he brought up two good points
1) when the devs said "its the most balanced its ever been" - he was spot on for asking if its balanced for 1 v 1 or for teams. because 1 v 1 i can see (IF you drop all of the considerations regarding weapons/perks/etc and just go baseline stats and class builds). teams? absolutely not. weapon rolls? antiope d, uriels are damn near mandatory. the devs scope is fucked.
2) the halo / destiny 2 thing - time to kill and time to live was a great breakdown. regarding the "turn around and kill scrubs thing".... breh
grenades in halo used to WORK a team. butthugging was never a thing because everyone from the scrubbiest scrub to the most godlike gawds knew that one good frag is wiping your whole team free. it kept you off corners, it kept you vertical, it kept range fluid. by removing the strength, frequency, and versatility of grenades you create this deathball shit

By DY_nasty Go To Posthe brought up two good pointsmy biggest annoyance at the moment is i can work through most of that even now what I can't do is win a control game or deal with heavy up every fuckin' minute and a coordinated bunch of teams just hitting on the heavy spawns for OHK weaps

I also forgot to mention i love how destiny 2 will just put you in a game where one of the teams is basically has a 70% chance or greater to win. Just roll some fuckin' weighted dice then and save me the trouble.
yeah i'm not a ffa type person but i definitely can't be bothered with rumble if it's just lots of heavies, slow ttk and useless nades with abilities on long cooldowns
destiny pvp has never been good lol
pvp streams weren't even a thing until trials launched
it's a fun little sideshow, it's never going to be something worth taking seriously

which makes it even more baffling when they have tourneys or compare it to halo
also love how they killed competitive too

Now PVE has really hit the skids on PC. My team mates keep dying on every trash mob in Heroics then quit when I don't resurrect them right away.

So Nightstalker got a rip off of arcblade and Gunslinger gets a better Shadowshot.
hmmm...

"More awesome" is great. There's some legitimately really interesting stuff there. My biggest question is--how do they intend to balance what is a clear embrace of doubling down, or tripling down on the power fantasy? Warmind gave hunters the ability to reroll health with a simple dodge. Forsaken is that on steroids with some interesting new teamwork supers/abilities. It all amounts to Guardians being significantly more powerful.
I mean, there's a subtree where Titans get to throw a hammer as a melee ability. You pick it up and start regenerating health AND instantly get the ability to throw it again lol. And we haven't even begun talking about exotics to enhance these new subtrees.
I really hope Crucible has a patch so that a game doesn't start without both teams being full. Of all the "no shit" things, you'd think starting games with the proper amount of players would have been at the top of the list, especially for a gametype like control.
PVP 6v6 now, supremacy is on its own, but matchmaking still hilariously bad so far. You can't just average out a bunch of players and call it a day. The best person can't outkill the lowest ranked person dying over and over nor the spawn camping that can happen when a team is just not up to snuff.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postbruh you play the game too much not to have a squad by nowlol
Fuck squads. I'm just trying to get my Milestone this week. Haven't played in days. It's just that shit right out the gate.
Anyway I got it but I'm curious how long this losing streak can go on despite how I well I do.

I won't lie; I tried booting up the game on my PC because I just wanted to run through some content out of boredom. But I can't even do that because apparently this is the game my network doesn't play well with. Cabbage and Lettuce errors everywhere.
Well I won one if you can call it that. Game ended my losing streak by basically having me play a team full of bronzes. Had an afker on my side but I managed to outpace him dying I guess. Just barely. Woooo.
By DY_nasty Go To Postall these grind heavy prestige raid catalysts? foh
im out lol.
"make this game your life" feels like the direction they are double and tripling down on lately
i aint twelve years old FOH
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostI bet a hand full of sociopaths are seeing those catalysts requirements and licking their lipsbungie is building destiny for essentially a handful of sociopaths

what's the more hardcore timesink? Destiny 2 (current patch) or Diablo 3?
By Dark PhaZe Go To Postwhat's the more hardcore timesink? Destiny 2 (current patch) or Diablo 3?Probably Destiny 2 if just for how infrequent you get upgrades in that game. Diablo 3 throws one-step-below-top-tier gear at you at the beginning of each season and it ain't very hard to get, especially if there is someone to power level you.
You get new shit quickly enough in Diablo 3 that playing HC and losing your best equipped character ain't that big a deal as you likely have nearly equivalent stuff sitting in your vault and can refill it with new great shit in weekend or less, depending on your farm speed.
e: i guess if you are chasing "perfect", Diablo 3 loot grind takes longer, but that is a just plain miserable way to play for a very minimal gain in character power; it is not very time consuming to get "good enough"
By DY_nasty Go To Posthow's the new dlc for diablo kib? i never even got around to checking it outThe Necromancer is pretty baller. He has a few summon builds, some direct damage builds, and also a couple CC builds, iirc.
Or did you mean the Reaper of Souls DLC? Because that was a huge game changer with Adventure mode, Bounties, and Rifts. Act 5 was cool, but bosses had/have too much health compared to Acts 1-4.
e: there is also a Battle Chest available for D3. $20 gets you the base game and the Reaper of Souls DLC. The only thing missing is the Necromancer, iirc. And he is another $10.
ill probably fuck with it--pc or ps4?
im not gonna lie...getting a destiny 2 itch, particularly for forsaken, but the timesink shit they've got going on really scares me

By Dark PhaZe Go To Postill probably fuck with it–pc or ps4?I have it on PC. I wouldn't be completely opposed to picking it up on console, as those versions have a dodge button that make them play differently than PC.

6V6 quickplay is as close to the D1 feeling as I remember - I actually look forward to playing crucible now
Bring back strike scoring and old classic maps and boy, we've got a stew going

Marked improvement.
Far more opportunities for heroic plays and youtube clippings.
Taking out an entire team at 6v6 is far more satisfying than 4v4
Not jumping on to PC till we have cross save. Not starting from the beginning again

yea the lack of cross save is trash
By Bold 2 in One Go To PostMarked improvement.I get kills but wins are elusive because the PC pop is so dead. The other night I got joined in progress to some losing shit that was 64 - 6. After a while it just gets old. I've also never really played a game where I can go 2 - 7 kd consistently and still lose this much, it's insane.

Also have games that start off 4 instead of a full 6. Really annoying.
He was able to do that because the spawns on Dead Cliffs especially for control allow you to just sit on a team and keep them there. Awful fucking map for 6v6 and spawning.
Metldown has been getting on my nerves for similar reasons.

not only is it the same weapon from D1, but they couldn't drop this kind of event in the 6 months where there was literally nothing happening?
i solo'd the first mission lmao. this is the only time i'm actually put off by the whole "you lost everything" in D2.

Something that would just generally be nice would be rewards for being a top player in anything. PVE. Pubs. PVP. As of right now the game just doesn't give a fuck so people half-ass stuff or AFK. Real swell incentives. Just let someone else carry the load who cares.
lmao this poor dude I played against earlier, top 500/1000 in all the different things, 50x flawless trials, gets 50 kills in supremacy and still loses. Speaks volumes.
that bow is stupid lol
i guess bungie finally realized pvp balance had to be sacrificed for the greater good, it was never shit anyway
