    Pandering to the D1 community out of desperation was a Massive mistake

    Look, Breakpoint flopped pretty hard. The last Assasins Creed didn't go as well as planned, and For Honor has been back and forth since release. You've had some rocky roads lately, becoming worried is understandable.

    However, you had a pretty good thing going with The Division 2. You really did. But....you got greedy.

    The last thing you should have done, was hope to please some youtubers and pray they would give the exposure you want to reach the profit margin you wanted. They will say anything for a view and we all know it.

    Why would you think we would listen to anything they would say when we already watched them condemn the game because it wasn't like the division 1? They all jumped on the hype train and created the "Why I left the division 2" making nonsensical videos trying to ride the wave because they were desperate....just like you.

    You should have listened to the logical.players not blinded by nostalgia from d1, and supported and nurtured the smaller youtubers being objective and loyal. You could have continued to grow and grow this franchise.

    But, all you did, was make expose yourselves for the greedy and inconsiderate company you are, show how poorly you program, and put your ignorance of all things balance on display for the world to see.

    Anyway, hope you've "learned your lesson"...
    AGAIN.

    What? The game was a failure in every way.


    It needed this revamp, and now it has a chance. We got more new blood thanks to the cheap sale of the base, and now it has plenty people watching on twitch. Things are looking well, and my clan is active and full of life.


    This game was on its last leg because it listen to the wrong people before. They understood that, and changed it. Now we need to not listen to you, to keep this game alive.

    You forget that you've got an influx of players who joined pre-WONY. A time when they were getting familiar and used to game being that "manageable", when you're able to solo hard with just a few days of playing. You'll lose more new blood with them knowing the game they thought they're getting a grasp on only got harder and more boring for all the wrong reasons.

    The game wasn't bad pre-WONY, it still isn't that bad after. But should they continue listening to toxic people like you, it'll only bleed out players. Your clan's only gonna get more inactive, seeing there are better games to play than a broken unfair game. It's happening everywhere, you're just disillusioned to believe like every other fool who thinks this way.

    But hey, dead games are fun because there are no noobs to encounter, right?

    It just scared off all the new players, it's failing hard on ALL social media, which includes twitch.

    If you think 30k views is good for an expansion that was this hyped up is good, you are sorely mistaken.

    In a couple weeks, everyone will have forgotten Warlords of New York even existed which is sad.

    This expansion and revamp has been so bad someone will surely be demoted or let go.

    You only speak for yourself dude. Don't act like you know the minds of others. The game is full of people right now.

    What are you talking about? That is darn good for this type of game. You must be crazy, to think that it is failing. It is hard for a game that failed that hard to build back up like this.


    I mean you could be right about people forget. I mean people move on quick, but the game got a second chance and so far it is working out well. I know this might upset some of you people who hate the changes, but to be happy with the failure that this game was before is just silly. The amount of players it had was small, all because they listen to the wrong people. We all left because they made the game too easy, and boring. Now that we got a end game. We got to use cover. Having time of my life.


    I left when they ruined division 2, and now I am back. If they ruined the game for you. leave like i did. After all, when I said I did not like the changes...that is what I got told.

    Anecdotal evidence is sophomoric and erroneous.

    For instance, I've never had a problem match making and seen people in random safe houses all the time.

    See how that works?

    Or you could just be wrong and upset that this game has more players, and what it had like 300 people watching before this update? That changes made to the game you don't like..got some life into the game, and refuse to see it?

    Seems about right.

    You are so full of it. This game was just fine prior to Gear 2.0. When you had a good build you were God. It felt damn good to be powerful. Apparently, people like yourself, don't like other people enjoying a game where you feel powerful.

    It wasn't so much that the game was changed, it is HOW they did it. Stats were completely randomized. Entire builds that existed literally didn't exist anymore.

    I have played this franchise since the day Division 1 released. Even 1.3/1/4 wasn't this bad. On D2 alone I have 12 d 13 h 43 m played. This is even having a 9year old and 7mo old to take care of. My entire clan stopped played this game the day after WoNY launched because the entire year we had been playing and enjoyed watching the game grow and improve was shot down in a single expansion. Do you honestly have any idea how demoralizing it is to have a game so casually ignore the time you spent in it? Or the games developers for that matter. To hell with our time we spent playing the game how we wanted to play and how they said it could be played, all of it solo mind you, with a plethora of choices in talents and perks for gear. Now the entire game has been made worse, I AM level 40. My gear score is 893 and I am simply not finding upgrades.

    Worst of all of this? I had finally convinced my wife to play this game with me after she played Division 1 with me and she loved her classy Tacticians build. If it could be set on fire, she would set it on fire.

    Finally I got her to join me in D2 after many many updates finally made the game fun. You guys know what fun is right? Pleasure? Enjoyment? The feeling you get when you dont have to slog through a missions hoping to game jesus that the elite guys we have now aren't just gonna ignore the fact that there are 2 turrets and 2 physical Assault rifles shooting at them. That ain't fun. Slogging through a challenging mission, while not necessarily getting beat up, but the feeling of insanity ensues where you shoot one veteran or elite guy for 2 to 3 magazines and never really feel like you are accomplishing anything. When she logged in MArch 2nd, and seen what the dingleberries at Massive had done to her build, she just turned the game off. Hasn't gotten back on since.

    I'm fairly sure there are a ton of players that did just that. Why should we continue to give our time to a group of developers that have plainly made it clear that they dont value the common man, they only care for the twitch streamer.

    I don't play games to get my *** kicked, if I wanted that sort of shooter experience there are far better games out there to choose from. I play these games because through progression you are supposed to overcome your enemies. We never overcome them truly. Maybe we stand somewhat even, but that's it.

    Sure there's dudes here that will try and convince you that all is right in the world of division, that they can all solo heroic with pistols and that their minority experience invalidates what a majority of us here at this site alone, alongside reddit, and other forum sites all agree that the game is not in a good place. Before the update, you could do a lot of the game solo, and with differing levels of difficulty. Where if you played too aggressive, you could get your peepee slapped, but generally you were able to compile a build that was servicable. Now? With the massive reduction of available talents, we are neutered. The enemies all got a trifecta buff, and we have been cut by half of our ability and power.

    This update alone has made me painfully aware that unless **** changes, there's not a chance of snow in hell that I would ever pay money for another Division title. Breakpoint was a let down in Ghost Recon terms but was a fun game to still just go waste time in. I cant even do that here because now a quick "hey I've got a few minutes to blow, I'll get on and run Jefferson to see if I can get another Merciless to drop", now it's "hey lets spend 45 minutes just trying to get through what used to take me 20" Because nothing screams fun and enjoyment like playing chicken dance around cover with a elite heavy with a shield that is made from Thor's Hammer shards.
