Probably best to wait until loot 2.0 hits and see how it is then.
R6S has a season pass which sells unbelievably well and continues to be one of the most played games this gen. Something that TD2 cannot claim.
2.0?
Is that what this is supposed to be? Or is that something else?
That doesn't mean The Division 2 has to go F2P. It's the opposite. Give more value for the price.
They certainly could but IMO these publishers tend to follow what their competitors are doing and D2 went F2P last fall. So my guess is that TD2 is not far behind.
Nah they fucked up again, making the loot pool larger plus rng for your rng.
Shit sorry, of course that lingo doesn't mean much to you. Basically they're redoing how gear works sometime in March/April I think.
Builds and gearing up will dramatically change when that hits. Probably will put most back to square 1
I think theres something in the contract that you cant put supernatural stuff in a Tom Clancy game.
The team decided to re-invent the wheel and tried to make a convoluted new loot system that just was a terrible mess. In the past few developer updates they've been walking the community through a new and more appealing implementation of the game's loot system.
The new update is probably going to be some sort of expansion. The developers have been dropping hints that loot 2.0 will come with new activities for players to do while grinding for new weapons and gear. I'm honestly impressed that the team has stuck with the game. The core game (level 1-30) was great, but the end game has been a bit of a buggy/broken mess for months. After more than a few serious missteps and patches that made the quality of the game worse the team finally seems to have found a good direction.
That's hilarious! I remember the streamer Gothalion talking about how with D2 at least loot wouldn't be a problem because they had 2.0 for the first game and they had figured it out lol.
Absolutely loved this game until I got to the end-game portion. Wasn't able to stick around anywhere close like I did with the first game. All of my friends quickly dropped as well. This was like maybe a month after launch, how has the end-game changed since? The map resetting and running through the same areas over and over just became a very, very repetitive cycle.
Those thinking f2p haven't been paying attention to this game. That is very unlikely to happen.
They have mentioned Episode 3 is going to be released this month, and they have yet to announce the release date. It is likely we get that, plus an announcement of what the Year 2 content will be, which will likely be paid as a year 2 season pass with no end-game modes/expansions. Unfortunately, not Survival or Underground modes from the first game, as they've already stated they had no plans to implement those at this time. But were working on brand new unique modes for Year 2.

Yes. This was the best part of the original. Such a great game mode.
F2P would make sense. They're about to release the last of their free DLC and no doubt want to sell paid DLC next. Can't really do that with a dwindling playerbase.
I played for about a month after the release and came back a couple of weeks ago. It's in a much better place now, the builds are viable and don't take million hours of grinding to put together anymore, plus pretty much everything in the game except for the raid is comfortably soloable.
It's a good game and it improved a ton since release, it's hopefully going to get even better with the upcoming overhaul.
They brought nothing over from the first game other than you're an agent shooting bad guys. I hope Loot 2.0 does a lot cause I bought the game day 1 going off the goodwill they built with 1, but dropped the game at endgame after days of farming gave trash loot.
I'll be surprised if it goes F2P (unless Ubisoft really needs the microtransaction revenue to make up for the terrible numbers they had last year), but I could see them doing a permanent $10 starter edition if they're doing a New York expansion, something like:
$10 gets you just the base game of Division 2.
$30 gets you Division 2 and the year 1 Pass.
$60 edition gets you Division 2, the year 1 pass, and the New York expansion.
$10 gets you just the base game of Division 2.
$30 gets you Division 2 and the year 1 Pass.
$60 edition gets you Division 2, the year 1 pass, and the New York expansion.
The pass only adds (a week) early access to new content, and afaik everything in it is out already. There are a few extra side quests in it too, but I don't believe that's anything significant.
oh interesting, i thought it covered paid DLC. In that case i may pick it up again

yup, thats what immediately came to mind after reading the other thread
It's probably a huge overhaul and/or expansion. Steam release isn't really that 'big' but it's most likely gonna be included with new content/change news and going f2p doesn't make sense with their pricing (dlc being free, mtx customization isn't that enticing etc)
It could be the trifecta of overhaul/content, steam release and f2p though

Hopefully.
I hope they combine DC and NYC. I say it every thread but they left behind so much activities that people didn't play cause so many dropped the game.
My hope is that it's a combination of:
- First, the release date for Episode 3, which should drop within the next 2 weeks (2 new missions in New York, a couple of new weapons and a new specialization) because obviously...;
- Some combination of Gamepass/Free to Play, but not including Year 2 content
- Release window for Title Update 8 which brings with it a complete loot overhaul and gear score increase, plus some more details on the 2nd raid
- Announcement of Season 2 content, which will include vague references to: overhauled Dark Zone experience, new PVP mode similar to Last Stand and new repeatable PVE mode that incorporates elements of Survival and The Underground and the conclusion of the Div 2 story they've been setting up with the president/loose threads from Div 1
- I could see them re-introducing Div 1's map in some way. Perhaps as a full map for Dark Zone fun.

Is there any reason why the PC and Xbox versions went down to $5 but not the Uplay version? I would have taken the plunge...
Hopefully it reinvigorates the player base because the PC version died after like 1 month of release.
Is 2 as good/average as the first one? I liked the first but I never thought it was anything special. Just something to play while listening to podcasts.
