    quit being so stingy with the resources.... gees.

    Come on Massive what is your problem that you are so adverse to us getting things in this game? Is this not supposed to be a looter shooter? we have been squeezing out things little by little and it seems like we are trying to birth a baby here just getting the slightest progress from you guys. we waiting and *****ed forever to finally get the optimization station, then the mats were so ridiculously high it was absurd.... then we STILL have a horrible system in place. I got to level 100 on the season, got to watch level almost 300 now, and I have yet to be able to get one single piece of gear fully optimized for lack of something. First there are a TON of different mats... WAY WAY too many thing sot keep up with. Then we have to beg to get blueprints for creating mats..... I have a lot of those but missing some strategic ones which I am sure is by your evil designs.

    I have done so many solo level 4 control points I cant possibly count them all and still lack mats and blueprints. Getting SHD calibration is totally absurd. Takes forever to get just one mat and you need a ton of those. the cost of crafting them is insane still and so here we sit. I have so much more time in D2 than 1 and still not getting to get some different gear sets. Look, for once and for all, I have a killer setup that can handle what I need for the most part playing solo on Heroic so I am not looking to get some superman set up. I simply want to create a few different styles of kit and try them out in the open world. Since you are hell bent on giving us gear that always needs some kind of changes and optimization we are forced to play this insane game of grinding forever and ever just for table scraps. Why are you making this so difficult? Why cant you understand what players want? Do you think that making things so hard to get that people will play more? Do you not understand that it actually does the opposite and juts frustrates folks who then just move on tp other more polished games?

    Now I am done complaining because this subject has come up over, and over, and over again here with no changes from the dev team but I am making one last plea to FIX the gear issue. This took a while but D1 was actually decent there in the end and now we have this convoluted mess of optimization that is so absurd its almost laughable. Here we have a game with a ton of different gear combination and yet its like we will show you all the food on the table..... but you cant have any..... just a crumb here and there..... goodness this is so frustrating.

    Once you got to 1000 SHD level, every level up you can buy SHD recal res.
    It will make everything much easier.
    Plus, you can craft everything else easy.

    The point of the optimisation is NOT to CREATE gear. But to TUNE it.
    If you have 80%+ rolls there won't be any problem with resources. But 30+ and so on - will be. And that is not the point of Looting.

    To be clear and easy.
    You loot gear up to Heroic difficulty. Than you search for almost god roll gear (which is not that difficult, btw). After that, you tune it.
    In THAT order. And only that.

    While I appreciate your frustration, the devs did reduce the materials needed by 75%, so they are listening. Personally, when the optimization table dropped it took a couple of weeks to get my first optimization. Since the reduction in needed materials I have optimized numerous pieces. At SHD 300 you are really in the early part of character advancement and wouldn't have maxed builds anyway. Once you reach SHD 1000 the maxing really starts because all of the possible SHD attributes should be maxed and your agent is at the top of their game.

    I highly recommend joining a clan, or at least finding a few other people to play with - more enemies=more loot, and the game is better with friends. Also, if your only reason for playing is to optimize all of your builds as fast as possible then you are just going to be angry all of the time. Why play a game that makes you angry? Have patience. You will get there.

    Not sure if your surious.....

    I am about the same just over 300 SHD and I usually only run challenging, or level 3cp and I have many pieces god rolled. One complete build plus some other pieces. Mats are very easy to come by especially with the cost in optimization dropped.

    One trick with those harder to get mats is to level a new character from 30 to 40. You will get to spend all that SHD as they are shared and as long as you by the mat share thingy all your characters will have use of them.

    While I appreciate your explanation the dev's 75% reduction was originally because of a huge over site. It was & still is to a large degree like a job or definitely well immersed into gathering materials etc. 75% is large but its still a bit light in comparison. I am at 140 SHD now so if 1000 supposedly reaches a tuning state - an overhaul is out of the question -
    Oh let me add to that game malfunctions & crashes. Last night I gave up, trying to finish anything without crashing was futile.

    Turn off ANY overlay features (except Ubi connect).
    As for Mats.... The Optimisation station was introduced in the end of previous life cycle. For people, who have played a lot already. So 1000 SHD level - is a minimum if you to complain about CURRENT nerfed cost.

    I don't get it. You want to have everything in a week. What the point of playing then? PvP? You can do it without needing to optimise those 0.5% weapon damage. PvE? Seems like you don't want it since you are whining. So what's the point?

    It is what you make it. This just may not be the game for you. You definitely don't need 1000SHD to farm mats successfully.

    As far as the crashes go, they are working on it. Plus there are some things you can do to improve it if you do a bit of research. I see one suggestion in this thread, many more in other threads.

    I've played since shortly after release. A short while back I bought the NY expansion & just got my third character thru NY. I've been playing on hard with two directives. No interest in PVE & NO to the in a week comment. With what I have & what I need to play more comfortable at higher a level its going to be a long while. I've resided to that & I don't get why some think lesser of a player especially as a game nears its end. Give it a rest, they're just milking it for what its worth.

    The only overlay was Ubisoft connect - Enable in game overlay for supported games. I unchecked it like I did before with no difference. It comes & goes, sometimes its fine - other times its not. Only once did I get a OOPS YOU Crashed from Ubisoft asking for permission on a report. Usually its a complete shutdown & restart. I've been thru BIOS - windows updates & settings - drivers - error checking etc. Just have to live thru it

    It may not be the game for me. I suspect the most likely reason
    even after playing all this time is knowledge of how things work.
    Farming successfully is going very slow. One character needs
    a lot of work, actually they all need help. Some I just used the upgrade
    bench because I am way to short to optimize.
    Every time I look I'm always short on items. It is what it is, I just live with it
    until I don't. My opinion of UBI/Massive; like quite a few players is at an all time low.

    Couldn't agree more, I'm only at 245 SHD score and I have a few god rolled exotics and gear pieces thanks to optimization, they only needed to be topped up as I call it. I had one exotic weapon that had fairly ordinary specs so I used the upgrade blue print to improve it a lot and then optimized it to max stats. I check every piece of gear I collect, god rolled is a keeper and anything with a max stat I look at it to see if I need to extract it for my re-calibration library or if I can re-calibrate/optimize it.
