I heard the reason crucible is 4v4 only is because they were worried about matchmaking times on PC.. it'd take forever to find 12 players.

Welcome home boys!
Was totally on board with the PC version, now that it is on battle.net (I hate blizzard and their stupid client) I am not sure how to feel. Slumming Destiny again on PS4, not sure if it's worth it.

Frankly, I'd stick to playing PVP on PS4 anyways because I have little experience using KB+M and would likely get cleaned up trying to use a controller. Although I am thinking this would be the best time to switch to a XIM

if multiplayer is 30 on PS4 it will not be 60 on PS4 Pro.

Gunslinger has a shadestep esque thing called dash which reloads your equipped gun, he talks about handcannons as well.

Using a xim is nothing like kb&m in a PC shooter, especially for Destiny. The game has the slowest max turn rate of any FPS on any console and this naturally levels the playing field between controller and xim users.

ASK ME ABOUT APPEARING OFFLINE SO I DON'T HAVE TO TELL FRIENDS THEY'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MY VIDEO GAME TEAM.
Can no one playing at the event right now tell the difference between 30 and 60 fps? Why do they need confirmation from the devs if the public is playing the game?

Doesn't Battle.Net have a lot better security/anti cheating stuff than Steam?

Y'all know battle.net/blizzard launcher is just a branding thing right? It has nothing to do with server archetecture.

That said, blizzard launcher is probably the least obtrusive game launcher thing ever (because it's just there to pick one of a rather small libaray). But if Activision starts using it for future titles, that will change.

Looking forward to the ghost card back for hearthstone.

You've told me this before, and man, for some reason I hadn't even considered that it wouldn't translate well between console and PC versions of D2. Crud. I still think I'm going to do it, because it has to be at least a step above using a controller. Most of the people that have them seem to be believers.

This 100% correct, with a XIM you lose a chunk of your movement and escapability but gain a more accurate controlled shot, at the expense of Aim assist. Its both a disadvantage and an advantage. It's just different. Way different from a PC shooter.

Also to everyone dick measuring No one gives a gently caress about your chosen platform, eat poo poo and die instead of posting about your pc.

Changes seem cool, no dedicated will be lame, no 6s is pretty lame.

To clear up the weapon thing you get 2 primary slots and a heavy slot. 1st slot is Kinetic only, 2nd is energy (elemental) 3rd is power/heavy (shotgun, sniper, fusion, rockets, gatling guns). In the reveal is showed sidearms in either slot, hand canons in either slot, SMGs in either slot etc. From twitter they've just amped up shotguns and snipes to be 1 hit kills etc, no heavy for team any more, just more often and for the person who opens the crate.

Frame rate chat plz gently caress off. Smooth 30 is better than poo poo 60 anyway.

Better to under promise and over deliver, if they are still doing optimization passes.

Edit: unless the engine is poo poo and ticks are tied to framerate.

Im guessing its just archetype descriptions. Mid range, mid impact tier kind of poo poo. Should make it easier to know if you got a hawksaw archetype or a praydths for example. Not a big deal.

I hope that ends up being true. I'm skeptical that my 5-year-old gaming PC could run the game at perfect 60FPS, and I'm not interested in upgrading its video card for one game (CPU is probably fine.) Then again, I'm kinda bummed that I'd have to re-up lovely garbage PS+ just to play the game.
