Making PvP more fun for the top 10% and poo poo for the remaining 90% seems like it would be, you know, a really bad idea...

I think some of you need to realize that Bungie is never gunna get rid of SBMM and either stop playing a game you hate because of a feature that's going nowhere or accept it.

Im just glad they confirmed dedicated servers for D2.

That will make a big difference i think to peoples perception of this game.

I Kinda agree with that nerds point, 4 x 4 is fine, small tight maps are fine but Big team battle in halo was fun as hell, zipping round on that stupid bike with someone with a rocket launcher perched on the back was the business, surely you want some variation in whats available.

Longer 16 x 16 or 20 x 20 on larger maps would be fun to mess around in

I don't really understand them not giving people an option, i get why they choose one matchmaking method over another, but forcing everyone into a restricted game type seems a bit backwards

I also miss the sandbox type PvP that they used to put into one of the halo games where they would make haunted houses and stuff and put weird match rules in place to goof off with, i wish that stuff would return

Yuck @ all of that.

also, people who think that they 'have a chance' because of more primary play are kidding themselves. it puts even more pressure on you to hit all of your shots when you're playing against somebody who can consistently hit headshots with a hand cannon.

"primary play" sounds like some gross as gently caress fetish that middle aged or people on tumblr have

I think that the matchmaking for the raids will be fine and maybe im stupid but i trust Bungie to implement it properly.

It would have been cool in some of the earlier raids to practice some of the tougher parts like the peen wall without the pressure of a LFG group sighing as you fell for the 18th time so a dumbed down raid in comparison to the proper team raids will be a good thing imho, it should also embolden some of the more timid unsure players to join LFG groups etc which would be a good thing for everyone in the long run.

As long as the main raids dont suffer as a result then i struggle to see why anyone would have a problem with it.

Raid match making would be the most retarded poo poo ever.... so it kinda surprises me bungie haven't done it, as they have an illustrious record of doing the most retarded poo poo ever.

I started this game a no body shmo with no destiny friends. Now I've got 500 spergs on my friends list and irl mates too because of the heavy emphasis on team work in Destiny. Its the best thing about the game.

If i played solo i would stopped playing week 3.

They need to keep the proper raids as in D1 for the good poo poo, and let the schmoes join a watered down version for some kit that is on a par with what drops from from standard matchmaking. That way everyone is happy.

Raid matchmaking is dumb, and you're dumb for wanting it.
Get some friends you loving anti-social nerds.

To be clear i have a regular group that i raid with every Friday.

I just remember what it was like wanting to do the raids but worried that i would drag everyone down, then joining groups that weren't patient and being put off for the next few months.

If i recall the number of people that complete a raid or even make any significant progress in shockingly small. That's a significant issue for Bungie in my opinion, that the main end game activity is SO heavily gated because significant functionality isn't build into the game itself.

To be fair ive not looked for a raid group since the XBOX LFG functionality was introduced but initially LFG was a crap shoot

It only really clicked for me when i found a few decent groups on 100.io and started joining regular raids that people were posting each week,

Most groups are weak sauce but its fairly easy if your keen to see the same names popping up regularly and jumping on. From there you just need to join regularly and not be a dick and people will start seeking you out to join.

SmallpoxJenkins posted:

LFG is toxic garbage and most likely always will be.
You're way better off using one of the numerous goon groups to raid with. We have tolerance and patience up until about the 3rd raid, and then we'll start giving you poo poo.

Unfortunately (for numerous reasons) im in the UK so goon groups are pretty much useless as they are really heavily US based.

These two things are not the same, though - he might never sell it again regardless of its "game breaking"ness

My point is that he wont sell the golden goose egg in W1 just because he they did it in D1. If anything theyve toned down the exotics so we wont get another Thorn or pre nerf gally.

D1 was essentially a beta we all paid 100 bucks to live test for them and one thing they learnt was exotics in D1 were "too" much fun.

Any cool poo poo will come out like TOM or SS did.

That combined with everything dropping below my current light level is certainly an interesting approach.

Im assuming the reason is to slow people down so theres less grinding for quick LL increases?

Just had a grenade launcher drop that i was bored enough to mess around with in crucible and i can confirm its loving hilarious.

Its called Berengers Memory or something and its grenades stick to surfaces until triggered. I spend about an hour popping it onto the top beam of door frames or on the floor below power ammo drops and sitting back and watching the hilarity.

Its almost as much fun as the sticky grenade launcher in halo used to be.

It's depressingly dead. I mean, the dog section turned me off from the raid as it is(stop putting stealth sections in your loving game Bungie), but I have literally no desire or reason to do the raid on normal difficulty, nevermind the prestige mode.

The dog section is fun as hell and can be done in about 5 mins if you know what your doing. Its basically a pallet cleanser between rounds of shooting shooting so much shooting
