Pinwheel is basically Dire Marsh Lockdown or Perimeter Signal Intercept but it has a 100% spawn chance and rewards 10X the amount of loot. It's just a map event that's always there.

Outside of early season farming tier 0/1 mats that only spawn on dire or Perimeter there is 0 reason to ever play these maps. There isn't even that high of a chance the events spawn and when they do they reward the equivalent of one box from one wing of Pinwheel.

Season 2 needs to continue to make Perimeter and Dire into actual maps people run by choice. This means:

• More events with more rewards.
• More threatening enemies (hinted at possibly being a thing on Night Dire)
• More loot at the POI's.

Beyond week 1 and 2 running exclusively Outpost on weekdays and then Cryo on weekends is pretty grim in terms of variety.

Maybe Bungie is making a "high stakes" queue which will be the night versions of each map, which would be sick, but the game needs this now not 3 seasons from now.

Prior to last patch every single game was on foreign servers as an OCE player. Every queue was 10m and resulted in being on the Asia server (moderately bad ping) or the USA server (terrible ping), had a guy from middle East in one game as well. It just always wanted you to be against players of your level, server be damned.

After the most recent patch most matches are on OCE server BUT you are against people of any season rank and the server is never full. Most games have 1 or 2 other teams in them max. Had one Outpost run with 1 other team and 0 Rooks spawned. It was basically PVE.

This has confirmed some things. The games maps do not function well with the current number of teams. Outpost with 3 teams feels like an extraction shooter not TDM with spawn rushing 30 seconds in. You feel like you can actually get around the map and get stuff done without the need to spawn rush and clear the map to feel safe.

Perimeter with 2-3 teams feels a little lifeless and Dire with 2-3 teams feels empty. Also as much as people don't want to hear it the games PVE is not even close to engaging enough for a PVE mode without heaps of new enemies.

For the more "casual" players, games with only 3 teams total on Outpost and 4 on the other maps feels great. You can hit your first POI and not be in immediate danger of being spawn rushed.

Something for Bungie to consider for next season.

Every match is on foreign servers. Wait times are 10 minutes. Every match is nothing but purple shield death squads running around playing TDM. Outside of free kit que the game is basically unplayable. Any squad not in full gear just gets rolled over in milliseconds. Even if you think you are geared you are not when the gold mod ARES gangs turn up and 1 shot everyone while spamming 40 nades on perimeter.
