The division players are not all toxic
The division is the main reason why I traded my old PS3 to a PS4. I was attracted by this game from the trailers on YouTube. Despite the controversy around it, this is the actual first game that attracted me to PVP and multiplayer.
I believe today that if you are good on a pvp side of the division, you will definitely be good at any other pvp game.
This being said, I would like to share a story.
A week ago, as I decided to hit back on Survival (not my fav dlc), I was having quite some luck, most of the players were leaving the server being downed by NPC or killed by the cold; so every player death location was a source of loot. I had more syringes sadly I could not take them all. so after crafting a proper sniper and AR with enough warming clothes, I decided to go for the DZ and extract. As I was moving to get the serum, I saw a player fighting quite a large number of NPCs so I decided to help him and together we defeated our opponents. He had a Turret and a First Aid as skills and I had a Turret and pulse. So he send me a request to group up and there we were making the perfect match. I pulse and spot the threat while he uses his first aid in case I needed it.
We had no mic and I was just following him clearing landmarks, defeating named bosses and picking up loot. He was obviously better equipped than me.
We then decided to go for extraction and on DZ02 on the rooftop, he called up for extraction and quickly ran off to the opposite top building to spot and snipe the hunters so I followed him and it was quite hard. The first trial was not successfully. Then when we went to the saferoom and I switched to the seeker mine.
Went back to the same spot, called up extraction and ran back to the opposite building and sniping the hunter. Was hell of hard but we managed to kill them. Only 15 secs left before our bird takes off and I quickly ran to board the chopper and him too. I messaged him and he replied with an obvious broken english (the guy was japanese):
Me: Thank you, I don't think I would've made it without your help
Him: Welcome pal. me to thank you. 1 month ago, I was rushed by 2 rogues on the same extraction when I went to the DZ, they downed me and out nowehere you came and killed them all, revived me and salute me. don't know but I am bad at pvp but that day I was extracting my very first exotic loot and that's thanks to you.
Gosh, he remembered that I revived him and killed 2 rogues when he was extracting.
This is why I love this game.
Not all players are toxic
