Let's discuss about the summit.
First thing first. I am not a big fan of the underground myself. I am more of a Survival in TD 1. I have not done summit yet on pts and I don't think I will either because just watching your video and hearing all the info about it, lets me know what it is all about. I think that the underground in Div 1 was a lot better compared to the summit and I get it. I understand why they called that unlike underground is basically underground. I think rewards will do will for the underground, but it will be repetitive regardless because we see how Div 1 underground was.
I would rather see them making survival for Division 2 more and it's not because I am biased, but its because survival is much more fun. The way you do things in survival and have nothing, to begin with beside a pistol.
Either way, I hope they fix the summit after the PTS and make it much more enjoyable. I would like to give it a try, but I am not 100 percent thrill about it.
I don't know what you guys think about it or have done the PTS for that TU11.
What's your thoughts about the Summit for the new TU 11?
Currently my expectations for The Summit aren't that high. I basically expected, what now can be seen and played on the PTS. It's seems to be a nice, enjoyable game mode, but it is not something groundbreaking. It's not a complete new way of playing TD2 and does not really add any twists or surprises (yet).
It seems to be a solid mix of Underground from TD1 and the OW activities of TD2. I don't really like comparing it with Resistance, because this is not a real horde-mode. Playing from floor 1 to 100 is just like playing two or three 3-phases Underground mission on normal difficulty, then three times three phases on hard, same on challenging and heroic and finally legendary difficulty. The Summit is basically stacked Underground-missions with different difficulties. (Especially as sooner or later players will start skipping the easier floors – which is very much unlike a horde mode, in which you cannot choose to skip the first waves.)
BUT
this is only a free add-on to the WoNY-DLC. So it's like the the free episodes we got after purchasing the main game. And well... what would I prefer? Pentagon- and DARPA-style missions? Or a mode like The Summit? Of course I would choose The Summit. I think it will add a few more options from which to pick what to play – but I don't expect it to become my new favorite game mode. Having said that, I would still happily pay for a good, enjoyable Survival-DLC in TD2.
I tested the summit. Like it is right now is a mode to do a few times if the rewards are fine.It is repetitive and boring. The legendary is not so challenge like a legendary mission.
People want a Survival or underground mode like the Div1. I think if the use the existing CP and missions to do some new mode or more legendary missions would be better. NY missions aren't appeling, they could do better with these missions.
