Bungie Community Humpday Supdate. (September 30th, 2015)

This is the first supdate I have written where I’ve been legitimately upset. For those of you who may be reading this supdate, but cannot contribute, I am sorry. I don’t think there’s anything any of us can do in the meantime to fix this problem, so I’ll try my best to offer some solutions to alleviate the issue a little in this week’s supdate. [u][b]Big Time Update.[/b][/u] If any of you haven’t noticed, there was an [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/158166641/0/0]enormous website announcement[/url] today. All accounts that are not connected to a gaming account that hasn’t played Destiny are banned, for all intents and purposes. As expected, for something of this type and scale, the response has been… less than enthusiastic. I would recommend calling poison control before entering this thread, because people are [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eifPUvi7kA]spitting venom[/url]. [u][b]What’s Going On?[/u][/b] Another week, another bunch of hot topics. Shall we take a look? In #Destiny, [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157458373/0/0]secrets[/url] are being uncovered. The method of uncovering this? Breaking the game. Burn is asking some serious questions in #Community. [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/136717427/0/0]Have you heard of the mythics?[/url] [quote][i]Note: This thread is old, but I believe it is still relevant[/i][/quote] #Offtopic has brought about the most recent news from NASA...[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157425298/0/0]liquid water on Mars.[/url] #Gaming mourns over the death of the MC...[url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157343393/0/0]by a guardian?[/url] Finally, Enigmatic Entity has made a thread to find what the community [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/157264776/0/0]thinks qualifies as a quality thread[/url]. That's it for this week! See you next week for more hot topics! [u][b]Mail Sack![/u][/b] [b]Zøøb[/b] asks: [quote]Guess what?[/quote] What? [i]*crickets*[/i] [b]Foudre Fondue[/b] asks: [quote]How do you feel about "The Taken King" Expansion so far?[/quote] I've been enjoying it greatly! The story is simple, but the characters and progression is enjoyable. Also, as a lore person, I've been enjoying the new background story. [b]Mechetti[/b] asks: [quote]Thoughts and what you expect from Crackdown 3?[/quote] I'm excited. I didn't enjoy Crackdown 2 as much, but I'm hopeful for the third installment. [b]Sapid Statefarm[/b] asks: [quote]Did you see the blood moon?[/quote] [url=http://i.imgur.com/MJmLE3e.jpg]Yes.[/url] [b]II Smiggles II[/b] asks: [quote]Thoughts and what you expect from halo 5?[/quote] I'm interested in the whole "ONI" scenario. Have you been listening to "Hunt the Truth"? It has been fun to follow. I also want to see what happens between the two teams. Tune in next week for the next mail sack. Cheers! [b][u]Game Night Recap![/u][/b] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/1535]FCAW[/url][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1535/156098761/0/0] - Myth Game Night - (9/25/15)[/url] [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/1535]FCAW[/url][url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/1535/157545166/0/0] - M1A1 Game Night - (9/29/15)[/url] FCAW hosted their [i]usual two[/i] this week. Myth on Friday and M1A1 on Tuesday. Only a few games were played in Myth, but a couple of them lasted hours. And, everyone played on a new version of Marathon 1! [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/156464359/0/0]Halo: MCC Game Night - (9/25/15) - 7:30PM EST[/url] There was an impromptu MCC Game Night this Friday! Always nice to see one of those pop up everyone once in a while. Thanks to [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/739369]Headhunter[/url] for hosting, and I hope everyone had a blast! Special End Note: The Game Nights section is unfortunately absent this week! Due to the The [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/15287]CC[/url] and [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/1535]FCAW[/url] Schedules for October not being posted yet, we really don't know what the Game Nights for this next week are going to be! You can expect an FCAW Game Night on Friday and Tuesday, and possibly a Weekly Destiny Crucible #Carnage. Maybe even some [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/99465]TFL[/url] Game Nights... Well, I guess that's all, folks! See you next time! I hope. [u][b]Private Chapter Spotlights![/u][/b] If you’ve been condemned by Bungie’s new [url=http://farmwars.info/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/SEP.jpg]innovative[/url] [url=http://www.whatdoesitmean.com/free1.jpg][This word requires a SecondClass® Premium Membership to view.][/url], I’ve got some places for you to inhabit while some of us work on a more-permanent solution! Check out some of these groups to keep you preoccupied. [u]Seventh Conflux[/u] The first is [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/520845/0/1/0]Seventh Conflux[/url], the [url=https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/533019418373025792/whFoGrg0.png]group that hosts[/url] the supdates! Seventh Conflux is a group that focuses on the Bungie Community as a whole, intent on the upkeep of traditions that have endured for over a decade. It is open to all members, and overseen by many well-known community members from every corner of the site. The current reigning group owner is [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/User/Profile/213842]Rollin[/url]. [u]Art and Stuff[/u] Art and Stuff is a group about… well… [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Detail/39813]Sports?[/url] It’s a hub for talented content-creators from Bungie.net, currently owned and operated by [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/2062634]Progo[/url]. Give it a look if you’re interested in the things we can make! [u]The Friends List[/u] [url=http://imgur.com/K5hUBUh.jpg]TFL[/url] is a more selective, tight-knit, active community on Bungie.net. It is the original home of the supdates, and strives to bring quality conversation and community to a website in which it is lacking. Member admittance is a little more strict, but worth [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Forum/99465/0/1/0]a membership request[/url], since you’ll likely get in. The group is owned and ran by [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Profile/254/31279]El Burninator[/url]. [u][b]El Burninator’s Burning Question.[/u][/b] How do you feel about the recent decision to block non-destiny using accounts from posting? [u][b]Wrap-Up.[/u][/b] Thanks for dealing with all my shit, guys. In the weeks following, I’m going to be working on a lot of things in my corner of the website and beyond, so I don’t know how involved I will be in the Supdate making process. I appreciate the continued support I’ve been receiving, and hope to continue this well into the future. Stay classy, Bungie.net.

  • At least some of the more undesirable members have been evicted due to this recent site update. What bothers me most about this whole thing is the betrayal of Bungie's justification behind one of its less recent and even less popular modifications to the game of Destiny. When the announcement of the gjallarhorn nerf was made, many players were outraged at the lack of value placed on their achievements. This is no different. It may be a tiny demographic of members, but some have truly come to this site for Bungie's previous masterpeices and stayed for the friends they made and community they found. These people may have not gained the same interest on Bungie's current projects, and have simply not invested the time and money the game Destiny demands. The act of alienating these people from this unique site has shown how little the call to make friends and find community means to people who watch it from the outside.
