Hey devs
Do you even play your own game? I can’t think of any developer that would play D2 PVP and think “Yes, this is a good and fun experience.” But here we are, around 3 months after this all started, and there hasn’t been so much as a mention of looking into the balance of weapons like Vigilance Wing or Graviton Lance. I’m not a game developer nor do I plan to be, but I know damn well that this experience is absolute shit. Please play your game for any amount of time outside test environments.

Watching game play is painful to me.....

Honestly i dont think they olay it at all, but most likely 1-2 hours a week

You know. You could just do a little research to answer your opening questions. If you listened or read any interviews, you'd know that they do play the game and they have particular thoughts on what is working, what isn't, and challenges they have when they want to make changes. You likely didn't actually want the answers. Instead just chose to rant about your struggles and how they are everyone else's problem. I'm sure you'll find people who agree with you and you'll feel fulfilled. Good for you.

I was doing doubles today and the enemy team switched to graviton lance and vw after getting whooped by my Uriel’s gift. It is crutch as hell. Rest assured. It won’t be the only powerful set of weapons in the crucible. They will eventually be not as good.
-
They dont have time to play it, theyre too busy screwing up various parts of the game.

4 Replies"Balance" i.e. make the guns crap. How about we buff other weapons instead of nerfing the few that are viable? Do you remember what happened in D1? People hated on ARs then they hated on pistols, then scout rifles... You can't really nerf a blink shotty and you really can't nerf a sniper rifle.... D2 is already pulse rifle wars, nerfing will just make the weapons unusable.

Edited by Freak: 7/24/2018 10:42:26 PMWith different weapons, Archetypes of Weapons, Classes, Subclasses,Supers and Future random Rolls. It will always be Unbalanced... Stop expecting the improbable! Either roll with ever changing flow of Meta updates or don’t. Destiny is cyclical. Always has been. If you truly want “balance” then go play a game with one character and a locked set of guns where everyone is the exact same. Where everyone is 100% Equal in terms of characters and Weapons. See how long it takes you to get extremely bored of that.... YawnFest!!! Edit: Let’s hypothesize that Bungie creates a Crucible GameType where The Daily Reset made you play a certain Class and Subclass with a SET loadout. [b] A Curated Crucible Mode[/b] I can almost guarantee you that some of the people that b!tch and complain about PvP would still come to the forms crying about something!!!!!

This isn't rocket surgery. Close the gap with smg or sidearm, learn to shoot from the air, from cover and accurately while strafing, use the meta or use a high impact scout at a far far range. Vigilance wing at medium and long range can be outgunned with ease. Have you tried Crimson? I've been using Jade Rabbit and to be honest Ive been destroying people the last 2 weeks. Come september a lot of guns will be brought up to the meta level. Personally I'd like them to focus more on ability/grenade damage, movement and certain supers but whatever.
-
This is the exact same way people complained about the MIDA the entire first month of D2s release. I still don't think it ever got a nerf, and Bungie, we appreciate that.
-
7 RepliesAh yes, the good ol’ “Ask someone to do something and then insult them” tactic. Flawless strategy.
-
Just stop. People like you ruined this game constantly crying about balance.
-
This is pointless, there will always be a Meta loadout. Datto(or other rando streamer) will show you what weapons to use and sheeple will just move on to the next Meta. We have seen this for YEARS. Thorn, Last Word, Shotty, Mida(both D1 & D2), Uriels, Antiope, Last Hope(or similar side arm) and now its GL and VW, with some Crimson sprinkled in. Community said they wanted exotics to feel exotic and powerful, now people want balance and some random legandy scout to compete with those. Bungie cant win. Community is just plain annoying.
-
I think it's pretty fun right now
-
Playing our own game is hard. -Bungie devs
-
I would suggest you read the weekly updates. Read interviews. Educate yourself to things that have been answered by the developers repeatedly. The entire weapon system is changing in 6 weeks.
-
Balance of weapons happen every start of season, so probably the next one will happen in September.
-
These 2 exotics are right where they need to be... because they’re exotics. If you won’t sacrifice giving up your Colony or acrius to equip an exotic in another slot, then you’re not going to succeed by relying on a weapon that you might only use 25% of the time.
-
We have to remember, these are the same people who thought the side arm meta in D1 was a good "fun" idea..
-
Well no, I dont know many Devs that actually play their game. Im pretty sure most people hire "game testers" for that. You can tell the Devs dont play, when they perform a live stream, their reactions are slow like they have to think about the controls first before applying, plus i seen one Dev using a Nighthawk then Activate an Arcstrider.
