I'm not even messing with it. They haven't added any weapons since Shadowkeep and it's the same armor for a third God damn time. Plus this quest makes the crucible play like shit. Nobody is capping flags because they are camping heavy. Bungie is really starting to lose me.
i still need some enhanced mods. so either i'll finish it later in the season or i'll just stockpile tokens until they change the quest/next season. i wonder what happened with the bow to cause them to hold it back
there's too much grind to get all the new mods for me to even care that much about IB this season. shits overwhelming, and i dont think its a bad thing.
Yeah that's the other main thing. They brought back IB like every other week last season, with no new rewards. Only purpose would be to gain additional light, but the grind isn't even worth it.
are we actually complaining about too much IB right now? if you dont want to play it you dont have to. this IB is still the worst one ever though
I'm not complaining about it coming around too much. Just the lack of refresh for ages. Not to mention the loot has been trash since the beginning of D2. The weapons have never been good from IB. D1 had some incredible IB weapons.
I'm a sucker for pain, so I always dabbled in it. I guess I just wish they did more than just flip the IB switch.
D1 had so many good IB weapons. even had multiple sets of them. gheleons demise was one of my all time favorites. i think the biggest issue with IB weapons is so many really good perks have been added to the game since the last time IB weapons were updated. also theres no bow or machine gun and the hand cannon is an unusable archetype. even if they refuse to just refresh the whole IB weapon loot pool, they could add a bow, machine gun, and waveframe GL. perhaps do a ritual each season and maybe an exotic once a year. like gjallarhorn. please bring back gjallarhorn.
The base stats for IB weapons seem to be lacking too. Which is odd considering it is supposed to be end game loot.
lets just go over the current loot pool crimils dagger: ew wizened rebuke: meh bite of the fox: my favorite pvp sniper by a wide margin roar of the bear: RL arent meta and if they were it wouldnt be this one breath of the dragon: ew orewings maul: good for what it is, an energy GL with demolitionist. but so is martyrs retribution and its better claws of the wolf: rapid fire pulses are my favorite pvp primaries but outlast and horror's least are both potentially better swarm of the raven: was bis for pve dps for a long ass time as far as legendaries go (wendigo isnt good, stop lying to yourself) but love and death is better, especially with the tractor cannon changes talons of the eagle: idk it looks fine. ive kept a few good rolls but have never used it because scout shining sphere: pretty sure this still drops, so a 2nd shit RL gunnora's axe: dear bungie, no one likes slug shotguns a heros burden: i THINK this still drops? also bad did i miss anything?
i still use swarm most of the time because a good love and death eludes me. i would use claws if i didnt have a god roll outlast. if i had to snipe in pvp on console i'd use bite of the fox.
What is the pvp meta right now? I usually use my bygones, then a sniper (Beloved) or smg. Rarely ever do I shotgun cause I'm terrible with them. For pve, I don't do any super hard encounters, so my loadout really doesn't matter.
historically ive always used 2 specials, but bungie finally broke scavenger so now thats not viable anymore
who even knows. i usually do wish ender and fusion or dust rock and outlast. generally only use the special weapon though. omolon sidearms are really good. idk, its a weird meta.
I don't even like using specials. Wish there was more primary gunplay. Obviously don't want to go back to year 1 but basically all you see is people maining low skill stuff now.
sure would be nice if bungie would give us lobbies with no special ammo and lobbies with lots of it, etc
Last Hope is supposed to be the recluse killer because it lets you still use izanagi for high level content but I cant get one to drop for the life for me. I bet I’ve spent 3k legendary shards and 10k gunsmith parts plus another couple thousand dattalice and have gotten exactly one with shitty rolls.
the last dance > last hope. also travelers judgement is insane and in the energy slot. dont sleep on the current state of wish ender in pve. sure its not izanagi but its a primary.
Kill clip is okay but mkc is pretty hard to get going in PvP. I think autos are slept on currently as well. Especially the 720s. Those things can shred ads when they get going. I have a Steelfeather with Swashbuckler and that pairs really well with top tree Dawnblade.
ive always shamefully loved misfit. the 720s are actually a far better experience than smgs on controller right now.
By far. I can actually control the recoil on them. That dawning SMG is laughable on console. Like trying to contain a bucking bull.
Oh I’ve been using the shit out of wishender because it is currently broken as hell but it still isn’t really viable for raid bosses etc.
I am on Virgin Media but I think it's mostly to do with where my router is in the house, bit far from the playstation. Damn
I’m on if anyone wants to run some exotic quests I need to finish up or do a nightfall. Or lol, a raid. All 3 characters are over 920 now
