    Did the game get turned up?

    Just jumped in the game and While open world soloing heroic I immediately ran into a hostage situation and then Before i could finish the second wave an enemy supply convoy showed up and then a elite patrol came and then another elite patrol arrived and then a named boss and his goons made an appearance and then two rogue agents materialized who then chased me into a territory control where i finally met my death when a aerial drone appeared over head. I respawned and when i exited the safe house there was a supply convoy so i attacked and immediately hear “incoming hostiles detected” as a group of 6-7 more dudes come running up behind me as i again hear “ incoming hostile detected” as another wave of dudes from the left are closing in and I haven’t even killed the original supply convoy yet. It just seemed extra crazy tonight , I’m not complaining, I know a lot of people hate when that but these are my favorite moments in the game. It’s these tense moments of chaos and excitement while facing overwhelming odds are what keep me playing.

    People are going to say no but it certainly feels like it lately.

    I also enjoy those crazy hectic moments in the game but it seems like it happens too often in the past couple weeks. I can't even farm resources without getting into an all out war. I mean, come on, I just need some water. lol

    I ran into something similar last night, minus the big drone. I was wondering where all of these elites were coming from. I'd kill a few and then ISAC tells me another wave of reinforcements were inbound. I performed a fighting retreat and eventually managed to put them all down. Best time I've had in the game in a long time. The sad part? All of the gear they dropped was bad and only worth as vendor trash.

    Oh and my world difficulty is set at Challenging.

    I play this game for fun and not for the loot.

    I have noticed a lot more rogue agent encounters in the past week than any time before that. Seems like 25-30% of the missions I run will have rogue agents.

    Yesterday I got two Rogue Agents at the times. Maybe the salary in the Division is that bad...

    The NPC balance and difficulty has not been changed since update 9.1.

    My explanation of why sometimes the game feels a little different is mostly based on server connection or bugs, or both.

    I only do CP's and i can 1000% say they have increased the chance of a patrols joining in or extra np's hanging around near the CP's.

    No chat on twitch is going to delude me.

    You do you. I used to play in a band called Conspiracy (I know, very original ) but other than that, I don't have much with conspiracy theories.

    For people reading this and are maybe unaware, I did not link a random Twitch chat, I linked the official news channel, with an actual developer handeling the game we play.

    lol they are always doing some kind of ninja adjustments , doing a control point last night and all npc in area joined in , black tusk and hyena .and this is the way it should be , this is what makes the game worth playing , even with my character bugged i had fun, not bullet sponges but actual npc that i was happy that was trying to kill me .. you had to watch every angle , this makes a game harder , not stupid bullet sponges ..when you survive a heroic control point like this you know you had a fight ..
    I wonder if devs have stumbled on a way to make the game better lol , as it is not by design ..
