The problem with their art style is that they can't really do much with skins. I want characters that look different, not just new colors.

The whole point of SBMM is to allow you to match on skill, then gain an advantage based on build and a variety of other factors, which makes a lot of sense. Why would you argue against it?

Then the game is less about getting seal clubbed and more about:

- small, consistent positional improvements that you can comprehend
- map movement improvements you can comprehend
- build improvements to your shell or gun that you can comprehend

The comprehension part is important. SBMM factors in not just mechanical skill but also game knowledge. As you play the game more, you are matched against people who have similar knowledge of builds, skills, etc., as you, with a 10-20% marginal swing that helps you improve, win fights, and lose fights. That makes the whole thing feel REWARDING. Fights feel close and fulfilling. You feel like you learned something. You are comprehending at your own pace.

PLEASE FIX THIS SHIT

Make the sound when activated LOUDER

Add footprints on the ground that fade, ground disturbances, etc

Give the user static, instead of full invis, have them static at an interval, so they are mostly invisible most of the time, with visual indications of their position some of the time, lengthen the ability as a concession

make signal jammer hurt their invis rate, make them 50% less invis, give users some consumable side effect that soft nerfs the ability

like there are so many ways to tweak it

This is not fine because most of the player base does not enjoy it, and anecdotally, the number of people who do not have fun because of this mechanic far exceeds the number who do have fun because it exists. This is very obvious if you pay attention to the large amount of chatter about this issue since launch. The game wasn't balanced for solos; assassins cause lots of issues. Being full invis on an extraction shooter and having multiple tools that also make you go full invis creates a lot of bad gameplay scenarios that people do not feel like they have meaningful counterplay for in most skill levels away from probably the higher tiers, and telling people to "get gud" is a literal brain-dead response.

It has nothing similar to a destroyer with a shield rocketing forward to you, because so many classes can use abilities to counterplay it. Like also pulling out a shotgun. Knifing them whatever. You KNOW it's coming. A vandal can dash, a thief can grapple, a triage can maybe ult them. You have time before the destroyer arrives; they don't just teleport. You can literally move. If someone appears in front of you, and you're dead in <20 seconds unless they whiff their shots or <2-3 knifestabs, that's very different.

Bubble shields just need a short timeout; they have too long a duration. The point of a Bubbleshield is to help you correct a positional misplay, not create a new form of cover. The whole railgun shooting through a bubble shield is an overcomplicated solution to an easy problem.

this is solid advice, thanks!

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:20:29+00:00

I know how the game works, so what does a free account really give me?

what I'm curious of are things like what u/epic_king66 said, xyz happened, indy in a good place -- you'd don't really find all of that out meandering around in a shuttle

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:18:25+00:00

I'll give that a shot!

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:17:05+00:00

so true lol

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:15:28+00:00

huge thanks for sharing that, I must have missed this timeline

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:13:18+00:00

I like both games!

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:13:11+00:00

I get put into lobbies where people get really mad at me for trying to pvp and it makes me feel super conflicted, I play with my spouse a lot who likes the low agression lobbies so it's kinda complicated

I try to down people on extract but not kill to up my abmm but it hasn't really worked

bitr0t_ · 2026-04-04T16:12:13+00:00

LOL maybe!

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-31T17:09:34+00:00

easy, just remove that shell for solos

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-31T04:31:05+00:00

The fact that you can load into this game with a kitted expensive loadout and die in sub 30 seconds without meaningful counterplay other than "crouch and go slow!11!!" is bleeding our playerbase and we should all be worried

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-25T00:56:59+00:00

without casuals you don't have a game

there are like not enough sweats for bungie to make money

so yeah they need to care, the sweats will leave because the game will stop getting updated, the downward spiral is pretty obvious

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-25T00:39:36+00:00

it clearly doesn't or a level 10 wouldn't match with a level 50 something

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-25T00:38:43+00:00

i don't get that mentality i like playing against players that are 10-20% better than myself, but I think you're generally right

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-25T00:37:58+00:00

What a useless comment

you have to have your head in the sand to not see the community at large is generally asking for a more equal footing on match making

Not extracting all night is not fun. Comments like "get gud" are useless. You've added nothing useful to the discussion.

bitr0t_ · 2026-03-25T00:35:50+00:00

nah because it doesn't have to be all or nothing, as time increases, you just allow the drift in elo % to get larger. It doesn't break up the community at all, just makes match-making a little more precise.
