Title says it all... last week the game was fun. I logged in today for the first time post patch, and the game isnt fun any more. They've nerfed things that didnt need nerfing, and didnt bother to fix things that needed fixing (think kills not working properly).
What isn't fun, you ask? Well, drop rates suck. I played 6 hours straight clearing the invasions, etc. and getting to WT5. All that while, not a single piece of specialized ammo dropped. Seems specializations are only worth their weapon buff now... i.e. if you like ARs use survivalist, etc. The sepcialization weapons are dead weight.
Also, gear score is all F'd up... I expected this to work like in WT4, but no, they changed that. You can't get 500 gear without trying to fool the system. Why does gear not drop at 500, thus affording us the ability to try and build a near perfect set of gear based on what we want? At 498 I dont get 500 drops except out of Prof Caches. And, weapons seen to never drop anyway anymore. All that time I received 3 ARs and ZERO smgs. One sniper at 473 GS.
And thanks for wrecking weapon mods. I wasnt a fan of negative attributes, but I am less a fan of not being able to down a purple with a clip. I know, it's partly garbage gear (see above...), but also nerfing the stats on weapons.
I have no idea who thought these changes would be good or fun, but they are not. I had 140 hours into the game leading up to today, and unless things are changed drastically I don't see matching that in end game. FWIW, I played over 4000 hours of Div 1 and loved that game. This game just S%$# the bed....
