People don't get what it takes to create new stuff (Development)
Hi dear community,
I roughly think that the most of the people that "hate" out there, without any single constructive feedback, about the DLC (or the raid lairs) know what it actually takes to develop such a big ass raid.
Like have you done well coded programming before? Modelling? Animating? Sound effects? Mapping?
I'm not trying to defend this game, it's more that I wanna say that you should think about the people behind the game, in the studios. They're just normal people like you and me and they use their time to develop you guys something to play, have fun and enjoy. And after that they get hated to death with nonsense hating? How would you feel as a developer? And obviously it's gonna cost you something, would you code hundreds of hours, if not even thousands of hours for free?
As a developer myself, I can tell you, it's not easy, it takes a damn lot of time and effort. And after that we'd love a "thank you" instead of a "f**k you".
Not saying you should love the game completely after this, but understand the work that has been put in.
[b]This had to be said:[/b] At least some respect to the developers, designers & co. would be appreciated, instead of all the braindead-hating. Everyone has their opinion, but think about it, before shouting it.
[i]Thank you for your time
Lots of love for the community & the workers

1 ReplyI agree. As a developer also, I consistently see a lack of understanding of what it takes to do software and game development. I can't blame anyone, they just don't know. Players think Bungie has unlimited development resources and should be able to fix anything by tomorrow. It doesn't work that way. Something that appears to be a simple fix isn't always a simple fix. Even if it was, code changes have a process they have to go through and it takes time. Since Bungie doesn't have unlimited development resources, players needs to realize all development work is prioritized so the most important items get done first. A player may think their problem is important, but an understanding of the prioritization process is needed. A couple of key items is how many players does a problem affect and are there any workarounds. The fewer the players affected and the more or better workarounds, the less priority any one thing has. An example is all the calls for LFG like options in the game. I'm certain it's not a high priority because of all the sites like LFG and the100.io. Bungie likely considers those sites viable workarounds so the priority on adding it to the game is low. If those sites didn't exist, then the priority would be higher.
