Ubisoft has never done anything like this before. Just like Bungie when they started Destiny. Hopefully Ubisoft has watched these past 2 years. Maybe they will make some good changes. But then again... It is Ubisoft. So I'm never going to be sold until they bring back Prince of Persia

Big difference between Bungie and Ubi. Bungie had a great track record with Halo, while Reach had it's fault's the MP was awesome.

Ubi... I can't remember the last game of theirs that I actually enjoyed. (Tactical or Shooter)

 

[Tri4]

did you not see this?


XD

Lol, the recoil is so bad. I switched to Monte Carlo and did way better. Plus Monte Carlo has that amazing sound when shooting.

 

[Ruthless_Barbarian]

Is there going to be a patch for the mm update, or will it just activate server side?

 

[Kor of Memory]

Any trains with an open slot?

Yeah. That's my big reservation. Ubi isn't amazing there. I did love Splinter Cell: Blacklist, but that was like 2-3 years ago.

Bungie nails what Bungie has always nailed, with the exeption of a good campaign, but they got that right in Taken King. Loot & economy are what Bungie keeps screwing up. And while they have a workable RPG progression system, it's really bare bones, and mostly forgettable. There's nothing wrong, per se, but it's so modest.

Bungie created a shared shooter. That's the reason I'm still playing. I don't care about new content. I just want the game as is to be an enjoyable and rewardable time to spend with the friends I made in the game.

Rainbow Six:Siege is phenomenal, best tactical shooter I've played in years even with the server issues, which are much improved now thankfully.

Also hoping for a train ride!

I think Rift as the Iron Banner mode is a pretty fun change of pace. I've been enjoying it.

I've got another question for Destiny GAF though, do the perks on Iron Banner gear from Lord Saladin change throughout the week, or does it stay the same during the entire Iron Banner Event?

 

[Darknyss09]

Looking for a seat on a train too.

Sure, I'm in

Let's do it! Hopping in the couch now. Send a party invite! \o/

 

[gunawi]

Sure, I'm in

I want to join the train too.

BUNGIE just tweeted MM changes are live.

I'm 99% sure they stay the same throughout the week so no rush.

Bungie: "Matchmaking changes are now live in Iron Banner. Play some games and share your experience with us."

Also, this site is pretty neat: http://destinyscopes.com/

 

[Axoman]

I played the division alpha and it didn't grab me. I'm going to give the beta a try though to see if I like it better.


I had a lot of fun with rift last night. I think we won 90% of our matches and I was with two other friends. We just focused on always getting the spark.

We ran up against a lot of other teams that didn't know what to do and mercy ruled them within a few minutes.

Stormcallers are great for clearing the path.

 

[E92 M3]

Changes aren't actually live, they are experimenting if we think there is a difference.

Any trains in need of a 6th?

TrueSight IS is my go-to. I wish all of my guns had it - even my rocket launcher.

A train just left the station. ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I hope so. It'd be funny to see people so outraged and vehemently opposed to any level of skill matching jump ship simply on the expectation of a change creating a better experience.

 

[Daemul]

I was just thinking this lol

But nah, people are able to find out the locations of people they're matched with, so it's an experiment that would be exposed very quickly.

I created a party. Join on me for Iron Banner trains.

yeah, going to start IB tonight sometime too. want to see if the algorithm are just smoke signals or if they're actually something substantive.

what was lacking in the alpha?

Rainbow Six:Siege is phenomenal, best tactical shooter I've played in years even with the server issues, which are much improved now thankfully.

I've been waiting on a updates and a price drop / or good digital price here before I give it a go. I loved Vegas, the first one, second one wasn't as fun.

 

[Jafku]

Sorry Kor I'm with a group. appreciate the invite though

 

[mehrmantrout]

2 more for a banner train

 

[noomi]

Curious to hear everyone's thoughts about the MM update today...

+1 Have been really enjoying this game lately. When you have a full team, it's just insanely fun.

 

[kadab]

Sorry guys got to go.thanks for the run. Later

I don't know if they flipped the switch, but I just had a relatively sweat free match of Rift where I got 27 kills and around a 4 KDR with teams full of people that weren't using weapons and loadouts as dictated by Crucible Playbook.

Coincidence?

You're not the only one, our first match was sweat free as well.

It felt a little clunky and awkward to me, but I didn't have a lot of time with it either, so I hope to give the beta a fair shot and get a better feel for it.

Laughed a little to hard at this

I don't believe it. I refuse. Lets play tonight and see what happens.

Excellent, thanks!

 

[TP-DK]

My thoughts on the MM changes; disconnects everywhere.

 

[Kadey]

Need one for train. Still going strong. I'm averaging 20 kills today.

 

[Namikaze1]

Took a quick lunch so I'm ready for some IB. Anyone needs a 6th?

 

[LTWood12]

Yeaaaah, Can you feel it baby? I can too...
https://vimeo.com/12413505

It's such a good connection
It's such a sweet sensation

edit: My brother is Mark Wahlberg's twin.

 

[SgtCobra]

So are the matches less sweaty now?

Edit: ugh didn't read the replies, good to know that it's gotten better. Thanks for the heads up guys.

 

[the_id]

Logging on for IB train.

 

[KJRage]

Yesterday I played about 15 or so matches and was lucky to win 2. I played just now with 2 other buddies and we won 4 in a row. Not sure if the new MM has anything to do with that or coincidence. Maybe they are less sweaty now.
