We don't need a lot, but we need something every now and then. It feels clear that PvE content is harder to develop and loses steam faster, while a good PvP map is evergreen. Strong PvP keeps players grinding your old PvE content for weapons — it fuels the whole ecosystem.
I don’t know if the PvP strike team still exists, but we desperately need them back. The current state of PvP is rough (though it has been worse):
- The fact that I can only go Flawless once per weekend is strange and restrictive.
- The hand cannon shotgun + lightweight knife is still out there.
- Titans sitting back to boltcharge up completely kills the flow of matches.
- Special ammo economy let's gods snowball
- I could go on..
There’s still so much fun to be had in Destiny PvP — the foundation is incredible — but the lack of new maps for years the, stale metas, and the focus on temporary “party” modes are driving people away. I’m queuing into the same three stacks seven or eight times an hour because there just aren’t enough others left.
Your PvP community needs a healthy, shifting meta and for Trials to have a real identity again — or something new to fill that role. I’ve defended Bungie for years because I love this game, but for the first time since I started playing, I’m worried it might really be the end.
And I don’t want it to end.

It feels like they moved the majority of their pvp devs to work on marathon. They also dont seem to want is playing pvp. They only offer 3 modes in the portal during the week and trials on the weekend, nothing else gives viable rewards. Stuff like mayhem is not an option anymore. What makes it worse is i doubt marathon will do well, its just not appealing, and they expect people to pay for it. With destiny being the worst its ever been and the Art drama and many other fctors they should make it free to play or something because I dont think many people trust them to put out a good game anymore.
