Destiny 2: Warmind |OT| Mars Attacks!
- Thread starter ImperatorPat
- Start date
this is what i have been saying since the start. or at least make it so when you attain a glory rank, you can't drop lower than it. as in, if you rank from 0 to 1, you stay at 1 regardless of how many times you lose, and so on.
the current system makes no sense.
So it's got the exact same problems as the past instances? Great.
Something I'll probably never get then. Great.

Make sure you know where the pillars are and start it quickly after a public event that had 4-5 people there.
Randoms may be able to get past the level 1 boss, although you won't finish the event. I usually stick around and try to help when someone does that but a lot of fails too.
Of course if you can get two friends to join your fireteam you'll have a better time getting past wave 1.
If you're not just trying to clear the first round for the IKELOS quest it sounds like you're gonna need to get 9 people in voice chat together based on what people are saying in this thread...
Melting point, tractor cannon debuff and multiple people unloading shotguns. With void singe and Heavy weapons do more damage modifier on prestige nightfall.
I've been playing since launch and I still didn't get any Catalysts, what am I doing wrong?

The current system is the absolute worst implementation of a point system I can recall. It's like thorn x100.
I just hope they tweak it. Losing and getting 0 points is still a penalty and it can happen a decent bit with how the matchmaking goes. That in itself is still a serious grind, but the losing streak is atrocious
I have spent multiple days now building up 150 points or more just to lose it in a massive losing streak because guys quit, or I'm constantly against 4 stacks..
Yeah the dropoff is real. Population at least for me is starting to go back to pre Warmind. Certain people got their fill. The hardcore will continue to play.
I would suggest that you should lose points for quitting and disconnects. Because otherwise you'll have the IB 1.0 thing of everyone quitting out the moment the opposition gets a small lead.
Otherwise I agree wholeheartedly.
Oh absolutely, I agree. And if they're dead set on points loss just make it a static -5 per match. This still makes it a serious grind without just watching hours be lost in a matter of minutes at times due to losing streaks
And they also need to take some sort of care in teams that lose players, like... Even if it pauses the match to let a disconnected player return to the fireteam within 2 minutes, or it pulls someone in.
Its what has added to my insanity the last few days in tryin to solo it, I'd turn a bad losing streak around just to get into a match where it starts and someone quit on the way in, or people quit the first wave of battle and then the whole match can be chalked up to a loss being 3-4 teams.
It's so bad... It really is in its current state. But for those with absolute dedicated teams I've watched now their scores rise daily.
This whole losing streak system is rather amusing to me as it is something that the current Bungie would have come up with and actually push out there and think it's a great idea.
It really makes you wonder what was the idea that was shot down by those in the community summit was cause I'm pretty sure that same community would have shot down the losing streak system as well.
PvP is such a mess for me personally that its hard to muster up the energy to play it outside of the milestone. I am not a fan of the increase in power ammo as a solution to the TTK issue as it really messes up the flow of PvP.

Bad RNG. Here's a list of all the catalysts/ master works
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/8j9814/catalyst_guide_need_help/
No doubt, I'm upset I couldn't get that shotgun last week. Only got 1 run at that due to how hard it is to put escalations together. That perk it has is incredible.
I really like the new 750RPM SMGs, and the ikelos one has Armor Piercing and Ricochet Rounds built in via Seraph Rounds giving it good range, takes my energy slot instead of kinetic, and threat detector and disruption break are pretty solid perks. All the ikelos weapons minus the handcannon look fantastic to me, and the handcannon wasn't bad once you got the rampage going. Depending how powerful that box breathing perk is on the sniper, it could be a legendary DARCI.
The dropoff is probably going to be higher this time around than it was with CoO. They'll run the short campaign then they'll try some Heroic Strikes and it's too hard for them. So they'll try some EP and again it's too hard. Finally, they try pvp and get smashed by all the premades.
So they'll just say fuck it.
Yea, im slowly working on masterwork now and it already feels like it has decent range on it.
I just got my first catalyst (DARCI) and I've been playing quite a bit since release. RNG has not been good to me with this expansion in general.
For real tho....anyone here actually get the Wardcliff catalyst? On prestige nightfall 7 this afternoon alone and no one has seen the catalyst or a rocket.
I'm close to dropping it at the moment. I'm 348 and don't feel like I'm making any progress. Heroic strikes are a mess. It doesn't help that I don't really have anyone to play with.
I quite liked it when D2 first launched, but I think I'll stay away if it stays the way it is now. I'm just not a fan of "no radar" modes: I only ever played Inferno in D1 if I was desperate for marks, and the less said about Spooky Trials, the better.
People wanted more RNG. Here ya go.
(just wait if random rolls come back oh boy oh BOY)
Oh boy.
I can't wait until we get a better Better Devils as a Nightfall exclusive and then it has random rolls.
GRIND FOREVER GUARDIAN.
Since I never seemed to get a response, I will repost this from several pages back:
The entire expansion seems designed to repel everyone but the most devoted. There's simply nothing to do if you're not the type who's raiding every night.
They fucked up the leveling curve for no reason then made all the new content too high level for most people to access. If you're the type who's raiding every night, the leveling changes didn't slow you down at all and you were near max level in a week. If you're not, you're basically going nowhere with nothing new to do.
At some point, Bungie needs to hire someone with the foresight to actually think through their design choices. There's no reason nonsense like the EP invite nonsense should exist.
Rise of Iron had the best balance of both worlds.
Enough content that is doable for the average to moderate player and they had Trials and the Raid for the religiously devoted.
I love Heroic Strikes during Rise of Iron, they were fun, the Vanguard Strike Bounties were fun and gave you stuff.
I loath and hate the new Heroic Strikes bullet sponges in Warmind. Fuck bullet sponging, that's not an interesting difficulty level

Now that I'm around 360 and the randoms I group up with are consistently over 350 i find the heroic strikes super enjoyable.
Do I need to hit a certain score on the NF for the new rocket to have a chance dropping, or can I run normal NFs over & over and hope for the best?
No score needed. Most people speedrun normal mode.
Bungie claims thresholds increase chances but it seems insignificant.
Thank you! I'm hoping for the best, but prepairing for disappointment. -_-
If you want the best shit, gotta do the hard shit. Some things are a bit of a grind, but most of the content is very accessible and easy to attain. Yes, some effort is required.
The biggest fuck up is getting players to do Escalation Protocol. That's inexcusable. Oh and SOS having a shitty loot table too.

One hit melee kill modifier is the best, makes fodder tier enemes a threat.
It needs to have a full raid armor set with unique perks and a full unique weapon set.
I thinks it's moreso the artificial barriers keeping people from getting their light levels up is what's pushing people away. I know it's that for me, sucks cause I was really enjoying my time with destiny again.
