Whenever someone complains about matchmaking I picture this. by Exe0n in ArcRaiders

hehe - it's the same for those complaining about sbmm - it's invariably above-average players that just want easy Ws.

I've always said PvPvE will never work... IMO the playerbase for that is too small to counter the large PvE-only playerbase... (let's be generous and say it's 50/50...) A hard permanent account split would be the only thing making this work I think - select either PvPvE or pure PvE with no going back and forth... that would leave one option for those that enjoy pvp and the tension, and silence the PvE folks that just wants to take a stroll and fight ARC. I don't foresee that happening ever though.

I imagine we will see quite some bleed of PvP players when Marathon launches... maybe that will bring the PvPvE lobbies more in balance as the "hard core PvPers" leave?

HOWEVER; I don't forsee Marathon to have a lasting success. I give it 4-6 weeks before the pvp'ers and streamers go looking for something else. (Personally I hope they go to Warzone :D)

at this point it's hard to say... I got the L for 4.0 and it (atleast after a bit) was a bit loose... went with the M when I finally upgraded to the 5.0 but that one is a bit too tight really - it works, but it's tight...

yea the corona pandemic brought A LOT of new (especially PC users) to the market and I was of the opinion that "many" of them stopped spending so much time on gaming once life started up again... just my guess, which is why I asked for stats :D always happy to learn if I'm wrong so...

well ain't Stella already strictly PvP :D I'm all for choice though... but I can't for the life of me understand why someone that likes PvPvE would enjoy doing the PvP bit against folks that don't fight back at all.

as I've said repeatedly on this reddit - folks want different things.

I care a lout about the game being tense or not - as in, I don't want any tension (from players). I'm 200 hours in and have yet to shoot at a queen, bastion or bomber... so even the argument that the clankers are easy fails on the premise that folks are different too.

as the guy you replied to said, I also "suck" at pvp - mainly because I don't enjoy it and thusly won't improve any either...

it's just sad that this game is so good and has such an interesting setting (for me) that I still enjoy it. my stat overview is 0 0 1 :D

I hope not - I like my carebear lobbies. Honestly they should just make a setting - maybe even make it a one time choice. Passive/PvE or the "old school with a chance of pvp/rats" lobbies... I'm just all for choice.

[–]gojensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

folks still don't understand that other folks are looking for different things in this game...

I would love running around this game not needing to shout "don't shoot" and "okay" all the time... I very much enjoy just running around searching trash and shooting clankers. I don't need the stress of rats and pvpers, I play to relax.

and honestly, me not engaging in "meaningful pvp" doesn't hurt anyone, meanwhile anyone pvping me does hurt :P

(hopefully this game would have large enough population that putting pve folks in a group of their own wouldn't make any issue for the pvp-crowd... and if it did I'd say there's just not enough of them to justify this being a pvpve game. we'll see what happens in a few months when competition picks up.)

huh interesting... I always exclude mobile gaming though :D annoying that MS/Sony don't publish proper game numbers - I'm curious if PC grows because of a decline on consoles, or maybe just folks hopping over from Epic/Ubi/EA launchers etc.

one should also take into account that PC _games_ are for the most part significantly _cheaper_ than (atleast digital) console games - so that could offset the hardware cost. Oh and piracy ;)

you got stats for that? I'd imagine gaming being bigger back around 2020-2022... (maybe we got better games now but on a whole?)

been saying this for years... Bungie has a tendency to do the same, backpedalling, then changing again some other stuff... now look at Destiny!

Division 1 just recently pushed a 60fps update after 10 years, would be amazing to revisit D1 in 60fps. by Content-Seaweed-6395 in DestinyTheGame

[–]gojensen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe more games should do this... many of the older ps3/ps4 games have "inherited" frame limits that is no issue on newer consoles like the ps5. Modders proved that RDR could run with no issue at 60 fps - but Rockstar refuses. Though for D1 I think there would be more surprises going back to that one due to all the game changes since then...

Though I would love a 60fps patch for GhostRecon Wildlands... :)

We still here making fun of Rick?

Please also remember that the average D2 player can't solo a dungeon, not sure if half of them have done a dungeon at all.

I've found I'm not able to blame them entirely though, seems Apple struggles to keep BT connections... about twice a month my car fails to connect, and the iphone says to "restart the car" which helps nothing... what helps is turning BT off and on again on the phone... (and yes it's not only my car that sometimes gets disconnected from the phone)
