It’s a very poor patch. Their end game literally pushes everyone toward dps builds, and then they nerf said builds, in a PvE game, and then also shorten the expedition timers - timers that few want in the first place. It’s a bold move with a new player base who are already frustrated by a rocky launch and a number of other issues that aren’t addressed in this patch. I’m not surprised the community is frustrated with this patch. I’d also argue whilst they’ve aimed this patch at the streamer who min/max’s and who have caused most of these issues, they actually hit the casual gamer harder. I’ve really enjoyed this game, but this patch shows us everything we need to know about their future strategy.

At times with games you have to really wonder if the devs have ever actually played a game in their lives.
 
Just an FYI that loads of people are reporting disconnects mid expedition and character inventory wipes since today’s patch. I may give it a miss for a few days.
 
Same, still getting some. Level 20 now, fair bit of Rare gear and nearly world tier 10. I have a rifle that shoots down lightning and an assault rifle that bleeds. Very fun combination when the turret freezes them! :D
 
I am really enjoying this, but struggling to make progress in World Tier 6. I am a level 19 trickster and have some rare gear, I've also started modding my clothing so all of the mods I have selected work with my build. Maybe I'm just a bit rubbish.
 
The patch doesn't fix the crashing issue for me, yesterday I had 4 crashes in the space of 3 hours which isn't great, especially since they occurred during boss fights.

The nerfing of skills has also greatly impacted my Technomancer anomaly build, it's now far more difficult to near impossible to solo the game at the highest CT levels, where as pre-patch you could just about manage it with an anomaly build. If you're going to nerf some skills, at least make it so that the other skills in the tree are viable, rather than just having to go down the assault rifle+toxic rounds route.
 
This game is becoming incredibly annoying, the map needs a major overhaul and the indication beacon when you press the Tab key is worse than useless as it takes me to blocked paths more times than not.

Sounds EXACTLY like Massive with Division 2. Exactly.
 
Progression doesn't feel good either at the mid to high CTs
I'm finding that every time you go up one the game becomes impossibly difficult, so I find myself dropping 2 CTs to farm titanium and upgrade my gear, then upping my tier by clearing Chem Plant because it's so easy compared to literally every other expedition.
 
Apparently players are going to get free gear to apologise for initial launch issues.

the plan is to give each player’s highest levelled character a level appropriate legendary weapon, a level appropriate amount of titanium (the rarest resource in the game), and the Frustration emote.

Still pushing towards CT15 but not getting the drops I need.

Coop still seems iffy. Sometimes it's fine and then it crashes on every transition.

I would avoid coop, There is still a bug of loosing everything for a player (all loot etc) with no eta of when this will be fixed.
 
Well I'm close to level 30 and maybe the end of the story and all I can say is it's a superb extremely addictive looter shooter, with a lot of depth. I hated the demo, thought it was pants :p
