    game is worse than ever ...

    Stopped playing a while back with over 1980 hours of play the game bugs got so bad with crashes to desktop and bad balance etc .. So after a while away i thought i would give it another go, lol BIG mistake ,I can see they have never listened to the players.. and it is still a game with no balance for solo players and to easy for groups . Oh well my dream of spending another 1000 plus hours are gone forever . will leave it to the cheaters , and wait for the next one in hope of something better... RIP division 2 it was fun while it lasted.. just a shame the devs did not follow through ..

    Sorry to hear, but probably it's for the best. FWIW, I play solo plenty. I won't argue that there are many ways that co-op play is rewarded, so much that it is fair to say solo players are disadvantaged.

    But I am not going to say the typical "git gud" or "plays a game designed as co-op, plays it solo, and gripes".

    Why? Because just because I can play it with my build and playstyle, that doesn't mean others can -- and it isn't necessarily a "git gud" issue.

    I presume by the username, that you prefer to play as a sniper. Unfortunately, while this game started out being a game that was great to play as a sniper, that got killed along the way. If one has no interest in other builds or playstyles, then I can certainly see this game being "over". I myself was about to put teh game down and decided "maybe I should try playing with the newer build items".

    I am glad I did because it breathed a lot of new air into this deflated game. But, the new stuff I am talking about revolve around very short range combat and shotgun -- the scorpio to be precise. While it does have a little bit of range, it is not really a stand off combat weapon.

    So I would urge to consider playing the game quite differently, but that is really your choice to make.

    What they did to sniper builds in this game should be illegal. When you sacrifice extremely slow fire rate,, what you get in return should be extreme damage -- especially if it is a head shot.. But when the released WONY, they basically increased the enemy armor and did not re-balance sniper. The end result is, the NPCs can take too much damage that you can't possibly gain control over encounters.

    It is particularly laughable when a fully charged nemesis headshot lands square in the forehead of a non-helmeted NPC and they don't even get stunned.

    lol game was sold as solo and multiplayer , it has nothing to do with co op , my builds are good and i really enjoyed the game till they messed it up , game worked great then they added the dlc and broke it.. Then they decided it would be a great idea to try and lure players to play in the raids , good for them that like it.. and then it came all about raids , and the base game never got looked at after that , The devs killed the game the cheaters moved in and they did nothing about it, . When they did it was to late .. Yes i like sniper games but this is not a sniper game , this is a looter shooter and this is why i loved it so much , but they crapped on the loot and killed the builds, . The biggest problem is that they have no progression , you get to a point that upgrades make you feel weaker as the npc upgrade more than you do.. they lost the balance .they lost the builds to bugs and they never really fixed them. bullet sponges is not the way forward, let the player feel the power they have collected, spending weeks finding good gear just to be nerfed the week after is not fun and it is not balance..

    There are a few good points, i.e. sniper rifles being pretty much useless. Also, I agree raids are stupid from a gameplay mechanic perspective, and exacerbate frustration with exclusives (only reason the majority of players try the raid). PVP is pretty much dead in the water due to cheating issues that appear unaddressed and of no interest for the devs (or whom ever holds the wheel on this). I even get it - why spend money on that when the revenue stream is thin...

    Despite the above, there is still a lot of fun to be had, PVE, co-op, even DZ if you stay away from the ones that are plagued by cheaters from time to time.
    I'm still having fun with TD1...

    Your telling me its getting bad.. Every F'ing time I go to see cassie the gun runner.. "Vender is Empty"..... I restart the game same ****..

    Dark Zones I cannot explain it but when am running its like am getting stuck on stuff on the ground for a second.. (Lag most likely).

    Gearing system is utterly awful. Red blue yellow.. rolls pretty much all the time. "Providence" Red Yellow Yellow.. ( Makes no sence). I would understand it if the rolls where low forcing you to use the optimaztion station,,,

    It seems to me like the whole game is a total time waster. (Gun play and leveling up and doing missions with others is GOOD fun). But its that same Ubisoft ****ty "REPEAT REPEAT". all the time..

    I have only played for 250hours which is nothing compared to alot of people I seen in DZ.. with 3k + hours etc.. But this is what I have seen so far.

    While I have a pretty extreme dislike for the raids in TD2, the game is not "all about raids".

    Build diversity is at an alltime high. Yes, the old builds that used a bunch of stacked holstered/passive talents were removed. But the number of builds in WONY that can perform at the highest level of content are very high. Balance between those builds is at a point now where you can LITERALLY play almost whatever you want in any content with any group. Legendary is the only exception, but even there you can play a wide variety of playstyles and builds.

    Nothing has been nerfed or even changed in months. What are you talking about?

    Honestly it sounds more like you just beat the game and had nothing left to do.

    ... there is always THAT solution for the people that really hate where the game is now - play something else, something "better".
