BlindSite posted:Thanks for telling me how my match making works when I have literally days in pvp... Yeah dude I'm not trying to poo poo on you for your obviously frustrating experience lately, especially since you do give out a lot of good advice here, just thinking that maybe the opposite of what you guys think is happening is actually happening. Could be that with a larger worldwide pool to choose from that's why your getting better games during peak western times. Can't really test that theory without router logs or whatever though!

Yeah i was being a bit of a cranky little bitch. My apologies. I think it might be the emphasis on speeding up the match making. Makes the skill level grabbing tighter and connections worse. Something like the lobby has 3 or four people in one bracket so it grabs the next available 8 regardless of their connection gating. At slow times the skill spread is going to be larger so the average elo/game score/ combat rating or whatever of the lobby is probably lower overall and so it has a larger pool within its forumla to pull people resulting in better connections.

Banner log, day 2: Every game is hard. And for what? Still Haven't gotten a weapon drop. I grow hoarse yelling at my television. The fish tank bubbles next to me. I look at the fish, they stare back. The filter gurgles and percolates the water in such a way that it starts to sound like it's saying "gitgudgitgudgitgud". My boobs sweat but it's 70 degrees.

Your Dead Gay Son posted:Private matches are cool but where the gently caress is the theater mode that halo 3 had (and smash bros has....) It's just game data so it's really compact and there is no excuse to not have it Hopefully we will see this in Destiny 2, if they didn't announce it for this expansion then I seriously doubt we will see it anytime soon. But I agree, this is the one feature I would like to see as much as if not more than custom matches. I've had three bizarre environmental deaths in the past couple days alone where the first thought that crossed my mind was, "I wish I could go back and watch that from literally any other angle than my own perspective." \/ \/ But they had all that stuff on 360.

And if I remember right Halo 3 was a major engine rewrite. Destiny is a fork of Halo 2, and is also a major rewrite of that code base. But Destiny obviously went in a different direction.

Primary weapons are so loving poo poo right now. There is nothing that has a TTK good enough to reliably kill a shotgun rusher or take on a sniper. Special weapons really are a pile of loving poo poo. PvP is just a case of stacking poo poo that can one shot kill. Sticky nades. Shoulder charge. Etc. Because primary weapons are so loving bad. Well. That my rant.

hitchensgoespop posted:Bring back Thorn At least during that OP TLW/Thorn era people actually used primary weapons. Still plenty of people shotgunning and sniping back then. But at least you had primaries that could contend. To much special ammo is the biggest issue. But then you have UR and NLB to deal with. Welp.

CheeseFactory posted:Primary weapons are so loving poo poo right now. There is nothing that has a TTK good enough to reliably kill a shotgun rusher or take on a sniper. They took the tried and true gun/grenade/melee formula of Halo and ruined it by giving everyone constant access to one hit kill power weapons and stickies. Power weapons are supposed to be special; something you earn through coordination and map control. If you have them all the time they cease being special and become the new base line. If you can always one hit kill than one hit kills are the minimum acceptable performance for a weapon and anything else is irrelevant. This is why you basically never see sidearms. You shouldn't be able to kill a shotgun rusher or beat a sniper with a primary (if the guy is any good), but you also shouldn't have to constantly face snipers and shotguns. The problem is and always has been the constant availability of the power weapons.

But then he turned invincible and we started a silly rear end sissy fight in which neither of us were dying and he just wouldn't go down at all. By the end I was laughing at all the complete nonsense that whole match was for me!

sunday at work posted:They took the tried and true gun/grenade/melee formula of Halo and ruined it by giving everyone constant access to one hit kill power weapons and stickies. Pretty much. I honestly think I've been killed by a primary other than MIDA/UR twice this entire IB. And that was Hawksaw and the CoE Pulse Rifle. I'd be really surprised if they made more than a cursory effort to address it. All of the childrens are used to always having a sniper rifle and a shotgun at their disposal. Imagining the backlash if they took that away is amazing...but something Bungie would never do. e: This might sound  but remember that companies like this want to cater to the lowest common denominator because that keeps the idiots (ie: the overwhelming amount of consumers) happy. Don't expect poo poo like specials, UR or shotties in general to change.

Power weapons are cool but they should be situational. Adding a delay between when you can fire a shotgun and when you can melee by even like .25 seconds and then making snipers flinch more when being shot would solve almost all the issues with power weapon maining. For a while Mida had built in high caliber rounds and it was a very effective sniper counter, all guns should have the high caliber effect when you're ADSing as a sniper

If you get shot while sniping, the gun should fly out of your hands do a 180 in the air and then shoot a bullet into your own head. Except for those 1v1 standoffs. Those are infuriating when it looks like you hit first but end up dying. That's just internet lag, on his screen he shot first.

I rerolled my main, Hunter, a month or two ago so here's my kill breakdown without the 6 month boat anchor of stats playing as a moron. "Lifetime" KDR of 1.68 K+ADR of 2.26. I would describe my playstyle as reserved/support/ambush. Only a handfull of Trials cards on this character which I think IS very Special centric. Standard 6's is very much not and I think in a good place short of a few outliers.  Percentage of heavy kills would realistically be lower if I didn't main a broken as gently caress BTRD that's still capable of 7+ kills despite HMG ammo nerfs.
