    The point of heroic difficulty?

    Sure the enemies feel tougher
    Sure you have to work more cohesively

    But the rewards are just as bad as everything else. At least make all loot dropped be max rolls or something.

    Im always flabbergasted every time i find PURPLE items in Heroic difficulty. Besides being an option for those who really want some challenging situations, Heroic missions supposed to drop exotic item ... but so far out of 20-30 times i played, i have not seen ONE exotic item drop. To make this concept even worse, i got Odessa's Kneepad [EXOTIC] from the saving Eleanor mission ... and that is NOT a Heroic difficulty -_-

    And on top of that: UNDER MAX LEVEL PURPLE ITEMS. Trash like that should not drop in Heroic. GS500 is what it should be.

    At least on the invaded ones you get a guaranteed name item I noticed.

    For me there's no loot incentive though, but they don't take any longer than challenge difficulty, so why not, you get some extra XP from it.

    Yeah you are right on that one!
    Bu i kinda like the TD1 legendary plan once a week you get an exotic and if you do not die the hunter dropped one that was kinda perfect in my eyes.

    There's a LOT they need to do tbh. Improve drops of better gear (even with targeted loot I still rarely find something better) and improve calibration, its great, but can still be better. Either let us re-calibrate en ENTIRE gear piece or at the very least a 2nd attribute. The biggest reason I can't find something better is because there's always 1 or 2 things that make it junk. Skills I need? Yes! Damage is 5k less. Lame. Damage is 5k better? The skills are trash and I can only replace one of them.

    They're just a bit too random to the point where most of what I see is junk. What's the point of giving a Marksman Rifle better damage when you're 5m away or close? I dont get it. Either way TU6 was a great step forawrd, but I'm getting burned out because I can't stand playing for 2 hours and maaaaaaaaaaaybe getting something better than what I have equipped already.

    Purple drops on heroic is a kick in the face. Should never see these drops ever.

    Since tu6 I have found a fg kneepads and overlord chest that allowed me one more talent slot so I could finally change my mask that I have had for months that has 47 dte and creeping death, I had to sacrifice for some lower attributes, the recalibration in tu6 did nothing to help. I know 2 would have helped me but only on items with four pieces. I think the idea of recalibrating every roll 1 time would be interesting, it wouldnt take the grinding out of the game because after you recalibrate good rolls and found better ones, you would have to grind for all better rolls than you have in order to use it.

    Since Exotic caches aren't a thing in this game, the only thing that would constitute as Heroic rewards imo would be 500 GS items...

    Spoiler:  Show

    .....if gear score actually reflected quality. So state of rewards are stuck until they do something about this borked density and loot quality debacle.
