And when they finally do have something to show it gets flattened out over 3 livesteams.

Why the gently caress does a basic balance patch need a loving livesteam. Its infuriating.

He's just playing dumb.

Everything in this game was intentional.

Bungie "fixed" the lag by removing everyone's connection bar.

What? The more I read it the less it makes sense to me. How do they make a sequel to a game with a ping indicator, that basically uses the same engine and they're "not sure thats possible". I wish I had a job at bungie cos it seems like a place retards like myself can flourish

What I don’t understand is how Bungie didn’t see this coming. I played a ton of D1 and as soon as Bungie announced 4v4 and fixed rolls it was obvious D2 would suck.

i mean you nailed it perfectly with the pizza metaphor imo

competing fiefdoms that don’t communicate led by egomaniacs who have probably never been reprimanded for any sort of failure is not a great way to put out a title

the fact that bungie had to reboot d2 and shove out rise of iron says a whole lot

I heard "longer grenade and super cooldowns" and "moving snipers/shotguns to heavy" and I knew it was gonna suck.

I wish I'd listened to myself. I didn't play Destiny 1 until after TDB DLC and I feel like I missed a lot of the original complaints about the game. shoulda followed suit on this one and just played out the D1 ROI content while they ironed all of this out.

I think that if high-impact snipers could 1-shot kill anywhere on the body and shotguns could 1-shot kill from a partial spread hit at medium range that would balance them pretty nicely.

No one uses these things in PVP (for the most part) because there is no "big play potential" in them. Rockets will absolutely net you multi-kills, as can swords and, if you're good enough, shotguns... but snipers are just too loving niche to see wide-spread use in PVP.

Also, moving snipers back to the energy slot would probably cause a drop-off in mida usage and I'm fine with that. At least snipers cause tunnel vision, whereas a mida gives everyone aim radar and that's just loving retarded in a game like this.

It would finally make them usable. But then why would you ever choose a fusion rifle?

This would be fair, I believe.

I offer you a alternative: they do not kill, but they kick back the victim and if the victim collide with something, get some damage.

Fusions and Snipers cater to very different playstyles. Someone who's down with 1-shot kills with a sniper isn't the kind of dude who'd rock a loving fusion rifle anyway.

If you kept ammo after death with heavies they would be plenty balanced and there'd be reasons to run a sniper. It wouldn't hurt rockets because you only have 2 rocks anyway.
