disappointing. to say the least.
it was supposed to be "strike specific loot". it seems only recently that it was changed to read "nightfall specific loot".
it would have been better to be just like in D1. where you could grind away on the strike playlist if you wanted. or you could run the nightfall for a "better" chance. having it be nightfall only is just bad. for instance - this weeks is the nightfall for the sniper. i don't want the sniper. so i won't be doing the nightfall. and since the loot isn't in normal or heroic strikes... there's just no reason for me to run any strikes. and i don't care about the ghost shell or the sparrrow. so there is no motivation for me to do a nightfall until the hand cannon or auto rifle nightfall comes up. so instead of putting the loot in the strike loot - pool and giving people a chance to grind for it whenever they want.... it's now time-gated to only when that strike is the current nightfall.
sometimes i wonder who thinks up some of this stuff.

I feel like it is due to a lack of prepared content, they supposedly took a month to perfect the weapons but all I see is 3 guns and 4 useless aesthetics. I saw one person saying they're holding back loot for the DLC drop in May but that doesnt make sense if they were wanting to give incentive to player when they've just dropped this update. All it does is set a bad president for what may come, and disheartens players who thought this Loot Update was going to capture some of the unique aspects of D1 Strike weapons.
