Mailer posted:I mean yeah, as much as I'm always boosting while traveling. Is this one of those lovely design things where you need to just sit in one area because it takes a long time to populate the instance? I guess that'd at least cut it down to doing one every 15 minutes or so, assuming other people are there. I've tried waiting full timers out and no one ever shows. Maybe Nessus/EDZ aren't hotbeds anymore? What's happening is that the game is only looking for instances with players in them while you're in the zone exit area (the hallway/canyon/whatever where the area name fades in and changes to something else). Go through there too fast, it gives up and spawns you a new empty one. If you want to maximize your chance of finding people, go slowly through there.

[quote="“Emron”" post="“476500673”"] It limits the activities available to you to increase your power level, and therefore extends the content unless you grind it out. [/quote] I get that, but my understanding is that while the soft cap hits at 265, when you go past it a certain amount, it starts to creep up, but far enough behind that it presumably has no effect on your level at that point. I’m curious as to why it moves at all rather than staying at 265.

Also makes for easy passable infusion fodder if you get pieces that you like, but are low power level (like the trials clan rewards that are level 10, etc...)

From a flawless card, I got: - pulse -sidearm -auto rifle -shotgun -gloves -bond -emblem (both the flawless one and the regular trials wins tracking one) -shitloads of shaders Trials loving showers you in powerful gear, it seems like. I really like the new aesthetic, too. Is the AR good? Just shooting it in the spire, it felt really stable.

It's the 450 archetype which is nice right now so yes. It's got a little less range than the uriels but it's pretty stable and good if you don't have an uriels.

You can potentially grind your light up to the value of your highest equipment if you farm enough exotic engrams (as infusion fodder), and if you did that would help you a lot. But the only things that drop above base light over 265 are powerful gear rewards and nightfall/raid rewards, which all drop at +5 your base light. The various exotic weapon quests drop at +5 too I believe. So the best thing to do is to make sure all of your gear has a base light equal to or greater than random blues/purples that you pick up before you take your next powerful reward. You can usually squeeze 1 to 2 extra light out of your reward if you do that. Rubellavator fucked around with this message at 02:04 on Sep 18, 2017 |

It's also handy that Xur only wanted a bunch of shards I had in my inventory doing nothing.

Trials AR is legit better than Uriel's in every way except the little bit of range, which is basically irrelevant.

For me Prosecutor feels better than Uriel's but worse than The Number, and they all basically have identical stats. The highlighting scope is tops but other than that, they all seem so close that it would come down to aesthetics.

If it capped at 265 you'd never have a reason to play again because everyone is 270 (base 265) a week in.

Welp.. that was even 3 days ago. Ultimate Mango posted:How many skulls did you get to do so? With how many people in there shooting the skulls? 3 in, 3 out. I don't know for sure how many stacks, but we were averaging about 60-70. Burn down his shield most of the way and just leave it up as long as you can.

I dunno in the current Mida clusterfuck that range and the highcal seems to make a bit of difference. I havent used the prosecutor a whole bunch. actionjackson posted:I haven't been able to get more than one win in trials yet We had one person sometimes two running a scout and me and another using auto rifles. We just out team shot them. You've got to run in a pack and rotate a lot. We'd push the lower area every time we attacked because there's plenty of cover and went top and rotated round every time we defended. Grenades and push or team shoot and rotate. The good thing about this map and game mode is you either get the plant and camp it and call out where theyre pushing or when its planted you close the distance and throw grenades to weaken and then push. We still lost some rounds to getting picked and stuff but most of the time anyone who's locked into mida isnt going to be good under pressure so handcannon and smg were strong with the push.
