    Should i risk buy?

    1. How much the expansion is worth? Except the fact that i am outraged that they made the enemies more bulletsponge, give me some pro and cons, would like to decide if 30$ are worth or not. Still, i have small hopes that Ubisoft might balance this in the near future
    2. As side questions. When deleting a character, if you have another, all that are in the stash will still be there, correct? What about if you delete your only character? It's like a game over and you have to start from beginning with everything? Also, about the library, if you extract something, those will be permanently there, right? No chance to remove, only to replace the existent one with a more powerful one? And last one, did anyone from the staff mentioned if in the future will be possible to equip more than 1 exotic?

    1) No. All of this will change dramatically. It is too broken and too beta. Unless you love the lore, this is a hard pass right now.

    Change how? In better or in worse? Should i not risk at all eve after 1-2 months or so, or not risk at all and just stick to lvl 30 stuff?

    If i was going to keep playing, i wouldnt buy the expansion yet, unless you dont mind redoing everything later, which i do, because i been there done that in 2019 already.

    How will it all change? I have no idea. At this point, i wouldn't be surprised if somehow it became a FIFA game.

    Ignore the whining about bullet sponginess - they're almost all talking about higher difficulty settings. Today's SOTG said they are looking at rebalancing difficulty scaling for Challenging and (to a lesser extent) heroic, but that might take awhile.

    In terms of value, only you can decide if a new world map, access to seasons, new gear brands, gear sets, skills and weapons is worth the price of entry. The core elements of the game remain there, and the Lower Manhattan map is great.

    2. As side questions. When deleting a character, if you have another, all that are in the stash will still be there, correct? What about if you delete your only character? It's like a game over and you have to start from beginning with everything?
    I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here - why would you delete all of your characters? Nobody still playing the game is going to do that as an experiment.

    Also, about the library, if you extract something, those will be permanently there, right? No chance to remove, only to replace the existent one with a more powerful one?
    Correct. You cannot overwrite something in the library with a lower value.

    And last one, did anyone from the staff mentioned if in the future will be possible to equip more than 1 exotic?
    You are still restricted to one exotic gear item + one exotic weapon. There has been no mention of that changing.

    How about the other things? Directives XP, all 5? Open World rewards? About the Watch leveling up, how much is that helping?

    This is one of those things that only you can decide whether it was worth it or not, and not if it is.

    As for your side questions:
    When deleting a character, if you have another, all that are in the stash will still be there, correct? : Yes.
    What about if you delete your only character? : No.
    Also, about the library, if you extract something, those will be permanently there, right? Yes.
    And last one, did anyone from the staff mentioned if in the future will be possible to equip more than 1 exotic? : not that I know.

    Well, from what i can see from gameplay, the rogue agents random encounter makes it more interesting, and as i see, it's harder than a hunter to kill. What about the rumored balance about the damage you give and the damage you receive from NPCs? Did someone from the staff told when will be this balanced?
    As for the other parts of the expansion, can't say i didn't waited from Division 1 to kill Keener and some other rogues, but what about the rest? Is the content enough?

    Define "helping". What are you looking for out of the expansion? Only you can decide based on what you consider important.
