So, I was super excited for the raid. After 1000+ hours in the Division and about 600 hours in Div2 so far, I definitely am pretty good at the game, able to do all the existing content with little to no effort. My builds are all min maxed to perfection, even after the patch, and I play with a solid clan of people with similar skill, time played and build understanding. However, we all play on Xbox One...
We have now tried the raid repeatedly and still can't clear boomer reliably. Yes, it can be done... But the pc crowd can do the whole raid in 23 minutes, and on console the record is 19 hours (this may have changed since I last checked). This is ****ing ridiculous and clearly something is wrong here.
You basically just took a dump on console players (which is a HUGE percentage of your market), and now the player count is the lowest I've ever seen it. There is NO ONE in safe houses or the dz, because quite frankly I think people are just done with this game and the raid was the nail in the coffin. My clan had about 20-25 active members daily. More on the day the raid dropped. Now it's 4-5. And no one wants to retry the raid.
The fact that you have locked gear sets and the best AR in the game behind this nearly insurmountable and incredibly frustrating experience... I just don't understand.
I loved this game on launch, stuck with it since, and will probably continue to play. And I've never complained about difficulty before. HOWEVER, this time, there IS an issue with the raid on console and it needs to be fixed. We don't have the advantage that the pc crowd does, and clearly this hasn't been taken into account when creating this content.
I hope to see this addressed before it's too late and no one wants to play this game anymore. You seem to be pushing fans away with the raid on console, not bringing them in. No one in their right mind would opt in to trying the same **** over and over for 19+ hours, even if it's split up over the course of a week.
THIS IS NOT FUN.
Sincerely,
