We need strike specific loot, and vendor reward options like D1
If you have been around since D1, you likely remember and miss being able to jump into strikes and get loot specific to that strike. Vex = Imago Loop or maybe the Theossian warlock gloves that were actually dope. Cabal = the cool scout or shield brothers with the insane chainsaw looking titan gloves, or maybe the cool af hunter cloaks from the psions. Then going back to the vendor and selecting weapons or armour for your rank rewards.... WHERE IS THIS BUNGIE???
Throw battleground in the trash where they belong, bring all the strikes back out of the vault, add some new faction specific loot, give vendors an upgrade, and save the vanguard playlist.
It's not hard, show the game some darn respect and your players might start having fun again.

We had factions in D2. Those were very cool and could have been refreshed every now and then. But hey those were free content and didnt bring in revenue like the new shiny armor set in the eververse so they just removed the factions as a whole and never worked on them anymore. Tells you everthing you need to know about this company and why you should stop bothering with this glorified cash shop "game".

1 ReplyBeing back D1 strikes, and don't mess them up with new paths, and champions. Let us solo them. Take battlegrounds or whatever it is and throw them in the trash where they belong.

Nightfalls have specific loot .. the way things are going thats probably all we will ever get
-
people have been requesting this for -blam!- years like a couple new slightly fancy items would interest you at all. LMAO, you don’t even enjoy the game anymore. stop posting

Sweet

In D1 with Vendors, it actually felt like you were making a transaction with someone. In D2? It just feels like you're collecting your reward for hitting the quota for the day.

There was a pretty valid specific reason why strike specific loot is not in D2. Its why they also discontinued it on Nightfalls. They would need to keep all that loot consistently updated in terms of perks otherwise they would quickly fall behind. But the main reason they said was simply to prevent people from leaving strikes, sure some people already leave strikes they don't like but its not as common as it would be if they want a drop from a specific strike and keep not getting that strike in the playlist. Even if the specific drop could be acquired from the launchable strike on the destination you'd be spreading the playerbase across a multitude of strikes instead of just consolidating them into a strike playlist. Its better to just add more loot to Vanguard and have rewards maybe be earned in different ways from just playing strikes in general.

That would be awesome to see those options back and maybe bring back factions with their specific loot also.

1 ReplyMore weps in general. The loot drops are down to a trickle. A small offering every few months. IMO every weapon class needs 3+ new weps every 6 weeks. This would make me way more interested to play than destinations or prolonged narratives. Cool weapons, lots of them, & some with craftable options.

Strikes have been the most successful ritual mode in various ways and especially when it comes to this game's ever changing definition of skill. And there's a lot in the vault and there's suggestions such as this one that people would mostly like respond to really well. So it seems like it should be something that everyone could get behind. I can barely remember strike specific loot myself but it does sound like one of the things from the past that would make the game feel more like itself in the present.

We had strike specific loot during forsaken. Ontop of that those strike specific weapons could also drop curated with a special shader and perk combos.

I would run Vanguard Ops more if it had specific loot for each strike/battleground like in D1. I don't mind some of the battlegrounds honestly but really hated how often we had them as seasonal activities and the fact that they were the only seasonal activity to remain when the next yearly expansion launched. I would also like to see more unique bosses too like the 2 cabal bosses from the D1 strike or the one with the unkillable ogre in it as I find most bosses in D2 boring. I am so bored of fighting Psion bosses, I think we have a Psion as a boss for 1 strike,1 battleground,1 in onslaught salvation,1 in an exotic mission and now 1 in Tomb of Elders and yet no Gladiator boss(machete guys) and no flamethrower boss(can't remember the name).Court of Oryx in D1 had some better boss encounters than we do in D2,but anyway yes strike specific loot would be great.

Oh god someone on discord just reminded me of the cloak of taniks. Remember that? It had no hood. Everyone used it with exotic helms like graviton and the golden gun one
