    Skirmish matchmaking is broken

    Skating NPCs

    Shall I continue?
    I agree but pvp seems perfectly playable at lvl 29 or wahtever its called. Its the group vs unknown quantity thats the issue. Yesterday I went through the dz for one last time..... went up against 2 rogues with another solo. Killed one then died. Only just. Then the other rogue was killed. Killed two more rogues and one manhunt without dying. All that with my hexo build & an emp nade vs strikers. Then they teamed up and I didnt bother. 3 strikers vs 1 hexo is pointless - at least for someone of my pvp ability! :/

    As for the other stuff.... well yeah its not the best experience tbs. I think most players just overlook these issues though for the overall experience.

    You missed the invisible inventory bug.

    Everything can be fixed or replaced/recoded, the real reason behind the launch of The Division 2 is not because The Division is broken it's because it was originally a massive flop, the launch of The Division 2 is an attempt at both retaining it's current player base and capturing / appealing to more.

    I doubt however that anything can be done about Cronus Max cheaters because the consoles won't recognize it as a cheat.
    The game is beyond being patched. It would have to be rebuilt and that would cost the same as new game and would never make the money back.
    Starting over is the only thing that makes sense.

    The Division is being crushed under it's own weight with patches on patches on patches.
    It's a good game but it needs a fresh start.

    Massive has stated multiple times they can't can't fix anti-cheat and other issues due to Netcode. While I agree this is going to make them a lot of money potentially, if they fix most of what has been listed in this thread it will be money well spent.

    I am sure this wasn't the plan, and I am not looking forward to spending another $60+ on a new game, but as everyone said. You can only keep slapping on so many bandages. I don't think the Division was that bad (for a first try). However, I am fully expecting D2 to be a 5 year (minimum game). Look at GTAV still chugging along.

    Will they release an offline patch for single-player TD1 then? If it's broken and they don't plan on supporting it.

    D2 is needed because D1 is broken and cant be fixed, anything that does get fixed breaks something else.
