It was done with the best of intentions, to try and not waste your day

"Some of the worse things imaginable, are done with the best intentions"

Wanna know why I quote this?

Me

New Zealand

Staying up all night.

Now after 7 am.

I guess my fault in some -blam!- up way. Bungie's for say "10am" mostly though.

Sudden change in account.

Doesn't look legit.

Waits for confirmation.

Waiting was pointless, because they all gone by they time they are confirmed.

Is feeling like he should fly to the US just to bunch a Bungie employee and make them feel the "LOVE" of the community.

The End of this piece of -blam!-.

Don't pin blame on Bungie for saying 10 a.m.
They would have released it at 10 if we didnt destroy the Amazon server with all the refreshing.


we destroyed it at 12

Out of stock again on the Bungie Store.

Bungie, you just lost a ton of respect from your community. -blam!- you, I hope your next game fails hard.

I hate my fat cat. He shats on the carpet.


That's not cute. That's shatting, on the carpet.

Seriously they didn't confirm it so I cancelled it because it didn't seem legit that so disappointing. Bungie doesn't even notify us that's complete horse-blam!-.

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

People need to calm down. It's a bag, it's nothing to get upset about if you still want something you can get a t-shirt or a poster.

To the people saying its unfair because they hesitated with the whole Gorilla print thing, you KNEW they were going to sell out in an instant.

Sometimes you just have to take a chance and go for it, yeah it would've been bad if it was a scam, but it looks like it isn't now, so I'm glad I took the chance.

This isn't Bungie's fault, it probably would've been hours before they got their original page updated and working. This was a smart move, and I think it was a better choice to find an alternative way of selling them rather than making the community wait for what might have been a long time.

And who knows, maybe they cut off sales like last time, maybe there are more to come, we'll just have to wait and see.


QFT

You guys need to calm down a bit, I'm sure there will be another chance. I'm sure that they had no choice, and amazon was probably involved in making a new page due to the troubles the other bag o swag page was having.

Good intentions are...well, good and all, but would it have killed them to tweet that they were going to switch sellers, or confirmed it as legit or SOMETHING?
The road to hell is paved with good intentions, and that's where bungie can go for all I care.

Oh this sucks. Why Bungie wouldn't announce this as official and had to send an unmarked employee to confirm it is beyond me. I still like Bungie, but by God they sucked in the way they set this up. Firstly limiting it to such a degree, and then re-posting it under a shady name wherein we have to risk our money?

I'm sorry to say Bungie </3.

They better not cancel the orders for the people that bought more then one. That's worse then people not getting one.

I was originally buying one for myself, which I did. I went back to buy 2 more for my siblings because they asked.

If your going to cancel the orders, cancel the multiples and just send those people one.

The radio silence on Twitter and Facebook is just terrible. All the people on facebook who don't know about the second seller still just waiting...and waiting, for something that will not come.

Lots of respect was just lost, Bungie. Not cool.

  • 06.30.2011 12:25 PM PDT

I'd cancel my order and release it back to the wild if you all weren't being so whiny.

  • 06.30.2011 12:25 PM PDT

Hmmm, I don't know what to say...

I would've been glad for the people who won and happy at bungie if they posted the Swag Bags on the original Amazon page. But instead, they disappoint their fans like this.

Oh, well, I guess I could always buy another item :/

  • 06.30.2011 12:26 PM PDT

I One Click ordered it on Amazon. Said I would get a confirmation e-mail.

Have yet to receive it. Should I be worried? Did I get a bag or was it sold out and I just haven't been informed?

  • 06.30.2011 12:26 PM PDT

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Which I did like every minute, not every bloody 5 seconds like some idiots.

All this -blam!- for nothing... ima go die now.

I doubt Amazon pages can be copied. So they had to change a few things "Bag of Swag" instead of "Bag O' Swag," 4 Pounds instead of 3.
Posted by: komark
Why can't I order one? Also, why were the old bags 3 pounds, and the new bags are 4 pounds?

Looking for people to play ODST with? Join the HEV Recovery Team!

Can somebody clarify something for me? I tried to cancel my order when I became doubtful of the authenticity of the "Bag of Swag." Now when I check my order, it says "Not yet Shipped." Would it say "Canceled" (or something like that) if it was actually canceled. I really hope I messed up my cancelation of the order...

Oh look, they're on the Bungie Store now. Nice job, asswipes. -blam!- you bungie.


The bungie store still links to the old amazon link.

I'm not going to be rude, While I am utterly disappointed in the way this turned out, Bungie has still done more for us than most other companies will EVER do.

Nobody here has the right ("you have no rights, play nice") to curse Bungie out for this.

Honestly, I even saw this coming, and had searched for swag bag on amazon's search in case they set up a different listing, but I stopped doing that hours ago, because I assumed bungie wouldn;t do it.

Just...wow. I hope your joking.


I'm not an employee so I'm not speaking on behalf of them. I was merely relaying that it was confirmed legit based on Halcylon's post. I was unaware they had already sold out. My apologies on that front. It wasn't meant to come off as rude but rather a legitimate "best wishes."

I'm unsure why they changed the seller, but I have to assume it was with the best of intentions.


Best intentions? A simple tweet saying "Trust the Gorilla" or somthing of that nature would have been under the best intentions. That's all it would have taken. Again, Fans are loyal to Bungie, but Bungie isn't loyal to fans.

This is retarded logic.

Yes, I got one too, but you should not be forced to buy something from an untrusted source. Bungie handled this beyond retardedly. After Reach, I thought they were almost completely incompetent, but after seeing this, I have been assured.

I would guess that's what they're doing, it wouldn't be fair to rob from one and give to another. But people should have looked at the details before jumping right in and buying.

Well seeing as how this worked out so well any news as to wether there'll be a third round, preferably ON the Bungie Store or ON the Amazon page, or if sellers are switched because people over refreshed that they'd be kind enough to FYI us?

  • 06.30.2011 12:27 PM PDT

Somehow manged to get one now...my day at least has been salvaged
