Thoughts on Onslaught.
Got asked to check out the mode by other vets like myself that have quit and won't be returning. So I decided to take a look.
Onslaught is definitely a good Horde Mode. It's definitely the best out of the Slew we've gotten in D2. Its the first time since Forsaken I've actually had fun playing. The weapons I'm on the side of these should've never been sunsetted, and I hate having to re-earn them. However, everything around the mode is bad.
The weapons quests I so far dislike them. Tried the SMG one used an SMG mainly in a full 50 rounds, which came out with 15% Progress. Telling me this is going to be a slog or a bug. The fact the hub of the mode has bounties that award me more progress for not playing the mode is insane. The reputation I have no comment on. Seems slow, but I barely was paying attention.
So yes, good PvE mode. Everything else I'd remove. Make bounties only for Onslaught instead of asking me to go raid or dungeon run or Gambit to get good progress. Weapons take em or leave them. Armor wise, Warlocks deserve better.
All in all, the usual Bungie fashion 1 step forward 5 steps back.

The Arctite bounty to do a 20-run Onslaught in one go was a bit confusing for this old tortoise. I started on my H…getting as many Brave bounties (from Shax) done at Shuto Chi…then did the first Onslaught on the left portal. Ok - ten waves doable. Moved to the right portal and got up to 38 waves done…which was a mite tedious…but still that Arcite ‘20-run’ bounty was ‘incomplete’…the targets section was already done. Time for a nap.😴 Switched to sol T on the right portal…got many waves done…but tedium growing…especially when tanky yellow bars appear from nowhere and ruin the run. Notwithstanding that, although I had a different Arcite bounty on, it still indicated the Hs ‘20-run’ one, and, it did not complete - even though we went way past 20 runs (on T)… I prefer to do the PvP Arcite bounty as I don’t do raids or dungeons. So, this won’t be done quickly. I’m not entirely enjoying the overwhelming tanky horde mode…it’s a bit too much for this old tortoise. And I’m okay with that. I’ll do what I can, and leave it at that. Pantheon might be another pass, too. Though I am liking the Brave weapons and attunement aspect! ✅ Just my 2d worth. Ease springs! 🫡

1 ответUse a Shuro Chi checkpoint for your weapon quests. For the SMG quest I used a Mini-Tool with incandescent on it and had it done in literally afew minutes. Same with the other quests. Grenade Launcher with chain reaction was also done very quickly for the Edge Transit quest. Let the gun perks do the work for you 😀

10 отв.Is it possible to get past wave 10 in matchmade match? Seems like I go to orbit after 10 waves.

1 ответTo be honest, it's just Forges again, but that's fine because that was one of the better seasons.

2 отв.Cant please yall for nothing. Everything has to be easy, even grinding boutnies. I got to 38% in 20 waves with the smg bounty. Destiny community, everyone,1 good positive 5 negatives
-
That was my thought it is an okay event designed to be an absolute grind. I had the raid sniper rifle drop 3 times in day one play and I have a perfect version of it so again nothing of value for the time spent which means I won’t be back. I am just not a fan of this as it is about the same as every other seasonal activity we have had in the last several years and all the loot you might want is linked to endless grind

1 ответNormal mode 50 rounds runs a little long, at about an hour.

2 отв.I usually hate on bungie but the seasonal activity is actually fun, max rank last season for me was 12, I’ll probably complete the season pass this go around.

2 отв.Изменено (A_mo): 4/10/2024 5:57:09 PMI haven't done the 50 wave one yet but it's one of the best seasonal activities if not the best so far. The replayability and variety easily put it top 3 and I've only played it like 4 times. The smg bounty is basically a pvp bounty and recluse (not to mention 30 or so other smgs) is hitting hard enough that it shouldn't be a big deal to complete. Definitely a good way to do the weapons instead of having people fight over them. I like that it ties into the story well and shaxx has a presence. There's also a lot of little things for fans of the franchise like the iron banner seal thing still on fire while stored in a closet, which definitely shouldn't be any other way. Overall the whole thing looks like it will be up there among the best seasonal content and it's the perfect lead in to Final Shape because there's various paths to take to get things and all the player types have something designed with them in mind.

3 отв.It starts out a bit too easy for my taste. Maybe if we started out at 5 under, it wouldn’t be a fight with the other players to kill adds. Outside of that, I find the later levels to be sufficiently hard and with a high enough add density to keep us satisfied. Map diversity is a bit lack luster, but due to the constant changing location upon the map, each level feels at least partially unique. Legend is HARD man. You have to prepare and endgame build when going into it, and you have to know how to play the mode. I love it. Can’t wait till I finally get my first full 50 wave completion. Outside of all of this, it’s probably going to be a mode that dies off relatively quickly, much like DOE, but it’s a good mode.

27 отв.Изменено (The Hermit IX): 4/10/2024 1:37:06 PMI haven’t played it a lot but I like it. I like the weapons and rewards too. Many of the weapons are best in slot and better than the original versions. Can’t wait to get my hands on a superior version of Blast Furnace. I like that we have something new to do over the next couple months, leading up to the massive DLC coming. Nice to get free content.
