    Why 1.4 ruined my experience

    Now I know most of you are skeptical about this post already, because 1.4 did do wonders in the 30 bracket, however me and my clan usually play 14.

    Untill a few weeks ago I was only using purples, and I was going up against people who had yellows and was able to keep up, not win, but keep up, I had a build with 273 firearms and 23k toughness, which is very good for a 14 with purples, all my gear was min-maxed.

    Constantly getting ganked and put into the check Point by these ****ers with highends really pissed me of, so me and my team decide to upgrade to yellows, for the sole purpose of keeping up.

    I was extremely happy when I heard that they're taking away the high ends bellow 30, now that the dz will be more than just 1v1s and shotguns.

    But come patch day they **** up, in the biggest way possible. Not only did I keep my highends, now people who come into the game fresh, will have no way of keeping up as they took away the purples in the dz, the vendors only sell blues and the supply drops and contaminated chests only give blues, they may aswell took a **** on the game, as that is the experience new players will be getting once they start playing again, or starting new.

    Thank you if you've read this far, and please share this with massive.

    I would give you a potatoe, but this isn't 9gag

    Bro, from what i read, maybe you should try going up to higher GS and Tiers. Its clearly that with your current gear set and weapon, those who are in lower tiers are currently have better gears than you as you still use purples. Try gearing up for high ends and gear sets while still on lower tiers, that should solve your problem. You can still enjoy the lower tiers even if you have full set gear sets and high ends as the tiers will scale you to what you have (Gear Score).

    Also, the reason why vendors still sells blues as you are currently on a lower Tier. Try too switch from Tier 1 to Tier 2 and you will see the difference. And dont force yourself to gear up to Tier 4 as you need be min max everything before switching to new Tiers.

    No I think you didn't understand what I wrote dude, I play the 0-14 bracket, and everyone has highends, it's ruining the game, I have them too, but just so I Can compete, I used to run purples, then moved to highends, and now they've nerfed the 14 dz so new players who have neither highends or purples will only be able to get blues, thus expanding the power vacuum between the players, it's going to ruin the game for new players and people who are coming back and starting from scratch, what more the shotguns in the 14 bracket got buffed, can you believe that ****, shotguns got buffed, they used to be two shot to the body and now they're one shot to the body, it's like they're doing it on purpose, and yeah I could just move of to play on my 30, but the 14 is where my whole divison clan met, there are a **** ton of clans bellow 30, and it gets fun and competitive, untill someone pulls out a shotgun, I miss extracting on my 14, hiding behind a crate so other players cant see me, running out on the last 10 seconds to put my loot on, killing people for there loot, that's all missing bellow 30, as the only true way to gear up effectively bellow 30 is to use exploits in order to get yellows.


    And massive, if youre reading this thinking "oh, well atleast we fixed ug, secure the quarantine and heroic missions so that players bellow 30 can't get yellows in any way shape or form anymore"
    Think ****ing again, my clan has already found new ways to get them, and it hasn't even been a ****ing day since 1.4, try fixing the ****ing sealed caches that we can buy if we join on to a 30 with a low level.

    Oh and challenging missions drop yellows for bellow 30, all we need to do is pulse the boss from a distance with level 12 and have a 30 kill it before the pulse wears off.

    It's three simple things that you can do to save the game, nerf ALL shotguns by 30% not just the 229, remove auto lock aim in pvp on console, and put high ends into every bracket if you cant remove them from the lower levels.

    Please, don't kill my favourite game, I'm begging you massive pull your **** together.


    One more thing, I do believe you guys have what it takes to fix this game, I'm sorry if I sounded so angry and vicious, but I'm just passionate.

    Please forgive me.
