This is not one of those iQuit threads, or a rant or anything like that. I've played games long enough to know that they all have life spans and sooner or later we all move on. However, I felt that since it's only been a couple of months since release, it's very soon to be feeling like this or losing the incentive to play more, so I wanted to do what this forum is for, giving some feedback in the hopes it can help the game or future games from Massive.

Having been a PVP DZ player in Division 1, the new DZ and PVP doesn't appeal so I've just been enjoying the PVE side of things, but without build diversity, there just doesn't seem to be much incentive to play or farm. I've tried SMG builds, LMG builds, and like everyone else, a min-maxed AR build is what has been most effective. Once you get that, it's extremely rare to find a piece that's better than what I found weeks ago. Other than that, there's nothing to farm for.

Sure, there are exotic weapons, masks, etc. But nothing like that can make up for the lack of actual effective build diversity like we have in Division 1 with tactician skill builds, striker DPS, deadeye snipers, etc.

I'll definitely play more once we get content that's open to MM, but again, all the free missions and content are and will be like placing plasters on a wound. Without build diversity and goals to farm for, looter games will eventually run dry.

Again, not a rant or complaint thread, just giving feedback on why I'm personally not playing as much in the hopes our opinions are heard for future.

I appreciate the feedback. Though it's always uniquely saddening, it is insightful to see the various reasons why people might step away from the game. For the OP, what's a type of build you've really tried to make work, despite it all?
