5th December 2017 - UPDATE 1.8 "Year 2"

Ihttps://tomclancy-thedivision.ubisoft. ... 18-year-2/



Update 1.8 is now live across PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Update your client and join us in the many new activities and features added to The Division, for free:

Resistance
Enemy factions have combined forces, and they are coming for Division Agents in Resistance. As a new PVE mode, waves of factions are working together to cut down SHD once and for all. Players can build fortifications, unlock sealed doorways, and open Classified crates in any of our three explorable arenas.

Skirmish
Skirmish is the new 4v4 TDM PVP mode. Designed with a less running/more gunning mindset, players will find shorter games, smaller maps, and closer engagements in one package. Playing Skirmish will also level up Last Stand Ranking, now renamed PVP Ranking for 1.8.

West Side Pier
West Side Pier acts as a map expansion, pushing players into the left-hand side of Manhattan. Players can farm Division Tech here, as well as accept Alerts/Assignment missions. A new social hub—Camp Clinton—will provide Agents everything they need to stock up in the new zone.

Revamped Underground
1.8’s Underground is better than ever before. Players will find new Directives that add a sense of risk vs. reward to missions. Checkpoints have also been introduced, and players are definitely going to need them. For the first time in The Division, Hunters will appear as a random encounter in the Underground and have a chance to drop Classified Gear.

Gear Optimization
Players have the opportunity to maximize the rolls on their weapons and gear using Division Tech at the Optimization Station. This new system, combined with a new ‘power’ level assigned to gear, will allow players to push farther into PVE content.

Rogue 2.0
Introduced in 1.8 is a voluntary Rogue Toggle that will change the pace of the Dark Zone. In order to go Rogue, Agents will have to hold down a key/button to flag themselves, and then proceed with their PVP business. Rewards on both sides of PVP Manhunts have also been increased.

Exotic Weapons
Four new exotic weapons are available in 1.8. The first is the ‘Big Alejandro’—a powerful LMG capable of mowing down targets with a high RPM when firing from cover. ‘The House’ SMG keeps Agents on their toes as one fluctuating half of its magazine grants bonus damage. The ‘Devil’ and ‘Heel’ marksman rifles are deigned to be used as a pair. When both are equipped, Agents get the benefits of both simultaneously



--------------------------

The Division takes place in New York three weeks after a lethal virus, released on Black Friday, has swept through the city. One by one, basic services have failed. Society has collapsed into chaos. The President invokes Presidential Directive 51, and The Division, a top-secret unit of self-supporting tactical agents, is activated. Leading seemingly ordinary lives, Division agents are trained to operate independently of command in this type of emergency situation. When the lights go out, their mission begins.


The Division also draws from the hardcore survivalism of Day Z or The Last of Us.

This looked brilliant, a really interesting universe and the chatter between characters was great, really immersive.

It did look pretty good, but what they showed was pretty limited.

Any word on when this is getting released? I presume its well over a year away. I'll have to see more before I'm half as interested as some of you.

Umm...wow!

Nice easy-going style and pin sharp visuals. What the hell was that shown on?

It was running on PS4. I don't think they actually said so, but the guy was using a Dual Shock 4.

Get out! That's looked strawberry floating incredible. I was expecting someone to say the next-generation of PC or something.

I'm pretty sure if it is on PC it will look just as good, if not better.

Do you often contemplate the complexity of life?

I'd imagine it looks similar on Xbox One. I don't really think it looks any better than what we saw of Watch Dogs last year.

I think what they showed of Witcher 3 looked better personally (not that that was on actual Xbox One hardware).

I think it looks technically better than Watch_Dogs

Technically it probably is better, but frankly it looks like it's being made in exactly the same mold as Watch Dogs; gritty near future open world game with emphasis on tech and multiplayer-singleplayer entwined.

I think the difference is watchdogs is an assassins creed/GTA style open world game. This is an actual MMO game.

Pretty sure they've shown Watchdogs with lots of other people in your game just like this.

What they haven't done is explain how that works in Watchdogs...or indeed in this game. I don't think they called it an MMO themselves so maybe that's not actually what it is.

There's no way it's going to be as brutal or difficult at DayZ. Especially not if it's from Ubisoft. I want to say it's going be a load of gooseberry fool because of them, but it's actually made by Massive, who have a pretty good track record.

The gameplay video looks pretty cool, though half of what I'm excited about is assumptions I'm making about the rest of the game. Need to see more.

ZombiU is petty hardcore and difficult.

This is looking like a highlight of the show. I really hope the survival aspects comprise a significant portion of the game.

First game that came to mind when they showed the gameplay was Freedom Fighters. Definitely sounds like it's got a lot of potential and i do like the sound of the concept to the game, wanna hear more in terms of mission variety and objectives. So from i've been impressed with two of Ubi's next gen new Ips.

That video was superb. This isn't normally my kind of game, but I'll be all over this.
