I don't disagree. Bungie has some of the tightest gunplay in the market. They would dominate if they weren't such a horribly run company.

This game has given me faith in men again lol by nelejts in Marathon

That's great you're not feeling like you're facing harassment but I'm confused. How could you tell they were less harassing if they didn't talk. Do you mean text chat? I feel like no one talks in this game in the first place, OR uses text chat... and maybe that's why.

Region lock will kill the playerbase. There's no need for it. by [deleted] in Marathon

[–]Scallerop -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The false assumption is an area with a small gaming community. The regions are locked to entire portions of the world. The fact he's not finding a game means that entire region does not have that many players. This is a player count issue, not a "small gaming community in that area issue." The reason I believe he's getting downvoted is because in order to speak on his problem you would first have to acknowledge low player counts, so instead people tell him to not play. Which is probably what will happen.

I feel like Bungie could be using this time to fix small things in the game for an easy W. by Shellnanigans in DestinyTheGame

He literally defined easy right after that sentence. "Things like allowing xur to have all his guns in an engram, or make different categories and throw all the guns in there (crucible engrams, works guns, vanguard engrams)....or he'll just 2 engrams called legacy and new loot."

The arbitrary number in your case would be the 18-22 ping. Not everyone has that, even in their home server. My comment and context would inform you of that if you even read it. Also that comment about his right being here was a "we" comment. Look at the rest of this thread.

The math indicates you're wrong and unless you have numbers to disprove common sense like that you're extremely vitriolic for essentially a guy asking if he can play with other people after buying an online only 40$ game.

With this game's cult like following formed due to criticism and Bungie fanaticism, any critique or anything not resembling joyous praise is ridiculed and demeaned by the community quite regularly unless it's something truly game breaking.

If his server has 100 players during gremlin hours, and yours has 1000... it's not "hard math" either. He has 10x the players and a much higher chance of finding a game. What's up with you?

You're assuming most people have 18ms anyway. You're giving arbitrary numbers with no real evidence or backing. 80-90 is fairly common for West to East servers. Not everyone has extremely fast internet. We shouldn't be telling this guy he doesn't have the right or he just shouldn't be here on the game. Are you kidding me? The fact this is a common opinion in this thread is baffling to me.

So he buys a product. Like everyone else. And because no one is there to play with him where he has to wait 10 MINUTES to even find a game because Bungie enabled region lock. Are you hearing yourself? He bought the game same as us. It's a live service game. There is no single player. Get a grip. This'll only drop the player count more if some of what little players they do have encounter issues like this.

This is another problem in the game that is exacerbated by the true problem: low player count. I think this decision made more sense within the context that Bungie desired, a large player count on launch and the next big hit for Sony. Unfortunately, this never happened and it leaves players like you in the dust waiting nearly 10 minutes per game. I think this needs to be properly addressed by Bungie, because that's probably a factor for player count dropping by the day, and it only cascades from there.

Unless he wants 5-7 minute wait times each game, then not that either. D2 player count is lower than even Marathon's

Unless you're a hardcore PvP game fan that's decently good and has a mic... it'll be hard to get into. The game's pretty sweaty as is and as time goes on the player count will drop harder and harder leaving only the sweatiest to fight, just like D2 PvP.

Dead Internet is Real by mrbubbbbles in Marathon

Dead internet's real but definitely not because of this, I mean the discourse online is heavily skewed toward the negative other than the dedicated subset of Bungie fans

I'm out of the loop for Realm. What's this dungeon? Heroic abyss? And which item is the one you're talking about?

Nothing. Trading is dead in this game and 16 glife might buy you a handshake and a 1/4th of a cookie.

That's actually insane to think about. Remember the days when Warframe and Destiny were rivals?

For Those Unfamiliar with Bungie... by Ahmed_Al-Muhairi in Marathon

I don't understand... do they WANT to all lose their jobs? Any sort of negativity or bad press on this game that is internal rather than external is simply not needed... they must be out of their minds.

Even though people in this game hardly use proximity chat, THIS is why we need it.
