Will The Dawning 2024 be the wake up call that Bungie needs?

bungie needs a wake up call: these bugs are getting way out of hand and something needs to be done to restore some stability. i'm sure they already know, that doesn't make it any less annoying to experience. otherwise, my dawning feedback is probably the same as everyone elses.

if this is a wake up call, bungie has hit snooze at least 10 times and has now missed an exam

[GainingDespair]

First time?

2017 "We really need to win back players trust"
2018 "We really need to win back players trust"
2019 "We really need to win back players trust"
2020 "We really need to win back players trust"
2021 "We really need to win back players trust"
2022 "We really need to win back players trust"
2023 "We really need to win back players trust"
2024 "We really need to win back players trust"

It’s totally fine guys, DMG said that they’re working to re-earn the players trust… again… for like the 7th or 8th time. No shade on DMG but how many times have we been in this exact same situation?

[mutantraze]

Its painfully obvious how important those QA testers were. The buggiest season by far where even the seasonal event with little no to changes somehow is bugged

[oceanheads]

The only wake-up call that I want is you whispering in my ear, Datto.

[SpikePBB]

Totally missed out on the title - 'The good, the bad & the bugly' 😜

[JimmyYYK]

How many wake up calls do we have to give them before we realize they are pretending to be asleep and you cannot wake up someone who's pretending to sleep.

I remember in a past Dawning, there was cute little quest where you gathered Cabal Ceremonial Wine as a Gift to Caitl, or made treats for Eliksni Hatchlings with Saint-14. It was a just a few menial tasks and walls of text, but at least it was an event that had some grounding in the changing universe. The Cabal were barely uneasy allies at the time and giving them a gift felt a little meaningful, helping Saint-14 do some good for the Eliksni in the city felt fun too after Season of the Splicer. We don't even get the walls of text anymore, and its such a huge missed opportunity for some really charming world and character building.

Short summary: no. 5 more expensive cars, pronto.

The last 3 months of Destiny has been great for me. Good chance to catch up on other games that I've wanted to play instead without feeling like I'm missing anything in Destiny

[TheTruthDragonNJ]

Bungie doesn't care enough about these yearly events to update Petra Venj's cookie to say "Dreaming City" instead of "The Reef" which is a place that's been long gone from the game.

The wakeup call will be when sony takesover bungie. Bungie has had a "low point" every year and nothing changes.

[omarlocke]

the state of the game is a direct result of datto’s feedback over the long term.

you asked for it, dato. you own it.

Since we're talking about bugs, I'd like to remind everyone that the Pale Heart location is still bugged and frequently giving people Guitar error codes. This affects every single activity on the destination, from basic Story Missions to Overthrows and GM Excision. I don't think they have a date for a fix yet either.

[CGR]

It’s like, how can you mess up a minor micro-transaction based event you urselves refused to change for the past 6 years. You’d expect some type of “security” for something like this with everything going on. Like: “okay everything’s been bugged but hey at least the dawning is here! no way they mess that up cuz they refuse to even change it in any way!” But… no. Even the most mediocre parts of the game are affected by this bs. I don’t mind if Sony swallows up this game/company. At least then it’ll HAVE the resources to BE bad. Rather than be bad because of no resources.

[rickijay]

To save 13min of yapping, no it isn't a wake up call. Event is basically the same. Enjoy the rest of your day.

[groxx]

No it won't. People no longer spending money on it will be the wake up call.

I found an alternative method for farming essence. Just do lost sectors where you can immediately get to the boss to kill to open the chest and where you can swiftly reload the lost sector. Regular lost sectors completions (chest openings) grant 3 essence. If you average out a strike to about 10 minutes, this method is still better, since some lost sectors can be done in under a minute (including reloading of the lost sector location so that the boss respawns), which would grant 30 essence in 10 minutes.

Absolutely not better than checkpoint farming, but good if you're completely solo.

[HDDVD-ROM]

I'm not even trying to be a dick, but I am genuinely amazed that people still play this game and there is still coverage on it.

Short answer: They didn't learn the first time, why the fuck would they want to learn the 2nd time around?
