Oh man, the homemade suit is great.

That’s something I’ve been hating about the expansion too! Not only is it impossible to keep your favorite weapons and armor up to specs, but the random mods and stuff means that the really great-looking set of armor could just be way more impractical that the trash-bag cloak with extra levels and ability regeneration.

For those who don’t want to click the link:

I’m in the middle of The Dragon Prince right now and maybe my biggest gripe is the animation style. I don’t hate the stop-motion CGI effect, but sometimes it’s really hard to read some of the actions, especially when compared to Troll Hunters (another Netflix CGI animation show I liked). Other than that I’m liking it

I would get a couple pieces of powerful gear which would raise my level a bit, which would then drop higher-level gear all around to help out my level a bit more, which might be enough to drop an even better powerful piece of gear, which would round up my legendaries more, and so on and so forth. You were always

Honestly, it wasn’t that bad. I knew I could log on every once in a while, do a few weekly missions, and expect a decent bump in my PL. I always knew I was ready for a raid if my group wanted to get together. Now it looks like they want me to get on every day and everything post PL 500 is a slog. (Which is a shame

What? Why? Dropping legendaries to average out my PL was a great way to get me to play beyond grinding for weekly powerful loot drops. This just feels like another way to waste my time.

Well shoot. That sucks. If thats the case, I really don’t have the time to keep up with this game anymore.

Yeah I get that, it just seems slower than usual. The powerful gear I get isn't THAT powerful and I still get PL 500 gear as normal drops. It just feels like I haven't made any progress in in the past 2 weeks.

Hey, quick question: what’s everybody’s powerful loot drops looking like? I’m getting loot that is often less than 5 levels above my current PL. This means I'm barely over 505 PL and still getting owned by trash in the late-game area. Is this normal? It used to feel like powerful loot at least made my PL jump 1-3

Yes. Absolutely. I like to smell most things because it’s one of my stronger senses plus synesthesia. Smelling things for me can trigger memories or tastes, so like if something is cooking I’ll be like “HOT DAMN, SPAGHETTI AND MEATBALLS” and be able to taste spaghetti and meatballs (or at least very vividly remember

I don’t know. It’s kind of like saying “well there’s one podcast of J. Jonah Jameson being nice to Spider-Man, so clearly it’s a nuanced take of his love-hate relationship with the wall-crawler” when there are hundreds of other instances of him ragging on Spidey. It's not really a fair point if it's brought up and

Yeah, that’s kind of the price of the super-hero genre. “Using violent force is fine if you’re doing it for the greater good” is kind of the first thing you have to deal with suspension of belief. That and radioactive spiders, robot suits, and such.

Yeah, I started the questline and got steamrolled in multiple Gambit matches. When I got killed by an invader using Ace of Spades I was like “fuck this” and went back to grinding weeklies.

CoO and Warmind are ok distractions, but you’re not missing much. The campaigns weren’t really much in the grand scheme of things (the Strikes are better) and a lot of the gear I found pretty pointless with Forsaken’s leveling and increased infusion costs (the weapons aren’t bad per se, it’s just you can randomly roll

For some people it’s an “always there” kind of game. It plays really well and there’s always something to do or achieve in it. It’s the type of game you can always come back to to chill (I’m gonna put on a podcast and grab some weekly rewards, see about infusing my rifle to a higher level) to or challenge yourself

Sad news. I was really hoping that the suit could “finish the fight.”

The reactions here are weird to me, but understandable. I’d be extremely upset if Burger King started selling pizza.
