We Understand That No One Wants To Grind 515, BUT... | Forums

We're going to drop virtually everyone to less than 500 GS and then only guarantee 500 gear to people that are already 500. So, people that aren't 500 (which is most people) will only get 500 gear from Field Supplies or by randomly getting lucky? Any other way? Cool. So essentially, it is now extremely difficult to get any build at gear score 500 much less optimize it. So, the response to people not wanting to grind 515 is to make them have to grind 500 -- again. Only now it takes more grinding. Super cool. These designers obviously know what they're doing. Keep these outstanding and obviously well thought out improvements coming.

Oh, and am I also correct in understanding that the raid is in but it's just not on? Like, you have to activate it or something? Probably just go ahead an activate that if you haven't. Don't sit around waiting for us all to be at 500 GS and optimized if that's what you're doing. If you take that route, we'd be lucky to be raiding before Christmas. Probably just turn the raid on and make an official announcement about how crappy and tedious achieving GS 500 is and tell everyone not to really worry about it. Thanks for everything. Again, keep up the really good and in no way enormously flawed development.

They also DID guarentee that ppl with 500GS would only get 500 GS yellow and iirc 480 purple.. but tht is also not true ...... we ran alot tonight (me im back to GS 498 bc of the super annoying rollback, how hard is it to just make all recalibratet 500+ GS a flat 500 again, so pll who spend alot of materials , atleast had a sense of not getting screwed) my buddy had a full 500 GS across all his 4 builds, he got 35 drops , 28 !! was below 495 , we had 1x 500GS drop and 6 purple **** drops .... wtf massive ...

I can't imagine the amount of resources I WASTED to get my GS up over 510, only to have it arbitrarily knocked down to 496.

I was able to get it back to 500 by wearing pieces I didn't want to then went to the dz during a time I knew no one would be there like during business hours or really late at night. I advise that for now.

as a solo player i am really loving this new update.The DZ absolutely sucks for solo and no MM for the raid means my options are very limited.Between Destiny,Anthem and now this i am fully aware that i shouldn't be playing these live service games anymore.They aren't for me.

That really does seem to be the best strategy.

I know what you mean. I went into Div 2 with the feeling that this one would be different. That feeling is getting ROFL-stomped currently.


Edit

Since this is Feedback & Suggestions and all I've done so far is complain, here's this. The new Recalibration system should raise appropriate gear scores to 500 instead of over 500 as it did before. Then, achieving a flat 500 isn't such a nightmare. As opposed to punishing dedicated customers. Imagine that.
