haveblue posted:Tokens have their uses but the primary source of rewards is not it. D1 had tokens but they were part of the much larger hodgepodge of relatively diverse loot systems so we didn't mind so much. They tried to replace reputation from D1 with tokens in D2. There are lots of good reasons behind it (cross character portability, decide when to level vendors, etc) but the downsides of how it affects the core reward processes are too much. This isn't one of those where I get too upset thoygh, because it's bad but might have been fine with better guns or rng rolls or whatever.

I don't have a problem with tokens from Crucible or Iron Banner but why am I finding faction tokens in a chest in an ancient cave A better use would be materials (like "Dusklight Cache") that you could either use for reputation or for crafting (like the CoS Forge) or modding

At least wait until the crypto bubble bursts so you aren't paying 300% markup for a GPU.

+1 for xim. Although the prices on those are inflated at the moment, too, as haveblue said not nearly as bad as GPUs, ha. I'm also convinced that with some of these deals that pop up every so often, you can get a decent gaming rig for sub $500. I got a deal a few months ago on an HP with a gtx1060, i5, 8gb ddr4 for $300. Just the card is worth that right now. What a weird time to be alive.

Anecdotal, but I play pvp on PC all the time and have no problem finding matches, and it's not as bad as he says, at least for me. The population definitely isn't as high as it is on consoles, but that hasn't made as much of a difference in matchmaking times as you might guess.

i still pvp on PC a decent amount and i doubt if it ever takes more than three minutes to get a pretty close match, and i'm actually good at the game. if you're bad you'll get matches in seconds.

What are the good Titan pvp exotic armors? Been playing with my Titan for only the second day now and I'm getting the hang of it swiftly enough. Mostly Hammerbro. Currently got Alpha Lupi on because I like utilitarian stuff, and I don't have to swap up for subclass changes. Hallowfire Heart looks deec if you want to throw grenades on a D1 cooldown.

why would you make it a one-hit-kill body? that would make them better than snipers at being snipers, better than fusion rifles at being fusion rifles, and only slightly worse than shotguns at being shotguns. i think the flinch reduction in pvp has mostly made them where they should be, though i wouldn't mind a little more flinch reduction still.

cvnvcnv posted:What are the good Titan pvp exotic armors? dunemarchers are a good neutral game exotic, war rig is solid in pve. solar horn exotic isn't actually a hammerbro exotic and can be gimmicky fun given you can get titan wall cooldowns very low with mods. i still need to try jetpack boots with the go fast changes. i keep dunemarchers on for most of the time. they're not the most impactful exotic around but it makes gameplay feel a good bit nicer, and if there's not something specific you're trying to accomplish you could do worse than using a pair.

It is harder to change up and hit precision than aim a sniper and they don't offer any significant chance to follow up a shot if you body somebody. Drop the ammo to 2-3 shots and I think they are would be a viable 1 shot long range weapon, which makes they stand out from fusions and shotguns at the intended range. More like a spartan laser than a fusion rifle.

Bungie's Razor tells us that when presented with multiple explanations for why something is the way it is in Destiny 2, you should go with the one that implies the greatest degree of incompetence.

Tanking my meaningless stats but Mayhem is stellar for starting on a new class, learning how to move, 'nade and pop supers. Glad it's around, tho I don't think I'll touch it again after this week, until I start pvp with my Warlock. But drat does Mayhem necessitate MW armor. That poo poo made me commit my cores quick.

My issue with the "Eververse conspiracy theory" is that the normal drop armor and faction armor are all better than the Eververse armor. I could fully believe greed was a motive, but if it was, they were too dumb about implementing things worth buying. And side arms can roll: +5 Stability +10 Magazine (that's one extra burst from Last Hope) +10 Reload +10 Handling
