    Support Station

    How many of you misses the support station ? I'd rather playing using the support station on this useless Hive . The support station was much much more fun in the division 1 .
    Compared to this new hive with the only revive system that is worthy to be holded . The rest of the hive types feels useless specially the heal hive .

    I hope the developers read this and start thinking to bring us the support station soon as possible to the game .

    Personally, I think support station broke PvP and made content too easy in the first game. I like the new ways of healing but the problem with healing is this.

    Players only ever heal to heal themselves. If you stop that players will stop using it, right?

    So, how can you make healing a thing? Well, you build missions, encounters, or scenarios in which it would be more viable to run it.
    But if you can't self-heal through damage? What is the point, right? Well, you are basically coercing and reinforcing the habits healers tend to have in other games. Checking health (armor) bars of team-mates and maintaining the group to heal. If you increase output of healing towards allies. Players will do two things, they will start using it to help team-mates but this could resort to meta like the first game, right? Well, if you create content that have dps checks. You'll now need players to DPS and given the current situation of the game. Skill Power build for anything come at a major cost.

    Now what about PvP? Simple tone down healing effectiveness in Normalized zones.
