31 RepliesTBH, I'm still more excited for skyrim remastered. I agree that the amount of content you will be getting for $30.00 is pretty fair. But it still appears to be a continuation of the TTK model. Sure G-horn, Thorn, etc. are coming back. New Khovstov looks cool. But where are the endgame guns that are going to make you go "HOLY @#$@#$!!!!" when you first shoot them- and make you scream that in a good way?! Where is the loot that is going to make you scream and throw your headset and dance around like the silly gamer geeks we are when we get it? Moments like this.... [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWTAI6171vI[/url] Yes, RNGesus was BRUTAL in Y1. Yes, many players ground their butts off and didn't get one. But the fact of the matter is that for those that did, this is is the kind of joy the drop brought. And if Bungie didn't keep making things obsolete, we can have that Y1 system again, because on a long enough timeline, people SHOULD eventually get one of those guns. I don't want to hear arguments about it becoming LFG requirements. People ALWAYS have LFG requirements. They just change with times (LL335 + ToM/Spindle + Oryx Challenge Emblem ring a bell?). Bottom line, we need some incredible loot to chase again. The kind of loot that will make us scream like little girls when we get it. The kind of loot that will greatly decrease the grind in PVE when we do get it. The kind of difference-making weapon that G-horn was pre-nerf (and the kind of weapon I anticipate G-horn will not be in Y3). And it should ONLY be available through RNG. The chase for elite PVE loot is what keeps us playing PVE endgame content. I've only completed Kingsfall 12 times. It's not because I can't do it, but because there's no reason to do it after you finish all your challenge modes. The loot is trash for the most part and you can't get anything ELSE in the raid (other than raid gear) that you can't get elsewhere. So why even play it? In the time it takes to run a raid, I could run several strikes and possibly get a decent number of exotics. And even then, why play? Loot from strikes, raids, etc. They're all just going to be used for infusion fuel anyways, and most of my stuff is LL 330-335. That 5 difference in light level isn't going to make such a huge difference that it motivates me to keep playing.
