I doubt they go into PvP tomorrow, that will get it's own event later on. Pve is perfectly fine with the current way it is set up, imo.

Its supposed to be a 2 hour stream isnt it? A lot of poo poo got broken into 3 streams in the past but theyve got too many streamers and media members on their way there to just to a two hour jerk off over a story mission and social space.

These are the people who flew out journalists around the globe to their offices to debut the original game with a video that was like 8 minutes of them saying how legendary Destiny was going to be and showed 5 seconds of actual gameplay.

If they have dedicated servers they will certainly mention it. As its very positive news. As is 60fps (wont happen).

If they don't they will avoid it all together.

They won't mention match making at all.

I recon PvP will be in the mix but if it isn't that wouldn't really surprise me either.

You eventually get paired up with the same people over and over pretty much and its hell to find matches if you're any good at the game. It also doesn't take connections into account which is a huge issue given how strange Destiny's netcode is where a red bar is drat near unstoppable.

It could affect you too, the only thing of note I have in crucible is a positive K/D and once the game thought that tripleWreck and his boys where a good team to pit me and my random 5 pubbies against.

This was during IB though.

To give you the really quick run down. Once you start playing and winning quite a bit bungie throws you into the higher tier match making problems include:

Connections are thrown out the window so you end up playing against players from all over the world. This means you face red bars. Just about every game.

It "locks out" players who could literally be living next door from your lobby so you spend three times as long in orbit waiting for games.

You're more likely to get lopsided lobbies games of 6 v 3 etc are common.

Because of the nature of sbmm unless you use on meta load outs and play your best every game you get poo poo on.

Its so heavily weighted if you play with a bad player on your team their experience goes to poo poo while you rape.

Theres nothing you can do mitigate the connection issues because of the game design.

It essentially punishes players for being good and stops you from being able to play pvp with a good chunk of your clan mates otherwise it just sucks for them.

Bungies argument seems to be that it keeps things fair, but it makes it pretty unfair when my game experience is made worse in just about every way because Im half decent.

It also creates a bit of a cycle where the top players want to succeed so they only play with good players as its the only way to grt games a little faster and mitigate some of the game bullshit.

SBMM stuff

The problem with pure CBMM is that is that most games turn into an unfun stomp for the players that are merely average.

Certain people are just really good at games, while the majority are average or worse. and many matches end up being one shark or two in a pond full of sardines.

Yeah, it's fun for those really good players, but everyone else is hating it.

So the compromise is to make it unfun for everyone? That seems like poor decision making.

Only way I'd be okay with the current configuration is if red bars didn't top score every loving time. Neuter them and life would be tolerable.
