343 has made a lot of promises in the last week. I want this thread to serve as a reminder that promises mean nothing. This is a company designed from the ground up by Microsoft, to make them money. The only way that any changes will occur is if you speak up and withhold your wallets.
If you don’t speak up, they won’t know what the community wants. If you keep paying them, they know they don’t have to fix anything to take your money.
My personal choice is to not buy anything from the store until season 2 or until I see some serious improvement, and I hope that you’ll do the same.
We have a modicum of power over corporations with our purchases, and if we’re all fed up enough, we can multiply that power. It may work, it may not work, but I’m sticking with it until I see some major changes.
Also, since I couldn’t find anything against it in the forum rules, I’m gonna post it here. I made a video in which I say exactly the same thing as this thread. You can send it to any of your normie friends that don’t troll the forums, to try and convince them to help out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZVsnrvswmU
Yeah, I know . But that’s exactly the reason I believe we need to all do every little part we can. I know a ton of people who have bought the battle pass and really regret it. People like that are already onboard as it is. You can’t undo the past, just try differently in the future. And I bet we all know like two or three people who keep spending $20 a week on the store. Like he said, that’s what keeps it alive. If we can convince them they’re wasting their money, who knows what might happen. Like I said I’m doing it either way regardless, but it would only be pointless if I didn’t try to convince others as well
They know 100% what the community wants, but it’s up to them to decide what to do and what to listen to. At present, their work efficiency and decisions are unsatisfactory.
I’m sure many would have had second thoughts. I have a really bad feeling this game is going to be dragged out so long just to even get a decent amount of content added to the game, that I’m willing to bet they don’t even have a lot of the content produced yet. Hints to that “10-year-plan”.
It kind of feels like things might go this way. With such a muddied launch, it’s hard to imagine things going any better than that.
What I also find strange though is how much content they showed off in the marketing campaign leading up to launch, but how little there actually was upon release. It almost seems like there were a lot of last minute decisions to cut a lot of things. Artists and developers might’ve been heavily stifled.
Hopefully everything that’s missing and considered part of the core game will be out by some point in season 2. Working theater, Forge, Custom Games, etc.
I’m taking a guess but I bet they are going to use that cut content as a filler. Bungie pulled this and it’s why D2 base game was a disaster, mainly because they couldn’t keep up with supply and demand sorta speak.
Taking on too much at once so things are going to get cut, and that also means a lot of corners being cut as well in the future which isn’t a good thing for us.
The worst part about that is they already had six years to create whatever in the hell this launch was. It’s hard to imagine that giving them more time is what’s going to fix the situation…
Imagine being constructive in any way. Like I said, it probably doesn’t end up working. But every raindrop raises the sea or some -Yoink!-. No point in not trying.
I agree. Even from a business standpoint I don’t see how putting out a barely functional game is good for making money. Any whales you might have snagged and made loyal will be onto the next f2p title in six months, instead.
What’s disturbing is how many players just accept the mediocre work put into this game, if you can even call it that knowing we are literally still playing the Beta.
This generation compared to when I was growing up are easily manipulated into believing “less is better”. it’s actually scary seeing how players have been conditioned to believe this is how games are created. No, it is not, and a lot of them need to open their eyes.
Gaming is getting a hell of a lot worse as time goes on producing content and the companies expect us to pay top dollar
