After 2 years of flashpoints i find it incredibly stupid that Escalation Protocol doesn't count as progress toward flashpoint knowing that it can delay Public Events
-
Well Escalation protocol probably thinks you're stupid. Didn't think of that did you huh? Open your mind my child 🙂
-
1 RespuestaYeah, this is probably the most annoying part about doing the Flashpoint for Mars. I usually just mindlessly grind Lost Sectors and Heroic Missions to get it done. Because it's almost impossible to get progress through Public Events when people are constantly triggering Escalation Protocols. Heck, on top of making Escalation Protocol count towards the Flashpoint they could even give incentive to run the whole thing by scaling credit by Escalation stage. 5% for stages 1 and 2, 10% for 3 and 4, 15% for 5 and 6, and 20% for stage 7. Setting you up nicely at 80% Flashpoint completion when you're done. Maybe drop down the resource turn in costs as well since it's kind of ridiculous that it costs ~80 planetary resources for an Engram when every other planet only requires ~60.

Some rocket scientist at Bungie really screwed the pouch on that one.
-
I wish EVERYTHING counted. You like lost sectors? Do 10. Public events? Do a few. Patrol beacons? Do 10, or 20. Just want to murder stuff? Kill 500 enemies. Or do a combination of all this stuff to knock it out quick.

13 RespuestasThere are several things about escalation protocol that make no sense. The fact the armor for it is some of the best looking in the game but for all the effort it takes to get it it drops with absolute trash 2.0 stats. Every single one I get has a stats score of 49. Bungie has a history of leaving all old content behind. They need to update older activities and refresh them. Same thing with the blind well. They haven't improved it at all since it came out. Just face it, Bungie is a trash company and they are incredibly lazy. I doubt they will ever fix or update any old content. Gambit will never be improved. Strikes will never get strike specific look. Everything that could possibly make this game awesome is being scraped cuz content is hard to make and they just want to put everything in the eververse.
-
2 RespuestasYep. They do a lot of stupid things. Another one is: "why when I join an [b]in progress[/b] crucible or gambit match are my abilities starting off at 0?"
-
Editado por Courrier-Mojave: 11/15/2019 12:58:03 AMAnd Bungie never answer about that.... Also, do you remember when we could kill " defender of Mercury " etc... On Mercury to get flashpoint points ? It was cool and makes this flashpoint better. Since this was removed i really hate this flashpoint so much. [spoiler]Peperridge farms remember[/spoiler]
-
17 RespuestasUnrelated subject but, remember when bungie said they were looking into adding the ability to ride sparrows on Mercury? [spoiler]Pepperidge Farm remembers [/spoiler]
-
100% Agree
-
Agreed. I have all the EP weapons, and a full set of gear for my main, so I have no reason to run EP anymore. Because of that, I am only looking to complete the public events. The people running EP just frustrate that process for me. Sometimes I help, but if I'm in a rush, I just reinstance to avoid EP. The problem with helping is that some people use it to farm kills on thralls, so they don't want "help". Earlier this week, there were two people running EP right before a public event, and they bailed when the public event started and left me in the instance alone to try to run a heroic witches ritual on Mars with ogres and witches blasting me from every angle.

4 Respuestasi love those idiots who load onto mars not knowing what escalation protocol is, then start it, then leave to orbit. Like ok boomer

13 RespuestasYou're 974, why are you doing flashpoints
-
1 RespuestaTalking of EP...has anyone had any Warlock boots drop from the chest lately? I keep getting everything but boots..
-
1 RespuestaSame, we also need sparrows on Mercury still.
-
Agreed! Mars is right behind Mercury on my "hate this flashpoint" list. I usually just do the Heroic adventures and get the hell outta there. It's absolutely absurd that EP waves don't count towards Flashpoint. Someone at Bungie was clearly asleep at the wheel when that decision was made.
-
7 RespuestasEditado por TheShadow-cali: 11/14/2019 1:21:29 AMEdit: Agreed
-
Yup. Completing 7 waves should 100% it.
-
What's a flashpoint?
-
11 RespuestasIf you have been playing for 2 years, why do you still need flashpoints?
-
Agreed, I bypass Mars FP because getting PEs to happen is annoying. What's worse is seconds before the PE starts, someone fires up an EP event.
-
3 RespuestasEP waves should count. Number one because it can delay PEs, but the main selling point being that people will actual do them and finish them again.
-
1 RespuestaEP should run like the Vex Offensive activity or the Forges. Selectable on the map, load in and go. Tired of joining an in-progress EP only to find it was two Guardians farming thrall...
-
3 RespuestasI don't find mars all that bad.... But Mercury? Ffs I just skip it that week.
-
Also match making would be really appreciated. Instead of having to fly in 20 times to find a decent amount of players.
-
I actually find it totally stupid that we join “public events from the protocole” that are not accounted as “public events” Bungie as usual.
-
90% of the EP I run has a public event drop during one of the waves... you have to make the event heroic to progress EP and that event does count towards Flashpoint. With that being said, I agree with you that all completed levels should count. The fastest way through the Flashpoint is to run the daily heroic adventure, then go see Anna Bray to activate another one... then run a couple of lost sectors while completing her bounties. You will probably rank up at least once during it.
