All the armor mods really are is a way to CONTROL the bonuses you get from your armor.
Whereas in D1 you needed to find the piece you wanted with the bonuses you wanted. Mods are another shortcut allowing players a faster way to reach their perfect setup.
That sounds great on paper, but the faster we reach our perfect setup, the sooner we have nothing left to strive towards.
THAT is what people are complaining about.
The game has been out 4 1/2 weeks, so it’s more like 66 hours a week, not 100.
I was on vacation for a week, also had some days off following surgery. So I’ve had a lot of playtime.
Also, once again, your definition of grind is completely wrong. It’s like you’re having a totally different conversation than the rest of us.
I think you have a different definition of grind than what everyone else here is talking about.
I have two 305’s and a 304.
The 304 I started last Sunday and she was 304 by Tuesday night.
There is no grind after 265, either. You just have to be smart with how you approach your weekly activities.
I don’t think you guys are even understanding what is meant by “grind”.
D1’s grind was a long, long hunt for the best and most perfect version of every weapon you liked and every piece of armor you wanted.
...
I don’t understand. The grind to find the best gear is the heart of any game like this.
Destiny, Borderlands, Diablo, WoW, whatever.... that’s the whole point.
If you make it super easy to find all the best gear then the incentive to keep playing is diminished.
If you hate the grind, you’re playing the wrong type of game. Or you’re the type that isn’t going to keep playing for long anyway.
And when I said hardcor...
Getting rid of random perk rolls on weapons was their huge mistake.
Now everyone just runs a few different weapons because every “origin story” is the same, for instance.
So all of my characters are running the exact same guns because they are my favorites and all have the same perks. And they are all so easy to find.
I have nine of “The number” from the future war cult, 1 for each element on each character. That would never have happe...
Different people.
The hardcore didn’t complain last time, the grind for better gear is the reason to keep playing.
Huh?
I have so many legendary mods that I had to dismantle a bunch I don’t care about and put some others in my vault.
How is it hard to get the right legendary mods?
I have 2 or 3 of every legendary mod I use, AFTER filling up my armor.
Do you not buy blue mods? Do you let your glimmer fill up and just sit at max?
Man you sheep that are hating on the microtransactions are giving me a lot of entertainment value for free.
I'd gladly pay to read the insane stupidity that you are all spouting off as truth.
A small amount, not too much, but I'd pay. Like a microtransaction.
I don't give a damn what any of you guys that are "protesting" or "boycotting" this game think.
My life is fine without making a political drama out of every little thing I disagree with.
So I'm going to keep buying games that I like, and pre-ordering special editions if I want them.
The game looks amazing, and somebody being butthurt over microtransactions that don't affect anything is not going to ...
Level doesn't matter anymore, so now it's just regular crucible with different rewards.
Damnit Bungie.
The fact that merciless isn’t on this list makes it all sort of irrelevant.
Merciless is the best PvE exotic in the game right now.
I would bet money that they did this intentionally to try to prove a point and force Sony's hand.
A clever move, IMO.
no that doesn't mean they are "for the players".
They didn't make this game. They just paid some money to activision and said "hey guys, "make sure all the players on others platforms don't get the entire game".
It's a dick move, and the only people that like it are PS fanboys that are like spoiled children that don't know how to share.
Not unless you feel like you have to do it the instant it becomes available.
It's not like the Raid appears for a week and then goes away.
It'll still be there even if you don't hit max level till December.
Blast Processing FTW
Can't freakin wait.
Nobody was maxed by the second day on the first game. That was impossible without the Raid that wasn't even available yet at that time.
Unless you're talking about being max character level, which means essentially nothing.
Sounds like you don't know much about how Destiny works.
They have always released the Raid 1 week after launch.
Edit: I should read all the replies before I reply I suppose.
The only ones who take the Ricky Bobby approach to consoles wars are the Fanboys.
"If you're not first, you're last"
If you think multi-million dollar corporations think like that, you're a damn idiot.
Would they like to be selling more? Of course they would. Sony would love to sell more, too.
I just can't help but laugh at the ridiculousness of how you guys think this works.
