On one hand it’s very funny that Bungie’s security against leaks was just hoping influencers would be on their best behavior and fulfill their pinky promises. On the other I don’t think leaking marketing materials is that big of a crime and I’d rather Bungie do stuff like this online than waste the jet fuel + Covid risks of piling everybody into the office so they could see the exact same materials in a different location.

Maybe everyone should just have a big settle-down.

e: if this is our best defense against Bungie’s stupid new marketing strategy of “we’re not telling anybody anything about the upcoming season until the day it releases because all you suckers bought the annual pass anyways” I say let it ride, leakers

it's Very Bad because it can gently caress with the "engagement" ecosystem, which is a critical part of the FOMO imperative. the drip feed of content first to a privileged few and then to the masses at a pace that a publisher wants fucks up how the publisher wants the community to engage with the product.

why follow bungie on twitter when one can learn something 2 weeks before an official announcement from a leak?

then if people aren't clicking through your twitter feed because they're not following the official product account you lose that valuable UTM data that you can then resell to analytics companies, other production studios, or leverage to exploit your userbase more efficiently!

It's very bad because Bungie may get negative feedback for some of their bullshit decisions early, which means they won't be able to ignore the community. Shameful really.

I get you’re thinking like a business here but I feel like even that line of logic doesn’t make sense when the people following leaker accounts are the ones who have all already bought into your product completely anyways.

I don't even understand how "leaks happen because FOMO". That doesn't make any sense. People have FOMO because bungie doesn't announce things earlier and therefore leaks good because people know earlier?

What difference does it make if you hear a leak about a thing happening in two months or the day before? Especially when you can't exactly prepare for it?

And while I understand the fear of FOMO (I know what I said) out of a lot of live service games Destiny 2 is one of the ones with the least content subject to it. That they have officially said "yeah, we aren't vaulting expansions any more" and "we're making a playlist for those cool seasonal missions and we're bringing them back" helps. Seasonal exotics are in the kiosk. Old seasonal armour is loving everywhere. Seasonal guns are basically in the world pool right now.

Old battlegrounds are getting rolled into VOps, and besides story missions you don't actually really lose anything when the four seasons go away. Maybe it used to be different, but right now the only meaningful thing you can miss out on are the ornaments in the season pass. That's it.

I'm fine if people want to complain about micro transactions or game mechanics they hate or whatever, but it's hard to think of seasonal content as FOMO fuel anymore because it's all still around, and honestly seems like it will be the trend.

Except Leviathan patrol zone. Miss you bae. Yeah, I'm the weirdo who liked containment.

Yeah he's 100% one of those guys who thinks because he's good at the game and good at entertaining people, he knows how the game works, so he'll say poo poo like "why doesn't Bungie just add a fully fleshed out forge world to Destiny" or "the Telesto event is the worst thing Bungie has ever done to its fans because it's not a Whisper/Zero Hour-style event" and completely mean it.

As someone who has not yet used any loadout slots, is this problematic since DIM, from my understanding, does the same thing but better?

That’s more a problem with the whole loadout system

The 4 slots specifically is a problem because it wasn’t true until the last patch

good to see the excellent programmers at Bungie still havent fixed the launcher/stream/elevator thing in this weeks mission from dumping you into the void randomly

e: aaaand the servers died right as I was about to finish the mission and get my seasonal challenge done, christ all loving mighty I hate this game sometimes

e2: it wasn't the servers lol this loving sack of poo poo game booted me for some battleeye bullshit (I dont cheat or use any mods or anything) and now the login servers are throttled so I guess I probably won't get back in until the mission is done so then I'll have to do that whole long buggy mission again

turn down your fps to 30 or 60 and the gravlifts will not deposit you into the void

The servers are never down unexpectedly whenever I go to play (which is definitely not daily) so by anecdotal data extension and law of the internet you're all lying and trying to gaslight me into believing this 100% reliable and functional game has sudden unexpected issues with logins and general stability.

Devious and scroundrelous of you all.
