    Thank you for the gear update

    Not sarcasm. Also, this is entirely about the gear update and not the expansion.

    Now everyone has to rebuild with new gear. You lose your good rolls that most people didn't have. I'm cool with that.

    I'm honestly glad the gear changed the way it did. It makes the game more challenging and you can't be good at everything. There is sacrifice involved now as there should have always been.

    I'm also happy about fighting other people that just happened to have better rolls than I did. The pvp is on a more even field than before. I threw a couple builds together and stomped teams because they had their God rolls as a crutch and now they're gone.

    Another thing to be happy about is the inadvertent and indirect nerf to booster hive. It doesn't really do much unless you are a skill build which is also pretty much halted the dancing around people have been doing.

    I know some people will be upset with these changes, but I think it will mostly be the people that were taking advantage of how broken the gear was. I farmed just as much as the next guy if not moreso and I still didn't have the best stuff and it sucks going into anything having spent so much time to still be weaker than you should be.

    However, my only complaint is regarding PVP. When going into pvp the stats change so much it is hard to say what is actually good or not. From what I can tell though, assault rifles have a clear advantage because the old PVP normalization values are still in place. So AR's don't really take as much of a hit as the other weapons.

    Overall though, very satisfied with the gear update.

    P.S. You guys finally, FINALLY put Shotgun damage on the first bonus just as I had suggested many times months ago. Even though you totally screwed over every non double barrel shotgun in pvp, still.

    Wow. Shotguns are on top. Solid argument.

    This game sucks now. There are better action games, better rpgs, and better PvP games.

    The Division 2 does nothing better than anyone now. Complete garbage.

    It's a reset, and from what I saw (so far) it's fundamental better structured.

    Preventive, I bought the game at his release and I played the original for a long time.

    We get it, you don't like the changes but is there any need to keep repeating yourself?

    It's quite simple, just go and play something else.

    I am.

    So, if you buy something from Best Buy that's garbage do you just go buy something else?

    We were lied to and flat out scammed. There was no reason to have 2 libraries, no reason to not properly convert our gear, and no reason whatsoever to lie about it.

    This expansion is a joke. This is how The Division 2 would look like if you tried to get Fortnite kids to play it.

    People like you are exactly why the Destiny community is limping along barely on life support. Telling people with grievances to just leave the game will cause them to *gasp* leave the game. And if you keep making people leave faster than they come well.... enjoy your matchmaking issues next month when the release hype dies down.

    If i buy something that is rubbish it's my fault for not doing my research on the item.

    As for lies? it has been very clear for quite sometime what they are changing to the game, been plenty of SoTG's explaining it so where you get the lies side of things is beyond me.

    Maybe you just simply don't do your research and that's why you don't like what you see and buy.

    p.s As you say "I am" does that mean this will be the last time we hear a complaint from you, it's very tedious.
