I guess. I really wish the people I enjoyed playing D2 with in the first place hadn't bounced off it. The new raid definitely looked like fun, but I don't see myself getting into it with randos. And as much as I enjoy the grind (would spend 4 hours on the most mundane shit with vanilla Destiny 1, trying to gear up for VOG before it's launch), that tends to get old at double the rate without friends.
Same here lol. I'm still level 556 so there's still a tonne of vanilla D2/D2: Forsaken stuff that I haven't experienced. And considering i'm not a big fan of PvP or Gambit, the annual pass isn't seeming like the best deal in the world for me personally (at least for the next month or so)
All the complaints right now feel reversed from the ones we saw a year ago. D2 vanilla and CoO were so easy to level up, get exotics, and participate in the endgame activities, and people were talking about how bad and boring that was. Now bungie listened and I guess people who liked it the other way are speaking up. There is no way for bungie to satisfy everyone.
The enhancement core grind still needs work to feel actually, fun.
Of course there is. Release actual new content. I dont think anyone is complaining about new stuff to grind for. The approach needs to change of how to grind for it.
You think the only difference between then and now is the level grind?
And none of that is playable until I spend another 30+ hours grinding old content. Saying there's a new raid is irrelevant if I'm 50 pl below the target, with no way to get there any time soon. By the time I'm even close, it'll be old news.
I know, right? Definitely one of my favorite scouts and exotics. It just a shame that scouts are not really competitive right now.
I'm all for getting rid of power level altogether. I think the game would be better if leveling didn't even exist; current level mechanics could instead be difficulty selection choices similar to those in Halo. I doubt the community at large would go for it though.
Nah, new content and game modes were released as well since then. Although when d2 launched there were definitely some people who wanted just more content in the same framework, other people strongly criticized the entire framework of progression as catering to casuals and explicitly asked for "grind" to return. Bungie listened to those people at least for now, and will keep listening unless player numbers drop.
I do think they should lifted the soft cap to 600 or 575 to account for cases like this.
Is it a new horde mode? Yeah. Is it like any of the other horde modes? Nope.
They're telling you basically to stop giving a shit about how your character is decked out or what mods are on the gear. It's moronic game design. They should be making you want to invest in your character(s), but instead they're apparently fine with just having you reset it every few months. It's a good way to get more and more people less interested in the game.
One trick I use is putting a mod into a collection rolled exotic. I can then dismantle the exotic and get back the mod and most of the cost of issuing the exotic out of the collection. Works well.
