[SPOILERS] Skyscrapers New Game Mode - Are you Excited
Upcoming PVE Focused Re-playable Game Modes For DIVISION 2
Are You Excited and what are your thoughts on the news so far?
Per yesterdays SOTG (2020/05/27 Episode #161) it was confirmed by Yannick that work is under way on new PVE focused game modes. Yannick's exact words were
"Yes we are working on new PVE game modes"
That statement was plural and not singular meaning game modes. This could have been a slip of the tongue or it could be exactly what Yannick said; game modes. So far we know of just the one game mode called Skyscraper but the team could be working on 1 or more additional game modes. While Skyscraper sounds like it could satisfy player requests for a successor to Resistance the team will need to provide more then just the one Skyscraper game mode if they hope to meet the demand for re-playable game modes in The Division 2.
According to Yannick Skyscraper is a re-playable PVE game mode that is still several months out so don't ask them for any additional information about it for now. The fact that we know they are working on re-playable game modes (thanks to the PTS) brings hope to many who had given up on the requests for re-playable game modes. Even as of now Yannik was clear that the goal with these game modes is to create new modes that gain inspiration from the popular game modes in the first Division game. This is why Skyscraper (according to the leaks and not Yannik) sounds like a mix-up of Resistance and Underground; a horde like game mode set in dynamically generated levels.
Are you excited to know that Massive is working on 1 or more re-playable PVE focused game modes?
Are you looking forward to Skyscraper amusing its released like or close to how its been described so far in the leaks?
Whats more important, that these new game modes only be inspired by their predecessors and thus have little in common or do they need to have more in common then perhaps Massive would like?
What about mixed mode like what Survival and Last Stand offered? Should at least one of the new game modes allow for some form of PVP? Conflict is PVP only and available at launch however the PVP community is just as deserving of new game modes as the PVE side so should at least one of the upcoming game modes support some level of PVP engagements? If Massive does the right thing and produces a proper successor (not copy or clone) of Survival, a BR like game mode that like the first Survival takes the best parts of the core game and wraps it up within a 1- 2 hour time limit then at least 1 game mode will be such that it can work for both PVE and PVP players.
Any other thoughts on re-playable game modes?
