What in your opinion are the good uses of emotes???

The WoW that people got addicted to is not the WoW they are playing anymore. I’ve tried on two separate occasions to resub and WoW is seriously a shadow of how fun it used to be.

The only good mmo is (was) city of heroes and it should come back exactly how they left it. I literally have dreams once or twice a year of getting through the login screen and super jumping around the city

The private City of Heroes server was recently exposed and you can definitely go play it right now if you have a computer and a rudimentary understanding of how files work.

Taunting opponents on the other team before a Gambit match, or the one where you gesture wildly while your teammate just loving HAS to get ONE MORE MOTE before banking to summon the Primeval.. Or dicking around in the tower.

Also, I was mostly being sarcastic as I don't generally have the give-a-poo poo to emote after blasting someone in the face in Crucible.

Bungie really needs to step up their emote game for D3. Freeze players into the emote until the animation completes and the game zooms to a freeze frame of your killer so you're forced to witness them taunting you.

Oh and a column in the post game scoreboard for taunts issued.

Wow that's ugly.. I know it's a standard for Bungie but it's pieces of other ships smashed together, not worth the effort at all.

Apparently this mission was 7 months worth of effort. I guess it was a really small team that constantly playtested and tweaked the hell out of this because even when their engine was apparently terrible in the D1 days they had a video showing the moon patrol zones being made that was incredibly quick and easy, and that was brand new assets unlike this. Bungie says the Whisper mission took 4 months in comparison.

I leveled up light on one character only so I could do zero hour. I'm wondering if they're gonna update the Drifter catchup bounties to 690, at least after the raid is beaten

They're going to put the 690 bounties on the raid robot but not remove the drifter bounties so there's a steady stream of people coming back to the game, boosting themselves to 640, and going "god dammit now I have to do that again?"

I made my Titan character about a week and a half ago, used the instant-level-30 boost from when I bought the annual pass, and as soon as I leveled him to 50 non-powerful armor legendaries started dropping at 655-665 without having to do the power surge bounties.

You genuinely need to try to be under 680 right now if you play more than like 2 hours a week.

Tonight I finally got the stupid Gambit rank reset I needed for the 21% Delerium, which was way more stressful than necessary because of a possibility I might not be able to play for a while before the Season reset and would have to do the stupid bullshit all over again.

The most stressful thing I'll have to do now is either get the team wipe (or teammates doing it 3 times) for Malfeasance. Good news is you can apparently do it in Prime now (the previous 10 wins/% motes quest step works, which wasn't always the case). Which is good because I don't like OG Gambit after playing Prime.

If you're diligent at doing the public service bounties and have enough time left in the season, you barely need to actually do Gambit to hit max rank, especially if you have multiple characters to do them on. Between the public service bounties, prime bounties, and regular bounties, winning is a lot less important than it used to be.

I can see the appeal in being able to comeback in round 2 after a bad round, but most times I just want a bad round to be over and move on to the next game. Although comebacks in Prime can be very satisfying.

Regular gambit is actually pretty fun right now if you solo queue. I've had good luck lately not getting four stacks and when you got 8 complete randos in the game together it's all pretty chill. My biggest complaint is the loot, they should have cranked up the drop rate on gambit specific guns now that it's old content.

Not the fastest way to get those envoy kills either, stick to prime if you wanna work on delirium.

All I know is that when it's time to get that full team wipe, it's Colony time.

Prime is still half baked to me. Literally nothing before the Primeval phase matters. You can bank all your motes before they bank a single one and your team can still lose.

At the engagement ranges you'll be seeing when you invade, you'll be way better off with a stable blast furnace and a hammerhead/ thunderlord. 1kv if you have it. Colony sucks for invading, as far as I've seen.

I did the team wipe thing in regular Gambit. I found it to be pretty easy as you don't have as many people that are super serious about being MLG invaders like you do in Prime.

Malfeasance seems cool but the quest is loving stupid. I couldn't believe that after the part previous to what you mentioned (I forget the details, but it involved a very annoying strike boss) there was MORE.

Yeah you have to deposit X motes (losing them counts as double lost toward the goal) and get 10 wins (Prime is fastest for that). THEN is the kill 25 player and team wipe (or three by teammates). Like they couldn't have combined those somehow?

Last part will definitely be in normal Gambit

I think the AoO requirement for Malfeasance is changed or bugged.

I went in a couple weeks ago intent on finishing the quest. I was all geared up to be full time invader boy but dorks on my team would grab the portal instantly and I'd never get a chance to do my job. Drifter would blab about 2 kills or whatever but never a team wipe. And when I finished the game progress on that bar had advanced. :iiam:

Guys, I've not played this game in a year and recently got the itch. I don't have Forsake or the Annual Pass so is it worth dropping money on this game again or should I save my precious monies? People keep trying to tell me this game is fun now.
