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!

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!

I appreciate the continued support I’ve been receiving, and hope to continue this well into the future. Stay classy, Bungie.net.

      • Nice supdate as usual, Burn. Concerning the recent changes, as I said in Deej's thread, it's a double-edged sword. Sure it gets rid of a lot of alts and possibly some toxic users, but it also gets rid of loyal and old users. I think Bungie has to realize that it's their methods of moderation and lack of a punishment/reward system that needs evaluating. Sure, getting rid of Google and Facebook sign ins helped reduce alts, and this current change will make it harder for people to create alts on the go, but it also punishes the few who don't have/link Destiny. I appreciate the fact that they realize something has to be done with alts and toxic users, but I really think there is a better way to go about doing it - their method seems as if it's the quick and easy way of doing it. Personally, I think it's unfair that a lot of people who invested time and effort into the community are going to be push off the site. There are probably several of them more deserving to be on the site than someone like me because they actually participate(d) in the community. Unfortunately, this change is basically locking the forums behind a paywall. Again, I appreciate them trying to do something to help improve the community, but it just doesn't seem right. I really hope they decide to revise their decision and at least give people with a significant tenure (maybe 3 or 4 years) a pass.

        • 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.

          • I've already made so many different posts on Bungie's backstabbing, there's little more to say, but I'll respond again. I (not me; this is representative of many people) played Myth, Marathon, Halo, and maybe even Bungie's original Desert Storm-based game. -blam!-, I'm the reigning Gnop champion! But, because I have no internet access, no console, no time, or maybe because I just don't like it, I have never played Destiny, Bungie's newest game. Now I'm not allowed to post on Bungie's forums. DeeJ thinks this is Destiny's community, and nobody else's. Well -blam!- you too. I've been here 11 years. I've participated in organizing and enjoying countless community-led projects that Bungie itself has benefited from. I am one of many who are in part responsible for Bungie's success; we have been the fanbase that supported this company for quite some time, making Destiny even possible. And now some of us aren't allowed here anymore. This could have been a lapse in understanding, admittedly. Maybe it wasn't thought about hard or long enough and nobody realized they would be getting rid of real, loyal users. After all, the intent was not to get rid of them, it was to get rid of the cowardly scum that pollute our forums. In which case, a sorry would totally do and we can recommence the party that has been being a member here (well, a party that gets crashed now and again). But if it was realized, that is dispicable. If so, you have become a tool. You're the disloyal ones. Good riddance. If this doesn't change, I will stop playing Destiny and cease to bless this forum with my presence, all out of principle. I truly get wanting to get rid of alts. I've wanted that for a decade. But not at the expense of users who have supported this community longer than some of Bungie's community team have even worked there.
