Here's the simple solution to competitive PvP balancing while maintaining huge variation through RNG loot and more complex skill and exotic builds in PvE. 1. Bring back the elements from D1 which were interesting and powerful. This includes more diverse skills trees whch allow for customizable builds, RNG Weapon rolls with perks that actually matter and adjust stats enough for weapons to differ significantly from each other, bring back armor stats including ability recharge rates. 2. Create one set of PvP-balanced perks for each weapon and piece of armor which is static. This would be the "top row" roll, so-called because the top row of perks on every piece of loot would be static, while rows 2 and 3 on each peice of gear would roll RNG from a wider and potential more powerful set of perks. 3. Create one or two static PvP-balanced skill builds selected from all skill nodes available. 4. Entry into a competitive PvP (Competitive PvP playlist, Trials, etc.) will require you to use only the pre-selected PvP balanced roll on your equipped weapons/armor, and one of the preselected skill builds equipped. You may only switch to gear/subclasses set to a pre-set build during competitive play. 5. Entry into PvE or Casual PvP playlists may utilize any custom skill build or RNG perks on your gear. This solution is a hybrid between D1 where everything was RNG and skill builds were too diverse to balance effectively, and D2 where they made everything static and balanced to the point that it lacks diversity and power. Through this system you have balance in competitive PvP which is the only place it really matters, and wide variation including more power in PvE or casual PvP where balance comes at the expense of variety and fun.

30fps no dedicated servers tess... no random rolls lies waiting & waiting for the game to be fixed. fix will be a YEAR after release. charging players premium for small lack luster dlc. raid is a glorified STRIKE... OVER IT. great games coming this year and d2 isn't one of them...

You’re welcome? For what, lol. For repeating something everyone has said since day 1 year 1 like it’s a new and super original idea? Trust me, it isn’t. And Bungie has flat out adamantly denied ever even considering this idea.

Assuming that all of the problems are due to pvp balancing is a mistake. In fact, the failed balancing effort has had its largest impact on pvp making the game un-fun to play. The same issues we feel in PvE are exacerbated in PvP. Bungie’s approach to balance was a continuous string of nerfs. Balance implies keep things constant and do minor adjustments to fine tune the gameplay. Had they started this in vanilla D1 and continued it we would be in great shape now. Instead what was done was nerf after overreaching nerf, which had unintended consequences, which lead to more nerfs. The result is a slow game in both pvp and PvE. The problems are the same. Separate them and you still have the same problems.

They need to do 2 things with regards to PvP. 1. Realise PvP isn't the most popular aspect of their game and stop pushing people towards it (example being The Dawning and the only thing happening in the event being a PvP mode ... stop that shit). You don't have an e-sport on your hands and your attempt to make it so only served to push more people away. 2. Completely separate it from the PvE. Give PvP it's own set of abilities and weapons that, when nerfed due to constant whining, don't screw up PvE. More player take part in the PvE side of things Bungie so every time you balance for the whine you screw over the last group of people still keeping your game semi relevant. You managed to completely murder auto rifles in the first game, don't do it again. I don't care what changes you make to PvP as long as it's only to PvP. Nothing worse than having sub classes, weapons and abilities completely ruined in PvE because of shit balancing acts that don't solve the actual issue of people being outplayed.

If EA doesn't screw up Anthem then it will most likely steal the bulk of the current Destiny community. However I have very little trust in any AAA developer or publisher at this point. Gaming has become nothing more than a Vegas slot machine disguised as a playable box-office movie. D3 would most likely not release until the next generation of consoles appear so Bungie has time to rebuild. If they were smart they'd go back and restore Halo to its former glory. It's a shame how they sunk that ship just to create an all new sinking ship. I dont think the Destiny community even wants a D3 at this point. This mmo-lite fps/rpg genre is no longer niche or proprietary and can easily be reproduced and perfected by another developer that's more in-touch with their community.

Incorrect. The idea that you go into the wild, get weapons to blow each other up with, then are inspired by weapons you do t have to go back into the wild; is a big part of Destiny. The answer is to stop worrying about PVP balance. Make it like D1, year one.

Destiny 3? Why would anyone buy that after the grotesque abomination that is D2?

I swear you people are stupid. Here we are in year 4 of the Destiny franchise and you guys still asking for something Bungie will and cannot do. Smh. You guys would try to save this game way more than the developers themselves would try to save it. This company has -blam!-ed up too many times to really get the attention of the players who had their backs. The game is disappointing and even much so as the lore of the game. The only thing Bungie gets right is the gunplay, the skybox and the cinematics.

Or let go of Halo. The real problem is that they are still enslaved to Halo’s MP legacy....and refuse to accept that it’s incompatible with the game they made in Destiny.

If they can't save D2 then D3 is already dead.

Destiny 3...... 😂😂😂😂😂😂
