Ego rating . Useless ?

One thing is killing this game , one thing that could have been easily corrected .
EGO rating is completely useless in term of equipment/skills.

Seriously , I'm ego 700+ and the weapons/shields are the same since ego 20.
I sometimes find a weapon with a synergy , but they are like 10% melee or 5% reload. Got two legendaries yesterday , one was a grenade launcher with the awesome power of fire rate +10% with a max clip of 1 , the other was a sniper rifle with the same stats as the sniper rifle I got at the beginning + melee +15%.

WOOHOO !!! LEGENDARY !
I'm so glad I grinded my way up to something as satisfying as 80 points of damage.

More : hours and hours of grinding to equip a skill that is barely visible in term of stats on the character and do not improve at all the fun factor of the game (WOOHOO !! 3% ammo regen on critical kill...).

I'm halfway through the campaign and I feel I'm done with the game , the characters do not evolve one bit , and the loot system is the most boring I've ever seen since you only find level 1 weapons.
Pursuits are pointless grinding without any rewards since all you got is more EGO and I'm certainly not pushing this to ego 4000 only to find weapons with melee+ 16%.

This was a fun game , until I realized there was no excitement or surprises usually found in the loot system of that kind of game.

So stop playing.

Seriously, this is like the 800,000th post like this.

That is one of the problem in the game imo theres no real sense of progression. Its a shooter i get it but even in call of duty it was satisfying to get to a higher prestige and get a cool gun. Here I just don't feel like my character is going anywhere. Ego and pursuits for me is just numbers on the screen that doesn't affect me.

Lots of people have stopped playing. Why else do you think [SYSTEM] is begging people to join queues, and we have another thread open in the general discussion forum about the PS3 servers needing a "merge" because nobody's playing?

Best not to encourage people to leave. Not to mention people aren't going to leave just because you tell them to.

@Stanleypain
This is a forum. People can discuss stuff. Moderators can delete or merge posts if they want.

If this were a MMORPG, you'd be about 7th level out of 50 levels. Not only is the game a shallow power curve, but you're still very early in it.

im 2125 you get more perk slots to open up that about it im using a 909 shield cause it the only good shield ive found so far and 949 grenade 24 second recharge
focus on pursuits and you'll rank up

:rolleyes: I said same thing as you do. what is the point of lvl up mai player if get same gun status + gun skill max lvl20 & shield with same status... etto... :p where is the context go to... :p bore-dem... still good game i like it but iie not gone last long for me & other players... :o

I got a orange VOT Nano Fragger with the Rolling Thunder synergy which 5% and 10% magazine increase to a sawed-off shotgun. There is 10% and 20% hip accuracy, but these synergy mods are impossible to find or don't exist. To top it off, the bonus for weapon skill max is 30% fire rate for 5 seconds after self-revive. That does that make any sense? Increase rate of fire for a sawed-off? I feel your misery bud.

oh yes cause prestige had anything to do about weapons....only thing prestige did was unlock more loadout spots......
