It's hard to think positive when someone is giving you something you don't expect in return. Imagine this: Wife asks husband to get her a cake. He gives her candy instead. Wife asks husband to give her a blue car but he gives her red. As it continues to be like this over a long period of times, wife will starts to think if he truly care about her or not. That's how I feel about Bungie. Fans asked about many things but Bungie gives us something different in return. How do you think we feel?

Edited by Necrogen: 3/9/2020 11:56:20 PMHow do you think the devs feel every time they make hard decisions to maintain the health and integrity of their game? You aren't in bungie HQ working on it. You're giving a measly 10 dollars every 3 months and pressing buttons. You have the luxury to sit and complain but I guarantee you if you were behind the desk, you'd have a different opinion on the game.

[quote]How do you think the devs feel every time they make hard decisions to maintain the health and integrity of their game?[/quote] If I was making the decisions they are, I'd feel pretty bad. Sometimes the player is wrong. But not every game is driven by a game wizard who knows what is actually best. Luke Smith didn't tap into some divine source of BEST GAME KNOWLEDGE when he took the top job. Sometimes the devs are wrong. Sometimes the devs put rocket launcher kills into the iron banner quest without thinking and utterly ruin a week of Iron Banner. A season after putting in a quest that locked 90% of players out of Iron Banner items until they took that step out too. Sometimes they decide that dual primary is the best choice for the game. Sometimes they design boss encounters with damage phases against static targets floating 30 meters in the air, and then get annoyed because too many people are using sniper rifles. Sometimes they look at 3 years of posts asking for changes with Stomp and say "Nah" Sometimes the lead tells you that retiring weapons creates design space, despite that statement being a logical implosion. Sometimes they put an armor mod in that gives an overshield to void ability activation when Handheld Supernova is already overperforming. Sometimes they decide it would be cool to make a long, hard to see nightstalker super far tougher than any other super and then wait months before realizing just how dominant it is. Sometimes they talk about weapon variety and then introduce a champion system that funnels players hard towards a small handful of weapons. Sometimes they even realize that they have made mistakes. But what they don't do is make their community feel heard.

It doesn't need to be an E-Peen measuring contest with who is worse at making decisions for the game here. I can see you're biased towards the devs way more than you are towards the community. It's better left that they both don't know what they're talking about at certain times.

Ask 100 players what they want and you'll get so many varied answers you couldn't possibly implement it all.

Exactly And if you don’t like your wife, then that’s your problem for falling into that trap
