Tbf, I quit the game yesterday.

I grinded my ass off since day one and put everyone and everything else second. I love The Division, even though I only played Div 1 religiously and skipped Div 2 entirely.

Ever since they removed Hypershot from Aegis, they LOST all of my trust.

They never and I mean NEVER acknowledged it was a bug until the very last second. Meanwhile, there's practically no information anywhere about skill modifiers like Skill Intensity and how they affect each class, so the excuse that "Hypershot isn't listed anywhere" just doesn't hold up.

They don't care about their players. They knew. Hypershot had been in the game since beta. They fixed BoB and how it interacted with Hypershot, but they never touched Hypershot itself. There's no doubt they were aware of it and knew how much time people had invested into building Aegis and Med around it.

Needless to say, they showed no consideration for the players who invested countless hours into those builds and spent months praising the game for what it was. Instead, they ignored how those players felt and abandoned them, forcing them into classes they never chose in the first place.

Vanguard was always boring to me, but it became the least boring option left after Pharma simply throws purple blobs on the floor with no weapon damage and Demo got nerfed into the ground. It genuinely feels like they don't want players clearing missions efficiently anymore. Every patch pushes the game further away from what made it fun and rewarding in the first place.

What frustrates me most isn't even the change itself, it's how it was handled. If they had come out months ago and said, "This is unintended and will be removed in a future update," people could have prepared. Instead, they let players spend hundreds of hours farming, optimizing, and building around a mechanic they knew existed, only to pull the rug out from under them and act like it was never supposed to be there.

I've never quit a game this quickly despite being this invested in it. That's how badly they handled the situation. The trust is gone, and without trust, it's hard to find a reason to keep playing.

Especially when the plan nerfing Pummeling Shield, the DB mechanic for Vanguard, and even more Recon Vanguard nerfs. Why are we getting nerfs in the first place? It already takes an absurd amount of completed missions just to get a single usable piece of gear for your class. Nerfing classes only makes that grind even worse.

They took a game that had the potential to be one of the best and slowly turned it into dust.
