Bump.
I'm beyond having faith in Bungievision. The only thing that could reverse that is a real statement on the forums from the higher ups AND DeeJ. I want to know that they know they -blam!-ed up, and I want DeeJ to know he's failing as our community liaison. In the beginning I was on his side, deflecting naysayers and reminding them that this is not his fault, but the fault of his employers, and that we should criticize them.
Then TDB hit. That was when they removed commenting on the weekly updates, and we have been on a downward spiral ever since.
I see now that this is as much DeeJ's fault as it is Bungievision, as he makes no effort to connect with the community, instead choosing to tap out measured, robotic responses to threads, responses that only come once in a blue moon and hide from all blame as much as possible.
We can't communicate AT ALL with these people, how can we see any changes?
The thing that breaks my heart even more about it all is that there are those who will turn on their fellows and say "Bungie is right, the community is wrong, and we should be lucky they let us play THEIR GAME."
Lucky? Tell me who would be penniless and an embarrassment if they didn't let us play "their game," white knights.
We can keep pressuring them for matchmaking, weapon buffs, better PvE rewards, bug fixes, real story content, streamlined currencies, and any other thing that Bungie ignored to make their quick billion, but, at the end of the day, if they've shut us out then we have no hope.

Bungievision? Oh, no. As I said earlier, Bungie had came up with great ideas. Pure gold in the eyes of the gaming community. Activi$ion, on the other hand, makes some 'finishing touches' that change the whole story, the content, the gameplay in general. Activi$ion holds all the cards, and Bungie hasn't a clue. They are just trying to make a good game from scratch and will take any advice they can, but next time, check with the community.

More than that.

Edited by Lost Sols: 6/1/2015 6:37:30 AMGreat post :) I actually did not realize that about the comments on the update. I've always just read them and guess I didn't realize there were comments before. They're need to update their promotional material, because none of it seems too apply to well anymore.

The promo material was a con to build hype. Updating it would be a huge insult to our intelligence.
