Subject: I had a revelation... about the future of groups and the Bungie APP...

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

After using the Bungie app for a while and getting PMs, I thought this was cool. I then thought of community Carnage and FCAW, and joining games, then it hit me. Make the Bungie APP and intergrate with with groups and vice versa.

The group admin will get a new tab called "mobile" and will be able to actually send Text messages to all users or specific users as long as they linked up with the Bungie app.

This will help groups to remind users that a game is starting in a few hours or a notice.

The admin can also customize the group page in mobile mode and post stories and walpapers. all downloadable via the app.

The users of the app will have a new tab called groups and they can view all 25 of their groups and their pages. They can also (through the app), view all group requests AND can cancel them. Likewise they can block all messages from being sent to you from a certain group.

What do you think?

(IDK if this can be discussed on the regular forum or the pinned thread)

I'd rather the people in my groups not know my number. Perhaps a "Message Group Members" button should be added though.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I agree, I'm fine with an option to message group members though.

I'd prefer this over a "text message" option as it doesn't seem as invasive.

My system, phone numbers will be censored and like a PM, all you see is their name. There will be a send all message via Bungie app to all group members.

Although I agree with you Duardo, that should have been implemented into the site years ago.

Phone numbers would be censored? From who, you? Other group members? Would the group creator see them? That's not how a text message works. Unless each number was private, someone would still see the numbers, and that's one too many.

Mass Text Messages -> Users = lolwut? No. Bad idea.

I was hoping it would function like PMs but I see a PM all button might be better but still achieve the same result.

Who the hell do you think I am?

I'd rather just have on bnet, a system where say, the admin of a group can send a message to every member, sort of like this.

I may have said the exact same thing that the OP was talking about, but it seems like he said something about text messaging, and phone numbers, so I don't know...

I like this idea better as well.

I like this idea, but let's get to the cancel join group option first ;)

Why not use the normal message center but you need wifi to send messages.

Sending Bungie.net messages is much better than text messages for four reasons:

1) The aforementioned issue with privacy. People don't want to hand out their phone numbers.

2) Universality. Everyone in a private group can receive a B.net message. Anyone who uses a mobile device without cell phone service (iTouch, iPad etc) can't recieve text messages.

3) Cost. Somebody has to pay for all of those texts (not everybody has unlimited, and the group leader would end up sending a lot in a decent sized group).

4) Optional. You can turn off notifications from the app. You can't turn off text messages (as easily). Not everybody in a group wants the admin to be able to send them messages whenever they please.

If the idea was modified to sending Bungie.net messages then I would be all for it.

Instead of a text message, just send a push notification to the app.

Love playing custom games?

Well come join Customs Evolved

We are group dedicated to playing custom games, map testing, game nights, etc. Anyone is welcomed to join, and we hope to have as much fun as possible!

I prefer emails. Remember, your B.net account is linked up to our WLID, so the notifications should appear in email, not text-messaging.

Not everyone has a phone, but everyone in the group has an email. Hence this site.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

Maybe make the groups involved with a... BUNGIE MMO! on the app

It would send it to your account, but show up as a Push-Notification or whatever they're called. The only new features would be the notifications and a Message All Members button. I actually like the idea, Ken.
