Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I was so happy to see the legendary drop last night. Very surprised. Then that all faded when it was just a component that didn’t have good perks or inscriptions. The higher shields and armor are the only good thing. It just offers no offensive or farming benefit.

skillzdadirecta Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 I'm hopping back on in a little bit after I get some work done. Hopefully I have better luck than yesterday.

skillzdadirecta Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Two Legendary contracts down on GM 2... two MW of the exact same type. That I already had So right now it's pointless to run GM 2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom631 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 First mission since last wed-thurs - glitched and didn’t progress to next objective. Had to quit. Lmao. I thought they fixed this. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first GM2 i got a legendary and a couple MWs, but the couple after that were just as you said so i went back to GM1. Its also not really fun putting an entire 400 round mag in an enemy and them not being dead yet, then they just look in your direction and you have to hide behind a rock.

With my combat build I still only got 1MW, but got almost as many drops as my luck build on GM1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atom631 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 wow they made Gm1 so easy now. I barely even take damage. We took down 2 titans in about 1 minute. I got a total of 5 MW in the 3 contracts. No legendaries...again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 4 stronghold runs and 3 contracts - not a legendary in sight. I’m done. See y’all in Divison 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I had a single Legendary this morning off a Legendary Contract boss, the Spider Mech. Lots of Masterworks today in all the things I did, but the Legendary's are still scarce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Last night ran GM2 Heart of Rage with Skillz and ARZ, pulled a Legendary from a chest, 6 MW and 1 Legendary, so not a bad run. Did my Legendary Contract this morning and had a brand new objective I've never seen before... not that the gameplay was different. If they introduce new World Events and Objectives they also need to incorporate new gameplay elements. Make obstacle like courses or time trials for flying... the flying mechanic is done so well but so underused when it comes to objectives...

When we were doing that stronghold last night, I was using my Ranger which was still underpowered without any consumables because you guys started the match so quick The only thing keeping me alive was my fancy flying and I thought man... they need to play this up more. Might be tough for the Colossus though. That thing flies like a brick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaladinSolo Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I think i'm done with this, and i'm not sure they'll ever get this fixed, the biggest problem i'm running into is that the loot is basically the same through out the game except for the item level, each weapon has 3 types, slow but hits hard, medium fire rate with medium damage, or fast and lower damage, then as masterwork they add a special effect and thats it, and often times its just another stat no real special effect or anything, legendary is the same but with higher base stats and nothing else. Borderlands 2 was great cause of legendary weapons that did crazy shit, like a shotgun that hit the target and exploded outward with more fragments doing massive damage, or a rocket launcher that launched giant orbs that carpet bombed explosions as it traveled. Nevermind the crappy drop rate causing an unending grind of random content and limited stronghold missions that vary wildly in difficulty so everyone is mostly just running tyrant mines over and over. What compounds this is the lack of skill/talents to boost what items you have gotten, which makes the drop rates and RNG of the loot even more painful.

Dre801 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 No worries, they'll accidentally make the loot better then patch that out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 I agree the entire loot and gear systems need to be rethought. And even with the appearance of the javelin not being tied to gear, I still feel like having a few slots tied to the suit that could create unique appearances for drops could go a long way as well. The guns don’t necessarily need to be all that insane if they keep adding more and more gear and abilities as well. Borderlands had 1 ability per class, the Guns were that game. I enjoyed Borderlands a lot and the characters played very unique, but there wasn’t much craziness in their abilities. Anthem has done a good job with the Javelins and abilities, but need to keep them coming. Also have unique effects for the Legendary gear. If you use a Legendary seeker rocket have it set off a gjallahorn type effect or something compared to a regular seeker rocket. I still think a lot can and will be improved upon. The game really feels like it was forced out a year before the devs wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Vic20 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 As did I. It was a fun romp, just a shame they didn't plan far enough ahead. With Div2 seemingly the media's darling alternative, things will be tough for Bioware even if they mange to turn it around in short order.

ALIEN-gunner Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 I just reached level 10. The game is good so far but the framerate seems a bit worse than it was at release. The internet keeps telling me The Division 2 is a better alternative but I can't see how that can be since it's a "peekaboo" shooter where your feet are glued to the ground. I'll stick with Anthem for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPDunks4 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 You can tell Division 2 is a sequel that took all their learnings from the original and improved on all those mistakes. It’s a good looter shooter, but the gameplay is pretty bare thus far. The enemies do feel a bit more organic and aggressive and do flank smartly almost the times. I think Anthem can have a much higher ceiling but it’s gonna take BioWare quite a bit of time to get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spawn_of_Apathy Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Got admit, Anthem has been easier to put down than I thought it would be. For all my bitching about Destiny, that game sucked me in for way too many hours. The wait for Act 1 to start with Anthem has been long. I hate when we get a date like “March” and they really meant the end of March. It’s like when something is “Summer” and they mean September. The loading in Anthem is still pretty bad. Exacerbated by the limited number of art on the loading screen. Last night I tried to jump into a quick play Strong hold. Long load screen and I got an error connecting to EA servers, and I was back in Fort Tarsis. Tried again. Long loading screen and it errored due to failing to load my pilot info, and I was back to fort Tarsis. Tried again and it loaded into a bugged Stronghold that would not progress. Had to quit out. Finally just selected a specific Stronghold from the map and got to play one. I only got one MW, and it wasn’t one I didn’t have, don’t use, and was otherwise bored with the idea of trying to play anything else because Injad spent five times as long staring at loading screens. The loot wouldnt be so much an issue if the server issues and loading were far better than they are, because I could hop from activity to activity much faster.

JPDunks4 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 I still get on to do my daily stuff, but other than that, I'm fine waiting until they start dropping new content and other things. I still really enjoy the gameplay but I don't get any sense of progression at this point. I'd assume they probably had plans to have some content out earlier but with how buggy everything is that's the priority. Lots of work to do for them for sure. It was a perfect time for Division 2 to drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I flew to the Northeast part of the map last night to see if I could tell if anything was new, then realized it said Northwest. Were there just tons of predators spawned all over the place at least?

From what i've read it just increased the spawn of predator animals, and i guess it ended yesterday, cause i logged in to see what it was and found nothing, spent an hour and didn't even get a MW. Edit: Ok, it basically just created a world event where brutes and ursix would spawn, and each event was identical to the rest, as well as increased spawn rates of wolven, scorpions, ect..
