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

Urk tweeted
"Whoa. Pretty sure you just unintentionally DDOS'd Amazon's servers F5ing for Swag Bags"
At 10, and recieved confirmation of that at ten.
Check Twitter, it says "about two hours ago" and its 12:30 right now

I managed to get one right now. Still waiting for my confirmation e-mail.

But still, it's a jerk move.

GUYS, i think they're freeing up stock from people who purchased >1 bags. My order just went thru and I've been constantly trying to re-checkout for the past 20 min.
SO KEEP TRYING


People ordered more than 1, low number will be coming back for awhile. Still have somewhat of a chance

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...

That's the number of bans in this thread. Next time you want to derail something, go stand in front of a train.

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?

Maybe, might be why they changed the other Bag O' Swag page to show 4 pounds.

Here's yet another link to a post by Halcylon, he's posted many times "It's legit <3"

  • 06.30.2011 12:30 PM PDT

Managed to get one directly from the Bungie Store listing.

Thank goodness, but I'm still pretty annoyed at how they handled this. :/

  • 06.30.2011 12:31 PM PDT

I got death star....death star.....

I love how everyone complains about ETA's.......It's A Blam! estimate DUH!

I'm sure your fine, it would say Cancelled Order, or something of the like. Mine says not yet shipped, and did so before I removed the second item after seeing about the 1 item limit. Looks like my friend shall have to miss out xD

In a time long past, the armies of the Dark came again into the lands of men. Their leaders were known as the Fallen Lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the West.

Holy blam! I accidentally hit reload on the page that claimed there was no stock for my order, without thinking, and was greeted by an order confirmation. Took me completely by surprise. Now I've justified following this all morning

Good luck everyone who doesn't have one yet. Thanks Bungie!

@spaboolly

All the people complaining about how Bungie "made them" waste their whole day F5ing on Amazon, calm down. They didn't make you do anything. They even announced the time they planned to put them up. It's ironic that you're complaining, since you were mostly the ones who caused the problems with Amazon to begin with.

I can understand being upset and being really excited about the opportunity to get something like this, but this is getting way out of hand. This wasn't Bungie's fault or Amazon's. I'm sure whatever they are doing about this is the best solution to a hard problem. Please give them a chance.

We don't know everything about what's going on here, so until we OFFICIALLY hear what happened and why, please try to reserve your judgment and hateful comments. Crashing the forum servers too isn't going to help anyone.

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.

  • 06.30.2011 12:32 PM PDT

If you can't trust yourself, then don't trust anyone.

The gorilla place is legit right? Because i just bought it from them.

They say that kiddie's got soul

InBonniesKitchen

Too be quite honest this really sucks for the reasons that I left 5 minutes from my computer to take my dog out to do her business and then find out about a store switch (which was not confirmed legit) from the forum and not from bungie themselves.

All in all it is a very dissapointing thing to be so eager and so attentive then have it snatched from you.

However, I continue to remain a fan of Bungie for years to come. Not getting a bag doesn't mean my life is over.

And since tomorrow I start my vacation fortunately for the rest of you, there is one less person trying to get one.

So good luck and do not bash them. If you are meant to have a bag then you will get one.
