There's 3 things PvP needs. Just 3. This is nothing to do with balance or buffs or the way the matchmaking works, although it's pretty bad.
We need to remove competitive until further notice.
Make Player level in PvP separate from pve. You want to attract new players, this is what we need.
PRESTIGE SYSTEM - 10 different ones all with different cosmetic rewards. No this is not completive. Competitive, you're playing for points and one singular emblem.
NEW MAPS - This is really just beating a dead horse. The new maps they brought out really are hit or miss in my opinion. With that said, playing the same maps we've been playing since launch is horrible. Now that brings me to my last point.
A COMPLETE OVERHAUL of LOOT. why would anyone play crucible for the same guns we've been receiving for YEARS. Make at minimum 12 new weapons and 2 to 3 armor sets every season. This is a looter shooter and I'm done getting retrofurist or any of the same vendor or world drops we've been getting since day one.

I’m playing now , had 3 games ….forst one got booted , 2nd one mercy game which strange as it’s the same people I usually play with and third game spawned into a losing game which was another mercy . It’s pure luck to play on any given day now and get a few good balanced games . Only so much bs people can. Put up with 🤷🏼♂️😂

PvP is dead if you think it is a real competitive pvp game, if you accept it for what it is you can still have hours of mindless pvp fun messing around with different weapons… I just took 3 months off the game, back the last 2 weeks…whats with the scout/pulse loadouts…or scout/auto loadouts…is there no attempt anymore to learn a primary, or is it all about kills now….sniping is so rare now too

I always welcome different viewpoints on whats needed and your is very different.. this is my feedback on your points: 1. [b]Prestige System[/b] -- this would encourage more PVP players of all types I would think for those unique cosmetic awards. Imagine even a special rotating "Shiny" upgrade memento/shader that would give a random weapon "shinyness" but also extra perks >> that would take it to the next level. 2. [b]Maps[/b] -- I personally hate some maps.. this outweighs my need for new maps by a lot. I just quit another Anomaly in 6s as soon as I saw the name pop up.. this horrible map in 6s popped up twice in 3 games... I cannot stand the insane dumbness of this map in 6s. I would pay money to not have it in my rotation along with Convergence, Twilight Gap and Exodus Blue. I would PAY. This also highlights that the game may actually have enough variety of maps but you will even get same strikes IN A ROW?? Battlegrounds in a row??? These are EASY things to correct. 3. [b]Loot[/b] -- the vendor loot used to change up.. now they are selling pseudo sunset weapons (cannot be enhanced!!).. the cost of 3 engrams makes no sense.. and 5 for some.. at least add new perks to them or make them enhanceable.. Anything that would help the population get there via Loot and rewards.. will just improve the experience... but now with the technical issues.. no sound.. players moving funny.. cheaters.. and matchmaking issues it definitely.. and regrettably from neglect seems to be on its last legs. PVP is the only thing that has kept me in this game.. so I hope they DO SOMETHING.

Low player base. Bad matchmaking. Bad connections. Cheaters. Broken game code leading to the impression others are cheating. I doubt they can fix it. They couldn't with 25% more staff, why could they now?
-
I got weaseled twice last night. Both times it was when our team was making a comeback . Obtained my first time out ever. Game is dead.
-
If someone is scoring 54 and my game feels like its 2D with the bows that's problematic.

Edited by A_mo: 12/19/2024 1:54:21 AMSometimes I wish people would realize how much this game does for them as far as matchmaking is concerned. All that stuff does need to be added and it takes more than just the PvP side of the game for this game's PvP to do well. As far as competitive and trials. At least one of them needs an overhaul. Possibly to include a different number of players or something that really changes things up. It would be nice to have some sort of prestige system that didn't make if feel like the more you've played the more you're going to be playing for other people. You can just watch the prestige fly out of your pockets with the way the current system is set up. As it is now, its "embarrassing" to have more. [quote]Make Player level in PvP separate from pve. You want to attract new players, this is what we need.[/quote] I don't know what this means and I don't want to guess. I doubt there would be 12 new weapons and 2 to 3 armor sets. The requests should be realistic. That's kind of more than the game even needs every season. Unless you meant across all the modes. But even then that sounds like a lot.
-
If it hasn't been clear over the last few years, bungie doesn't really care about pvp. There's a reason why it gets next to no new modes and maps without it taking almost a year or so.
-
Removing competitive is literally never the answer
-
These could be good improvement ideas, but with the current lag issue and cheat, it would be like painting a turd. They need to fix the basic stuff first or nothing can strive.

Edited by TrunkMonkey: 12/18/2024 4:22:57 AMIf comp was not here i would not play this game. Survival needs to be in comp playlist not this stupid banner flag obj I wish they would revise destiny 2 vanilla. It was the change we needed and old crusty from destiny 1 were just throwing a fit cause it was different but it was far more balance.
-
PvP has always been dead. Braindead, at least.
-
Bad matchmaking. I've tried getting people onto the game but beatdowns simply aren't fun.

All sounds great but won’t happen . There’s no community team now so no one is reading this forum from Bungie . PvP is done and dusted ….slowly crawling to the end which is fine as we all knew this was coming . Time to start letting go 🤷🏼♂️
