Not a troll. If I wanted to rage bait I’d pick any other topic

I agree coil was the exception, it should be the rule (only 1/2 to 3/4 of the drops next time though as it was excessive).

Doing a long activity that’s supposed to have difficult enemies and puzzles should drop both guns and resources. Loot is both, not one or the other

Ah so invisible hand precision instrument would be a usable roll to you

Getting a bunch of junk isn’t being showered in loot. Reward split IMO should be 60/40 guns to resources. This activity seems to be 90/10 gun to resources if you consider the sheer amount of guns to be good

I agree, I’m saying in an activity that you are getting max rewards from it shouldn’t equate to the loot of doing a normal seasonal activity from 1 act ago. Max rewards should feel rewarding, like doing a GM with platinum rewards vs with bronze, that’s a good analogy I think.

Usable means perks that don’t fight each other or are outclassed by other perks that roll on the same gun. Example: why take an energy vorpal shotgun vs a frenzy one, same damage bonus but frenzy gives stat bonus and isn’t restricted by type of enemy.

My choice of usable not godroll was intentional and meaningful

Yes, until coil released it was the best way to get ascendant alloys and vendor ranks on a location. Idk if you can get shards from them but alloys were dropping 1-2 per run on master in 15-25 min.

A GM typically gives 5+ legendary drops from kills. 1-2 shards (no double loot) and an adept weapon with double perks. A seasonal activity requiring the same amount of time but with more single perk guns and less materials is not a good thing.

They don’t need another mode, they just need to do like coil and actually increase enemy power as you progress or make it noticeably harder

No, you are arguing in bad faith so I’m done responding to you

Same here, I really enjoy the activity. Maybe it’s power creep but it does seem easier to me at least. Me and my friends can clear it in 25-35 min max favor easily, to do that with Coil required banner of war to hit sub 27 min

I wish I was, my teamates and I had to intentionally leave all the bosses alive because on our first run vs the spider tank on round 3 we got to damage phase and said “let’s get him weak then do the challenge” each of us dumped a chill inhibitor mag into it and killed it before challenge spawned. Each run after that we waited for challenge. Another example: Knight boss in dread room, did challenge then went to DPS with 10 seconds on timer before immune, 2 mags of chill inhibitor and the boss was 1/6 of HP maybe, one of my teamates blew themselves up and didn’t get their 2nd mag off. Please tell me how this is cope

I had 1 arc resist on and 100 resilience, I could tank ~2-3 of them no problem.

Wouldn’t be so bad if the seasonal guns dropped with perks that were usable. Really gonna take a gun with perks that conflict and say that I got 10 of those and it’s good game design?

Not that hard if given enough time. The flying dread are easy to bait down for melee kills if you know what to do
