Can someone please tell me how PVP is fun in this game?

[RevenantPeener]

Not looking to start arguments here but how is PVP fun in this game? I understand its a completely optional gamemode but I am a brand new destiny player going against level 10's sliding and crouch spam strafing with the best gear in game meanwhile I am out here with low tier loot just trying to get challenges done. Is SBMM just non-existent in this game? Any tips?

It's ♥♥♥♥.
Needs to go back to Destiny 1 time-to-kill values, and a whole lot more objective-based modes.

It's complete garbage, and I have had a lot more fun in Destiny in general by ignoring aspects of the game I don't like. Destiny is great when you find the exotics and builds you enjoy, and just mess around having fun with them.

Ignore crucible, ignore ridiculous grinds that are only there to drive up player engagement metrics, just have casual fun shooting stuff when you feel like it.

We just had a full week of Iron Banner and no one even understands Tribute.

They just run and gun, 0 Crests deposited and stay as far away as possible from the Hunt goal, leaving the opposing team free to dunk for double points easily.

Objective gameplay doesn't seem high on the list of PvPers in Destiny 2. I can't even count the number of matches I've been top score in Tribute this week, and I'm not even good at staying alive. It's all about putting those crests in the goal, kills mean squat.

A lot of people are only there for bounty objectives or grinding a catalyst. Playlist objectives are irrelevant, they need 100 headshot kills with a sidearm, or 200 guardian final blows with a bow. Bungie drives people into playlist activities with personal objectives that have nothing to do with the success of that activity for the group as a whole.

just dont play PVP its rlly bad, best thing they can do is remove it for good.

[O.K]

its used to be fun at release of d2 but now its kinda meh with so many new subclasses and op weapons
the ttk is too fast imo they should make it longer

Those people have a big advantage over you, you're new, you don't have the gear they do or the experience in the way things work here. They don't appear to have a training wheels mode, but if you're good at PvP you may catch on soon, or you may hate it, I can't predict.

Maybe do some PvE to get some better gear and dabble in PvP a bit to get the hang of how it works here. In the end, I think the best advice is don't take PvP serious, it's not like those PvP games. If you can have a good time win or lose, you might be OK with it.

If you don't like it, that's fine, you're not alone, there are others that don't like it.

This is so stupid lmao.

Are you saying there's no match making at all in Destiny 2?

No brackets? no ranks? every player is just pitted against each other irregardless of gear and experience?

[erdelf]

sure there is some matchmaking, but full on skill-based match making is only in competitive, because people complained endlessly when it was in casual modes too.

[Thedeadlygas]

in one match of gambit i seen far more aim/wall bot cheating then i ever have in warthunder, im close to 2k hours in warthunder people.

[erdelf]

damn so.. the like 3 people you fought against in a match of gambit, is more than you saw in warthunder with 8 people you fight the entire match, that is famously riddled with cheaters........ yeah sure.
