The nice part about the ten dailies is that they're usually doable in a reasonable amount of time. Basically run the cataclysm once on each of your javelins, do a little freeplay, and then do either a stronghold or some kind of daily mission.
It seems overwhelming at first, but it's not, and the rewards are much improved from where they were pre-cataclysm. |

The downside is I don't generally run with any cosmetic changes, because that's what seems to bug me out. So no armor, paint, wraps, animations, etc. Although....one way you can tell you have the pilot data bug is that your javelin will show a default look even if you've tricked it out. So it's kind of a double-edged sword not to use different stuff... I am running with custom armor this week, though. Some of the new stuff looks too cool not to use and I've gotten a couple drops anyway, although not nearly enough as everyone else. |

I've gotten two legendary shock maces on my ranger. When all I want is melee for my colossus and interceptor.

Mirroring a comment I just made on discord, I really love the new event store. The challenges feel much more rewarding now and there's enough items to chase in the store that it feels worthwhile to grind. It's not just mindless repetition for tarsis rep or to complete gear challenges now.

They definitely upped the drops. I had a streak of like 12 or 13 events in a row with a lemon today.

Makes total sense to me. Mete out the rewards to give people an incentive to log in for ensuing weeks of the event. Same basic principle as the rotating event store.
Just imagine people getting all the weapons and gear they want in the first two or three weeks, then complaining for the last three that they don't have anything to do. I ended up getting a legendary out of every single thing I did yesterday. That's never gonna happen again. |

Like I said i've been playing lately because the gameplay is fun and satisfying the same reason I played Mass Effect 3 multiplayer because the gameplay itself sets it apart from others. |
Time gating is what these games are. That ain't changing soon.
I finished the store off on Thursday. So far banked 25 major crystals and 2500 minor. The only thing I've done the last three days is try to complete challenges, learn secrets and complain about randos on discord. |

I'm sure you agree the RNG in this game is unforgiving, it seems it would take years to find the perfect gear so time gating is not necessary. Diablo 2 and 3 didn't time gate and I consider those games to be kings of the looter genre. Aiming for this build right now... <iframe width="640" height="480" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MRxSjIM1ntA" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe> |
I don't have enough gear to worry about build at this point. I almost always get lemon drops for things I already have, going back months...
I may by the end of the cataclysm, though. I've gotten some new things in between the waves of repeats. Have lemon melee on all 4 javelins now, albeit not necessarily the melee weapons I might want. And I only have one more gear challenge to finish on my colossus. After that, it's just interceptor. |
