    Just finished the Summit, here is my feedback

    Hello everyone.

    I was really excited for this mode for basically 2 reasons, replay-ability and legendary loot.
    It sound really cool, to climb up to the top, fight different factions and get showers of loot.



    Here are my points.

    The music is amazing I love the usage of the different sound tracks. This was basically the only reason why the journey was not as boring as it could be. BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOT, DO NOT USE THE ROGUE AGENT MUSIC RANDOMLY! WTF?!?

    The last boss is a total joke. Unkillable bullet sponges, that needed only 2 shots to take me down through the wall. Yes I did not take them down, but still got the completion. While Hunters were and are an interesting and enjoyable encounter in the original game, they are the definition of unfair in this product. I do not understand how anyone can enjoy them in the current state.

    A replay-able mode requires some sort of reward. The cosmetics do not interest me and there is no loot. 2 already open chests every 10 floors and no drops from the bosses. Additionally, basically no drops from random enemies. From floor 40 to 50 I got 4 drops. The other floor segments were equally disheartening. The highest amount was 9 on 70 to 80. I am disappointed that in the current state, open world is still more efficient. Sure, it is another source of targeted loot, but what is the point if the time investment is wasted?

    I personally do not like to be forced to play with directives. It adds some spice in to the gameplay-loop, but I would prefer an option to turn them on optionally and reduce the amount of floors. Maybe make some encounters/rooms more creative?

    That leads me to the repetitive gameplay. The only interesting objective is the "hacked Warhound". (it is kinda stupid when BT have them, but it fits the writing style of Div2)
    Every other one felt exactly the same, enter a room, clean it up, do the thing (jammer or shd cache), proceed, repeat.
    Different factions did not make any difference. With the visually tiring rooms and the same gameplay-loop I even zoned completely out.

    My main issue however, are bullet sponges. Every Veteran and Elite on Heroic and Legendary is a bullet sponge that deals an absurd amount of damage.
    I am aware that the devs and most active players equalize sponginess with difficulty for some reason, so I do not expect a change. However, considering how much it influenced my experience in a negative way, it is worth mentioning.
    This, combined with random spawn points and the huge amount of enemies let to really frustrating wipes.


    Overall, I did not like it and will treat like Kenlys college,
    Get the exotic then avoid it like the plague.

    This is just my opinion, so do not let my view on it ruin your experience.
    Thanks for reading, have a nice day.

    So, you upload a photo saying you passed the 100th floor, but then you complain about the damage from the elite enemies? I don't think you passed it, because in the 100 floors at no time did I feel that I received so much damage ... in fact it was too easy in general. Mention aside the bosses at the end, I think this was done on purpose so as not to spoil anyone, which I think is fair and correct. It's easy to get to that coverage and take a photo, actually I did it without a hitch, but I don't think anyone can beat it at PTS. It's not broken or anything. It is made like this, so that later we can enjoy it in the game.

    Obviously it is impossible to kill the last boss solo and I am honest about it. Despite getting shot to pieces, I got my completion and I do not have to prove anything to anyone.
    It is my feedback of the mode. If you disagree or do not believe me, make your own thread how much you like it.

    Additionally your logic is extremely flawed. Just because I beat it I am not allowed to criticize the sponginess and other issues?

    I agree with you Passan Cat in many points...but i think it is not only the reward, what makes a content replayable but also how it feels to play.. i havn't make it yet to lvl 100, because after one hour of playing, i was so ******g bored. the rooms feel like its all the same kind of randomized garbage and only 4 objectives changing from floor to floor, sometimes three times the same objective. in TD1 i was playing so many ******g times Underground, and even more times i guess, survival. For me it was mostly not for the loot espacially survival, it was because i loved the mode it was always a bit different - ok you had your best loot routs and so on, but it was always a new experience. I was thinking as i heard from the idea of the summit, yeah cool could be fun. but now i am disappointed. If the summit is not totally changing, i will come to the same outcome like you, play it one time just to have it done and then avoid it like a visit from mother-in-law. ;-)
