    Thinking about returning - questions

    My wife and I picked this up after 1.8 came out and had a hella good time, but eventually lost interest in repetitive gameplay and lousy Classified RNG,. Came back to try 1.8.1, but were disappointed at lack of new content. Anything changed since then? I read that there might have been a new update in June or July. I'm guessing that most dev resources are going to D2 and we are looking forward to that, but we're jonesing for some more Division fun if there's new fun to be had.

    Any news? Thanks.

    No, don't bother. PvE can be fun for a while but as you say, the repetitive gameplay is dull. Then you move on to pvp; which is basically call of duty as everyone is running the striker build but with 2 of 3 weapons, house, lwm4 or showstopper. So even that's dull as...

    Survival is quite good and an under rated mode. Give that a good go if you havent before.

    GOt a few new legendarys since 1.8 but thats about it. You can get your classified fix during the GE's which run monthly from here on out i think. The vaunted Striker will be in the next one.

    Boris Badanov and Natasha Kinski, a dastardly pair of criminals, had to chuckle when I read your agent name, absolutely classic cartoons I grew up watching, Rocky and Bullwinkle.

    Sadly with the D2 development there is not much news at D1, the update was 1.8.2 which introduced Shield activities that give rewards for D1 but may carry some thing over into D2 but they are just rehashing content in a package event list. But they are something to do, I did have fun but they do not take a huge amount of time to complete.
    It also nerfed Predators Mark and Nomad armour and was supposed to nerf Striker ? shotgun meat but it appears nothing changed on that front.

    There is a wide range of activities but you need to see what suits you, but nothing much has changed or will change given D1 has been parked for all out effort on D2, so for 8 months, make your own fun.

    Come back and do the shield achievements. Other than that it's your preference.

    Don’t waste your time... I’ve tried giving this game a chance and it’s just not there. Take my word or don’t. PVE is just burned out with repetitiveness. PVP is a clown show, anybody that says otherwise is not truly a PVPer. The way this game was left has me skeptical about even attempting Division 2. I will keep my eyes on forums after release of TD2 to see if it’s a repeat TD1.
