First off, this is not a list of complaints... this is a list of observations based on gameplay and patch notes... I have nearly 200 hours in forsaken already. 1) Tether - Stated Specifically to attach faster to players... This is false, the tether is no better than it was in Year 1... please fix this. 2) Shotguns - Shotguns are like a cancer in crucible right now, they seem to be peoples only viable option for pvp, and seeing as 99% of your map design revolves around close quarters hallways and tunnels, they reign supreme, especially when they can hit someone from further range than an SMG and 1 shot them. Shotguns need to have their viability(Range) reduced. 3) One-Eyed Mask - Im all for making exotics feel exotic, but to instantly full regen health and give an over shield, when you just nerfed Worm-Husk crown to not start regen, this is stupid. It needs to be relooked at. 4) Sleeper in PVP in general - ANY weapon that can 1 shot anywhere on the body from that range and accuracy with a projectile that can cross the distance in an instant is too strong, this weapon needs to be reworked to fit in line with other linear fusions in pvp. 5) SMGs and Scout Rifles - These 2 weapon types feel as tho they have taken a SIGNIFIGANT drop in usability after the time to kill and weapon slot changes. SMGs because shotguns are too good at close range and scouts because pulse rifles are too good at mid range... Seeing as ALL your map close to mid range maps, there is no room for these weapons anymore, this needs to be changed. 6) Exotic Drop rates - Again, i'm all for making exotics feel exotic... but the drop rate is terrible, iv gotten 1 new exotic in over 200 hours of gameplay. Maybe im unlucky, maybe i'm doing something wrong(?) but this is ridiculous considering i got every other exotic in the game before forsaken and i don't want more damn duplicates. 7) Iron Banner - Light Level Advantage is a joke, a 10 light player can kill a 550+ easily... stop going easy on players. 8) Exotic Quests - Exotic quests need to be difficult to receive some of the most powerful guns in the game... if you want to change a quest to make it easier, be my guest... but give something to the players who put the time and effort in to obtain it in the more difficult fashion. 9) Eververse - Originaly, Bright engrams were designed to give 1 unique item (Ghost shell, sparrow, emote, ect.), 1 Set of shaders and either a gift of dust or transmat effect... I have gotten more useless bright engrams full of bright dust, shaders and transmat effect than ever before since forsaken dropped, please address this. 10) Load Times and UI lag - It seems with EVERY patch, load times in this game get worse and worse... im on the original Xbox One and sometimes have 30-45 second load times into missions solo, or 15-20 second load times just passing through a load zone... you NEED to optimize this game. 11) Spawning in PVP - The spawn system in this game is trash.... Iv been spawn killed more times in this game than any other game i have ever played, sometimes by the same person that JUST supered me with the SAME SUPER. All of your maps are designed for 4v4, not 6v6, and some of them are designed for 2v2 or 3v3 yet you still slap 12 people on it... People have begun to exploit your trash spawn system to obtain easy kills, with weapons like the sleeper, Rockets, Shotguns(pretty much all of them) and certain snipers and all supers, your spawn protection is meaningless. 12) Matchmaking - Its broken... iv had 10 game streaks against the same people over and over again, it is also not matching based on SBMM anymore. On a related note, why are Solo queue being matched against full teams more and more, i thought this was fixed back in warmind. 13)Connections - Player with Terrible connections are benefiting from these connections... incorrect hit boxes, teleportation around, instant kills.... Players with High ping needs to be matched with players with High Ping, not the general community. All in All... i love forsaken, its a great addition to D2 that fixed quite a bit and made the game very enjoyable to play again... There are just certain things that need to be addressed. Call me what you want, call me a complainer, call me a whiner... i don't care. These are my observations, my grievances, my issues with Forsaken and D2. And as a player who has taken the time to get a degree in game development, many of these things make me sick, amateur mistakes from such a beloved development company. I will be adding to this if people bring up good points or i come across something i forgot to mention. If you respond with hostility i will simply report your post to remove it from my sight.
