Running base strikes the last few days, critically wounded for the entire time. Not fun, at all. Boring in fact

  • Quality of player dropped off to. Just matching with PSN guys who have like 29 in every stat & running awful loadouts. If I go down 1st it's almost a guaranteed wipe, in a base strike. Just got killed by the tormentor at the start of the neonuma strike. 2nd guy runs to rez me whilst hitting tormenter with empty sword swipe, tormentor stomps him in 1 hit coz he's got 1 resilience, 3rd guy does the same thing to rez the 1dt guy, get stomped, 2 resilience, wipe & reset. Just left. How they gonna survive the boss room & damage the boss, with swords.

  • What’s the point of running the base strike though? Outside of grinding specific bounties, like those for transmog, or quests like the weekly Cipher quest, there genuinely is not point in running it compared to even the base level nightfall. Furthermore, with both methods Nightfalls and Exotic Missions are just better to grind than base Strikes. All this to say, of course a low population is expected, and of course that population is going to be full of noobs.

  • The point is they used to be fun. Kind of like a stress reliever at the end of a long day. Pretty arcadey and fun. Gear drops didn’t matter. 😊

  • Nightfall is 2000, I'm currently 1978 & this week's nightfall isn't an easy one so it's a no go. There's lots I can't do like that seasonal jump quest thing that'd 2020 power Indeed I'm running them for xenololgy, plus the 9 exotic engrams & pathfinder pinnacles, used to enjoy it but this is a horrible experience.

  • Pathfinder provides paths outside of the Strike Playlist (Onslaught if the Nightfalls are not available) Xenology is better grinded in exotic missions which provide the highest count of points toward Xenology out of every activity. 4 at base and 7 at legend. As for the Nightfalls, while yes this is one of the more challenging strikes, it’s not comparable to something like Lightblade. The difficulty mostly comes from the City and the Boss Room, which you just need good add clear to complete them. Lastly, just go into GMs 40 to 30 under once you get to 80. It doesn’t make the GM much harder in terms of difficulty as your kill power stays similar enough to base. You just become squishier is all.

  • Again too low for exotic missions & I still need the 9 exotic engrams from core Avoid gambit & PvP for 2 reasons, really low population & only wins count for xenology

  • Base Exotic missions are only 1945, and again, they grant you 4 points per completion. On top of that, you get weapons that can be crafted from previous seasons that are now unplayable. Furthermore, there are also exotics specific to the exotic missions, so there really isn’t a reason to not play them when grinding Xenology unless you are ok with taking the whole weekend to grind it out (at witch point you’ll probably be grinding activities like GMs)

    Jeez. They probably don’t even know Tormentor weak points…….or they are using Eager Edge swords….. both could be true….. But wow that seems pretty bad man. I kinda stopped running the strike list since battlegrounds were added to them. I just can’t stand them. Shocked you even found a strike
