The only way I’ve successfully matchmaked for anything in this game ever was starting the mission and calling for backup.

I usually start with random mission at Challenging or Heroic and it finds me a random team within seconds. Of course a small percentage of those are just pure shitfests born to fail with the one guy who died the most screaming that everyone here are the shittiest players he's ever seen. But that goes with the randomness. I used it today to get help to finish my bounties for the Manhunt. Which turned out pretty good.

After losing two or three bounties, I don't think I'll try any more without calling in another player

I don't think I've ever had trouble matchmaking, usually matches in seconds or a few minutes if there's nothing good targeted at the mission and it's an annoying one. Sometimes it's a little slow if I'm up at like 4 am.

Matchmaking hasn’t been a problem for me and I’m on at various times during the day and night. Whenever I get a moment or two. That being the case this game can still both be infuriating and surprisingly socially fun. I grouped with what I assumed were a bunch of Randy’s and did the DARPA mission. We ran the whole thing clean. Hardly any deaths, no real problems on challenging with a few “lower shd guys” who had just gotten outta NYC they said. All good. But that loving boss fight took us an hour and a half and only had one guy quit half way and another trooper show up and by god he stuck to it. It felt worse than Tidal ever did on Heroic. Every lovely mechanic, every grenade couldn’t miss, no armor was strong enough. I don’t know why it took us as long as it did. Well I do, we kept charging and playing the loving level how you used to play it. We had 3 DPS guys and only me with a Hard Wired CC skills equipped. The DPS guys didn’t get the hint early on and we just kept getting blasted and I found out that I was procing way to early to be of use. Anyway it’s funny to think you’re king poo poo running Heroics and be humbled a level lower. Also all that time spent, and no loot worth keeping.

Yeah I'm going to stop being so defeatist, I just got one with my turret before I really knew he was even on the field. The one that got me frustrated had me fighting through like nine waves of dudes before the bounty even came out

I just rage uninstalled the game after trying Darpa on challeging solo, if the mission wasn't so long I might have changed spec and tried it again, but gently caress going through that whole slog again just to find out if I can do that final encounter.

DARPA and Pentagon are bugged and don’t currently have checkpoints before the final boss which is kind of a big problem.

This expansion has made me really dislike the black tusk faction in general. They just seem straight up busted compared to any of the other factions. That green ring healing box they throw down.. whoever thought that was a good gameplay change is hopefully gone now.

Yeah that poo poo was bad when the LMB had it, no need to bring it back especially considering the player doesn't have it anymore. The spawn rates on robodogs needs to be reduced as well, every Black Tusk fight having at least three different dogs got old really drat fast.

Was thinking last night how hacked together this game is. You have 6 different types of leveling. 1-30 Tier 1-5 31-40 SHD levels Season levels DZ levels Also 5 different levels of equipment light green (not sure if this is in the pre 30 game still) blue purple gold Dk Green (sets) Exotic With only 3 of those being (possibly) any good, the rest is pure trash with purple only being slightly useful for the Attribute library until you get better. The 1-30, tier 1-5 and 31-40 could potentially just have been tossed out the window and completely replaced with SHD levels. But that would have taken extra work to program or something.

There's a bug with fast traveling there and starting the mission where the elevator doors you need to force open to trigger the next checkpoint are already open, so you just fall down and rip restarting it in place usually fixes that so the doors have to be opened and everything proceeds normally from there

Some youtubers were saying they stealth buffed exotic drop rates (at least on heroic). Went in with a friend of mine tonight. I got a tardagrade on our 3rd run of heroic Lincoln Memorial and he got a Bullet King on our first run of Wallstreet. Seems like maybe Massive did something good for once? Better farm more before they realize this was "unintended" and then nerf the drop rate down to 1% or something.

Had some great heroic runs and some less than great legendary runs tonight with a group of randoms that I found. The loot was especially good. Got another tardigrade which I gave away, a pretty nice zero f's that I'll mess with, a good patriot mask with nearly godrolled crit damage which lets me replace the armor with weapon damage for more build flexibility, a shitload of godrolls I was missing for my library, some incredible gloves for my cc build, enough negotiators pieces to set up that rifle build that's making the rounds on youtube, some near godrolled gear mods for repair skills and incoming healing which both get use on my builds, and some amazing mods for my pulse and firefly. I should have run some Wall Street because I probably would have finally gotten that Bullet King I've been needing.

I would do that to the elevator doors, only for the first fight encounter not triggering right and the door past the fuse refusing to open. Resolved by restarting the mission and fast traveling to the mission mode to force reloading the map.

Working as intended. Also, happened to get the commendation for holding all control points at the same time. I guess the reset bug had a tiny upside.

Ok so for as much of a soft spot as I have in my heart for the Pestilence, which is still a strong and viable gun, The Bullet King really is on another level, especially with my usual run and gun playstyle. It's hard to overstate how powerful not having to reload is. You can probably guess how powerful it is just by thinking about it, but putting it into action is just exhilarating. I've actually toned back the weapon damage on my patriot support build back to my original 3/3 split instead of the 4 red/2 blue split I'd been experimenting with because tankiness is very easy to convert into dps when your only downtime is healing so I may as well go a bit tankier with my setup. I've also dropped the shield and replaced it with a banshee pulse. As fun as the shield is, the reliable non skill tier dependent cc on a short cooldown has proved to be useful defensively like the shield, but also incredibly potent when used to rush groups of enemies or to lock down a wave of enemies spawning in. Sadly I haven't been able to run the raid much since the ban wave gutted my usual group, but my old and less optimized build handled it fine, and having a bullet king will probably be a huge dps boost against black tusks.
