    Just got The Division a day or 2 ago, can't log in to play!

    I will NEVER buy another "ONLINE ONLY" game ever again!!!!! I have this game on PC and PS4 and I think it's a pretty good game, but not being able to play the game because of Server Downtime is HORRIBLE!!!! I'm gonna sell my PS4 version back to Gamestop. Unfortunately, I won't be able to get a refund for my PC purchase. Ubisoft, you make great games, but this "ONLINE ONLY" sucks!!!! From what I've read on the internet, this game is dead already. So why not make it in Offline mode too? I don't play multiplayer anyhow. I prefer Single Player. A customer should NOT be forced to only play online!!! I hate to say it, but I probably will never buy another game from Ubisoft. This is ridiculous!!

    Servers are down for maintenance. It's a few hours a week, no biggie mate.

    It is a biggie. I want to play the game right now and I can't because it's "online only."

    A lot of games are now online only and will occasionally go offline for maintenance.

    Relax...

    Why buy a game that is solely client-server based if that's a dealbreaker? Twice even...

    Pretty sure you're full of crap.

    1. You bought the game 2 days ago and havent been able to play it. How do you know it's a pretty good game?

    2. Assuming you you had the PC prior to purchasing the PS4 version, you would have known about server maintenance and you wouldnt be in here crying like a little ****bag over a few hours down time.

    3. If you dont want to play online only games, i suggest saving some money and buying the NES reboot. It comes out in November.

    4. When you want to play that "Customer is always right" card, just try to remember this...

    If this game was a solo game, and wasn't online only everyone would be crying "this game needs multiplayer, Ubi give us multiplayer ASAP plox"! So what to developers do? They give us a multiplayer game that can be played solo.

    And what do we do? We cry "Ubisoft this game should have solo offline mode. Give us solo offline mode ASAP plox"! So what do developers do? They go home and eat dinner with their wives and kids slowly lose hope in humanity.

    it's like everyone calls for progress, but nobody actually wants to move forwards and make that progress.

    Ok, so say you get your offline mode. Welcome to no updates, no matchmaking, no ability to do content above hard. No fixes or patches (because you don't want server downtime either). You'd get about 30 hours gametime for your dollars.

    Nope, give me always online all day long.

    Is this a serious post? If so, what century are you in? Most all games require an online connection to x company's servers in order to play it. This game does for sure. Why do you need 2 copies of the same game on a PC. You stated in your first sentence you already have the game on PC. You make no sense, and like others are saying they have weekly maintenance.

    Closing this thread.

    Weekly maintenance are necessary for the servers and have been on going since the launch of the game.
