The Multi-Million Dollar Question: PvE vs. PvP

PvE

8756

PvP

1220

Please just take a minute or less of your time to participate. What is more important to you in destiny? 50/50 there are no wrong answers here! [b]Update 11/13/14 3:20EST:[/b] Over 8,000 community members have taken part in this poll and here are the results so far! [u]PvE:[/u] 8428 [u]PvP:[/u] 1174 Personally I am a big fan of PvP, but like many others I bought this game for the 'epic' storytelling and co op PvE it was advertised for. Knowing Bungie I expected a lot more from PvP in this game and currently it's just not a go to for competitive multiplayer, but I hope to see improvement in the future. I understand that many people on these forums are PvE players but there seems to be overwhelming demand for new PvE content and I hope to see a weekly update detailing the future of PvE sometime soon so we can all grind happily knowing it will pay off. To those of you who wanted to know where the 'both' option was I intended this to be a black and white question with no neutral answer, that's why the question stated what's [b]most[/b] important. If you didn't vote that's okay 8,000 other people did. This was my first post on these forums and i am very satisfied with the response, as a community we all need to keep up the constructive feedback on our ends and help the devs create a masterpiece!

    destiny marketing team gets promoted, they lead and have no clue how a game should be made , follows what Activision wants in terms of multiplayer = less story

  • I'm not a PvP fan in this game and find it frustrating that every exotic bounty requires it, but I wouldn't eliminate it entirely since at least a portion of the community likes it. It's just not my preference.

  • I like to have pve as the main game, then you have pvp where you bring your aquired gear and experience and test it against other players. Thats how I like it to be, at this moment damage from all guns are generalised and that undermines the whole idea of pvp in a mmo.

  • Honestly. Who got into Destiny for the PvP? I started following development something like 5 years ago >.< I was legitimately bummed when I learned crucible was going to be a thing, and that wasn't until a few months before alpha.

    I don't get why people play THIS game if all they like is pve. This game has awful pve other than the raid and you can only do that twice a week. I would have to think even that gets boring after awhile. This missions are repetitive, and boring. There aren't many strikes, and they're all just kill fests with bosses that are bullet sponges. I just don't understand. I mean if you really only like pve why not go play warframe? It has piles of more content. Every frame is different with 4 unique abilities. There are a ton of different guns and melee weapons. There are in game clans with bases, in game codex like system, different mission types and finaly IN GAME CHAT! *gasp* Really the only thing this game has over warframe is the raid and real pvp. So if you're a pve player why is THIS your game?

        PVE. I'll play EVOLVE and Battlefront for PVP since... 1. You're a giant monster. 2. You're fighting on Hoth and space battles. Destiny though has a PVP end game structure underlining the reasoning you advance. I can't see it ever changing that dynamic.

        This poll is stupid. This is exactly like asking the following question. [b]Do you prefer for breakfast... [u]The bacon, eggs, toast, and pancakes:[/u][/b] 7000 [b][u]The milk:[/u][/b] 900 PvP is a small/(or large, whatever) niche in Destiny and THE REST of the game is PvE. So of course more people voted for the rest of the game lmao. Stop this stupid debate it's ALL DESTINY ffs.

        • PvE should have been much better and is frankly pathetic considering the way it was advertised (seriously feels like false advertisement) but i still like it better then the pvp. It was fun at first but now literally 1/2 the lobby plays running around with shotguns. Sure I can still do well by avoiding close quarters but I think it takes allot of the fun out of pvp not being able to go anywhere close quarters with anything but a shotgun or fusion rifle.

        • Still find it funny that with those kind of stats, everything is still balanced around pvp.

        • PVP should just be deleted for all I care. And this is coming from someone that has played almost every FPS shooter ever made. Most part is they force me to play it to complete bounties and nerf my favorite weapons to balance some shitty mode I could care less about.

        • There seems to be no skill in pvp. With duck walking shotguns, 20 foot fusion rifle range and supers every other minute people get sick of playing a game where you can shoot no bullets and go positive. And there's no high stakes with it, I love an awesome blue pulse rifle after wasting 15 minutes because 5 people quit after not getting first blood

          • I go for both, i like the competitive multiplayer that has been around in shooters but also enjoy story filled campaigns. Destiny is lacking on both ends to be brutally honest but it doesnt stop me from playing completely. PVP has so many server issues and the weapons need a bit of tweaking to balance, different weapons for different uses (overrun with auto rifles, shotguns, fusion rifles and now scout rifles since they've been buffed). I get how people hate that the weapons get nerfed...i dont think that changing the weapon damage was the correct way to balance them since it effects PVE so much....this CAN be changed by changing the damage values on the weapons against alien combatants (as bungie stated they were going to do with the mythoclast) So it does seem like it is possible for bungie to keep the weapon values different for PVE and PVP. The story is lacking and honestly could be more, however everyone is talking about how there is nothing left to do after 8+ days worth of game play. In my own reality and maybe others, Xenosaga took 120 hours to beat (of course with some of the longest cinematics ever), most FF games only took 60 hours to beat without getting everything and going balls crazy, legend of dragoon was maybe a 60-70 hour game and so forth. Heck I've had 100+ hours of skyrim play...most of it was just murdering towns :) but still fun, nothing like being a mage with dragon armor and unlimited destruction magic. YES those games did have great/epic stories attached but its hard to say the actual content is lacking when more hours have been put into Destiny, just an opinion. As far as Destiny campaign..more or less of what it is, should have put out a solid 20-30 hours of gameplay and cinematic. They wanted to be different but in the end they are like every other FPS out there. On a side note...anyone else thing South Park should have gotten game of the year?? i thought it was awsome. END thoughts.

            • PvE of course. This game is Destiny not Halo so I'd like to keep it at a Basic PvE game. God forbid it turns into another cheap repetitive Halo game.
