    New players first impressions

    Hi to all. All skinny, fat, short and tall.

    (Sorry for my grammer. As I'm posting this on mobile i dont have a spell check. Hopefully it will be readable enough.)

    So to the point:

    I have been playing this game for about a week and have rougly 70sh hours played as well as 1 agent to 30 and a second to lvl 25.

    - I absolutely love this game so far.
    I played few shoters back in the day such as MOH, COD, Battlefield.
    What stands out to me about this one is the WoW like MMO feel with HEAT the movie steet shootout couple with the fantastic cover system.

    -Love the loot and gearing system
    -Love the veriety of armor sets and weapons.
    - Love the graphics, the agent movement
    - Absolutely Love the AI and how good and agressive they are.
    - Love the people i have met so far in the game.

    Now few things i dont like so far:

    - The negativity and opinions in forums to me do not reflect the reality about the game.
    If i came here and read the forums to see if i wanted to play this game instead of trying it out first i prabobly wouldnt bother even downloading it.
    So please stop the nonsense and be constructive in your posts.
    And remember that becouse you dont like sonething about the game that dosent mean others will feel the same.

    - in pve my only complain is on my experience so far is that i seem to be taking little bit to much damage. Mainly from Elites.
    I understand there was a substantial armor nurf recently and all i would say is please buff the armor in pve somewhat. Maybie from 35% to 50-60%?.
    Have players t reduced armor apon entering LS or DZ .

    -server lag and or game optimization needs attention.

    -devs please be carfull not to ruin PVE fun and diversity with PVP balancing. I have played many games over the last 25 years and i have seen this far to offen.

    There is no reason you cant have a different set of rules/tonned down skill effects etc... take effect once you enter Last Stand or the Dark Zone.
    Yes i know dark zone is also a pve zone however since it is a increased risk area the pvp balance inside of it could be considered also the higher risk in that zone.


    IN conclusion.

    Thank you to the development team for bringing us this fantastic game.

    Please keep bringing us more content and updates.

    I believe this game hase the potential to be the next Huge MMO out there With substantial Investment of bouth money and brain power to develop it further.

    The window of opportunity is here but quick decisive action and substantial investment of resources has to be made NOW!! or that window will close and others will capitalize on it.

    Thank you agein for a great game!!.

    We've been playing thus since day one. We're hashing out so things get done. Day one bugs are still in this game believe it or not.

    Would you be all happy as Harry knowing your build is being nerfed for a 5th time?

    Welcome aboard mate, ignore all the negativity on these boards. Most are just salty about one thing or another, I just accept the changes massive keep making and continue playing, just adapt that's all there is to it.

    Oh please.
    Until your build has been gutted for the umteen millionth time,you have no clue about the negativity.

    And then,to top it off,you're in your second week and already asking for changes.
    If you'd been here sooner,you'd have been part of the problem.

    60% armor buff. LOL
    And by the way...they BUFF the armor for Last Stand already.

    Considering the game is only 1 year old you have to expect that there will be alot of rebalancing in the first year.

    That said however i can understsnd the players frustrations with there builds changing so offe.
    All i can say is try your best to be pationed and see how the game is in your 2 etc..

    There is no year 2 plan. The game will be dead.
    And the latest patch was not a re-balancing patch. They completely changed the game. For the worse,I might add.
    This is not even close to the same game I purchased.

    Funny that you are already asking for armor buffs.
    Do you know what the main item of the last patch was? They REMOVED all armor from the major stats.
    I logged off with 475,000 toughness one day and logged on with 300,000 the next.
    And they nerfed my skill power cool downs on another build...how much you ask? Over 1,000%

    So your 60% idea is funny. That's about how much armor they removed.

    It doesn't even matter. I hope you enjoy it. I've already quit myself and I'm part of a very large number.

    They (massive) released a game that on release day was a great game, apart from some bugs. Then they proceeded to almost kill the game with patches and updates until we arrived at 1.3 and still hemorrhaging players. So then someone at Massive got smart and came up with 1.4 and turned the pve game back to a better state than the day one release version, apart from those bugs. That lasted about a month until they decided to fix the game again and here we are at 1.6.

    Bl**dy shame.

    Hey I get your optimism but lets be real here.

    You play for 2 weeks then tell someone to be patient....Someone who's been playing since beta (a full year) who has been through all the ups and downs. Players that have had things given and taken away. Players that have participated in PTS and players who have been flown to a different country to serve as the voice of the community to help Massive/UBI improve the game. Players that spent months grinding for gear and stuff to create builds that allowed them to enjoy the game finally.

    I'm sorry but you are out of line here. You can't be the new guy joining the basketball team and tell the vets on the team "hey, give the coach a chance" when those players already know the coach ain't **** to begin with because, well they've had a year or more worth of experience with that coach than you do.


    Overall, the negativity about this game isn't just only about the game itself. It's about Massive as a company and the poor decisions they've made and the poor design changes they made with this game but mostly people are negative because Massive promises this or that and never delivers.


    So sorry, there is no such people in this game who have been playing for any length of time who SHOULD be patient. Time of waiting and seeing how much better than game will get is over. It's time for this game to show whether it's gonna be "IT" or "****".

    Bottom line, Massive is on the hot seat for whether this game will remain a quality game. If they don't come with something great in the next few months, this game won't make it to year 2. Even then, based on what I see when I log on lately (compared to what I saw in the first 8 months before 1.5 dropped), I'd say the game won't be in good enough shape to remain a AAA title any large number of players care about.

    Game is awesome man. I have 34 days game play and I still love it. It needs to go through few fixing but don't listen to everyone's grieving. People, in general, have tendency to complaint and they complaint about anything. It's instinct and can't be wiped out completely from human race.

    Adapt to new things, and you will absolutely love every bit of it.
