Would the Division have been better if Survival was the full game mode?
Ok...soooo...I kind of owe massive an apology, I crapped all over this mini game when it first came out, but the more I play it, the more I like it, and wish there was more to it....We are talking about Survival of course.
I hated survival when I first tried it, really hated it. Seemed nothing more than a mini game. I guess to be fair, it still feels that way, but I will give it credit, even if it is a mini game, it is a fun one.
Did anyone else think that the Division, the full game, was going to be more like Survival and less like what it actually is?
I really like Survival, but probably not for the same reason as most. I like PvP, and Survival PvP has some of the best balance out there at the moment. The fights are legitimately fun, not a lot of skill power, no gear sets, just gun fighting goodness for the most part.
The only real advantage is if you have better guns, gear...but even then, you still feel like you can put someone down with a pistol.
The not so new trend that has been going on for a little while now is people flocking to level 14 DZ, where there are no gear sets, and pretty low end skill usage. Honestly, it is the closest thing to normalized PvP the division offers at this point.
PvP feels great in these instances.
But......And this is for the PvErs out there....
With that said, I love the looter theme to this game as well, and I like build diversity, and like PvE as well...im not sure how you marry those two things effectively though, but I really hope they figure it out.
I thought The Division would be more like Survival on a much bigger scale, which for me, has made the game fun and interesting again for the time being.
Anyone else think that would be the case initially? Are you happy with the way it turned out?
This is not a complaining thread about current state.
I love the division as it is, I play more than i should, so this is not me complaining, not a hate thread. I just wonder what could have been...had they gone all in on Survival as the core game.
