#destinytruthcast Episode 38: PvP Killed the PvE Star
With another tuning patch about to be announced, it will be interesting to see once more the effects of the PvP balancing on PvE play. Should the modes be separated or should Bungie continue to cling to the notion of wanting our weapons to perform the same in both modes?

[spoiler][quote]The #destinytruthcast is a Bnet #feedback forum community podcast hosted by members of the community and featuring community members as guests.
The podcast was started to give everyday guardians a chance to do something they would probably never experience by being on a podcast and to give them the opportunity to have not just their thoughts, but their voices heard by Bungie as they discuss the game.
Beyond that, it's allowed us to get to know the voices and personalities behind the gamertags we see on the forums and get to know each other in a way not possible in anonymous words on a page.
We aren't here to endorse or tear down Bungie or Destiny, but to give honest, balanced talk on this game. Thank-you and maybe we'll see you on an episode. [/quote][/spoiler]

3 RepliesEdited by JimmyTheHand: 2/7/2017 4:54:16 PMHey Sols and RWG. Thanks again for a good listen and much appreciated for the work you put in for the cast. Completely agree with you on a lot of the points raised in the cast however my thoughts are from a person who played this game for PvE and gradually got more into the PvP game as the years went on. First off I love the PvE in the game. Never thought an FPS could get people to cooperate so well to get the job done. I live for challenges and hard gameplay and the raids have lived up to that in most instances with the odd mechanical design stumble in one or two sections (Mostly looking at you Dark Below). When I first got into PvP I was pretty bad, though I learned from my mistakes, learned the maps found my specialisation in Fusions because I can't snipe and am not that good at shotguns. A lot of my advances I owe to watching tutorials from people like True Vanguard and Sliq111. I can't emulate the playstyle of True Vanguard however the info he has for crucible makes you learn to erase bad habits and what good players look for to get their kills. I now consider myself an above average player. However I'm just not into this "Meta" business. I play for fun and when the mentality is that I "have" to use a particular weapon to keep up with other players, that ceases to be fun. Fair enough I don't follow that train of thought but a lot of the player base does to the point where your kill feed is skewed to the same four types of death. At the end of the day balancing is all well and good, we get a month of variety everytime it happens but then it settles back to this slump of unoriginality in Guardian loadouts to the point where I'm saying to my fireteam "Oh wow this guy is running Abyss Defiant and Midha's Reckoning, kudos to you sir" and yes I've said things like that..... but it's so rare. For me I have this idea that I may be happier if they just introduce a ranked playlist. It would go someway into removing all the, for the lack of a better word "tryhards", from most games and hopefully provide a more diverse arena of Guardians. It even speaks to another point RWG and Hamster were talking about in regards to the Queens armour and that it's stat points weren't good. I'm imagining this is in relation to that tier 12 setup that you can chase? However what if you don't care about that. My vault is near bursting because I have a problem with gear. It's not that I keep more than I should with things I never wear, it's that it's like a fashion show when I'm in the tower and before I get into a game. I have to be dressed for the occasion. My crucible armour loadout is 50% optimisation for orbs regen health, grenades increase super, armour boosted by subclass and increased speed on respawn/capture. Then 50% "damn that Jimmydahand killed me again, but I can't be mad when his Titan looks so badass"..... okay that might be a problem, but it all goes in to having fun. Why have all those distinct armour pieces if you're not gonna be individual right?
