Minority Mindset

In the context of the 87+ Campaign Mix SBC, opinions are divided among players due to the change in rewards. Initially, players were promised one out of four cards, but now they only receive one out of three. This shift, while appearing minor, is similar to reducing someone’s ice cream flavor choices from four to three, and removing a favorite like chocolate chip cookie dough. Some users, such as PositiveUsual2919, have shown a degree of acceptance, suggesting that the lowered expectations might still be worth the risk, especially at this price point, implying that even an average outcome (meh) could potentially lead to better results. This attitude suggests a belief that taking risks can sometimes result in pleasant surprises.

Star Paths operate similarly to a Battle Pass system. Users accomplish various tasks to accumulate tokens. These tokens serve as keys to unlock unique, limited-time rewards. Each Star Path adheres to a specific theme. Previous themes have encompassed villainous characters, music, and fairy tales.

On February 24th, Dr Disrespect pointed fingers at some of his previous friends, including NICKMERCS, TimTheTatman, among others, following the termination of their friendship over accusations that he sent inappropriate messages to a minor.

The main issue is centered around the Master of Arms perk and its interaction with the explosive payload perk. While the Master of Arms is intended to boost damage when switching weapons after a kill, and explosive payload adds an area-of-effect damage component, they don’t seem to work as expected when used together. Instead of enhancing each other, they appear to have a detrimental effect. Players like ThunderD2Player have expressed this frustration, stating that the explosive payload damage is significantly reduced to just 2%, far from what one would expect for such a powerful combination. Essentially, using both perks together seems more like trying to fight with water balloons against a beehive, rather than achieving the anticipated massive power boost.

When Finality’s Auger was introduced, players envisioned themselves controlling a powerful turret capable of overpowering both allies and enemies. However, much like a dog soiling the rug immediately after extensive training, enthusiasm turned into disenchantment rather swiftly. The article emphasizes that, while the design appears impressive on paper, it feels awkward and sluggish in practice. All users agreed that the turret’s core feature—the target marking mechanism—introduced unnecessary complexity to the gameplay. One player succinctly described it as feeling “like a clunky Anarchy,” and disappointment reverberated throughout the comments. The consensus among Guardians is that, despite being intended as a playful tool, the actual experience is disappointingly underwhelming, much like a pancake dropped during flipping.

The conversation has shifted more towards addressing the problem of generic damage in recent times. User Impressive-Wind7841 expressed a sentiment shared by many, stating that while abilities like Ionic Sentry are indeed powerful, they lack the complexity needed to foster interesting build creation. Players have noted that these abilities don’t interact with “surges,” which enhance damage for certain attack types. User SpectralGerbil offered a creative solution by suggesting the addition of mods tailored for these diverse damaging abilities. Many players feel that their Warlock class is being pigeonholed into primarily dealing damage due to the restriction on building creatively with armor mods or fragments. In essence, players are finding themselves in an inconvenient predicament where their favorite Warlock class is being reduced to essentially powerful damage dealers with limited build flexibility.

The main topic in discussions about elemental siphon modifications centers around their energy requirements. User TehSavior pointed out that when using strong mods for weapon locators, it’s challenging to maintain a sturdy build. If you include a heavy ammo finder, a dynamo, and a primary weapon that doesn’t match your super, the total energy consumption skyrockets to 9 points. This forces players to settle for a single low-cost, low-impact mod like a 1 cost 5 discipline or mobility mod. A reduction in energy cost to 2 would offer enough flexibility to add more beneficial mods to the loadout, enabling players to strategically allocate points across resilience, recovery, and intellect stats. The goal is to provide more viable options which leads to more innovative builds and a more engaging gameplay experience.
