If you think you can just randomly log in and raid, that’s your problem. Usually these things are somewhat planned as they can take a while especially if you haven’t done it before.

Look for raids on Tuesday/Wednesday night, raiding becomes more active right after the weekly reset and then dies down throughout the week.

The raid lair was great fun but too short. It's like a jumping puzzle, kill ads, run a short maze, boss fight.

It needed another encounter or two.

The raid lair concept is kind of a cool one. Fight your way into a throne room to show youre worthy, get access to more consumed world's to hone your skill to eventually get somewhere to do something but it's not exactly fleshed out and one boss fight and two sections of running through stuff is a bit weak for a paid expansion.

It would have all been fine if the forbidden Forrest actually had a point. When it first came out I half excepted/hoped it to be the new prison. Osiris serves as your guide as you fight in different vex created arenas and bosses and you get loot.

Would have been a better way to go.


They should bring back weapon bounties in pvp to shake up the meta a little bit. At least when they did that it gave you a reason to run around for a game with a pulse or doctrine.


I still think for 6v6 and the announced changes to work well the lethality of guns and movement needs to improve - particularly in air accuracy.

I mean yeah that would be nice but as I see it the masterwork situation has already kinda played itself out. I barely play this game and I have the only guns that matter masterworked up. I’ve had some fortunate rng in that I got an antipope, a Uriel’s and a curtain call to drop, but if you play with any frequency you’d have to be kinda set already.

Wait, is gun variety seriously one of the issues here? Like, there aren't a lot of guns in the FPS loot game?

Legs Benedict

the issue for a lot of people is that there are guns that are indisputably superior, which means that for those people once you get them and then a masterwork version with the stat roll you want, the Chase is over

the loot pool is technically larger (in terms of individual weapons to acquire) but functionally smaller (numerically less possibilities in that loot pool due to lack of random stats), which only exacerbates this issue

edit: also ABGD’s post below mine also touches on the sameyness of a lot of guns

Yeah the guns all feel the same and the only differentiating perks are explosive rounds and cluster bombs.

Most of the perk selection options are of the “slightly faster reload speed or 2 more rounds in the mag” variety. It sucks.

To add to this: For pvp your usual load out is based off two or three weapons and a partner for it or you're at a disadvantage.

Mida with a last hope or smg
Uriels with an smg
Or basically anything in the same archetype as those in similar slots.

It's rare to see someone run a handcannon and an smg for example.

I find myself running with a handcannon just for variety and something a bit different and you're at a deliberate disadvantage in doing so.

Pulses need a buff and handcannons should get an in air accuracy buff and more adjustments to the bloom.

That alone would shake things up.

It all circles back to bungie just going too far to mitigate the relatively minor problems with d1. Instead of trying one fix they smashed everything with 3 or 4 and now everything is vanilla and bland.

Nerfing doesn't so much improve variance as it just creates a new top dog and using usage numbers to justify it is ridiculously stupid. They could get a better balance done quite easily they just choose a worse method everytime.
