Sad but inevitable. People have had their fill. They'll probably be a bit of a bump this week due to the reveal but its all downhill after that.

Nightfall looks fun this week.

I only got to play IB for 2 hours last night at last call, but that was loving awesome. I'm glad Mayhem Clash is back for another round this week, I need to finish out my Titan and Warlock book pages.

Yeah I think this weekend / following reset will probably see a minor uptick before the inevitable fall off.

I think the Beta will be pretty heavily populated though.

30fps
No dedicates servers
Skill based match making carries over
Nerfs or removals of all your favourite class perks
Worse voice actors
Less story
No raid
Multiple currencies
Even vendors are now rng based
More grinding

Inshah allah

The only hope I have ( and I know it will be crushed ) is better social stuff, a reason to be in a clan, and MMO style raid queues.

Their netcode was a fork of halo, they needed to have hardware clones of Xboxes and playstations sitting in datacenters in order to have actual dedicated servers.

They had years to plan so it's unlikely they are just doing another fork of Halo 1's xbox codebase. I'd assume they do what just about every other MMO-lite does and have general purpose netcode that can use on demand virtual machines for hosting.

They need to do something. Its a 500 million dollar franchise that doesnt have dedicated servers and monumental levels of complaint everywhere the games discussed about the complications lag causes.

Fair enough, d1 began design in 2010 and was designed to be used on 4 platforms but its 2017 and for a triple a title to have game breaking failures because they don't have a server base is nuts.

The Activision ceo did say something like "dedicated features" referencing their plans for pc but I'll believe it when I see it.

This is a team after all that does their balancing based on numbers in a spreadsheet, has no consultation with players and refuses to acknowledge theres problems in a lot of areas.

Datto was right when he said hardcore pvp players and hardcore pve players have the same legitimate gripes and theyre ignored because 80% of the player base are drooling dipshits who cry when they cant get a shader let alone lose a game of control via mercy.

They dont want to make higher end hard content because then some little flower will wilt too hard under the strain and complain with a
"Dear bungie Im a 98 year old man with cancer who cant go flawless but i played since alpha please give me a handout emblem".

Even CoD doesn't get servers and that's their big money maker, even the "failure" that IW was despite still being the top selling game of 2016.

Removing SBMM will go a long way to make the game better I feel.

I though CoD had dedicated servers since Ghosts/AW?

But yeah SBMM should be flushed down the toilet either way. Sitting in orbit for 10 minutes to play a game for a 3 minute mercy is loving lame

Tf2, halo, overwatch, battlefield etc. Cod i think switched to a hybridised system so if the dedicated servers they do have get congested and connection quality would be better with p2p it changes to that.

I dont know how that works but it would have to be better than this poo poo.

Id be happy if they just had unranked which was cbmm so I can play half in the bag and test guns and a ranked which wasn't and I could sweat my balls off with my bros who like pvp when I'm slightly less in the bag.

That class item was the last piece I needed for the shader.
