With the release of Forsaken, I feel we all moved to doing blind well instead of escalation protocol. Contrary to escalation protocol, blind well doesn't have any meaningful gear to grind for and relic weapons to have fun with.
It's such a shame that we're leaving the Valkyrie + Hive swords on mars, and instead we get harmony orbs that recharge our supers...
Perhaps, with the release of black armory, could we get some new loot for escalation protocol to grind for, since we are getting new weapons. Rasputin might want to buff/ create new weapons for us to wield and test.
Maybe some kind of new pinnacle quest for this activity could good as well. Integrating the loot threshold mechanic for weapon and armor loot could be great as well, such as each time you clear wave 7 but didn't get the weapon, you have additional chance to get it in your next run until you finally get it.
Let me know what kind of weapon or boss ideas do you have for a revitalized escalation protocol. :D
-
A Kinetic fusion to go in the primary slot. I want a gravity gun dang it.
-
The very fact that all the year 1 gear is useless says enough EP is an endgame activity and weapons and armors are still useless They should just make all gear like the year 2 with the perks
-
Add the Osprey rocket launcher to the EP loot pool because it sure as hell isn't dropping in the nightfall.
-
None... New content is coming, dont want reskinned activities
-
I have an entire video where I go in depth on why blind well loot is in a bad place, and how bungie can improve it. I'm sure you and I can agree on a lot of points I make in this Video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LduwWKyclY&t=1s

Before they add anything with EP / Blind Well, they should fix the Lobby Setup first. Have a proper 9 Member Team Match making Lobby, for Both instances. we have been kicked, completely for running blind well with 9 members in a FT. don't know if its a "server" issue or what the problem was, but it took us almost 40 minutes to set something up. I agree, there is opportunity for new content, and Bungie should and can capitalize on this, but there are a lot of other things, overlooked. now, yeah both EP and BW can be run as a Public event, with Randoms, but what is the point of that if you have a Clan and a Full Fireteam?
-
I’ve ran ep 3 times shotgun first go cloak second nothing 3rd I would like the full gear but can’t find a team matchmaking would be so much better. Make the gear have new ornaments each season. Something to freshen it up
-
he says as if EP gear is undesired and irrelevant. EP is fine, and gets run surprisingly plenty, as when i was trying to use it to quickly level up the new sub-classes, i'd almost always have people run in and progress it when all i wanted to do was farm wave 1.
-
Look how many upvotes and comments you have yet bungie is avoiding this post like a plague xD
-
They won’t update the loot pools on purpose so all the new DLC content stays the most relevant. They’ll probably update them when they want to scale all the old activities up as well. When the game slows down in content.
-
Unfortunately this is a habit in destiny, stuff becomes obsolete very quickly. As much as I would like to see what you suggest I highly doubt it will happen, I also don’t believe things will change in D3.
-
I would just love for them to bring old gear forward. Almost have the full escalation armor set for my titan. Totally badass but I won't be raiding in it that's for damn sure. Also a big fan of the gynsym knight armor from Io. I love the way it looks but again, can't do anything serious in it. Honestly like the year one armor better for hunter/warlock.

Some ideas for so new weapons to make EP more viable. Each has barrel and 2nd Perk Randomized. The main perk and the magazine are always fixed. The barrel will have 3 options and the final perk will have 2 options on each individual weapon. IKELOS_FR_V2.1.3 - Void Fusion Rifle [spoiler] - Frame: Precision - Barrel: Any (Randomized) - Magazine: Seraph Rounds - Perk 1: Condensed Burst - This weapon fires fewer bolts, but each bolt deals more damage. (Decreases number of bolts from 7 to 5 and adds a slight bit of additional damage on top of adjusted damage per bolt) - Perk 2: Rampage, Moving Target, High Impact Reserves, Snapshot, Field Prep (Randomized) [/spoiler] Stats: [spoiler] - Impact: 80 - Range: 71 - Stability: 51 - Handling: 40 - Reload: 31 - Aim Assist: 60 - Charge Time: 740 - Mag Size: 6 [/spoiler] IKELOS_AR_V2.0.2 - Kinetic Auto Rifle [spoiler] - Frame: High Impact - Barrel: Any (Randomized) - Magazine: Seraph Rounds - Perk 1: Glutton - Rounds have a chance to deal twice the damage (15%) at the cost of 3x the Ammo. (Every time it activates, the mag consumes 3 Ammo instead of 1) - Perk 2: Hip Fire Grip, Zen Moment, Auto-Loading Holster, Kill Clip, Field Prep (Randomized) [/spoiler] Stats: [spoiler] - Impact: 33 - Range: 89 - Stability: 44 - Handling: 45 - Reload: 24 - Aim Assist: 60 - RPM: 360 - Mag Size: 34[/spoiler] IKELOS_SR_V2.1.0 - Kinetic Scout Rifle [spoiler] - Frame: Rapid Fire Frame - Barrel: Any (Randomized) - Magazine: Seraph Rounds - Perk 1: Focused Fighter - Rapid Repeated Precision hits on an Enemy do more damage. Resets on missed shot or if on a different target. (Scales beginning on 4th Shot: +5%, 10%,... Scales by 5% with a maximum of 35%) - Perk 2: Explosive Rounds, Slideshot, Firefly, Quickdraw, Outlaw (Randomized) [/spoiler] Stats: [spoiler] - Impact: 45 - Range: 44 - Stability: 52 - Handling: 48 - Reload: 39 - Aim Assist: 55 - RPM: 260 - Mag Size: 18[/spoiler] IKELOS_MG_V2.0.1 - Solar Machine Gun [spoiler] - Frame: Adaptive? Middle of the road... - Barrel: Any (Randomized) - Magazine: Seraph Rounds - Perk 1: Tripod - this weapon grants increased range, stability, precision damage, and damage resistance when using cover. (Damage Resistance is +10%, weaker than most supers, and precision damage increases multiplied by .25x. - Perk 2: Hip Fire Grip, High Impact Reserves, Outlaw, Dynamic Sway Reduction, Zen Moment (Randomized) [/spoiler] Stats: [spoiler] - Impact: ??? - Range: 34 - Stability: 52 - Handling: 32 - Reload: 33 - Aim Assist: 45 - RPM: 600 - Mag Size: 51[/spoiler]

