Thanks again for all your replies.
For me, I enjoyed this game a lot until the Gear Score became important. Then I just got massively discouraged and havent wanted to play much since. It's a shame, because I may never finish this game now.
I have been running around for HOURS trying to find higher level loot, and failing.
I wish it was much clearer what to do and what to get to raise the GS, just like there is an arrow that leads you towards an objective marked on your map.
In my opinion, gear score has ruined this game.
Gear score is not to blame it is peoples tendency to want everything now like right now, the game is a looter shooter there are guides as to how to get geared up fast, and even a discord community all you would need to do is ask nicely on there and 2 or 3 guys can invite you to a group do random tier 5 bounties with you and drop items they do not need and boom you are up there in gear score if the grind is to boring that is or hard to do because one or two items tend to not drop so you are stuck, however that is just an option or if you have friends who enjoy the game join their game and do stuff with them and or hang back a bit while they kill the mobs.Originally Posted by Magnet_Homewood Go to original post
What platform are you on? Someone can group with you and share the loot they pick up. If it's PC, send me a friend request on uplay. Happy to run a mission or two to help out.Originally Posted by Magnet_Homewood Go to original post
The OP figured out their original problem (pistol with a lower GS). It looks like they're now trying to grind out gear with a high enough gear score to meet the requirement for the next stronghold.Originally Posted by distrust74 Go to original post
I'm stuck at GS 499. The armor vest I have is 495 and no way Im giving it up until I get slightly better Hard Wire set. Probably will just wait for the expansion and re-plan everything from scratch.
I'm currently having issues crafting the Holster - Wyvern Wear. The Craft table says it should produce 2 Utility slots but I never get any. I keep wasting those elements and not sure what to do. I posted on the PC Issue topic folder about this
Few weeks ago I was like 350 GS and was in party and someone hooked me up real good. At some point I got a armor vest that was GS 500 but then later found a kick *** vest that boosted my Armor like 100k but now stuck with it and it's a GS 495. I already built around Vest and Holster and have the 4-piece Hard Wired Set but my stats are super screwed up.Originally Posted by SneakyofSneaks Go to original post
Currently I'm stuck at GS 499 and my Skill Power is super over powered trying to tweak stuff on Calibration station.
Have you progressed in world tiers?Originally Posted by Joker52555 Go to original post
