    End Game WAY to Difficult

    I wouldn't consider myself a bad player, I am doing quite alright in other games - but I am finding the Division way too difficult.

    It looks like there is a player base that masters the game and can finish missions in challenging or heoric, but this seems impossible for me to do.

    The Incursion missions are an example for me how this system is broken. It states Gear Score 160 Minimum / 180 Recommended but I need a team of 4 people with at LEAST 220 to finish the mission. The latest incursion (hard) I still haven't finished after 10 attempts with myself (220) and three 255 GS members. And this cant me just me if the whole team fails (again gear score 180 recommended) This is ridiculous.

    Now I read that on the latest test for 1.4 players find it too easy/balanced. What????

    Unfortunaly 1.4 won't bring the needed changes, cause those same players (who are the minory) complained 1.4 was to easy, and the developers intent to make it harder again.

    That is just one of the many balance problems The Division has, the only thing that will change with 1.4 is that we'll have the option to play on normal and get the same sets (but takes way longer).

    1.4 is fixing most of the balance issues related to difficult content. It will be much more accessible to the vast majority of players where as before only the most dedicated of teams with min/max gear could even think about attempting it.

    I have watched many hours of streams of average joe players and the content is much accessible now to everyone and can be done by any competent player. The min/max players are going to be mad that it is too easy now but nothing is going to please that group. Saying that 1.4 isn't bringing any good changes is just a flat out lie.

    These are 2 very different responses, but I guess I'll find out in a few days.

    I wouldn't mind to pay 2-3 dollars to get a good 255 gear set, have some fun and finish the game and be done with it.
    I am mainly sticking around because I paid for the game and dlcs, but apparently I am not good enough to enjoy it. Frustrating, very frustrating.

    I'm
    just curious... Do you have problems doing Heroic "Lexington Event Center" (The easiest I think) in a group? The incursions tend to draw a lot of new people that have trouble working together. Incursions require people that know how to do them. Gear score does not matter as much as teamwork and knowledge.

    Yes, lets all take the word of a guy who offends others and resorts to youtube videos to provide feedback, rather than the guy who has been playing 1.4 (PTS) since day one.

    I only recently started to play again. I think I quit during 1.2, and came back after I heard they were making 1.4. And I tried the PTS. I really liked the loot, and the difficulty was decent.

    But today I was playing 1.3, and while I use to be able to play in the DZ reasonably well solo, WOW! I was getting absolutely wrecked there today by NPCs. Their bullet sponginess (yes, that is now a word) is absurd, and the damage to me was as well. What in the world were they thinking doing this garbage? I literally ran out of bullets trying to take down a boss. I see why they needed to make 1.4, but seriously, who in hades thought 1.3 was a good idea. And the loot is total garbage. I am actually surprised anyone (except the hardcore) is still playing.

    About those that "mastered" the game, they apparently have gear that makes them competitive. I use to, but not when I came back.
    1.4 cannot get here soon enough.
