Hi, after lurking for some time, I just wanted to introduce myself fellow guardians.

I’m a Titan main and a PVP Jotunn user. Sorry.



Also why are titans the most heavily nerfed class?

Thanks for attending my TED talk.

I'll get one of those eventually lol. Supposedly Jotunn will also eventually handle unstoppables but I wouldn't bet on it

Oh neat, I'll have to try it later. I haven't actually swapped off Striker Titan all season lmao

Welcome brother. What exotics do you tend to use with Jotunn? I kind of just dick around with whatever and use it to spice the game up on top lol

For this season I am using Synthoceps, last season was Loreley Splendor.

I usually go with something that maps to the identity of the season, next season I’ll see what makes more sense according to the seasonal artifacts ( I expect Bungie to give us a lot mote Stasis stuff so might go with Path of Burning Steps)

that's what transmog is for. I don't use 90% of the armor pieces I get, but I do actively seek out collecting every new one so I can unlock it with transmog.

true, but I do believe that random armor that you don’t pull from collections should drop 60+

I do need to go to Ada and do some bounties for transmogs

every hunter in pvp is wearing the same exotic. Knucklehead Radar, so I vote we remove the overshield of One Eyed Mask and just mark targets. Fair right?

Bungie uses Valve’s SDR service https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/features/multiplayer/steamdatagramrelay

That is used to connect player to player, but they do have a connection made directly to their own infrastructure. Whoever is doing this has a lot of knowledge on Bungie’s D2 network.

long post ahead:

as a Jotunn main, I gravitate to the 6v6 pvp game modes and I feel they main issue with SBMM is not the “B” or “M” but the S.

Let me explain.

What is skill? How can we measure skill? for connection based match making we have an actual measurable value: Latency (disclaimer: I am a computer toucher who works for the largest ISP in the US).

Bungie has said that they can predict the outcome of the match fairly consistently when players are say 200+ points off each other.

But how do we know how these points are earned? they say “actions in the game” but how are they weighted, what contributes more to your skill number? KDA? zone captures? assists? the outcome of the match?

I find myself playing bad whenever I have teammates that do not follow the logical choice in a situation, example:

In IB control once you have all 3 zones it locks you out and the kills increase your score by a larger amount; so why would you push when the other team is in “the hunt”? you are supposed to hide and bundle with teammates to survive.

Then I overcompensate and try to either do it myself or get double teamed when expecting a teammate to read the radar and figure out is a 2v2 and if we stick together we have a chance to win the engagement.

I feel that Bungie should show us our MMR value in game, should document how your actions affect this value and show us at the end of the match the average value of the MMRs in both teams so we can understand better the outcome and give us sliders to control matchmaking: I would rather spend more time trying to find matches so there is a level playing field or I don’t care I just want to play casually and values in between.

Maybe have in game tutorials showing players basic crucible knowledge or map awareness with bots and Shaxx in your ear.

Anyways I have a lot more to say on this matter but thanks for coming to my TED talk

Hate mail should only be directed to players that

- Use a Bow + 120 HC
- Use Le Monarque or Wish Ender

(just kidding let people play with what they want, Bungie will try to fix outliers at some point and never message other players)

Guardian Games can never be fair, as there are more hunters than other classes.

Bungie may try to level the odds but it is impossible.

Just allow us to fight each other in Control and Gambit class vs class
