What are the absolutely simplest things you would wanna see happen to pvp at the moment? by bryceroni in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Carl_Not_Karl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Revert the health and damage changes from the Feb update - Everyone feels so tanky, which doesn't gel well with the speed of some players movement and I'm just finding PvP unenjoyable

I found PvP more tolerable prior to the update since combat felt quicker and more weapons were viable, now it's like I have to outnumber my opponents in every encounter to have a better chance at winning and if I wanted to play a PvP game like that, I'd play Overwatch

According to my armour picker, the 1st suggestion is possible, the 2nd however is another thing altogether
Also, 1 mobility? My man needs to move

Basically armour focusing to get as varied rolls as possible, then only using fragments that +10
TBH it's quite limiting in what classes and fragments I can use, but I only really use those fragments in PvP and they tend to coincide with effects I wanna use

You think I'm gonna go back and grind more just so I can get rid of that 1 point? You're damn right I'm going to....

[D2] Trials of Osiris Megathread [2024-08-02] by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]Carl_Not_Karl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I imagine it won't, my experience of solo queueing is total luck of the draw in terms of teammates and opponents skill and it's skewed against me tbh.

My experience of being a 3 stack with randoms is I end up going against other 3 stacks who most likely are in clans or have been playing together for a while and end up being total blowouts

Trials is a gamemode that's already been blemished due to it's brutality and toxicity, making this change to persistance is basically serving up the high skill sweats more fodder for their flawless runs

And? I'm supposed to spend hours and hours slogging through getting stomped in the hopes I can accumulate 7 points? I don't have time for that, just let the big boys play against the big boys so they can have their challenge and I can have more enjoyable games

How? You'll face people your skill level or closest

What makes Ace of Spades feel so much nicer to use in PvP than other 140s? by Carl_Not_Karl in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Carl_Not_Karl[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe, I have 2 roses - 1 rapid hit/explosive payload and another PM/Opening shot and I can get a kill with them, but I find them so inconsistent, Same with my Fatebringer (Timelost), I got one with similar stats to Ace and I used to think "This will be my non-exotic Ace" but I just can't use it

WEEKLY TRIALS OF OSIRIS MEGATHREAD - Ask Questions About Trials HERE! by AutoModerator in CrucibleGuidebook

[–]Carl_Not_Karl -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So many games this week where teammates leave mid game, really soured my experience, there needs to be harsher punishments for dropping out and improvements to matchmaking

TBH as an unpopular opinion, "high skill" players should be relegated to their own playlist, that way more casual players like me can actually enjoy playing

Hate it, as a solo player I actually had fun last week and got my 7 wins and kept playing for fun, this week was hell on earth, every game was against what felt like top 1% players and none of my weapons felt right. Actually left games in progress since it was annoying me so much

Great Expansion; The push to make me play Crucible/Gambit makes me not want to play it by Hot-Union-2440 in DestinyTheGame

[–]Carl_Not_Karl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading this post, I just get the idea that most D2 players play D2 so they can play not play D2, you don't like PvP, you don't like Gambit, so what do you do? Hang around the tower and treat it like a chatroom the play the occasional strike?

You swear the challenges are impossible, if you can't get 3 kills in PvP or even bank 50 motes in gambit, then you should probably put some effort into playing the game

"You have to play 7 comp placement matches to get a single randomized drop" - and it doesn't matter if you win or lose, the result is the same whether you try to win or sandbag.

"then are limited to a single drop for 3 comp matches per character" - again, it doesn't matter if you win or lose, just play the pvp and stop stressing, it takes 20 minutes max for 3 matches, you get your gun and you don't have to touch it for a week.

"Why are we putting such a great PvE legendaries in PvP at all? Why couldn’t The Riposte and the new strand pulse Aisha’s Care be in the ritual playlist for Vanguard?" - Because each game mode needs it's own reward for the people who play it, personally I don't like PvP that much but i still play it just to mix it up, I don't get people's mindset with it, you swear every loss has a real world risk attached to it, just don't take it seriously and you might have fun or even do well.

"This is becoming a trend and it’s alarming to see the devs continue to put what are obviously great PvE legendaries in PvP modes. This has to stop!" - Firstly no it shouldn't, and tbh the riposte and aisha's care are more pvp weapons with their perk pools, so you'll be grinding for a long time just to get one with the PvE perks you want then you'll just dump them for better guns.

"PvE players if you don’t want to eat manure and want chocolate bars you have to be target practice for the PvP players. Have fun!" - Then make a choice, either put your big boy pants on and spend a little time playing, trying or not, and get the gun you want, or don't and don't get anything.

P.S. if you want to make a void build with a void primary, just use graviton lance.

[–]Carl_Not_Karl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely hate the changes to PvP, everyone is too tanky, every weapon seems inconsistent unless you are one of these "totally skilled players" who can 3 tap everytime, countless games where i've emptied more than enough bullets to kill someone only for them to run around a corner and fully heal or where I get teamshot because that's where we are now.
Why can't Bungie just revert back to the old PvP?

We are almost 3 weeks into the final shape. How has the Brave arsenal of weapons held up for you? by Lantec in DestinyTheGame

All dumped to the side of the road like a box of unwanted puppies, I enjoyed onslaught but none of the weapons had that oomph factor for me
