Destiny is NOT CoD: We Don't Want Our Abilities To Be "Rare"

This isn't CoD. This is Destiny. [b]Using space magic is what defines Destiny and what sets it apart from other games.[/b] Putting PvE and PvP together does not work. You cannot reconcile the two - they have completely different needs and skill requirements. Placating to one hurts the other when they are tied to the same sandbox. You'd think after 3 years of repeated failure to balance the two together that you'd have learned this lesson by now.... [b]The Bungie Update mentioned ability "tweaks", but it ALSO mentioned the fact that abilities like our grenades and melees should be "rare". [/b]This is clearly a PvP decision due to the excessive whining about grenade and melee deaths. This decision is made at the expense of PvE, which is the actual game. [b]Destiny isn't about guns - it's about Nova Bombs, Golden Guns, Tripmines, Axion Bolts, and Fists that frequently induce Havoc.[/b]

      I remember when primaries were strong enough to coexist with frequent and strong abilities and supers. Good times man. God forbid we go back to those times. Instead we get two mediocre primary slots. :))))) Go back to the HoW era. Buff AR's. All problems solved basically. We could've been able to use fun abilities often and have strong weapons to combat as well. Too bad people can't seem to handle that. It was in such a good place back then. Not too fast like CoD, but not too slow like Halo. It was a damn near perfect in between. To those that keep wanting to dumb down this game, for the love of god, go play CS:GO where it's completely based off of weapon kills. It's making PvP slow and boring, it's making PvE suffer greatly. I didn't think Destiny could go through even more nerfs until I saw what was happening with the sequel and played the beta. It's like the Taken King sandbox patch all over again. Damn near destroying everything that's worth a damn. If it wasn't for primaries getting demolished for 3 years straight, people would've never felt the need to rely on their abilities. Seems like most people fail at comprehending this.

      • You are right. I didnt read the comments but im guessing there are plenty of people bitching at you. The same people who love pvp. The same people who caused this disaster in the first place. Thanks guys hope your sweet trials loot was worth it

          But Cod costs less to make and makes more money so we are heading in that direction whether you like it or not. Yours sincerely Activision

            • I enjoyed the Beta and was hopeful the charge rate would go unchanged, it should be something that you have to plan for, not something you hide..... go take a leak and come back to a fully charged super. I was happy to see grenades got a boost in power and have no issue with a slower recharge as well.

            • I had a thread about this issue.. Yes I used the word shit quite a lot and my assessment was pretty damming.. I was banned for 1 week to the exact minute. Am back now and I will toe the line. Bungie doesn't do critics well. PS... 2 -blam!-ing primary weapons and slow recharge on abilities is retarded and shite

              After year one i stoped liking destiny as much, they got rid of alot of what made destiny feel unique. I know, many people disliked destiny in year 1, but it had something there, that sense of wonder, mystery, awe. But since TTK it's disappeared entirely, everything feels dumb'd down, that awe and wonder is gone. It's hard to explain but essentially destiny is no longer destiny, it's become generic, casual.

                All they need to do is rename "Warlock" to something else, and Destiny can totally be all about guns (not that some of us want that, being that other titles handle the whole guns, guns, guns thing well enough). That class title feels a bit out of place in the new direction, though. (though, as a few people have mentioned, we aren't factoring in armor perks in the long run and how they'll impact cool down)

                  • Well, for the record. In D1 with equipment we could reduce what was already a low 25 second cool down even further. In some cases as low as 6 seconds with the right person on some sub classes. So I am sure with the right equipment, well be able to tear down the long CDs of certain abilities as we find a play style we like.

                    • This was and is my complaint ever since the first nerf. I think we can all agree that PVP was unbalanced in Destiny 1 at least for the first two years. As a result we kept on losing awesome weapons and abilities that were extremely fun to use in PVE. The entire reason I started playing this game more than any other game in my entire life is because of the Space Magic and how it wasn't like Call of Duty and other shooters. I think it is obvious that Bungie wants Destiny to be become more relevant in the world competitive play market. Bungie is hurting what made this game special in the first place. Proof Bungie cares more about balancing PVP then creating a fun PVE experience -THEY TOOK OUT TITAN SKATING! I guarantee that 99%of the people who play this game that play on the Titan are absolutely pissed that skating is gone in PVE. Please Bungie stop hurting the PVE experience otherwise this becomes Call of Duty and people move on to Anthem

                      • Destiny 2 is going to feel so much better than Destiny 1. Granted if you saw me play the Beta and watched me do PvP, you would say i suck. If you watched me play PvP in Destiny 1, you would say i suck. But you know what? I mainly try to have fun but when other people s××× on my fun, and Im looking at you Trials of Osiris Tryhards and jerks, thats when i get angry. Recently i went against a guy in Trials who used literally nothing but Sticky Grenades and he tbagged like he was a god. So natrually in my rage i called him out on his bs. In Destiny 2, i dont have to worry about Grenades killing me super fast anymore. In all honesty, im more terriffied of the Nightshae Pulse Rifle and Scathelocke Auto Rifle now. Plus a sustained Fist of Havoc is just as terrifying as a electric pole dancer and a Golden Penis with 6 SHOTS but hey. Ill come to terms with them eventually. To everyone who played the Destiny 2 Beta and actually found it fun, you guys are the real mvp because you guys are probably people who played the Destiny 1 Beta and had to put up with the nerfing bs. To everyone who says Destiny 2 sucks and is going to suck: grow a pair of f×××ing balls, play the game for what Bungie envisions it and quit complaining. Yours sincerely, UltimateEvil908.

                            This isn't CoD...or Battlefield. In those games, 6 bullets are a kill, not something a player laughs at before activating their Super to "win" a firefight.
