vomit):[/b] - Stronghold Rework (Nerf): Nobody asked for it. You just have to take this fun thing away from the handful customers that actually enjoyed it. Disgusting. - Cyrtarachne’s Facade: You know who's also struggling for survival? Strand warlock ---- even less way to gain Woven Mail, and we hate healing rift. [i][b]Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock?[/b][/i] - Relativism: You know there's a problem but you still decided to ship it? QC? Hello???? (Oh I forgot you fired them for Pete "Microsoft" Parsons' vintage car collection my bad.) If you need multiple weeks to change 1 number, you are the problem. - Chromatic Fire rework (nerf): Again nobody asked for it. And now you take it's only redeeming quality to make kinetic weapons possibly sinergize with your elemental build. Chromatic Fire without chroma, and without fire. Also [i][b]Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock?[/b][/i] - Contraverse Hold rework (nerf): I don't even have energy to be angry at this point. 1. Nobody is using it with anything other than vortex grenade, ever. Reverse the nerf. 2. Make Chaos Accelerant 3 fragment slot. You know what? The weaken grenade thing should be on the aspect instead of Contraverse Hold if you dont want to give it 3 fragments, solved it. 3. [i][b]Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock?[/b][/i] [b]Abilities[/b] - Gambler's Dodge: This thing's whole existence is another melee charge. Nobody wants to "bring back the gamble"??? - Lightweight knife: No comment I don't play pvp that much. - Woven Mail duration: Seriously what do you want us to do with 6 seconds of DR? There's near to no way to extend it on Warlock. Also [i][b]Where is horde shuttle on strand warlock?[/b][/i] - Stats change: Again, they fired their entire QC department. These bugs should have never been shipped. [b]TWAB[/b] - Portal Reward buff: "You can't just back out of Poland, H**ler. We saw what you did!" ---- Skeletor. Why is Pinnacle power grind shipped in the way it is? Why can you even get tier 1 and 2 loot in the raid in the first place? "A chance" at tier 5 in EPIC RAID is crazy. - Trials Rewards: Why can't you just let us focus whatever we want instead of what you want??? - Armor set perks: Too weak, don't care. - Dungeon Lair: It's an encounter. Call it an encounter. Why don't you ship dungeon loot with tier system with it? If I just want normal loot that I can get everywhere else then I would not play a dungeon encounter that cost significantly more time and effort. You just have to half -blam!- it. - PS Can't imagine when they bring the final encounter of the Titan dungeon into the portal, absolutely the worst piece of content in the entire game. - Epic Raid: That absurd streaming requirement is...just telling on where your priorities are. Unless your belts are made of pure 24K gold labubu dubai chocolate then you absolutly forget it's supposed to be a game. When 70% cheated, not saying cheating is right, you have to think about what YOU did wrong. Also Epic Raid should drop Tier 4 loot minimum. Additional feat bumps it up to Tier 5, and more feat for more loot. Did you forget it's supposed to be the hardest content in the entire game. [b]HALF. BAKED.[/b] - Ash and Iron Trailer: Imagine bringing back the SIVA map without SIVA weapons. Can you be more distorted? Is it just so hard to give players what they want? It's about what WE want not what you want. - Probably not popular my own opinion: We need more vault space. Maybe even less popular: I am willing to pay more for potential server/storage cost. "but you should stop hor----" nuh uh uh stop right there. More vault space is what we are asking for, to improve our experience, and nothing will be changed to your experience. It's the simplest, fastest, and most effective solution to an imminent problem, without compromise. It does not hurt you. The right person needs to actually took at the feedbacks and pass them to the right person. Right now, it's either that nobody is passing these feedbacks, or the feedbacks get passed to the wrong person, or the decision makers are ignoring the feedbacks, or the feedbacks are implemented in a twisted way, or the feedbacks are implemented in an unreasonable timeframe, or the high priority ones are put behind ones that dont matter, or.... I'm jsut rambling, you get the point. This is not what we want. Maybe you don't agree fully, or at all. I'm a paying customer so my opinion should matter, jsut like yours. I love this game, I want it to be better. There is nothing else that can scratch the itch. But whatever is happening right now isn't what should be happening. Please actually hear us, not just pretentiously saying "we are listening". The word "player" sometimes strips too much away from what we actually are ---- "paying customers". We made your livelihood possible. Do better. Also that skeletor video about EoF from Tom Christie is highly recommended. Sums up current community thoughts very well. And it's funny.
