Ban all 3rd party input devices and it will be a huge step in the right direction.

BECAUSE THEY KEEP CATERING TO THE TRASH PLAYERS AND THE SKILL GAP GETS SMALLER. They cant balance crap. I am a 1.5 in Comp getting slapped stuck in adept playing people ascendant who are cheating and 2.0+. They suck at balancing teams and I am glad more and more people are quitting this game. I hope its a sign that they realize they suck at PvP and that Marathon will FLOP hard.

We should all start a class action lawsuit because we all paid good money for this game over the years and Bungie has not kept up on their end by providing an exciting, playable, matchmaking experience. Their poor decisions have led to the decay and decline of PvP and we should be compensated for it.

They need to vault sbmm problem solved. Seriously summer 2018 was the best time in destiny and some game modes like breakthrough and normal supremacy was the best to play for me reminded me of old school halo. But as usual 0.5 kd Jim’s act like they play against sweats like me for their 3 games for a prime engram. So bungie adds sbmm to protect Jim’s for 3 games while someone like me who lives in crucible has to suffer with sbmm.

[quote]I dont know how much longer this is going to go on,but bungie needs to get on it,the unbalance match making is getting out of hand,it takes the fun out of playing,either you stomp or you get stomped,no close matched,always someone quits,which makes the match even worse,I get it,you quit out of frustration,but it is cause Bungie cant get a defent match going. As far as i am concerned i am done playing pvp,unplayable,lag,full teams or 3 stacks against solos,just ridiculous the state of pvp. People paid money to play a decent game,not this garbage[/quote] I get it I quit playing for a while. The real question is why does all PvP games suck so bad these days? Look at Concord ps5 garbage, Splitgate 2 looks like a reskin of all games done already, you can get even more frustrated at Overwatch 2 versus D2, Xdefiant is bad, Predecessor is league of legends tilt all over again, Warlander is no lifers and bots I simply consider it pve lol, Splitgate 1 was the only gem but now just bots and people getting ready for Splitgate 2 but why hardly no portals. The point being is they all suck in 2024 so play a variety so if one pisses you off just switch to another. I’ll definitely pass on any multiplayer Bungie produces that is a certain.

I don't seem to have the same experience as everyone on the forums says they have. Played a couple of games last night and really enjoyed them. They were close games too. For me, a below average player, the matchmaking works very well

Prismatic hunters everywhere

Always has And always will No surprise No matter how badly bungie gives new loot to go for Whether it’s trials comp iron banner or even just regular It won’t do it for me I want 12v12 combined arms I want canyon maps and environment maps too Give these maps some real big competition in range

People paid money to play a decent game,not this garbage[/quote] Honestly, I don't even think it's the match making. I think it's bungie absolutely favoring certain metas. Pulse shotgun, hand cannon shotgun. Autos are fine in open maps but otherwise suck. Snipers can't counter anything and everything counters a sniper. Fusions are meh (they can stay that way) shotguns outshine a side arm majority of the time. And side arms outshine smgs majority of the time as well. Comp and trials introducing control elements destroyed any sniper play style along with the fact a sniper gets flinched the same whether 10 meters away or 70 meters. The meta right now is very diverse in the sense that ttks are pretty much Balanced (a few outliers) but the map design and game modes available push players to use the same loadouts, and heavily punish players who don't. Leading to lopsided matches. In a game that's "play your way" pvp very much isn't and if you enjoy messing around with different weapons this meta in particular will leave u miserable. And since alot of average to low skill players don't enjoy sitting in the back with a pulse and don't have the skills to use a HC, they get farmed and leave.

Just need to nerf ability damage, ability health (like ice turret), and ability duration/dimishing return (slows freezes burns blinds etc) by 50% and the game is in a good state. Abilities should feel impactful but not game breaking. Even at 50% power they still will feel impactful but not cheese/debilitating.

The state of Crucible? well if its got a lot of guns its probably in Texas, big guns, big trucks to compensate for small things, big egos, and big women.

Crucible is F2P.
