Okay seriously, what the hell is ELO?

The last name of some guy who invented a ranking system for chess, a 1v1 game, and every dumb stats site uses it for PvP ranking in a team shooter.

it's elo, not ELO (it's a name, not an acronym), and it's a matchmaking system (more specifically, a ranking system) that was originally used in chess that has spread and become adapted to a lot of multiplayer games ranking website systems.

also, very few games actually use an elo ranking system, but a lot of systems that will scrape apis and generate their own ranks use their own modified elo systems. this is why, for example, guardian.gg and destiny tracker will have their own fairly different estimations of your player skill.

The idea that people complain of "handouts" in a loving video game is the most asinine thing imaginable. It's hard for me to process without seeing whoever invokes it as human trash.

If somebody's one of the ten best players in the world, I don't mind handing them some cool-rear end looking award that sticks out like a neon sign declaring their greatness to everyone while they're busy dismantling stacks of shaders in menus. That's fine. However, the idea that you "put the time in" to make basic progress is the kind of language used to justify making a social video game seem like a job.

I just get tired of the "grind is good" mentality to video games, they're made often by people who have either too much time or not enough money and need one video game to sustain them as long as possible. In the case of Trials, it annoyed me when I got D2 that the only scout rifle in the game with a stability rating and a handling rating over 50, which as a statistic that I was actively seeking out, was a Trials gun. Because, well, I'm never going to play Trials. Never did in D1, and not gonna here. I'm not interested in "sweaty" PVP.

I get rewarding the best players with things that make people say wow, but keep them cosmetic.

yeah people were happy as pigs in poo poo about how 85 percent of the garbage in d2 was cosmetic oh wait that didn't happen and everyone hated it

it was really worth running the dogass prestige raid so my titan raid gear with no perks and a useless stat could glow purple, definitely

are you Markov bot or something? the entire source of this discussion is that there is loot people are actually, literally excited about, and they want it to be easier to acquire.

Tell me more about how PvP works. Im keen for your insight.

oh no, I shouldn't, scrub opinions get you all riled up :nsa:

The pulse rifle has a low ttk after you get a headshot kill, reload and get 2 seconds to find someone else to shoot at... just like the current raid pulse rifle... which almost no one uses.

Inaugural address? Have you tried it since the patch? It's strong as hell now, I see it being used all the time now.

It's supposedly going to last 7 seconds, with no cool down between activations. So stronger longer-lasting kill clip (which lasts 5 seconds, +33% damage) + very fast reloads + no cooldown + long-range gun archetype that just got buffed.

You follow the path
fitting into an infinite pattern.

Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild.

Now, in the quantum moment
before the closure
when all become one.

One moment left.
One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.
