I would be really happy to get any of that from playing Heroic strikes. No loving way am I banging my head against Prestige Nightfalls for any of that stuff.

You don't like reskined weapon with static rolls and cosmetic items/armor?!?

Im shocked. Shocked i say!

Grasp was just a reskin of Oversoul Edict, a cool and good static roll weapon

I have no problem grinding the upcoming NFs. I look forward to it? Getting everything is gonna be cool, and it gives me a pve goal until DLC2.

Not saying any of the loot is actually bad but there's nothing on the level of a Black Spindle or a Grasp in the lot. Everything looks solid but nothing that wouldn't be a go-to over absolutely anything else I already have.

And regarding cosmetic stuff, things like that are fine but are best when guaranteed from completing a specific and difficult challenge. Like getting an exotic sparrow if you do a flawless with X number of points or whatever. The way it is, if I see someone with that new exotic sparrow, they could have got it on the first try with the minimum number of points, so it doesn't mean as much as if it came from some specific accomplishment.

i don't know the aa on the sniper but it's god tier either way, zoom factor of around 5x, which pretty handily beats alone as a god while also being a much higher impact.

Yeah sparrow/ghost/ship for strike specific loot is extremely weak. Didn't most strikes in D1 have a weapon AND a piece of armor?

Prestige nfs are fun imo since you can adjust difficulty and get booted to orbit if everyone dies

Try playing solo instead of on a full stack at all times. It's no surprise the other teams drop out when they see you guys.

I can't say I blame them, but to be fair we or I have never left a game either no matter the opponent and the make up of their team or how bad it's going.

Though it's getting to the point now where it's rare for other stacks to stick around in match making.

In the aus community at least most players at the pointy end at least know of each other and some teams actively avoid playing a hard game.


Playing solo is insanely frustrating with the way some pubs play whereby they'll literally run away from a 2v2 gun fight leaving you stranded. You have to completely change everything you do compared to playing with 2 or 3 team mates.

Rumble is kind of cool but can be super frustrating when things start to snowball.

I'm not sure I get the darkest before love. Last perdition has better stability, reload speed and handling. It has slightly worse range, but it also has rampage. I'm using one with two energy recoil mods and a range masterwork and it's pretty solid.

Those are different archetypes, aren't they? I think darkest before has worse stability because it has a faster time to kill...

imo hiding extremely good guns in Trials where those of us who are bad can't get them is really, really offensive. Bigoted, even. Is it the greatest human rights violation of all time? Maybe. Maybe it is.

Thats not even being elitist btw, it’s just that having clan engrams further dilutes the pool of players. If they don’t have to suffer through to get the loot, why would they?
