What Is Going On With This Game??
Okay, I guess it's my turn to rant... I tried to hold out and have faith up to this point, but I'm really starting to believe that this game is never going to regain any semblance of the balance it had prior to the implementation of mods...
In the last month I've gone from regularly completing GW to getting one-hit-killed TODAY by Rey doing 36k crits on NODE 6 OF GW, modded out primarily with TIER 1 AND 2 CRIT DAMAGE MODS. This, after mods supposedly getting nerfed by roughly half. GW had already earned the moniker of "Galactic Chore" prior to mods; now it's simply impossible for most to complete, and even less fun, as if that was even possible.
Not only that, but a month ago I could reasonably focus on making a choice between spending credits on stars, levels, or abilities and choose between farming shards or gear. Sure, credits and top-tier gear were both a bit scarce, but at least it was a (relatively) level playing field, and I could choose what I wanted to focus on. Now, if I want to even have ANY POSSIBILITY WHATSOEVER of competing, my only choice is farming mods, leveling mods, buying crystals for mods, mods, mods, only ever mods. How am I supposed to obtain new characters for the upcoming new raid - characters that were only just recently released, I might add - when I'm unable to win arena matches or GW nodes without ONLY focusing on mods for the rest of eternity???
It was bad enough that legitimate complaints about GW, Rey, Evasion, and a host of other problems went basically ignored despite numerous complaints by numerous players. This huge tire-fire that was created by the implementation of mods is just completely ridiculous and over-the-top though, and it really, truly convinces me that the analysts that "steer the ship" with this game simply want me to leave by making my experience with this game as awful as it's been over the last month. I mean, the forums are completely toxic, your best players are conducting a mass-exodus of this game, and YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE GUILD CHAT WORK CORRECTLY. Why should I believe that you could ever possibly see how broken your game mechanics are, let alone fix the game???
