Checkmate Control | TTK's are way too high!
You fixed the ability spam and special spam which most of us like. We like the gun play and movement. We don't like fighting a raid boss that can't be killed in 3 to the head like normally. You can't take ability spam away and increase ttk. The whole reason people spammed abilites was because they were invicinible now you're back to square one. Can you please play your own game or just pass it off to a company the will actully have enough ambition to listen to the changes the "COMMUNTY" want.
Last I checked video games aren't about the developers they're about the communty!

They 1) increased guardian health and 2) nerfed precision/body shot damage of most weapons. For some reason the problem children of the sandbox (hand cannons, bows, smg’s and shotguns) are totally unaffected by ttk changes.

2 RepliesLet's talk about the real problem at hand. Relic is a terrible game mode and should be abolished from the game lol

2 RepliesBut you yourself are also a 'raid boss'. Why aren't you taking advantage?

1 ReplyEdited by stinkych33Ze: 12/4/2023 7:44:31 PMImo, the weapon balancing is fine in Checkmate. SMGs are still broken in every Crucible setting, and they need to be fixed, but at least I’m seeing less Fusion apes and Scout idiots. This is where I think TTKs should be at: Fastest TTK (0.8s TTK, bc I think anything below that is just absurd)- 140 HCs, Sidearms Mid TTK (1.0s TTK) - 120 HCs, Pulses, Autos, SMGs, Trace Rifles Slow TTK (Above 1.0s TTK) - Scouts, Bows And I think Checkmate does a good job on that. Autos, SMGs, and Bows still feel a little strong, but at least it’s manageable. I think the ability regen penalty is very harsh and 100% needs to be toned down. I wouldn’t mind if abilities took 20% longer to regen or whatever, because at its core, Destiny is a space magic game, and Checkmate kinda kills that. For abilities to literally take twice or even 3 times as long to recharge, is absurd imo. In addition to that, I think special should be more available, and my opinion is to make special just go directly to your inventory on [u]Primary kills only.[/u] Meaning no special drops in the environment. This would solve the dilemma of people being able to shotty ape endlessly or just spawn with a thousand special bricks sitting in front of them despite doing nothing to earn them. This would also encourage using Snipers, because you can get kills at range and not be forced to move into the enemy team.

I think if maybe TTK was about the same but less forgiving, needing more crits, that'd place checkmate in a good spot. I could be wrong though, I'm not an expert.

1 ReplyFor me, personally, I see nothing wrong with the time-to-kill; it feels normal to me. Maybe stop getting shot as much by other players or have a better build, idk.
-
1 ReplyThis is the same as vanilla D2, and again they chose to do both increase TTK and reduce abilities. If they only did one it would be fine, leave TTK and reduce abilities but 7 years later I can’t believe they did both again lol.
-
1 ReplyWell that makes sense. Didn’t realise they increased ttk as well. Thats just silly.
-
They almost had a good mode. Almost.
-
1 ReplyJust use a hand cannon and a scout rifle.
-
1 ReplyI agree. Three melees should have never come back. I love checkmate, but I can’t stand the TTK changes. Ability spam being gone feels great, and being forced to earn special but keeping it after dying is a W change. Normal TTK values with the mechanics of checkmate and removal of heavy in 3v3 would be damn near perfect imo.

6 RepliesI enjoy my handcannons but HAVING to use them and nothing else is seriously boring. 340 pulses can’t even 2 burst on full headshots… Checkmate is horrible
-
1 ReplyWe??? Glad you feel youre the person who is representing the players??? Wow, self entitle much??? Areogance smells through the electrons bro and the mode is pure trash and goes against everything the game has been for a decade.
-
2 RepliesPosts like this make me so glad that crucible is a sideshow that doesn't get taken seriously. For [i]years[/i] you mfs tried to make crucible COD with add-ons. Thankfully, y'all still failed.
-
1 ReplyMost of us like special spam???? Way off the mark there buddy.

5 RepliesWhile it may have some imperfection the gamemode is pretty fair and seeing how people are complaining about "having" to teamshot to win gunfights lets me know that yall are half of yall are dogshit at the game and are too comfortable with spamming abilities. Prob the teammates who lose a 1v2 against a guy. Its alright to admit you are bad at the game. I am too.

10 RepliesIt’s not cod kid, if you want fast ttk play mw3. The ttk is perfect. Lower ttk = low skill
-
Yeah i realized that playing myself and went why are half these weapons so terrible now I do not remember that being the case.. also you think they can listen? They either don't or when they do they're restricted on what theyre allowed to do by higher ups.. you know what would help? If people stopped playing for longer than 2 seconds. They higher ups don't care about anything if 40-60k+ people are active daily even if they are missing their marks on sales majorly to which people are just going with instead of pushing back. Insane stupidity by the community honestly..
-
Since normal control was taken from me, I tried playing it a few days back. I couldn't quite figure out what weapons to use. Every weapon I decided to use did not work out so well for me. Of course, being rusty was also a pretty big contributor to doing poorly, but it was annoying as hell.
-
18 RepliesCheckmate Control is a terrific return to FPS for Destiny. It encourages multiple loadouts and playstyles.

1 ReplyIs there anyone who doesn’t crouch all game actually like checkmate?? Think op is getting confused on what makes destiny good

4 RepliesEdited by A_mo: 12/4/2023 2:44:25 PMCheckmate control has a weapons meta much like more weapons focused games do. It's most likely done in the interest of balance and if they put all the weapons in either people will start to fall off or the balancing machine will suck the life out of it That's going to be a mode that either takes someone who knows what they're doing to keep running it or it could possibly become another caricature of pvp players mode. Brought to us by titans and their supporters. Most top tier and probably half of middle tier players wouldn't mind what it would descend ino if the weapons had their real ttk's. But that's also what quickplay is supposed to be for. Checkmate should probably stay a little more respectful. Fro now. The abilities can be bad in this game and they probably will always at least be pushing the envelope a bit. (Or blowing through it like titans) But they just aren't as bad when all the weapons work like they're designed to. That just does not happen for very many people in sbmm and it's actually what quickplay is supposed to be for. It's not supposed to be where people are going to abuse like some people list on their get stuff lists of abuses.

Rename it Chickenmate

4 RepliesI just want my scouts to 3 tap again......

Raid boss = 4 shots with a 140 hand cannon. 😂

Just use a controller, it will give you better TTK!
