New op-ed in @wvgazettemail “Some of the recent management decisions at state and local news outlets are troubling, and I get the urge to push back against them in any way possible. But an imperfect newspaper is far better than no newspaper.”https://t.co/DtcBltmkK1

@Forcer69 By the time TFS dropped, most PvP-focused players have quit anyway. I already had, as did all my PvP-focused buddies.

@ZkMushroom They’ve been phoning it in on Crucible for years. Not sure why anyone expected final shape to be any different. Haven’t touched D2 PvP in more than 6 months, and it doesn’t sound like I’m missing anything.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@Benjjjyy It’s great now. Not perfect, but great. Husky Raid is a blast as far as party modes, and the core sandbox is really solid now. The bandit is great, tactical items are cool (quantum translocator) and well balanced. As an ex-D2 PvP player, I’m really digging Infinite.

@th3jmanx @Benjjjyy Apparently desync is getting fixed by 343.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@Benjjjyy Their fucking horrible state of the game sealed the deal for me. Too little, too late. Disrespect your PvP players’ time (and money) investment long enough, and they’ll find other games to play — and stay on those other games even after you promise to make changes.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@Benjjjyy They lost me a while back. Never played D1, but played D2 almost since day 1. Mainly a PvP player, defended it even during year 1, curse of Osiris, all that. Been playing Halo Infinite more and more till I realized the other day that I haven’t logged into D2 in 3 months.

@HaloSupport @Halo Why is radar disabled in ranked slayer? Been waiting for it to come back forever, and now radar is off — when the in-game description says it’s supposed to be on!

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@XiiGuardian @ConnerWittig @LUCKYY10P This. Players WILL PAY for a good — and consistent — PvP experience.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@Separer This x 1,000. This is exactly what I’ve been saying. They made more than $3 billion, yet all we hear is “we can’t do it, not enough resources.” So glad everyone is calling bullshit on what is arguably one of the weakest things I’ve ever heard from a developer.

@namlluf @Zen_Lion00 @BungieHelp Most players are in NA, tho, so …

@Pauly_WV @kaylayoungforwv You’re right, we ought to have safe injection sites. This is the real way to prevent overdoses.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@destinytrack 0. This is the worst PvP has ever felt.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@ADather @Benjjjyy So now, asking for companies to be transparent and not make promises they have no intention of keeping — “renewed focus on PvP” — even AFTER making $3 billion in a single year, is “whining.” Ok. 🙄

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@ADather @Benjjjyy

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@ADather @Benjjjyy So they need to admit that and say it directly — that they’ve completely given up on PvP — instead of saying stuff like “renewed focus on PvP” and “check out trials/comp/etc.”

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@ADather @Benjjjyy The continued and complete lack of focus on anything related to PvP is enough for me to pass judgment. It’s bad, full stop.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@TheTrueVanguard @GernaderJake If you don’t like non-respawning game modes, like me, you’re out of luck. Trials is the only PvP mode that’s gotten anything lately, but as a PvP main I’m not willing to pay for Lightfall just to play one playlist that’s only in the game for less than half the week.

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@HaloSupport And this means that everyone on PC now has even more of an advantage. Just great. 😑

[Rafe Godfrey @RafeGodfrey]

@HaloSupport Why would you release the update in this state at all? This is a PvP game; nobody’s playing for the campaign.
