@virtual-chris I know the feeling on group but it really does breathe new life. Can help with the sponge too! And as suggested if the group is going where you want to then just leave, I've done it more than a few times when it's a mess! Similarly I've gone on with an intention from a session and never achieved it when I dropped into a group for a break and just played along instead for a few hours
As for exotics and rng! I'm sure you said you had a vile mask, my jealousy knows no bounds! I've picked up all sorts but this eludes me still. I've decided just to wait and hope, after all when I get that I'm going to have to start rethinking what to do instead of memento for a while....
@n3mb0t the timing is always being measured its on after action report and all your times are stored on leaderboards I think? You can measure against friends etc or even yourself if you check prior to your run

@virtual-chris it's the novelty though. The fact you can jump from hard to heroic shows how broken it is as a directive surely. As a permanent feature it would render the lower levels obsolete. Not great for the long term future surely? As a one off its quite fun in some ways, but I find when matchmaking there's a number of issues. Group play can be a nightmare as everyone rushes to get gb and lower difficulty is mind numbingly boring as soon as you get gb. I can see the appeal solo on occasion but it completely breaks other aspects of the game
Anyone else got some really funky luck in summit today, in 20 floors I've had 4 mementos drop!
@xcel30 totally was just a rambling example of how I'd like the specialist categories to matter and would be a great change to see people spending more time to look at what they're using and how it effects their setup. Would change the game overnight, sure 90% odd just use one and run with it cause it doesn't have that much impact on playstyle right now
I'm hoping that one of the big shifts in the new update is that the specialisations are reworked and become truly important. Imagine demolitionist reworked to be a true dps, survivalist becomes the new support/healer, technician is a true skill build exclusive etc. Think it would make a huge difference to builds and the make up of groups. Definitely change the way everyone played and make for a more interesting experience
Think it depends on what's going on. Nowadays I like group to play heroic whilst I'm still playing solo on challenging. When I've finished season or looking for something different then groups can be fun. If there's something specific I need to do I'll probably do it solo. Think as someone said I like the way group adds a new dimension to the game, particularly in down weeks like this one
