I'm an older player, in my 50s - had an original 2600 kinda lifelong nerd - last year I got Covid and hit hard, then immediately had a stroke. I accept I will probably not do Uber bosses, can't really see Sirus well enough or react fast enough, and I'm fine with that. I've given up other games, having to withdraw from Raid teams because I was becoming a liability. I'm fine with that, you get older.
But since your nerfs, I've played 1 map, 2 Lakes, and 3 unique heists, a pretty small sample size. My character comfortably took down Maven's 10 (I died once for being dumb), can take down tier 16 bosses without a hiccup. I was one shot five times over those six instances. One heist had two Innocence rares and something that melee killed me from flying in off screen. I didn't die to the robot dude that drops a jewel, but I was just destroyed by the rares in the run up. I did a Metamorph encounter in the lakes (level 80 map at a difficulty 5 or 6), it dropped 1 white, 1 blue, and one one socket rare bow.
In the hour and a half I played today, I had disappointing loot and disheartening one shot or just overwhelming deaths from the mobs that shouldn't be the main threat in the game.
Life has been hard, two years ago I was the General Manager of a top rated bar in Austin Tx, now I struggle with all aspects of life. I can't do a lot of things I used to. But if I was smart, and planned, and grinded, I could still enjoy one of my all time favorite games. And you've taken that from me this league.
I understand you as a team have a vision of what the game should be. I understand that sometimes your customer base don't want what you want to be. I just want to feel my failures in this game are earned. That my successes are rewarded. And you've taken that from me.
I don't buy as many supporter packs as I used to, I can't afford to any more, but I'd say I've spent as much if not more than any subscription based game in the past. I've always been happy with that, you were the good guys. But to read how you've 'fixed' things and log into an hour and a half of failure feels like a betrayal.
I'll probably keep playing, because it's the only game I really have left, but I will end with the famous line, "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed."
