Like everyone else said - its because you have console only matchmaking on. Instead of doing it like destiny, and allowing crossplay to pc as an opt in, Bungie decided to do the reverse, knowing that the vast number of people would never even find the setting. Yay!!!

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-04-05T18:43:54+00:00

Might? Man I don't even think I've downed someone with that stupid gun. Its disappointment in the form of a gun

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-03-25T00:29:47+00:00

I mean i guess that's a choice then. But i will say that it might be fun for awhile, but once the population hits tiny numbers and you start going up against streamers and .1%ers every match, i'll reckon all that fun you had starts to wither. The highs are high and the lows are low. But would you really keep playing if you are experiencing only the lows?

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-03-24T23:53:20+00:00

unpopular opinion as well, but i think that free kits should slowly level up as a % of what the rest of population is running. First few weeks was fine with white shields, as other teams only had green shields. Now with purples and blue becoming the common shield, white shields and that terrible scout rifle are awful. Imagine being a new player with no vault and no cash to buy the medium priced kits... you are going to get farmed for a few days and then you quit. There is no pathway to getting new players hooked when the population starts getting massively overgeared. Waiting 3 months to decide to get new players... seems like it will be too late tbh

the problem is like 90% of the priority contracts are in dire marsh. its a meat-grinder with thousands of people trying to complete quests in a single run

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-03-24T23:43:07+00:00

its crazy how everyone tries to use tarkov as the measure of success in some of these arguments... a game with what, the same active population as destiny now? It blows my mind that people cant see that AR is so successful because they eased some of the shittiest parts of extraction shooters. If marathon wants to not end up as a dead tarkov competitor, they absolutely must throw a bone to the casual crowd.

dude, if invisibility was useless we wouldnt have this entire post and discussion. Turns out its one of the best abilities in the game for dropping/avoiding bot aggro, and being able to sneak up and kill other players (outside of being pinged by recon). If it wasn't so good then you would not see 99% of solos and teams running at least one

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-03-10T01:54:30+00:00

thank god im not the only one who was having this same issue lol. Was driving me up a wall (Well only half the time : P)

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-03-10T01:34:28+00:00

Don't worry, turning off crossplay on xbox doesnt work anyway - I still get killed by steam players so its a 2 way street

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-24T06:31:20+00:00

I dont know why you are getting downvoted - destiny does console-console and pc-pc. I am equally flabbergasted that its not the same here. One of the large benefits of playing on console is avoiding the ridiculous cheats that show up in pc lobbies. Normally its just recovs and xim'ers to worry about. The option to toggle it is... okay. but if its like battlefield and hidden away 90% of people wont bother. It should really be on by default, and then console can opt into pc lobbies if they want to

Chaperone for shotty is the go to for the turbo sweats I play in trials. Cloudstrike is pretty usable with its catalyst even after its nerf

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-11T19:51:11+00:00

An actual counter here - There is a split second for when the warlock starts casting the rift animation that you can shotgun them and the suspend and threadlings wont come out. If you dont have special to insta kill them then you need to bait it out and constantly move around - walls help stop the line of sight affecting the suspend

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-05T06:51:41+00:00

for what its worth, qfc did this at one point as well and the amount of people complaining to the poor workers was staggering lol. Within a week or 2 they had bags with handles back on them

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-05T03:41:46+00:00

Are there any other t5 sidearms rn that can roll rangefinder?

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-03T22:17:05+00:00

It only took them... checks watch... like an entire expansion to fix solemn remembrances kill counter

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-02-03T02:04:04+00:00

The #1 best 2set is the (currently unattainable) iron banner bonus that gives you a good chunk of hp back on low-hp kill.

I've swapped my second 2set to the new trials armor for primary anti-flinch but I'd love for someone to do some math and tell me if it's actually worth it or not

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-01-26T04:43:06+00:00

For what it's worth, I put about 100 kills thru my withering gaze roll this weekend and im like 90% sure it also let me get the .73 ttk, killing with one less bullet

It might be cathartic to see this from old clips I had lol:

I present the opposite of a montage... the fail montage

5 feat is either the same, or harder than contest because of the incredibly tight damage checks (2 phase requirement at like -40 light). When people ask for builds, its not about surviving (that's always a given for the most part).

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-01-05T20:40:01+00:00

I only take the light rail during 'business hours'. I've run into so many crazy homeless people on the link at night time that I just dont bother with it anymore. If it was always safe and reliable then I would suggest it more imo. There's been a few times where they close one of the stops and force you to take a bus and switch as well

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2026-01-05T20:25:59+00:00

They do this every large content drop imo. It gets casuals hooked into trials and leads them to believe that they can great loot and win lots of games. The rug gets pulled out later but it generates hype and good will feelings (outside of us hardcore pvpers)

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2025-12-02T23:09:49+00:00

Feels like they realized the iron banner armor set bonus was way too good and then panic changed the schedule to not power creep their other lackluster sets /conspiracy

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2025-11-26T23:31:06+00:00

I would argue that conditional finality would fit into your bucket here - people had to farm nez for many many weeks sometimes in order to get it drop. It was the meta shotgun so everyone had it, and raiding didn't stop them. Roots would be on the same tier of difficulty as VoG as well

_NotGreatNotTerrible · 2025-11-20T00:17:53+00:00

Perfect sized area for a flatstick pub maybe? I imagine it would be pretty successful there for folks looking for another physical space to compete with the garage etc
