Passive aggressive inappropriate tone from Deej and other Bungie employees

Ive been noticing an increase in the amount of disrespect from bungie employees on community forums. Just look at todays weekly update and the extremely snarky and sarcastic comments from Deej such as "omg he only has 1600 weapon parts left we need to do something" and "we hold the right to do anything with the game economy we want." Does anyone else think snarky comments like this are very unprofessional? Like Bungie you act like your some sort of hero for fixing a problem that YOU created. Here is a comment from another post that explains my thoughts perfectly, all credit goes to user Wahrnye "Just another joke of a weekly update that makes it easier to not look back on this game going forward. Announcing the weapon parts change - Fine, but that's a fix to a problem THEY created. And when addressing the fact that THEY created this problem, DeeJ wraps it up in unnecessary snark about being curators of THEIR living world. Hubris to the highest degree; it's almost as if they're saying how dare we question their choices? Let me say this next part slowly so the apologists can understand: [i][u]Etheric Light and Wormspore uses should have been in the game since September's launch, not something coming soon by December.[/u][/i] They knew Etheric Light was a thing that many people had plenty of and they also introduced Wormspore (apparently) without any regard for what to do with it outside a few weapon upgrades. IIt's going to take them almost 3 months to finally make these things meaningful? These are all issues they created by poor planning or bad oversight, not something they should be praised for fixing AFTER the fact. The rest of the entire update was about the same tired PVP bullshit as almost every other weekly update. No news on new content, no commenting on the terrible loot system - especially in regards to raid drops (I love doing the raid and getting a fourth duplicate item at 302 light... ) - or the fact that Nightfalls, Strikes, and Court of Oryx ceases being rewarding once you reach 300 light or more. I've seen this playbook before. Between this and Activision spouting off their easily manipulated "registered user" numbers (aka 'investor math'), they've pretty much already decided they're going to pander to the base players who believe Bungie can never, ever, do any wrong. Nothing will change going forward. Bungie and Activision are living in their own echo chamber - as evidenced by the fact that they spend more time conversing with the "community" on Bungie-friendly outlets like Reddit and Twitter..." EDIT: A lot of you seem to think im just looking for something to be offended by cuz im a "no balls toxic loser" Its more im just fed up with the bullshit direction this game is taking like timegating exotics that i already payed for to extend gameplay time and patching things like weapon parts for no -blam!-ing reason Perhaps the most irritating thing is the bungie fanboys and dickriders who will stop at nothing to defend everything the devs do to this game and every word that comes out of that douchebag known as Deej's mouth. Go ahead meet me with ninja justice for stating the obvious about your shit company and bottomfeeder fanboys EDIT2 It seems the common defense for Deejs tone is "oh bungie has to go through so much shit and complaining on the forums, people are meanies" You people cant seriously believe its ok for a company to retaliate in this fashion. Oh no a game developer has to see negative feedback about the game they made wahh wahh prayers for bungie" All of you are saying "can the entitled/offended generation go away", if you ask me the people defending bungie with this mindset are the "offended generation." Some of you say, "The customer is always right bullshit has to stop." Anyone who utters this is a complete moron and has either no concept of business ethics or is 15 years old and thinks they are being righteous and hip. Go ahead, start a business and whenever a customer has a problem with you or the product, tell them to -blam!- OFF. Yea thats a good business model, you will surely succeed.

  • Well said OP thank you. Honestly at this point it's just reinforcing my stance that unless Destiny 2 offers massive, significant changes for the better I'm done with this franchise. Despite the good gunplay and amazing lore (grimoire needs to be in-game guys...) I just can't keep backing them in good conscience. Between the cut content, horrible game balance and game-breaking lag I've about had it. Destiny got a free ride on good will, marketing and lack of competition but all that's changing rapidly. Black Ops 3 is out now and is apparently actually pretty good (or so I'm being told anyway) but that's still Activision so I don't count it. Star Wars and Fallout are both due out very soon and there's all kinds of great next-gen titles slated for next year. I'm sure there will be a solid base of mouthbreathers who keep buying anything and everything Destiny for the next 8 years, but at this point I'm willing to bet Destiny 2 will fall flat on its ass unless there are serious changes at Bungie. Currently there are only 2 things really keeping me playing - my friends, and lack of other real great multiplayer options. I like Crucible, I really do - the alpha was actually some of the most fun I've had in a shooter in YEARS. But since launch, the Crucible has been getting crappier and crappier and what bothers me most is that it's not because it's a bad experience, [b]it's because Bungie can't manage it worth a goddamn.[/b] Between the unbearable lag & horrible balancing in PvP, and the absurdities of the Raid and PVE in general really Bungie has their work cut out from them. Maybe if they'd stop screwing the pooch and take the time to seriously play their own game they'd realize the fundamental flaws that are plaguing it and actually do something about it. But then again it's far more profitable to just cover it up with a shiny new coat of paint and market it to sheoples.

      So if a vendor is buying back surplus wormspore then how about also buying back helium filaments, spirit bloom, relic iron and friggen spin metal. I have 5-6 fill stacks of each in my vault. I'd love to be able to sell it. I have been told by others that one could early on in the game.

      • Not even reading this. I rarely even read the updates and don't really care about them unless I see a major change. Do me a favor. The next time you quit something don't make a whiny forum post for attention. Just leave. Hitting the company in the wallet will have more of an impact than hitting them on the forums.

      • Gotta agree with you. They basically told us we will do this but we will immediately change it or take it away cause, Bungie.

        • Yes of course they can do what they want with the economy. They are the devs. But this game lives on community interaction and grinding, which means they should do what's best for the community. The community may not always know what should be the next thing they do, but it seems like they don't know either. They won't be saying that if everyone stops playing and activision stops funding them. Hell, Activision bought candy crush and can't give bungie some more money on top of that 500 mil to put in more dedicated servers for pvp

        • Why is everyone complaining about weapon parts? How many -blam!-ing weapons are you upgrading to where you don't have any left? There are only a handful you need to upgrade so I don't see the problem

            • How about you go become a well known game dev and then come back and tell he how easy it is to cater to whiny children like you every second of their day. Seriously there's only so much that they can put into their game in a certain amount of time and honestly it's impressive how well they've handled it so far. Point is if you don't like the game then don't play it but do not give those people crap about the job that they are doing right now because it's been pretty great especially after the taken king launched.

              • Knowing how sensitive the community is, why would DeeJ post something like that? I didn't care, but it has offended a lot of people. Who didn't see this one coming?

                • Deej's response was fine. The fact of the matter is that only some people are having trouble with weapon parts. Even after the update, as Bungie's statistics showed (which did NOT include inactive players) the average weapon parts count per user didn't change. I myself update weapons I like regularly and across all 3 of my characters I have 1800+ weapon parts. I've been a day 1 player with nearly every exotic and I've done just about everything in Destiny at least once. I've had no issues at all. What people don't seem to understand here is that just because a problem may effect YOU or a few others you know doesn't mean Bungie has a catastrophe on their hands which needs immediate fixing. Bungie's staff has always been a bit snarky, and I see no problem with that. They gave a solution and this IS their game so of course they can modify its economy how they see fit (which they've been doing since launch). They've also modified the game in dozens of other ways which all catered to what the fans want. They do plenty. More than other developers do, especially given some of the alleged hardships they faced. If you don't feel it's adequate, go find another game to play. Nobody [i]has[/i] to like Destiny and, contrary to what posters here think, it can't cater to everyone.

                    You little girls are in for a big surprise when you move out of mom and dads. I don't think you'll be able to handle the real world.
