Changes the Community would like to see Bungie make.

This thread is an open forum for people to discuss the direction in which Bungie is headed, which changes they should make in regards to both the website and community, and whether or not they are interacting with the community in a manner expected of a video game development studio. While this thread is not about Destiny, suggestions or fixes for Destiny that would help bolster the community are welcomed. EDIT: The Dark Theme is a given, so focus on everything else.

  • »The singular improvement I want is clear indication of Bungie's intentions with this site. In the past (read >3 years), development was consistent, thus there was never an issue. However, as of the post-Halo IP epoch, this has become increasingly uncommon. In the preceding three years, we've seen site functions slowly stripped, under the pretense that the new IP demands code changes that the old features would no longer function under. "Fear not," we were assuaged, "such things would return, with interest, as the site is rebuilt." I accepted this because, as a programmer, it made sense to me. While I hated seeing stickies removed, private group security roles and resources excised, and mains gamification wiped out, I trusted our benevolent overlords. Looking back now, we have yet to see any of the improvements introduced back into the site. Private groups are largely pointless, serving only as a constant source of nagging message indication. They offer so little customization and control to the admins, making their operation about as meaningful as a debate on religion within offtopic. While we have seen Mentors established, as a rarely delegated role solely for customer support it hardly has the same impact that the forum roles of past had, nor what new forum roles could have if properly evolved. Webcams? Gone. Meet the team? Gone. Regular, communicative updates and periodic, participative, and comedic employee involvement on-site? Gone. We do have a nice map of the tower, in case I forget where the speaker will be able to send me on baseless quests or if I want to know where to upgrade my loading screen space ship, but that's just an ultra light one-off, not something that actually serves in an ongoing process of continual development. I'm tired of cryptic allusions and optimistic messages. Do you want a community? Just a help site? Clear cut "Yes" or "No." No more "Wait© for our Plan™ to 'kick in.'®" or "There are such awesome things you, like, don't even know." Is there actual interest from the web team? Can we expect new, interesting, and useful things? Should those that want an evolving online experience find another site? I do not demand work be done, only that clear intention be given. It's almost ridiculous that it even needs said. Not only does Bungie have a fan base that wants to grow and participate, but they have one that has proven capable of doing so in the past. "I can't wait to see what you guys do with the new community!" Yeah, we can't wait to see what you do with it either, DeeJ.
