Right. Going to close this thread now since it's gotten off topic and even back when it was... it was going downhill.

Discussion of moderator actions is against forum rules. If you have an legitimate issue or question regarding a moderator's actions, please message that moderator (or any Community Staff member) directly instead of trying to make it a public talking point. Thank you.

Did a double take from the title of the thread... Carry on.

Maybe ISAC is having a heat stroke. DC in the summer can be brutal, you know.

So don't get me wrong, I can absolutely understand the frustration of what feels like a cheap cop-out tool that anyone can pick up and abuse...

But....

An aspect of the PvP that the Dev team also has to contend with is keeping these systems both balanced and still feeling rewarding to players who do get those top tier near-perfected builds.
Making setups fun to use all around, strong when optimized, and still interesting to play against all a... Read more

Alex as my witness, I will make a Cleaner inspired build with Firestarter, Flame Turret, and double shotguns.

What's the weirdest build you want to do, but thus far haven't or couldn't?

Hey everyone.

Thanks for the introduction, UbiInsulin.

Happy to be joining the team, and looking forward to talking to and getting to know you all in the coming months. I'll be spending a bit of time getting my bearings and gaining a feel for the space, but then I'll be jumping right in.

While I'm at it, I might as start with a strong opener: G.R.A.W. is one of my favorite GR titles.

But Breakpoint is looking like a possible usurper for me.

See you in the threads.

Yea, high time this thread be closed.

Talking about the game and the game's community can be beneficial, but making the sweeping statements about swathes of 'types' of community members is not helpful whatsoever.
Also, calling out and attacking individual players is not conducive to productive forum discussion.

I'm excited to see how things shift with TU5. Please don't hesitate to share your feedback when it drops on the 23rd... Especially if you are heavily impacted by the changes.

Well... that is unfortunate. Sadly, there is no way to recover items lost due to selling or deconstruction.

Also, the attempts at dunking on the OP don't really help anyone. If there's no advice or anything constructive to add, then please avoid just antagonizing others.

Thanks for the reports on this, everyone. I'll keep my eye out for more talk about this (and add it to my notes.)

I see it as sort of in the same spirit as why you don't typically get gear way above your level in the level 1-30 phase on the game. Better gear - gear more in line with your character quality and skill - d... Read more

I personally see it as something of a status symbol or stamp of assured quality... not unlike another system that uses different statuses, symbols, or groups in its jolly cooperation in order to differentiate allies.

Indeed if only I, as a Shepard, could be so grossly incandescent.

I couldn't agree more, on all fronts. As long as the thread doesn't split up and start having two different conversations side by side we should be all good.

Something to also keep in mind, while player vs. player encounters can provide very unique experiences, we humans often lack as much of a sense for the dramatic as our artificially controlled counterparts. Perhaps more intense and organic scenes, but with a craft-able opponent, you have craft-able experiences too.

As Hammer suggested, make sure you're not clicking around into other windows too much on startup. But I'd suggest restarting Uplay, and even a game reinstall with DX12 off. If you're still running into this issue, please reach out to Ubisoft Support and they'll do their best to help you find a solution.

As some other players in this thread have mentioned, and as rosch15 alluded to in so many words...
RNG is RNG on all platforms. There will be confirmation biases, there will be (for lack of a better term) Gear Envy..,

But it's just RNG being RNG.

Hey Wee.Irn.Bru, reinstall the game and Uplay itself (if on PC) and try launching again. If this graphical weirdness persists, please reach out to Ubisoft Support with as much detail and info (and ideally a screenshot since this is such a visual issue) included. They'll do their best to help you find a solution and get you back to playing properly!

If you can recall, do you know which emotes seemed to vanish, and when did you notice they were gone?

If I may pull back the curtain a bit (and hopefully this doesn't come across as a one man pity party because it's not...) the feedback on the forums can be mixed - it can also be loud and uniform - but for many of the day to day topics it is incredibly mixed. Difficulty, Enemy Behavior, Weapon Balance, Specializations, even things like Gear and Exotics (how/where they drop, not necessarily the overall quality) are all topics that over time and within the same thread you can often find countering or even flatly contradictory feedback. For many things, going with an option many players like can leave just as many feeling bitter.

That said, there are times where we look at a preponderance of collective feedback and, through different iterations, make some changes that (to be seen) I think will be extremely positive. In this case, I'm talking about Skills and Skill Builds as they moved from live, to PTS Days 1 & 2, to the rest of the PTS.

You can TLDR every loot thread into "More god rolls for less amount of time spent". Increasing the numerator and decreasing the denominator.

Perhaps. But examining how individual players interact with the system is just as important as the system itself.

Thanks for putting this thread up, it's been very helpful for consolidating a lot on this topic.

Which minigun(s) has this happened with (location-wise), does the issue persist across character and game-restarts?

Does this persist even after rebooting the game and fast travelling to the mission site?
