DBO Forums - Email is top of the list https://destiny.bungie.org/forum/ Bungie.Org talks Destiny en Email is top of the list (reply) Email notifications are at the top of my to-do list.

And good thoughts re mobile. Not much I can do for the forum itself right now, but we should be able to get the FTB-specific pages looking okay.

Suggestion: Email updates on Changes (reply) Here are a few that I don't think I've seen mentioned yet. I thought I'd send them your way because I'm sure you are completely out of new ideas and suggestions to implement, and your free time is burning holes in your pocket :)

The three things I'd love to see sometime in the future:

A) Ability to pm/email participants
B) Automatic email updates (e.g. updates when a thread has a replay). At minimum I'd like to know:
C) Clean mobile interface

------------------------------------

Ability to pm/email participants

As an event creator, I'd like to be able to quickly contact those that have signed up via an active means, instead of a passive means such as creating a thread in hopes that they see it, or updating the description and hope that they catch it.

Either via a PM system (which I don't think *BO has?), or perhaps via email. Might require a participant to check a box stating they don't mind the creator emailing them. Maybe it could be anonymous emailing?

------------------------------------

Automatic email updates

I'd love to be informed via email of the following actions in each situation:

As an event creator:
1. When my team is maxed
Bonus:
2. When someone joins
3. When someone leaves


As an event participant:
1. If the event changes time
2. If the event changes description
Bonus:
3. Reminders for events coming up (there are substitute mechanisms for this though)
4. When my team is maxed

Those items above the "Bonus" lines I consider to be information that would likely cause me to take action, or get me to come to the forum to post. Those things under the bonus would just be "nice to haves", but wouldn't impact how I interact with the system.

Use Cases:
I spent a lot of yesterday as an event creator refreshing the page simply to see if anyone else had signed up.

Use Case:
A few guys on the forum this morning were wondering if an event they were signed up for had been canceled. It'd suck even more if they hopped online at the last minute only to realize the even was canceled the day before, or the time had been bumped up an hour.

Of course, have it all be customizable such that I can pick and choose only those things I'd like to be informed of :)

------------------------------------

Clean mobile interface

I probably don't need to say this, but having a slicker mobile interface would be helpful. As is I have to do a lot of zooming and scrolling to read the info on my phone, and I have to do it all again when I refresh the page.

User Error? (reply)

AH, yes, I see what you mean. Also I see two very similar posts from him which both say "late night", but are 12 hours apart. :P


Yeah, he appears to be double-booked. CruelLEGACEY, can you fix those?

CruelLegacey always starts playing around 12:30am EST. When he posted the first one for Friday night, 12:30 EST, that technically is Saturday morning, but Friday night at 11:30pm for me. I noticed the fireteam builder specifically said 12:30am EST, 11:30am (Central/Midwest) - which led me to believe that the tool itself was erroneously thinking that one hour before 12:30am was actually 11:30am (instead of pm).

Yeah… (reply) That's definitely something on the to-do-soon list. :)

Platform filter (reply) I love that this is getting so much use! I plan on using it more myself.

I see that the length of the list is starting to get long (and hopefully even longer, yeah?). While I do have a level 7 (?) character on the xbox platforms I don't really play there unless PSN is down (all last week). A checkbox to just show me upcoming events based on platform (ps4, 350, xb1, ps3) could be helpful. (does anyone here even play on ps3?)

Gotcha (reply) I was out of town when it dropped originally, and I need to go back and read through it. Thanks for dropping fat knowledge on plebes like me.

It's tied to your forum time zone (reply)

I didn't have a chance to check last night...is the time always EST? Or does it conform to your location?
If I want to start an event at 6pm PST, for instance, and I'm in Oregon, do I say 9pm or 6pm?

As mentioned in the stickied post, all times in the Fireteam Builder are tied to your Forum time zone, which is set on your profile page. You should definitely change your forum time zone to match your locale!

In addition, when you create an event, it says (right next to the date/time entry) what time zone is expected:

User Error? (reply)

I see a "Late Night Raid" listed for 9:30AM, when the description text (builder-typed) says 12:30AM EST.... It appears the math is right, but the AM/PM logic isn't following. No biggie, just something I noticed.

AWESOME tool BTW! Can't wait to make use of it myself (non-consistent playing schedule is prohibitive), but it is certainly helpful to see if there's anyone available. :D


I noticed that, too. I think CruelLEGACEY selected the AM instead of PM option when he made the event. I updated the event to reflect his description.

Oooooooooh! (reply) So just drop some brackets in there! Aight, I don't think you need to do anything else with it, it's perfect.

Links in the description field? (reply) The description field takes the same formatting as forum posts, so you can use links and YouTube embed tags…

DBO Fireteam Builder Feedback Thread (reply) I don't know if it already does this, but email notification whenever someone RSVPs would be nice. Or at least a checkbox to request email notification like when we post on the forums?

Another suggestion: Day of the week (reply) If nothing else, simply putting a linebreak before the date would make the format a bit cleaner.

Yup (reply)

Any chance we can simply save the information for our characters in our profile somewhere? Then we could simply select the appropriate character from anywhere.

I looked into that, but it's a bit more complicated than it sounds. ;-) Considering something like that for the future, though.
