    Can we get some honesty and transparency from you guys at last?

    You kept saying you were transparent.
    You kept saying you were listening that you care.

    But what happens to TD1 now? Will there be anymore patches / updates? Just be forthright.
    What bugs are not being worked on/ can't be bothered to fix/ don't know how to fix? For example, Survival sharing glitch, Gearset glitching, Grenade pre-stagger, EMP bug, skill lock, skill delay.

    Can you be honest about what you're going to talk about and when?

    For example the DZ and anticheat, it took until the last day at E3 before Yannick finally said we are not talking about the DZ or anticheat, but at the same time admitting you knew this was a very important topic (the most for some) for the community. So why not manage expectations before?
    Same for shields, you said in the SOTG you would talk about the shields at E3. It took numerous repeated questions before you finally gave a short answer without any details. It appears there was no prep. And the shields themselves are really unimaginative.

    Also, SOTG's that were known not to be taking place in advance because of other plans were not communicated until the last moment. Eg. national holidays, workshops, holidays, trying to preserve ep100 etc.. When you closed E3 you said see you in SOTG and then you didn't even have one.

    Lastly it looks like you turned the Division 2 into a Wildlands sequel, lacking any depth and making it a super casual arcade game. Is this true or was the E3 demo a poor representation for the game we should expect? The 'revised DZ' is the biggest concern though.

    Not expecting anyone on the CM team to read this, but anyone else share this view?

    They specifically stated that 1.8.2. is the last patch.

    Cannot be more forthright than that, can they?

    So with a sequel coming March 2019 you honestly think they will leave D1 in the state its in, 1 ruling gear set, still day 1 bugs and just hope people buy the sequel.

    Yeah right, I pre ordered Anthem, lost me when that guy at E3 talking to skill up was so please the same team that ruined D1 are the same team that will ruin D2.

    How long before the ninja buffs to npc, nerfs nerfs nerfs its all coming.

    While 1.8.2 might be the last client update they planned to release, there still exists the possibility of server-side updates and maintenance, some of the issue in the game should be possible to alleviate without altering the client.

    It's a matter of having the resources and will to do so.

    This is like asking a used car salesman to be honest just before he tries to sell you a second car. It ain't gonna happen

    The demo I saw had a four-man team clearing an area before moving on and clearing another area. That's what we do now, how were you expecting it to change?
    The game didn't look any more casual than it does now. They had the same mechanics, same cover system, same lumbering bosses. It's basically the same.

    Apart from the menus looking a bit nicer, it looks like a new level in the same game to be honest. The DZ doesn't matter to me as long as they don't force us in there to get weeklies and dailies. If the DZ was accidentally wiped from the new game I wouldn't even notice.

    Going on the gameplay shown, it'll be the same but hopefully with less bugs, fingers crossed
