This is far too broad a statement.

R1 and R10 are different worlds. I like to solo farm gear on r1. I do a fair amount of this.  Unless it's a raid, I don't even understand running below r1 unless you're new to the game. I'm not even being "leet". I'm pretty mediocre. If you don't have heals, pop a hire. You'll generally be fine.

r6+ requires more coordination/gear/preparation/pastlives, etc. But, certain r10s are soloed pretty regularly.

The reason reapers don't suck is that they give some challenge and some meaningful grind to players who have "everything else." But, honestly, r1 is pretty accessible to anyone with a few past lives. Not because you need past lives. That just means you know the mechanics of the game decently.

Just one moron's opinion.


I don't focus on reaper like Gunga does. I don't care whether I get first time r10 bonus, for example (most ppl I play with do, though). I also don't TR to reset my first time bonuses on purpose. I only really TR when I want to try a new build.

Anyway, as a result of playing this way, I have like 56 reaper points or so. I'm semi-casual. Lately I play once a week. I do run r10s with a group sometimes. But, that is probably only 15% of my playtime. Mostly it's solo gear farming (stuff for new builds) and raiding at cap. Sometimes we run raids on r1. But, it's not uncommon for us to run hard. Depends on group. It's not a big deal either way.


Anyway, there's a moderate opinion on reaper.

Hmm... Do you run on Casual?

Why or why not?



Elite doesn't make sense once you have reaper points. R1 is easier AND has better drop rates. Drop rates on normal and hard are too low. I mean, I guess if you're not looking for gear that's fine. Like if you just want to flower-sniff content, hard is cool I guess.   <shrug>

Interesting. I never used the words "hard" or "difficult", but you have done so twice and somewhat passionately.


I suppose, my response was meant to be something like, "difficulties below reaper don't make a ton of sense many times which means they are kinda like being stupiderer." Why is it that you turned that into an issue around difficulty do you think?


EDIT:

I think I see why you've described so much difficulty around gear and groups... The people that are left mostly play reaper bro. Also, that's where drop rates are better.

Do you know you complained about people having a point of view by providing your own point of view? This is a nicer version of "Your POV is dumb. Mine is correct."

More importantly, however, if you've read noam's posts, you'd note a fair amount of complaining (affecting his own personal enjoyment) which would be partially resolved by playing where others play.

Also, this is the Vault. Slap fights are fair game anywhere. Anyone that doesn't know that should slap themselves.

EDIT: I saved you time in the next couple of posts.

Ok... What if I disagree with you?

Etc, etc, implying that My opinion that "Reaper is stupid" is based on the fact that I think it's too hard. Literally all of your replies seem to be based on that misunderstanding.

What exactly would be the point of me proposing ideas on a fan forum for a game that explicitly does not ever listen to its fans, even in the section of its own website dedicated to getting advice/feedback?

I proposed several ideas back when I still thought Turbine listened(back when it was turbine) for how I thought they could make the game more interesting/challenging/fun. Do you want to hear any of them? They went with reaper instead, which is a stupid mechanic.


Head-Meat wrote on Feb 9^th, 2022 at 8:57pm:


Exact same difficulties as you, bruh. R1 most of the time, whatever the pugs are up to, whatever the raid is being run on, etc. I hope into R6 groups when I feel like it and do 2-3 when I want to mix things up. My shitty niche alt builds mostly run hard because they are shitty niche alt builds. I also do hard when it's a flagger and I just want to get it over with. As stated its pretty easy to get a good number of reaper points, I just don't give a shit because:

I think reaper is a stupid mechanic.

DI?

EDIT: Ahhh, Dark Imbuement. I'm guessing the extra damage will be based on either ranged power OR force spellpower instead of both, yes?

NS capstone + HW t5 is a neat idea.

You are an imbecile. All you had to do was explain that you don't like the reaper mechanic, but you join whatever lfms are up.
This all started, when we started talking about reaper points - a measure of how often one runs reaper. From your idiotic babbling, it seemed like you refused to run reaper.
