What happened to continuing the story?
When this game first came out I played it and loved the story. I am not a PvP type of person, I find it rather boring because its always exactly the same thing, you shoot people, people shoot you ad nauseam. So I waited, I got better gear, I waited some more. Nothing new came out for a couple of months so I stopped playing. Then my son got a few games that he likes on the account so gave that account to him and forgot about the game. I started a new account for myself when Ghost Recon Wildlands came out, then a couple of weeks ago I figured I might go ahead and get The Division for my new account and see what things had changed since I stopped playing. I thought surely you would have added a good amount to the story by now. Boy was I wrong! Everything that was added since I stopped playing was almost all for the PvP crowd with the exception of the underground and incursions. I do have to applaud you on making the base game more difficult than it was when the game first released, it took no time at all to reach lvl 30 back then and it took me considerably longer to reach that goal this time around.
So the question is, when exactly are you planning to finish telling the story that so many of us purchased the game for in the first place? I see that with update 1.8 you're adding a new PvE area to the game, but it's not clear if you're actually going to be telling anymore of the story or if its just a new area full of encounters that don't really add anything new to the story.
So clue us in already. When are you going to give us more story? When are we going to see you really expand the city so that we can explore more of it? Why haven't you raised the level cap? Its been stuck at lvl 30 since the day the game released. Give us some hints already! While many of the changes that have been made have really improved the gameplay compared to the original release, most of the changes are focused on the PvP side of the game and that simply does not appeal to many of us. Are you just going to ignore the story until you release the next game in this franchise or are you actually planning to put out expansions that focus on telling more of the story? What happened to Bliss, did he die in the crash or did he get away? What about Agent Keener and the Russian virologist that he kidnapped? What happened to April Kelleher? Are we to assume that the Cleaners, the Rikers, and the LMB all gave up and turned themselves in? That can't be right because when I run around in the city I run into groups of them.
Oh and for the love of God, what happens after we shoot down the helicopter and end up having to listen to Aaron Keener rub our noses in the fact that he won!?!?!? Yes we get a pat on the back and an attaboy, but that's where it ends. Why?
Sorry if this turned into a sort of rant, that really was not my intention. I just really thought that we would have more story content by now instead of everything having been focused on PvP.
