Destiny PvP is the WORST online experience I’ve ever had!!!

DESTINY PVP IS AN OVERLY INCONSISTENT ONLINE GAMING EXPERIENCE THAT JUST SIMPLY DOESNT WORK!!!! Are there fun games every once in awhile, sure! It is however, very seldom. But mostly, the problem is that you can’t count on it working. You can’t rely on your weapons because the connections vary so much from game to game, that what works one game doesn’t work the next. This gives you no confidence is what you are using. This is also why most people use more forgiving, low skill weapons. You don’t have to aim with Colony or Wardcliff Coil. For everyone thinking Get Gud... you can’t in this game!! No amount of practice will make you any better than you are very early on. You can play all the games you want, no amount of skill will protect you from getting shot through walls, or opponents that don’t take damage, or the ENDLESS string of supers that will kill you on spawn one after the other. It’s not a question that the game can’t be fun, because it can. I play private matches all the time and we have a blast!! But once you match make, the game falls apart. It’s a 50/50 coin toss as to what side of the connection roulette wheel that you land on. If you say “I don’t have any of these issues, I love this game...”, I hate to break it to you, but your connection is probably ruining everyone else’s experience. It’s so bad in fact, anyone that was average or less, is completely gone. This leaves “above average” as low man on the totem pole and are left to be slaughtered by the top 5%. For every 1 person that likes PvP, there are thousands and thousands that hate it. The problem is, I’m one that LIKES it!! But I simply don’t play it very often because it’s broken and doesn’t function properly. I play a couple games, and am so enraged at the end, I’m forced to turn it off to keep my sanity. Hell, there are even instructional video from streamers that tell people, for comp help, “Turn it off when you get too frustrated!!!” I don’t think there is any way to save it, but I’d love for BUNGIE to prove me wrong. Sadly this will be the first since D1 day 1 that I will be waiting for reviews before I pick up Shadowkeep. I’ve just lost all faith in this game and won’t be moving forward until it safe that the coast is clear.

  • What aspects of the Crucible do you find to be most inconsistent when playing? There are two things to keep in mind: • Crucible can be looked at as Connections, Game modes, and Maps • Sandbox can be looked at as Weapons and Ability balance There is some overlap, as poor connection can seemingly impact Sandbox elements - but please let me know what you find to occur most frequently. Thank you!

    • If anyone at Bungie is reading this, listen to your community. I have grown so damned tired of getting spawn camped, getting run by the super train, getting shot out of my super instantly, fully charged fusion rifle shots taking half a shield down, getting shot through walls. Here's a typical match: Get shotgunned Respawn, fire 20-30 marshmallows, get sniped from somewhere. God knows from where. Respawn. Supers are up! Get spectral-bladed Respawn Get titan slammed Respawn Get titan slammed again Respawn Oops, you're spawntrapped by someone with Mountaintop. Unlucky for you! DIE Repspawn Still trapped. DIE. Oh, hey, my super is up! Let's pop it! Pop it - get taken out of it by Breakneck (???) DIE. Rinse and repeat for ten minutes. In all seriousness, I would rather get white gloved in a rectal exam then play this abortion of a multiplayer. And then to tie quests to Crucible...man, forget it. Who even has the time or energy. Many of us have families and jobs. We simply do not have the time to sit around and grind this crap out. But then hey, there's a shiny new weapon and you want to give it a try I will add some thoughts about Gambit. The idea that the invader can come into the other side WITH an overshield is just patently absurd. That's the absolute dumbest thing I have ever heard. If you want to risk coming into the other side, fine, but you don't get a shield buff. Are you kidding? OR, turn off the invader spam. If an invader comes in and stays the entire 30 seconds, it's about 10 seconds before the next invader comes. It's -blam!-. It so DEMORALIZING to get your Primevil down to low heath and then have all that work instantly erased in a heartbeat by some with an overshield and super and basically invincible. I'm at the point I just don't care anymore. And then to add insult to injury, not including the Eris Monn pre-order stuff to the standard expansion. Most everyone ALREADY has everything up to Shadowkeep, but you punish your existing player-base by offering exclusives ONLY to people who buy the whole game? BULLSHIT.

      • Well, I’ll say this, and the hater can throw a tantrum all they like, but in Crucible currently , majority of people are afraid of a gun fight.

        • I honestly think PvP needs to be dropped harder than a sack of spuds. Made into a side activity with absolutely no purpose for the game other than just being there for players to kill each other with unbalanced gear for funsies when not doing the PvE content, something that Bungie are better at. If you are going to defend PvP, remember that D2 was made to try and get Destiny into the eSport market with 4v4 teams, maps and game modes and, well, you all know how that went. Destiny 3 needs to go in the complete opposite direction and became a PvE-oriented game, like a true Action MMO, which will immediately squish all (if not most) of the problems we currently have with the PvE portion.

          • I have some proposals for PvP Comp mode: 1. Dedicated servers; 2. Anti-cheat bot, anti-carry and anti-recovery actions (aka no more carry/recovery services and the good old ban hammer); 3. Only specific weapons to be used each week in competitive (everybody should have access to them - then the real skill will shine); 4. No more weapon rewards ("rich to get richer" is the best way to alienate people) - cosmetics should be good enough for every good player;

                  Crucible is a complete joke. It does not require any skill with a gun. Get the power ammo, launch grenades. I can get shot out of my super by practically any weapon, yet I can unload full magazines at a super and I may has well shoot marshmallows. It's actually worse than COD. I did not know that was even possible.

