    Where is the Division actually heading?

    I was ranting in another post when I realized something:

    This game/loot treadmill is heading exactly nowhere.

    We (as our fantasy avatar) are working towards nothing at this point. There is no singular villain at the heart of the Underground. We don't dynamite the tunnels and end the threat, nada. You get your fashion accessory (if you don't have too much in your closet already, oops) and it's done. Wtf?

    Did Bliss die too early? Keener is long gone afaik. What the hell are we doing? Why haven't we just gotten lazy and started guiding artillery into stuff like CS and DN? What are we doing exactly? Did I miss a conversation with Faye?

    This is part of the reason I think "Division 2" is a non-starter -- there's no story left. We killed Bliss, but what happened then? Nothing. The regular army didn't come in and clean up the DZ; normalcy has not been restored.

    Far as I can tell, there's no recovery to be had from the outbreak -- it's not like there's a regular world outside New York that's functional and normal. Keener is therefore no threat, even with his recipe book. What's he gonna do, threaten to create another outbreak if he doesn't get a bajillion dollars? There's nobody in power left to threaten.

    I'd love to see a mission unlock at 35-40 where we actually fight a notable threat. Give the UG an End boss already. Make it cost 20 Directive Intel too.

    In fact, we had the perfect chance for it but they used it for the intro mission (rave).

    Perhaps they could get Andy Griffith from Spy Hard, perfect villain for this game.

    You could finish him off with a great one liner like, "I would shake your hand, but I don't know where it landed"

    I want Buddy from Six String Samurai "If I were you, I'd run" "If you were me, you'd be good looking".

    I fixed the med wing 6 months ago and Fae Lau is still on crutches with a bloody bandage over her eye.

    Even the NPCs are incompetent.

    Where is The Division heading?

    My guess would be the bargain bin at Walmart.

    Survival is actually a Ground Hog Day themed DLC. We realize that it's still winter outside because it's actually still the week that the second wave got activated.

    Survival will include:

    - piano lessons
    - memory games : "where will the npc who complains about his back be at exactly 12:03 pm?"
    - hours of game play where the singular goal is not eating a bullet. When you do give in and try to end it, you wake up the previous morning still alive.
