Why just **one** build? [quote]I can’t put my finger on it mabey div 1 just burned me out . I don’t know .[/quote] The Division 1 was more of a loot-chase game, than a mix-max game. You chased ofter over-powered gear sets that had very low drop rates....and then you just went to the optimization station and turned them into what you wanted. The Divison 2 is a true min-maxiing game. The game is far more generous with loot...but you have less ability to turn them into what you want. So you need to GRIND more to find the particular ROLL of an item you want, rather than the item itself. If you're someone who dosn't like (or doesnt' fully understand) end-game build making....the Div 1 model was more likely to keep you engaged. Especially if you were grinding for weapons for PVP use. But to a build-maker and min-maxer, the Div 2 model is like being a kid in a candy store. Because the game is generous enough wtih loot, that you can construct almost any build you can imagine. You just have to put the time into getting the pieces that you need. [quote]In fact I don’t have anyone playing div 2 right now. It was fun a couple weeks not so much after .[/quote] Some gamers have a higher "need for novelty" (new experiences) than others. Loot-games are designed for players who have a relatively LOW need for novelty, and are comfortable finding new ways to interact with familiar content. I have that kind of personality (I'm a creature of habit), so I've always gotten along comfortably with them. But if you're someone who gets bored and restless pretty quickly when you find yourself doing repetitive tasks.....you're always going to have a tense relationship with these kinds of games. Its not good or bad....just different...and it helps to know your own tastes and preferences (which is what this ultimately is). I get along well with loot games....but I can't stand Dark Souls games..and other games that rely making the player weak for their difficulty. I can grind a game like The Division 2 happily for months....but give me a Dark Souls game and I'll be ready to quit in a combination of boredom and frustration in under an hour.
