Subject: Weekly Updates :: Updates on Chapters

I remember when I used this space to put cool looking links to my chapters back in the day. I don't even know why I'm using it now. Why are you even reading this? You must be interested in me. Still reading?

Every Friday morning I get up and see if the Weekly update has been posted or not (usually not) so I wait till later that day for the Update. I expect to see an update, notice, anything concerning chapters. I haven't heard anything about them for the last month.

The 7th Column still reads as it always has:

Groups have been temporarily disabled. We are currently rebuilding Groups to be better integrated with the rest of bungie.net and have more features and functionality than they have had in the past. However, this takes time, and as the old groups do not function in the current design of bungie.net, they have been disabled until further notice. We hope to have them back online within a few weeks. At that time, your groups will return, and should include better functionality and reliablity than ever before. In the iterim, we apologize for the delay.

I though "within a few weeks" meant that we would be our chapters back in no time, no big deal. I guess not. From the announcement of the New Hawtness 2.0 to it's opening was about a month to a month and a half, why so long for chapters? I understand that the web team is taking their time and all but can we at least get an update?

I am a "Chapter Guy" and I am really excited about the re-opening. I will remain patient but just an update on them and I will be happy. :)

Yeah. I mean I can understand why it could be taking so long to bring them back but I'd like to hear something about them. Before teh new hotness I was a constant Group user but now it's like they don't even exsist. Whenever I log in Bungie the first thing I check is to see if the groups are back up or if any news on them has poped up but so far I've had no luck (obviously). Some news on them would be great.

I've taken to hanging around the flood while the groups are down.




I want them back as soon as possible.

I just want to know one thing: will they be back before or after the Halo 3 beta starts?

I feel all your pains, I to basically only ever used chapters and the main forums for recruiting... I also refresh teh page twice every time I login just incase.

In my opinion an update is a good idea to help me sleep at night lol.

Yeah, an update would be nice. It's been what, 2 months nearly?

Yh well I have done other things. I have made another uber site which isn't just to do with gamers and has clanmatch rankings. It is only a few weeks old though and I can't contact my group members to ask them to join so it is a lost cause. At least it has forums...

From what I understand, chapters do not have a priority at the moment, as the web team is currently occupied with getting everything done for the halo 3 beta (stats, game views, that sort of stuff).

Maybe they are just trying to make them good again, and if so that will take some time.

...leaving as-yet undisclosed H3 weapon images to be found before hurriedly removing them... [;

I'd love to see Groups back as soon as possible - there's so much cool stuff going on right now that I really want to discuss with other members of our groups! I set up an IRC channel but not everyone can get on there... I can't wait to see them back, but even an update saying "they'll be up after the Beta" would be better than no information at all.

My friend (resPawn) and I have been waiting for groups to come back because we loved to join them and thats where our activity was. Now I barely go on Bungie.net because I have nothing to come back for. I too want an update on the groups, "a few weeks" doesn't really mean a few months.

In my opinion, it's still no big deal. It's only been a few months.. They'll return. :P I can wait, there's plenty of discussion on these forums, or I'll go play some games. It's not dire, but hey, when they return, they return.

Achronos has noted that the BETA is the number one priority. The groups could still be weeks away. I have been spending more time in other forums.

The forum is the only place to do anything anymore in the community so we all have to get to like the forum or just remain inactive until the re-opening of the chapters.

I'm afraid that bungie.net has a severe rat problem, they will soon sort that out.

On topic: It's the work on the Halo 3 beta and Halo 3 itself that's delaying the work on better and kick ass groups.

I am sure they will incorporate some cool Halo 3 touches, but I have no clue when we will see them. After the BETA perhaps?

That's a very small viewpoint.. There's plenty to do in this community. All you have to do is think about it for a bit. ;)

Now, I doubt that Chapters will come back before Beta comes out. Perhaps a patch for Halo 2, even. But it has to be before Halo 3. That, I know. they can't have all their loving members secluded in groups for long before it is released, but they must have groups back so that their community is fully revived. Unless, they have something BIG planned... and we all have to be out in the open forums to see it.

I new patch was released a few days ago! I am guessing we have 2-5 weeks until the re-opening. We will see.
