I can't log in, getting Bravo-4 disconnect errors. [censored], I thought maintenance had ended??!!

I've managed to get 8 levels in the past few hours and SHOULD have 2 SHD Apparel event keys, but NOTHING. No keys are being added to my account.

What is going on? A new bug?

@dagrommit Oh, Dear God... Removing that stupid "lose stacks on miss with Strikers"... YES!!! HOT DAMN!!! Finally!!!

Sure I'll take the lose 2 stacks per second over losing stacks on miss any day. Now my high Rate-Of-Fire build might not suck as it did before with Strikers.

Like @xcel30, I found the stacks fell off too quickly for it to be worthwhile. Admittedly, part of that is my poor aim, so you might do better.

If the Devs just dropped that loose 2 stacks on miss, Strikers would go from one of the worst to the absolute BEST gear set for DPS.

Went to the summit in an attempt to farm a Golan Gear backpack. I used the following settings:

Difficulty: Heroic
Directives: 4, 100% chance increase
Targeted Loot: Golan Gear Ltd.

Spent 2 solid hours in the summit going from levels 1 through to mid-'90s, but not one backpack dropped!! Started solo and picked up 3 additional agents within 15 minutes, so most of the time it was a 4 man PUG, so targeted drops were plentiful.

Ended up with stacks of holsters, gloves, masks, with the occasional knee pads and vests, but not a single backpack dropped in that 2 hour time.

Is this a bug with the loot table?
Or does my luck just absolutely suck?

Do you know what is SUPER frustrating with this topic?

It's that you only need one tiny tweak to the Striker gear set to make it great. Just drop the "2 stacks are lost every time you miss." condition from Strikers Gamble and the set will go from the worst to one of the best!

At the moment I am using a 3 piece Striker set to get the weapon handling and rate of fire increase. Then I have a Grupo Sombra S.A. chest piece with Obliterate, to try to replicate the Strikers Gamble. Now it's proc'ing off critical hits and I can only get to 25% damage bonus, but that combination is awesome!

The real issue is with that "2 stacks are lost every time you miss." condition, is that when you're using a sub-machine gun, LMG or high rate-of-fire assault rifle, it is so easy to miss with a short burst of fire, losing all your built-up stacks. IT SUCKS!
