If I’m lucky, 50 hours is enough time to choose something to watch at Netflix. However, I spent the last weeks of grinding Destiny 2The latest extension. It was a respiratory slogan, but some of me is almost pleased that I did it. Almost.
My armor is finally good enough to have over 100 in basic statistics without having to drop other attributes. My weapon falls with two improved accessories on each column. My favorite compilations have become even stronger.
Now that high -quality loot is within my reach, . The edge of fate He finally shows his potential. It is a pity that it is closed behind a frustrating 50-hour entry.
When you start playing, all your drops will be the first (T1) with occasional T2. This is fatal compared to what we had only a few weeks ago: T1 armor with 52 to 57 statistics points, compared to the ancient standard of good armor above 63-65 depending on who you ask. The T1 weapon has only one profit in each column and it can never be improved, so there is no way to update them.
In the recent extension, you can normally get loot with a higher level, raising both the power level and the rank of Guardian. In practice it means You need to polish what you need before you can polish what you want. It is bad enough, but true Destiny Fashion, Bungie will also reset the power level up to 200 in December, and your unstable cores will disappear in a few months. Talk about too many obstacles.
Making mathematics here with a napkin, it took me almost six hours to go from 330 to 350 with four -minute solo gears, which I did almost exclusively, because other types of mission were almost not so satisfying, between steep bonus requirements and unnecessarily annoying modifiers.
By eating this number, Grind from 300 to 350 can take 10 to 15 hours. The journey between 200 and 300 is more forgiving, so with two hours to 10 levels, it is another 15-20 hours. Add to this the time when I spent campaigns and grinding to reach 200 above all, and around 50 hours, although the real number is probably much higher. This is a fairly huge investment until my drops actually began to matter.
The sanding power is generally uncomplicated in The edge of fateBut for the most part it is a very bureaucratic undertaking. Think about how the longest meeting in the world, which could have been E -Mail. You do mindless tasks that barely reward you, so that in a few dozen hours you can start chasing what just counts, because we know that 54-statu armor will not make your compilation not connect. It’s like a Syzefus reaching the top of the hill and finding a second rock and a more steep mountain.
Sometimes the pendulum dreams the other way and becomes more annoying than in fact engaging. Achieving certain interruption points (about 20 levels) requires a greater result of the prize, so I had to fight enemies in the power delta, while throwing modifiers, as without HUD or the lack of initial ammunition. This is the same amount of work as the last time, except that I had to jump through more rims to get there.
Everything that happens on the portal, which is one sterile interface of the restaurant’s restaurant menu. Kepler is essentially irrelevant to grinding equipment Until you reach at least 350, when the drops start to reach T4 on Mithic, and two T5 guaranteed a week from the mission, so the portal is your comprehensive store in terms of the needs of leveling/agricultural needs.
With the exception of the lion on the portal, it is ancient or re -published, so your long grind will take place in those activities that you have performed for months, if not years, such as battlefields in 2021, Encore or Leaps Diabłów.
Ironically, Calder – which we are probably all guilty of agriculture – is one of the few recent activities.
Even if your recent equipment is worse than what you have collected all the time, you still have to save it. Several selected actions require the utilize of recent equipment to develop the rank of Guardian and stay a course towards any equipment that is not a reduction. The utilize of recent and recommended equipment also ensures a greater result of the prize in the portal, as well as some strengthening of firepower and injury reduction.
I did what the slog was, I did it. I pushed to 350. I bought the first Kepler level update, which means that each drop on Mithic is T4, and I receive two T5 guaranteed T5 a week of the missions presented. In the end, I could reliably grow a high level so that my compilations would connect, and I only had to make more caldera than those indicated by the World Health Organization.
My drops became even better after reaching 400, which took another dozen hours. I would probably not have done it if it wasn’t for generous solstice bonuses. It’s amazing: every basic Solo Ops Clear gives me at least one T4 element and a guaranteed T5 from the event. I have to take the chain saw to my treasury to be able to save my good drops, which can be the best problem I’ve ever had in the game. The years have passed since the game D2 He felt so satisfying.
However, I know that not long, I will have to convert most of what led me here. WITH Star Wars-inspired Renegates The expansion in December Bungie will reset us back to 200, and we will have many other recent racing equipment. Fortunately, Kepler’s update is sturdy, but recent/recommended equipment bonuses must create another password in a few months. The unstable cores also go away, for no clear reason, like the fact that we know them again.
The radiant side is bungie Plans to tone grind Starting from the next few weeks, but what shape it will have is still unclear. One of his goals is “generally increasing the speed of progression for most players” Although it does not inspire such a lot of faith, seeing how Grind seems more like politics than an accident. Passing, say, 60 hours to 30 is certainly faster, but it is still extremely investment before you can get equipment that is worth using.
The length of the cut is also not the only problem. Many improvements we have received this season Renegates. Although we will always have our equipment, it may not be recent or presented in a few months and we will have to re -submit permission to crush everything that is worth keeping.
Yes, it has always been resetting the power level, but for the first time we will come back only to earning on low quality equipment-And for the first time we are punished for using weapons and “older” armor, even if they are only six months ancient.
The edge of fate establish recent foundations of systems for D2with layers, armor 3.0 and portal, but Power Grind is currently the content of the content – and this is unacceptable. True Gear Chase does not start up to several dozen hours; Until then, all this is a very interactive bureaucracy. I like a reasonable, satisfying grind, but for the required investment, equalization The edge of fate is not.
Of course, there is still room for improvement. Ash & Iron arrives in September, opening more activities and softens Grind. But if it takes three months and a earnest update to make the content worth the west, it is already a failure.
Fortunately, Bungie has many fairs to change until December. The most crucial, at least for me, is to enhance equipment with a higher level more accessible around the world. I would love to die because I want, not because I have to– And spending tens of hours as a prelude to prosecute weapons and armor is certainly in the second category. I would like to chase armor due to established bonuses and weapons that have unique benefits or archetypes, and not because it is another step on the treadmill. It takes a lot of motivation to abandon my current equipment.
The optimist in me likes to think that they will eventually do it, but the realist in me says that it may take longer than I would like. Studio last month He raised a popular farm And he tried to raise the difficulty in raids and dungeons for the second time this year, receiving a sufficient number of slack to quickly reverse it. There is time to correct the course, but this does not inspire greater certainty, considering that Grind seems more calculated than security.
At least if it repeats, maybe I can finally find something to watch at Netflix.
