That's interesting, can't find any info anywhere, share a link if you have it. What I'm seeing now is lots of speculation, nobody actually knows including the idea of it having "raid mechanics", people are assuming stuff, let's see what happens.

I watched the interview today with the bungie dev, he just said it. Need level 25, all faction unlocked, 5k loadout, no rook and team only que. Map probably has mechanics that cant even be completed solo. They worked on this map long before solo que was even a thing

Got VIP and all tree with cyberacme done.

All main contracts for all factions done.

Battle pass fully got all items.

—-

Now I have to just finish trees for the rest and hit level 100.

Ranked grind and cryo grind will take over the stuff I got done. Over 100 hours played.

Lot of meat on the bone.

Fucking hell. Each time I load into a trio with TWO randoms using free loadouts I almost uninstall the game lol.

Cryo forcing people to bring in loot is genius to resolve this lol.

I won't lie I rarely do trios but even then I'm not risking a paid Loadout on randoms. Maybe a green level one idc about. Blue and up? Solo only.
 
Latest patch seems unstable. Crashed for me during a run on perimeter. Seems to happen on 50XX GPU:s mostly... A game like this crashing is.. well a big problem since you loose all stuff

Solo is so fucking lame though. Too many rat ways to die and lose your shit unless you waste time and play one specific way.

Trios up until now I've had some good and some bad matches, but the last two days I've had nothing but shit.

Haven't played since the update yet but I had several crashes before with 5070 Ti. Apparently they fixed the crashing on Perimeter when opening the map which was a few of my crashes but I also had crashing if the game was alt tabbed when you load into a match. Definitely annoying but so far I haven't lost anything as I was able to reconnect before being shot.

Hone your epeen by running free kit solos like a boss while doing quests. I took out a purple shield on a free kit yesterday.

Boogie man shit. No ratting just pure clapping.👏
 
They really need to fix the god damn spawns. So many times you spawn into a match, run straight into the first building in front of you and within 60 seconds you're having a shoot out with another team. Surely they can spread players out more than that. Sometimes I feel the maps are a bit on the small side. Really annoying.

Dire marsh is the only map spawns bug me.
 
Oh sweet vault change, thank you Bungie

Got a few hours to dig in now, priority is still upgrading Cyber Acme for that final vault upgrade lol.

Maintenance in Dire Marsh is bad for it, same with Hauler in Perimeter
Click to expand...
Hauler you know what you're getting into. It's meant to be a kill room/s.

Same with flight control and pinwheel for Outpost.

Dire Marsh is the largest map and there's 4 comers to it. Each team should get corners. In solos is where it's chaotic. You put one in each cornerish, but another 2-4 I believe can also spawn for a total of 6-8 players on a map in solos. So if you put them between a corner, or in a building, or middle of map, fine, but you can't predict they won't just run because of a objective towards one of the key corner facilities. This is what happens because you can reach buildings within 10-15 seconds of running from spawn for a major map location.

I've just learned to rush a building, chill there for one minute while I loot or just hang until my abilities are up. If I hear noise etc I can deal with it accordingly. Running around on dire with a non free kit full stop from spawn is suicide usually.
 
This ARG stuff is pretty crazy. Wonder how things would have played out had people not bothered to solve any of it.

Looks like the current task is to kill 500 million UESC.
 
Here is a question, if one were to run across the length of Dire Marsh - let's say from Maintenance to Bio Research - how long do you think it would take? This is with zero upgrades/chips/special abilities etc. You can of course take advantage of water for faster heat cooldown but let's assume it is a sunny day, no rain. 3-4 minutes? Hard to test in-game obviously lol.
 
This contract on Dire Marsh though



Previous run I took out the commander (all while someone was pinging with a TAD), reached AI Uplink, cunt was camping underneath the walkway and blindsided me, may or may not have been the same TAD cunt in Maintenance, will take the loooong way around West Gate/Intersection/Greenhouse to Bio-Research next time, don't think most would expect that.

This. Is. Marathon.



And a big fuck you to my thumb for hitting the touch pad, could have killed him and gotten a purple shield with who knows what other goodies. Also:



Is this for God damn real? 🍌🍌🍌
 
Ranked will be limited time only since its in beta. It will run from the 21st until the 24th.

Im not really interested in it tbh, but it does sound cool for those who are
 
Don't ever try to get the drop on me lol



No cryo this weekend works for me, want to dig into Crimson Desert anyway. Close to hitting level 40 now, can't believe I'm still hearing fresh voice lines at the start of each run from Oni, either they added more or they recorded that much to begin with, love to see (hear?) it.

Did anyone else notice the new assassin skin in the store?
Click to expand...

Yeah and it looks great but not for the price they are asking lol. Sell character skins for $5 a pop and we have a deal, $15-20 is for a single character skin + a couple of weapon skins is egregious.

Yeah I think this is something Hunt does much better and even Arc, despite not liking their skin designs myself, is far more generous with their offerings.

Definitely, they really need to offer better deals with their skins especially when the weapon charm can only be applied to one gun at a time.
