First and foremost, I am a PVE player. So when I say Crucible is fun in D2, let me say that not getting ability spam killed every 10 seconds has been a breath of fresh air. Unfortunately, that's where the fun ends. The cool downs of abilities in PVE is straight up boring. Bungie has had a long time motivation to keep their player base in the game as long as possible. I believe a lot of Bungie's decisions dev. wise are built from the vision that they want you to take longer to complete an activity for no "lore" reason, but merely an ambiguous "MAKE IT LONGER" kind of decision. Think about it, every decision Bungie makes has been either to make the most efficient way of doing things less efficient, or they've made changes to appeal to PVP. (HC Range, Shotgun DPS, size and number of orbs, Field Scout changed from mag to reserves, white nail nerf, ammo nerf for special and heavy, armor that allowed for higher reserves of two gun categories, ice breaker ammo reload speed, ghally dps, total time for storm trance, and more). The truth of it is simple, I am cancelling my pre-order not out of anger, but out of clarity for finally admitting that Bungie has a frivolous pursuit of perfect balance when in reality, a perfect balance in a space magic shooter is just plain no fun. While Bungie looks for balance, I look for games where I can [quote]actually[/quote] become legend and not just see those words on some album art or trailer. I'm all about a company making money, but I believe that Bungie can make obscene amounts of money if their vision shifted from the elusive balance between PVP and PVE to a vision of [b]fun[/b] first, balance later. AND... if I'm wrong, and for some reason Bungie decided to release a beta where it takes at least 10 min. to get a super sitting around in PVE without killing ads because they knew that they'd release armor that decreased the cool down, then why wouldn't they communicate that? Because I don't believe they see the balance as bad, they see it as one more obstacle to completing an activity faster. Sigh, when is Anthem coming out?
