So, have all the changes from the intended patch been applied?

Bullet King farm dead?
DZ 31-32 dropping more HE's?
DZ chests dropping HE's?
Less XP lost while dying in DZ?
More xp gained for killing rogues?
CM bosses higher chance of HE drop?

Most of these things have been addressed in the last 2 pages lol

I fired up Destiny after a 6 month break (faulty DS4), and wow. Even with an inferior controller, and half the frame-rate (Playing TD on PC) the combat is still infinitely better than The Division.

I really hope Ubi/Massive continues to improve on the gunplay. The combat just doesn't feel responsive enough, with guns coming across as very weak, and enemy hit reactions feel way off.
 
Yesterday I was losing nearly 10k upon death as a level 44. That's non-rogue. Let's see what it is today (if I die). I'm gonna spend 100% of my time in the dz tonight in an effort to get to 50. Shouldn't be a problem unless there are a bunch of rogues.

There will be a bunch of rogues you just need to group up. I wonder how much exp you get for killing rogues.

This is a bad comparison, Destiny is an FPS and a good one at that, the division is a TPS. I agree the gameplay leaves something to be desired but we should be comparing to other TPS and not FPS.

Do you guys happen to know if the Healing skill with the damage modifier stacks with the Pulse skill with the damage modifier?

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like

Yes it does
 
Don't even want to finish leveling to 30. Feels like the devs gave everyone a massive advantage when you combine the love-fest that the DZ has been up to this point, and then the BK exploit. They end both of those things and turn the DZ into a real PvP area. How the hell are slower levelers ever going to compete once they hit 30 now that the game is functioning closer to as intended?

All yellows apart from the holster. Hopefully I can get a good High-End one because the Superior one is really good.

really you just need 160ish PC to get a vector/AK (this is like a day or 2 max of dailies) and you are on par with most people. Then you can play normally and get purples and yellows for CM or DZ grinding.

Grab me if you see me. I cycled between 47-49.5 and never got to 50 because of some stupid deaths (non-rogues) which were way too punitive. Was really frustrated - trying to get to 50 to pick up the blueprints.

I actually support this post. I want more sniper/rifle options to be viable.

Same. I've been trying the M44 (LV21) for a few hours and it pales in comparison to my old (LV15) M1A.

The other snipers just don't have the same DPS or utility at all. I can't tell if some of the slower RPM rifles have better armour penetration or what (or if that's even a stat) but they seem pretty useless in comparison to the M1A.

Nope lol. Last night in a Hard Mode run with Gaffers someone got it at the end. I think Iceman has had about 8-10.

Oh well I got enough Phoenix Credits to buy the AK-74 and Vector blueprints. ;D

I think I have 8. It was late when I fell asleep. I lost count. I logged off with 850 pcreds and realized I need to grind DZ rank to go buy loot.

Can you buy the kneepad blueprint now without fear of breaking your game if you already have a backpack crafted?

Okay I'll holler when I get on. Have a fantasy baseball draft tonight so not sure when. And yeah, the penalty for dying is just insane. Or, it was, not sure about it now. Like you, had some stupid deaths from just being overconfident, or getting into a big fight and having no health packs.

Yeah I have a really good lvl 31 superior holster that I got from the DZ that has all three stats. I even re-rolled it until I got a mod slot too. It will be really hard to get a HE holster that compares to it, and really expensive to re-roll even if I do get one.

As rank 5 this is no punishment at all.

Yes, this seems basically trivial now.

As I said in the thread yesterday, DZ tension, not out and out PvP carnage, was for me the unique element of this game. Now since you don't have to worry about going rogue, why not just go rogue at all times?

Hopefully the increase in drop rate of chests applies across all levels and makes the DZ attractive and viable for farmers as wells as PvPers. Otherwise I could see the new meta being nothing more than grind CM/dailies, DZ as PvP/gank zone.

I still don't get why they didn't leave the loss the same for a rogue death and simply increase the reward. The sheer risk when going rogue, for me at least, was a big chunk of the fun. Oh well. Life goes on. :)


I don't understand?

They're not asking for a nerf to the M1A, they're asking for a buff to some other guns in the marksman class to better differentiate them whilst at the same time making more of them viable for specialist roles (BR/DMR/BASR).

Yea, I'm at level 20. Enjoying leveling, but have a feeling going into the DZ at level 30 isn't going to be as much fun as it has been at levels 14, 19, etc. Gearing up will help, but will take weeks to get up to what people have now. Oh well, that's how I figured this game (loot games with pvp) would go so not entirely surprised there.
