I've given them a grandchild and we both have women so....

Live Team Game Director:

New systems and rewards to give our most engaged players additional, optional pursuits.
Better incentives for players who complete challenging Prestige activities.
Better rewards and replay value for strikes, adventures, and Lost Sectors.
Private matches for the competitive community (we are targeting early 2018).
Crucible tuning like adjusted Supremacy scoring and better spawning rules.
Better incentives for completing Crucible matches (and penalties for quitting competitive games).
Continued improvements to Iron Banner and Faction Rallies, including uniqueness of rewards.
Changes to make the mod economy more interesting and impactful.
Ongoing improvements to Exotics, including adjustments to reduce instances of duplication.
New ways to spend surplus currency and materials (looking at you Legendary Shards).
An emote interface that allows players to equip Salty, Spicy Ramen, Six Shooter, and Flip Out all at the same time.

Huh.... I guess we'll see what their definitions of this stuff is lol.

Crucible should quickly get better.


Updated Mercy Rule settings to allow Mercy to activate slightly later in the match, allowing a wider range of scores to trigger it.
Clash
Reduced score limit to 50 (was 75)
Control
Reduced score limit to 90 (was 100)
Reduced influence that enemy-controlled zones exert over the spawning system
Survival
Reduced round time limit to 2 minutes (down from 3)
Reduced life count to 6 (down from 8)
Supremacy
Increased score-to-win to 70 (up from 50)
We now grant one point for defeating an enemy Guardian
Adjusted the influence that enemy crests have on the spawning system

So less one sided stomp fests that last 8 minutes. Survival won't be an hour long. Spawns will be a little less broken. Supremacy gets back the +2 points per crest which is so fucking needed in that. And people will get banned for leaving Comp.

^ All of those things sound great. Was about to fucking rage when I saw Sup +20 score, but quickly saw the reasoning, and that'll improve the mode soooo fucking much. Looks good man. Any idea when these will be coming into play?

As soon as you give them $5.


There's no timeline on anything. It's just a response to "Bungie never tells us anything, that's why we're so toxic." So now people can be toxic that these things aren't here yet.

I'm fine with the game as is, but I'm happy they're attempting to implement fixes that would actually benefit the majority of players.

The dev team has shown they are really good at balance. I wish the dev team worked more closely with them but it is what it is right now, hopefully Bungie learns from this and improves.

Nobody at Bungie has ever been good at balance.
