The Dark Side of Gear Score...
This can't be avoided. Elitists will always exist.
And it will still exist in 1.4. It is just that you will get kicked for being GS226 instead of 229... Or not, depending on how good they made the balancing of World Tiers.
But at least you won't get kicked for wearing a mix of High End and Gear Sets (like it happen to me quite a few times. Too bad, you won't take advantage of my AWESOME Optimized Alpha Bridge setup...).
So true. There are a lot of times i find myself reviving 250+GS players consistently, while my 235GS toon just keeps motoring along...Originally Posted by Fuz Fragstealer Go to original post
The 235 was built with survival in mind though, with 3 FM and maxed stamina recalibrations.
You have to make what you have work, and not worry about the GS so much.
To the OP: If you're on PS4, your welcome to send me a friend request. I don't kick based on GS.
Ya and obviously not about gear score, gear score helps but its 50/50. 50% gear score, 50% strategy. The great thing is when you get randomized in a group that knows how to play as a group. For example "Destroy the Supplies" at the last round when you have about 1 minute to destroy the supplies, I pop alt run, destroy the skill jammer, then kill the supplies. I run back to my group and when i'm running back, someone shoots a heal at me. Its like true love, i'm pretty sure that's what true love feels like. But that's teamwork. And its a good feeling.Originally Posted by nuclearbroccoli Go to original post
It's nice when you get matched with good team players. When everybody has everyone else's back, it's so much smoother.Originally Posted by brokejaw5 Go to original post
Those are the groups I'll stay and run a string of missions with. Other groups, maybe just one or two.
If you are ps4 add me, we will not kick you!Originally Posted by turboxscream Go to original post
I had a guy run in a pug with a gs of around 190, we did a challenge run and he went down once.
Last night I joined a 3 phase hard mode run and got kicked with a gear score of 239, I did get mad on that occasion lol.
I never judge on gear score, I have always said I don't care what they have on, they are only as good as there aim..
I do believe with the changes, we may see more tolerance with pugs
