Urk, is stosh making you jump through a bunch of hoops?


I can't believe I just did all of that.

This is at least the third, probably fourth or fifth update in a row where Urk has crammed in a lot of irrelevant stuff to make the update look full without it really being full. I mean, coffeebots? Recycling human hair? I'm all for randomness, really. But this is excessive, especially on a map pack release.

Stosh cannot be blamed for this. C'mon, Urk.

Like I said on the last update, maybe I've been spoiled for good updates since I joined in February '10 in time for Reach goodies. But this is... bad.

I'm not typically a complainer, but I felt really good about [My Falcon Pic], and alas I didn't even make the update at all.... Are my emails going through? Are my shots not worth comparing to the all-too-popular "Cone People" pics???

I am a very pestamistic person. I see the glass half empty, even when it's full. Dont expect much from me.

im sad mine wasn't on there. :(

Nice Update, still looking to get my first All Star feature.

I'm gonna have to stop playing around and show Week 10 who's boss.

  • 03.11.2011 5:55 PM PDT

Good update guys!! Looking forward to the future of my beta testing career =)

  • 03.11.2011 6:35 PM PDT

Good update. Thanks!

  • 03.11.2011 6:42 PM PDT

Pretty cool shots in there. Still can't wait to get my hands on the Defiant map pack, mainly Unearthed though. This weeks Blame Stosh was freaking awesome!

  • 03.11.2011 6:54 PM PDT

Soooooo,does this mean I get a star?

How do I use it if I'm supposed to get one?

I'm suddenly glad I answered the Beta tester survey the night I got it.

Also I guess my shot didn't make the cut.

Great update!

Looking forward to the Defiant Maps, and congrats to all those who were featured in today's update.

Are we ever going to hear anything about the Community Big Team Slayer Playlist that you mentioned back in January?

  • 03.11.2011 7:59 PM PDT

V: I can assure you I mean you no harm.
Evey Hammond: Who are you?
V: Who? Who is but the form following the function of what and what I am is a man in a mask.
Evey Hammond: Well I can see that.
V: Of course you can. I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is.
Alas, so many quotes, so little room in the signature box.

Wait, wait, wait. I NEED AN ANSWER! What does it mean if I got an e-mail and successfully filled out the survey? Does that mean I'm high up on a list or just thrown into a pot?

  • 03.11.2011 8:12 PM PDT

New Marathon? Thanks Bungie!

the rants were amusing

Am I allowed to brag that it was my video? :3

Nice update this week. It's good to see some more light shed on what is going to go down with the Beta surveys.

  • 03.11.2011 9:13 PM PDT

falcons are awsome

  • 03.11.2011 9:44 PM PDT

Man is born free but everywhere he is in chains.

So this means I missed the Beta survey by just a few hours?
Damn, but oh well.

*moves on with life*

So if Urk could address a few things, that would be fantastic.

First of all, when will we get more information on the Week 6 All Stars (Bungie.net Avatar Week). There were some really amazing avatars that deserve a spot in the forums. Should we blame Stosh?

Secondly, I won a star (For an Avatar, granted it wasn't the best.) and ended up being featured in this update again. I said in my email that I have already won a star and would just be submitting for a chance in the update. This confuses me, because I fully expected to not be featured again for having won before. Don't get me wrong, I love participating in these competitions, but weren't there other submissions better then mine that could have at least been featured?

Would it be against the rules to submit other peoples work using my email with their permission (To win a star for them)? It seems a lot of really good entries are being overlooked for what might be email problems.

And finally, to be the typical forum member, I can haz Defiant Code?

I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

This account is now retired due to WLID changing. Webteam needs to fix that, seriously >.>

I am currently halfway down the page, reading the replies sent to playtest@bungie. I'm pretty sure everyone recieved their own unique address in the email, yet the world can quite clearly see the ID of the guy that sent a "bug report". I hope he is fast when the survey is back online or he may find his survey is already completed for him.

edit: that was a great blame stosh, it made me giggle each of the three times I watched it.

So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.

Nice update.

Hook me up for a play-date

Again Mr. Urk, sir, I don't understand why you have such trouble picking out great screenshots. Some of them will be good and the others will be the worst pictures I ever saw. I just think you need to forget the community and let all of us artists win like we deserve. It is fair. If the community doesn't want to spend time learning effects and developing them, then that's their problem. But it comes down to if you actually liked the screenshot or not.

I would hope you didn't like most of those.

What the heck is this?
^It has no effects or anything. It is plain boring.

The top row of shots are so common. Anybody can do those and they're not even impressive anymore.

And why did you go put up the screenshot of the hornet? The rules clearly state a UNSC Falcon but you decide to go against these rules and feature his screenshot. Which isn't even good.

Thank you for actually picking this good picture. He had the best one up there and he deserved it more than anybody.

If stosh doesnt give player stats on mobile bungie net, urk dies. We, the players are holding him hostage and will kill if our demands are not met. You have (insert time for tech team to get stats to mobile) to complete or the hostage, Urk, will cease to exist.

Thank you for understanding and completing our demands.

Love,
Spartans
