50/50 on repeats. I just want Orpheus or nighthawk to show up so I don't have entire playstyles gated off
Or Synthoceps. FUCK! I just want to punch mans and my eyes have been opened about the synthoceps, which naturally, I still dont have.
i have like 12 synthoceps if you want one
trade you for any helmet other than skullfort
Bro I can't even hold all these Masks of the Quiet One.
Sev: Your gameplay is the most heavily yomi based around. Usually you look for characters that allow you to force guessing situations for big dmg. Even if the guess is mathematically nowhere near in your favor lol. You're happiest when you have either a 50/50, 33/33/33 or even a 75/25 situation to go crazy with. And you will take big risks to force those situations to come up.
Winter's Guile are melee centric Warlock gloves - each enemy you kill with them gives you a stacking buff up to 5 stacks, I believe - the more you kill, the more damage you do. I've heard that at max stacks, you're not one shotting yello bars, but you're close.

there was shockingly no thread on the bungie feedback forum about how a collection game doesn't have adequate ability to make collections
so i threw my worthless opinion into the void
it's probably pointless but
also it's interesting to remember sometimes that what's a super important issue to you may not exactly be super important to a large amount of people
I do take issue with Xur, selling, multiple weeks in a row, items that are in the freaking story mode and therefore very likely for a player to have them.

that is bothersome but there are 3 story choices so there's gonna be some overlap.
I actually really liked that the first week was all the armor options were from story so it felt good to fill in what you had missed.
I think multiple weeks of things just adds a point of frustration for people who keep getting lucky pants/wings of dawn/whatever titans hate and hope for a little help in RNG.
I don't know if Xur is completely random or if they have a hand in the choices. If they curate it then I have more issues with it. but I remember in 1 hearing them talk about Xur's loot inventory algorithms so I assume they just set him and forget him.
Really I just wish i had more to do with shards. I had like 900. I bought and sharded exotics for 104 gunsmith ranks to finally get a mananan SR4 and still have 460 shards

it's funny how many things are just the complete opposite of D1
in D1 i felt like i never had enough legendary marks and it was a hopeless grind trying to get them
now i am lousy with shards and please someone take them from me
though if i hadn't taken long breaks from D1 i probably would have found myself at a point of not caring about marks as well
some of us probably play a lot more than the average player, and a lot smarter than the average player (just from all sharing strats and ideas here even)
before i stopped infusing my way up to get those extra 1 or 2 points before redeeming my powerful engrams, keeping enough shards was definitely more of a challenge

I mean, moreso than other exotics, something like not having nighthawk really affects my decisions for things like the raid. It's like, what should i do for callus ? I guess I'll poledance clear adds. It's more that than "i can never play gunslinger!" I really don't even think twice about it outside of the toughest things, and just spec into whatever feels fun that day.
I don't get that sense from any of my warlock exotics, that "this changes how i look at and play this class"
I'm upgrading my opinion: Perseverance specced for stability is better than any SMG I've used. Antiope is still the king of your kinetic spot, if energy is your long range option, but if you need an energy short range banger then it's my number one pick.
Before the inevitable: The Last Hope is A+ top tier but it's range is so severely limited that against a good team it's hard to isolate and close the gap with people. The rapid fire autos are also much better team shooting guns.

Donuts those exotics are absolutely required to play certain subclasses certain ways because of their effects. It's not a matter of will or attitude.

I still play Nightstalker without Orpheus Rig, but it's obvious that someone with that exotic would be able to tether two or three times as often as I can.
I looked up the numbers on Nighthawk (reddit) - it's a 1.6x increase on single-target Golden Gun damage. Not game-breaking, but also significant enough that I'll just stick with Nightstalker since I don't have that exotic.
It's not necessarily a whole playstyle that's gated off, but it's definitely a huge difference.

Without Orpheus Rig Nightstalker is just so much less fun to play, like I guess it's also less efficient but really when I don't have Rig on my hunter then I'm just having less fun and that's all that matters to me.

For me, Synthos would make voidpunch Titan a lot more effective because of the range boost. Striker Titan having knockout does this job almost as well without an exotic slot. But that means when I play void titan instead of striker it's a lot less fun and I feel hobbled by the lack of range. FeelsBadMan not to have it.

Bolded sums it up nicely, especially if you've put in a hundred or more hours into a character and still haven't seen the exotic you want.

I play every day, pretty much. I have not gotten a new Titan exotic in WEEKS. Hell, I haven't gotten a new gun exotic in WEEKS. All those engrams and powerful rewards, Dupes dupes dupes.

Are you sure you just dont have all the exotic guns and titan exotic armor?
Hell, I can't even farm heroic events anywhere like I used to for engrams, because the pop rate of events is lowered, and the number of people actually doing events so that they can be completed quickly has also dwindled. It feels like the game is pushing back on me at every turn. Can't even do chest loops or resource farm. Planetary engrams don't have a chance to be exotic, so no point in that either.

Hallowfire Heart is nigh-useless in pvp. You don't get the damn buff til like halfway through the game so that's out of the question. Exotics in general being so gimped compared to D1 doesn't help this game at all. Feedback Fence I used to run on void Titan before they buffed NBP. It's trash now. I've been playing Striker Knockout with either Dunemarchers or War Rig, and I just want to change it up and run Voidpunch like I used to in D1, but those trex arms, man.

I'm right there with you, I think Perseverance is underappreciated. It is one of my favorite guns for maximum Dakka.
This is the first week for me that Xur is all dupes for me. And I have a shit ton of Exotics so that still feels pretty good. I have all the weapons, all the Warlock exotics, and am only missing a few pieces from other classes:
- Lion Rampant
- Lucky Raspberry
- Orpheus Rig
- St0mp-EE5
So basically I'm missing all the top-tier fun boots for Titan and Hunter.

How long does it normally take you to get the buff going so you can make use of it? It also rankles me that the exotic perk is just a vanilla perk from D1, essentially.

the nice thing about not having top tier exotics for hunter/titan is that I can just worry about looking cool on hunter and literally flying everywhere on titan

I'm pretty sure those lines aren't unique player counts each, just how many players did each thing (so it caps out at 3.67 million total, not that plus how many people did PvP). So it's closer to 50%.
