    Mate your off tap

    Soon as the servers come up last night...started grinding Lexington / Lincoln / Russian on challenging....no dramas...yeah snipers/shotties hit hard but if your playing with a half decent group who know how to play (cover, suppression, targeting priority) then it's no dramas. Yeah everyone died at least once or twice but it was more to do with lag than anything else

    My stats were 304k toughness + 320k DPS

    *Sigh* Tier 5 feels like 1.3 all over you dont run toughness your done. And right now I have 53% Armor with 120k health and still drop like nothing.

    Figures they didn't fix the level 34 NPC I hate to see when 35 NPC are reintroduced.

    Oh and also the bullet sponge is back to takes a whole mag to drop 1 NPC lol im tired of this. They even had people giving this same feedback in the PTS and they didn't fix any of it.
    Your 120K health (garbage) and bad build is the reason. I was steamrolling as soon as I changed into Tier 5. And there are no bullet sponges anywhere, level 34 npc's drop just as fast as level 33.

Its literally back to 1.3. you need to play tier 5 to get the new loot but your old gear barely even stands up in there. Its like they want you to play survival to get your gear since nothing matters in there.

    But trying to play stuff like Warren gate with old gear just doesn't really cut it.

    Again I have decent gear right now gear score 256, 280k toughness, 250k DPS, with 53% Damage mitigation. Like really how much more can people improve. Its literally back to 1.3 you really need to run all stamina again
    No, you dont have GS of 256 with only 280k toughness and 53% armor. That's not mathematically possible even. I have way more than that at 229 gearscore.

    The truth is that you thought you could faceroll Tier 5 in your 229 gear, it didn't happen and you deaded. Then starts whining things are too hard.
    Solo the lightzone is easy in 229 gear. But as soon as you hit the weekly hvt's or challenging missions, you need a group until you actually have 256.

    I'm finding the LZ just fine with my 1.4 skill build. I've got a 256 Pakhan, rolled out swift for predatory and activated it and destructive, and all is well. I'm sending my seekermines off for the initial strike and following up with my weapon. All from cover. All manageable.

    I am finding healing stations are a lot more powerful with vigorous chests as opposed to booster shot. It's the longevity of the station and the tactic I used before until my build was optimised with 229 gear. Running away from Rioters with baseball bats is a must. No harm being terrified when you're squishy. And taking my time about things keeps my head focused and on key to emilimating the enemy and completing my objective.

    I don't have any problem with Tier 5. NPC suppose to hit harder than Tier 4, and i dont see any problem with here. I have 52% Armor with 180k health and 5k Firearms, an i can solo run a supply drop from DZ 5 without any assist from other players. Tho i still need to take cover and it took me two minutes to finish the drop and i wasn't downed a single moment. I'm also, im not using any gear set 4 piece bonus (2 Preds, Specialize, Savage, 1 Alpha Chest piece and 1 Banshee mask) and I only use Pakhan which helps me a lot on downing those Level 34 Elites.

    My point is, Tier 5 is supposedly the most hardest level and we shouldn't complain about it. Those NPC do so much damage right now, but their health does not changed at all (i'm not sure with the heavies) and i don't believe that those NPC can downed you with 3 shots (except for shot gunners) which proves that this is not 1.3.

    I played with 2 friends on monday and yesterday after the patch.

    They both were last seen on patch 1.1, had some 182 GS. So we got some totally random parts on monday to bring them close to 229, and yesterday we got some totally random parts to get them above that. In fact their GS is now higher than mine, due to the fact they use every piece, because they dont have anything close to a good 229 build.

    We ran all weekly HvT, and we cleared them all. They were good fights, no steamroll, but by far managable. OP, get your gaming skills right, then come back complain it is too hard.

    Not there either. Just face the facts that you are made of glass.
