I'm not gonna think about that Bioware game for 2 years and then I'm gonna lul a bit when I peek at it again right before release and Mac Walters is not project lead and there have bee a few delays to rework core game mechanics and redo the ending.

Oh well, I fully expect some APB sheaningans when the game lands in the market. But surely ironmanning towards the mission area looks nice. Wonder how many variations of hidden / invulnerable anti ironman tanks will they put in place to prevent people from flying towards the end of the mission.

There will almost certainly be a D2 segment, who knows if it'll have something really new in it or just a rehash of the stream.

So apparently there are only 2 modes for PvP for D2. Quick and Competitive.

Quick has control clash wtc.

Competitive has countdown and... elim? Seems odd

Did they say elim was the second competitive mode, or is that just speculation?

Sounds like they understand they got a major problem with connection quality and sbmm and since they cant/wont redo their networking situation or change their pvp philosophy they are doing everything they can to mitigate things.

I can't say one way or another that I'm happy with it until the game comes out so we shall see.

Not liking the direction crucible is headed, pushing the competitive angle really hosed up Halo and they seem to be doing it again with D2. D1 crucible obviously has big issues but I like how it's generally a pretty chill setting where you can stunt on people with space magic and silly guns.

But then again Bungie has never put out a BAD multiplayer game so maybe things will be just fine.

I see, I thought they were intentionally not saying what the other mode was, which made me think it was going to be something new.

My gut feeling is they are going to dial up the SBMM to 11, so putting everyone into 2 giant catch all playlists is the best way, so they can slice and dice people based skill to their hearts content.

It's a piece of poo poo philosophy. It would be all well and good if there was some reason to go up brackets of skill. Better rewards or even just a rank next to your name. Something. Nothing pisses me off more than seeing the thumbless wanker with a 0.1kd get the ballerhorn.

But if it means i can find a game quicker than once every 10 minutes then it's still an improvement over the current aids we have now.

That's less of an issue when you have an optimized build.



Part of the big problem with the Division is that I don't think the setting and environment of a tom Clancy game fully meshes with diablo style loot mechanics, at least in terms of player expectations for a large part of the population.

It is a bit incongruent to shoot a guy in the head 100 times with a realistic looking weapon, and the first reaction is "uh that's not how irl poo poo works" rather than "oh I need an +1 mp5 navy of wizardry" even though the latter is how the game works.

part of the issue is that you have to snap to cover from 2 miles away and plink to stay alive, which is a bit incongruent, since this is a video game and my first reaction is "uh this is not fun"

The problem is their skill based philosophy doesnt even work. We had 0 games go to score limit on sunday when we were in that 6. It just meant the games took forever to find and then sucked connection wise. None of them were competitive.

If they had everything connection based the result would've been the same just faster to find games and a smoother experience. For a greater cross section of players.

I dont mind their philosophy of just 4 game modes a week 2 of which feature a heavier match making because its just going to mean literally everyone plays the two without it. Not ideal but not terrible either because for the last year everyones just played the weekly mode anyway unless it was mayhem aids. If im locked into two modes but the connection is fine I can live with it.

The problem is going to come in december when/if they do what they do every christmas and adjust the match making to be tighter than a fishes rear end in a top hat across all playlists to protect the xmas influx and we'll get no connection quality again anywhere.

The tip lipped nature of the pvp when the numbers in pvp have at times been huge is a little frustrating.
