Just play a titan and switch to the striker subclass when it becomes available. It's rad as gently caress.

If we get a Spark with the DLC I am definitely making a Titan. Warlock is fun but I wanna shoulder slam dudes.

But they won't ever be empty anymore...? They'll just have the chance of getting a token reduced, but they'll always have glimmer. I imagine they mean a HUD element that shows you've hit the cooldown...

If you hit the "exploit safeguard" anytime you approach a chest Dregs should scuttle in and make off with it. Have a unique variation of that for each enemy. Then let people that still want it do a mini event for it, shoot those fast moving dregs so they drop your loot, maybe they dash off waving a token at you and using some fallen handsignal for gently caress yourself that waffles can use to decode an entire fallen sign language out of a puddle.

Everybody else who rightly doesn't give that much of a poo poo about 1 chest can move on to the next activity.

just noticed this gem too:

On the balance, Reputation required per Reward Engram will increase for Destination Factions (+37%) and Gunsmith (+50%)

So they're increasing the number of tokens and rep resource items we're getting... but also increasing the amount required to earn engrams. Those appear to be conflicting.

I understand what they did, they tried to save themselves a lot of tuning work.

They created a system to provide a unit of reward per a unit of time based on scale factors on average time between rewards received while also trying to limit or remove exploits for optimal repetition of behavior.

Except:

1. It didn't work, see faction token exploits.
2. It forces the system to either lie or confuse the player. Either you keep reward indicators constant; i.e 500xp for a successful heroic public event even when you aren't, or you constantly change the amount of xp gained/displayed per event and confuse the poo poo out of everyone.

So, what it sounds like they are doing now is set everything constant and then go back an tweak every single payout based on the statistical evidence accumulated since launch.

Just maxed out on the trial for xbone, seems like a lot of fun. Can I realistically play this here and there and get enough out of it, or is it something I have to really devote time to, like a normal mmorpg?

D2 is 100% built to play here and there, there's probably 100-150ish hours of content in game right now and nothing except the raid requires a huge time investment

Playing it here and there is probably better than devoting a ton of time to it, it'll take you longer to cap out and they may have fixed the endgame by then.

Yeah there’s a few insanely annoying and aggravating things (vault system sucks, mods suck, rng everywhere, no compass or teammates on waypoints, ridiculous loot lockouts) but provided you only play the campaign once and don’t wanna play crucible ever it’s an okay game.
