How is this directive not fixed by now? It has been bugged for over a year at this point. It bugs out so that even if you use all your armor kits, it DOES NOT remove a stack of broken armor? Come on! Fix it already! I just fought a bunch of rogues after doing a heroic CP with one tiny sliver of armor what wasn't fun in the slightest.

@virtual-chris The annoying thing about heroic is that you need an optimised build to do it reliably, and dont get optimised gear untill you do heroic.......Brilliant idea Massive, absolutely stellar big brain 100 IQ idea. So you have to grind challenging for ages to use optimisation to get gear good to get gear that isn't as good on heroic......

@ubi-gizmo Jesus no wonder almost no one plays this game at this point, your response is a carbon copy of a similar post in the old forums nearly OVER A YEAR AGO saying your "looking into" the bug. How much more "looking into" do you need to do?

JUST.FIX.IT. How hard can it be to to make it so if player has x debuff, using armor kit *GASPS* REMOVES IT.

@virtual-chris I don't like how much damage red bars do in general, apart from that I agree with what your saying. But the damage output for what is supposed to be "trash" mobbs just doesn't feel right. More reds should spawn in greater numbers just deal half damage, but the big chungus and sniper boiz should ABSOLUTELY be able to two tap you out of cover, makes sense, they're veterans and they have been around, ditto for black tusk elitesm they're trained soldiers. But to have your armor destroyed by a stupid hyena smg [censored] that ISN'T EVEN HOLDING THE GUN IN A WAY IT COULD EVER BE FIRED, just annoys me. This game is supposedly about realism (to a degree) and yet dumb [censored] like this exists. Also the shield dudes can two tap you with PISTOL from like 50m away just blows me away.

Like I said in my OP, I don't mind how threatening SOME enemies are, just the pinpoint accuracy of EVERY enemy type is kinda silly. No way should shotgunners and pistol bois 2 tap your armor from 50m away.

The other comments in this post are "hurr durr play on easy or play another game except the one you currently have 500hours in hurr durr". Thank you, for at least attempting to give an intelligent reply. No wonder this game is dead when the majority of answers to any question are "hurr durr git gud scrub" nonsense.

@oatiecrumble I'm talking heroic solo, not in a group. When your taking ALL the damage and have ALL the mobbs shooting you, YES you do need an optimised build.

@dagrommit I don't care. [censored] this game. There are no mechanics. AI has bigger number than players, cheats like a [censored] and ignores the rules of the game the players have to obey. My personal favourite is the fast as [censored] bio speed they get compared to us, were lumbering [censored] tanks compared to Usain Bolt's cousins AI speed. [censored] this game. Its not "difficult" its not "challenging" its [censored] BORING

@honestlyok1986 I don't care I uninstalled. Will find another game that respects my [censored] time, this one DOES NOT.

@virtual-chris Thank You! Nice to see some intelligence on this forum. This idea you can do heroic in blah blah gear, is absolute [censored].

@noxious81 All the ai does for me is run up to my face with bajillions of health and dump damage into me. Like literally make a beeline like a [censored] [censored] straight at me. I go to cover? Enemy runs up to my face and shoots me in face! I fall back, enemy chases me and shoots me in face! The enemy KNOWS it has billions of health and i get 2 tapped and it [censored] CHEATS. Its cheap game design, there is not [censored] tacticts or anything. Because theres dozens of them and one of me they just get all the [censored] advantages. Its pathetic game design, downright lazy and [censored] infuriating to play against. And dont tell me "hurr durr stick to cover" every [censored] faction has a [censored] unit that SPAMS nades and airburst [censored] to force you OUT of cover.

I want to make it clear, its not IMPOSSIBLE its [censored] ANNOYING to play this game.

@oatiecrumble Hurr durr good for you! must have 1000000000000000IQ and a big pee pee! Must be great.

Try running solo heroic on 250ms ping and get back to me.

@oatiecrumble I'm talking heroic solo, not in a group. When your taking ALL the damage and have ALL the mobbs shooting you, YES you do need an optimised build.

@noxious81 There are zero mechanics. Enemies have billions of health and they know it so they can just ignore the rules of the game we players have to obey. I haven't seen a single elite on legendary or heroic even bother to use cover, what do they do, run up to your face and [censored] shoot you.

Anyone else actually enjoying the fact you FEEL like a competent [censored] division agent with this event? Heroic open world is only half as cancer as it usually is with this event, and unlike guardian event, its actually FUN! The reason why people used the damage glitch back in the day (apart from those that cheated for raid leaderboards and [censored] like that) was that you actually FELT POWERFUL. The enemies in this game have all the advantages, and we, supposed "super agents" feel like a bunch of children equipped with super soakers instead of guns.

I'm not calling for nerfs to mobbs or anything, just keep this in mind if we ever get a Division 3 massive. Players.Like.To.Feel.Powerful. There is absolutely ZERO power fantasy in Division 2. There is a reason games like Diablo 3 (even though its considered the worst diablo) have people that still play them as much as they do. Because you FEEL like a [censored] badass! In those games you see a bunch of enemies and think "I'm gonna [censored] up there day!" And just charge right in there and wreck face, but its not necessarily mindless. You absolutely DO NOT get that feeling in Division 2, especially now years later where all the fun stuff has been nerfed into mediocrity. My LMG, SMG and AR build all do pretty much the same dps, feel the same, only difference is smg has less effective range. Big whoop.

Red bars should not do anywhere near as much damage as they do now. Getting insta gibbed by red bar hyena smg guy is [censored] considering you can be fighting 3-5 of those pricks at one time! Purple and yellows? Sure, but not the "trash" level enemies. Keep the sponge but get rid of either there insane dps or keep damage as it is and nerf there accuracy. The out of cover damage is just rediculous.

And before anyone starts, yes I know there are tanky builds out there I'm just saying.

So my point is, I really like this event Massive, can we have it stick around for a few months? Screw the other events, they aren't anywhere near as much fun.
