Why can't there be more time in a day? Seriously! There's so much I still need to do in-game, I'm nowhere near close to level capping, and haven't been into the DZ for any reason other than to take a look-see. And now they're bringing out a bunch more stuff in a week?! Seriously, someone needs to make a time slowing device. And soon.

From my side I am so bored. I run dailies with friends, yawn through them, get them geared. I go to the DZ, little bit more excitement. Honestly the most entertainment I get out of the game is watching friends trying and also trying myself to get tank/healers roles to work in hard/challenge mode. It just.... doesnt. But we still try.
They said that the new content will enable those roles more, I can only hope.

AMEN! with wife and kids and work, there is barely any time left for gaming. If I am lucky, i can squeeze out about an hour or 2 at night about 3 days in the week. but thats just not enough to really get stuck in.

I'm hoping when they bring out the armor sets that the bonuses provide better perks to certain roles.
Maybe tanks with better damage mitigation and HP on crit/kill

Same here, I usually sacrifice getting a full night sleep so that I can get a little gaming time in once the family is sleeping, usually only get started around 10 or 11.

Story of my life - the problem is lately I find myself getting tired at that time so I usually decide to sleep rather than squeeze in some gaming. I put it down to the fact we recently moved and things have been hectic so I've been needing the extra sleep.

I can't game late the way i used to. back when i was young (i'm 35 now) I could game all night, sleep a couple hours, and be fine. but recently i find that if i game to 1AM, i am then buggered. case in point, have had a cracking migraine today after late night of The Division

I'm 36 myself, and I've really been feeling the late game sessions in the morning. I've also had a few nights lately where I crawl into bed at 12:30 or so, and then at around 1:00 the kid wakes up. Worst nights ever.I can't game late the way i used to. back when i was young (i'm 35 now) I could game all night, sleep a couple hours, and be fine. but recently i find that if i game to 1AM, i am then buggered. case in point, have had a cracking migraine today after late night of The Division

It's like they know! I've had this happen a few too many times.
I figured I'd create a thread for moaning - since we're a bit off topic - "I can't game the way I used to."

So I'm currently sprawling the map getting 100% for all phone recordings, missing agents, drones etc.
I highly recommend you all do this. There are parts of this game I have never seen and it looks incredible.

HAve all of you guys got lvl 31 items? IT will be almsot required to do a HARD run on incursions ?
I am 80% there and went for the electronics build . 85k / 79k / 43 k ( 51% mitigation ) . Sticky at 250 K capped and i an over heal a friend with half a bar of hp full. If i heal 2 friends my skills are almost imediately ready again, I f i heal all 3 in my party every one has their skills reset.
MY main build for sustain support is mobile cover and the Health pack you drop with the ammo perk. With the cooldown reduction on this we have perma healing and cover and not a lot of people know this but all of the support stations you can revive yourself . Just crawl closer to it and hold F .

Running a similar build: 91k dps/51k health/50k SP all L31 gear. I use smart cover and pulse in groups. In total I bring permanent +40% Crit Chance / +99% Crit DMG and +72% DMG Resistance / +50% DMG Buff to a group and +200% or so dmg on mobs pulsed.
It means that my group can go behind normal cover that is buffed by me and pop their heads over and shoot at anything without having to duck down, elite snipers and any of the bosses included. The DMG resist, the HP regen makes it all possible for your group to lay down consistent DPS, stopping only for reload.
In my opinion it (sadly) overshadows any healing that a support player can do. I love being a healer, healing is just too weak at the moment.
Don't get me started on a tank role, there is none in this game, nothing that you can do can make you tank standing up in hard/challenge mode.

Read it and weep for your crafting mega farm.

That pretty much seals the deal for me coming back. I couldn't stand the tedious grind as it was...

Yeah, after my 100+ hours I was already starting to get over it. I may return to play with friends with a new character or something, but it's starting to feel like a grind to me (and a heavy one at that), and that's just something I'm not really into. Though I might also possibly return to collect items etc and explore the world. But as it stands I'm pretty much done with the game.
But if I look at the grand scheme of it, to pay less than R6p/h for entertainment, it was real value in my opinion.

I find it strange that they went the opposite route to D3. When D3 hit the totally random loot wall, where everyone wanted to stop playing because totally random loot was not fun, the design team made drops for a player be loot that the class the player could use.
In the division they are making it even more punishing as now you have to farm longer to keep rolling on crafting that 90% of the time gives you rubbish. In the case of weapons it is even worse, since you cannot re-roll weapon stats/talents.
My usual group is falling apart because of this already.

There's a recalibration station in the tech wing that lets you re-roll stats on gear. Does that help?
Or does it not work for weapons?

You cannot re-roll weapons. The grind in this game is real, it made me want to play Diablo 3 again so I could see good loot drops again

The recalibration only works on gear, not weapons.
