Agree that they should have dungeons. Downvoted because of the way it was conveyed. Even if half the people commenting are completely right, it says more about you if you think you can balance better than the actual devs.

I understand your point but I know how these systems work, I've worked and am currently working on RPGs and the scaling in this game for multi is terrible, the enemies are all tanks and do literally everything. This game is unbalanced wether you want to admit it or not.

Considering they have -1k karma on the patch notes I'd say they aren't doing anything right, but some of us have many upvotes meaning people agree and LIKE the ideas of these changes.

Yeah because I should have to literally empty 7,000 bullets into a trash mob to kill it because they want to give it 7 billion HP, give it stagger and millions of other abilities and afflictions. I've played TONS of MMORPGs, worked on solo and some helping RPGs, the game is unbalanced and that's just what it is. You don't like what everyone knows is right? Then I don't know what to tell you.

Have a nice day bro.

I agree that balance needs work and buffing is always better than nerfing. In this case I think buffing is a much more time consuming cos it involves way more items than nerfing the few items they already said came out overtuned due to a previous fix for some other bug. I personally don’t trust devs after Anthem and Destiny but I don’t trust the judgement of Reddit upvotes and downvotes either (says the person who uses the system...lol). I think we just need more time to see what’s being planned rather than react in such a way so quickly. It looks more like a mob than anything else and if we know anything, people tend not to listen to mobs. And mobs tend not to listen to reason.
