The pvp is slightly growing on me but it's still a terrible direction to take the game.

Countdown needs to go to 4
Survival needs to go to 3

Quickplay scores need to be reduced by a third

(Player count needs to go to 6)

We need to have selectable game modes, and we need the return of Big Team Battle from Halo 3 (which would just be 6s).

Also, Custom Lobbies so we can have a sweet XBone Krew Elite PvP Tournament!

Love how quickplay is constant emblem bros and extremely close matches going to time and competitive is is a bunch of 6-1/4-1 romps

Odd, my experience is exactly the opposite of this, it's why I stopped even doing Quickplay at all.

Got 3x Kinetic +5 legendary mods, for my first 3 legendary mods! Lucky!

Even happy with the other loot that I am getting on my Titan.

I guess this makes up for not getting a Gallahorn until the night before Xur sold it the 2nd time..... the next day everyone had one!

Is there going to be a clan culling on ps4 at some point to boot the inactives, and to ensure all clans hit the weekly rewards by condensing the actives play togeather.

Also how loving dumb is it you can't just set a flag to show clan members you want to do a thing?

They didn't do 4v4 for esports, they did 4v4 so they only had to make one size of map. Bungie got really mad that no one liked First Light so instead of doing small, medium, and large maps they flipped off the entire world and make only medium maps.

Has anyone noticed the rewards are different between the two crucible queues? On quickplay you get more shaxx tokens but less purples. It's quite clear after even a medium sample size of matches.

Well I guess I should clarify, Quickplay always tended to drop me into matches where we just stomp the other team, which isn't really why I play. I like close matches even if my team loses.

Last night, stupid dork dropped out after losing the first point of Set The Bombs. The 3 of us left still won because that mode is clownshoes easy on offense AND defense if your team is even remotely competent.

Someone said a month but I don't think that was actually an admin.

Also I think the overflow clans had their leadership promoted fairly randomly, so we may very well have clans end up leaderless.

easier to put a team together with or without the backing of an org along with being much cheaper.

i have nothing tangible to give you to back this up so we'll just have to wait and see but i work in the industry where my role that requires me to talk to studios, esports orgs, streamers, events and other endemics about future plans on a daily basis. especially this time of the year when 2018 planning is happening. there is a reason Activision got involved. they can utilize everything Blizzard has created for PC gaming and the upcoming Overwatch league. every studio wants to have a successful esports IP because there is a gently caress ton amount of money in the space right now with no signs of slowing down.

Blizzard more than anyone wants a piece and will keep trying until they get it due to self loathing and saltiness they've experienced since passing on dota2 (even though they would have ruined it)

I have a 99 win percentage. I fuuucking love me some pvp.

I play Quick play because
A) the connections are not as poo poo
B) games dont take 15 minutes to find
C) its less likely the enemy team drops 2 players a round in
D) I don't get survival where the enemy team gets one pick with mida team shots and then hides trying to play for time instead of kills.

Competitive is a decent enough playlist and if my bros are down I'll run that but I'd rather get 10 games under my belt than 5 in the same time and I'd rather play a few chuckle fucks from Australia in a stack or not than play a 3 man team from the US and a random pubbie from Saudi Arabia who drops a round in when he gets his career ended.

Even in Quick play the matchmaking can be tight at times. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. They built a game where you need to work as a team. So people play in a team. So they win, so their match making gets harder, so they need to play with a good team to do well, So they win... and on and on it goes.

Buying the winning factions weapon, if you aren't pledged to that faction, is going to cost 50k glimmer. If you are a member it costs 1k.

Thank god I leveled three characters because I haven't had 50k glimmer for awhile

It was a cold dark night in the tower as I waited for someone to carry me in trials. Suddenly, I got a message, it was poom!

"Hey do you want to go flawless in trials?"

I couldn't believe my fortune, as typically poom betty and sinaddr simply made ignored me when I asked if they wanted to run a card. All together they joined me in the tower.

"You ready?"

"Sure but..."

Something was wrong. They were all warlocks. Poom was always a hunter. He also seemed to not be blazed to hell, another first.

"But first we need to do one thing to prepare."

Poom, betty and sinaddr pulled out their arc soul

"Get on your knees."

I wasn't sure what was happening, but I really wanted to go flawless, so I did it.

All of a sudden, all three arc souls were firing at me! For what seemed like an endless amount of time, I was being showered in white arc souls. I was exhausted but also felt cleansed.

"One more thing" they said.

All three took out their coldhearts and began to spray their laser beams onto my face. Despite the name, the beams were felt warm and refreshing.

Once they were done, I received my emblem.

I never thought this could happen to me. And I could think of no better word to describe it than flawless.
