The Division - What We Want from The Division 2 - MMORPG.com

The original game’s entire live service has basically been a test case for what works and what doesn’t when putting together this sort of game, so Ubisoft is in a really strong position to knock the sequel out of the park from jump. We don’t know what Ubisoft has planned just yet, but we have a couple of ideas for what we’d like to see in the sequel.

Throw out the Tom Clancy license.

Switch "Ubisoft" with "Bungie" and "Division" with "Destiny" and see how that turned out.

I dont want to see a Division 2 I want them to fix the first one and not try to exploit the gamers out there.

imho, I couldn't put them in the same boat, Division was just a let down (gotten better recently) and Destiny was just a rip off and continues to try and do so.

i actually had a good time playing the division when it came out, until endgame hit me that is. hope they will get the endgame right this time, move out of new york to the country side and give us sexy graphics to look at again. the game din't date well imo. PS: no im not all about the graphics, but they kinda are. so atleast give me a good looking snowy forest ;D

I had zero complaints about Division, in fact, its the only game to date that actually lived up to my hyped expectations. I cant wait for Division 2.

I won't touch the next game unless see something great. Exploiting is cheating and they celebrated it on the official stream. That was enough to ruin me from wanting to play the game. That kind of toxicity is something I can live without. If I want to play the game correctly and am penalized by what others do to get ahead. I was kicked out of groups for not doing exploits. Fun was had but the way things were handled were enough for me to go far away from it.

The one thing I wanted back then and no clue if they ever did anything... Would be to see other players in the game world instead of just in hubs and the DZ. Then add world events players can trigger.

Thane

well, how about the stuff they promised for part 1?

Sounds good to me, really enjoyed the division, it was the closest thing to gears of war that i could play on PS4. Hope it's not still snowing in the sequel... haha

BF2142 was so good this thread should be derailed to talk about how it should be re-booted in the always-on style of Planetside.

Signed. I wish this would happen so bad. 2142 is still my favorite experience with a Battlefield game. Titan Mode was way ahead of its time and I would love to see it return.

PvP, old and new, in The Division just was not my cup of tea. I didn't mind the PvE when playing with friends or even solo but there just was not enough of it or it just got repetitive.

"Classes"? What classes? Division is gear set based..There are no classes in the game. Have you even played this game? Future setting? How? The main story is not finished. Guy, please go play the game before you talk about it.

Inqr

Writer has absolutely no idea what he is talking about.

For people who want to just PVE the endgame "poofed" in Division 1. The Dark Zone became what turned me off to the game. If they do a remake, it'd be so wonderful if they constructed it in such a way that people that DON"T want pvp can still continue and play. The comments from The Fracture'd Dev's post on this website would be perfect for Div 2...

jusomdude

I want Anthem from the Division 2.

The Division on PS4 ( PC was a wreck and never touched it ) was amazing at launch!

I had a total blast playing it at launch, including endgame and the Dark zone.

Then the first patches came and ruined pretty much everything at the endgame, including the dark zone!

The DLC's that added Endgame content was a total letdown, broken to the bone, plain NOT fun! It was crap and still is! They never fixed this.

The last DLC and free update after that was actually ok and they finally tried to fix what they broke a year ago. Shame it was a year too late.

------------

So what we want to see in The Division 2? Different director and developers that have more competence!
That would be a good start! So we don't get the same cluster feckup post launch, as with The Division 1. Releasing a FUN and excellent game and then completely breaking it with the first patch! /FACEPALM

Agreed, same, hated feeling like I was playing a single-player game unless I was in a Safe House, Terminal or UG. Some type of Guild system would help with that, I think, so that we could at LEAST see, run into & team up with our Guild Members if nothing else, like in the DZ.

To the OP: Suspension of disbelief? I don't RP, & don't overanalyze games, so things like that mean nothing to me. I hated the bullet sponges because they're boring, not because they weren't believable. What players were YOU talking to?

I don't want any sci-fi setting, I like it being set in our World. If you want to pretend that they're all wearing high-tech body armor so you can immerse, great, but not all of us care about immersion.

My Want List:

-Dynamic group events in the LZ, maybe similar to in games like Defiance, where we can see other players out in the world, not just in the DZ , Terminal, Underground. Always hated feeling like I was playing a single-player game.

-Some type of Guilds, where we can have a way to have a set group to hang out with, the Friend System kind of sucked.

-Some kind of even minor RPG-like system where you can add points into different areas to improve/individualize/spec your character how you want. Say you could add points to Headshot Damage, Run Speed, Cover Defense, Damage to Elites, etc. Nothing game-breaking, a few % points here & there, then save those points with your builds.

-Fix Global Chat so you can set language by region, or have a set of Filters set by language so I don't spend all my time Muting people.

-More character customization & cosmetic options as well as the ability to hide all of your gear except for clothing.

-More World & HVT Bosses, & have them rotate, maybe change Bosses every few weeks, or have them change places.

-More Factions, & more differences between the Factions.

-Different types of enemies.

-Incursions that are really really epic adventures, maybe in different locations outside of NY, nothing that's in a big room. Maybe add some vehicles just for Incursions; cars, helicopters & boats would be awesome for special missions.

-Make crafting mean something again.

-Maybe the ability to swap the Pistol for a really basic melee weapon.

-I'd like enemies that were mutated by the virus, not exactly like RE but something new & different. Armored armed human enemies gets super-boring after you kill a gazillion of them & the only change is that there are more of them & they have more HP.

This is the problem with EA games, instead of making it persistant, they decide to reroll for another 60 bucks. People eat it up.

I think making a new game is the right move, because most of the players that are gone/left will NEVER come back now, no matter what improvements the game has made, but they may come back for a sequel, especially if they add to the story, which is what so many players wanted from D1.

The story, game & leveling experience were super-fun 1-30, then you hit the cap & the game just dropped off of a cliff. Another game where the devs (stupidly) thought all players would be happy running around shooting at each other ad nauseam & calling it the end-game. If The Division has launched in its current state, I think it would at least not have died as quickly as it did.

Shooting 100.000 bullets at people in hoodies or hazmat is just /yawn and so is urban jungle setting. Less opening fridges and various other furniture would also be a boon.

The recipe is known tho it will be hyped and it will sell exceptionally well and it will be criticized and players will bail shortly after and then we will all come here and discuss the upcoming patch 1.x which is going to solve all issues and the world will carry on on it's trajectory around the sun.

The Division on PC right now is the way the game should have been at launch, it really isn't the same game, with that in mind, i would be hesitant to buy The Division 2 at launch on any platform, as it would not surprise me in the least if the game was a rerun of the first except in a new city/country etc. with the content being added after launch piecemeal.
