Not happy to see another colossal exploit like this. My Boy Scout buff is about to wear off, lol.

Gear score was a terrible addition to the game imo, at least having it so publicly displayed. I'm fine running a ~140 through challenge modes and did like four runs with a 130 GS guy last night, but half the people show up via matchmaking, see the low guy, and bail. You can end up in a MM loop for 10 minutes just because of this, or the group breaks and you have to start over.
I believe that's what happened to me last night. Tried to get an MM game going on the Hard dailies and GA and was a waste of time.
People were doing Hard mode of the regular missions as they leveled up; I can't see it being any worse just because it's a daily.
I was resetting Challenge FL with my alt and invited a guy, he left because my alts GS was 165.
If it was possible, they'd probably just kill em and rape me with a GS of 89.
Took a while to get a Lincoln Tunnel Challenging doing with a GS of 174 the other day.
I get 180s taking me to final rooms and then get kicked even when I carry my weight or clutch rez my group right before checkpoint happens, I'm 166.
I have a hard time getting a challenge group at 154. As a weird side note on social experiments, the only people who gave me a chance all had foreign accents. One guy let me stay at 145 by saying "who cares guys, we are all overgeared and maybe he's a badass" kudos to you foreign guy.
Also the recommended gearscore is 130 and I 3 manned tunnel with everyone at 150 before. People are assholes.
That's been the case since forever, in every online game I've ever played. Whether it was FFXI and RME only, XIV, WoW, DDO, and probably every MMO ever with getting heckled/kicked for not having raid tier gear in a dungeon, or even FPS and having access to weaker/lower level guns. I don't want to say a majority, but a sizable portion will always hedge their bets on gear rather than chance it on a random without said gear to be good enough. The issues arise when people apply that logic to the most mundane of things, like the hard/challenge modes mentioned.
FWIW, I usually match make a hard when I start it and it fills fairly instantly once I enter the mission area. I think it flags you as in-progress thus prioritizing invites to you until your group is full; whether they accept those invites or leave after joining is just as much up to RNG as the loot. It's when you stay back at the start of the area that you get spammed with the 'join this run' prompts, leaving your fate to some power hungry 9 year old on the other side of the world. I don't care about GS cause I'm going to solo it regardless. If you're on PS4 can add me at Malithar1 if anyone needs help.
So I'm trying to get a new weapon. After a few runs through Lex and the hard dailies with Fondue I've got just over 200 PxCs. I looked at the vendor in tech wing for blueprints, but other than a higher gear score, they're not really any better than what I'm already using. Where are all the good blueprints?
Also, thanks Fondue.
Dark zone. if you stand in the "waiting room" at the bottom then close the game and reopen it, you can basically glitch into the "safe room" with the blueprints without actually zoning into the DZ.
Works va West 39th too so i assume it probably works via most if not all. Really handy if there are people camping entrances.
Being on vacation in another city during the patch and dark souls 3 release is a killer, while I am very relaxed, coming back behind will be a big pain. Hoping my gear score is at least ok when I get back on.
