Skolas pointless
So after fighting skolas and wiping several times 2-3hrs wasted, we finally killed skolas and nobody got a elemental primary (the only reason you'd fight skolas).
So what is the point of fighting skolas? Why waste 2-3hrs to kill him and then get no rewards (other than armour and weapon core and ether light, even tho these are pretty pointless since already lvl 34 and have 365 damage weapons)
This is the hardest end game content but we got bugger all loot. Whereas you can be lucky in trials and get flawless and you get loads of awesome loot and a new destination....
It seems a very unequal reward system between pvp and pve.

1 ReplyI just did a 35 the other night. I spent less than 90 minutes for the entire run. I received a 6 dregg pride II with arc burn.. My buddy received the scout rifle with solar. #getbetteritshouldnttakethatlong

The rewards are CRAP in this game now. Why do you think people still play with Fatebringer and VoC? No weapons since have been as good. Even the new elemental primaries leave a lot to be desired. Most if not all PoE weapons are garbage and will be dismantled on sight

27 RepliesNever done it. Don't regret it. PoE is a boring time vacuum. It's not easy, but it's just not fun. I'm not throwing up to 3 hrs away playing the same fight with different enemies over & over. I'd love to get the Ciphers, they're the only exotics I don't have, but it's just not worth the effort.

Skolas loot does kinda suck, but it is way easier than 9-0. Especially now that all the people who suck stopped trying. Skolas is just a little time consuming.
-
The one time I did it my team did not wipe once I plan on doing it this week
-
I agree me and my friends took 7 hours before we give up of having our butt kicked we all level 34 but the boss just blow us out of the water each time.

I haven't fought Skolas yet and I don't ever plan to, I'm fine with doing lvl 34 PoE. I got an Elder Cipher from it a few days ago and I'm assuming you have a chance for elemental primaries on that difficulty as well. If not, I guess I'll be missing out on them because to me they're not worth the frustration. All PoE loot is really just a big joke to begin with. All of the armor is only useful in the prison because of its perks, and all of the weapons are missing a perk as endgame gear. I don't see why a Rocket Launcher needs a perk like Shank Burn. I don't see why any weapon would need shank burn... You also have the keys, those rare keys that tend to never drop. What do they do? Well they open a chest that gives you a queen legendary weapon to dismantle, probably the most up-played garbage reward system I've ever seen. I wouldn't be so frustrated about this stuff if all the endgame content rewards weren't locked out after playing it once a week. It's incredibly rediculous that this is still a thing. This way to artificially extend gameplay is making me not want to play the game because there's nothing to look forward to. No one is excited when the weekly reset comes around because they know they're going to give it their all and be given shards or some crap.

bring back the burns!

1 ReplyI've never even attempted bc nobody will do it with me bc I don't have a ghorn

beat it twice when it first dropped. dont even bother with it takes to long. i can run 2 lvl 34's in the same time if not quicker lol. never knew you could get those elemental primarys from it tho might search on the forums for a checkpoint now haha. thats the only way id try it again if someone has round 6 ready.

-blam!- SKOLAS! That is how I am putting it because I have a life and don't wanna spend 3 pointless hours on a single -blam!-ing boss

On top of the lack of rewards, it's become stale. They're just reusing the same set of modifiers over and over again. No change, small arms and lightswitch or brawler and juggler. They've been swapping for 4 weeks now. It's a total lack of effort on Bungie's part. I love this game and I have no intention of putting it back on the shelf just yet. I would like to see some response to player complaints' especially the ones that aren't just senseless RNG whining.
-
1 ReplyActually, any video game activity that requires a solid 3 consecutive hours should fall straight into the pointless bin. You don't have to give any more reasons beyond that
-
If they put in a checkpoint I'd play it again. Short of that it's a total waste of time. Rewards are crap for the effort. I just don't understand how bungie haven't done something to correct this. Things just seem to fall on deaf ears.

Edited by magburner: 7/7/2015 12:46:59 PMThere is no reason to fight Skolas more than once. I figured that, and have avoided him like the plague ever since.

2 RepliesThis is hilarious since PVP in this game a so horribly broken and bungie has spent over 120days having done nothing to improve the thorn-a-thon which is all things PVP.
-
Haven't played Skolas since they removed the burns, can't be bothered with it; i don't have that much spare time after work to play it just to get so little rewards at the end of it. Trials and PvP in general are far more satisfying to me.
-
Skolas is a waste of time. Simple...... It's been made more drawn out and boring. This gets you fck all anyway..... Yawn
-
1 ReplyAgreed. Havnt played Skolas in two weeks cuz I got screwed too many times
-
Skolas weapon drops are a chance just like anything you get from trials is also rng aside from the base weapon and armor
-
1 ReplyBecause Bungie, desperate for people to play their garbage PVP, put all the good loot in their PVP.
-
5 RepliesI have not started Skolas and I am not going to. Too much time for too little rewards. Completely unbalanced. Still do not understand why PvE weapons (primary elementaries) are earned in a pure PvP game (ToO). Bungie is really making an effort to turn all of us in PvP players..
-
I used to run Skolas but don't anymore for this reason. Too much time wasted and not adequate rewards.

3 RepliesEdited by RavenousLD3341: 7/7/2015 10:26:53 AMJust one more elder cipher.... then i'm done with 35 PoE

1 ReplySkolas is a pussy

3 RepliesJust made this exact post!! After beating the entire 35 without a single wipe. Nothing. [spoiler]my theory - they nerfed the drop rate because once people actually get one of the fallen perk weapons then they will actually know Poe 35 ain't worth doing[/spoiler]
