    Things in this game that are broken, stupid, or otherwise boring as hell

    1. The vendors. Between the Base of Operations has a staggering 8 vendors. Weapons, Gear, Mods, Dark Zone, Advanced Weaponry, Special Equipment, Appearance, & Rewards Claim. There are another 13 scattered among all of the districts outside the DZ, and another 4 within. 25 vendors in the game...and they all sell COMPLETE bull****. This doesn't even include the vendors at the checkpoints. Nevermind between them all, they use 3 different types of currency. Hell, the ones in the DZ charge you DZ funds, but when you sell stuff to them, give you ordinary credits. It's unreal how much meaningless bull**** is for sale in this game...just how little is of any benefit, especially to ANYONE that's reached level 30 in the game.

    2. The Scavenger box. LOL Seriously would love to mean the ******* who thought that that would add anything meaningful to the game whatsoever.

    3. HRT/HVT missions. Could you have made these any more mundane and unrewarding? I seriously doubt it. The same bosses, the same tired *** gear set...each...and every...day. When they're not busy bludgeoning you to death with Lone Star gear, they're throwing Phoenix credits at you that allow you to purchase absolute GARBAGE at the "Advanced" Weaponry vendor. Seriously...the rewards they give you are so awful, I'm not sure why anyone puts any time into these whatsoever. The gear is worthless at this point, as are the PC's. If this is the kind of PvE content we're going to get, all I can do is laugh and shake my head. And what's with the mundane task of having to gather intel just so we can reap these paltry rewards? Talk about salt in the wound.

    4. The DZ. Huge discrepancies in gear, talent, and party size among DZ goers, too easy to go rogue accidentally, insanely difficult AI and quantities of AI, and still largely BS loot drops. Unless you're a supremely gifted player, or you glitched the daylights out of the Falcon Lost Incursion and recalibration station...it's simply not an even remotely enjoyable experience for most. Hundreds of threads devoted to it, no need to go into further detail here.

    5. Lack of PvE content. Still waiting for his to happen. The HVT's are just garbage and can't be considered anything even remotely close to the type of content needed to address the lack therof for PvE players. Hopefully Underground is the solution

    6. The daily assignments. Really? CRAFTING ASSIGNMENTS? Nevermind what an incredible joke it is to keep throwing "kill 10 RIkers" at us. Could these assignments be any more mundane? And to think they have some moron actually producing videos on this stuff trying to give it emphasis. Oh yeah....and great...more Phoenix credits.

    7. Gold division tech. I'm maxed at 999 pieces on 2 different characters. You can't do **** with it. They throw it at you everywhere, and act like that's some sort of huge concession when the reality is...blue DT is more valuable. The rate at which you acquire gold parts and electronics now is a joke. Now you have people dropping down to the 161-200 bracket just to farm f'ing MATERIALS.

    8. BS weapons. How are you going to give some types of weapons that have bonuses against players, but some that are only relevant against NPC's? WTF is wrong with you people?

    9. RNG. When you have two people with the exact same gear, at the exact same gear score, and have two players whose builds are so far apart that a night and day comparison doesn't even cut it...you've failed. When I have 163 guns with no mods with higher DPS than 204 weapons, you've failed. There isn't an ounce of skill involved in putting together a good character. This game is predicated completely on luck, except where people cheated/glitched so they could circumvent that luck.


    I'm sure there are myriad other things that could be added but really....this game is pretty comical at times.

    Doing S&D's and not receiving the rewards when returning to the board.

    Getting stuck in boxes when jumping off of shipping containers.

    The line in the sky taking you to a fence you can't climb because it's topped with barbwire.

    Idiots blocking the way out of the safe houses. Go wait in the corner like everybody else who's AFK/C.

    Not being able to get rubber pants. I want rubber trousers to finish off my riot gear set.

    This is only today's gripes. I've got a few more hours of play yet I've not maxed out all my toons credits.

