Destiny 2: Warmind |OT| Mars Attacks!

Every single one of my powerful engrams were snipers and capes this week.
Every. Single. One... :(
Finally found a good instance with randoms and finished my three waves of EP. Now I just need to grind 21 more stems for my nodes.
How are you changing instances? Simply fast travelling to another point on Mars while on Mars doesn't seem to do it for me.
I even fast travel to the same point and it successfully rolls a new bunch of randoms. It won't work if you're in a fireteam though.
Speaking of which, you know a quick way of getting stems? I thought lost sectors always droped them, but I didn't get drops a few times from chest.
I think you're absolutely crazy to ask for a new class, it's not going to happen, literally zero chance. A new subclass, on the other hand..(please Bungo, please!!!)
In the Sleeper quest I'm at the part where I need to complete EP waves, have no clue how I'm going to do it, patrols seem to always be deserted, let alone be populated by another 5 people. Bungie, we really really need matchmaking for this, it's one of the coolest things in the expansion, don't lock most of the people out of it.

I don't think there really is a quick way.
I've just been doing patrols and public events.
Today, alone:
- Colony Catalyst
- Jade Rabbit Catalyst
- Crimson Catalyst
- D.A.R.C.I Catalyst
- and got the Braytech RWP MK. II, which goes hard in Crucible. Kinda like it over the JR.
I still got not one Catalyst :(
I hate this RNG
Jesus just had two of the worst games of PVP imaginable.
Had guys on my team with .2 KDRs... That's including assists...
Why the fuck are there so many stacks of 4s running around, specifically when the update today was put in to clearly address stacks against solo players.

The escalation protocol boss this week is ridiculous. Not in a bad way or anything, but compared to last week we all certainly got put in our place. 2 hours of just eating it on Wave 7, only had a couple goes get him under half health before timing out. Those cursed thrall are just borderline unfair with how they detonate before loading in (probably due to the fact the game runs at roughly 1 frame per hour on base PS4 during a full escalation). Looks like Ward of Dawn might finally get some spotlight time too, it's been a long time old friend.
Long shot but anyone need 1 for any portion of the raid on ps4? I am only LL 345 warlock but just looking to get over this hump so I can start leveling up.
Exotic dropped in the wild is still five points below my current average? Gtfo with that shit.
The end game grind is not fun. Just wanna play the raid but it'll be weeks at this point.

I got four sets of gauntlets from one raid last night. FOUR.
Really doubt we'll be getting a new class honestly.
Don't think we really need one either, definitely do think we need more class ability choices, and subclasses would be great.
I'm not exaggerating when I say this, but I might have one of the worst RNG luck.
So many hours and still not a single exotic masterwork, and the powerful engrams are dropping trash.

Same here. I have done all Milestones last Week and almost all this Week and a Ton of Exploring on Mars....
I would really like to know how Bungies RNG Works. I can not just be totally Random. Some Clanmates have incredible Luck since ever in this Game.
Why cant they built a Bad Luck Streak in their RNG?
Calling those things trees is being overly generous. They are more like shrubs.
lol, so true. I miss the old trees. If anything I wanted them to expand on them, add more modifiers through gear etc.
Though that would require separation of PVP and PVE gear obviously.
I hope we get a whole new race, to fight against, in the new dlc. We need something completely new.
Do some public events, get your lvl to 30 and should drop power lvl gear up to 340
The traveller has awoken and has decided to bestow the power of light unto all Guardians. Guardians everywhere have unlocked the "Light" subclass. UH OH THE DARKNESS GROWS, NOW WE GOT DARKNESS INFUSED ENEMIES.
Cheque please Bungie.
Ahh is level 30 the new cap?
Yeh didn't get much from 2 public events I did, hence the slight confusion too. Think it's gonna be a grind : not really in the mood. Booted the game for the first time after Curse of Osiris.. Just to check out the story. Let's see :)
Yep. I don't know what planet Bungie is on. Even if/ when all players are 385, how do they expect people to realistically beat Escalation Protocol? They obviously didn't test this at all or think through this enough. Even if the game managed to automatically populate the area with nine players, to capacity, what if all nine don't want to participate or want to play? How are a bunch of solo randoms, who aren't in a party together, without coordination and unoptimized loadouts supposed to progress and beat wave 7?
Once again, we're basically forced to join randoms, have them promote us to leader and boot them in order to invite our friends or desired players. It's such a shitty thing to do. I actually had to do it last night, for the first time, to some poor, unsuspecting kid. I felt bad, but what am going to do? It's Bungie's fault for enabling this shit, making us resort to such under handed methods to do Escalation Protocol efficiently. So that should be so simple and intuitive is totally fucked.
Come on.
Wow, your exactly what's wrong with the community in Destiny. The game may have some issues but you just roll over anything or anyone to get what you want.
I finally got around to beating the story last night and I have to say that the final 2 missions were pretty damn good; the Nokris and Worm fights . However, wait, that was it? That is what I was saying when it was over....
Whelp, no LL gains from any of that since I've already been raiding, but it's all good.
No, it's the way Bungie set that activity up. They need to fix it to make it work for the community. It feels poorly planned out for a high level activity to say the least.

