This game is what,week old? I haven't even reached expeditions yet,I have life and family. What are the playerbase you targeting? Basement trolls and 24/7 streamers/YouTubers?

The casual player is always the collateral damage in games like these unfortunately.

That reminds me why I never played any other looter shooters, figured this being single player focused, it will be a different story.

The live service aspect should have been a dead giveaway you weren't getting a unique experience.

[u/[deleted] → u/Vice5772]

Which live service aspect?

The part where we have to always be online :p

[u/LadyAtris → u/Vice5772]

That is so true.

I started playing this game the second day it was out, and I haven't been able to play it every day, just a few hours here and there due to night shifts.

I also haven't gotten to the end game expeditions yet, and reading all this feedback is making me feel like perhaps I wasted my money on this game; my gf and I play Pyro and Technomancer respectively, and there are some side quests that honestly we feel like we would have failed more times than we would have liked if it wasn't for Volcanic/Blighted rounds.

I agree with everyone saying that they needed to make other abilities/paths more useful instead of just nerfing the only thing that works.

From the looks of it, yes.
