*AND HIS TEAM
So everyone remember Chris? That emo dude with nice shoes from House of Wolves and then Rise of Iron. Well, basically, in my opinion, he was one of the developers that started to make D1 a better game. House of Wolves was (again in my opinion) the start of the turning point for the fundamental changes D1 would go through, for the better. Sir Barrett blesses us once again. All hail the king.
New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits.
Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities.
Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors.
Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018).
Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules.
Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games).
Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards.
Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful.
Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication.
New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards).
An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.
There's more we're working on. We'll talk again soon.

It's a shame the live team and the main building team couldn't get together to incorporate most of these ideas from the beginning. I'm sure the live team was like "yo, they loved all the strike loot and what we did to rank up packages...etc" then the main team comes back ahhh yeaaa well we're almost finished sooo yea, good luck.
-
You mean they're adding stuff that should have been in the game from the beginning?
-
Just empty promises.

-
You people are actually pathetic in believing that things will change (for the better). It's actually entertaining.
-
You realy believe anything Bungie says? D2 end game is a joke. To not use what was good in D1 should cause people to be fired.
-
Yeah, whatever you say.
-
None of this even matters when the last sentence reads, "An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time." How good of a job do you think Bungie is going to do fixing this game? Please, let's be realistic.
-
Good keep playing this trash
-
I mean wow. Great. Fantastic. You people do realize that if they don't say this exact thing right now that this game is dead in the water. No wonder they said this. Hmm.. All this crap should have been standard and more. Bottom line it is once again too little and too late. Just like the last three years. It's fukin old man. And everyone just falls for it again.

Edited by Squeeze A Snack: 10/27/2017 3:58:52 AMEveryone bought into the puppies and loot hype, this is just empty talk to placate, tepid at best, what are better rewards, two tokens instead of one? this is just garbage and is not any substance whatso ever. no talk of the bs shader issue, not talk of random rolls, no talk of choice of crucible except private matches. Tell us what you are thinking with your catch phrases "better incentives" and "better rewards" without random rolls and harder to get good stuff all you gave us was more smoke to blow up our butts.

D1 flash backs all over again....
-
It's a good sign of future changes. But I still go back to why are these changes needed? They should have known this all from the D1 experience....
-
Why couldn’t we have had all that when the game released though? That’s what I wanna know! Why release the game when it was so clearly under developed? I love the game don’t get me wrong, but they need to stop rushing it out the door then scrambling to fix/complete it.
-
Why wasn't this shit in the game already?
-
Not bad, but gonna save my judgement when it arrives.
-
Why not have this guy take Luke Smith's job? He seems to have a better grasp of the community than anyone at Bungie...
-
Gotta hand it to the live team, they know what they're doing when it comes to content, lets hope they can drive this one home
-
Call of duty wwll
-
Maybe they should just make him a community manager ...? Then again, that might f with his mojo.
-
Awesome news, glad to hear they're working on this. Thanks for sharing!
-
The guy is a loser
-
Help if they spent less time with the damn emotes the game would already be better. I know like 10 diffrent uses for the d-pad that would make the game better but no they would rather waste it with damn emotes.
-
But no content, no change in armor or weapon system. All that i can get is we will get extra token, extra engram that we already get a lot of it. More loot will not save D2. We need overhaul in this core game.
-
If they can only change one thing....give me a choice in crucible. I will leave supremacy EVERY TIME.

ITS TOO LATE