As much as I hated it, EP was a reason to get online and get some friends together. “Hey chuck do you still need the EP shotgun? We are doing it now get on” Said no one doing blind well.
-
So you’re asking bungie to add content for people who didn’t buy forsaken?
-
Dude, I posted a threat like this a few times. But people are usually more interested in other stuff. Glad somebody shares the opinion of reviving old content.

Bearbeitet von Beserkerrr: 11/24/2018 6:43:23 AMBlind Well is SOOOOOOOOO boring. I do want there to be cool gear behind it but oh my god I really don't know if that would be a good thing or not. It doesn't matter how many times the location you stand in changes... You're still standing in the same fkn spot fighting adds. Blind Well sucks. Escalation Protocol FEELS like a big fight in a huge open area and even tho it's repetitive in a similar way to Blind Well I ENJOY it. It's FUN! Blind Well is blllleeeehhhhhh. It's frustratingly bland. I got my EP Shotgun last night so I guess I'm done with it but if a friend wants to grind for it too I'll happily help. Not sure if I could say the same about Blind Well.

Bearbeitet von ricstar: 11/24/2018 12:49:55 PMEP yes as that can be a proper fight, but blind well is just plain boring and you can easily complete it to heroic version with 3 average players I remember seeing BW in the trailer, it was bright you could see everything and it looked cool. The release saw it go foggy, you can't see the nice environment and it's just a shitty looking event. My opinion obviously but I don't like the fog everywhere. If the fog is to increase difficulty it doesn't work, remove fog and triple the adds attacking you so you have to think about load outs and classes to defeat it to heroic. Or increase adds per round so final level before boss fight is intense Also 1 heroic reward a week per character means I only do it 3 times a week, if at all.
-
I wish! This game can be so good. Damn bungie, are you listening?!?! So many good ideas from your "toxic" and "entitled" community.

With EP and Blind well there should be a exotic exclusive. EP could have a Ikelos_RL Perk-shots from this weapon have a chance to blow right through a target dealing massive damage, rockets drop mini tracking drones on the ground until the rocket hits a target. Very slow velocity ( to increase the amount of drones dropped) very high blast radius Blind well should have a exotic fusion rifle with a slight taken effect and a light effect (because dreaming city and awoken are a mix of darkness and light i think lol) Light Blender Perk- this weapon shoots a mix of taken spikes and orbs, spikes do damage over time for 5 seconds, orbs have a medium sized blast radius that marks targets, targets that are marked and have taken DOT blow up apon kill generating large sized orbs They could also add a few more legendaries to the loot pool of both, ikelos fusion, auto, and grenade launcher for EP. And some blind well weapons but they would need a theme like the ikelos weapons have.
-
I kinda wished they did kinetic ep weapons that would have been good
-
I'd love to see new EP weapons
-
Blind well is such a chore, no challenge, no loot and not enough adds or bosses.
-
The blind well should be able to drop the sparrow,ghost and ship. It should also randomly drop weapons as a means to farm them Just some ideas
-
They should add pocket infinity as a ep reward
-
Escalation Protocol should not be relevant. it is a year 1 activity at over 200 levels below the cap, there should be no meaningful loot from it. the fact that the best energy weapon in the game comes from it is bad enough.
