No, I have reasons why I'm upset. I just don't blindly kiss a devs ass after they've taken a dump on my lawn.
Edit: albeit, that would be a quick way to get shit-faced.

As an old man i take a different approach to games. First thing i do is look to see who is the PUB. Then i research the history of that PUB and the games associated with them. Then depending on the dev i will give them a year to see what improvements/content is added in that time frame. I see that you're upset but give Bungie one year. Never know maybe Crooktavision will let Bungie be Bungie 😉

I can't even log into the game! Every time i try the raid I get KTO at the same place. I have 2 lvl 29 characters who are stagnant now because of this. I get shafted after nightfalls with ridiculously horrible rewards. No, they had their chance for nearly 2 months of devoted play. Now it's a chore. I'm not wasting any more of my time on this game because it's clear that the engineers at bungie have no clue how to write code, or even understand what the code they do write will actually do in the game. Had I done something similar at my job, I would have been fired and replaced. If it takes Bungie a year to fix this idiot fest, then it's obvious the game was not ready to be released, which shows a lack of good decision making on their part to not tell Activision they needed an extension. Any way you look at it, the quality control is not up to the standard it should be at. Defend this game all you want, more fool you than me.

I had connection issues as well, i provided Bungie the problem i was having error codes. They emailed me and asked i was still having connection issues. I told them whatever they did my connection issue is resolved. If you look at where the gaming industry is at right now nothing should surprise you anymore. I just pick and choose which PUB/DEVELOPER will gey my hard earn money. Like i said since Crooktavision is PUB i knew going into Destiny what to expect and guess what I'm not surprised at all. Now i'm just hoping Crooktavision lets Bungie be Bungie.

Nothing should surprise me? Well I'm pretty surprised that a company as renowned for quality as Bungie is would dream of releasing a problem riddled product like this knowing full well it wasn't ready for distribution. That, sir, surprises the hell out of me. If it doesn't surprise you, then maybe your expectations are on the low end of the spectrum. Non-software based products of this non-functioning variety would have had a recall by now.

I've been gaming for over 30 years nothing surprises me anymore I'm old lol.

So have I, and so am I. But it is surprising to me when games are rendered unplayable by their developers because the developers don't understand their own code.

I code for a living it's harder than people think. So many factors effect the coding. The biggest factor internal testing and going live to the public is when the bugs pop up. During the internal testing everything is fine. Once it goes live to the general public then you find out the bugs it's crazy lol.

Edited by MortarGrunt06: 10/30/2014 6:24:17 PMYes, i understand that, I've been coding for as long as I've been gaming. Bungie should have known that too. The bugs started as soon as their first patch took effect, which was immediately. That should have tipped them off to the conflicts in their code, but no, they just said "let's see what happens." Then they patched again, and more errors came up. As they've patched, the problems have compounded. Any intelligent person would have STOPPED PATCHING and started reviewing the the patches to find the conflicting code that was causing the problems, not continued to write more code and add conflicts to an already conflicted system.
-
Lol that's true i can bet what you just said is happening right now at Bungie. That's the next phase in the coding process. I think that's why bad doo doo and thorn haven't received a buff yet. Most likely they are looking at the code for all guns. Since they coded the guns to effect PVE and PVP.
-
Yeah, so... Yeah. In the meantime, since I can't actually play the game through the patchwork code, I guess I'll go back to games that do work. That is my Destiny.
-
Hope in one hand and shit in the other, then tell me which hand fills up fastest. Hoping Activision lets Bungie be Bungie is absolutely useless. You think it's Activision's fault that Bungie engineers can't fix their code without breaking other aspects of the game? Very naive viewpoint. Bungie's incompetence is their own fault. No other game I have ever bought has been simply unplayable because of error message after error message. The game code is faulty, and no amount of contact with Bungie will resolve it.

Come on did you not play GTA V online i couldn't log in for a week. Then they still had server issues for like a month. ESO same issue Diablo same issue lol. Its how the gaming industry is now. Release broken patch later nerf buff etc. Yes Destiny is in the state it is due to Crooktavision, but I'm still having fun. I will give Destiny one year before i pass any judgement. That's enough time to fully see where the game is at. Regarding improvements and what not.
