I feel like there is so much in the way of missed opportunities for the community of the Division with having such a vanilla experience with the Current Map.
if you look at E3 from 2014 up to the release of the game there was so much promise and as we now know it was altered/changed for whatever reason; it has still been an overall good experience (minus patch 1.3)
The map needs to be updated and expanded into central park and Brooklyn and even further (free for all players), because as it sits now there just isn't enough to do. For instance, Survival is fun... but I wish there was a mode for survival or a tiered experience to where when you beat survival you can take 1 item from your stash or inventory into survival with you.. because whats the point in grinding for loot when the DLC doesn't even allow you to use said loot??
Unlocking more of the map would bring in new content variety, new experiences and memorable gameplay. The Manhattan Bridge and Manhattan overall could allow for more variety and content. by adding more to the map it would allow for there to be multiple DZ areas which would only help the game... While we are on the Dark Zone... it needs to be re-worked. There is no point to it because there isn't anything unique to get out of it gear or weapon wise... There is a major opportunity to add Missions that start in the PVE area and flow through the DZ and into other expanded map areas. All MMO's I have played have had missions in the PVP areas that aren't just Kill each other and everything, but it would be a unique experience to have quests or missions in the DZ that lead to community encounters or instances... I mean how cool would it be to be doing a mission in the DZ and then over the division agents comm link there is a SOS signal for an area in the DZ that requires all agents to work together to stop a major incursion.
I doubt anyone will read this or comment but is there any plans to expand the map or add DZ areas to build on the core experience because its been almost a year and there needs to be map expansion into new areas of New York and just overall DZ reworking to make it mean something other than going rogue and then dying and then repeating.
I was thinking the same thing once I posted this. I was trying to stay on point but with every sentence I thought of something else I wanted to say haha.Originally Posted by MalibuMafiaV Go to original post
I think expanding the map to other areas of New York is the only option at this point. Adding content to the current map wont improve on anything.
I feel like there is room to grow in year 2, but a lot of the last few months have been fixing the core of the game so content was put on hold in my opinion. I don't know anything about coding games but I am sure adding New map areas to the core game wouldn't be too difficultOriginally Posted by nuclearbroccoli Go to original post
Completely agree. Adding content is great and all... but we need new scenery. We need new areas to explore etcOriginally Posted by SniperHawk29 Go to original post
I can understand adding more map would take A LOT of work. I use to work for EA and build maps for games like Red Alert. It isn't easy.
But regardless they have the money and the resources to do so... so yes it shouldn't be a problem.
Given the story isnt progressing at all at this point...and all the mini games they keep adding that are not pushing the story onward, I think this iteration is done. This is why they wont expand the map because if and when they go to Div 2, its going to be a new city/location and NYC will just fall. They have no story plan for us to retake the DZ so if the DZ remains, so does the virus and the chaos behind the walls. If we move to a new city/location then there will be a New DZ to fight in as it sounds like at least from Rick Velassi's radio talk that most major cities around the US have succumbed to the green poison. Ultimatly we loose this fight and what we are fhtiging for is pretty irrelevant since it does not look like the good agents will prevail...only the back stabbing rogues will be around sooner or later...
Gotta save something for the movie!

It would be awesome to expand to use the Manhattan Bridge and Manhattan, Central Park would also be pretty cool. So many options/locations to expand the map for the communityOriginally Posted by DevilSpike Go to original post
