Hollywood event is just stupid | Forums

Are you seriously complaining that optional tasks are too annoying? They're optional. They're challenges...you know....CHALLENGING! Did you want them to be easy or something?


F**k....I swear this community gets more and more degenerate every day. The complete and total disconnect from reality is shocking. Cognitive dissonance defined. You want challenges, but want them to be easy and convenient. You get given advice, but then call it bad even when it solves or mitigates the "problem". You want to turn it off....but then don't just turn it off?!?!?!?!?


Seek help. Seriously. Professional help. Either that or just go outside and stop creating misery for yourself.

Yeah, I don't get it. First, you don't have to activate it. Second, I am an old man with a family and limited play time, and still I found most of the challenges exceptionally easy. How can they be so difficult as some make them out to be?

There are a few I don't care for or that require a play style I am not fond of, so I skip those. Big whoop. You don't have to do 100% of every challenge even to claim 100% of the rewards, so pick and choose!

Having said that, this is not my favorite GE, but it's not my least favorite either (that might be the polarity one - I skipped most of that).

There are fun challenges and annoying challenges.
If there were more ways to remove the shield, like hitting weakpoints or melee, then one could adapt his playstyle.
In this case the ways to approach it are limited to either use an explosive build, or swap one skill for seekers or EMP.

Or just turn the event off. It's optional, after all.

Or just leave it on and deal with the added bullet sponge. Many high-damage builds are very effective at this. An all red AR or Rifle build I used...I didn't notice a lot of difference with the "shield" on. But then again, I regularly play with the Ragers directive, so I'm used to plowing through massive healthbars.

I agree that the event is not very creative. But it's also not the worst thing ever imagined either. There are plenty of ways around it, including just not playing it.

There are low skilled players in the game or completely ignorant - I was doing a time trial and the guy had all the directives activated on hard and open every crate and box - why - the goal is to get the best time on the board - it was ridiculous I just left and said nothing.

Polarity was one of my favourite, this one must be the one I like the least.
This will probably be the first GE I will not complete.

They could have been playing at Hard and did not care for the league? Just guessing.

I have never done any of the events.....ooops tell a lie i done Golden Bullet for about 5mins and got bored

After they revamped all the other old GEs, Hollywood really stands out as being pretty bad. No player buffs, just a straight nerf to players unless they use specific builds.

[Noxious81]

And I feel that it's a nerf that doesn't really alter the gameplay in a significant or enjoyable way (like Guardians did). You can pretty much stampede through challenging missions with the GE on and use the enemies' shields as a free scanner pulse. There's no huge difference. And with some directives on you can quickly earn stars.

It's just... that it's definitely not more fun than playing without the GE (this being a personal opinion).

No player buffs

Yeah, except for basically unlimited specialization ammo if you kill things with explosives.

[esteban17]

if i see objectives with grenades or melee, i pass, this is a freakin shooter and grenades in this game are useless unless you play in normal. this event is just not fun, golden bullet was waaaaayyyyy better

I did the Arena on heroic and in one spot I kept throwing my flash bangs and got that item off the list in 4 mins very easy. I killed all the rogue agents and the three bosses and got 8 named guys on one run guess everyone else missed. Didn't know rogues count as named enemies.
Did all the melee on normal not because its easy but because its faster and who cares if it on normal - this whole event has been super easy.
People don't seem to want hard events in this game they want to get everything with minimum resistance and get upset if they feel its too hard.
They have even made it easier you had to complete everything to get all the booty now you only need half. How much easier do they need to make it?
