They hyped this up as the biggest exotic mission to date. Today I discovered that was a fat lie. “Part 2” has nothing new except a slightly different puzzle. We were all hoping and coping that this was going to be a venture further into this mission, with a different boss and scenery. Instead, we got fed the same exact mission. “The biggest mission” only because it’s literally just walking through a big area. An area filled with a handful of redbars, two mini bosses and a hydra boss. A hydra boss which by the way very easily gets glitched out and then you’re unable to spawn its shield node to start the damage phase. It was very dissapointing, but ultimately not surprising at all. Yes, I do like the second catalyst. Volatile refit, which by the way does not require you to finish the mission?! Lmao. Let’s get hyped for more fat lies and implications guys! Let’s get fkin stoked about this mission!!!! Episode 2 better have something good. And I will be on D2 hiatus till then. That’s not a “watch as i boycott this” statement btw, I’m genuinely at a point where there’s nothing to do in the game for me. And it’s frustrating because they have the resources and talent to easily go in a much better direction. To make an actual endgame grind. Endgame? What’s that, a few emblems and adept guns that are exactly the same as regular guns except they have +2 stats? Artifice armor that almost always drops with garbo stats but oh boy you can add +3 to a stat of your choice? For an extra whopping +12 stats total excluding your exotic armor? Dear lord let me login and grind that. Imagine we had some actual cool new gun perks, instead they add garbage like Invisible Hand and Slickdraw, or 3 terrible new air accuracy related gun perks, or the fact volatile is still -blam!-, or that jolt got nerfed hard. Why? Because these clowns balance for PvP first and foremost to cater to streamers. Can’t even make seperate sandboxes. And even then it doesn’t matter at all, you can complete a GM in full blue gear in about 1.5x the time perhaps 2x of that of a strong loadout with exotics. I guarantee it. Because it all has to be so balanced. Can’t upset this minority or that minority. And with minority I mean casual players who play like 1 hour a week tops, or a dad who plays one saturday a month. The lord forbid they feel left out right. Can’t have someone running a really cool gun only obtainable for the elite.
