(Rant) Y’all should stop hating on Bungie so much

[u][b][i]They aren’t idiots.[/i][/b][/u] Bungie is not being run by a bunch of programming interns who don’t have a clue about game design. It’s a multi-million dollar company. [i]They know what they’re doing.[/i] If there’s an issue with the game that they haven’t fixed yet, odds are it would be difficult for [i]any[/i] developer to fix it. [u][b][i]They aren’t lazy.[/i][/b][/u] Do you think that they sit around playing video games all day? These people have jobs. They get paid to work all week every week to fix issues and make new content for us. Rome wasn’t built in a day. We can wait a month or two for a video game. [u][b][i]They (mostly) aren’t making the decisions.[/i][/b][/u] Most game developers are run by teams of people. Blaming the entire company does nothing when it’s always the people in senior positions (10-20% of the personnel) who make decisions about things like what kind of content to put behind paywalls, how much you should grind for rewards, what items to nerf and/or buff. I’m not saying we should stop making posts about changes we want, but a bunch of rude blanket statements that lump everyone at Bungie together won’t solve anyone’s problems. I know it’s mostly immature people saying these things. But at the risk of putting my neck on the cringe chopping block, I’m going to go ahead and post this anyways. Because I honestly think a lot of people need to hear it. Rant over.

  • Most of the complaints made IMO are regarding the BASICS required for an online MMO/Shooter/whatever D2 is. Some "game quality" complaints I've seen escalate over the last few months include: - lag across activities and platforms since S15 began is insane! - Bugs and Crashes in PAID content is escalating (Gambit, DOE & New Dungeon) - Connection Stability to D2 Servers seems to be steadily worsening - In-game modifications have created an even bigger imbalance instead (eg: Respawn times in PvP & Super Ability Scaling) - FPS and Graphics issues across all platforms - Fostering a feeling of isolation for solo players : stacking becomes a form bullying in some player's eyes These are genuine issues I have also experienced, and I agree that calling Bungie as a whole out is incorrect and misdirected. However, as paying customers would feel, surely the game they love must flow smoothly without crashes, bugs, lag, and Destiny Servers keeping a steady connection? As far as "balance" goes, it is for those whose game DON"T crash and whose connections are solid to make a statement. Thank you for the rant, however I must point out that by far and larger, this multi-million dollar company is not delivering the outstanding experience promised. Rant over.
