    Just played the game and I feel like I wasted my time. The game is not fun.

    All I wanted to do was have a little upgrade to my gear. I logged into The Division and I did some High Value Targets. All I got was lonestar gear. I tried the Dark Zone, but I'm not geared enough to get updated gear. I go to Falcon Lost and I played for an hour only to have the team wipe. I left feeling frustrated. I just wasted my time. I'm not a hardcore player, I don't even have a full 240 set. I can't devote hours and hours a night to playing a video game.

    I can't even use all the new gear set combinations because they won't drop for me. What's the point of a new feature if I can't get to use it? I thought about buying the season pass just so I could get guaranteed updates, but then I realized, that's why the game is so punishing and unforgiving. It's made in an attempt to get people to buy the season pass. Maybe the developers could work on making the activities more fun rather than making them punishing and not rewarding.

    It seems as though in the pursuit of not having people walk away from the game because they had fun and did all of the activities, you've made people walk away from the game feeling as if they wasted money purchasing it.

    They have taken the fun out of the game , lost the plot and nerfed it to death, the last 3 weeks loot has been the worst ever, a lot based game with crap loot..Was in DZ 6 today for a little while got some loot 268 bits 5 items all were lower stats than the 182 gear i was wearing... been trying for 3 weeks to get gear item worth keeping but nope ALL junk and i have extracted over 1000 item in that time.. one 229 weapon and it was weaker than the one i had ..

    totally get how you feel. i stopped playing a while back.. i came back when the expansion came out.. my gear score maybe 249-252 now but my char is weak as hell... i just went into the DZ and got a random drop of a 268 and then i was killed by 4 players and had my loot stolen straight away.. then went onto trying to kill npc's and was constantly downed because they are way overpowered ... all i wanted to do was run about the DZ for a while and try and get some better gear.. can't seem to do anything anymore unless your in a group.. and that group has to be hard as nails too! pathetic!

    Agree ... if you do matchmake you get kicked if you gear score is not high enough and you are more likely the better player .... Don't figure ?? ? I was in a daily challenge mission today and used Matchmake to complete it....all the guys I was matched with had higher gears scores than me, I had to revive a them on more than two occations during the challenge.... I ended up finishing the mission on my own, they were all dead and there was too much going on for me to revive any of them during the final part........

    This is either a lie or you clearly do not know what you are doing in DZ...
    You get so much 229 weps+gear in DZ231+ (all lvls 01-06) and HE Sealed caches(they give tons of 229 weps) that you need to extract like every 5 mins...

    Keep opening the chests not just farming the bosses if you are after weps or HE items ie. Chest with vigorous.

    The season pass isn't any better really. You can get high level fire/blind sets, but considering those are crap you aren't losing anything. After that everyone is in the same position you are. Have 3 friends on 24/7 with equal gear or don't play the game. Pretty easy decision. That isn't even touching that the game has become less enjoyable as we get weaker and everything gets more spongey.

    Congrats on that :-) The RNG hates me.

    Been running the daily & weekly HVT's since the last update and haven't seen any gear drop over 240, mostly just 191's that are garbage. No weapons over 186 yet either.
    With the loot and RNG in its current state I see almost no incentive to play anymore. The HVT's are and were a poor excuse for PVE content to begin with.
    Its a shame but the game has mostly become a non fun waste of time for me as well.

    Damn that does sound like bad luck, honestly the last 2 days I have been blessed with gifts from the gods! Tbh though before the update I did feel similar to u but I still played thru it as I really enjoy the game!