I do the Patrols. Easy and fast especially the Survey ones.
So suggest what I'm supposed to realistically do then...
Wait like a month for casual players to hit max light level and catch up? Yeah, not happening, obviously. Or what, deal with trying to hopelessly beat Escalation Protocol with five players who are AFK, doing other activities, don't know what to do, griefing or just have uncoordinated weapons and subclasses and, of course, far below the recommended level requirement? Wave 7 enemies are 400, you do know that, right?
Seriously, that's what you want me to do? Either don't play the game at all or continue to fail at wave 2 or 3, because that's basically what will happen. The game can't even populate areas to maximum capacity automatically. I know it's an awful and shitty situation. Do you think I like it? Of course not.
I was TASKED with doing that last night. First time I've personally had to. Usually others in my party do it because they have fewer hang ups about it and I refuse to do it. But I actually had to to get others in the instance. Me, I actually do feel bad about the entire thing. It sucks. So don't lecture me about "being what's wrong with the community". Do you have any idea how many people I've helped and instructed over the years in these games? Obviously not. So please, get off your high horse. Blame Bungie for their lack of forethought and their stupid ass system.
Again, what am I actually supposed to do. If you got a better solution, let us and Bungie know ASAP.

You couldn't just bring the extra guy along with you? Even with two random other fireteam leaders, seven good people should be enough to do the EP.
You would think that but, nope it's pretty difficult. Plus, the guy is wasting his time if he is low level because
a) there is a possibility he wont even be able to damage enemies (400 light), meaning they cannot get credit for the kill and missing the drops
b) they do not have a cache key to get the chest at the end
All the groups I have been finding are resorting to ramming the boss off the ledge at Braytech with an interceptor LUL

You're assuming A) they even want to participate in EP at all B) they are the only random player in the area and C) they are properly geared and leveled for the activity.
Fireteams are limited to three players. If there's already four randoms, plus myself, that only leaves room for four more players. I'd have to hope that the randoms would actually bother to respond to my messages, then get in my chat, allow my friends to join and then convince them to do EP with us. And on top of that, again, that is also assuming they are at a reasonable level and properly geared, if we actually want to finish the activity.
Also, there are up to eight other people who need to get in the same instance. Not just two. It's such a clusterfuck, honestly.
All of this too.
Someone at really low light will essentially be doing no damage. They wouldn't be contributing anything. It would be a carry and a detriment to everyone else. They'd get melted by enemies instantly. They might as well sit or dance and do nothing. How is that fair to the rest of us? Imagine if they got vanity and weapon drops. Holy shit...
Plus, as you said, if they don't have a cache key, they wouldn't get the armor drop at the end, assuming we actually beat the last boss. In that event, it would just be a waste of time.
It's so dumb.
It's an event in a public space, if they don't want to do it, kicking them out of the game isn't the answer. I appreciate that we all want to do everything as soon as possible, but if we're acting selfishly and making other player's experience of the game worse, that's bad for the game and the community. Bungie have apparently stated that they intend EP to be doable by a fireteam of three high-level players. If that's not possible yet maybe the answer is to wait until you're better equipped.
Yeah wait it out then. Stop acting like finishing the actively gives you or anyone else in your group the ok to do anything to get that done. No matter whomever you run over.
This. I honestly don´t get the rush.
Like I have no interest to even try the new lair while I´m 20 levels underleveled.
Yup. Don't do that. If bungie took bans seriously that be bannable.
You can ask for others to help you invite and leave. But tricking them and being shitty isnt very cool at all.

Pretty disgusting.
Bungie should keep an eye on such behavior and ban if necessary.
That is exactly what you are supposed to do.
