One of the issues I've noticed with heartbreaker, memento, and other stacking builds is there's a weird balance to difficulty levels. Challenging or lower and you often just don't get enough bad guys to really roll the stacks, but heroic or legendary it's more risky trying to grab backpack...

I don't know what the long term roadmap is, but protos are not really any different than other systems that have been put in place over the course of the game. Initially gear was all rng and you had to farm. Then once the no-lifers got full god roll sets they opened it up to optimization. Same...

I'm just curious how many upgrades I dismantled during my ronin farm. Barely enough time to even dismantle all much less actually look at what was dropping. Probably not any when I think about it as it was on normal.

I would say it's pretty friendly to get back into either from a long absence or completely fresh. With targeted loot you can get completely functional builds on the easiest settings which don't even require any cohesive gear to be successful. That gear will be marginal stats but the set bonuses...

I love the pestilence but I realize I don't know how it actually works in conjunction with other stuff. Is the dot the amount that direct hits from the pesti land for? So with overdogs I target a red first I'll get a 30% bigger dot? And what happens when it transfers after kill? Are all the...

If it really is fixed I wonder if they'll tweak the intended drop rate. The community blew past the first reward faster than anticipated but my guess is donations grind to a halt. The players most likely to donate because they already had god rolled named were the ones hammering the spawn bug...

That's a tough one. Sure, for the people running around with the sole intent of farming Kits a fast cooldown would be nice but there are people trying to do other things open world. It's easy to say "they should want kit spawns anyway even if they don't think they do" but think how annoying it...

Maybe I've just been lucky on key drops but I think the drop chance is per individual kill, not the group. I've gotten at least two keys per spawn at least twice now which is why I think this is the case. So a normal 10 minute spawn gives you 5-6 chances at a key which should be around a 25%...

The old me would hope any "retcon" isn't really changing the story and just showing something from an angle we didn't see in Endgame. Perhaps lost in the background of that final fight was some X-Men or F4 or someone. They were there but we didn't see them in Endgame. The story and result were...

I don't know if it's real or not but it "feels" like the various reward caches give stat rolls at least on par with challenging. I guess it makes sense since the caches themselves aren't tagged with difficulty tier. Following the quantity over quality idea you could speed run cache rewarding...

When I say I made a bulwark build what I really meant is I put on a crappy IA mask and holster. Never bothered to mod anything or look for better drops. I only played it for one mission to check it out. In hind sight I probably should have at least tried to put some skill cores on to boost the...

Yeah, I got the Tempest blueprint on one of my first retaliations and promptly made a bulwark pistol build to lol face tank shit. Of course I suck at paying attention to getting flanked while laughing and get killed anyway.

It almost feels bad coming back after a long time off. I worked my ass off for some rare items and exotics back in the day and they drop like candy now. An hour or two of priority missions and you get as many exotics as you used to get in a week of farming.

This is what I've been running a lot lately too except I'm using UA mask that I got god rolled. I'm not even sure Capacitor is that much less in real terms. The stat sheet does a weird thing where it doesn't immediately apply the skill tiers to the damage unless you flip to the stats page and...

While I don't have it personally, there are quite a few people with the quickstep manhunt still in their log. You can farm the robo dogs without killing the main target and get the Quickstep and other xmas drops pretty quickly.
