No further explanation. We understand because we've been here from the start and the game respects us and doesn't treat us like idiots..
You didn't have a PS3 right, so this is your first play through? Great game and the MP is actually a lot of fun especially if you can find a decent group, lots of strategy and teamwork involved.
I love the social part more than I love the game at this point.
Yeah, no question that has been the saving grace even since the beginning considering how thin the main content is. Working together on raids and pvp matches is a blast though.
I'm having a hard time understanding the complete meltdown people are having over this.
My feelings are that if you have a maxed 300 exotic, it'll most likely be useful for every content in the expansion except the hard raid.
I can't see it as anything but fair. They're not taking anything away from me..
1.) People are upset, but nobody is having a meltdown.
2.) We don't know yet what level all of the story missions and strikes will go up to, and I'm not positive but my understanding is that Lv30 NFs and Weeklies would also benefit from higher attack and defense ratings. The next Iron Banner/Trials of Osiris will definitely benefit from the higher ratings.
3.) For some people like myself, the high level raiding and Iron Banner are the sole attractions. That means there are A LOT of exotics I want maxed for these activities.
4.) They released the update Monday and didn't communicate jack until people had already wasted a lot of exotic shards, XP, glimmer, etc.
5.) They are taking something away: the time spent maxing exotics (no, the time I've spent using them now doesn't offset this), the unique perks when you reset, and the freedom to re-level exotics on our own schedule since it depends on Xur and nobody will want to pass up an opportunity to re-level something since we don't know when he'll bring it back especially with all his repeat inventory so far.
6.)
It sets a terrible precedent for any expansion going forward.
Of course its not the end of the world but "anything but fair" is a major stretch imo. My plan is to do the new content, then put it to rest until expansion 2 hits. I'll still buy stuff/reset stuff with Xur but I'm not doing the grind again if it's all going to reset again in a couple months.
The reaction to the information about the exotics is just funny. Would you rather they just make the exotics be shittier and shittier the more expansions they put out? Atleast you have an option now to keep using your favorite guns.
In Diablo 2 the unique items became shit when they released the expansion. This system might not be perfect, but atleast I'll be able to use my Thorn and my Truth. I wish you didn't have to unlock all the special perks though. The damage nodes would be enough.
"It could be worse!" is the only defense people have for this, and its an incredibly flimsy one. Diablo 2 was released 14 years ago.
