I’m not doing this to go against the grain, this is truly my take. My favorite PvP game mode is rift. As a side note: I also enjoyed the last iron banner more than almost any other iron banner in D2. The push for the center capture point (although chaotic and littered with Titan barricades and ability spam) was a fun and broken take at a goofy and entertaining objective. Why? It’s simple. I haven’t gotten any entertainment from “Team Deathmatch” style PvP game modes since 2007. It seems like a large number of D2 players (or at least the loudest and most outspoken players) are completely content with nothing but “Team Deathmatch” game modes. “If the game mode requires anything other than slaying out and getting more kills than the other team, I’m not interested” is the mentality that I picture when I read all of the PvP feedback. I don’t share this mentality. I was PvPing in first person shooters back in the early to mid 2000’s. I can honestly say that I was burned out on TDM style game modes pretty quickly. I have no desire to wear my KD on my sleeve and I’m certainly bored of “get x # of kills to win” games, but I certainly enjoy a good competition with an interesting objective. I’m here to have fun, not flex my skills on other people. Rift is the closest thing I have to that in Destiny, and I’m going to kindly ask all of the TDM lovers to consider that there are players with different interests in destiny. You have a hell of a lot of game modes in Destiny that play like TDM…I think you can afford to let the objective game mode players have their fun, especially when we literally have 1 fun objective game mode in the entire game. Additional note: [spoiler]I believe a supreme focus on “balance” in PvP games is not always a necessity. I understand that a large number of players are here to test their skills and prove to others that they are the elite, and game balance is undoubtedly a requirement for you to prove for certain that you are unquestionably an absolute demon at dominating your competition. However, some people want to simply have fun. Balance doesn’t always equal fun (as we saw in year 1 of D2). There are times when you can let your hair down and just enjoy the wacky nuances of open world PvP or goofy objective modes that favor certain builds or play styles. Just something to consider.[/spoiler]
