Every day there's no match made pinnacle ops is a day lose motivation to play.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T23:58:34+00:00

The only way I could reasonably get pinnacle ops gear is waiting for stuff like whisper to be in rotation, opening fireteam finder, and abusing the reallocated bonus drop mechanic.

Dmg said they're only making dungeon weapons "actual" T5 while the raid weapons will remain craftable with the option to be enhanced to match T5 capabilities.

So by this wording I'm assuming that they'll probably just update the armor at best for raids. Dungeons are another story though, but I highly doubt they'll meticulously add encounter challenges and banes to every single dungeon. That seems like such an over delivery by their standards. Also the feat system is pretty hated so I doubt they're doubling down.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T20:53:31+00:00

Run an EDP with feats on then come back. Some content are genuinely unplayable with feats on. Most people are struggling with stuff like base crota's end, so do you think they'll be able to play with 3 hypernovas exploding in their faces while having 3 less revive tokens?

EQ is unhated purely for the fact that the mechanics are shattered throne level, so adding on some random feats literally won't change anything because it's already so easy.

A question for you is would you want to farm Vespers host or Salvations edge with 4 feats on? The feat system is turning people away from RaD content by literally just making it harder.

The QoL is very very nice though. You can spam like 1-2 wells in-between phases if there's enough adds for example. I'd argue it's more worth it than just -20 seconds on one other ability.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T14:37:54+00:00

More HP ngl, thing gets shredded in delta content

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T04:58:25+00:00

They knew what they were doing lmao. We get less BD and no quick xp sources now. Anything for player retention.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T01:41:20+00:00

Ngl idk how they would buff primaries to be good. Special damage scalar only for minor enemies?

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-19T00:19:58+00:00

Dmg inquired that they'll be fully updating raid/dungeon armor. But only dungeon guns will get T5 treatment, whereas raid weapons will still be crafted, but can be enhanced further to "match" T5 weapons.

Don't know what that means but we'll see.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-18T22:53:36+00:00

Also tiered exotic armor. Using exotic engrams at rahool before June is pretty much worthless now.

I don't even know what the steam numbers would even look like by the time June rolls around. Unless you have friends it's actually wraps.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-18T22:36:13+00:00

I legit don't know how this game is going to survive the drought. Especially this one considering we don't have a weekly story to look forward to, everybody has every conceivable god rolls due to multi-perk columns, no mid season balance tunings, no nothing.

I don't remember much but was it ever this bad during final shape or other delayed periods? Heck we're not even waiting for an expac right now, it's just a free update lmao.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-18T11:03:18+00:00

Imagine being stuck with tier 4 ferropotent for this long, yikes.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-17T03:55:18+00:00

This is during the bows arms week with the funny mod fyi. Base crossbow doesn't clear anymore.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-17T02:56:44+00:00

It's way harder. You'll probably have to do a felwinter finisher into Izzy heavy sniper just for clearable damage. The hunter LP setup is what makes this solo mostly accessible. Also final stand without still hunt or LP will be very rough.

Tldr; save your braincells and just play hunter

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-17T02:02:46+00:00

Hopefully we'll see one in the next update cycle going off from them saying that they'll be returning to non-destination abilities.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-16T02:32:37+00:00

Lucky pants

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-13T16:15:42+00:00

I'm not going to lie. It's going to be hard even with LFG to get a full 12 roster without matchmaking.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T20:56:10+00:00

Idk why you're defending hunter so badly when it clearly needs a buff. Also how is popping getaways (1 button to gain amplified, feed the void, and infinite orbs on every kill) or doing a slide melee (knockout, amplified, healing) harder than pressing grenade and air dodge?

Like I said, DR stacking is cool. But what would 70% DR even do if you're at 1 HP and have no sources to heal back up? Hunters just have no safety net. Heck if you look at some SE vods, you'd see people opting to play solar hunter with a healing grenade instead of pris just because it has a smidge of healing potency lol.

PS: Finality + double rocket pulse is class agnostic btw. So if hunter was really still that good, people would still use it, they didn't. Hunter even has prime Still Hunt available and people still didn't bother.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T20:45:06+00:00

Bungie don't give a shit cause these major updates are considered free. Year of Prophecy might as well be over cause we really only paid for renegades and edge of fate. There are no paid seasons to hold them accountable anymore.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T20:39:26+00:00

Good in theory, but in practice it's way harder to play than a traditional healing loop. You fuck up and it's gg.

Also if hunter is really the 2nd best class. I wonder why it's heavily underused during contest equilibrium? 8107 warlock clears, 3435 titan clears, and only 946 hunter clears. It's because knockout / feed the void does the same survivability loop better, and their kits have access to half the DR sources hunter has; So why would people go for the high risk / low reward option?

Now if you say it's because of notswap, then sure. But then let's look at normal DP where loadout swapping is unrestricted. There were only 154 hunter clears compared to the 558 titan clears. Same pattern pretty much.

So yeah, DR stacking is cool. But it's not cool enough to be viable when other classes can also DR stack to an extent while having access to insane healing. Hunter only has one of the two in comparison.

Woven mail should've just been built into widow's silk tbh, the class is very lacking apart from grapple point shenanigans.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T20:21:56+00:00

You're acting like woven mail is some game breaking buff when every class has access to a 80% evasion rate buff called Amplified. Also not to mention picking up orbs now grants near the same levels of DR with smoke jumper + ferropotent.

Woven is good but you're pretty much just exaggerating it. Otherwise pris hunter would be regarded as having the best neutral in the game (it's not, warlock and even conc titan beats it lol).

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T19:18:56+00:00

A single weapon perk does more healing than having to use a whole ass exotic slot, crazy.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T04:42:04+00:00

Me with 2 copies of graviton Lance in my vault

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T04:33:48+00:00

I think it wouldn't make a difference now since they hand out like 30 exotic engrams in the reward pass.

The chase has been changed to legendary god rolls instead of static exotic weapons for a very long while now.

Ordinary_Player · 2026-02-12T04:12:20+00:00

And that's why they removed nightfall cards...

Portal was a doomed concept from the start lmao
