This solstice rocket has no good rolls and other guns MIA from loot pool
Literally only decent roll is auto loading and cluster bombs. Why was this released with all throw away perks? Then it also seems to be the only solstice gun that is dropping at all.

Envios being in the damage column is a sign that not much thought was put into this weapon It's worthless

6 RepliesEdited by Guardian9474: 7/19/2023 6:17:26 PMShould've definitely added a new perk. Something like a hatchling clusterbomb combo would be cool. On impact maybe 2 or 3 hatchling spawn. Regular hatchling just seems silly. Or a clusterbomb suspend grenade feature.

4 RepliesDude what do you mean?? Demolitionist + Hatchling is Gjallarhorn in legendary strand form…. I’m sorry for wasting valuable post space.

Got one with Field Prep and Envious Assassin. I figured with this, I'll have ammo for days. Dreamwork overrides Envious Assassin. 2 rockets is the hard limit. Envious Assassin practically doesn't work if you're not solo. It's essentially a wasted perk unless you're solo, in which case the origin perk becomes the wasted one.

I’ve had three of the hand cannon, no rocket launcher.

2 RepliesI’d love to know who designed the armour glows this time around because they certainly need firing.
-
3 RepliesProbably due to how powerful the origin trait is on a rocket. It’s functionally similar on it to the new Dungeon’s origin trait and that was heralded as META. I’m curious to see how envious assassin works on it with the origin trait. Definitely lacking in the perks department but I can understand why Bungie didn’t want to juice this one too hard with that powerful of an origin trait and how accessible it is.
-
2 Replieswith Envious and the origin trait you can get 5 consecutive rockets, and get bonus ammo with Feild Prep. It won't be great for damage, because it's a precision frame, but it is certainly unique. The only other rockets with unique overflow functions atm are Braytech Osprey, Apex Predator, and Cold Comfort, which have to rely on bipod to reach even 4 rockets. Anyway, I think it's good that Bungo isn't making insanely powerful event weapons, because if a weapon that's only available for 3 weeks out of a year can power creep everything else, it becomes a real problem. I would like it if event weapons were used to test more utility combos, just so we know they can be implemented on a larger scale without breaking anything, and this is more or less a case of that.

2 RepliesIt actually may be the current heavy weapon goat for a pure dps (not total damage) setup
-
The other weapons do drop, just rarely as it seems to prioritize dropping the rocket, as mentioned, as well as the armor for some reason when it’s garbage? Even after applying all the embers the stat rolls are bad at best a 64 roll. Honestly they should have a system to focus the weapons using the ashes, but we probably won’t get anything that good for at least another three solstices.
-
First strand rocket launcher! Excited! All poor rolls? Only had one drop?! Excitement gone.
-
1 ReplyI have dropped the shottt as well. No handcannon though
-
44 RepliesOh, I’m sure Aztecross and Coolguy and the rest of these leeches will scream it’s “metah” and you should all go farm for it everyday for 10 hours until you get the “god roll” they tell you to get. Then AFTER the event is over, they will say how awful the gun is in some “Ranking Rocket Launchers” vid. (Isn’t that how it works?)
-
Lmao I’m curious to see the process of them choosing perks for new weapons and what compelled them to release what is now the worst rocket launcher in the game

Edited by Joulevette12: 7/20/2023 11:32:20 AMHere we are and yet it didn't cross they mind that why haven't they added focusing on the weapons for silver leaves when majority of the time you getting armor from the event that is literally bloating up the pool *Focusing weapons *8 perk weapons *More unique weapon perk combinations * Unique armor set buffs These events are getting worse each year because you still using underwhelming perks combinations that are not ok in the current sandbox and overused for pvp and pve

I agree the perk selections are not the best but it IS useable. I ran a GM and Root last night, all Strand run and used this is every boss encounter and it was a breeze (my roll demo and chain reaction) Give it a go and make you own minds up
-
It’s part of their ‘under delivery’ ethos. It’s their first strand rocket so some people will chase it. If it was good then there would be no reason to chase their next strand rocket.
-
13 RepliesBecause next season we have a craftable strand rocket being released, so they got to make sure players will be grinding for it. If players grind hours for trash, the day something better is released, they’ll be grinding twice as much. Psychology/group theories for dummies.
-
2 RepliesFor some reason the tracking on it is kinda jank. Where my Palmyra can can track a target, this Solstice RL misses it's target when the enemy moves slowly to the side.
-
I've gotten all 3 weapons all are bad.
-
Yeah envious assassin is a gimmick.
-
Awesome ! That’s the good thing about this forum ….confirms why I don’t need to touch the event 👍
