With the new season, the devs are tweaking gear; Shock Resistance, Health, Incoming Repairs and Swap Speed are being removed from gear attributes, and PfE is being added...

...and this had made me think about gear mods.

We've got a whole bunch of different gear mods that almost never get used, pretty much only in Backfire builds.

(Fire, Bleed, Shock & Disrupt, Blind & Deaf, Disorient & Ensnare)

Wouldn't it be nice if all of these were scrapped and we just got 'Status Resistance' instead...? Or even simpler, just lump it in with HazPro?

(Also, proto mods would be awesome, but that's another discussion...)

MICROWAVE COILS ARE BACK!

National Bond Armoury is free for a week, if you want to cheese it for some EXP.

Join a random MM party. Load in, leader is sitting at the Campus, pane up with Fast Travel to Wall Street. I hit Z to fast travel, game disconnects, kicks me out to the Delta panel, I hit Space, go back to the launch screen, log it...

Still in party, leader is still at Campus, fast travel pane is open again. Hit Z, game disconnects, kicks me out to the Delta panel again...

You know, at this point if the Devs put a 'master cache key' in the store that allowed a one-time, one-use ablility of opening-all-your-apparel-caches-at-once, for a couple of bucks?

Yeah, I'd pay that.

DCD HQ is Breaking Point
DUA is Rifle
Roosevelt Island is Aegis
Air&Space is Rigger
Wall Street is Concentrated Company

Enjoy!

Oh, also; the vendor has backpacks...

AND LMGs!

Pretty unexciting:

DCD Headquarters Walker Harris.
District Union Arena Exuro
Roosevelt Island Electrique
Air&Space Museum Holster
Wall St Imminence Armaments.

...soooo, that pretty much seems like just doing Air&Space all day for all the named holster drops, methinks.

...or has communication with matchmaking teams basically ceased in the last few months?

My clan is mostly dead at this point, and the friends that used to play are either away or moved to other games, but I still play, and while I see clanmates and friends occasionally, that means mostly matchmaking.

I'll get the odd emote; salute/wave/thanks, but I cannot remember the last time someone typed anything in chat or even voice on a mic.

I play on PC so the keyboard is ~right there~ in front of the players, it's not as if the matchmaking is for console gamers.

Anyone else finding similar? I wonder sometimes if the other players are just bots because they just don't communicate.
