God I remember having so much fun on the Bungie forums back in the day. Oh Bungie what happened. It's like you have a cool uncle and then he touches you.
it sounds reasonable until you realize that 1. it excludes Destiny 1 owners 2. The forums have been around since the Halo days which excludes members that have been there since day 0 [QUOTE=Damjen;53117983]3. You can't post in Offtopic and Games sections which have nothing to do with Destiny franchise.[/QUOTE] [editline]8th February 2018[/editline] Imagine having an account that was here since 2006... and all of a sudden a sections cut off because you own rust 1 but not rust 2 Fuck. That.
so bungie moves to create echo chambers of only those who purchased destiny 2, hoping they're fans enough to just toss out all the "hatred" and just ignore the complaints, however constructive or trolly though they may be.

[QUOTE=J!NX;53117999]I seriously wonder about that one, what the hell does this even do for anyone[/QUOTE] keeps those poor bungie employees from having their feelings hurt :(

The old Bungie is long gone.
[QUOTE=Cmx;53118009]keeps those poor bungie employees from having their feelings hurt :([/QUOTE] Bungie employees dealing with this aren't the bad ones. They're getting shit on for their bosses' and the finance division's greed.

I’ve never heard of shit like this before. This is pathetic.

I think this is actually a pretty good anti-piracy thing. Like paradox interactive locks mods and a lot of the discussions behind the paywall. That's prolly not super relevant for an MMO tho lol, and that really does suck that they've locked off the ENTIRE forums.
That first sentence in the video is so on point.
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;53118142]That man? Old Man Activision[/QUOTE] The analogy can also work if Bungie is the kid, who is so excited to go live with his Uncle Activision. And Activision showers the kid with presents for a while, before telling him to pull down his pants.
[QUOTE=Rocâ„¢;53118142]That man? Old Man Activision[/QUOTE] DAMN YOU BOBBY KOTICK
I'm gonna agree with everything he said besides one off-topic part. In what world can you offer negative feedback on ResetEra and not get immediately banned? It's literally worse than what NeoGAF was, and that's saying a lot.
For whatever it's worth you can just download and play the free trial and get access back.
What is Bungie trying to dig a 10 mile hole into the ground for?
Here comes Bunglo with a response [video]https://youtu.be/giQ_dcEnEBI[/video]
Two of my friends pooled all their WoW gold into buying me this game. With how Bungie has been handling things, I'm glad I never spent a cent on this game. I'd lie if I said I didn't enjoy playing the game at first but once I was doing Prestige raiding, there was no real reason for me to get on anymore outside of showing up for raiding.
I almost don't even care anymore because its a cycle 1. Bungie does dumb thing 2. People get mad 3. Bungie responds 4. No one is surprised that step 3 happened 5. Go back to step 1 If it was a drinking game you'd be chugging the bottle and reaching for another [editline]9th February 2018[/editline] Calling it now, Bungies going to do another dumb thing, people will get mad, and then they'll respond. I'm betting the suns going to come up today again too. Anyone want to bet against me?

Oh well, would be better spent than on those fucking engrams on the Eververse.

We're listening to the Community and we're going to act on it soon. :v:
[QUOTE=J!NX;53117976]Imagine having an account that was here since 2006... and all of a sudden a sections cut off because you own rust 1 but not rust 2 Fuck. That.[/QUOTE] I would buy the game, but only to keep shitposting.
We're listening to your feedback.
Breaking news, Bungie takes a shit in the bed yet again
How long until they pull a Bioware and just begin banning folks if they criticize Bungie or the game?