    The HVTs 99.8% of the time rewarding lone star is absolutely baffling that that is what the devs want, unbelievable. I'm literally incapable of improving my character at this point. I need better weapons and the fact that I did all the weekly HVTs and got 2 204 M870s with garbage perks is INFURIATING. Add the fact that I can only get 1 new piece of 240 gear a week is also infuriating. I've been stuck at 186k dps, 254k toughness(74k health, 71% armor), and 5k electronics for what it seems like decades. With those stats I can't do **** in the dark zone to try and get better gear and the fact that all I ever keep getting is lone star in PvE is utter bull. Challenge mode incursion? LOL, I don't stand a chance there either.

    I'm in The same boat as You.. Cant improve my character what so ever.. I'm at 220k dps, about 225 toughness(only at 67k health and 69% armor) and 10k skill. Got about 15 days ingame time now and for The last 12 of them i have been runing my **** build.
    I know what build i want and i know how to Get there, but there is no way for me to do it.
    DZ 5-6 farming? Forget it. DZ 1-4 farming? Yeah i can do it If there arent rogues camping outside The freaking safehouses killing You The sec You leave. But there isn't anything in it for me there, The gear drops Are worse than The ones i have already.. Challenge mode incursion? No way.
    Hard mode incursion? No way i Get better gear there.
    HVT missions? I dont need Lone Star..

    They have made it imposible to actually progress in this game. You didn't play when there where glitches with The ReRoll table and Incursions? Well to bad 4 You, now You dont got a way to Get better gear. They really need to give The players thats in The low scale of 200+ bracket a way to Get better gear.. A way to progress into The High scale of 200+ bracket. I'm Thinking about leaving this game behind just for this reason. There is no fun in The game when You cant progress, when your stuck with a mid scale character. Let me progress my character ffs!

    Just my 2 cents...you be WAY better off if you backed off your DPS a bit and focussed more on your toughness and even a little on your electronics. You basically abandoned the bulk of your character's build so you can dish out more damage. Survivability should be first and foremost, my friend. You'll deal more damage if you're alive long enough to dish it out. Also, you can augment your DPS significantly with your skill power. But yeah...the DZ can be brutal with 400K Toughness...especially if your Exotic Damage Resilience is garbage. With 254...you're teetering on a build that's completely unsuitable for play in the DZ. Especially when your armor mitigation isn't maxed.

    But yes...the problem is gettin gear to replace this so that you can improve those numbers. It's tough because the places you need to go to get that gear....your current gear isn't suited to take you. It's a complete Catch 22. THey've got to make better gear available outside the DZ so people can enter the DZ and be competitive. Forcing them to go into the DZ in an noncompetitive state to get gear so they can GET competitive, is a flawed approach.

    this thread is my feelings towards this POS of a game, I love the division but the things they're doing are infuriating, seriously Lone star is the most broken gear in the game it's like you coded it to drop guaranteed and the rest of the gear just have to pray it'll drop. Oh and thanks for the bugs on the intel missions love to run into the location and no mobs are there yay for that. I hope you fix this crap with your underground expansion but knowing ubi they probably won't.

    I keep coming back to these forums to see if it's worth trying the game again. Sad to see it's still FUBAR. I wonder if they'll ever get it right?

    It comes down to how bad the RNG is in this game.

    They wanted to get people "away" from crafting, but the only thing that made crafting annoying was the fact that you were going to have to roll 50 of the same gun to maybe get a decent one. That's what made the material bottleneck so annoying and why people complained so much about Division tech. The new bottleneck is tools/electronics and it still rains fabric on us.

    All they've really done is move their horrible RNG from the crafting table to the boss drops and in a way it's arguably worse because this means we have to contend with hoping we get the gun type we want on top of hoping it has good talents.

    People argue that it shouldn't be "too easy" to get good weapons but after you've deconstructed/sold literally hundreds of them and you're reasonably sure that there's no end in sight, that just makes people quit.

    Wow, Great summary I agree with everything except the stuff about DZ NPCs. As a PvE instance, DZ is great, it's PvP that's unbalanced and has a poor concept
