If I were still playing D2, I'd be complaining about game mechanics and the meta plot in XBox Live Chat all of the time. Isn't it preferable that I suffer in silence with 2077 rather than spend money on D2 season passes and wallowing in self loathing? Edited September 23, 2021 by J.T.

My PPV game must be unbelievably rusty by now and I know that everyone else being really good at Stasis will infuriate me. The only way I see myself returning to active duty is if Beyond Light scraps Stasis. I will have an easier time getting back up to snuff if everyone is pretty much on the same side of the learning curve. *looks at the length of the current season* Holy shit, this fucking thing lasts until next February. Now would be as good of a time as any to get back in, but getting good at Stasis would probably destroy my soul. Edited September 23, 2021 by J.T.

Eivion Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Stasis is easy to get decent-good with. I think you would be fine, especially with you beign a decent PvP player already. Edited September 23, 2021 by Eivion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - the price of them delaying Witch Queen that long The general consensus as to why the 30th Anniversary thing in Nov costs so much is to help cover the lost cost of not having a season starting then If I am being truly honest - if you were coming back - do it at the start of Witch Queen. New Year is more logical starting part than new season. Plus - if they make Uldren/Crow the new Hunter Vanguard you wouldn't have started playing just to get burned again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rant for hours on end. If I am being honest with myself, then Crow should be the Hunter Vanguard since he fulfilled Cayde's dare and killed him, but "Crow" wasn't a Guardian at the time of Cayde's death which is why we get should get to keep the Ace of Spades.

Matt Taven: From where? Oh..... Quinn McKay: U R AWFUL, MATT~! DRINK BLEACH AND KILL URSELF~! I've been on the winning side of quite a few Freelancers vs. 3-Stack PvP wars and there aren't many things that feel better than getting a win against a dedicated team, especially if your freelancers aren't coordinating through in-game free chat. A lot of the friends I made during my solo running days came by way of us indie pup stomping a coordinated fireteam in Comp. Edited September 25, 2021 by J.T.

Now that broken weapons and classes have fucked things up, it is an abysmal shambles. I actually enjoyed faming Gambit armor through The Reckoning. I was also a damn good Invader before Truth totally ruined the game mode. I can only imagine how Gally 2.0 will break shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 I hate to wait till today to get my 7th win - trying to do it before the flawless pool started was infuriating Just match after match of 3 stacks getting their flawless against me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eivion Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) I spent a couple of hours doing Presage, Harbinger, Trials, and Gambit for pinnacles. I just need a class item and heavy weapon to hit max power. Presage was the worst run I have had in quite some time with one guy clearly not knowing what to do. The other team mate was pretty pissed as he entered the mic just to complain about how poorly it was going. Can't say I blame him. Trials was Trials. I've won 3 matches so far, but fuck was I running into a shit ton of 3-stacks. You would think late night/early morning wouldn't be as bad, but no, it was pretty damn bad. Was particularly annoying whenever I got paired with idiots who didn't know when to run, revive or do defensive play in general. I mean when you have control as an option to win you should kind of try to use it. Lost several rounds and matches in general because one guy had to try and go it alone instead of playing it safe and reviving a team mate. Hopefully things go better today.

RIPPA Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 Yeah I got teamed with a lot of folks who seemed to have no idea that there were rules changes for Trials this week I got my 7th win in my first match today. I might try to get another win in the hopes of finishing off the armor set but I am not stressing about it. If they are gonna do the capture again they really need to adjust where the capture spawns - teams up big throwing a round just so the next round started with the capture are their end was definitely a big thing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
