Pool system for survival

With cheating running rampant on most platforms right now, and being likely undetectable because it's mostly peripherals, it's getting to be completely unfun to get to legend for a lot of players right now. Oh yeah, your matchmaking is also terrible. I play almost nothing but guilded flawless and guilded unbroken players in a team where none of us are unbroken at all. Every time we get a mild streak going your matchmaking knocks us back down. I've been in a lot of games where we had a 3% chance of winning on destinytracker. It's real bad... and it's been bad for over a year now. I think you guys should do what you did with Trials. Once a player hits legend, they get booted into a pool where they only play eachother for the remainder of the season. It would be good for the game for more players to be able to get to legend. That, or you guys can figure out how to negate Cronus Zen and all the other BS these guys are using.

  • Not much game developers can do from what I’ve heard. It’s sad that pc has very little cheating these days but console is completely -blam!-. Best part is people actually pay for online services on console lol

    • I am not defending this and if you cheat in a video game you’re actually a loser with ego problems. Cronus can’t be considered cheating by bungie. There is a YouTuber with DETAILED tutorials on how to “enhance your gameplay”. It’s lame, and I sent a report in with his gamer tag, BNET, YouTube channel, a link to his cringe discord and everything. He still makes videos. It’s super embarrassing.

        Comp is fine as is. Trials is a failure and the pool system is a failure in itself it did not deter blowouts but made them worse and matchmaking manipulation is why its bad to begin with. Cheating is nonexistent what you are experiencing is skill creep and the willful denial that there are just better dudes. Comp also is a small population the ones who still play it like myself play it on principle and to escape the crappy cbmm the rest of the game has. Comp is a reflection of skill and lack there of mythic 2 is impressive but not uncommon especially with how easy they made it to rank up. I get it that you are on your last legend for unbroken but there is nothing off about mythic facing legends following the 1 up 1 down rule in ranking.

          I agree with cheating, it’s getting to the point of being ridiculous. The real issue is not even the pool it’s bungies matchmaking. True Vanguard did a video recently where he started a new character and was helping players go flawless or maybe comp I can’t remember. Anyway he noticed that as a new character with no mods or exotics and playing with casual solo players he was matched against all high level, high skill players almost every single game. I’ve been saying this for the last 3 seasons. I hit Legend solo in comp 2 times then when Bungie made matchmaking changes in pvp I cannot hit Legend again no matter how good I play. I get matched with casual players every game and matched against all really good players, Legend ranked, flawless, unbroken and a lot of cheaters and game after game my teammates getting booted. I get up in the Mythic range and continually, like every single time for the last three season get sucked into a losing streak all the way back down to Fabled over and over again. I’ve lost anywhere from six games in a row to 20 games in a row. There is a few wins now and then but with the next round a loss it wipes out the win and takes more rank points away. If I start winning a game one of my teammates gets booted every time. Bungie is clearly incompetent fixing this so they should let you keep whatever rank you hit and not fall below that rank no matter how many games you lose. Here’s the clip if it works. If it doesn’t I encourage you to look True Vanguard up on YouTube, it’s a newer vid.

          • Booted? Survival's biggest problem is probably low player population instead of people needing to be booted. Also with survival if you go on a streak and then lose then its time to stop playing for the day or for at least a little while.

            That device is and has been running rampant on every game, not just d2. Sadly, not a single dev has taken any action aside from epic (fortnite). I dont even think any other dev has even acknowledged the device except maybe infinity ward. Bungie will definitely be the final dev to do anything, I dont expect them to acknowledge this form of cheating until maybe 2 years from now. Bungies current console anticheat is to shut down threads and suspend players who say anything thats not extremely vague (literally anything beyond saying “console cheating”). Since you mentioned the name of the device (the “c” word), this thread will 100% be taken down sooner rather than later. If you had mentioned even one of the cheats the device offers, you can expect a 1 week forum suspension as well although maybe naming the device is probably enough for a 24-48 hour suspension. I’ve been suspended ~6 times for spreading awareness, I know the backward rules now.
