... yet nobody really knows what form and shape final Heartland will be.
The fact that it was MIA at the makeshift E3 is not very encouraging... either is very far from a finished product, or the closed test response was bad (or both).
They might change it ten times from what was leaked from the test to the release.
Also you can crouch in Heartland. So I guess it is not strictly cover based anymore?Originally Posted by dagrommit Go to original post
Idk but that's what I saw in the leaked early development gameplay.
I am only relaying what was reported in Eurogamer.Originally Posted by WrecK3rr Go to original post
The fact that you are forcing people in to either one or the other category is one reason why the game mode is not as popular as it should be.Originally Posted by chicagolongball Go to original post
For the record, I enjoy PvP, but if Division 3 wants to do the PvPvE thing, it needs some changes. The main three gripes you hear constantly are these.Originally Posted by TxDieselKid Go to original post
PvPPPP is not fun. At all.
Getting shot in the back at a Landmark before the SHD even informs you of a rogue agent is a chicken sh1t way to play.
Cheaters run rampant and are never punished.
Those three things need to be changed to make it a fun experience for everyone. I don't mind a good fight. If I lose, I lose, but don't shoot me in the back and pretend you're good. Also 4 players ganging up on 1 is a real problem.
Rogues need to have to stay rogue until they are killed, 24 hours, whatever. And when a player goes rogue, there should be a 5 second immunity to all other players. Also, rogue agents need to lose use of the SHD skills. And for the love of all things Holy, stop the cheaters and hackers and IP ban them. Those few changes would make things much better.
I don't disagree with you, a better job of balancing talents to be different in PvP/PvE is also a must. There is not enough of it in today's experience.Originally Posted by chicagolongball Go to original post
Not gonna lie, I'd absolutely in a heartbeat throw my money to a division 3 with no PvP, for the sole reason that powerful builds to use against the npc enemies won't have to be nerfed into oblivion because a bunch of salty sallys in the DZ don't like how powerful it is against "them".
The series could do away with PvP in general and I wouldn't even bat an eyelash tbh as most of our gear issues stem from the DZ crowd getting their undies in a twist because the gear and abilities are only supposed to be strong FOR them and not when used AGAINST them.
That being my personal opinion though, I think what really needs to happen is they need to hard separate the two.
We all remember Survival from Division 1, wasn't my jam because I really truly loved Underground and wish they'd give us that back in 2 because summit is trash, but why not the ability to transfer to a independent map, where its no holds barred, you can either work together, or go be a stain on humanity and attack other agents. In this map, you can have safehouses, gear and kit that do not transfer back to main world, and by doing this any balancing for this world is not going to affect main world.
The main problem the series has always had is the mixing of the two styles, pve and pvp, and the fact that they are oil and water means it never really ends well. 1 forced you in to the DZ because thats where the good stuff was, until 1.8 happened. 2 has a better system but most of the nerfing has come from dz players mad that a gearset or skill or combination of them kicks their *** and they want that nerfed in the DZ, and because the dz and lz live in the same "world" there is no way to split the balancing, it has to be applied across the board.
Not separate games, but a standalone game mode or game world to travel to in game to achieve PvP. Like how we helicopter over to New York, why not be able to transition between the LZ world, and the DZ world? Separate gear between them and no ability to transfer, so Dz has it's own gear so balancing can be done to either world without affecting the other.
When going rogue, I say all of your SHD skills need deactivated and you get your guns and grenades only, for sure.
It has some interesting mechanics that people DID ask for, but will it cost other features being removed for the sake of making them work? will it be a like hate it or love it D2 armor system compared to the first game of just having a single big health bar? thats why i can't fully fault a game just for existing weather it succeds or not it will serve to test new big mechanic changes that couldn't have done beforeOriginally Posted by WrecK3rr Go to original post
Spoiler: Show
For the sake of argument why i don't like the game PVP:
- It's meta builds only, they don't spread like wildfire they spread like a virus and entering a place that is made for 24 people running the same meta build is not fun and completely choke the entire point of farming gear and creating your own personal style
- People go to DZ don't go for the gear or shoot you for your gear, they go to fight PVP and the game own PVP game mode feels bad. DZ is not a place for PVP "duels" is about tension and might makes right and when you add the previous point of meta builds and ganksquads it loses all tension since you know what will happen.
- PVP doesn't require much player input and skills and is mostly gear dependent, so it's rare to see a battle that you won because you were more skilled than the other player, it's more that they used something more powerful that made your skills useless
Didn't say you were asking for private servers.Originally Posted by Sircowdog1 Go to original post
But that you would ask for it after a day in a pve dz.
And everything you say could be in 3 words.
Ready?
Bring back Survival.
All your other ideas are already in the open world.
Maybe they can improve or add stuff but it's there.
Rogues and hunters idea:
You want pve dz because of rogue players.
And then all of a sudden you want more rogues in dz.
just ask for more encounters in the openworld.
Hunters are worse then real players!!
damage,healing,skill haste/duration wise.
And now you want them as well.
For now imagine that other players are Rogue npc's or weak Hunters. (With better AI, alright?)
Just go in the dz and farm for the exclusives that you're never gonna use.
You talk about pve dz.
I respond to that.
Then it's about balance.
I respond to that.
Then it's about pve and pvp don't mix.
I can respond to that but then you say.
Nah it's all about dz exclusives.
Just stop about a pve only dz and come with ideas they can put in the open world and/or dz.
Especially dz (for the pure pve players) so it would be more attractive for them to go in a *PvEvP* zone.
Not PvE only, not PvP only but PvEvP.
I get that you don't like pvp I have the same problem.
Played conflict maybe 7 times.
Dz 15 hours all together, went rogue 12x or something. Killed 30 players maybe.
(Full stats are in a thread that they closed, but my point is: it's not a lot of DZ time)
I only went rogue on players that jumped/ganked me.
Don't go in there then if you don't like it.
There is more to do in the open world anyway.
And now like last time you gonna say:
Yes but in the LZ its just you('re team) and no one else.
Just ask for a open world with multiple people like they have in Destiny.
Then we probably get public events where 10 players empty 8 mags on 1 boss type of shiite.
(Without the boss healing that is)
How is it that me as a pve player with 50% potato aim can go in the dz without complaining that I die by rogue players.
You can make multiple threads here.
(Not here but in the suggestions forum)
And underneath the titel you put in your ideas.
1. Bring back Survival.
2. Improvements for the open world.
3. More rogue encounters.
4. Put hunters in the open world. (Can also be 3)
6. Multiple people in the open world.
(7. Pve darkzone lol)
Before you say the devs don't listen anyway.
A buddy of mine made a list on this site in Div 1 forums.
And a lot of it is in div 2 now.
So come with ideas instead of changing other modes for your own good only.
This is the list he made:

You are right pve is so small in Division 2 now.Originally Posted by chicagolongball Go to original post
It's only as big as 1 conflict map.
WoNY dlc is pure pvp and pvevp
The whole freaking map is one big dz.
Not one mission in there
You are 100.000% right my man!!!
Triple bullseye for you!!
The only activitys in this game for pve is:
- 3 small missions
- Small land marks. (In dz they are waaaay bigger)
- and suply drops. (Dz has all the other activities)
