Why is it that every single loving time I start an activity, a random elite patrol just pops into existence right down the street from me and immediately opens fire on me? Having elites fire on me from both ahead of me and behind me gets real loving old

 What should I recalibrate, that swap speed (either rate of fire or damage to armor) or change breadbasket for something else? It's my backup for my LMG build, obliterate+unstoppable force (will change it for composure or whatever else like spark).

If you get downed please don't curl up on cover, it means I can't take cover there to safely revive your incredibly frustratingly stupid rear end. Just crawl back a little bit so I can hunker down and help you.

Tardigrade acquired, my patriot lmg build is online, or it will be when I finish my gunner research at least. It's still pretty strong though even without being totally optimal, I'm absolutely loving the patriot set bonuses and the tardigrade is possibly the best exotic in the game for team play.

So I've done Roosevelt Island on Challenging and on Hard...and the first time I did it I got credit for both the Manhunt and the Weekly, but it is not giving me credit for doing the Daily, which says to do Roosevelt Island on Hard or above. Do I need to sacrifice a loving goat or something? I don't get much time to play so this is very irritating, not to mention it keeps resetting my Manhunt progress so I can't get anywhere with that.

I've been trying to get the break all of basilisk's armor objective for the gunner field research for a solid half hour now, he always dies before i can break every piece. I'm 90% sure nobody even bothered testing this objective before implementing it because it's by far the hardest objective I've ever faced in this game and it's against an enemy I could defeat blindfolded. This is some godawful game design.

Well I've been at this for an hour and a half and I can't get more than 4 pieces broken on basilisk without him dying. This feels like a big scheme to trick people into buying the year 1 pass, make tiers 1-4 of the research doable and throw in a virtually impossible task on tier 5 to make sure people don't get it for free.

Oh interesting, they've changed the early-game flow somewhat since my last new character. Looks like they rearranged the first ~5 levels or so. Before it went Grand Washington Hotel (lvl 2) -> unlock SHD tech, safehouses, side missions, second special ability -> do some side stuff to level up -> Jefferson Trade Center (lvl 5). Now you don't get any of that stuff until after Jefferson Trade Center, which is now level 3. I wonder why they changed that, it flows so much worse this way. Now there's just a random part of the early game where the whole city is open to you but there's nothing to do in it because you haven't unlocked side missions and stuff yet.

I checked out the Theater safe house, did Jefferson, then went and picked up a couple of SHD caches. Now I'm level 5 and rocking an original M1. gently caress spray and pray, I can reliably get actual headshots with the M1. The flow seems ok to me coming at it fresh.

What kind of gun are you using? I had some trouble doing it myself, but I found using a rifle or a sniper rifle helped prevent stray bullets from eating into his health. I also found that his thigh armor wasn't appearing although I could shoot it to destroy it. I think using the riot foam to temporarily immobilize him would help, too.

I knocked it out after a few shots of vodka and a switch over to a hardwired build so i could oxidizer chem launcher the armor off, it hits all the pieces equally so that made it more consistent, though i did have to kite him around for a while. I got the specialization unlocked and now I can finally sleep.

Unless they changed it with WoNY, I found the flow to be great. I guess the part that breaks it for me is that before you could split your sidequests, you didn't have to do them all before doing Jefferson Trade Center. This is because side missions give you a flat 1/3 of the XP for your current character level, so you'd have some left over. You could do some before, and then some after to prepare for Waypoint Museum. Now you have to wait till after Jefferson to unlock side missions so there's this big level gap before you can do Waypoint. But who knows maybe they tweaked that as well, I guess I haven't played enough on this new guy to know if the reshuffling extends beyond the tutorial stuff.

They might've changed it with WoNY to be quite honest. I started playing like 4 weeks ago, but New York landed me on level 39 even though I had done all side missions (at least the ones that show by default). Last mission requires 40, so could be they use this pacing for DC as well now. In which case I agree that the pacing is off.

Somehow I missed the memo (and afaik, Massive did a poor job at communicating it) that you need to delete your level 30 exotics in order to get level 40 ones to drop. Would've been nice to know before I did 4 hours of Dark Zone for Pestilence.

I did a Dark Zone run and only encountered friendly players; when I initiated the extraction at the end, a bunch of them came out of the woodwork to put their own little packages on the rope and we all guarded it while it took off. I'm positive this won't ever change
