Good afternoon all,
I purchased the Division for PS4 Xbox One and also PC. I purchased the collectors edition for the Xbox One and the PS4 and just the gold edition of this game for pc. I have played this game since launch and have put in my fair time into ranking up 2 separate characters on PS4 and have started ranking up 2 other characters as well. I am very disappointed in the fact that this new update that is coming 1.6 and the last stand DLC that I had to pay for is strictly benefitting the PVP player base of this game and not benefiting the PVE player base of this game. Now should PVP be better? Yes it should, but not at the expense of PVE. The changes that are in the PTS right now Massive is not making PVP better they are making PVE worse. Why on earth would you make PVP changes that affect the PVE players and their play style, with limited heals removing our armor rolls that we have done on our gear. Making us or I should say forcing us to have to do skill builds for PVE. That is just crazy to make all of the PVE player base change the style they play and have played for 11 months and the fact that we have grinded for certain gear and now once again it will be totally useless once this update comes out. Do us all a favor Massive just please for the love of GOD remove the skill based portion of this game and just plainly remove it. This is supposed to be a shooter a tactical or a cover based shooter. I don't need my skill power to be at 250k in order to pull that off I need my DPS at 598k to pull that off. If you go through with these changes that affect the PVE your player base is going to continue to get smaller and people are finally going to be fed up with your changes all the time and you forcing us to play this game Skilled based. We don't like it we don't want it and for those that do, then make this change only for PVP.
Thank you for time
The whole game is a PvE fest...**** off.
You're getting a new incursion + they put PvE aspects in a PvP mode and you wankers are still complaining.
I am a mainly PvE player and the view you reply to does not represent me or probably the majority of PvE players. In my opinion, the changes made so far actually enhance the PvE game and make it better. I'm sure people will both agree with and disagree with that and that is their choice. The OP falls in to the latter and whilst his argument isn't made in the most constructive or easy to read manner, his opinion is valid.Originally Posted by RoyalAhole Go to original post
Now, why I disagree with the OP.
Whilst the main aim of this patch was to be PvP based, there is significant content added to the PvE realm of this game. The new incursion, the new legendary modes and if you are willing to go there, the new areas of the DZ to explore. (I know there is a risk of PvP here but it can be avoided, please don't be scared to explore)
Yes, the stats have changed and yes you will have difficulty with surviving if you run an unbalanced build. You are correct that you don't need 250k skill power to be successful. You will not even need 200k with the current PTS build. Currently, my tankier build carries 140k which is one gear piece rolled to electronics and this works very well. Having a successful build in the current version of the PTS in my opinion means thinking and building some balance in to it rather than just throwing everything you have in to one area and thinking its going to be good.
I didnt say there was no new content for PVE i Said if you read my post that they are forcing us to change our builds that should only be affected for the PVP aspect of this update. The gear changes and the skills and heals stuff like that should not be changing for the PVE area of this game. Thanks for the reply though sir
Ofc it should be changed. The facetanking no skill playstyle was broken af.Originally Posted by michigangamer24 Go to original post
And this a MMORPG, not a shooter.
From my experience I do not feel strong as before, even 1.6 pts week 1. I get flustrated by latest changes, especially when you find changes to system in game not in patch notes which are silent. Currently even sitting in cover all day long I feel squishy and force me to invest everything to self heal and protection. Paradox is that I have best feel with my lowest stamina gear as it is skill power build with extra 46% skill haste, so even squishy, I can heal myself 6 times per minute. My current balanced builds do it once per 40-45s and heal me less
