I honestly don't understand why people keep playing PvP games if they get so genuinely upset when they lose. When I lose I'm just like "lol". If getting backstabbed and teabagged by some anonymous person in a video game made me that mad, I would just not play. Like, I don't go see bands and stay if they're terrible, I just... walk away.

Yeah I don't really get why it's bothers people so much. It's a very casual thing. Let it roll off your back. It's a game where people can suddenly become invincible and kill the entire other team let's not get too serious here.

okay but most people realize you can't reliably win a coin toss

like yeah, sometimes you get a team that realizes you should stick together but then you also get teams who seem to make every attempt to be as far from you and your teammates as possible at all times

it'll always be a coin flip with that logic, Goons vs. Xx420noscopexX could land Bone Krew in a Destiny 2 montage. Just cause the other team has the same clan name does not mean they are coordinated or good. I completed the challenges in 3 games with full randoms vs. clan and won twice by a large margin and squeaked the last one out.

i really enjoy Destiny pvp but lets not pretend it's by far the easiest pvp mode(s) ever created. Michael Fox has just a good of chance as dominating than some tryhard from CoD or whatever is cool these days

So dumb question should i get this game y/n

I like RPGs, I like shooters, I used to love the Halo games. I also like when enemies aren't big health sponges and I'm not 100% in love with really spergy borderlands-esque weapon looting.

Would mostly be playing by myself rather than with a group I think?

I play solo most of the time but if you don't plan to ever play with people then I might not bother, the best parts of the game are co-op

loving lmao it was rounding

The quest progress is made from playing games and getting kills, you probably had like the closest amount of completion you could get without having completed it, and the 2-digit % display probably rounds up to 100% when you're at 99.9999 or whatever

Because one dedicated person cleaning up adds once you've verified that the idiot pubs know how to do the event and make it heroic will make it go by super fast


Then you finish it and immediately fast travel to the same zone and half the time you'll get put into an instance where the event is still active so you can get double the loot :hawksin:

Solo is totally playable if your teammates aren't idiots who run directly at the opposing team every single time they spawn

I played Crucible solo last night for hours (Competitive) and won at least 3/4 of the matches.

I usually only play solo (i play at lovely times during mid-day because of a split shift at work) and competitive is fun until a game of Countdown starts and I get put into a team who don't understand the concept of it. Every drat time.p

But all in all, pvp this time around seems chiller.

Lost items space at the Postmaster is 21 slots. Which makes D2 exactly 5% better than D1.

You can play everything up to and possibly including the Nightfall without ever verbally communicating. You can imagine people in strikes are bots if you want. You can get PvP loot by picture-in-picturing the game and running around in circles holding down the fire button while you watch Netflix if you want. You kinda have to play with other people but you don't have to communicate with them in any way.

'cheating' is kind of laughable because cheating virtually does not exist in modern console games but lag is a very real issue that has a tangible gameplay effect and it is very irritating watching some dude take no damage from your guns before he dragonball z instant transmissions in front of you and you have somehow died

Lag was a far more imagined problem than real for I'm sure the large majority of goons who weren't in Cheese factory's mmr bracket. Or the result of playing on a shittily configured network.

Regardless, I don't have a problem when I'm on a team and people are like "this sucks tonight, lag sucks, these teams are killing us, let's go do something fun like attempt the pleasure gardens blind for four hours." But like, if you're gonna flip out and rage and freak out your cat, please have the good sense to mute your mic so the rest of us don't have to be somewhat concerned about your mental well being.

I was nowhere near cheesefactory levels of destiny 1 PvP skill and lag was a predominant feature of D1 pvp.

You could totally feel the difference in lobby quality.


The one area where I was actually cheesefactory quality in D1 was loving SRL (lmao) and the connection quality once I reached peak skill there was insanely bad.

I'm just saying the pool of people to actually have a significant lag based handicap by virtue of being in top tier sbmm is much smaller than you would think from reading the thread.

Of course you're going to have the occasional hiccup but no dude with silver elo you're not getting thrown in with red bar Brazilians every match either.

e: of course this could have been mitigated somewhat by, you know, dedicated servers.

e2: I actually find the climate change comparison hilarious though my dude. Evidence for climate change: something like 97% of scientific consensus backed up by peer reviewed studies. Evidence for most Destiny lag bullshit: a consensus of goons just so sure that last kill was bullshit man!

Legend of Acrius is fuckin' sweet in crucible getting double kills with one shot ain't that hard and I hope that is part of the quest line. My goal is a 4 kill with one shot, the gun could totally do it you just need the other team to group up. It does feel like the kind of thing that would be banned in sweats or whatever. Also I prefer quickplay for solo crucible, cuz when you die you always respawn and can start shooting dudes again. I also enjoy supremacy it creates some interesting situations.

I'm going by now many redbars were seen/videoed/etc at all levels. Not "omg bs I totally hit them first 11!!1"

Not just from the thread. And no, there's not a huge need for scientific study of bungie failing matchmaking as it won't kill the world. It would be nice to have a fun time with good matching in my free time before we all get nuked or need co2 gills.
