ok I have my report from yesterday (9 games I took notes each one): I'm giving the system points (+/- [1-3] based on match quality [my opinion of course] but there is an outlier) > points are in brackets ------------------- [-2] --- 1(W): Wormhaven 132-50 >> no balance mercy.. but ok for a warmup (probably not for the other team).. [spoiler][i]I don't mind the map at all but seems to mercy a lot. Tested a nice Trust here along with a Senuna that I was going to dismantle but changed barrel/mag next game and it began doing its job (thats just fun for me as a weapons tester guardian)[/i][/spoiler] [+3] --- 2(L): Twilight Gap 136-142 >> close even though someone left my team) [-6] --- 3(L): Widow's Court 123-50 mercy >> this is an outlier of badness that I hope Bungie can look at. Details >> problem already at loading screen -- loaded the 8 guardians.. went quickly to 12.. started loading... then back to 8 guardians... did this loop for a while and I exited... started control again... join in progress at something like 41-7... a 3 stack mopping the floor... not giving a F on competition.. Horrible bad out of band experience that then stays with you and thats why it gets a -6. There were multiple matches like this on Tuesday/Wednesday.. thankfully not today. [+1] --- 4(W): Pacifica 153-117 >> a lil bit wide but acceptable -- so much better than the last match.. [spoiler]Bottom Dollar was on... yes it still can play even with Mos Athanor god rolls dropping like rain[/spoiler] [+1] --- 5(L): Disjunction 151-110 >> actually ok [spoiler]I'll admit my bad trying out a weak bow for too long I had (Pre-Asty) before switching to Staccato. Now I dismantled both eventually but I think Staccato is excellent - the sights light up the enemy and its pretty stable... I have several so have better rolls.[/spoiler] [+3] --- 6(W): Rusted Lands 150-138 >> good [spoiler]different bottom dollar also good[/spoiler] [+3] --- 7(L): Vostok 150-133 >> tough match but good [-3] --- 8(L): Citadel 150-110 >> unbalanced.. I knew there was a problem player here because I had marked them by blocking before (puts a little mark on them when viewing roster)... they trounced the match invis hunter.. 10kd only because I got them with a battle scar.. otherwise would have been 15 kd [+1] --- 9(W): Midtown 150-146 close >> only a +1 because I did not enjoy the match but I recognize its partly me... partly that I didn't leave the last lobby after end of game.. partly a new player lagging or network manipulating around ---------- Overall thats a positive 1 to quality.. which is much better than previous 2 days.. so >> maybe balancing is getting balanced. 🙂 ..adding to that I had intended to stay for only 4-5 but it was enjoyable enough to extend that to 9... performance also very affected as I was forcing the testing of Fimbulwinter's in my vault... this gun needs the help of a trait that is not Dawning specific Bungie > applying this retroactively would be cool enjoy Friday!! 🤙😎🤙

[quote]since the update yesterday matches are so bad in Control... ...they do this every season.. it feels like they throw out all the balancing data and build from scratch at the first update... big thumbs down from someone who was enjoying the game Bungie. 👎[/quote] Balance has never been present it will never be present until the woke ideology of equity is flushed from this game

The lag has been ridiculous lately. Nothing you can do but try to play through it.

Outlier protection is too punishing

It's always been like this. I can't think of another game where I have a kda of 2-3 and a win rate of 17%. And yet, that has been the case as long as I have played d2

Visual glitches are still there in pve as well, like a sticky mozzarella clothing type of thing

Never was there

I had forgotten how to play normal pvp after 3 weeks of the dawning. Died much more often than usual. I also found it difficult to get matches. Even normal control had couple of times I timed out before joining. People also drop out often. Had a match with 12 people at the start after a long wait. Two people in the opposing team were from a clan everyone else were solo. The clan players coordinated well and took an early lead by controlling 2 zones. People started dropping out from my team. In 3 minutes I was the only one left. I spawn, sit down and wait for the opposite team to kill me. People joined the match saw it was 6 vs 1 currently and bailed out. I finished on the top with 2 kills, 2 zone caps, 3 newly joined players with no score and a B grade. Other matches were not so lopsided. I usually manage to get to being the player with the second lowest score. I do this twice every day to get the required 2 B grades in activities. Everything else with guaranteed B is Ultimate difficulty and with Reclaim not in rotation, are too much of a slog.

Seems the same to me tbh

It’s exactly the same
