Subject: B.net after the launch of Destiny

What do you think B.net will be like after the launch of Destiny; or perhaps the days leading up to Destiny's launch? How much do you think the site and community will change?

Lurking these forums, rest assured that I'm silently judging you.

At least until Destiny.

Users will be seen frolicking in the forums, giddy with the excitement of Destiny.
There will be only joy.

As for post-launch, users will be upturning threads out of anger and frustration at the fact that Destiny didn't live up to their ridiculously high expectations.

That's the Flood, not the Bungie Community.

OT: We'll see a lot of new people who love Destiny as a game on its own, not comparing to Bungie's previous games, so I'll be glad to see new members make this site more colourful.

Pretty sums up what after every game release I've been here for.

There will be obviously a huge influx of new members and/or old members returning after many years away from Bnet, which is all good in my opinion. The more the merrier, and plus, we'll probably gain a few members who will become huge community rocks as well.

Long live the Seventh Column... Bungie's Underground Army will only continue to grow. :)

I don't think the new generation will start swinging around until a few months after release. I'm part of the Halo generation and that's sort of what happened with me. It'll be a gradual thing.

This, of course, is a semi-educated guess. Take it with a grain of salt.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

First they will be happy, and later angry. And then the bans will come... After that, people will pointlessly pick sides on a fight that doesn't even matter. I have foreseen it.

A cornered fox is more dangerous than a jackal.

And from FOX, two phantoms were born.

I see...

A great war.

Blood will be spilled, sides will be chosen.

Brothers will be made, enemies will be lost.

I have seen it..

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

It is going to be interesting

We should know better, because we are better.

There will be a surge in activity and new members. Then, there will be complaints that Destiny does not live up to expectations. Expect posts along the lines of 'Destiny sucks, Halo [whatever] was better!' Activity will drop, and we will see some new regular members.

I really hope Destiny is better than Halo, since 343i took over Halo with Halo 4 it has not gotten better at all.

This is what we need in bungie.next, a Pre-report button.

Fiction has to be plausible. Reality is under no such constraint

it will be interesting alright.

i do hope bungie.net keeps some reminder of halo after all it is their lovechild with microsoft funds but i look forward to destiny

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

I have yet to really be a part of a community that's waiting in eager excitement for a new IP.

I've been here/there for Halos, but Halo is different. It has this fan base that can never be satisfied, please someone, there will always be someone upset because you're messing with their Halo.

With Destiny, you can't mess with someone's "Destiny" because it's not theirs yet. I'm not sure if it will all be cherries and rainbows leading up to the launch or if it will be like the Halos, where there's always someone upset with some news they hear about Destiny.

Wouldn't surprise me. Since the majority of Bungie fans are fans because of Halo, and therefore they are Halo fans. Naturally they will probably desire something like Halo, and be upset if there is something in Destiny that they wouldn't like in Halo.

So you'll probably get a majority that is happy, a vocal group of people who downright hate Destiny because it's not Halo, and some people who will discuss game mechanics in a proper manner, maybe with skepticism, but not outright hate.

'Tis a tricky thing this community is.

Forum activity is going to skyrocket. In the days preceding and proceeding Destiny, there will be a massive influx of new users. The Universe forum will be filled with new discussion topics, and will once again become a hub of activity. I think the community will have an extremely positive atmosphere when Destiny is launched.

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

Why do I get the feeling that this "surge" of new members will be anti-climatic?
