    Dz junk

    Trying to find a reason to keep playing , as the loot is so bad ..

    So as i had never been in the DZ for a LONG time , i thought i would give it a go in hope of better rewards , Man was i WRONG ..

    Cleared control points , ran about opened chests etc , and i never even bothered to try and extract , Why would i all items were junk..

    What ever happened to higher risk higher rewards ..?.

    Looks like the game is never going to change , all weapon mods , gear mods etc are set about the same , all junk between 10% and around 55% .. WHERE is the good mods ? are they actually in the loot pool ?..

    As for the gear it never changes ,, While i have a few good builds i do not think you can ever max them, the mods are just to bad .. and with the amount of gear sets available it is getting harder to get the ones you want..

    The loot drops have dropped big time , some missions you only get loot at end boss rest is ammo ?.. so how can they call this a looter shooter ?, it is a shooter with a little touch of loot ...

    WHAT is there to play for now ?. mods are the same old junk, loot is not worth the hassle . and DZ has gotten so bad it is not worth farming ?.

    I always thought the game would get better , but it has never really changed ..

    Play higher difficulty? Quantity dropped, but quality increased. DZ is only useful for the named items now, you're better off farming Heroic or Legendary for normal gear.

    Had a full gRoll Fenris chest drop Legendary Roosevelt yesterday, plus half a dozen other pieces with two gRoll, so I could roll them gRoll if they worked for a build.

    Heroic I usually get 2+ items that drop with 2 gRoll, and a couple more <5% off.

    Or are you one of those forum members that says loot sucks because it can take time to get a very, very, very specific piece to drop?

    It's made that you'll never get better - NEVER, I'm surprised some people haven't figured it out yet.

    Umm, the DZ doesn't let you pick the difficulty. Well, at least I think so. In any event, I went into the DZ with my world set at heroic yesterday. Like hyper, I was deeply disappointed with the drops. I did landmarks across all ranges of difficulty. Yet the things that dropped were on the same level as what would drop in the open world if you are playing on "hard". I picked up and extracted anyways, as I was also there because I was bored. But out of about a dozen things looted and extracted, none had stats anywhere near max.

    When DZ used to drop Heroic level loot it was a lucrative farming place that had high risk vs reward. Now it's just troll haven that has some decent named items locked behind it.

    Right, higher difficulty in the LZ.. again, DZ is only for named items at this point.

    DZ is set to Challenging, loot wise.

    Yep, DZ loot only being challenging quality means it all gets turned into DZ resources for the next time a decent item shows up at a vendor. Yaahl mats can be useful if you're trying to put together a max HZP build, though it takes a long time to accumulate enough to craft anything.

    I had Imperial Dynasty drop yesterday, that was a surprise. Other than that, it is something like 1 in 200 pieces that is worth while. I got equal or better loot from a Heroic Check Point on the same day, minus the exotic.

    I always run challenging , I ran heroic for a while but the bullet sponges just makes for a boring game , nothing worse than mag after mag to kill a npc .

    I always run solo ., and i never run raids . Maybe this is where i am loosing loot ?..but raids is not my thing..

    The point is , running about all day and collecting the same old junk, Running heroic control points in LZ and getting the same old junk i would get running normal , ?. Played this game from release and never had a god roll mod ?. all are set at the same % give or take a point or 2 ..

    Not looking for specific gear pieces , but it would be nice to see a good gear mod .. tried crafting gear mods and weapon modes and the same old junk roll after roll , it is just a time waster ..

    We really need something to make the game worth playing ?. Something to add the missing spark that we lost a couple of TU,s ago ... They killed any farming in the DZ , and that is what kept a lot of us playing , it was good to farm the DZ get some gear worth the extract , and then the waiting for the chopper to see ig you would get hi jacked , they have lost this and i think the game needs it now more than ever...

    gRoll mods are likely the rarest thing in this game, as best I can tell. I'm SHD 600, and I think I have three or four? One max CD, two max Duration, and one max Disrupt?

    I felt the same way going from Challenging to Heroic initially, but once your gear improves, the balance almost returns [except Chunga]. I'm a few percentage points off a full gRoll load out, and now only find any sponginess with Elites/Named. Once I Max my watch, I'm guessing Heroic will feel like challenging did a few hundred SHD ago.

    That said, I wish they'd bump the loot quality in the DZ back up to Heroic, like it used to be. I'd go in there more if that was the case. I wouldn't mind if TU12 brought some version of Survival to TD2 either ...
