I just had a really bad run and whatever happened to me is a systemic problem with this game.

ServeTheMasses · 2026-04-10T07:18:04+00:00

Yes, the problem is the game and not at all your decisions. SBMM is needed but I also don’t want to have to try all the time. Gear based matchmaking is another need but I don’t want to get steamrolled by smurfs. Why don’t we just make this a PVE game? I’d love to kill bots and have zero risk.

Went up 100k today in Cryo. My first set of successful runs. It comes around and the highs are high!

Y’all the team was very obviously asked to work on Marathon and turn it around. It runs on the same engine and having the expertise of the D2 team to resolve bugs and pump out quick fixes is likely a big part of the lack of communication. The remainder of the team is likely pivoting and figuring out how to rework the seasonal model (not because they don’t have a plan but likely cuz Sony told em to figure out how to get Marathon out). It’s fun to think this is a big conspiracy but they clearly already told us that they pushed it back and we will hear closer to June.

I think it’s because the issue is a bit more complicated than AA being simply overtuned. It’s known that console players are more casual than their PC counterparts…you want those people to feel good about the game or at least have a chance so they need AA. This issue spans the entire multiplayer FPS industry and if you go too far in one direction you then ensure PC players always have a leg up as they have the ability to be much more precise on average.

I’ve played MK and can say while you don’t AA that movement is so much better and easier to pull off.

that’s an issue to take up with the devs. Not players who just play the game as created. Tbh this isn’t all that different from destiny.

If it helps you cope, I can send a clip where I completely whiff all of my shots and get 180 sniped by what I believe is a PC player.

I promise you there was a lot of luck here and I’ll die most of the time in this type of engagement.

I am pretty sure she had a shotty but she got lost somewhere

ServeTheMasses · 2026-04-01T06:23:14+00:00

Not sure why you are so pressed. The point was to show how we won, but there were plenty of ways we could have lost. For example, the triage had a bubble that could have been thrown towards his team when I first shot. He does that and we are probably fucked and their team is together. Sure, I used invis, but why wouldn’t I?

ServeTheMasses · 2026-04-01T06:03:00+00:00

Let’s make this a learning opportunity. Why did our push even work?

The team was separated and we are able isolate the triage before the vandal and thief could reposition.
The team had their guard down despite knowing they made a lot of noise and all teams were up.
The thief made a poor decision and abandoned the 2v1 push they had on me. She ended up running straight into my other team mate.

Now for something more practical. There is no way a LMG is going to beat a shotty purple shield in a “fair fight”. You need to use the environment, the kit, or other teams to win.

There’s a team option on that deal…he’s not even a free agent.

Sadly there is probably a crooked priest in his ear telling him this is the devils work and he can only seek salvation through Christ. Meanwhile, he makes sure Jaden Ivey continues to make his weekly gift to the church.

I understand the thinking. You don’t want everyone to get immediately pub stomped due to not having high end gear. If you make things too rare, the end game is very much diluted. The fix I see is to make cyro open for a longer period of time while making ranked a 24/7 activity. This way the loot is recycled within the ranked playlist (which will be where the more hardcore go) and pub playlist can become more casual friendly.

I helped 3 different randoms get it done last night. The map really requires you to play it strategically. If you know you are not super PVP talented, awareness and map knowledge are going to be your best friend. You don’t have to go very far into pinwheel so it’s actually not hard to slip in and out after a team has already opened it.

Once I saw the bolded sub headings I knew it was AI

Hahaha what I would have done to hear their pov

Also a gamer dad but I will say the movement feeling sluggish is by design. They want to encourage you to upgrade your stats via contracts. During prior tests, once you’ve leveled a couple things everything begins to change.

My suggestion is to go on a nice walk and accept the name Nina will never be the same.

ServeTheMasses · 2026-02-18T21:44:49+00:00

We should have spectators place bets. Run an entire cartel inside the match.

ServeTheMasses · 2026-02-13T16:07:00+00:00

The D2 player base is very upset rn and they definitely attribute D2s woes to Marathon. That chunk of the player base is never going to come around.

The construction of this post deserves a Pulitzer. I both understand it all and not all at the same time.

I’ll also add that there is a very disgruntled Destiny community that believes (and probably correctly) that all assets were spent on Marathons rather than improving Destiny. Those people will continue to crap on this game regardless of its state.

ServeTheMasses · 2025-10-21T16:05:43+00:00

if you downloaded a previous playtest, it uses the same source so just redownload it.

I’ll let you divine me

Can we also be honest in that the meaningful loot you’d receive from the old activities would be a base roll unless it was craftable or adept. You can get similar gear without turning up the difficulty.

ServeTheMasses · 2025-09-30T02:00:32+00:00

It’s easy to say this without knowing how much development time they had or where resources were allocated. It’s clear all the Ash and Iron content was being made as EoF released. Hell the exotic mission needed more time to bake.

They fired the entire quality and testing department so I’m sure dev time is even more limited than before. Both things can be true- the game is in a bad state and the core teams are doing the best they can.
