PvE vs PvP Changes

[GazzaGarratt 10,948]

Chris made a good point in his PPR but how do solve the rebalancing issue between both types of gameplay when we have to use the same Guardians for both?

 

What do you suggest to make PvE equalise out to the positive PvP changes they've made?

 

Changing super time charge will significantly be the first step. I hope they make the Titan bubble better, there needs to be better defensive options imo.

Surely it can't be too difficult to make changes between the two different game formats. Guardian has standard character defaults for P v E, player selects a P v P mode and the game automatically buffs/nerfs supers, grenade recharge times across the board? Perhaps I'm oversimplifying something but, to my non-techie brain, it doesn't seem too hard

Unlike Chris' suggestion they can't just ignore PvP, it is a big part of Destiny and there are a good chunk of players who almost solely play PvP.  We were discussing this the other night and I apologise now as I can't remember the exact numbers but it is something like 60% of the community have ever tried a raid while only 20% have completed one.  Obviously there are the strikes and NF's etc. but it gives some indication that, to a good chunk of the player base, PvE isn't that important.

 

I can't really comment on super charge time as I've not played enough control to know how it works in that.  In the competitive mode, I don't see a problem with how slow the supers charge as arguably supers actually ruin the game mode as you either it is use your supers for an insta-win round or supers are used simply as counter to other supers.  I can see (but haven't exeprienced so may be wrong) that in control with more kills and more points from capturing objectives that supers will build quicker.

 

I don't think it is clear cut as seperating PvP and PvE out to seperate mode and the game will instantly be better.  It would still take careful balancing and arguable more balancing than currently due to effectively having 2 game modes.  Bungie would also have to be careful not to run into the situation of there being PvP weapons and PvE weapons - a gun that is powerful in one should be powerful in the other.  On balance though I do think they should seperate them out, we saw in D1 that in trying to balance PvP and PvE shotguns became OP to fuck then became uselss and Hand Cannons followed a similar path.

Bungie will never get it right. One will always be fucked, that's also the main reason that Destiny will never be a contender for esports.

I guess we will see.
