      I think you should do more research into the way AE works. Since its not accuracy which was harmed, it was actually improved. Aim assist, the thing that allows people to have forgiveness, is what was harmed.
      Its getting reworked soon.
      If you cant build craft weapon and ability systems then I recommend going into Halo.
      Also Adept weapons are not meant to be more than the same weapon as the one in the normal loot weapon just with a few more options.
      Also I believe the sass might be due to SBMM putting you against people on your same level on casual play. Which I agree needs change but it seems you rushed this video, as you explained by letting an AI produce inaccurate info.

It's actually made Gambit look good.

Not to mention how it's always pulse rifles and scout rifles 90% of the time with the season mods depending if subs or hand cannons get used. you used to be able to jump into crucible and just use whatever you had, I even used a white kvostov one time and it was great fun and you could take any combo of weapons and armor in a still have fun.

    PvP has never been perfect, but as a PvP main, it has been really depressing watching it decline over the past few years. SBMM and basically no relevant loot in PvP lately is kinda the nail in the coffin. Crucible needs some serious help. Still feels like the faucet is turned off and shows no sign of being turned on.

  • @dustinspencer7215
    @dustinspencer7215 2 роки тому +58

    The most interesting part of the downfall of Destiny's PVP player base is the fact that Bungie keeps lying, outright, and people still buy the game. They still support them, year after year, never realizing that buying those games is what's incentivizing Bungie to not care about what you care about. Complain all you want, make all the videos you want, but if people are still buying what they're producing, you're going to get more of the same. There's no repercussions for their poor work because of this.
    That's why I refer to Destiny 2 as a whaling game because that's what it's become. Just keep lying to the whales that you 'care' and do what you want, they'll just keep buying it. They make videos, they complain about something, but they're talking about the game, giving it free advertising, whether they want to or not. That's how Bungie looks at Destiny 2. They couldn't care less about their player base because they've never, EVER, had too.
    Whales just keep buying the game, pretending that Bungle is going to live up to their lies THIS TIME, when they, literally, have no reason to care about what you think. As long as whales keep buying everything they pump out and keep buying those skins, Bungle has no reason to care about what players want.
    In case you're wondering, the reason the 'gun play' feels 'good' is because Bungle has been using the same engine since Halo Combat Evolved. Bungle isn't that company anymore and hasn't been for nearly 20 years, so they can't change the engine those former employees made because they haven't hired anyone that knows what they did to make gun play feel good. They've just been adding on to the engine, all these years, which is why shooting a gun in Destiny 2 feels a lot like Halo. It is Halo, it's the exact same movements and sounds. That's not the mark of 'good' game studio, that 'listens', it's the mark of a con-job game studio that's out for billions, not out to care about what players want.

    Honestly thank you so much for making this video. As someone who has only ever really stuck with the Destiny franchise due to PVP it hurts so much to long on and play in the current rule sets and sand boxes we’ve been dealing with. Bungie’s promises on PVP changes are empty after thoughts in the minds of many PVPers. Honestly with them now being picked up by Sony for that giant 3.6 Billion purchase it’s near impossible to forgive them for the now current state of PVP. PVP streams have carried Destiny through so many dry spells and help keep it relevant even if the PVE scene doesn’t want to admit it. I’m not trying to start any beef with these comments but I feel the Destiny franchise has been greater neglected this year and it shows with Bungie working on their secret new projects in the background. They need to respect their fan base and the people who keep their wages coming in. I’m still on the edge for purchasing Lightfall and almost feel guilty doing so. I know the new PVE content will be great for about a month but I doubt will see any changes with PVP expect for possibly addressing a few outliers. Alright time to hop off my soap box and get back to working out. Great video Evan and happy New Years brother 🤙🏼

    I still play D1 crucible when I want to have a fun pvp experience. Why is it that a game that has gone untouched for almost 6 years is more fun than the 3.6 billion dollar worth “constantly updated” destiny 2? When I play D1 pvp it feels like I can make anything work and that it’s up to my skill level to be successful. Everything in that game can be meta if you want and you aren’t limited to what bungie buffed that season to make you buy the season pass. I don’t care if the graphics and fps are worse. I actually like it more that way in my opinion because it slows down gameplay and doesn’t make me waste time checking if the lens flare from the god rays coming through the tree is actually that or a hunter wearing shiny armor with a shotgun. Anyway D1 will always be better in my opinion until they focus on gunplay in D2 again, make abilities less important, focus on the golden triangle, slow down movement, and make it so that stupid gameplay in the crucible is able to be punished and not rewarded (when someone does something so stupid but gets kills for it because they rely on a crutch exotic and abilities to give them free health or information that can not counter played against 🙃)

      I think it's worth a shot. I personally am really enjoying the crucible at the moment, as are my friends. Maybe it's because I'm a relatively new player, having only played for a bit over 2 years...but although I understand the points of the video, it feels like both evanf and many of the commenters are just burnt out on the game. I'm not sure though. The gunplay is the best I've ever played, the loot system feels satisfying, and I enjoy everything from dungeons to Trials...although trials can be a chore. Even the competitive division, which I placed at the top of (meaning the competition will be the hardest) is enjoyable in that it pushes me just enough to feel difficult, but still feels achievable...although the rewards are lackluster, I will agree.
      Regardless, the game is free, so giving it a try is as simple as downloading it. I'd recommend that at least.

