What's interesting to me is that so many of the D2 changes seem to be a superficial understanding of fan feedback (better story, more "lore", cohesive flow from story, events, adventures, etc) and internal goals (simplify to grow user base)

But literally what was the goal for 4v4? if the goal was (presumably) getting the pro crowd,

1. why do they assume pros would rather 4v4 vs 6v6, given there are professional play in the 6v6 universe today?
2. how could they prioritize 4v4 over private matches / ranked play?

it just doesn't make sense fam

Also, it still takes a good while to connect with the smaller team size.

To be fair the connections are better than D1 and the match making times are much quicker.

Still a poo poo loving way of achieving that goal, dont get me wrong.

whoa just reporting in from alternate universe 2018 and

Hillary isn't a great pres but she's adequate and things are boring business as usual on the politics front

Bone Krew is going stronger than ever and the slack is run by consensus with no one taking their made up duties too seriously.

Destiny 2 PvP that's basically D1 but with dedicated servers and a reworked special ammo economy that has removed all the slot-breaking exotics and unlimited ammo specials is really fuckin good

I'm absolutely bewildered at "bone krew drama" because it looks like a bunch of 35 year old frat boys who are incoherently screaming at the bar about things their fellow alcoholics have no context for.

Also, I may or may not have submitted a paper to a legit academic press with "Moana" in it and it just made it past peer review.

In this little diorama you are the Milhouse loser waiting outside the bar, forever blocked by the bouncers

In a (futile) effort to avoid being owned, you try and stop random women entering the bar, explaining frantically that actually the apex predator alpha males inside are bad and that they should hang with soft beta participant trophy soy boys

Lmao you guys are all fat fucks which is probably why when I was at Bungie Days at Pax and ABGD was talking about talking poo poo to Deej's face and being a big baller and wearing his style boyz shirt he clammed up and was like "actually I'm not wearing that." When I mentioned I was there and he should say hi if he saw me in line.

Wouldn't want to break the illusion that you guys are all actually cool fit people without serious brain problems or anything.

There's an interview floating around somewhere from pre-launch that has one of the design leads talking about how the entire crucible team at Bungie told him 4v4 would be a bad idea but he had the final say and seemed really smug about it. Would be interesting to know if he still holds his position or if someone sensible has replaced him, and what his reaction to the reintroduction of 6v6 was.

Okay go ahead and make up some revisionist history now that you got called out. I know that it's really important that you guys cling to your identity as cool swole dudes too cool 4 school but yeah the meme abyss has looked back into you or whatever.

It really has. I basically invented it as a joke because the Xbox version of destiny was so loving gimped and the xbox was kinda in a lovely spot relative to the playstation in terms of player count and features and poo poo, so it was aggressive posturing to be patently absurd. Also it made the old thread OP really loving mad lmao.
