The real problem with the strike-ified battlegrounds is they made all the numbers bigger so it takes longer to do a run. I generally liked the original version, they were fairly quick matches with a ton of shooting cabal but now there's a bunch of standing around waiting for drop pods so you can hit the 100% progress and get the next anti-generator greeble.

I know they have done their best to walk me through it with the quest prompts, but I just don't understand weapon crafting. I'm sure it will come to me eventually, but all these different currencies with wizard names and having to rotate through suboptimal weapons to get them is discouraging me from engaging with it.

The real cost of weapon crafting isn't in resources, it's in inventory slots filled with half-ground weapons

I guess if you leave them for later you might accumulate quite a few and it could get overwhelming, but I've just basically equipped any that drop right away, finish my next activity and they're basically done. Rip the stuff out and then assess if it's worth keeping on its own merits.

Activity completion gives a huge chunk of progress to equipped red weapons, so cycle them in near the end of a strike or crucible match or whatever. There's no need to be one of those nerds who does the most tediously efficient farming method.

Bungie should just leave Moco around all the time. Not only is it good for the dumb pvp catalyst stuff but it's just more fun pvp for me most times.

Yeah in my limited experience using one of the weapons throughout a strike and completing the strike yields about 80ish% completion. Load up vanguards ops and go ham.

The vanguard ops battlegrounds seem to be equivalent to the old director-picked battlegrounds, which were easier than the playlist versions. So it's easier to wipe entire squads quickly and have to wait around before the next one arrives

Cheap Trick posted:That's odd, to me the Battlegrounds felt like they took about the same time to complete as pre-WQ. Maybe people running strikes are even worse at killing than in the past because I swear it takes longer. There were also a couple points where I was standing around with nothing to shoot waiting for new spawns. When I did battlegrounds last season it felt like it was nonstop murder from zone into completion.

The vanguard battle grounds are insanely boring, IMHO. I don't think the strike Playlist has benefitted from adding them...

They're pretty much strikes by another name, it makes sense to add them. The strike playlist has been stale for years now, and still is.

Honestly it looks like some of them are great! (but WAY more are either underwhelming or literally do nothing which is lol) Also, are there alternative uses for Craftballs? Should I be using them for something else if not Enhanced Perks?

The catalyst is basically a very powerful perk so that tracks Still wish there was a way to get a complete picture of all the crafting resources you have that doesn't involve loading into the enclave

Ugh Streaks continue to be one of the worst ideas and implementations in a while You can see your inventory of all materials except uh.. I don't remember what it's called, but the thing you get +200 of with every Extraction. That one seems to require a trip to the Enclaive but all other materials are visible any time you can open your Inventory (or DIM!)

Activity streaks are better than win streaks but overall are still just not great. The only time it's worth it is when you really click with an activity and want to just grind it out for multiple sessions in a row but also deciding not to worry about other incidental things. Iron Banner weeks are amazing because I can just play and play and get 2 or 3 Crucible resets. Or next week when it's double Vanguard rep. I'll probably just get a whole reset in by switching between characters and weapons throughout the week because there is a ton of new content available in it.

The idea of streaks is OK but doing 5 activities in a row to max it out and then more to take advantage of it is a big time investment even for a game entirely defined by being a big time investment Any noncombat space that deletes your streak should be considered a bug

Convert streaks to keying off your K/D ratio so we can have tryhards in strikes raging that you caused a wipe and lowered their gains.

Streaks feel like a weird anachronism for the state of grinding. Like if anything it should be a boost for doing the first one instead of encouraging burn out by encouraging people to run a 6th consecutive strike or whatever.

Sure but then the initial boost is the expected baseline and after that, the perception is that you’re being penalized for continuing on. Damned either way.

Give me an immediate lump-sum boost of Rep for completing my 5th one in a row, and tell me "good job you did a max streak; go take a break" Don't make me do 5 to get warmed up and then design the Grind around the 6th+ run

so glad my useless warlock character still had an exotic cypher from a few seasons ago to pick up the vorpal DMT this weekend. Had to use a way old D2 app that lets you select old seasons to claim rewards.

Just got the Outbreak Perfected catalyst. It's been awhile since I used this gun, I forgot how great it feels. I just wished it had the full-auto update that the legendary pulse rifles got  . Does the catalyst make a huge difference on it?

Collateral Damage posted:Even without the catalyst it feels great thanks to the exotic primary and pulse rifle buffs. I just unlocked the catalyst and it seems like it just murders groups of enemies so much quicker now. It is kind of insane, but it does make me wonder if it will be any good at higher level mission. Edit: Grinding out the catalyst for Whisper and it's a little absurd. 5 kills for 1%. If it did not use heavy ammo I would not care too much, but come on .

I now have probably a dozen or so unfinished exotic catalysts that I simply have zero intention of ever grinding out
