The new gear is good and I will definitely be trying to collect poo poo but the actual new content is meh as gently caress and extremely repetitive. Whoever said it reeks of trying to meet a deadline was right on the money. Also lol at the heroic adventure god drat. That poo poo was not balanced for a single player, at least not if you're going for the time limit. At least it still lets you finish and get your milestone but that was a big ol' kick in the balls.

I haven't done the Heroic milestone yet. Is that poo poo really timed like nightfalls?

The Eververse poo poo seems like something that was tacked on to appease the executives demanding a microtransaction money fountain. It barely has anything that affects gameplay in it, and really should just be ignored.

It's just cosmetics, as it should be.

Do you have some loving source for this poo poo because sweet holy gently caress the most bothering thing to me was that there's A) no collection for ships and sparrows and B) that eververse is the only place to get them.

The source is checking the faction vendors. They each have a new gun, ornaments, ships, and ghosts.

Gun telemetry basically sometimes gives you extra gunsmith parts to turn into Banshee.

But I doubt it was on purpose. Xur uses a deterministic algorithm and Bungie doesn't touch it. D1 they really should have put out gjallarhorn after like 6 months but noooo only that first time. They don't pick. Lol.

The modifiers in this game for poo poo like Nightfalls are mostly just unfun and feel artificial. The only one I really like is the Momentum one. poo poo like the timer and Prism can get hosed.

You’re the first person I think I’ve heard of liking momentum.

Anyway nightfall without a timer is just a heroic strike, it needs a failure condition, and wipe to orbit is dumb because it encourages finding bugs in the maps and hiding there.

I like Momentum because it makes things more hectic. More hectic is more adrenaline and poo poo really gets popping.

part of the problem is they use that fuckin hefty boy hunter model instead of the vastly superior female character model

really stunningly ridiculous how bad the male character model is for hunters

My gripe with that is you can't pick character models, not even Large, Medium, Small, etc. The Titans look like proportional humans whereas the Warlocks and Hunters look like they're malnourished Slavs.

I feel like the stats on Masterwork are almost entirely incidental, they're there to spit out orbs in the right situations. Unfortunately the sword that I'll never really use rolled Masterwork, but since it's a Prophecy weapon I'm reluctant to melt it for orbs and I'm not big on redoing that kind of stuff on other characters because DIM.

You can safely melt the Prophecy weapons. I've probably had like four of the scout rifle drop since crafting it initially.

I think something is hosed up with the strike randomization because in grinding Paradox Amplifiers through Heroic Strikes while watching TV (and still usually carrying it despite that) I've gotten something like a 6:1 ratio of Savathuns:Anything else.

Eh, I'm not really opposed to friends or even strangers boosting people since they've removed basically all competitive advantages of Light/Power Level. No harm at that point, especially considering how much of a chore it can (potentially) be to gear someone if you have a new friend joining you a couple expansions late.

I agree with this. PVP makes it to where Light doesn't matter so who gives a poo poo about PVE boosting when their proclaimed focus for this game is "esports"?

Like congrats, someone boosted to 335 in a game mode where they can be competitive at LL 35.
