From what I've seen that includes numerous wipes etc. and a 5 hour break in the middle of all.

Ah ok, not as crazy so bit still a bit mad.

I know this won't be a popular opinion but I don't think they should change the global mechanics of the raid across platforms because it's proving harder with a console controller. If that's how you want to play, more power to you but it's well known to be less accurate and responsive and 99% of the time an aimbot is built into the game to compensate. It shouldn't be made easier on any other platform because of the choice to still continue with that input method - I know current major vendors prohibit m+kbd for games on their platforms, that's where the focus should be, add more valuable control options rather than put training wheels on the others. Gaming has already suffered too much over the last 15 years trying to compensate for the lowest common denominator control type.
They could improve the experience by adding a buff to damage, and/or debuff bosses just on the consoles as an option when starting the session. Give people the options they need to play, on what they want to play it on but don't remove the extra challenge for those who want that aswell.

I dont know how you would play this with a controller, must be impossible...

Finally level 30. Approx 45 hours in.

Same as is last stronghold unlocked for you?

I’ve only done one stronghold I think.

I wonder can you matchmake the stronghold, probably not unless you free roam which would mean you have to luck out and have someone do it. I'm assuming this is the only thing outstanding on your story progression?
I wouldn't normally but I think if I was in your position and couldn't find a workaround I'd be contacting Ubisoft support.
I'd probably just start a second character. It would be soul destroying but I'm crazy enough to do it.

I did one last night ( I think, had a tank in one of the parts ) and sent out a back up call at that point and a few minutes later someone joined. Thankfully to be honest as that **** is tough as nails, for me anyway.

2 days, 2 hours and 20 mins.

Just saw the fireworks. World tier one it is.

You can match make through the strongholds which by the way we’re definately the highlight of the game so far.

First look at my gear score. It’s currently 256. A little off raid pace. Lol.

So much in this game.

You can matchmake for anything, stongholds and missions are the only thing that actually show whats matchmaking.

Are you finding similiar level players atm?

I assume they were the same level but not sure tbh.

yeah you'll notice a difficulty spike every time you go into a new WT it will pass quickly though as you pick up gear
speaking of which watching video this morning where the youtuber worked out you have a 0.00045% chance of getting the piece you want or 1 in 225,000. His math was awful which he admitted to himself but it feels about right

It's an odd game alright where walking down the street can be more difficult than a challenging mission.

The first Tier is the hardest if you workthe system. After T1 each subsequent tier essentially has a max GS range of 50, and you are able to do the Stronghold and boost to the next Tier after increasing just 25. So the T1 stronghold to move to T2 can be attempted at 275, but you can achieve 300 in T1 - do so as you will be a god in T1 at that GS and can farm anything. Do the same for each additional tier, get your GS close to the current tier's max rather than the earliest tier promotion point and you'll have less issues when you do move up.

To be honest I’m in no mad rush to move up the tiers.

Once I have some stuff to shoot and can see my score going up I’m happy to plod along so getting to 300 before moving on etc sounds good to me.

I was just frustrated yesterday as it was a big spike and I had a headache as it was. Lol.

Just got to WT 5, I have to say I did not find much of a difficulty spike going up through the tiers. Done Tidal Basin, what now?

Get to 500, or as close as possible for the Raid.

make a build so you can raid if you're level 500 you're roughly 1/2 way there

Was tempted to jump back into this but with it sounding like the raid is tailored purely towards min/max players, I'm kinda put off.

I don't have the time anymore to sit and finely tune a build, especially with the chances of getting the drop you want being so pathetically low. If the gear sets were worth a **** that would alleviate some of the issue I think, as I could just farm a gear set and at least be somewhat useful. But they aren't so hey ho.

So whats the deal with the dark zone? Is that where all the good gear is?
