Is this game going to have RPG element in this game? | Forums

hello, just like the title says will this game have what the division has where you have to upgrade you gear and guns?

[UbiKeeba]

Upgrading is not accurate, as there are no levels for weapons. However, you will be able to unlock different attachments and such for your weapons.

Only RPG element in this game is a cartel member firing one at you. Oh and some leveling, i guess there is leveling

[AI BLUEFOX]

Yeah, but levelling and unlocks isn't really RPG or the original was an RPG!

[ES-Ulukai]

Many shooters have leveling and unlocks and they are not rpg !

When playing GR 1 you unlocked specialist news weapons and every missions succed you had points to add on you teams, wasn't a rpg though !

Yet, it was unnecessary, even more so with GRWL.

So it's useless with almost ... all games
I hope like you that the game will not include unlocks that affect to much the gameplay, to keep the shooting mechanics clean and based on skill.
That said you also need to have unlocks to keep people intrested in the game with a progresssion system. Now video games work like that.

It's maybe not the best evolution of video games but it's something necessary so that the game can attract any type of player.
Nothing here show us that we will not have a hardcore mode with everything unlocked

I have never been able to understand that... Why? If the game is good enough why would people not be interested on it?
I can understand 8 to 12 year old kids with heavy OCD that need constant gratification but not grown ups... if the game is immersive enough and with a good story, good mechanics there shouldn't be a need for me to unlock the best weapon only to be able to use it on the last mission, what good is that?

but exactly... what type of player is that???

The Division isn't really an RPG. The upgrading system i noticed in the technical test was very similar. In the Division you just add attachments to your weapons and hope for better stats on them. Once you get the best gear that's it. Just takes a bit of crafting and farming but is not difficlut to do. Maxed my gear in 2 weeks. In this you level which unlocks weapons and skills and you can also make adjustments to attachments. I expect upgrading will come slowly.
