    Outbreak = worst event.

    We had a GE two weeks ago. Again, we have another. I like the base game. Events like this one make me like it less.

    I won't be playing for a week because I don't like events that discourage fighting enemies up close. More importantly, TD is a great game. We don't need variations on playstyles every two weeks.

    I doubt they tested this properly either. When playing Napalm Production Site (one of the GE Event Missions), you immediately start taking Contamination damage upon getting off the elevator that brings you to Joe Ferro because the enemies are already spawned in on the floor directly above you.

    I wasn’t ready for that my first time through, and died as soon as the section loaded. When I respawned, I had to sprint out of the elevator and down the hall, and was down to 1/3 health before I was free of the Contamination.

    @FaintPulse ,

    What is it about Outbreak, or any other GE, that makes you want to stop playing? What exactly are you not enjoying?
    I'm interested to see what you think.

    Choosing the weakest modifier on the 5 delegated GE missions/incursion or any other non- delegated GE missions/incursions , allows you to still fight @ close range.

    Well cant agree with op.

    I like the modifiers very very much. This is the first ge I am looking at the commendations to achieve and getting tgem done (I just learnt to open dossier yesterday night lol)

    Already got 500 headshot kills, the chemist mask for 170 shotgun headshot kills, 47 cleaner bosses killed. All in say 4 hours max. You should enjoy the challenges buddy. I like it very much feels great.

    Thanks and regards

    You can still play the base game as normal, but with just headshot damage. I play D3 generally and while if using the Severe outbreak, it can be bad if you are close to a team mate but it can also be an advantage. For instance, in Napalm on Legendary, you can clear the last part of the outside wave consistently with 2 people; something I can't do very often normally.

    GE's are meant to kind of shake up the base game a bit. Though I thought the GE's were going to be more unique and not repeat so many times, I really like them. Now, I have all the gear sets and really everything else but I still play a lot during the GE's because it is different. Also, it is a great way to get Div Tech; something that is in short supply through most areas I go.

    My guess is that the GEs boost player numbers and so the GEs keep coming, because what else could they do to bring players back?

    I don't like any of the GEs, the last 2 of the 6 were better than the rest but still a farcry from what a GE should be.
    They nailed the rewards (Classified gear) for the GE, but at least for me, they didn't nail the fun.

    If you want to fight enemies up close, why not hop into the DZ ?

    By the way, there's two GE events this month so it looks like you'll have a longer vacation from the game.

    P.S. you say you don't like this GE because you can't fight up close but, this GE DOES encourage up close fighting. You can't get some of the commendations unless you DO shoot the npcs up close.