                • The matchmaking is a complete joke. I'm not even a good player (1.68 efficiency/1.2 k/d), and yet my team always consists of players that have just started the game, don't have the slightest hint of an ability to aim, while the enemy team is RANDOMLY 4 solo players with NF. Just ridiculous

                    PVP in this game is dead. You can't get 2 good match under 10 match. LFG group is dead can't find a full team comp under 2 hour. But those -blam!- who is find you to "help" you are asking money to reach higher rank. Which is sad becouse i dont wanna pay 23 euro to fabled or 200 dollar to get legend rank. Its players made this Destiny pvp into [b]pay to win[/b] which is very sad and developers doing nothing about it. Its -blam!-ing fustrating. I dont even see the point of buying the next part of the game.

                      Honestly comp is my biggest gripe. I've never felt more reluctant to play a pvp game. And usually they can be fun. But in destiny I see one YouTube video like cammy cakes talking about jotün and all of a sudden everyone and their grandma needs it. I hate metas it's really cheap. I still remember the stupid luna meta. That was by far the top reason I hated destiny for the longest time. And now that its nerfed recluse is creeping its ugly barrel into pvp. When I went into comp originally for luna every step was annoying but fair, reaching fabled though is a gamble. You're either stomped or stomping the enemy team. I went from heroic 1 back to guardian 3. How is this even okay? Dont say that this is how comp is supposed to be played. I play overwatch comp and it feels fair. This feels unbalanced and frustrating. It doesn't help bungie sees fabled as a way to shove in whatever op pve/pvp gun they come up with into that rank and have cheaters/youtubers get it day one and have the poor folks like us suffer for hours to days on end trying to solo que or deal with goldly players. Oh did I mention I was kicked THREE TIMES from comp because of destiny claiming I had no wifi? Yep! Lost progress from comp! And then i got a suspension. Thank you bungie. You really care about your community... I've never been more frustrated, I was so close to my recluse, my team promised to help only to never show up. So I checked lfg on xbox, literally flooding with pay carries or be good/I'll kick you posts. It's a miracle I actually got revoker within a week of grinding. Heres a suggestion bungie (fabled warriors will probably be mad) Give each pinnacle weapon from the previous seasons the redrix treatment. That way everyone can earn the guns and pvp will be less of a pain. You can rename the gun too and the people who earned the original guns like lunas gets the new version day one from packages. For example: lunas growl Quest steps: reach brave in valor Step 2: get 100 hand cannon kills Step 3: get 200 solar kills Step 4: play 25 matches of quickplay 25 matches of comp 25 matches of rumble Step 5: get 100 headshot kills Step 6: get 50 double kills, handcannon percision kills are worth more points Step 8: reset your valor 5 times within a season Step 9: talk to shaax to receive your lunas growl. This way everyone can get the guns they want, heck throw in an emblem or unique shaders/skins for lunas howl and recluse for the original guns. There was two youtubers I watched that explained how they feel about the pinnacle guns. I'll quote one while leaving the links here for you to hopefully watch. "The richer get richer while the poor get poorer" unfortunately i forgot which youtuber said it and oh how this is so true. People like me deal with solo que and rage quitters all the time after losses in comp. So maybe heres one last idea, implement a protection system/lock system. Once you reach a rank like brave you cannot go down ranks unless Its subranks. Other than that you are stuck in the ranks. Until next season. If you made it this far congrats. Heres the link to one of the videos I thought was Interesting [https://youtu.be/ULNbVjE7cyc ]

                      • I just for the life of me cannot, do not and will never understand this matchmaking system. Why oh why does a "balanced game" typically always involve teams stacked like this.. My Team: KD fodder with maybe 1-2 decent players Enemy team: 6 hyper unbroken meta tryhards high on Gfuel, Redbull and poptart dust. Even when there is no teams and it's 12 solo players, it still matches like this. Heck, when you play 3 hour of Iron Banner and over 30 matches end in you getting Mercy Ruled in 20 seconds... wtf?

                          Dedicated servers. If Bungie used dedicated servers, PvP experience would vastly improve. The sheer frustration of being matched with a random ping is only matched by my pea brain wanting to grind through virtual rewards I won't use. Yesterday, I was DOS'd three times in five matches of Gambit, leading to a warning of disconnections. That should never be allowed to happen.

                                Think about this last year with forethought and malice Bungie intentionally removed SBMM from the game. At the time they said oops sorry we made a mistake but at this time we are not going to fix it. They further went on to say that we will monitor it and let you know what we think. This was done because the crybaby sweat's were -blam!- and moaning about the lack of fish food to gorge on. So why bother complaining because after all Bungie does not give a flying F**K about the normal people playing the game. All they care about making sure that the spineless, gutless, yellow-bellied, blood sucking, back stabbing cowardly, pub-stomping elitists sociopaths are happy.

                              • What a cry baby. The crucible isn’t a perfect place, but I have fun even with non-meta weapons.
