Not to beat the same drum over and over again here, but these past three weekly updates have been so out of touch with the community, especially given the current state of the game, and what easily has to be the worst seasonal content offering we have had since Season of the Drifter back in Year 2. There have been countless threads on these forums offering key pieces of feedback regarding the complete lack of any meaningful PvE content this season, the lack of any updates to the core of the game, the lack of any attention to broken progression elements (Triumphs and Seasonal Exotic Catalysts), the lack of any attention to eververse criticisms, and I can go on. It honestly feels as if your team is taking a specific set of magnifiers to community feedback and only picking out specific points of interest or the heaviest of criticisms, while the rest of the playerbase burns. It is disheartening to say the least, that when there are numerous topics on these forums that are filled with great constructive discussions with simple, small to develop ideas, that cumulatively would contribute to a much better overall state of the game, they are completely ignored. Sure though, let's reply to the praise topics, let's reply to the topics from the ultra-hardcore who only have a voice through their twitch audience. I come here week after week hoping for something that will turn the page, something that will show that you are "actually listening", but I have yet to see it, and it's frustrating. I have put so much time into this franchise, and I have been with it in many of the low periods, and yet this time feels much worse, this time it feels like we're pushing to the end. There were so many indicators that your teams had from Year 2, so many easy to see statistics of why doing anything similar to the offering of Season of the Drifter again would be downright terrible for the state of the title, but here we are, you shoved a hardcore PvP activity in the face of the community, completely ignoring the PvE playerbase and the casual community, and your only feedback response to it is, we see the feedback regarding token farming? Seriously? What about the matchmaking feedback? What about the engagement feedback? The fact you put so many resources into this mode that was doomed to fail from the beginning completely baffles me, nothing you do outside of completely redoing it to allow for all players to earn the rewards given enough effort will be enough, and even then, I'd much rather see it crash and burn at this point rather than waste another season of content on trying to fix it, we already lost ritual weapons because of this, we don't need anything else lost in expense of Trials. Transparency has never been more needed by your studio than right now. You needed to use this week to get ahead of these major issues, especially given the fact that they are now starting to become apparent to the moderate audience of the game. You need to tell us what the heck is happening, why are these seasons so devoid of any kind of meaningful content? Is it so hard to go and make some minor adjustments to make some old content relevant so at least there is something else to do? I have advocated for this so many times over, but you need to get your developers involved with the community in these discussions to get a "pulse of the community's wants" at any given time, hell, I'd even start doing weekly dev. streams where you invite some developers on and answer questions directly from the chat, just do something to engage with us, and engage much more often. At this point, it feels to me that this season is a complete lost cause, I only hope that you take some serious notes from the failures of it and come back strong in Season 11, because this has gotten bad to the point where I'm considering being done after this year.

  • Keep it up. I think the only way to cause a change with this is to just stop playing and keep communicating. Don't buy silver, don't do their dumb bounties, or play Trials of the streamers and cheaters. Don't do patrols or strikes. Just shut it off. Half measures won't get things done.

  • Spot on, I've seen some really great feedback suggestion posts that are just ignored. A lot of them are just a list of small things bungie should be able to fix in a season.

  • In a week if they had any semblance of development talent or care for their consumers. Even Bethesda treats their players better.

  • Yeah haha, IMO, Runescape is a business to look up to, anytime there's an issue in game they usually roll out fixes in the next week or two. Given there's a bunch of stuff that is wrong with the game with new patches, they seem to fix it by the next hot fix. Then when all is good they bring out new content when it's ready for everyone. osrs will always be my favorite game.
