Hello! Thank you for the unemotional and logical view on IB "remastered". I used to play Rift in D1 and was initially excited/curious as to how things would pan out in D2, with different levels of ability and weapon enhancements. I have not stepped into the arena yet (I am about to though, but only for Pinnacle Gear) as I have have actively avoided it since the Point of the Stage season (can't remember, it was too long ago). The reason I avoided IB was mainly because of stacked higher level players Vs Solo players. I have been cautious as fun is the reason I play D2, and a good part of it is getting rewarded for being a team player. After reading the the rants of many, I have found out that the rewards for team play are near zero. On top of that, bugs and severe respawn times in ridiculous locations make it all the more frustrating. And then there's the AFKs who have simply reacted to Bungie's "reward" system by doing what they need to to get Pinnacle Gear. What I see, given the feedback, is a game mode geared to an individualistic mindset and not a team's mindset by incentivising the "carrier" and neglecting the supporting crew. Also, the same old sniper camping and airborne shotgunners with 1 million mobility are around. All said, this is largely what the forums and youtubers have put forward, even some journalists as well! Not very encouraging I must say, but I'm going in to see for myself. Once again, thank you for the honest opinion Guardian!
