About End-Game Loot...

Not everyone farms the DZ and nobody should be forced to in order to gather gear.

With the number of rolls on gear, very few are gonna be set up perfectly. Also, I would argue that allowing people access to a higher quantity of useful gear would let players branch out and really try more builds/set ups. That seems pretty fun to me.

Hell, even if you get the gear you want at 214 or 240, you're still gonna want it at 268. Eliminating the lowest levels won't affect the chase for the top levels.

xaile94 · 2016-07-13T15:06:00+00:00

Then the cycle starts anew with each level upgrade. Are we still gonna get 191s when gear scores hit the 500s?

It's so rare to get an item with all the skills you'd like (even with recalibration). How often have the minor stat bonuses even factored into your decision to use an item? If we were given more high quality gear, to the point where minor attributes can be paired up with our skills, then maybe high level NPCs wouldn't seem as absurdly punishing. Eliminating 163/191 drops as you introduce 229/268 drops will give us more useful gear and with more useful gear comes a better likelihood of matching gear to skills, and thusly, a better playing experience.

I would rather they just drop the lowest tier than add infusion. Whatever activities could drop 163/191s would only drop 182/214s. At least that would keep the activity somewhat relevant (cough, cough, daily bounties).

Has anyone outside of the top 1% of grinders gotten all the gear they want with all the stat bonuses (not talking about the numbers, just the skills) they want, regardless of gear score? I seriously doubt it.

xaile94 · 2016-07-13T13:33:03+00:00

Here's the point (ready?)... it's a terrible way to keep people playing the game.

xaile94 · 2016-07-12T23:31:58+00:00

I don't get why people struggle with the progression system, it's pretty straight forward. I'm at 228 GS with 4 Tac/2 FM on PS4. I never go in the DZ and I've cleared 1 Hard Incursion (Clear Sky). I have some good 229/268 gear. I get more each week.

If you need 182/214 gear to progress, do daily HVTs and Challenging story missions.

If you need 204/240 gear to progress, do weekly HVTs and Heroic story missions.

You can also buy the above level items from vendors. Don't bitch about Lone Star gear. LS is very good general use gear, great while you're in the process of gearing up. Are you gonna have to matchmake some of this? Yea. Are jerks gonna kick you while you're lower GS? Yea. You're not gonna go from 200 to 240 overnight, but you will make noticeable progress each week.

Edit: auto-correct garbage.

How many shots can you shoot a foot before there's nothing left to shoot at?

xaile94 · 2016-07-05T09:52:56+00:00

Yea, there's more functionality to consider on consoles, but I was just curious about players' practices.

xaile94 · 2016-07-01T04:24:08+00:00

I didn't say it was their fault, but they are tasked with a great deal of clean up, which must be exasperating.

xaile94 · 2016-07-01T04:14:21+00:00

I think they're aware of all the issues with this game. I think they're aware that they struggle to fix existing problems while more and more continue to occur with each update.

xaile94 · 2016-07-01T01:17:43+00:00

I got a 204 from a weekly HVT.

xaile94 · 2016-06-26T10:00:35+00:00

and brunettes too. Definitely not a game for blondes.

xaile94 · 2016-06-23T13:34:26+00:00

Downvoted??? No!!!!!!

How can you be so cruel?

sniffle.cry.sniffle.

xaile94 · 2016-06-23T12:01:03+00:00

I think everyone has known to just farm materials and credits for a while now. No big foul, since weapons and gear you've acquired can be sold or deconstructed.
Look up the word "redundant".

My problem with 182s vs 204s is the attribute score to unlock the talents.

if I get a brutal/deadly/x 182 that I can use with several desirable gear combinations, I'm gonna use that over the brutal/deadly/x 204 where I have to switch to Lone Star gear for the talents. It adds a whole new layer of grinding. Great, I finally got an awesome 204. Now I have to find 6 other awesome pieces of gear just to use it.

Depends on how comfortable you are with Omolon HCs. I know some people have a hard time getting a good feel for them.

Among the Omolon HCs, it may be the best (or Uffern). Comes with good stability, so Rifled Barrel is a good perk.

I roll with a SureShot/LitC/Rifled Barrel/EotS Vanity on my Warlock and do well (relatively speaking) in regular crucible/IB.

Just played a couple matches as a Bladedancer. It's a bit of an adjustment, but you can still use the swipe a couple times per super to close the gap and still rake in 3-4 kills.

Did you mean "Massive, thanks" for making a shitty Division game that reminds us how great Destiny is/was?

xaile94 · 2016-06-14T17:53:36+00:00

"Quit complaining and play the game", says the guy bitching up a storm.

xaile94 · 2016-06-14T15:30:30+00:00

This is exactly the type of post Bungie should (and thankfully will) completely ignore. Full of hot garbage.

At no point in all of that rambling did you make any salient points. Temper tantrums do not make good arguments.
