I haven't really been playing this for a little while, but it was still completely worth the price for me. I leveled up all three classes, did the story three times (on Mercury as well), and REALLY enjoyed the experience. I want the game to receive so much more love than it has been, but it was 100% for sure worth the price to me. I'm looking forward to jumping back in when the next DLC drops and running through it three more times.


edit: also, yeah, Vermintide 2 is really cool. I've only done the Farm twice, but man, what an experience.

Yeah I’ll be loud and vocal about the game’s faults but I’d be straight up lying if I didn’t admit that I’m 100% going to play the Mars X-Pac...

and I’ll be buying Destiny 3 at launch because Launch week was insanely fun for me

Once you have gear that lets you hit max power level you'll get blue drops from 325-330

So explain it to me like I am an idiot: you again need to raid a ton, trials a ton and get lucky with tons of 3oC before breaking that soft-cap, right?
And 335 still certifies that you are a supercool raiding dude, right?

I wonder what kind of crack are smoking on reddit and I really hope they sell their playstations and go buy Black Desert Online on PC if they want griiiiind to be harder.

No. You literally never need to do PvP or Raid in order to hit 335. It will be easier, yes, but those are not required.

Do weekly milestones that reward you with Powerful Gear. Those will level your PL up.

There's also a site that tracks vendors who are giving out high level engrams. It rotates and isn't on a set schedule (I think), is kind of annoying to track, but that's another way you can capitalize on turn-ins for better gear.

You don't need to do any of that lol.
Just shoot a few dregs on Titan, corpse-run through a few strikes and lose a couple crucible matches and you too can be max level in no time.
it's going to take three months for the last piece you need

It's a hard cap and you can technically hit it just from milestone rewards. It just takes forever because RNG and no dupe protection, have fun.

So yeah, 335 certifies nothing and if people on :reddit: are acting like it does, they're morons like people there tend to be.

That loot power system is really lovely because without hitting 335, even more of the regular loot is worthless all the time. Oh what, you mean your power level is 334.9? Well gently caress you buddy and enjoy your awesome 320-325 blues and 324/325 legendary engram rewards.

Pretty sure this also only works if you're at 335 already (330 base level actually).

There’s a goon who never hit 335 despite playing at launch because they insisted on only waiting to buy 330 gear from vendors based on their secret rotation and slowly every other member of his clan hit 335 and he floundered in the 320’s insisting his way was better.

Here’s a sidebar: has anyone ever met a woman in this game? My Trials playgroup was almost all EU and we had one women from Denmark who played, mostly PvE, but since launch I haven’t played with a single American female.

MET a WOMAN?????

I mean, I've played with a buncha chicks in my time with the game but I think they tend to be aware of weirdos trying to MEET a WOMAN in a fideo bame and have learned how to remain mostly elusive to the types who would describe it that way.

Creep? You're the one describing it as "meeting women," chico. As I was saying, they seem aware even of, "Gosh, it'd sure be nice to platonically play this game with a lady" types, as well.

There is an idea of a Yuns, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

This is pretty much me. I never have time when anyone else is on so I've never done a raid or trials or done a group nightfall so basically I've completed no endgame content. (I've tried to solo nightfall but failed). I hit 335 by just doing all the solo milestones for powerful engrams each week. Do 3 raids for Zavala, do some non-competitive Crucible for Shaxx, do the public events Flashpoint for Cayde, those will also give you enough for a Clan powerful engram and a bright engram. It's kind of a slow rear end process and I wish they would make some new raids and new events.

You're genuinely retarded as gently caress, and that I answered the question first thing, phrased in a far more colloquiall manner, but you're too goddamned stupid to comprehend it is a good indicator of why you're having difficulty MEETING WOMEN.
