    What's killing me in Survival

    It's not the cold, it's not the infection, it's not the NPC's or the Hunters.

    No what's killing me in Survival is Lag.

    Played all day yesterday in the open world and it was pretty stable, best it's been for a long time, after I'd done all all four toons missions I decided to go into Survival for some fun. Holy crap what kind of junk server are you running for that?????? Every time I came within spitting distance of any NPC the lag would start.

    The Division doesn't have the performance pre-requisite for hard PvE / PvP content.
    As long as this is not corrected the whole "hard content" / "one life mode" / "glass cannon builds" are pointless.

    I would rather have had a 1.5 patch with no new stuff but huge amount of bug correction, graphics optimisation, client/server optimisation, rather than re-starting the grind and a whole new lot of bugs (and old bugs making their come back).

    Yes "new lewt" and new gank zone is so kwel, it'll bring back the customers....
    Yes boss, we made it, see the figures !!!


    Meh.... What brought back the customer was Black Friday sales.

    What do you think will happen after the new players experience a few Larae Barrett bug, a few death from First Aid lag, a few MIKE while playing survival, server lag in the DZ ?

    A game free from bug ensure player retention and game durability

    Yeah I know that but do you honestly think they do, people will leave for the sheer lack of any feasible content, no endgame and no story driven expansions that widen and improve on the map.

    I hardly play this game anymore because of the awful lack of content, there is 0 new stuff coming in with the new GS/gear and weapons I mean what are we supposed to use all this shiny new Gear on.
    All we have are the same missions we've already done 10,000 times before in the last 9 months (For an open world RPG) this game is lacking in every aspect of Online open world RPG's (and yes it is a open world RPG heck they still advertise it as that on their site)

    Yes TD is failed in its promise for an open world RPG. It's a coop PVE with instance. Same as borderlands.
    What struck me most is that when you play side missions the blueprints you gain are still with low levels, so even during the 1-30 main campaign the "free roaming" is terribly limited.

    They really should remove levels from blueprints (create items at your GS / character level) so when playing main mission you could actually try to craft things.
    With appropriate mat requirements even "End-game content" could benefit from this change.
    But... I'm dreaming.

    I'm just praying that Day Z gets released on console (you know a real survival game with the added P v P/PK kind of stuff ) been playing Day Z and the mod/standalone now for 4 years on PC a real survival game in a great map, it's fun engaging and one hell of a good time.

    yeah you get killed but unlike this game you have plenty to do and survive no timer just pure survival fun (and if you get killed you lose everything even the shirt on your back I got killed once after surviving for 105 hours with some brilliant gear ) but it didn't matter the game is so engaging and fun (everything this game isn't especially the new Survival DLC which I have played.

    Personally survival in this game won't last 2 weeks let alone 4 years.

    The endless delta errors are killing me, I load the game up and within minutes disconnected, I can resume session but the same thing happens again.
    This has now spread into the main game too.
    I was trying to collect Intel for hvts, and I must of delta 10 times just trying to finish the first 3.
    The servers are in a very poor state, I am not sure what they have done with them.
    But they can't hope that so many players return and not give the capacity to cope with demand.
    Every patch has issues and I am close to breaking point finally with this game.
    Also the loot drops in the lz are more or less bon existent, the game will never be repaired I fear.
    I have waited, stayed loyal and supported there efforts to fix this game.

    Before 1.5 no lag, game was running fine, after 1.5 lags, bugs, I hope Ubi will drop out a fixing patch soon.

    Most likely not. I figure once Final Stand drops UBI will drop support on the game and within a month or two the servers will shut down. No one on my PL is playing really they just drop into the game and pick up their goodies on the 1st and 15th and that's it. I guess there hoping for some kind of great revelation on the part of Massive and they actually do something to save the game and make it worth playing again.
