I did mercury for an hour before the servers went down, and while I didnt do the campaign for coo yet, I feel like I saw everything mercury had to offer.

I appreciate having another different area to go romp around in but lol holy poo poo I feel bad for anyone who dropped... 15? 20 bucks? on that dlc.

It was pretty bad

Despite not having played for at least a month and a half I am still going to give this xpac a chance. This is of course because I stupidly have already paid for it but why not lean in to the sunk cost fallacy?

Protect children from "Safe Schools" social engineering. Shame!

I feel good that I didn't get the season pass but I very much did enjoy my time shooting guns in this game. I'll be eagerly reading this thread for how bad the expansion is.

I'm planning on at least giving all my exotics another play and doing the story missions. Doubt I'll get back into the "log on each week and do the same 4 strikes again and again to try to increase an imaginary number which has no impact on your game experience at all", but you know.

lol what is with the crucible playlist thing? What the hell is wrong with the way it worked in D1? (other than I guess at this point there might not be enough players to support choosing a particular gametype).

IIRC, Sweet Business does low, low, LOW damage. Larger magazine isn't gonna do much for me.

EDIT: lol wait, all they're doing is increasing the RESERVES? What happened to their "we don't want to nerf Vigilance Wing; we want to Buff all the exotics to its level!"

Sweet Business with Actium War Rig means Titans can fire it for a very long time without watching the reloading animation. Warlocks with Lunafaction Boots can fire the hell out of it forever until the reserves are gone.

So it is pretty good still if you play two of the game's three classes and are willing to work your exotic armor choice around it. Hunters should just find something else they enjoy.

It IS worse than CoO. It shits all over some of the best hive lore in the game, and it doesn't even introduce you to fun characters and decent boss fights. Do you even meet Ana Bray's ghost? I kind of glazed over because the story was so stupid and inconsequential.

Seriously if they had anybody with any talent still writing over there they would have done something interesting with the deep (other than a hilariously stupid cutscene) and save Xol for a hive raid.

At least it doesn't make you run through the infinite forest several times.

Here's a new exotic SMG I got:



The portion of your magazine it refunds (it generates it, not taking it from reserves) is half, BTW. It has a fairly long but classy-looking reload animation. It also has rampage and ricochet rounds. The perfect mook-murderer.
