A friendly rant from Feathers (Disclaimer) I live in Asia with a hard wired dedicated connection. (Easy) No more joining hopeless matches in progress. Rumble is pretty much useless. Respect our time thank you. (It's complicated) Rethink weapons that break their archetypes too aggressively, creating the 'meta'. Two tap LITC handcannons with crazy accuracy and range. Low impact high ROF pulses that have the highest TTK from pretty much any range due to ridiculous stability buffs in their rolls. Shotguns that have so much range that fusions and sidearms are considered 'for fun'. Aim assist values that are 'active' during flinch, bouncing NLB shots into my dome after half a clip of any primary. This could go on for a while. It is these issues combined with latency (what we call lag) that have me scratching my head dying behind cover and through walls every single day. It's like my deaths end with a graffiti dancing man on the wall near my body. 'Meta' weapons are almost exclusively sad parodies of the archetype they represent. (Match making) Matchmaking, however you want to spin it. It's not working correctly, life in PvP is miserable. I remember a time when we could mail some GGs and make friends in the crucible. Trials MM you post feels like complete BS, look at how much viewership & money (including "donations") your system makes streamers/carries. It is weighted to provide a hilarious disadvantage at any fresh card with boons or any round that would yield a loot reward (extend playtime at all costs). This mode being the only outlet for the 'competitive' scene has created more anger and vile behavior than any game I have ever played. Just have a think about how other communities are fostering their competitive players and (ughhh) "content creators" in a way more exciting way. I would rather see TV fight for a higher rank or acolyte, then Krafty talk shit when sniping the faces off kids trying to enjoy their weekend. (Last thoughts) I know it's tough, we are so far down the rabbit hole with updates, patches, nerfs, buffs, and all that; but the solutions for Destiny 1 are there, within reach. This whole journey feels like one huge beta test what can be the greatest game ever made. We want to be here, our friends are here, we don't want to move on to other games and rebuild. We want Destiny back. (My bullet list) - complete rework that honors weapon archetypes in PvP. (no exceptions) - healthy options that reward competitive players and encourage them to guide the community, not make money destroying it. - social and ranked playlists + less playlists in general to increase MM pools. - more honesty from our favorite studio, don't hide behind Deej and Cosmo. Watch an Overwatch developer update and look how brave that dude is for his game. You guys are clearly angry with your fans when you peek your heads up. We love this game, let us enjoy it.
