    FireCrest and AlphaBridge = Junk (PVP)

    Talk about two sets that won’t do anything.

    FireCrest: As far as I can see. Firescrest is only good up to a 4 piece classy mixed with Barrett’s and Inventive.

    This setup allows me to put a few Mods into FireArms to take advantage of the damage to burning targets. Even then it’s not enough to unlock anything on the HE weapon talents

    The 6 piece set you can’t even come close to the Skill Power you can get from the Barrett+Inventive combo.

    SMH this is really disappointing..PUBG is looking great now.


    Alpha: Well what can I say about this set....

    Doesn’t really do anything well at all. It’s a crappy Solo set and frankly doesn’t help a team either.

    Trash bin items once again.



    Good luck everyone still grinding. Massive mated with the K9 on this group of sets really hard.

    As a positive. Massive managed to get 3 sets balanced with each other

    Nomad
    Stryker
    PredMark

    Reclaimer (good for making sure those three live)

    All else is junk and if you try to argue that all else isn’t. Well......you got a few pubes in your teeth.

    I agree I will stash the sets I once loved.

    With the hope that they are made correct.

    Me too. But I only need 4 sets to complete the game.
    Final Measure & D3 for Stolen Signal
    Strikers for revenge attack after getting ganked in DZ or fancy a bit of run and gun action.
    Tac for everything else.

    I might keep Hunters Faith though for when I do solo boss runs. I do like a slow paced wander around the map once in a while.

    I have something like 50 GE caches (could be 60 also)

    I have 3 full 6 piece tactician from it, 6 piece Hunter's Faith, 6 piece Firecrest, 6 piece Alpha Bridge. And a lot that I deconstructed.

    I only use the tactician and alpha bridge as a 5 piece because they are pretty useless as a 6 piece.

    I have all classified gearsets now in 6 pieces, Final measure 2 times, Nomad 3 times, Lone Star 2 times, Dead EYE 2 times.

    My favorites are Nomad, Striker, Dead EYE ( as a 5 piece with reckless chest)

    tbh they are not good in PvE either. The only good thing that will make me use firecrest in PvE is the Michael Bay effect when you kill NPC.

    And set yourself on fire when too close to the exploding enemy, nah, they should change that, very annoying!

    Exactly, none of the sets this GE are even remotely worth farming for it seems like. I just wish I had better luck so I can stop mindlessly grinding the same content over and over.

    I just want them all for that inevitable buff to them, or blanket over nerf to the other sets that makes them useless, making the currently useless sets OP in the next meta lol.

    I will keep my eyes on the forum and maybe tune in to the Twitch feed occasionally, but since 1.8 I really don’t have much to log into anymore.

    FireCrest was my main set with a HEXO being my backup..

    1.8 pretty much ended my gaming on TD for me. Hope they get this sorted soon. I would like to be able to PVP again with my FC set.

    90-120 days for any type of fixes like this though. Massive only hurries when it’s a loot exploit.
