Good to hear from you Deej, I thought Cozmo and dmg kidnapped you at some point
They did better than kidnap me. They reinvented the job and show me how it’s done.
Can you teach 'em how to make it heroic? :)
Heroism cannot be taught. Only earned...
That's fair enough, apologies.
No apologies needed at all! This is a fair piece of feedback that I see from time to time. Every E3, someone reaches out to express frustration that we are saying the same things in all of our interviews. The reality is that we talk to different outlets to make sure the same message reaches as many people as possible. Life would be a lot easier if we could just say something once, but we strive to be inclusive with our invitations to join the community. When you see us being repetitive, imagine that we’re trying to send the next public event ally (or crucible victim) your way.
I know. He's genuinely good at his job. I don't dislike him at all. I'm just saying that it's frustrating to read stuff from DeeJ because you spend half an hour reading and come out not having really learnt anything.
I'm sorry that was frustrating. That certainly wasn't the goal. This was a conversation with someone who wanted to write about how we include our community in the development process. You're not likely to learn anything new about that, because you live it with us. The intended audience for this article was people outside of our community who wanted to learn about what we do on a more philosophical level. The TWAB is written for you. This was written for curious onlookers who observe from afar.
Glad you like it here! Nice to see you met a cool guardian.
This is why we do it.
Oooo, a Reznor fan. The more you know!
I really hate to name drop - and I almost never do it - but he was my favorite studio tour I ever gave.
As a fan of David Fincher and Trent Reznor, I see what you did there. Did you share this on Twitter?
As a member of our community team, these are my favorite stories. Yes, I picked the wrong moment to share my own once, but I'm glad yours was well received. Timing is everything, eh? As a member of the Bungie community since 2004, I have formed bonds that have become some of the longest-running friendships in my life - people I still play with to this day, when I find the time. When I came to Bungie, my hope was to pay that forward. Imagine my fear that Destiny would not duplicate the social phenomenon of our previous titles. In the end, the Destiny community has outdone all of my wildest dreams. Thank you for being excellent to each other.
Read moreCould we get some clarification about what's going to happen for PC players from 09/17 to 10/01? The battlenet listing for Destiny 2 says that on 09/17 support for D2 will cease and players will have to migrate to the new platform in order to continue playing.
Does this mean that PC players will be unable to access Destiny 2 during these 2 weeks? Or will PC accounts be able to access Steam's version of Destiny 2 sooner than new purchases?
Also, I'm going to have my PC finished before cross save is available, if I purchase D2:Forsaken with my battle net account, would I be able to transfer that license to my "cross save" account?
Clarification here would be greatly appreciated.
I will look into this and confirm: My understanding is that no one can play Destiny on Steam until Oct 1. You'll be able to keep playing until then on Battle.net. I'll look into the details on what purchase available will be for PC between Sept 17 and Oct 1. Don't @ me.
PS4 account - Has Forsaken
Battle.net account - Has Forsaken
If I migrate my PS4 account to PC and then move to Steam will I still have Forsaken? Or do I need to buy it again?
Game licenses will remain platform specific. You do not bring games you bought for specific platforms with you. In your case, you bought it twice (thanks) so you can play it in both places. Of course, New Light will simplify this for a lot of players who want to move from platform to platform to Crucible and chill.
So does Cross Save work with Battle.Net until the move to Steam in October?
This is my understanding on the matter. Yes. On August 21, Cross Save will support Xbox, PlayStation, and PC via Battle.net. Steam and Stadia enter the mix later.
What Deej said: "...future evolutions of the Crucible,".
What the community heard: "Crucible going forward is not going to be the Crucible you know today," or "we're removing Crucible but I can't actually say that so I'm going to mince words,".
What Deej likely meant: The Crucible is going to grow from where it is currently. Implying that the essence of the Crucible, being pure PvP, will remain; but there will be changes.
Let us hope that it's positive growth.
Sorry this was confusing. It was a live fire exercise. This is why I like to write shit down and let a dozen people look at it before we F5. Anyway, what I really meant to say was that the Crucible is going to grow from where it is currently. The essence of the Crucible, being pure PvP, will remain; but there will be changes. Rpaulv, keep an eye on our careers page.
So is it true that Canadian Guardians get Hockey Sticks instead of swords?
No. None of this is true!
Is it true all Canadian guardians will automatically say sorry after every enemy dies?
I've heard they are very polite. I'm under the impression it sounds more like "soarry..." though.
Hey dad
They pulled a tube of my blood and proved that you are not my son.
Hey. I pre-ordered from walmart.com the day it went live as it was appearing that the Collector's Editions were selling out rapidly. I called my local Wal-Mart and walmart.com (two separate companies, apparently) afterwards about the code and they both said that Wal-Mart (physical stores) weren't participating in pre-orders AT ALL and that walmart.com wasn't giving out early beta access codes.
Just an FYI. The people at the local Wal-Mart kept telling me it was a walmart.com issue and the walmart.com people had LITERALLY no idea what I was talking about or how to help me. Just thought it was weird that y'all had Wal-Mart on the pre-order page listed as an approved retailer offering beta access.
I was able to cancel my order with Wal-Mart and order through Best Buy (although I'll have to wait until 10 AM on launch day to pick up my order and play... grumble, grumble). Best Buy emailed me the code. So, all is right in the world but Wal-Mart caused me some serious anxiety for a few hours.
Anyway. Something that may need to be looked at, as well.
Doing it now.
TL;DR: /u/deej_bng broke my bot that auto posts these. I'm sad.
Sorry this post was delayed guys.
Don't put this on me.
Well, Deej used to be SUPER active here, but the subreddit overall was too hostile and toxic towards him, so he really limits his posting now. It's really unfortunate, we used to have an extremely reliable line of communication directly from the sub to Bungie, and too many people here were dicks to Deej, and ruined it for everyone else.
Whoa, whoa, whoa now... That's not true. There was that one week where I stopped trying to pacify people when Xur sold No Land Beyond for the fifth time in two months (Can we laugh about that now?) and vowed to focus on solutions to the problem instead of posting about it here. That has been mischaracterized as me throwing up my arms in frustration and leaving this sub forever. That never happened. I'm around. I post if there is a fire to put out or a huge issue that needs attention, but that's Cozmo's gig more than mine now. By and large, the conversation here is great. I read it. I appreciate it more than you know. There are times I get the urge to jump in and talk to you like a fan of the game can, but then I think "Naw, don't derail the train - it's right on track." I was a smoker for twenty years. A little toxicity can't scare me away. Mind you, I like it when we're all respectful to each other and our criticisms are constructive, but I'll still listen even if you shout and use a...
Read moreLOL!
I guess we can laugh about it now. Good to know.
Do you have a secondary account that you use to discuss the game that no one knows? I've always wondered what it would be like to have a widely known account vs a personal one, and how people treated them differently even posting the same type of content. Also, I think it would be fun imagining you being the potential author of every comment I see and reading them in your voice. Especially the very....enthusiastic ones.
Nope. I have nothing to say that I'm ashamed of. I do find it more valuable to listen and learn than to talk on Reddit. I talk enough. This format provides me with a valuable opportunity to hear from all of you. When I interject in the discussion, it gets disrupted, so I choose those moments carefully.
