    3 Major Complaints About This Past GE Unrelated To RNG

    RNG issues aside I had three major problems with this GE.

    1) It was not fun. The modifier was more of a hindrance to the gameplay than adding something that tweaked the gameplay to make it fresh. There wasn't much fresh about NPCs dropping grenades in normal strike mode it was in fact kind of annoying, and if you did the playlist missions with the extra modifiers it just became straight up annoying. Constantly being staggered is not fun, you can't avoid getting shot so it wasn't something you could try and mitigate by your playstyle, and overall the modifier made it a chore to do this GE.

    2) It was too loud. The constant explosions going off was interesting for the first 5 minutes. After that I turned my game volume down to almost mute. But I still was able to hear well enough for....

    3) The server lag issues. On PS4 I was dealing with teleporting enemies for most of the week. Over this past weekend and last night the main problem though was the sound lag, or bug, or whatever it is that causes all of the audio to be playing out of synch, or for it to all come slamming out at once when you complete the mission.

    I couldn't agree more! The blasts ALL THE TIME were terrible. I hopped into Lexington last night and, along with the blasts, this guys mic was picking up everything. Chewing, lip smacking, TV in the background, cursing woman, sniffles etc. It was ridiculous! I played half the mission at almost no volume.

    I will say because of that lag one night I was able to get 2 of the masks because I couldn't catch up to my teammates.

    That would fall under the "RNG issues aside", everyone knows the loot system is bad but that is consistent with every GE. The first GE was kind of interesting with the whole headshot modifier, and with the added modifiers on the playlist missions you wanted to try and stick together and keep them off of you before they could get close. The second GE was so far my favorite one as far as the modifier goes it made the game a lot of fun to play. But this one just wasn't fun. I didn't get home from work and get excited to play the game it became a chore.

    Yes you're right, sir. I deleted it to late (you got it before) in this sub That's the problem when you try to manage more open windows than you can handle

    With all the rest you wrote, I'm with you. I tried Lincoln a lot of times on challenging, but nothing as sliding npcs and no damage output from my side. I gave up on that.

    What's wrong with you? Blowing up 10-20 NPC's in 1 mag? You guys are boring, I'm not going to the playground with you guys..

    On a serious note: If THIS is what you complain about, then I dont feel sorry for you. This GE was a breeze, solo Lex in under 8 mins. ( i know players have done it it faster )

    If you struggleded with Lex challenging during this event, there something wrong with your build. I ran it too many times with my old non classified Predators mark and still did it in about 10mins.

    I didn't say it was hard, I said it wasn't fun. Two entirely different things. Was soloing Lex easy too but that didn't mean it was fun.

    The only enjoyable thing was taking down boss groups with one grenade. Kill the minions, boom,boom,boom,boom ,boom,boss dead.

    Lex was the only thing I did. Tried to maximize the GE credits and I can't match make EVER for the Incursions.

    It became very boring doing Lex over and over again. It was incredibly easy. I got with a group and ran through it in what seemed like 6 or 7 minutes (not timed, felt like it) and we must have done it 10 times in a row. No one downed and I doubt anyone popped a medkit. Enemies just melted. It was not what I would call fun though. It was like taking out the trash, not hard but it is a chore. I should have just told my son to do it like I do the trash!!! lol
