I just want a reason to do strikes
I love Destiny and I’m a fan of how Destiny 2 is starting out but now that I’m in the high 280’s, there’s no reason to do a lot of the core activities. I want to do them and enjoy them but only get rare engrams that I have to delete. While this helps me rank up with the gunsmith, I still miss getting a legendary or exotic engram after completing a strike. I don’t even need to drop at a higher power level as long as it’s something different and useful. I hope Bungie changes this soon or I fear even I might fizzle out.

Strike exclusive shaders, guns, armor, high light exotics and legendaries

Would love a strike exclusive armor SET.

1 ReplyWait so do exotic engrams not drop for you? Ivegotten a couple of them and i also get a couple of legendaries.
-
I which the strike playlist also had a milestone. Maybe playing 3 or 4 or a set number will get you a luminous engram. Or an exotic or smiliar. They take longer than the other activities and the rewards dont seem as good as the other events. Milestone for normal strikes as they have for crucible will help.

3 RepliesThe problem I have is it keeps resetting the fireteam after each stike. There is a buff that is supposed to increase chances of legendary and exotic loot drops the longer your fireteam stays together and runs strikes. It seems like every time the stike ends people back out or it starts searching for new members. So the buff is never active. One time the people playing with me actually stayed for two more stikes. My second stike I recieved 3 legendary engrams. My 3rd I received two legendary and one exotic. If you can run stikes with the same fireteam. It seriously helps out a ton.

This is the one and only complaint I have with the game so far. Strikes are pointless, they spent the life of D1 getting it good and came very close to greatness at the end of D1, but then scrapped it all? Literally no reason to do them, all characters almost 300 and only doing the 2 strikes required for the milestones. No more scoring, no more modifiers, not more strike specific loot or chest? I don't understand why it was cut. They could have literally copied and pasted it over to D2 and it would be miles better than it is now with little to no effort. Just makes no sense.

You get a bright engrame every 12 minutes...

The rewards aren't what makes them have a lower value than other activities. It's the completion time and repeatability. Public events offer the same rewards at a higher value (due to fireteam medallions and clan level perks) and crucible offers the same rewards with faster completion time (while not as fast as public events) AND far more replayability. That is what makes them much less appealing.
-
Same here, I play for the loot. I have my Warlock at 285, just started my Titan. D2 is getting boring already.
-
Played they strikes for the milestone, will never revisit them again
-
Strikes are completely pointless after the 265 soft cap (now 266 since reset...yippee).

5 RepliesGame needs some depth. The bosses need to be unique. And the tactics need to be more than just hiding behind a wall shooting at the enemy who isn't smart enough to flank or rush you. Or just plain skipping the enemies because they aren't powerful enough or smart enough to stop you. There's no story and no fulfillment. I keep wanting to compare the game to borderlands in terms of what they should do but, idk. Just seems pointless to ask accompany as rich as bungie and Activision to actually care about their customers lol

1 ReplyWithout strike specific loot and randomized perk rolls on weapons, I dont see a reason to grind strikes.
-
We need strike specific loot again.

I tend to agree about the strikes. I don't feel much motivation to get on and do strikes at all. It's pretty rare that I end up with an upgrade to my gear, since it's usually just blue junk, and without strike specific loot, why bother? I can farm events, chests and high value targets and rake in way more gear in the same amount of time. If the gear is useless, I can then delete that gear and use the gunsmith materials to get more gear. I've done probably 20 or so strikes now, and I've seen all of the available ones. I haven't bothered doing any lately. I REALLY hate that the game dissolves your fireteam after each strike. I don't get that logic at all. That was one of the things that made D1 strikes fun. If you found yourself in a good team, you'd end up running 5 or 10 strikes in a row, and you'd end up with a higher chance of a legendary drop as well. I can't figure out why they decided to take that out for D2.
-
Strike specific loot needs to come back! Would be super cool if these exclusives were the only weapons that had random rolls
-
When they have you sparrowing half a planet through mobs of pointless enemies, and peck away a bullet sponge with dual primaries to obtain garbage loot is not what I was expecting. What happened to strike scoring? Strike specific loot AND burns? Clearly they rematchmake you after every completion and took away the encitive to stay for higher legendary drops because we've seen all the loot. "There will be a ton of loot" my fkng ass.

1 ReplyEdited by ManiacalSpark: 9/19/2017 8:23:13 PMAt least you CAN do them. If I hit a public event when loading in and don't pretty much sit at sniper range the whole time, I'll get an instant disconnect. I've only seen two strikes at this point, Inverted Spire and Exodus Black. And even then it was a case of pray that the connection gods wouldn't smite me. This game has, with the exception of no need to return to orbit and cohesive story and more activities on each world, has been a huge step backwards from where Destiny 1 was at it's end. It's funny, we give D1 shit for being bad all these years and now the sequel is out and all I want to do is just play it because it's the superior game.

8 RepliesEdited by UGA54: 9/28/2017 8:37:59 PMSame here don't feel like there is anything worth doing once u beat the game and do all the strikes and side quest now I'm bored and stuck getting lower light drops.
-
2 RepliesI get legendary and exotics from strikes, you don't get any?
-
I agree, strikes just don't seem as useful now unless you really want to level up vanguard to get armor. I personally just give all my vanguard marks to my titan to try to get him the full set and weapons. I hope they change strikes and make them fun/useful again.
-
1 ReplyI actually find strikes as a better way to get exotics. I've gotten more from strikes than heroic public events. Anyway I think in addition to the rewards we already get, I think we should get planetary tokens for whatever planet the strike is on.
-
7 RepliesAgreed. I play for the loot. Specifically weapons. Everything sucks and feels the same with just another name on it. Last night I did all of Caydes stashes and got nothing but blues that were 3 light levels below my current level. I'm stuck at 265 and nothing I do gives me anything higher or even something to be excited about. I want the bounty system back.

5 RepliesWhat annoys me is how there is no back story to the strikes anymore. In Destiny 1 you had someone explaining the point of the strike as you're flying into the zone and sure it may have been repetitive after doing the same strike 100 times but still it was nice to hear some lore to the strike. Destiny 2 strikes just throws you right in and you have no idea why you're there, its just get to the end kill the boss for lame rewards, that's it. Nothing to grind for either, no strike exclusive gear.
-
I would love to defend the strike playlist but it is nearly impossible. The best you can do is collect tokens for Vanguard gear from Zavala for aesthetic reasons. This won't help you increase your light, though, so it's something better left for after you hit max light. How strange it is to save the low light activities until after you reach max light.
-
Yeah, I guess you do need a reason to run them when you can run 3 public events within that time and get better rewords. Not to mention the yellow bar that drops a chest in the surrounding area's. Running a public events you have a chance on getting an exotic, but you don't running strikes?
