    Welcome back to Division 1.3

    Hey guys, Division 1.3 almost killed the game once.

    This is a "chore" and feels like "work" to kill anything in challenging/heroic and I don't even feel like working on legendary right now. I'm one of your most hardcore players in division, and have been playing this game series for over 4 years now.

    Please.... this isn't fun at higher difficulty. And after a week or so, and everyone gets to lvl 40 and starts to play the open world, you're going to hear about it more and more. The Division discords are full of people frustrated by the sponge NPCs that auto-aim you from a block away as soon as you peek cover.

    This wasn't fun 3.5 years ago, and it's not going to be fun now. Your spongy NPCs just roll around and run around and makes it infuriating to kill on console.

    i try mission on challenge and after 30 min later i find i PVE is overscale and have lower drop rate loot that CP farm or DZ. Heroic or Legendary missions is wasting time because loot is low and npc is immortal.

    Massive why are you messing with me i grind and grind and still don't get any exotics the drops are pathetic loot is disgraceful i get rubbish gear no wonder i cant kill the bullet sponge npc's with full auto aim and they are really strong how am I supposed to improve my gear when i just get trash nothing fair at all about this update you make the AI stronger and i'm a lot weaker come on massive you should be ashamed of your selves saying this is all fair.

    been grinding this expansion Since it came out all i get is purple garbage' all they say on here is build you're gear well that's virtually impossible when all they drop is rubbish it seems to me is that massive has there favourites and drop the good gear for those who do all this streaming and give the rest of us the rubbish, make this fair massive get rid of the AI auto aim bots we cant use them so you should not use them either oh and I have never know a shotgun can kill you when you are half a mile away cause that's what happening lol.

    Most stupid thing is when NPCs running and shooting you to the face, and running and running and shooting, running from the corner to the corner, shooting, running shooting.

    wtf?

    No tactic, no fear. Yes, you have 700k armor and they have 70M. This is really bad and same at challenge, legendary, heroic, hard. Same scripts like after game release 1y ago. WHY???

    I'm disgusted, absolutely no fun and today I've left so many matches in the middle because depression from the stupidity of the game mechanics and scripts starting to be too much. Too much.

    + Bugs. 75% of switching weapon, weapon is switched in popup menu but not picked, you need to scroll down twice. Still getting hits in the cover from nowhere. Unable to donate to community leaders on CP, ....

    Turning enemies into bullet sponges is the dumbest and laziest way of increasing game difficulty, but then again this is massive. Remember how they said they've learned from their mistakes while revealing the game? Fun times.

    I don't think all enemies.. but there are certain ones that just eat bullets and smile... I'm looking at you Nail gun tank and other elites are super tanky.

    It's been a mixed bag for me... I think some enemies are missing a decimal point or something.

    But it's gotten better as my build has progressed.

    Enemies pretty sponge when it’s just one person shooting at them but funny enough not when multiple players are shooting the same target

    Plus I like the sponge ! Longer fights more time for something to go wrong games been dead boringly easy ever since the first nerf to npc not long after launch

    But let’s face it npc ain’t even that sponge at all maybe if your solo but yeah your solo what you expect

    Ubi finally moving away from the generic shooter division unintentionally became and more towards what it’s meant to be

    You know you can always run these missions on normal or hard and lazer everything like before you just won’t get as good loot which by looks of it isn’t much different between normal and heroic any way so what’s the problem ? Games changed ... accept it play it or don’t and go play ghost recon for your lazer gun simulator needs

    Honestly I'm not even really enjoying story mode. It's not particularly hard, it just feels sort of tedious with the overly tanky enemies/insane damage sniper boys and getting caught on fire every 10s. I can clear stuff without dying much if at all, but it's more frustrating than fun. I'm lvl 40 with all lvl 40 gear (thanks to crafting and the clan vendor), but I still have one mission and keener to do,

    I've just not felt the desire to finish it up. I login, putz around for a bit doing some open world stuff, and then log off when all I've gotten after 40min is a handful of crappy purples with the odd yellow that somehow manages to be a shotgun or painfully low rolled armor piece.
