    Thinking of buying WONY...

    As title says, I'm thinking of buying WONY since I'm level 26 and wanting more after hearing that it also increases level cap to 40. Though, after reading and watching reviews of the expansion, a lot of them complained about the absurd bullet-spongeyness of enemies, forcing you to do some kind of cheese and keeping you in the same spot of long amounts of time. Has this been changed? This will most likely be my deciding factor of the game.

    Buy it, it's a good expansion, even though many would disagree i see it as how many hours played for the money spent.

    BUT the overall game as it stands right now at level 40 is not in a great place, well loot wise and some enemies damage, i.e hyena smg users and nades and molotovs.....basically adjustments.

    For me loot is the main problem, it's horrendous.

    The bullet sponge literally only applies to heroic and legendary(the top 2 difficulties) Everything else up until that point is fine.

    Honestly I'd probably wait for a sale. Judging by the rate the game is going, it won't be long before that happens. Or spend the 100 ubisoft points to get 20% off.

    With a decent build heroic is easy at present and they are just getting easier with all the changes coming so yeah, it’s money well spent.

    Go for it.

    Context needed. Citation needed.

    I made a thread about this, and I'm a little disappointed people are still saying this with such absolute vagueness. WHY is it easy? Because if you're in a group maybe that's true, because you have other people to carry you if your build or aim are bad. But if you solo there's no way that I'd consider heroic to be "easy" by any definition unless you're a basement dwelling super crackhead that plays 20 hours a day, and has 1000+ hours in WONY alone.

    You really need to provide more context than "with a decent build" it's "easy". That's incredibly misleading. Because I suspect that what you actually mean by a "decent" build actually means a fully optimized build with some god-rolls, a full recalibration library, and a number of exotics that need to be farmed, all in a group setting where there's team synergy.

    I just bought it today. Now at Level 34. Liking it thus far.
    However, I am concerned about my original gear. Seems those are all worthless now, and I simply need to get all new stuff.

    In a way, this is like buying The Division 3, and starting all over. Plus, I only have one character. So, now I have to finish the DLC - LOL

    I came back to play again because of WONY, and gear 2.0. So far, love it.

    Welcome to every expansion of every MMO style game ever.

    It won't take you long to get back up to speed, and it won't matter until you start getting towards heroic difficulty anyway.
