I hit 400, GM is a PINA do to the lives zeroing out if the timer, (that is set up for top tier speed runners to complete) runs out, which means in reality get it done before the timer ends or you die.(which basically means don't bother because why spend 20+minutes on a solo op / whatever just to get nothing for your trouble do to a poor mechanic.) Not Fun.
AND I can't do master level content anymore because with EVERY +20 modifier on, EVERY handicap applied, ZERO buffs, AND all seasonal gear on to get that bonus, the very best I can get is B. and just BARELY into that. (with 1 piece of non-season gear , it drops down to C+) Not sure what your supposed to do with that, especially in solo op where all the points come from doing the bonus objective, and beating the timer. if you beat the dang timer with 1 second on it, you should be getting the full 15% because holy frick your not beating the timer with more than 5min on the clock unless your using super cheese nonsense.
Remember when we used to "play" the game, you know kill mobs, do cool -blam!- with our space magic, feel like a bad -blam!- space wizard with a gun, ect.
Making people speed run strikes (which is basically what these are) is NOT a good idea as the MAIN LEVELING PATH!
It's fine if you want to add that as an "option", just make a modifier that cuts the timer in half. BOOM there ya go, any masochists that want to speed run through zones, like a mad bomber on crack to kamikaze the boss, they can, but for the REST of us, could you please set the stupid timer at a reasonable length, so we can PLAY and ENJOY the game? Thad be great
AND while we're at it get rid of the lives zeroing out when the timer runs out on GM level stuff.
Make that a mod too if you like, it's just dumb otherwise. You could have 30 lives racked up and poof, sorry timer ran out enjoy your trip to orbit. WTF.
look, I'm not even LOOKING for tier 5's or anything, not at this level (403), all i want is a chance to get "decent" loot ie T3-T4 so I can get a roll on a weapon i want out of the OCEAN of possible drops that can occur, but as it is, I can't even pray to RNGsus for a god roll on a weapon, because in order to do that, I have to GET a drop in the first place, which I cant do because everything is locked behind B+ level completions, which I can't get because Master tier can't scale high enough, and GM tier is pointless because you can't even finish the stupid thing half the time do to the timer killing you.
This isn't that hard guys. The idea is solid, you just gotta stop tuning this stuff for the top tier streamers, who are able to play 8 hours a day 5 days a week. Give those guys OPTIONS to make the game stupidly hard if they want to, but for the love of the Traveler would you PLEASE find some internal testers who AREN'T experts at the game, and run THEM through this stuff, so you have an ACTUAL idea how this is going to play in the real world.
and as a final PS
Could you add some fire-teams to your so called fire-team ops? Thad be great too.
There is this one thing I've seen somewhere in the game, whats it called ...oh, ya MATCHMAKING, that's it. Why, for my sanity and well being, do you NOT have matchmaking enabled in fire-team ops? other than the 3 options at the top of page 1 of course, page 1 out of like 8 now, 12? IDK but it's a lot more than 1 that's for sure.
I've been here since D1 Day 1, and I'll be here D2 Day whenever it ends.
(if you NEED a tester who is average let me know I'm sure i can find you people lol)
Thanks for your time and GL with the game.
