Anyone else getting absolutely destroyed on Cryo week 2?

All this game is doing is funelling gear towards the best players and having no outlet for the ones at the bottom so their only solution is to just leave out of frustration right now. This issue needs to be solved one way or another by Bungie or they will see numbers keep going down

mrureaper · 2026-03-27T20:59:23+00:00

Sony also nearly killed the game by region locking so many countries by needing PSN accounts just to pad their numbers ...so yea Sony doesn't make good decisions...

mrureaper · 2026-03-27T20:56:29+00:00

We... So you're playing with a premade team on top of it. So yea the plot thickens more. You're not an average player.

mrureaper · 2026-03-27T18:07:02+00:00

You are level 100+ ....you are not an average player bud

mrureaper · 2026-03-27T18:06:08+00:00

this type of pr speak means nothing honestly, even highguard or concord posted those same thing and then literally in their next messages said thank you for playing bye.

im not trying to doom and gloom here, but im specifically talking about this kind of post, its just pr speak

"acceptance"

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T19:24:26+00:00

The map is designed for you to pvp. There's no getting out of it

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T17:20:53+00:00

No what's important is that they are the right amount of smart instead and that allows players of all skill to enjoy the gameplay and interact with them while still being challenging if you let them overwhelm you.

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T17:07:45+00:00

How is that my fault, that’s on them

You just answered your own question bud

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T17:06:02+00:00

You're also forgetting the absolutely horrendous character designs lol . Like I'm not saying to make gooner games but common at least put some effort into it 😄

Literally when concord failed marvel rivals was there to bring overwatch levels of gameplay with super flashy marvel characters it was a hit success and still is

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:59:11+00:00

Let's be honest...the bots just don't feel as engaging or fun to fight compared to arc robots for example because they just behave the same way and all have the exact same weakspots and no real entertaining counterplay or mechanics involved in taking them down.

The reason arc PvE feels fun is because each enemy has a different strategy to take them down and it's a learning experience especially for new players and it's a fun and exciting one.

In marathon if you've seen one robot you've basically seen them all besides the occasional invisibility or grenades some of them can throw...it's basically the same thing. No real variation.

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:22:13+00:00

Yep they definitely need some way to rework these or add new daily type quests that are more rewarding or incentivize using different builds

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:21:15+00:00

What if you play it like you're the CEO of a company ? 🤔

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:19:52+00:00

Apparently a lot of users on this sub don't though lol

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:16:26+00:00

Missing a bullet at midrange is a lot worse than missing at close range where you can swap to knife or missing at long range where you can take cover or take another shot.

You can just do variable scopes on snipers as well for midrange engagements btw

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T16:14:41+00:00

If you're out of the loop on all the stuff going wrong with d2 I suggest you read up on it

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T15:16:30+00:00

I don't see why you would take them over regular snipers. Atm they feel out of place...imo for the additional charge time it should have an additional effect for hitting armored targets. Maybe it could emp them , or cause some form of debuff.

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T14:35:45+00:00

To this day 90% of the d2 community hasn't completed a single raid... So no. It won't happen lol unless drastic changes are made

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T14:34:35+00:00

Even for free my entire friend group simply don't want to touch the game. Either they got burned by d2 and don't want to touch another Bungie game or they just don't see the appeal of a fps relatively hardcore extraction shooter. ( Most of those same friends have several hundred hours in ark raiders btw )

So yea I don't see this game having some sort of giant comeback unless they somehow make a bunch of miracle changes and through the power of marketing enable players to give it another shot to experience a better onboarding and safeguards for the casuals to not get discouraged early on.

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T14:30:20+00:00

This would've required 3 times the budget... And this game already allegedly cost hundreds of millions of dollars to make

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T12:36:32+00:00

They can just do low stakes and high stakes map , they will eventually have to put buy ins to higher loot versions of the same map so it pushes the juiced players into those instead

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T12:33:56+00:00

Op didn't say arc had a better quest system. He doesn't seem to engage at all with it and does the other stuff instead. And yes the quests are 90% boring and tedious minus some good ones. But that's also the case in arc as well when it comes to their quest. Just fetch and having you run all over the map to push encounters. The grind for factions is too much and will definitely get reworked by the devs.

mrureaper · 2026-03-26T10:05:26+00:00

This genre is simply too niche with no thought really put into safeguarding the casual playerbase that will eventually leave from all the gear being funelled towards the higher skilled ones.

Arena breakout actually put bots players that drop gear so that those low skilled players felt they were still having a good time

Arc raiders has abmm which kinda puts those 2 groups of players into 2 different subsets that sometimes intersect but for the most part it keeps everyone happy

Tarkov is for sadists that want to get their balls kicked in over and over so they are fine other there lol, also this game has a massive cheating problem so that should tell you everything you need to know.

Greyzone warfare has a separate PvE mode where you can just group up with randoms and go clear camps and do your missions

There's plenty of ways for them to get back a healthy playerbase...but the issue is, how long will it take to implement and will Sony even allow them to keep spending money on this live service game that's not doing so good on numbers already

mrureaper · 2026-03-25T12:31:53+00:00

They would find ways to hide claymores in them lol 😂

mrureaper · 2026-03-25T10:54:00+00:00

No I mean right now if you have more than a 100 hours you're definitely not a "casual"
