Division 2 got boring fast
I spent the last few weeks exclusively farming for gear that has high attributes for the upcoming patch. 99% of the stuff I got was sold/scrapped.
I have a 450 gear score chest piece that has 21.5% headshot damage. In 100+ hours of farming, the next best piece I got for head shot damage was 18% on a 500 GS item.
Same is true for all weapon damage. I have a GS 465 chest piece that does 15%. Everything I pick up now doesn't exceed 11%.
Armor drops continue to have awful rolls where 2 recalibrations would be needed to make it serviceable, same with backpacks.
Bezerker is about to get nerfed big time, so is strained and a whole bunch of other talents that make any build viable. I tried playing on a vanilla build that wouldn't get nerfed. It was so tedious and boring I'm ready to start playing something else.
Congratulations to the developers for screwing up a game with huge potential. The gear, recalibration and optimization in D1 was perfect the way it was designed. Rather than expand on that, you've created a boring game with limited builds that are going to get nerfed.
What's the logic here? Do you want players dumping mag after mag into wave after wave of the same predictable enemies and call that entertainment? It's masturbation without the payoff. D1 might have had OP classified gear sets but at least it changed the way the game was played and made it challenging and rewarding to master each playstyle. You beat OP builds by creating more OP builds, not nerfing anything that could be OP into the boring mess the game has become.
PvP is a disgusting mess. It's a chicken dancing and numbers game. Tactics don't really matter when all a team has to do is turn around and start shooting at you in greater numbers even though you got the drop on them, or run around and chicken dance with each other like a bunch of morons.
There's a reason why PvP is so stagnant and hated in this game. I tried conflict and it takes about half as long to matchmake as it does to play the match itself. Can't imagine it'll get better anytime soon when good gear is non-existent and the game becoming more mundane with all the limitations in gear modification and builds.
