    Massive PLZ! the grind for Hard Wire Set feels so unrewarding :/

    why do you force us to play the same mission over and over and pray to RNG Jesus that he'll drop the missing part?

    this grind is not fun, it's quite the opposite!

    it is frustrating which is bad because if i reach a certain level, i'll lose interest in TD2 and move on with a bad taste in my mouth.

    so please change it back to TD1 style where you got at least one set item out of a cache^^ but getting nothing for doing challenging bosses over and over again does not feel rewarding!

    this is a bad joke, is it?

    i did the missions for the last 2 parts over 20 times and got nothing!
    i'm convinced now that Massive has installed some kind of lockout that prevents the player from getting more than 2 set components per day. (or their beloved 24h cooldown)

    this is a very lame and frustrating way to slow down players progress!

    Look at this bright side. When you finally get all the components and the 10 tech and unlock those sought after blueprints.... the resources you need to make each part are:

    A component part (yeps, the M, C, etc) and 10 tech. All to craft gear that has "skill based talents" as it's main function. This actually makes the Pestilence LMG look half decent, lol!

    It's been posted already, but if you want to get the Hard Wired components, you need to do the missions in story mode. I did that, and got the component the first time in every mission.

    That may not work for you, but it certainly worked for me.

    I tried as well, and it didn't work for me.

    The problem I have is with Hard Wired Tech, the only place to get them after you've completed the Invaded World state and Bounties, are in the Occupied Dark Zone.

    I do not enjoy getting ganked for no apparent reason, and get penalized for it.

    Yes please. I can not tell you the amount of frustration I feel about this set. Finally got 3 backpacks and 2 holsters. Guess what all 5 of those pieces dropped at 470 or lower. So in other words entirely useless if you are trying to go for a specific build with specific stats. Then on top of the gear score being random the attributes are random as well so you better hope to God you get the piece you want. Or your stuck like me farming the same mission for 4 days and getting nothing.

    I honestly only see Hardwire only useful for if we ever get a Specialization that gets Shock Turrets and Shock Grenades.

    That 20% Shock stun will be great for PvE but we don't have any Shock Greande and no Shock Turret yet even though enemy NPCs have those themselves.

    Have a feeling that's what I'll be doing soon.
    Currently just trying to farm enough Hard Wired Tech to build the whole set.

    But the mask and backpack that I built is only GS462.
    The only silver lining that I got, was the chest piece was actually GS492 or something.

    Hopefully there'll be a patch soon. I can't stand going into Occupied and try to get HWT.
