Power level grind

The new grind is rough. I think I speak for most people when I say this. The majority of your player base isn’t able to grind this much. You guys need to get ahead of this before a bunch of people leave. I want this game to continue to thrive, but at this rate it’s not going to. We are going into week 3 and less people are playing than in heresy at this same point. The grind is killing the player base. I get tier 5 loot should be for the most skilled/dedicated players, but requiring such a time commitment shouldn’t be how to get those items. Most people will not reach 450 power by the end of the season and it’s gonna feel real bad when they reset back to 200 in renegades. I would axe that decision as well. If you want the tier 5 loot behind a time commitment, resetting power doesn’t need to happen. Maybe reset to 400 but not all the way down to 200. Especially considering the grind from 400-450 is brutal in itself.

  • The power level is really bizarre.... it's only an unlock tool, I.e. can I play this mode, or can I get this tier. As soon as you have access, the power level no longer matters. I don't necessarily mind that being the situation, but the implementation is just ridiculous... not that it matters, but I feel the power level should be adapted to be character level, and weapons/armour have no specific level; this feels more relevant to what the game is trying to do (maybe).

  • Agreed, and seeing tier 5s are waaaaay out of reach I just lost total interest. I will play other games.

    • Agreed, the difficulty in earning tier 5 loot should be difficult content and not spending dozens of hours grinding to unlock the content.
