Observations on the state of the game by a vet player (Non WoNY) base game.
I've played the div 1 and 2 since launch day. After this expac i feel like some things are broken.
First the gear is now dropping in sub 500 scores where before it was very rare, at least for me to get a sub 500 piece of gear, maybe a 499, but now i've seen purple 460~ gear drop, this is frustrating when you have to spend 1h on a Challenging mission to come out with 2 or 3 sub 515 and the rest is purple trash, btw im at 515 gear score.
Second the whole system of damage vs armor vs skill. This whole system Assumes that you will be matched up with Competent players running Competent builds in order to work, which we all know doesn't work.
Third, Scarcity of gear now, i noticed they lowered the amount of gear were getting from missions now, and it might be my luck but i also noticed a reduced drop rate from mobs as well.
Fourth, the lack of damage or increase in armor of Heavy elites is horrible, all it does is stop the flow of battle.
Fifth, the clear balance issue in the damage the npcs do to players now coupled with the great tactics they use means that my previous point about random players and their skill level when doing things in higher difficulties is even more exemplified in this patch, which will create frustration in the game, something that should be avoided.
Thanks for reading, i'm sure there are more things out there but these are my biggest concerns.