    Opinion that will always get me crucified by my fellow Destiny community: Destiny is a PvE game first and foremost and while PvP is not tacked on or meaningless, it seems like it is the secondary priority for Bungie currently. Maybe we will see a bigger pivot to it down the line but for now, in a post Beyond Light world, campaigns, raids, and seasonal stories seem like where the manpower is focused

      No one disagrees that PvE has been the main focus, but that is arguably the problem. Raids and campaigns and all that are awesome but crucible is what keeps the game alive after the replay ability of the previous mentioned activities wears out and gets boring. PvE getting all the focus and PvP being neglected is the problem.

    Bungie cares more about making emblems to support "The Current Thing" than it does gameplay. They also continue to have complete disconnect with simple things players want.

    You know, i used to play destiny pvp religiously around TTK And Rise of Iron. Once D2 came out i stopped playing and continued again again a few months before the witch queen came out. Throughout the times that i played the little sandbox updates tweaking weapons and abilities a bit felt natural and understandable. But I think what bungie does wrong is they think people are getting tired of the game so they change a major aspect of pvp in hopes it will be well received but it almost ALWAYS sucks for the true pvp players. Its sad to see because Bungie has time and time again had a nearly perfect sandboxes just to scrub it all and start again with a (not so) clean slate.

      I mean this is pretty easily comparable with a game like... say like Black Ops 3, or Cold War. Both cod games mentioned released with Multiplayer and zombies, like how Destiny originally launched with its two sides of the game, PvE and PvP. If Treyarch or what have you ignored one of these two gamemodes, or made it significantly worse via changes made, its not hard to imagine that the fans of said gamemode would then become upset. I feel like it's pretty fair for the fans of PvP to be upset, even if it's the smaller gamemode of the two. It's been around with us for 8 years now

    I’ve got more than 3000 hours in Destiny 2 at this point and I’m constantly seeking new gear to try out in crucible. I appreciate the need for balancing all the abilities, perks, etc. but other than a few game breaking things such as stasis on release and some of the 2.0 subclasses I reckon they’ve done a pretty good job overall, but it’s taken a long time to get those balance issues dealt with in the past and I am thankful that balance changes happen a lot faster now.
    The biggest issue in crucible is a lack of variety in modes and what can be used in those modes. Looking back on the best of what Halo offered were things like Juggernaut (one player that is permanently in “super”), infection (each player killed joins the “team” of the original infected), hell even the option to have more than two teams (imagine crucible or gambit in a 4v4v4 or 3v3v3 or 2v2v2).
    Halo Infinite is barely a functioning PvP game at this point and it’s a shame that it is suffering from a similar issue to Destiny 2 PvP and that is a lack of content and rewards for playing PvP. At least with Destiny you can go out and collect gear to bring into PvP to keep it fresh.
    What Halo infinite needed on release was Forge aka a map editor that the community could use to create the content the developers couldn’t or wouldn’t. I don’t know what it would take to have one in Destiny, but if the PvP and PvE community had a way to build maps for crucible and gambit it might make up for the lack of new content and the sun setting of old content.
    The thing that I don’t get is that the team at Bungie must know what we want, but are too focused on cosmetics that they fail to realise that we need somewhere to show off our cosmetics.

    I genuinely believe the new comp system is cosmetic rewards away from being a absolute hit. Say for instance at the end of the season you got a banner showing the rank you finished as the emblem, or to go even further what about tiles? Glorious is not a flex like unbroken used to be, so what about a title for ranks? And then that adds even more sense with the guilding aspect of titles now. Title example: Ascendant Slayer 3” 3 being the amount of times you’ve guilded the title!! And it’s not like this is a particularly hard thing to implement either

    I'm a pvp player and the only dlc I ever got was forsaken. I came back during shadowkeep after I left due to curse of Osiris and the only thing that kept me playing were the weapons that came with forsaken. Like ace of spades, the last word, and thorn (I like revolvers). I haven't considered buying any other dlc outside of beyond light. I really wanted hawkmoon and the new subclasses seemed cool (pun intended), but I didn't really care about stasis even if was op. I really only wanted hawkmoon, but one gun isn't gonna make me buy dlc. I have hawkmoon now because of the limited time offer where people that don't have the dlc were able to buy it from Xur, and that gave me less reasons to buy beyond light. Now the contents of the only dlc I liked are gone, the cool quests that gave out the cool weapons I love just got replaced with what feels like a vending, the only game mode I enjoyed is becoming more annoying and starting to lose more of what I loved about it, and me realizing that the storage space that the game takes from my console are mostly content and future content I'm not interested in led me to deleting it. I also have some other reasons on why I deleted it, like how the weapon crafting doesn't feel as rewarding to the rng loot, and how None of the weapons really appeal to me and if they do, it's you have to buy the dlc to get it (except for that one free hakke shotgun that had above average range for some time, that one was fun). Sad fall out of love from a game.
