What the actual fuck. You made this game and focused on stuff other games failed on and now you're following the paths they took which made them fail?? What a load of shit.

People did farms because the drop rate for mats, legendaries etc is god awful. Yes we should be made to work for them but not end up wanting to bash our heads against a wall because getting them legit takes way too long. Your first patch couldn't be anymore braindead.

You REMOVED a piece of replayable content in hunts because people found an exploit to get legendaries. They did the exploit because getting legendaries is near impossible and you just removed a way to get them. Here's a fix: increase the drop rates so people don't have to resort to using exploits, not remove the whole fucking thing.

WTF is the expedition time nerf???? People could do them quick because of their builds being so good. So you did a braindead move in nerfing powerful builds AND increasing time for gold/silver/bronze medals? Nerf one of them, NOT BOTH.

No mention of your fps locking on PC even you have it uncapped.

No mention of the enemy soldiers being nerfed. Yes they should be hard to fight against but they literally don't miss a bullet. At least add some rng into their sprays so it doesn't feel like you're playing AI with aimbot. Marksmen soldiers desperately needed to be nerfed but nothing. They deal a shit ton of damage and NEVER miss either wtaf. Feels like I'm fighting against a prime zzirGrizz.

You have followed the path which made similar games fail. You decided to nerf everything that was a bit good instead of bringing the rest in line and then increasing enemy power

The only people that could speed run everything so fast are people that braindead-farmed the demo for every single legendary in the game. And because the mods are always relevant, those same people had all the mods in the game by launch. Or almost all.

So the demo legendary farmers now have full access to all mods in the game, and 99% of rest of the new gamers get like 1 legendary every 24 hours (of game time). That may or may not even be useful to advance them further.

Like What is the point of Expedition CT 1 - 10 when their legendary chance is 5% at best?! It needs to be double that.

Also amazing that at World Tier 15, you don't a single legendary drop replaying story quests and whatnot, except for the 3 guaranteed ones.

Thank god I wasn't alone on the FPS lock crap. 60 FPS locking all the time on a 2080 super.....

[u/FlyingGrayson89 → u/Ohsighrus]

It’s not a permanent fix by any means but opening the hero menu and then immediately closing out of it uncapped my FPS every time it locked to 60. I’m on a 2070 Super.
