    A game bragging on End game, gets boring at end game?

    Something is very wrong with this game after wt4

    As soon as wt5 hits the reasons to play.. the reason to get drops and any reason to care is just turned upside down in a hurry

    I've loved this game and all a sudden at wt5 I'm thinking of starting another game again.

    My wt4 gear had better mods and talents than my wt5?

    Some of the wt5 content is just crazy vs the gear you can get . Go do some of the harder bounties and tell me how fun it is to be flicked off like a booger in one hit .

    And my final complaint is the rerunning of the missions multiple times for something as bad as the hardwired gear? You finally get the project done and to make it you have to redo the exact same **** again and hope RNG kicks in?

    Do you guys in these studios play games or read other forums ? Bungie has perfected the worthless grind for gear that doesn't matter or make you feel more powerful. Instead of making yourself stand out as better you seem to be gravitating towards the same mindless, worthless endgame we quit the other D2 because of.

    Great game and even with all it's issue was a solid 9/10 all the way up to wt4

    Wt5 is a 2/10 . Your balancing and reasons to play left the building at wt5

    After you do the hard wire grind all over again, you could get a bunch of rolls with no skill power on them, which means you can't use any skill mods with it, which means you once again, have to do the grind all over again, until you finally get lucky and get enough pieces with skill power rolls on them, so you can actually use some skill mods. It blows my freaking mind. No way the person who thought of this, actually plays the game. No freaking way.

    I honestly think the core team who made the game have moved over to a different project "The Division 3" and the team working on The Division 2 now, is just a live service team full of people who have never played the game. The game was almost perfect at launch. One of the best I've ever played but since the world tier 5 patch, it has been destroyed by so many mind boggling, terrible decisions. There is no way someone who actually plays the game, could make those decisions. They would know how stupid it would be to make those decisions. World tier 4 gear being better than world tier 5 gear. Nerfing everything. Gear sets being worthless. Hard wire grind. Exotics being pathetic. Skills being pathetic. Nerfing skill mods when skills were already pathetic. I could go on and on.

    Real end game isnt even released yet. Redoing missions and invasions is just grind for gear for the end game.

    Put it this way, if WoW end game was only dungeons and no raids, no one would play. The real endgame, the only end game, is raiding in division 2. They wont stop at 1 after they see how well it goes down with players, even if it is harder than the rock.

    I have to agree ... End game gets boring real fast after you have done everything once or twice and there is no better gear you can farm for. I mean, you can literally be just as geared and powerful from roaming the streets and clearing level 1 control points as someone that does every mission/bounty on on heroic difficulty and/or clears every CP on level 4 and/or spends hours in the DZ

    Honestly, it sounds like a casual's paradise designed for the type of person that's going to play this game a couple of hours per week, for maybe a month or two and never play it again. I guess if that's what Massive is going for, then mission accomplished. For anyone else looking for a reason to stay, there just isn't any after long.

    Figured I wasn't the only one wondering what the hell happened. I don't mind a grind but I need something to chase .

    To the guy that said raids are end game and this isn't . I ask you what the rewards would be for a raid ? Your already capped before the raid

    Things in a game called exotics.. sets etc. Shouldn't have less used than the random drop from a red bar outside of the safehouse..

    Time vs rewards .

    Agree, after all the hype about end game, there really isn't any yet. I can farm for 8 hours, get hundreds of drops, and they'll all be weaker than my existing gear, and because of how recalibration works, you cant really make them any better. They need to bring back something like the optimisation station. Where if I'm willing to farm incessantly for ages, I can use those parts, materials, and credits to turn an item into a masterpiece. I'm not saying make it easy or cheap, make it hard and expensive, lots of people would still do it. The comment above is correct, what if the raid showers you with yellow loot? We get that already in abundance. Once the novelty has worn off the raid, unless the mission and mechanics are amazing, we'll probably stop playing them. We need a reward system that gives meaning to playing the hardest cotent in the game.

    I'm guessing he devs. have been very careful not to release any overpowered gear/sets at the beginning. Instead of fixing the game balance with nerfing, we are getting buff up this time.
    The cost is lack of shocking excitement. Things will change over time I am certain.

    Sorry but 5 whole years of bungie telling me they are listening and it will get better has soured me of having wait and see in me

    These companies need to release a full and complete idea of a game concept..it's getting old that we spend millions to be told to wait.

    Games are lazy and void of a true story and idea all a sudden..just like the real world. They do less and it costs more and they lable it progress

    Anthem died in a week. Something better change here or this will be one of the best games even to only last a month .

    People aren't gonna pretend to wait. They will just go elsewhere. That's fine they got their cash
