Rumor has it next major Destiny release will have PvP areas on PvE patrol zones.
IMO...Worst idea ever, this game is about saving the universe, and fighting gods, I don't want to be trying to do a quest, mission, or public event while i'm getting sniped by a troll with Queensbreaker.
Edit: The rumor came from Reddit (Sorry, don't have a link) from someone called AnontheNine (probably spelled that wrong) but he made several predictions before Forsaken and all came true....
Edit #2: One Guardian pointed out it could be used for Faction Rallies, which actually doesn't sound too bad.

I'm all for it, if they do it like grand theft auto and you can turn it off. Destiny ins't the destiny I thought it was going to be. It's a shit show, cluster -blam!-. Its fun.. but what is it? We are playing with orbs constantly. Any of you think we'd play with this many orbs? for reals! Something needs to happen to the game to make it POP to a larger crowd that stick with it.

I always liked going in to the Dark Zone in The Division solo and laying low to get my weeklys done. I don't want that in Destiny. I will be playing The Division 2. I think Bungie should try and bolster Crucible with more robust features rather than throw a third PvP (and 2nd PvEvP) mode. If it does happen, it will just be another mode I wont really play.
-
Oh yes, there would be griefing.
-
I think it could work on specifically designated areas so all players know what they are getting into. I do think random PvP in patrol areas would be quite annoying though.
-
I'm sure they aren't forcing anyone into patrol pvp. It will be by choice.

D3 is so far away, that even if every rumor we've heard came straight from the horse's (Bungie's) mouth, it would still wouldn't be concrete. Especially with last week's news about them splitting from Activision. Remember, they've scrapped most of what they had and redid most of the production a year before release on both D1 and D2. To address the idea of PvP in PvE, i think it would only work if it isn't all PvE zones. I only played a bit of the beta of the Division, so I don't know how it turned out, but they have a PvEvP zone in it. Basically it was another patrol area, but the other players could kill each other and steal their stuff. I think that format would be fine (minus the loot stealing), as long as they could justify it with the story/lore. Right now, the Crucible is for training (and the only game that has a legitimate reason for your character to respawn in a multiplayer match). And while Gambit's purpose is well known, there is definitely a story behind it.

It’s supposed to be something similar to the dark zone from the division. Honestly it would be interesting, I would expect them to not make it required though but it’ll help with any leveling process or quests.

Bring the wilderness to Destiny.
-
Well if your now a Dark Guardian... It makes sense. It could also be a Toggle on off type thing.
-
It could be like 76 where you opt in to pvp
-
The only way I’d be ok with this sort of thing being implemented was if the story revolves around bad guardians who now use the darkness fighting good guardians who use light, and even then, only in certain areas of maps etc. Otherwise outside of crucible, it wouldn’t make sense at all. But hey, if there were two full wildly different campaigns to play through, one light and one dark, I’d happily have characters for both.
-
Agreed.
-
Then don't go to these areas and run home to mommy and tell her how the big mean players keep hurting you.
-
It really depends on how they implement it, If it worked similarly to the Dark Zone on The Division I honestly wouldn’t mind it. It’ll be a lot more balanced then that was and the level/gear difference wouldn’t be nearly as bad
-
They tried this BS in Star Wars Galaxies when Jump to Lightspeed was first released. It lasted like 2 days before they lost almost the entire player base. The CU lost another 50% of what was left. The NGE lost 99.9999% of what was left after that. How's "Sony Online Entertainment" and "John Smedley" doing these days????
-
If it was a selectable area specifically then I dont mind. But to me that would a waste of resources unless it was simply a beta to see what people think. I just cant imagine what the intent would be though. Why would you even load in? What would be the benefit?
-
That would be sick. I've always wanted that. It should just be limited to one zone that isn't necessary to be in for anything else.
-
As long as they have a way to choose if you want to be in a pvp mode or not, I think it would be fine. I think the huge patrol areas would be fun to play PvP in. It would only be a problem if you could no longer play PvE only patrol, which I doubt would happen.
-
I don't know man, I'm really skeptical about the whole issue. Destiny 2 has problems running it's user interface still. I can't imagine that they'll be able to have a game that will run smoothly enough to incorporate a huge PVP on PVE world.
-
It would be better as a game mode instead of an “as is” type deal. Having multiple objectives on a map, a goal to work toward, multiple teams, that would make it pretty interesting to have such large scale warfare with multiple people. It would stink if it wasn’t a game mode though, and just straight up patrol.

Welcome to [b]Grand Theft Nerf Destiny[/b]

Where do you get this information?
-
They also said it would be an optional zone that you can load into with the options screen
-
[quote]Rumor[/quote]Is it really worth making a forum post then?
-
Come on Anthem!!!
-
I think it would be a great ideal for them to do that.
