Who thought "Descent" was a good idea?

Who thought "Descent" was a good idea? What a disappointment of a game mode. In a game where you've spent hundreds of hours working on your equipment, modifying your weapons, honing your skills, they thought it would be a great idea to make you start from scratch, over and over again. It was incredibly boring, I can't comprehend their thinking. Will anyone even play it?

Have to agree. Not very enjoyable to have all your effort be rewarded by losing all your armor, weapons, and skills. Not even certain if it's worth whatever you receive once it's been finished.

Indeed . I'm all for adding optional content to this game, regardless of whether I do or do not play the content.

it's basically a different game mode, separate from the normal one. for what it is, it's fun.

I enjoyed it because it pushes me out of my comfort zone, makes me try things that aren't normally in my wheelhouse. My only problem with it is that since the update my friends and I haven't been able to group up, which is beyond frustrating as it's not just Descent but everything.

My only issue with it it's that its to long - we went full hard route and in the middle we had to choose easy one to get nemesis faster cuz it was already almost 2 hours and we died to it lol

Would be nice if delta 3 let you stay in the group like it does for all other content.

Just played it once, was at 60% Nemesis or something and had game crash. After reloading I was standing somewhere outside. All the work for nothing. Technical problems ruin this game.

It targeted for newer players to help them learn and explore talents, gear and weapons.

I will. Why? Because It's fun.

It's the opposite of the Ascent. It's taking Survival mode (aka: the best mode that everyone raved about) from the Division 1, lowering the count (so you can have it fire more often) and comes down to decisions and build skill.

There is a little RNG in it like most Rogue-likes, but it's good fun for a free update. I'll probably stick with it when feeling up for something that isn't grinding in the game.

super disappointing mode for me. Its just the same thing over and over and over again in rooms designed to screw the player over to get rewards that are no better than other activities that take half the time

[Hodor]

Got bored in 10mins watching pple playing the descent PTS on youtube, will probably try one day.

Really wish they brought back div 1 survival mode instead, most people who bought the game did it for the openworld stuff, not camping doors in repetitive rooms.

[harisenvin]

its a rougelike mode.

complaining "my equipment is gone" is kinda retarded ngl.

[9Sniket]

rewards are a joke
talents and elite opponents are ridicoulus
