Yeah I generally have to go out of my way to avoid them lol. But I play this game 1) to dress up my Barbie and 2) for the lore, and like it or not (mostly not since Plunder) the story is correlative to the latter

Parts of the Hardy’s Chosen set could work as a big daddy. It’s an old cosmonaut-style Eververse set, I don’t know if it’s still available.

I hope this Marathon thing will take all the PvP devs and the devs who feel that if you're not constantly being "challenged" then you can't possibly be having fun. I'd be thrilled if they removed PvP from destiny and scrapped crucible as well. That said, this seasons activities have been real nice! Deep dive and salvage both seem to have not only adequate mob densities but they aren't all champions or something. It's been nice to be in groups of 6 people and I don't have any downtime (i.e. nothing to kill) because everything was obliterated the instant it was spotted because everyone has grenades on a microsecond cooldown. Also, allowing co-op for deep dive is fantastic! I wish they'ed set this up for every activity as strike would be a hell of a lot more fun if we didn't have to have a super annoying sweaty third who just wants to speed run it as fast as humanly possible. I get it, strikes are kind boring after 10 years, but some of us still enjoy them and would like to not speed run them. Basically, I like getting stoned and murdering mobs in destiny 2. I'm not here to be challenged, I'm here to unwind and have a good time at the end of the day.

I'm like 99% certain you can, for the most part, avoid playing PvP almost completely. Of course if you're going for all seasonal challenges or all cats or all bright dust and stuff you will, like me, be forced into engaging with PvP against your wishes. But if you're willing to forego that you can never touch it or just the minimum amount. I play roughly three matches a week and get all I need, barring special gently caress you's like IB and seasonal challenges like rift.

a multi-team pvevp 'extraction' game or whatever is, in fact, a different sort of thing than destiny's arena shooter just saying 'well they are both pvp' is ridiculously reductive, and tbh I doubt there will be much long term transfer of destiny pvp players- they play destiny pvp because they like destiny pvp if they wanted some other genre of shooter, they'd be playing that instead, and vice versa. doesn't matter if it's bungie take on that other genre, the simple fact is that 'extraction' or battle royales have very different flows to them compared to arena shooters Mazerunner fucked around with this message at 20:27 on May 25, 2023 |

There's going to be a huge burst of D2 players trying out the hot new thing and a lot of them are going to quit when they find it's new and different, and then they'll complain online. Hopefully after that the game can stand on its own merits

Another emblem code JND-HLR-L69, this one isn't visible ingame yet but will be added in the next patch. It's apparently gonna be Marathon themed (it came from the ARG).

Out of ignorance: Beyond not having Bungie style weird poo poo happening constantly, why would you prefer connection based as opposed to skill? A close loss is much better than an easy stomp to me.

Sure, but to much poo poo is tied to PvP as a requirement and it really should just be an alternative. I do notice they are seemingly adding a lot of "Or kill guardians for faster progress" and I'm super fine with that. They should do more of that instead of gating it behind poo poo a lot of people in D2 clearly don't like.

Lexorin posted:Define "Plenty" and make sure it applies specifically to my needs/wants. I just hate this assumption that everyone who likes PVP is good and likes stomping pubbies. I'm sure I'm someone who would be considered 'free' by almost all proper pvp players. I'm really bad at PVP FPS games and love destiny because you can get 6 PVP losers like me together and have a fun time. The marathon game won't be that, it will be the sort of game where if you aren't good there's no point in playing. Destiny PVP is uniquely fun for bad players like me and I don't get why the PVE mains think everyone in PVP loves their suffering.

I just get really annoyed when cool, fun, useful poo poo gets disabled or nerfed because it's causing too much trouble in PvP, the mode where something is always causing trouble or Gambit, the mode nobody cares about.

Crucible has a separate sandbox, balancing, and list of locked items though If something is locked or nerfed for PvE it's because it was (deemed) a problem in PvE

I mean, I feel D2 PvP is already in the "If you're not good there's no point" arena and not everyone has 5 or even 2 other people to play with. I had a hard enough time getting my partner to play and they hate PvP more than I do so that ship will never sail even if I did want to pvp. dodgeblan posted:Destiny PVP is uniquely fun for bad players like me and I don't get why the PVE mains think everyone in PVP loves their suffering. poo poo matchmaking mostly. But people who cheat don't want a fair fight. People who use exploits don't want a fair fight. These are both problematic things in d2 and it makes me think that people who play pvp want to win more then they want a fair playing field. Yes, it is unfair to lump everyone who enjoys pvp with those who cheat and exploit, but if you swim in the public pool you're bound to get covered with piss. I realize I didn't really cover you point that well. "poo poo matchmaking" is still most of the answer. If I have a 1.5 K/D and I get pitted against someone with 5.0 k/d that is always going to be a bad experience for me. If that is almost always the case then there is no chance at getting better. If you can't progress in a way that isn't "mindlessly grind until time solves your problem" then you are going to have a bad time. Sometimes I'm the 1.5k/d against a 0.5 k/d, this is also a bad experience for me as I gain nothing from killing that guy. And then there's latency.

Banshee has Sailspy Pitchglass for sale which is a TOP top SSS-tier weapon for this season and in general. If anyone missed out on it from Plunder Season last year, this is absolutely worth investing your Redframe Makers in It's an arc precision linear, and it's an exceptionally good weapon for Legend+ content. Compulsive Reloader (yes, really!) and Voltshot go together like chocolate and peanut butter to let you annihilate hordes of red and yellow bars with great burst damage potential on Champions and Bosses as well. Charge Time won't affect the Jolt damage so don't bother with Liquid or Accelerate Coils, and definitely skip anything that increases Magazine Size since our goal is to reload after each shot My perfect one would probably be like... Any MW other than Charge Time Any Barrel you want, to complement your Masterwork Particle or Projection depending on your Barrel & MW Choices Compulsive Reloader Voltshot

I'm not weighing in on the pvp discussion other than to say there are a shitload of cheaters on pc. It's as bad as its ever been. On a somewhat related note playing Trials in a 3-stack is far far harder than it was before all the matchmaking changes which kind of sucks.

I absolutely agree that my statements are very broad in breadth. I think it all boils down to this - matchmaking sucks. Cheating/exploiting sucks. Different strokes for different folks. My personal hope at this point is more PvE OR PvP options instead of purely one or the other. You know, like the "Kill fallen or guardians" with guardians earning you more progress. I'll stop harping on about PvP though.
