And Grenade Launchers, because they can easily punish hiding in cover, which ruins the "peek, shoot, cover, repeat" cycle that has been so firmly drilled into their brains.

As a bad-at-PvPer I'm sure I've caused unintended rage by using Witherhoard, wave frame grenade launchers, and anything else with relatively long-lived splash damage

I gotta say this wellspring poo poo really sucks an rear end. I got very little time to play today and got one wellspring in, which dropped a come to pass, which was NOT red bordered, so I'm still gonna be two short, to be able to craft it, for this quest, until it comes around again on a day I can grind. In addition at some point I gotta do the same for tarnation. All this to unlock what I really want: the exotic glaive quest. Putting things behind one layer of schedule and two of RNG is a really lovely thing to do.

Wellspring is what happens when Bungie hits a story out of the park, everyone riding high on the game. Then someone decides they need to balance it out with soul crushing aggravation by making a miserable six man activity that is only tolerable every other day and requires a dozen or more runs to get the stuff you need for quest completion.

The only time Wellspring is fun is the very first time you do Defend and jump off that balcony, and then it is forever worse than all the other destination activities currently in the game

It's wild to me that bungie thought I'd want to do this more than 9x times, ever, period, and also that Attack takes three times as long as Defend

It's like a perfect design to instill resentment in the player base. Giving me Reckoning vibes. Honestly I'm surprised the problem is people being too eager to push forward to kill things - I really expected there to be more AFKers by now.

Yeah it's not season content, there's no reason to rush it unless you got a drive to clear out the list of chores. We got years to finish that junk. Granted while psiops is time gated there's not much to do there either. I guess some of the guns are fun but the three man activity is a one or two runs tops before it's time to go do something else.

It's less about rushing it and more that it stone cold sucks to do it, period. If I need to run 30 Wellsprings it doesn't bring me any joy to think that I could be doing them in 2023, too Gotta do your Chores eventually; may as well clear 'em off the List

It hurts less if you do 1% per week of pulling the bandaid. And also maybe Bungie will make it less lovely sometime this year.

They added guaranteed weapon/redframe weapon drops after a long enough dry spell to Wellspring last Thursday and apparently running ~5 Normal Wellsprings has a good chance of giving you two redframes! Master Wellspring, by most reports, drops More Guns, Fewer Redframes, per hour

I ground out the patterns over the last few days, on normal difficulty: 12 runs to get 3 snipers 13 normal and one master to get 3 bows 3 normal and 2 master for 1 gl (I already had one frame from earlier) 4 normal and 2 master for the auto. I must have had some amount of frames already done but I can't remember exactly. this is just looking at bungie's website. I think one or two of the masters were failed attempts as well actually.

Wasn’t Wellspring supposed to have 9 guardians? At the very least that would have given the activity something unique.

Wellspring does feel sorta designed for 9, with some stuff having 3 lanes to defend or 3 zones to cap etc

It's true. When I wandered into trials to gun farm my best friend that weekend was a well rolled rapid fire fusion. It didn't make me good mind you, just remotely a threat.

The only thing about wellspring I'm not a fan of is the people running ahead which just slows down the whole thing. The first few times I did it everyone stayed on the cart, the enemy flow felt constant, and it was a great time. Now half the group spawn camps doors and everyone is miserable. They need to bring over the pervading darkness debuff from the raid/perseverance and punish people for not playing the objective, they won't because then people will complain but it'd be good. The rest of the activity is good and fun though imo.

I like the Wellspring, it's chill PVE activities and I use it to knock out Gunsmith bounties. With the number of red-bars, it gives me the Dynasty Warriors feeling that Battlegrounds also does.

Yeah, basing the completion of a quest on a few very specific combination of drops was a very Bungo decision.

much like nightmare hunts, wellspring was cool to engage with for a few days and is no longer interesting because it's frequently full of rushing tryhards tying a RNG crafting quest to its drops sucks a lot and was a terrible move the quest wouldn't be so bad if fynch could just. give you the loving guns. but apparently his engrams only drop what you've already earned, so that's pretty useless

"Tryhards" are only rushing forward because the activity is boring and the only way to have any hint of fun is run ahead and shoot stuff as it pops out of a spawn door. It's a bad activity that's completely unsalvageable, and I hope the interns that created it stay awake at night feeling bad for what they did.

This is one of those times where I was completely baffled by the hatred until I realized that it comes from people who have been binging Wellspring since release. To me it just feels like a mediocre seasonal activity.

Kinda hate people who rush forward and clear out everything on the first stage of defend because -someone- needs to stay in the zone. Crafting system definitely feels laden with "oh no if people get the recipe too quickly, random drops become meaningless" yes I thought that was the point

I too am puzzled by everyone complaining they cant craft every weapon with every possible perk the first week. Wellspring sucks tho. it's half assed "we need SOMETHING" But it's in that weird thing where there are tons of dudes to murder but with 5 other guardians making everything explode in .2 seconds with all the void explosion stuff it makes you want to be at the front instead of "doing the thing"

I like the defend wellspring but really do not like the attack one. Attack feels longer and is not as fun. But I do need to do some more grinding to get the weapons from there so I can be done with it.

The only fun part in the attack mode is people getting instantly obliterated by ogre jizz when someone revives them because they didn't jump for cover fast enough.
