The Community are the ones playing the game. The pointless negative nancies who were never going to play it anyway are just useless waste of opinion. Legendary missions are staple of the "genre" though. But they need to add a twist. The Division 2 will add The Black tusks for this. Depending on how they will handle some of the end game reveals BioWare could and should change the mobs as well as up the numbers. We'll see. They're wanting feedback from us I'll be happy to oblige. But I don't see where some reviewer who don't understand the game or genre is useful. Like the numbnut who couldn't handle real-time VATS. "Where's my pause button?" The community will pull in different direction anyway. Sure, but you also can't please everyone or do everything the community wants. It's a fruitless endeavor in the long run I'd say. No, that is true. And the community will be hetergenous. Still the players returning every day and week to play are the ones who'se feedback will matter the most. But I can see how they have to follow their own vision as well.

No, they're planning to turn main story missions into legendary conntent - modified, so instead of there being a learning curve that came with first missions, they'd be much more challenging encounters. They said that they will be testing this idea sometime soon and see how the community reacts to it once they release first few story missions. [Having a bad SWTOR flashback of rehashed old content offered in a new package over and over, because Bioware doesn't have anything else to give] Oh, wait, forgot we have Ben Irving on board. Then we are par for the course, please continue 😂 While it is a way to bring more content, I fear that all story missions are too much the same. We'll have to see how it goes. Maybe it will work as a harder type of NG+. They're throwing it out as a proposal that they will be testing in the future and see how people respond to it - not some main dish of future update they're betting on extending lifetime of the game before meatier content shows up.

A genuine game with genuine vision will eventually be a great game. People might hate it, but it's better than creating an ever recurring zombie.

Looks like I am the only one who uses this thread for its original purpose... On topic: Well, the Outlaw event has ended, no news item on it anymore. Not sure if it had any conclusion, if the lack of buzz is any indication it hadn't. I wiped about 20 of those spawns yesterday (easy way to grind weapon challenges), but nothing. At least a mail would have been nice, super poor implementation. Not sure why they decided to start an "event" as small as this in the first place tbh The "featured item" shop seems to change every 48 hours now. Next change tomorrow in time for the public release.

But once in a while you probably need to try something new. Dint surprise me it went like this when looking at combat evolve during ME and the positive reception of ME3MP

At least a mail would have been nice, super poor implementation. Not sure why they decided to start an "event" as small as this in the first place tbh Because the game is not officially released yet and any bigger event would immediately trigger complaints. Some people are sore about early access enough for them to not try anything big - plus, it makes sense for devs to start small and escalate once they know that the game's architecture holds. What that small event was, was basically a demonstration of their systems and ability to control the spawn of enemies in the shared world, as world events or swarms. I did notice, for example, that last week we've had more world events involving rescuing stuck Striders (there were also more titans in first few days), while there are fewer events that were present in the demo - I think it means they'd be shuffling variables for enemy or fauna spawns and have such small events every few days for variety's sake. What remains unknown for now is how larger events will affect the world, with the biggest question being how much the world will change during or after the Cataclysm they are planning in about a month. Anyway, I heard that the next event will have titans and it's that event that will have special rewards.

Yeah I guess. Rescuing stuck Striders is a standard event as far as I can tell.
Had one with an Ancient Ash Titan, solo'd him with green weapons and blue/green equip on my second run with the Storm ever, and got 2x grey loot for my troubles. Playing on Normal, pilot level 20... how the effin' F are grey drops even on this things loot table?!

Shop is back to the same selection it was at the start of last week. Why they aren't having a sale of an epic skin for each Javelin at the same time is beyond me. And the menu graphic is broken, at least on PC. lol
In other news, the "There be Titans" event is now active. Killed my first named titan, they are just regular Ancient Ash Titans without additional or different abilities. Weaksauce.

Weaksauce. thats because regular ash titans are a chore to wipe out, 25 minutes of spamming 2 suit skills because guns do 20 damage and run out of ammo before your even 10% into its total hp and your busy dodging the elementals and its area damage skills.... there only difficult when you have the wrong gear attached and come across one, like I spent 35 minutes with a single long range attack on the colossus just to earn 3 white loot drops... and a world event gold medal

Got a bunch more Masterwork components (2800 Shield per piece is crazy). Got a MW Devastator. With my 450+ Storm went to reinforce a buddy in his Hard Legendary contract. Just stood there taking the damage and annihilated everything with one shot from the Devastator and one cast of MW Lightning Strike. And I used to sweat against more than 2 enemies on Hard.

If you're just going to 'pew pew' its rocky skin, then you are indeed stuck for a long encounter. The secret of killing a Titan is timing and weak points - in case of Titan those are the glowy parts right before an attack or when it attacks (save the death beam, for obvious reasons, heh). Target its forearms prior to some attacks and especially seek time when its back opens (usually during the AOE fire wave), because that's where and when it's most vulnerable.

That is just the roadmap? Ingame news is the only place were those events like the current one are mentionend, but without start or end dates. I wonder if there is going to be a reward this time.

Yeah in this game weak spots really matter with some of the more brutal enemies. Not sure how it is with destiny but again, a very Borderlands thing that too...especially on higher difficulties.
