Says the guy that likes running raids over and over. And the thing is that raids are even worse with the repetition, since each one has an ideal strategy that pretty much everyone sticks to every time, with the same ideal weapons and same ideal gear.

Only if you want to. When was the last time you did the oracles on hard with everyone down in the well? Crota without using the ledge? That's a hundred times more fun for me than these patrol bounties.

That's interesting, because I've already had enough, and I haven't even done day 6. You're not doing anything new… you're just killing the same old dudes in the same old areas. The kill bounties aren't even really that challenging. Once the newness wears off, it's just… more of the same. It's just defeat the extraction crews with a chest at the end.

If you've had enough, why are you still playing? :P

Do you see me playing patrol mode and getting those bounties?

I didn't want it two be this way

Almost as bad as "those morons who have made two of the same character", huh?

Im just one of those awful people who has different PSN and DBO names haha

What kind of jerk uses different PSN and DBO names?

I've seen 25-30 chests. I saw one guy get a key once. It announces it just like a legendary engram.

Also I should note that I got my very first legendary engram drop via a purple globe since February over the weekend. Seems like that was too long a stretch.

Congratulations! :) I just need to say this... I had one drop over the weekend in skywatch when I soloed a pack of wolves while the enemy forces were moving against each other. Loads of fun. I can think of at least 4 purple engrams that have dropped for me on patrol, & 1 decoded into a legendary. :D

Funny thing is that that is exactly what I did to show Rev the power of a completely un-upgraded Horseman yesterday...
It's quickly become my Striker Titan's default Exotic.

If you only focus on the carrot, you're going to miss everything else around you.

Where did I talk about the rewards at all? The actual bounties are not that much fun. Yes, it's better with people, but you are again, doing the same shit you always do. It's easy and boring. IF you can do it 8 times that's fine, but I'd like some variety and challenge, something this expansion is going to need given no raid, which would provide that in spades.

If you had a blast, then I wish I was as easily amused.

THAT'S boring. The thing about these bounties is that you have a ton of freedom with regards to how you approach them, and the situation has a chance to change, which (as Revenant pointed out in his thread) can present you with a situation that you haven't encountered yet.

Do one of these events using only the 4th Horseman and a Saint-14 Titan, and your experience will differ from one playing as a Warlock using the Scorch Cannon and Radiance, even though you're running the same event.

Of course, some people who want all rewards handed to them on a silver platter might only focus on the treasure keys and the ease of obtaining them, but I just saw it as a fun time. Heck, the farming cost me a bunch of Raid weapons and exotics that I had in the postmaster, but I'd say it was definitely worth it just on fun alone.

DLC ain't even out and it's given me money's worth.

implying that you can only have fun if something is completely new.

It isn't what you're doing, it's how you do it, and with who.

I did it with Randoms, and had a blast.
I did it with a fireteam, and had a blast.
I did it with a raid team, and had a blast.
I did it with a friend's group that I've never met, and had a blast.

I did it During a public event,
I did it while enemies moved against each other.
I did it solo.
I did it with five other Randoms.
I did it with a heavy pike.
I did it as a Warlock with Hawkmoon.
I did it as a Titan with 4th Horseman.

All those times gave me a different experience, even though we were ostensibly doing the same thing each time.

And that's without the chest drops, which were only secondary in terms of what I was getting out of it. Once, while on the moon, we looked and looked for the chest, only to find it in the last 15 seconds far above us on the Accelerator, with no time to get to it. We laughed at the ridiculousness of the placement and watched it disappear, before rushing off to fight the next bounty.
