Crucible has become almost unplayable
Im not one to complain and Ill be the first to admit im not the best crucible player. However its become almost unplayable now.
All it consists of now is getting 2 shotted by Thorn, One shoted with a Shotgun with outrageous range or getting Supered. Gun battles no longer exist. Even though I was never the best crucible player I enjoyed playing it and having those gun fights. Its sad to see what the crucible has evolved into.
Edit 1: Its funny to read so many people defending Thorn acting as if its balanced. when they're clearly using it in pvp because they know for a fact it gives them a huge advantage. Shotguns are an issue partly because almost all the maps are such cqc maps that saying keep your distance is a thoughtless comment. Especially when it comes to having to be in an tight space capturing a flag. Congrats to those who have used no brain power at all when posting comments like saying keep your distance. Hard to do when someone can run right up to you while your emptying your clip into them and 1 shot you with a shotgun.
Edit 2: Just rolled a Gjallarhorn from a purple engram I got after the Weekly Heroic. Haters gonna Hate.

15 RepliesYou suck at pvp. Therefore opinion is biased. Get good or stop playing.

I do agree that crucible is pretty terrible and that thorn is broken (which is why I use it, mind you). However, as a fellow not very good at crucible guardian, I also agree with the "get good" posts. I get outgunned all the time by non thorn users and the only explanation I can come up with its that they're simply better than me. It gives me motivation to "git gud".

Crucible has always been definitely unplayable, if you have even a modicum of experience (and desire to continue) playing multiplayer FPS.

6 RepliesThats weird ive been enjoying crucible more and more. I hated it with a passion but i use this awsome pulse rifle and it helps me out. Its on my hunter if you wanna see it.

You don't like shotguns? Combined arms and skyshock can fix that

Eh, I wouldn't say it's unplayable. It's frustrating, that's certain. Unplayable would be everyone and they momma using the thorn. Which not everyone uses, you just have to put a little more effort into your gameplay/ style.

3 RepliesThe crucible is a mess with the qeapon balancing because of knock on affects of other aspects of mechanics design. Shotguns are ok as they are. The range is perfect for a cqc weapon. However, the problem that comes with this are based on; 1. Map design The maps are small. They were designed for cover to cover combat. They have a hell of a lot of cover for someone to easily move up on people. This makes fetting into ohk range surprisingly easy with little chance of the opponent getting away. 2. Movement mechanics The varied types of movement allowed in this game to get into cqc is astounding. What makes it even worse is that it requires almost no skill to use them. Blink. Slide. Shoulder charge. Overshield. Stealth. Creeping. Apart from blink there are no escape mechanics to counter these. This leaves the only option to effectively counter is to shotgun. FR has been nerfed to hell and are worthless in game now. The charge tome would not be enough to counter a ohk weapon. It literally is shotgun or be shotgunned. Supers are ok as they are. Heavies are also fine as they are. These 2 are team dependent and less to do with mechanics.

The only thing that's unplayable to me is the laggy servers. I have a 30mbps download, 6mbps upload, and a 40ms ping and I'm in red bar more often than not when I play pvp. Rumble is the worst, always in red bar when I play rumble.

6 RepliesThorn is the worst! Thats the only thing that bothers me and lag. Thorn is too strong. 2 hits anywhere and you dead. Its annoying
-
I don't know what's going on crucible of these days. I don't know if it's the nerf of my favorite guns or what. It's just madness in there. I went from being the best player on the team to the worst. You can't even concentrate anymore people have no strategy. It's madness.
-
I completely agree with the cqc maps and shotgun thing, but what I think would kind of help with that situation is that special ammo should start spawning a lot less rapidly. That way you have to depend on your primary a lot more and switch to your special weapon only for a special situation
-
I still enjoy it. currently can't put the bad juju down. And a rare shotgun gun with shot package in hand loadded on my warlock

1 ReplyI got a good solution for you if you don't like the weapon balance in destiny. Just Play Call of duty
-
Everyone is over powered. Supers, weapons, forum tears. That's the crucible. Nothing new.
-
I like to use my No Land Beyond and headshot people. I've gotten 4 hate messages by now 😂
-
It is unbalanced I do miss the gun fights. I think that instituting custom matches would solve all of these problems. Then we could have primary only or pulse rifle only etc playlists
-
Then use shotguns.

Nlb 1 hs, op

I've said it once and i'll say it again. if you don't like it, STOP PLAYING. it's like bitching about a restaurant that you hate for whatever reason but you keep going back. pretty stupid if you ask me.
-
Fire fights can only happen with ARS and Pulse rifles
-
Don't play crucible, don't care.

Edited by Harkiel: 3/10/2015 3:26:05 PMThe largest problem is Map Design. Because Bungie absolutely had to keep player count at a minimum all you get are arena designed matches. It sucks but Activision loves it. I've called Destiny a genetically inbred offspring of CoD and Halo. It gets nothing correct from either series in terms of purpose and still retains the feeling of playing like shit.
-
Thorn is 3 hits or 2 head shots. But yes it is a shotgun fest filled with my hide and seek 42 that owns felwinters!!!
-
Honestly, they just need to make it so heavy ammo boxes only drop once. ( only one box drops ) and special ammo is harder to obtain.
-
I'm guilty of shotgunning constantly, but only because they reduced range on my lastword.
