Lots have moved on now and Massive really have
****ed it up (esp DZ). Not sure they're gonna be able to fix even a small portion of the issues right now, never mind all the bugs!!!
Just incredibly frustrating at times
On the plus side, the crazies have probably moved on so no more death threats for them!!!
i honestly doubt they'll be able to change/ fix everything that is required.
They know the god roll M870s that can one shot are annoying
They know about how prevalent sentrys / reclaimer is in the dark zone
They know NPC health scaling is wrong
They know that the loot can feel not rewarding due to receiving so much trash tier loot
They know its not right that you shouldn't already have the reward tier of loot in order to obtain said tier of loot, despite this being a mechanic since Day 1.
They know that they promised an open world game and delivered us nothing but a mission repeat grind.
Then we go onto other things
They nerfed crafting into the point of it being useless
Which in turns negates all the processes around it, eg collecting materials, farming missions for loot to dismantle
The vendors become pointless once you reach end game as none of them have anything worthwhile
This in turn makes phoenix credits and DZ credits pretty much pointless
The gearscore system is used only to discriminate against other players and provides no use
The perks on some things are so strong that everything else becomes useless. Who wants knee pads that triple XP earned from accolades when you can have a sentry / reclaimer / tactician piece.
Who wants a gun that removes a status effect when you kill somebody when you can have 25 % more headshot damage ?
The amount of variance in the loot is off. Why should it be possible to get 268 items with values only barely above Good 214 rolls, a whole 2 Gear Score jump.
The list of things goes on and on. And none of them are actual bugs. There are plenty of those too. This is just some of the balance / design choices theyve got wrong.
I honestly don't think they can change it all as they won't have the full team of developers working on this after this much time. They'll have moved on and only the live team will be working on this. I don't know how big the team is, but can they correct all this ? I highly doubt it Its been said so much in this thread but I'll say it again. They go so much right in the early stages of the game. That rank up from 1 to 30 felt awesome. But end game got it all so wrong. Scrap it. Start again.
Roll on division 2.
