I know it is purely anecdotal but I do play quite a bit during prime time hours and weekends so my impression is that they aren't exactly being swarmed like event ark falls.

    The pistol sounds like it could be useful in WM and the det with expeditions and afflicted sieges but there are plenty of weapons out there that meet those needs. Also the 1% ammo regen bonus is pretty weak compared to Hallow Point & Prepared and it is almost useless on a det. And while I really like Respark shields this one has an almost worthless bonus that requires you to have both of the other weapons equipped to even activate it.

    So if you throw out the synergy you are left with 3 hard to get epic novelties that require 500 AF to being any real use. If they are going to make something hard to get then they need to make it worth the effort. If the rewards are going to be epic items then they should be worth upgrading to legendary. If they are meant to be nothing more then novelties then the drop rate should be better. If they are novelties that doesn't mean that they should be super easy to get but after 300+ ark falls you should see at least one drop. Most reasonable people will accept grinding for stuff and they will accept paying for stuff but they won't accept both unless the reward is really worth it because it's like having a job and paying for the privilege to do it.
    100% agree with this, except I just love the idea of a fire nano crash boomer/ground pounder. I only want 1 and if i manage to get that 1 then great. if not then oh well guess i didnt need it anyways. I at least like to try out all the weapons i havent yet to see if I would like them. Just like I have a bio passionate BR that has same rolls as a UD properly modded and premed. but I just dont see spending all that scrip on something that I basiclly already have. and I missed armistice so I guess that was a sign that I didnt really need it in the first place lol.

    I didnt read all that dribble but you missed my main point of judging the purg before using it.

    few days? some of us have been at this since it came out and still aint pulled it. i toook a break from hitting these arkfalls cause i was tired of not getting anything and basically wasting away my time trying to get these. remember.....some peoples RNG is broken to hell and some of us cant pull anything.

    Took me half a day, and another half a day to farm the forge to master, oj and supreme it...

    Took me a month to get the Longbore, and I probably need a year to get enough AF to master and supreme it.
    If that's what it takes to not sound like a condescending jerk, I'm fine with it.

    If you didn't read all that "dribble", then why did you bother responding (and laughing at for that matter) to a post you didn't fully read or understand what they were saying? He doesn't need the weapon to evaluate the usefulness of the syn like he did.

    As an owner of purgatory, I am pretty disappointed. It's a strong gun, but the explosion animation really kills my desire to use it. Part of me wishes I kept it as a T4 novelty gun.
