By Daz Go To PostAnyone had a go with Bastion?its a pre-fire AA-12 from modern warfare
like.... its aite. but the range isn't that great and honestly I'd much rather people either die immediately or have the effect from the shot be so powerful that it causes people to go stupid. it doesn't handle at some obscene level to make up for it either
i don't know why you'd use it over lord of wolves outside of needing an inferior version in the kinetic slot
Destiny PvP is actually a deck building game.
You can do a lot with an average deck. But at the end of the day, proper meta play is all that matters.

Most of the stuff he mentioned is a byproduct of Bungie neglecting PVP. I could get more specific but it's just the same shit. The playerbase cannibalizing itself is just a symptom of Bungie doing fuck all for PVP. Can't expect anything out of an entirely ignored part of the game.
By Daz Go To PostApparently, TV used to be a pastor.doesnt it tho
It shows.
I just don't get his argument. Why would people nerf themselves for a "challenge"? Does he?

He's not wrong though, for as much shit as we give BUngie, the players predisposition to cheese and general path of least resistance has landed us here.
By Daz Go To PostHe's not wrong though, for as much shit as we give BUngie, the players predisposition to cheese and general path of least resistance has landed us here.why would you handicap yourself to "play the right way"
he'd have a point if this was a game without shit like mountaintop. bungie forces this type of thing
By DY_nasty Go To Postwhy would you handicap yourself to "play the right way"His point wasnt that people shouldnt use meta weapons, its the stacks things mostly.

By Daz Go To PostHe's not wrong though, for as much shit as we give BUngie, the players predisposition to cheese and general path of least resistance has landed us here.I mean, that's humans, in general. It's Bungie's fault for not designing or implementing a system to combat it. Instead, they incentivize it with some of these quests.
Stacks is another thing bungie can deal with and even has done on comp side. Solo queueing being put in Survival.
Everything you could possibly talk about in regards to PVP sucking ass is completely on bungie.
Op gear just reigning supreme like OEM = BUNGIE not giving a fuck for several months
Striker Titan and some other supers being OP bullshit = Bungie not giving a fuck for a year
Latency = Bungie not giving a fuck after the change over to steam
Killing blows quest steps that ensures players aren't even doing objectives = Bungie not giving a fuck how their requirements alter player behavior in PVP (hell even Strikes)
Shit like mountaintop existing at all = Bungie not giving a fuck period
Cheating you could argue isn't on Bungie so much but they haven't even addressed it as an issue they're looking into. They don't really give a shit about PVP and it shows. It's not complicated.

I don't get the skill based matchmaking thing. Like, forcing scrubs to have to battle it out with better players is an artificial fix that will drive casual players out of the crucible.
The sandbox from a weapon archetype standpoint barely needs changing. 110's need a huge range buff, maybe more range for 140's. Can't think of much else. The issue is a ton of stuff needs to be nerfed. We probably need a huge nerf to special ammo in general as well.

the issue with zero sbmm is stomps
the issue with sbmm is they can't wait too long to make a perfect match so they expand the skill range outwards as time goes on (they also did this in Halo)
it's technically possible to always get people at exact your skill, but the issue is it'd take 10 minutes to gather for each match.
what they definitely need to do though is not restart the invisible skill number constantly

Depending on what time I get on my queue times can be pretty atrocious. Also had the so called "cbmm" playlist lag like fuck.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI don't get the skill based matchmaking thing.

Fuck Jottun for real.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostI don't get the skill based matchmaking thing. Like, forcing scrubs to have to battle it out with better players is an artificial fix that will drive casual players out of the crucible.I think loosing up the SBMM algorithm will help. There will be more games where you aren't the weakest link in addition to games where there is that one guy on the other team that is unstoppable. Basically, it would result in games where a single mistake or two won't wreck your team's chances of winning. It is more fun than consistently sweaty games where you get angry anytime anyone screws up because that is the difference between winning/losing pretty often.

Fuck Jottun for real.
What TV skips over when talking about players is how so many abilities either lead directly to snowballing or support team play. If it was small stuff like standing in a teammate's rift, whatever. But this is a game that gives anyone who touches that rift their own personal automated turret. Even in call of duty your kill streaks don't turn into orbs for your other teammates so they can short cut to their kill streaks too just by design. I'll play a match of all jotuns before I ever entertain one team with two guys rocking sanguine. Jotun at least requires a competent preshot. Just bait people enough and they'll give it up. Sanguine gives out shared wall hacks and damage buffs at the same time 😂 there's no counter play for that.
Then there's other stuff where you legit aren't even told what you were hit by. Like it wasn't 'just' a headshot, it was a Titan sliding with high impact reserves that two tapped you with a pulse. Oh. Git gud btw.
I'm not mad at players for doing what they need to do to win. Its bungies fault for putting stuff in the game that is designed to pubstomp and steamroll across the board.
also they definitely would benefit from forcing the MM to match teams vs teams and randos vs randos
or try freelance IB lol

Freelance survival worked up until around 4500 glory.
And then the sweat lords slap you back where you belong.

Comp is easier than quickplay. At least in comp you know what's in front of you. Quickplay hits you from all sides with the nonsense.
One thing neither Aze or TV mention is just how much quests fuck the idea of skill based matchmaking in general. Like, sure, open the curtain and maybe everyone in the match is more or less around the same tier of player, but how many people even have winning as a primary option on your team?
Like in playing Iron banner I was forced to use a hand cannon when I'd rather have been using Randy's. Some other guy on my team needs shotgun kills and we're on a long range map. Shit like that. You can be crying in the car because you got stomped, and a teammate is doing a spin emote because he got his last rocket kill and got a 60 stat cape for finishing the quest.

also want to mention that having standards is generally not a thing, but fuck sake, can we all agree that lord of wolves and mountaintop is some cheese shit
aint no honor n that shit and i feel dirty using either

I mentioned your last paragraph earlier
Basically Bungie's decisions to make Crucible a place where you just do everything but the actual objective is stupid. There are still people doing Lunas stuff in comp too, when you're trying to advance.
I've just always hated comp since I gotta fight people above 3500 out the gate instead of it actually just throwing together people at the same rank and people climbing at different rates. But for some reason they have a gun at 5000 knowing full well a real ranking system would and should mean some people should never obtain it. Do I agree with that? No. But if it was an actual ladder/rank system that's how it would work. f you're pretty good you're destined for a more adverse climb than if you weren't right from the start.
It's a game with no placement matches, no dedis, no semblance of balance yet strict as hell SBMM should exist because?

There's straight up hackers in the game too. Came across the type that teleports to people on spawn and basically shotguns you to death.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posti need a killcam too
i been getting hit with some sus shots these days
Other thing that doesn't get talked about but is relatively obvious if you play the game long enough is they force a 50/50 w/l ratio. So if you're winning for a while you're bound to have the game literally force a couple Ls your way. It will even join you in progress to one. Enough people bitched about this and it won't kill your xp streak anymore but it's pretty fuckin lol.

If you're doing well, the ads start getting tanky and the fucking slap. Got ohk bit a fucking thrall. Destiny is rotten with that kind of thing.
Bungie is so desperate to please everyone that they only end up pleasing those that play professionally
The other thing about SBMM is the better you get the more and more you see cheating fucks. It's punitive as hell.
