The Division - The Division 2 announced! Pg. 126

It's great to see that the developers have spent time analysing the rankings / difficulty and are going to deliver improvements. I only played the game a bit (up to level 11?) and, for the two or three times I played online with GRcadians*, it was top fun. Even so, it did feel like there were huge gaps in power with the other guys being at a higher level so it'll be good to see that smoothed a little.

After watching some videos breaking down the new changes it does look promising.

Seems Peter will have his PvE DarkZone he's always wanted

About time they finally put the enormous city to use though. It was such a shame to ignore the huge and detailed world they'd created after reaching level 30

If you thought the power gap was bad at that level the gaps after level 30 are insane.
The difference between any of our characters and people with maximised builds was laughable with them able to steamroller all 4 of us at once as a single player and pretty much ignore any damage we did.
It's why the pvp aspect was so terrible as you'd have people who's only goal was seemingly to make other players life a missery as they already had all the loot the game had to offer.

As I've said I'd play this again in a group with you guys as that's where the fun is and I hope this update means we can play and it not be a Herculean task taking out any average guy on a mission even before we get to a boss. It's just a shame it took this long for them to realise that not everone enjoys the game being balanced for those who have unlimited free time and like grinding a game where every single enemy is strawberry floating hard as nails and the loot drops were pathetic.

Some people seemingly like games that are soul destroyingly hard and give almost zero reward but that was not for me so hopefuly they will stop listening to that side of the community and start listening to the 99% who think the difficulty was set to insane levels and left.

I bought the season pass with the game but the first part of that was the Underground and I think we played it for about a couple of hours in total so not exactly the greatest value season pass ever.

It's a bit of a long one but the devblog on 1.4 is worth a read on the changes.

removal of the crap skill scavenging is good, it never worked.

Weapon skins no longer take space in your inventory either.

If you have a spare 2 3/4 hours watch the stream.

If not

PTS has no impact for console right now as it's PC only and is a public test server.

I may finally get some value for my season pass as I haven't played this at all in weeks and only did an hour or so of the Underground.
I'm cautiously optimistic but there's still a chance this could all go horribly wrong and the game continues to be as punishing to anyone but the hardest of the hardcore grinders who the game has been aimed at so far.

The Division Patch v1.4 is coming on 25th October!

At last, now it should be a lot better hopefully.

I'm going to give it a try but to be honest I don't hold out much hope and I only play in groups so unless you guys get back into it then this will continue to be dead to me which is a shame as it could have been fantastic.

I see Ubisoft are being nice and releasing the patch on my birthday.

Maybe you should give it a try as my mate and I are still playing it quite often when we fancy, but we are hoping the new patch will solved on so many issues! :dread:

I've been waiting for this patch since the rumours about it first started coming along. Haven't played the game in ages (not since the second incursion came out and I couldn't get a group because everyone insta-kicked me due to my gear score) but this will certainly get me to give it another try at least.

Yeah you're welcome to join with us one day. That goes the same for Peter Crisp and Dinoric.

I think I'm one of the few people here who plays the PC version. Don't think there's any cross play is there?

I am liking the ability to buy high level gear from all the vendors as well as sealed cashes. Oh and buying in a tier 1 area then popping in to tier 4 to sell some stuff for more although margins are small. Oh and being able to buy level 33 mods, just need to change to tier 4.

Seeing as I foolishly bought the season pass when this came out I guess I'll re-download this and see what's changed; I imagine i'll be laughably behind but its not costing me any more so why not.

I found my Gear Score going up surprisingly fast with the new World tier system.

Underground - 100%!

The last bit was a bit tough to finish the phrase on Challenge with five directive perks and luckily we did manage it without any hassle. Phew!

What gearscore were you when you finished the underground Bor?

Nice one, BOR! I noticed on my PS4 activity feed that you'd got the trophy for hitting level 40 underground :toot:

Gearscore 229. As it's the maximum gearscore after the latest patch v1.4.
