    The Division 2 - Worth to play in 2021?

    I thinking to buy this game but I have some questions:

    1. Game is still popular? Most of active players are veterans or still new players coming? (PC)

    2. Its good game for solo or with random players or I need friends to enjoy game?

    3. Explore is enjoyable?

    4. Game will have support for next year(patches, events, meaby new dlc) or ubisoft working only on the division 3? It doesn't have to be official information, I'm also interested what experienced players predict

    5. General question, do you recommend to start playing this game almost two years after release?

    thx for answer!

    There has been a decent influx of new players on PC. But don't expect crowds.

    You can play every piece of the game solo, except for the 2 raids. And those raids only have a handful of items that you can't get elsewhere. Division 2 doesn't lock the "best" gear behind raiding. Just really good gear.

    But...having friends or a group to play with makes the game easier. And many find it more fun in a group. But the game doesn't require it anywhere but the raids.

    If you've never played before, there's LOTS of exploration to do. You'll enjoy that part a lot.

    Many people speculate that there will be year 3 or a Division 3. Some say that the game is following the same pattern as Division 1 did right before Div2 was announced. But there's no official information.

    Last: The game is on sale right now for 70% off. IMO even if all you do is play the story through once, it's worth the $24 cost to get everyth(all expansion + bonus missions) Absolutely!

    1) game has a playerbase but most of it is in the late game

    2) you can play solo no problem and can matchmake also no problem

    3) pretty much

    4) nobody here knows, people have mixed feelings over current situation and "content" coming i would guess most is not so optmistic

    5) i mean buying in a sale for cheap? sure, try to get the expansion also

    If it's 3 bucks.. why not. They don't have free trial time?

    Even the most vocal complainers here have several hundreds of hours in this game, so yeah, if you've never played it, go get it. The leveling experience alone is worth it, esp. solo.

    1. Game is still popular? Depends on which server and time of day you play, in my experiences. Most of active players are veterans or still new players coming? I see mostly Vets and only a few new players. Game is getting too old and have no interest in keeping players around.


    2. Its good game for solo or with random players or I need friends to enjoy game? Pending on your own skillz. I play it mostly solo nowadays. Except for the Raids, everything else can be done solo. It's just more fun in groups in my opinion.

    3. Explore is enjoyable? I do enjoy the exploration.

    4. Game will have support for next year(patches, events, meaby new dlc) or ubisoft working only on the division 3? It doesn't have to be official information, I'm also interested what experienced players predict As for life of the game, we probably won't really know how long they will do anything for the game. If they use it for beta testing for TD3, they may keep doing small things. I wouldn't be expecting much at this point.

    5. General question, do you recommend to start playing this game almost two years after release? What I would recommend is buying and playing TD, rather then TD2. Don't get me wrong, they did somethings right from TD. I just feel they was so concerned about being like other games and less being like TD, that they broke the things that made TD special.

    Its not like we can hang onto their honesty. They have made statements in the past and then did the opposite. They are, as some would say, "Creative" in their decision making.

    Buy it , best game out there .. worth the money , i played solo from release , and still play , still moan , still bugged , but best bugged game ever .. but do not try and ask devs for help or say anything is to powerful the devs WILL nerf it ..
    The game is great the devs do not listen ..
    if you like looters / shooters you will love this..
