Subject: If the Bags Should Ever be Released Again...

Yes, there're too many numbers in my name.

I think Bungie shouldn't give a specific time for their arrival of re-stocking.

There'll be less commotion if there wasn't a specific time of the bags release. Hundreds of people F5-ing at the exact same time isn't good for the website. Spanning those F5's over the course of the day is fair and leads a smaller chance that the item will not be delayed.

Oh, and for those of you sick of seeing the Bag threads, sorry you had to see this again. I just wanted the community to impose this alternative style of releasing the Bags in their hypothetical situation if the bags would ever become restocked.

A general time would be best. With just a day, you'd just get people saying they F5ed all day and didn't get one, and that it is all Bungie's fault.

Okay, I can agree with you on that. How's about a 4-hour time-span. From this time to this time, the bags will be released. That should at least prevent people from being exposed to sleep-deprivation.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

To be honest, I think I'd rather have the amazing gift of nothing over something with a large interest coupled with extremely limited quantity.

I was thinking just like a general time of day, like "the next wave of bags will be released around noon", or "bags set to be released late afternoon".

You get the idea. They should do it on the forums too, not Twitter.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

They should say "Expect them BETWEEN 10am and Noon" or something.

Last wave of bags, they said "ETA of 10am". You know what happened after that.

Giving an exact time, or even a range is bad, because people are just going to F5 the entire time.

Heck people are going to F5 even if you just give them a timeframe of "sometime next Tuesday". Better to be as general as possible and not have the interwebz crash again. Nobody wants to repeat the Great Swag Debacle of 2011.

the F5 thing didn't cause the problems.

I know it was ultimately Amazon's own issues that caused everything to implode on itself, but I thought it had something to do with why the Bags "of" Swag were put up in the first place.

Regardless, for practicality I don't think another F5 war would be the best thing, but that's just my opinion.
