Same, hate it so much I will usually just go into the competitive playlist were you can't get it. Absolutely terrible mode in D2.
Really hope they let us pick what mode we want to play soon, that way I'll never have to play it again.

A company being excited for their new game is a huge slap in the face to all the fans that liked their old games.
Good run, guys. Despite my disconnect lol
What's wrong with it?
Other than people still not realizing multiple people in a hill aren't needed, heh.

That's the thing with random rolls. Even if you have a good gun with no good rolls, you're pressured to grind for the same weapon over and over till you get a perfect roll just so you can get an advantage. To me, that's no fun grinding at all and not you're not gonna convince me that it is a fun grinding.
If they allow us to customize perks with legendaries/exotics, fine with me.

Yep that's the one. So satisfying to use.
Really suits an aggressive play style too.
My biggest problem is the spawns always seem terrible, either flipping nonstop or spawning you with the other team and I always get it on the terrible maps, which does it no favours.

I actually get wrecked in control.
Maybe I just don't understand the strategy.
Kill confirmed or whatever it's called is where I'm currently excelling.

I wish they would get armor set bonuses so there would be a benefit to having all the pieces.
The spawns are pretty broken in all the modes, but in the beta it was fairly easy to tell when they'd flip, not sure what happened.
I'm glad there aren't because while I love some armor pieces, some look terrible. Mix&Match gives the best look.

Do we have any idea what the faction rally thing will be?
we'll prob know in a couple of more hours.
I can't stand Destiny PVP solo, need to be in a group and shootin the shit in order to enjoy myself. I enjoyed competitive the 1st week but that was because most teams didn't know what they were doing yet. I only like maybe 4 maps and the rest i hate or dont care for. way too many trades, friendly player collision still sucks and i hate getting shot around corners or shooting people that are lagging. in some ways it's an improvement but others it's worse than D1.
I tried trials and could only get 2 wins on 1 ticket, in D1 i went to the lighthouse on several occasions. I atleast got the trophy so now i have no desire to do trials again (all my characters are 300+ and i only have 1 raid clear so the drops arent even worthwhile imo) I'll make an exception for countdown on midtown though. also fuck survival mode.
As for MIDA, i've been playing a lot of PVP for the call to arms and just the other day switched to MIDA (got it at 305 now), kinda amazing how much easier PVP seems now. I was using scathlocke or w/e it's called and having a good time with it but MIDA will clean house in the mid to long range game. Can you beat a MIDA, of course but anyone out of position is going to get beat.

PvP during public events to fight over the loot.
Believe it or not, Division had a mode like this I think. So stupid.

D1 PvP is an absolute shitshow right now, but it's far more entertaining far more often, and I will take it over D2 outside of Trials. I like Trials in D2 better than Trials in D1 since HoW, but that's probably because the Eternity map is easy to play. Just scout down a lane until somebody gets team shot. I've played like one person who was actually good at the game; everything else is about being in the right place and looking the right direction.
The other things you mentioned were very small and nitpicky.
I didn't mention those for that reason.
I'm not seeing a whole lot to ask for from D1 to this game. Some of the changes were design decisions and I'm enjoying the new take a lot more than I expected.
yes
Only Exotics, Milestones as well as Trials&Raid gear will drop above your LL at this point. Rest will drop at non-Modded highest power -5 (so if everything is modded, at highest LL-10)

I agree grinding for a perfect roll isn't fun... That's why I never did it, lol. But what is fun is knowing that picking up a duplicate weapon won't necessarily be the same gun. Having options and variety in a loot game is a good thing.
I much prefer it. There is way less dancing in a circle, waiting until you can play the game some more. I also prefer less sniping, smaller team sizes and longer ttk. It's like they made the game just for me.

Yes, hold on to them. Do not cash in until you have reached Level 20 and Power Level 260. They are an important way to go from PL 260 to 265.
It's the worst mode in the game. No doubt.

Has anyone had a problem with pre-rendered cutscenes skipping? I'm wondering if it might just be my disc, and if I should ask for a replacement from Amazon. It doesn't happen *every* time.

I'm stuck in this mod farming hell! I just want a legendary counterbalance mod or two for my kinetic but the rng is so stacked against me and rare mods cost 2.5k a pop.

Never understood the hate for crucible, I always have fun with it. I have good games and bad games but it's always fun.
Hopefully gonna try leviathan tomorrow as I have the day off work. Hoping I have some luck and get a good auto to fuse with my main but we shall see.

I still prefer it to countdown. It does feel like it lost something in the translation from 6v6 to 4v4 though.

Countdown on Eternity is easily the most unbalanced thing I have ever played.
During that 20 minute wait, do you just float in orbit?
I like the PvP a lot more than I did in destiny 1. I love succeeding with a coordinated team. I'm getting better too, feels good. About Control specifically, I hated Control in particular because of how capping a point was just begging to get constantly oneshot by any number of things on tons of maps, but I am able to at least tolerate it in D2 with a team that plays strategically.

I hated control when I first started it, but when you play with other ppl you know, it grows on you.

Cool was just about to turn the game off to head to work and I decrypt one last legendary and get Uriels Gift. Will have to try it out tomorrow.

I agree with this.
It's awesome. I have one in arc, void and solar so I can do all three of the crucible element kill challenges.

So, is that Reddit power level guide still valid?
The PL 280+ part suggests you start a new character of the same class, get to level 20, transfer all your 280ish gear, and redo all the shit you did previously, to yield bigger PL drops...
Worth it?

I completely agree with this. I feel that a good coordinated group of friends makes PVP fun and not crap.

Crucible has been great with friends, but I was hating randoms...until I started sticking really close to my group and it's been fine since then. You usually have at least 1 or 2 people on your team that know to do the same and if that's the case it's alot more interesting.
I do wish they had a free for all mode. Sometimes you just wanna lone wolf it.

No. They patched that out. A new character of the same class will get the same level of awards as the original.
A new character of a different class will see the LL benefit though.
no, alt characters of the same class will not receive milestone gear that improves overall PL.

Anyone running NF?
Yep. And it said Looking for Guider...
Or something like that. When I first clicked on it, it told me there would be a 20ish minute wait-i thought that was odd but it was pretty accurate. I just did some work while I waited.
