Will the DZ or Conflict ever be competitive? They're obviously trying to make it easier to get into PvP, so will it ever be something interesting or worthy of you following a content creator to see how they PvP?
Will the new role system ever be competitive with other mmo type games? Is it deep enough to offer an engaging experience compared to other rpg/mmo/clan type of games?
No. At least not for competitive PvP. By competitive PVP I assume you mean like for esports. Game would need to be a lot less susceptible to exploits and it would need the ability to create non-public sessions. Without those things, it cant even be considered. Then the next problem would be that the PvP in this game really boils down to luck/time spent grinding in PvE. It is more about the gear you walk in with more than the skill and expertise and mastery.
If they're not going for that, then why did they dumb it down so much?
I mean, at this point, it seems like conflict would be better if they had premade characters, kind of how DCUO does Legends.
At least that way, they could actually get some use out of all the youtubers they paid to promote WoNY. Because right now, The Division is getting absolutely destroyed on YouTube. I haven't seen one video over 600k.
