Bungie should seriously consider taking PvP out of Destiny. Or at the very least stop rewarding people for playing it. My main reason for my blatant and unapologetic hatred for this garbage is that it forces Bungie to design guns and armor in less creative and less interesting ways, and most importantly less fun ways. Does anyone ever actually use the Vigilance Wing for anything other than sweating out a few Crucible matches? No, and why would they it's mediocre at best. Now I don't mind Shooter or competitive games at all, I play a lot of Overwatch and while I'm not very good at it I still have fun because the game was designed around the fact that people would be there specifically to play against other people. Crucible has always felt like it was just tacked on to Destiny and only makes it a worse game for it.
Well, reading this again it looks more like a rant than a coherent argument but I just feel like, especially with the grind of the some of the Solstice challenges that the flaws of the Crucible really shine through. Like the Clear superiority of one class over the others. Or how poorly your experience is going to be if you aren't using one of two guns right now. I know it's too late for any of this to change but I feel like this needs to be said even if I'm not going to say it right.
TL;DR: I hate Crucible and wish they never put it in the game
Yeah and they say pvp players are the toxic ones in this game "at the very least stop rewarding people who play it" you have about 80% of the progression options in this game and everyone of them is easier to do then the crucible equalivent. You're also one of those idiots that thinks bungie will up its pve game if crucible is gone. I play more crucible then any other activity in this game. Especially now that it's heading in the right direction. Crucible has no effect on your game experience. None. The difference between you and I is I can step into the pve side of the game and win. You can't in pvp.
Okay.
1) PvP would be better if Bungie hosted the servers instead of P2P connection - this reduces how people die before they even see the enemy.
2) PC players should NOT get matched with console players - let's just be reminded of how we get 2 tapped by 10 crits on a Vigilance Wing because consoles have aim assist.
PvP should not be removed, but it should just be fixed. PC players are matched with console players on Trials, giving them an advantage because of aim assist. Don't reply to this and say "Get good" because I don't care how good you are, they are still going to have an advantage. Imagine playing mouse and keyboard with aim assist. You'd destroy.
This new Solstice event is not enjoyable at all due to these PvP challenges. Rank 50 with Shaxx? Really Bungie? Imho this event should have 2 paths you can take: PvP or PvE. Go ahead and make the PvE more grindy, make the PvP more grindy too. But I can guarantee you most of the population will take the PvE path. This event is unfair to people who don't have active clans, meaning they can't get the masterwork because of prestige Levi. It's also unfair to people who can't PvP at all, making the game unenjoyable and feel more like a chore than a game.
So please, if anyone who works at Bungie reads this, please reconsider the challenges set to upgrade SoH armour and maybe host servers and either give us aim assist or take their aim assist away.
