Dead Orbit Is Best Orbit

I remember back when DeeJ first started those Ride Alongs. They were intresting to read, and ended up killing some time for me. And then one day, DeeJ stopped writing about them. So does anyone knows why they disappeard?

Here's my twitter, in the off-chance you want that too.

Bye.

Groups come to DeeJ for ride alongs. If no group asks, nothing happens.

I would say he's letting the Community Carnage take over for the time being. He also has enough on his plate with the Mail Sacks, and all the gearing up for when they break the darkness.

Also Bungie.next too.

We are no longer worthy, methinks.

In all srsness, there just hasn't been a group out there that has challenged DeeJ in a while. He's always up to it.

Spread the love...

I believe they're still happening, but he just stopped making news articles about them. I could be wrong.

Remember that one time you messaged me asking if we were doing a Ride Along? That was a joke, we were just playing some matchmaking ;)

I just believe there hasn't been a Ride Along in a while.

There have been Ride Alongs after the most recent write-up. But DeeJ stopped doing the write-ups a while back for some reason. I guess the "official" Ride Along write-ups are being put on hold for now.

-Design an evening of gameplay.
-Invite us along for the ride.

If you don't tell/come to DeeJ it won't be a ride along, it's just a private group event.

But then again, I've never been to a Ride Along so maybe that's not the system that's used.

Ok, we need a group to go and invite DeeJ.

That used to be the system, yes. I went to him with a request for one but haven't heard back for weeks.

Not that I'm really complaining, I realize that the lack of active groups makes things difficult on that front.

Whoo.

Although in some scenarios a ride along has been made independent of the community, customarily ride alongs were dependant on pre-organised game nights made by the community, lack of activity within groups has made a decline in ride alongs.

Maybe simply the complaint of lacking will sprout a new one, who knows.

Yeah, this is the case, Hoobla. A group I'm part of took place in one and didn't make it to the front page, and I'm sure plenty of other groups have shared the same experience.

But, playing with Bungie employees is a rewarding enough experience in itself!

Unless it's Halcylon.


Not really worth it.

I'm sure if the basic set-up for Ride Alongs had changed, he would update the guidelines for application. Just because he didn't do one with your group doesn't mean that's not how it works; he has said already that he's still doing them, and just not doing news articles on them.

It's not just one of my groups, homie. I've heard the same from others.

Look, I'm not being critical of DeeJ at all, I like the guy. Ride-Alongs have to end at some point, after all.
