Bungie's Destiny

I really liked d1 pvp and thought it couldve had a decent competitive scene

But the high ttk, the slow abilities that don't even have death timer resets, full HUD nerfs after blink abilities...they purposely really, reaaalllllllyyyyy slowed the game down for some reason. Supers are cool but now it's just "who can use supers once per match the...fastest?"

im still playing a blink voidwalker, but literally everything that was fun about it in d1 is gone. Hell, it now takes THREE MELEES TO KILL SOMEONE

 

Yeah man... the melee pisses me off to no end. It just becomes a fucking boxing match lol. It seems to me that you actually had to have skill to play PvP in D1. And you're right, they've slowed down the gameplay a lot in D2 to where it's boring to watch and play (to me).

I remember committing myself to learning to be a proficient sniper in D1. My K/D suffered for a bit while I honed my skill but once I got good at sniping I got really good. Now that snipers have been relegated to the power weapon slot, no one snipes anymore. I see no reason to either "if" I'm lucky enough to pick up the heavy. I just do what 90% of the other people do and use a RL that requires no skill to use which sucks because I miss sniping. Then add to the fact that everything is 4v4 and you can't pick your game modes anymore and it's just no fun to me. I really wish they would have left PvP alone because it used to be a lot of fun. It wasn't perfect by any means. No PvP game is. But it was enjoyable to play.

The good ole days

 

there was a dude on reddit that said he'd shave his head and glue the hair to his face as a beard if xur sold the lens today

bungie saw it and had xur sell it, and called him out on twitter


get it before they nerf nuke it on tuesday. lol

 

Im not even sure i can even play trials this weekend since its a dlc map. Can I even buy that lens from xur?

 

I stopped playing pvp, only playing seasons since I have the pass. Sucks. Design art is beautiful, story is same ol bungie but maybe a smidge better, pvp is just awful. The movement and ttk has to improve otherwise their "ranked is at the top of our list" is pointless. I mean shit, just give us mayhem or rumble that'll make us happy for a while! Assholes.

 

I agree. D1 PvP was a lot better IMO. I played one game yesterday just to play around with the Prometheus Lens. But other than that I haven't played PvP in at least two months. It's just boring and turns into people camping. I hate the ttk now also. The 4v4 format was a mistake in my opinion and not being able to choose which game mode you'd like to play makes no sense to me whatsoever.

We did the new Raid Lair tonight and I've got to say that it's fun. I won't complain about the raid or the mechanics of the raid at all. I will complain about the drops but other than that, it's a lot of fun.

 

The raid lair was amazing as expected, tokens still just suck for raids in general. 4v4 has nothing to do with how terrible pvp is, neither is balance. It's simply ttk, movement speed, and playlists. If they can improve that they have a pretty good game all around.

Token system is a disappointing move, as well as the nerf to ttk, movement, and playlists. They'e got to improve it, have to for it to survive. They can' cone out with pve content enough to keep the game alive especially with no incentive like raid perks or pvp perks to chase

 

Where did this obsession with kill trackers come from ? Was anybody asking for this ? Seems like a trivial thing to spend time and money on with no real benefits.

 

Supposed to be another blog to discuss things soon. Maybe Bungo realized they fucked anyone who didnt buy DLC.

 

Im gonna hold on pubg

 

So far I'm enjoying the new DLC. I'm curious as to what tomorrow will bring but at least they are going in the right direction. I've not been disappointed with this DLC and tomorrow looks to be even better. Still holding my expectations low but it looks promising.

 

Being sick increases gaming time, so yesterday I caught up with a bunch of stuff on my main and finally started a second character. Enjoying going through the story again. It does progress well, it just kind of fell apart a bit once you finish the story. Hopefully the changes will improve things, although the new weapon stuff they are talking about seems to make things more confusing. We'll see . . .

 

My daughter and I have a cold right now, now that you bring it up. The story the first time was pretty cool but the second and third time I just pressed skip each time I could. IMO they put way too much emphasis on "hey... we have a story this time" but in the end we kill the boss. So what?

I am looking forward to this afternoon with the new weapon system and we'll see what that brings. I really like Mercury and have forged all the weapons. My favorite is the scout rifle. The others are throw away but I'm a collectionist so I have to have everything. I'm looking forward to forging the auto rifle next wee and I don't even like auto rifles.

Lol... Heroic adventures... I did all the adventures and they were fun and easy. Started up a heroic and got one shotted and was like "WTF????". Heroics are no joke. Don't worry about making the timer. It doesn't give you much "if any" more.

 

I finished them all solo but it was a bitch. Even got the the boss down before the timer went down but it was a challenge.

 

Text me when you get on today. I need to do the night fall and I'll run raids if you want.

 

What are these forged weapons? I've finished the osiris campaign and the new mid level strikes. Still haven't done the nightfall strike though.

 

We're running the Prestige raid tonight so we'll be in there most of the night. So I doubt I'll be on for anything other than that.

Forged weapons are once you finish everything on Mercury. Go see Vance and he will give you a quest to gather materials to forge a weapon. Gather those resources and bring them back to him. He will give you a box that you carry to the forge (where Vance is) and you create a weapon.

The first one you get is Verse 1



After that I quit paying attention





You can craft 4 per week. I crafted the hand cannon but it sucked so I infused it. Once you craft all eight you get to craft the shotgun. The Scout Rifle is the first you will craft and although it is a slower rate of fire it hits like a fucking truck.

 

Awesome, thanks! Would've completely missed that...
I'll have to try to grab that scout rifle tonight, don't really like anything other than auto/scout/hand cannon.
