All in all though I'm loving the open world. I find it's really difficult until you learn how to use each class and then it's a challenge It's also great to be able to use the environment tactically. In the traditional PvE you attack, retreat and pick off. In the open world you can flank, go round attack from high ground... awesome. I'd love to see stuff in the harder levels that requires co-ordinated attack (ie a shield that a solo has to shoot down, or use a recon to sneak in and blow up the power source). _________________

After monitoring the drops from 3 days of playing between 3-5 hours I have recieved 1 T1 armor plating (this includes all the raids that were available during this time). Before the patch I was getting around 50 in 3-5 hours and now I've got 1 in 3 days. As a crafter this is a big problem for me.

I'm only able to craft 1-2 rare mods a day, unless I feel like playing PvE, quite literally, all day long. Which, of course, I don't. Because that is very, very, very boring. I mean, it seems kind of ridiculous that you can go through several PvE missions without running into a single T1 and X1... Aren't these just rare components... not epic?

I do think the spawn times are a little fubared... it doesn't totally break the game, but is a pain in some bits...

I think the problem is other people (which is ironically the best bit too

) - as the bots have to spawn for them. So you clear an area, then someone else comes along and it all has to spawn for them.

The best example is the tunnel mission (with the computer where you have to turn stuff on).

I've had loads of times where I've killed a robot at the start of the tunnel, walked a bit further down, start killing the next one only to be killed by the one that spawned behind me.

All in all though I'm loving the open world. I find it's really difficult until you learn how to use each class and then it's a challenge

It's also great to be able to use the environment tactically. In the traditional PvE you attack, retreat and pick off. In the open world you can flank, go round attack from high ground... awesome.
