    Summit, which is the epitome of copy/paste.
    Manhunts: Copy/paste
    Raids are copy/paste from other games, without ever stopping to consider the impact on the game's dynamic.
    Dark Zone: Copied from the first game without learning ANYTHING.
    Seasons are literally just on repeat with a single new mechanic and often only a handful of "new" exotics.
    Hardcore Mode: Literally no changes to game rules or mechanics or systems. Just a single flag on the character upon death.
    PVP: Is it any wonder that PVP is the mess that it is when they can't copy/paste from anywhere else?

    There is no creativity in this studio. Look at the quality of the stuff they DO release! Overburdened by bugs. Full of exploits.

    And the worst part is that all they'd have to do is look to the suggestions from the community. Literally THOUSANDS of worthy ideas for items, story, game mode fixes, troubleshooting, QA, and everything else. But for whatever reason Massive/UBI seems intent on ignoring everything in favor of ruining their game by aiming it directly at the ground at top speed.
    Summit is Underground, but not as well refined as UG was. The DZ's are worse than the first game! Division 1 DZ - Wanna farm? If there is PvPing going on, go to the other side of the DZ! Division 2 DZ - Wanna Farm? Hope you get a DZ with just farmers in it!

    Everything else I agree with!

    It's understandable if they don't have the manpower to work on multiple games at once hence why they were hiring people, but if you know you aint got the manpower than perhaps don't try and split everything up over 3 separate games where as division get's the least amount of people to work on that game. Especially when you take in mind that division is a current ongoing game where as avatar and star wars are years away from release.

    100% going to be the same copy/paste content we already had for the last year + apparel events with generic/****ty outfits that are also copy/paste for most of the time.

    Faye Lau was literally the reason on why our agents joined Division in the first place, there was no division without her.. Yet we kill her off like she's just another empty bullet sponge npc.. I 100% wanted to have the ending where she did went back turning us into rogues which could've open up so many possibilities regarding story/the world itself or anything for that matter.. But nope, whack her on sight and boom.. That's it, end of story...

    A massive shame it is to see our franchise fail just like that

    Serious! I was on a Skill build and my skills wouldn't target it. so I had to use them as a Distraction, run up the left side to cover and spam the heli with my rifle hoping to blow it before the timer ran out on Heroic.

    We weren't the same Agent from 1 to 2

    As someone not invested in TD1, Faye Lau was just a high ranking NYC agent who did what I wanted to do: ice Ellis. I had more attachment to Schaeffer than I did Lau. Plus, we didn't get a Vital,0 for her like we did Ellis.. also, one of the comms was "joking" about some mole leaking BT secrets..

    Still a disappointing finish, as I expected at least a cut scene.

    The idea of joining her is cool, I would have liked it. I'm curious to see what, if anything comes next. I'm still thinking we get a Year 1 style DLC [Pentagon/WhiteOak/Manning/Coney] setting up TD3 [hunting down Sokolov & Friends]. Might get nothing. Might get crap. Guess we'll see. I plan to finally finish TD1 & RDR2 until we hear some news, maybe finally try Breakpoint now that Immersive Mode is available too [I wish Hitman 3 wasn't an Epic Exclusive right now].

    Which is more likely, given how stupid and weak the overall writing and delivery of story is in this game:

    "No vital 0" for Faye is some kind of super 5-dimensional chess move easter-egg by Massive to let us know there's more story?

    Or:

    Lazy, sloppy, halfa**ed Massive just forgot to include that part in the code for the encounter?


    One of these choices is 99.999999999% more likely than the other.

    It's not only a Tom Clancy IP, but a video game plot - no need to apply reality or logic to it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    If we want something stupid: year 3 starts with us having a meeting with Manny, where Faye shows up in bandages and they say it was their super sekrit plan all along. Oh, and Schaeffer was salvaged and turned into a Hunter

    I really don't understand this almost Stockholme syndrome or Pavlovian levels of hope that this situation is somehow going to turn around. There's literally not a single shred of encouraging evidence to suggest this will turn out well.

    Sure...it's possible that massive could randomly announce a Division 3. But I honestly think that's not going to happen until they've squeezed every bit of money out of their "big name" projects of Avatar and Star Wars. There's just too much money involved in those namebrands for them to give a rats a** about Division right now. MAAAAAYBE in a couple years after things have died down a bit and Avatar and Star wars have launched and flopped or not.

    It's not what you think

    Some of us not only have patience, but don't give a **** if it's actually over. I got my money's worth long ago. If there is nothing next, I move on. What I don't get are the folks claiming it's all over because Massive is being it's normal [poor communication] self or that they demand answers right this instant.

    I just happen to like this game more than the current alternatives, so I'd prefer new stuff. Nothing needs to be turned around - I like the game in its current state [minus the few CTDs since 12.1] - I just want new missions and some fig leaf of a story. Maybe some new brands, weapons & exotics.

    I don't play this game for the loot, I don't care if the story is great, I don't care if skills don't work right - I just want a game that is super easy/relaxing I can jump into and shoot stuff when I have time - but it needs to be refreshed from time to time. This fits the bill almost to a T [as stated, I'd prefer a more Wildlands style combat & weapon/gear system - I just like the Urban setting and game world of Div2 more].
