[quote]Whose brilliant idea was to put the volatile shields trade-off challenge modifier ON SOLO OPS???
I SWEAR TO GOD it feels like at this point this game is just throwing random sh-- to see what sticks. It seems that literally NO THOUGHT went in at deciding which modifiers get put on any playlist.[/quote]
You literally can choose your modifiers, lmao.
English
-
Not on everything.

[quote]Not on everything.[/quote] Every solo ops lets you choose your modifiers. Every activity in the portal lets you choose your modifiers. The only thing with locked modifiers are the conquests.

Fireteam ops with matchmaking on. Everything of interest appears locked.

[quote]Fireteam ops with matchmaking on. Everything of interest appears locked.[/quote] Yeah, I hate to break it to you, but you can customize fire team ops too and then use lfg to fill your team. I don’t think it really needs to be explained why the matchmade one has random rotating modifiers instead of having customized modifiers. This post is also about solo ops. There won’t be matchmaking regardless of customizing or not.

You said: [quote]Every activity in the portal lets you choose your modifiers.[/quote] I was responding to that.

You see, whether I matchmake the devils lair or I customize the modifiers, I’m still playing the same activity. I know, common sense, crazy… To reiterate, all portal activities can be customized. Click that drop down and select customize. Unsurprisingly, that lets you customize.

"matchmade or customize" Clearly not both. Back to the OP's subject, common sense would seem to imply that the Volatile Shields mod doesn't seem very logical in a Solo op. Who's going to defuse you? I think that was the crux of his question. Yes, I know you can activate a healing ability etc. but the handicap seems designed for multiple players and they are just too lame to differentiate it for a solo activity.

The OP is playing solo ops, which doesn’t have matchmaking at all. The defuse can be done by healing or activating your super. It does not require another person. And again, you are not forced to use that modifier. Not in solo ops or any other portal activity. Every portal activity ca be customized.

What are you, a colonel in the BDF?

[quote]What are you, a colonel in the BDF?[/quote] You not knowing you can pick your own modifiers when doing solo ops is hardly my fault…

I am a solo player. We cannot pick modifiers in a [u]matchmade portal Fireteam activity[/u], which is what I use most of the time. If I can do that specific thing, please tell me exactly how, without using the terms "LFG" or "clan" or "friends" or other such Bungo Apologist pablum. You said "every activity in the portal" and that was incorrect. Apparently you are such a dedicated BDF'er that you can't accept that.

If you can talk an hour to complain on here, you can take a couple seconds making a fire team finder post. It should not be confusing to you that matchmade activities don’t support customized modifiers. Who among the randomly matched players gets to decide what modifiers are active? And again, this is a thread about solo ops. [i][b]SOLO[/b][/i] ops.

You said "every" not "every solo" That would have properly focused the point right there.

[quote]It should not be confusing to you that matchmade activities don’t support customized modifiers.

But then why does the "Customize" button even show up? I can click on "modifiers" and see what's applicable.

Yeah, that’s because you can customize every portal activity. I’m not sure what part of this is so confusing for you.

If I can't customize a matchmade activity, why does the Customize button appear just above the Launch button when I'm about to start (a matchmade activity)?

You cannot matchmake any activity. Matchmake and customize don’t go together cause there’s no way to assign one player the right to decide modifiers for the other two players. Hence fire team finder, where the post creator gets to decide and can select whatever modifiers they want. The other two aren’t forced to be there. Again, this is all pretty simple stuff. Feel free to try to explain how customizing a matchmade activity would work. I’ll be happy to give you reasons why it won’t.

Every single portal activity lets you do that. You’re struggling with a pretty simple concept here bud.

No, you're struggling to defend bad UI implementation and bad feature design and application. Don't know why people like you bother--most of us can tell Bungo is not at their best right now.

[quote]No, you're struggling to defend bad UI implementation and bad feature design and application. Don't know why people like you bother--most of us can tell Bungo is not at their best right now.[/quote] The UI could definitely use implements. Totally agree. It is however explained to you through click to progress tutorial cards when you first open the portal and interact with a portal activity. Once again, entry different topic than this thread is even about.
