This is my personal guide to having fun in PVP, but not entirely a guide to being good at it I thought I'd make something like this to help others like me out, when it comes to doing PVP for items we want. e.g. Ace of Spades, and that shotgun that I can't remember the name of but know it is really good, but I am trying to help expand the D2 PVP community, so if anyone here also has useful tips, please do NOTE: This won't help everyone. You don't have to read it if you don't want to, but there isn't going to be a tldr at the bottom, also I am not trying to make this super grammatically correct, if you can read it, and understand it, then you are all good, no need to be my own English teacher. 1. Stay Positive: A very basic first tip, being bad isn't really bad, if you accept it, not everyone starts out a super epic master, as Jake the Dog said "Sucking at something is the first step to becoming sorta good at something" I love AT, anyway, I am not that great at this game, or really a lot of games, but I gotta stay positive and keep playing, and someday I'll actually be better! And so can you. 2. Accept the fact the Crucible (amongst other pvp modes) is a huge part of Destiny: We love Shaxx, we love Saladin, they are apart of the Vanguard (I guess, I never really played D1 and have almost no idea what the lore is, educate me on that) but truth is that, D2 most likely wouldn't survive without any sort of PVP, same goes for almost every single game with a campaign and PVP, so if it has PVP you better believe that they'll will want you playin it. 3. Don't take things seriously/personally: Everyone is trying to do the same thing as you, complete objectives, get bounties, and also win the match, don't expect a walk in the park, it's supposed to be a challenge, you'll overcome it, trust me. 4. Don't leave the game (Unless you really need to): Leaving mid-match isn't cool, your team needs you as much as you need them, sometimes you gotta suck up your pride and stay, even if your team is getting pummeled by a stacked team, but if you are about to rage.... 5. Chill out: I had anger management issues myself, I have broken things in the past, and even hurt myself to cope with my own anger of trying not to break something, but luckily I am better now, but if you are like that, and you are about to flip out and break something, just turn it off and breathe, no one is making you do this, just relax, go punch a pillow, go scream at the top of your lunges somewhere where no one will call the cops, maybe even look into anger management classes or something, don't hurt yourself over a game, you'll be okay, I believe in you. 6. Got Friends?: Most of he time when I play crucible or gambit, it's usually with my best friend, he helped encourage me get the AOS, and I also make sure to always have his back, and vise versa, don't have any friends to play with? Fellow guardian, you are on a forum site with a bunch of other guardians, just call out, do raids, strikes, and such, did an old man never tell you that it was dangerous to go alone? 7. Don't stress over objectives: Just like when doing objectives for PVE, it comes naturally, and of course, and might take longer based on skill, but listen, last night when I was trying to get the 25 precision kills, I was getting really annoyed because I kept dying and not getting the thing I wanted, but then my friend pointed out that I was actually doing pretty well, trust me, don't pressure yourself to complete any bounty or objective in one match, and you'll probably have a lot more fun playing the game. 8. Everyone has a bad game: Having a match going bad? Or even an entire days worth of matches going bad? It's okay Guardian, happens to the best of us, you win some you lose some. 9. Don't blame others: Team mate stole your kill? Don't get mad at them, for all you know, if he hadn't come along, you might've died, and would've handed the match over to the enemy. 10. Blame aim assist....sometimes: Obviously a console exclusive tip, PC kings, you may carry on without reading unless you want to see what the life of us peasants are, yes I play on console, and what would we console players do without our aim assist? Turn it off and find out, if you even can in Destiny, but the truth is, is that AA works differently in Destiny 2 compared to others shooters I have played on console, except maybe Halo... must be a pattern here Explanation: You and an enemy Guardian are having an auto rifle duel, you are both on the verge of death, but you shot first, and have a slightly better AR, the enemy G is 3 bullets away from death, when out of the blue his teammate runs in front of him and your cross hair shifts over to follow the other guy like a dog looking at a squirrel, and now you are dead because your aim messed up, honestly idk if that is just me, if anyone else has experienced this, let me know, if not, then, maybe I am just crazy. I stretched this pretty far, I really want to help other players, and help the pvp community grow, sorry if this was difficult to read, or if it was too long, I just want to help unite the guardians, while also help more of them kill each other. Edit: Most of the people here agreeing are pvp players, some pve players really don't like this, come on guys, you can do both, don't be like Uldren. "The line between PVP and PVE is so very thin. Do you know which side you're on?"
