I agree.
I went back to The Division after doing all I could in BL3 and managed to get through the 5 WT's and am now in NY at level 35, so far. I need to get as much done as possible before the wedding DLC comes out for BL3. I'm having a hell of a good time. NY is definitely challenging, but I like that.
I was in the barge area last night fighting the AI that use fire, think they're Rikers, but I can't remember. I don't remember the enemy AI rushing as much in DC as they do in NY. I was on my heels for the entirety of that mission and by the end my poor heart was racing!!!
I play on Xbox and the only thing that has plagued me is the game will boot me back to the dashboard at the most inopportune time, twice now in the last 8-9 days.
I love messing with different builds atm trying out status effect build with firewall and combustion launcher having fun with that, and did full headshot sniper build also quite fun and able to survive quite well, and finally spotter is useful again.
I also made a thank you for massive on the feedback forum because of this whole attack calling them all sorts of things because they took away the cookie cutter builds and changed gear system.
I am having a blast with the game again before it was just rinse repeat and face tanking was not a problem now good luck facetanking most enemies with out a shield.
I agree. Now that I am getting the hang of Gear 2.0 the game is progressing much better for me.
I jumped into a group doing bounties the other day. We were getting wiped every few minutes. Each member paused outside of the gate and adjusted their gear and we went back to it. None of us were mic'd. We just sorted it out and kept blazing. We went down again and again, but just kept adjusting until each player came up with something that worked. It was really hard and really fun. I didn't realize until a Project Completion notification came up that I had jumped into a group doing bounties on Challenging. It was pretty awesome.
So, yeah, thank you Ubisoft and Massive. Don't give up. Keep up the hard work.
