I watched SOTG with bated breath, but nope, nothing.
Utterly disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, it was a fantastic game and definitely got my moneys worth but it is just so frustrating how this game didn't really progress at all as it had/has got so much more potential. I can't help but feel that they wasted too much time and resources "balancing" the game when there wasn't any need to a lot of the time, that and dlc being a complete let down overall (well survival was good but its implementation was a big let down imo, should have been what the main game/map was like)

Oh well, roll on division 2. I imagine it will be set in a completely different city so we'll probably never get to see central park either :(

Have not been on The Division for a few days now, need a rest from it after 1050 hour. Playing BF1 now for a bit but its difficult not to rage quit when I press space to take cover and it jumps over the wall and I get killed;)

Or pulse :D haha!

So still no news if they will be adding any more content then? :/

Looks like it might be time to perma uninstall as well....

The only news we know is that they will be doing the following:
  • May - patch 1.6.1 which will bring more balancing, bug fixing etc to prepare for patch 1.7
  • Two big releases this year which will include - not but limited to:
    • Loadouts
    • Seasons
    • Different events
    • Something like..rewards for achievements but i cant remember what term they used for it
  • All the above are in addition to the two big releases but they havent confirmed what they are.

So basically, we know the above is happening as well as the two big releases, but what they are and what timeframe they are working to is completely unknown! :O

There have been a lot of surveys regarding what they could add on to survival/LS/UG/DZ etc but they are keeping their lips sealed

They need to give us a roadmap of y2 or something. We dont need surprises lol Just tell us!

Sounds an awful lot like a mirror of diablo 3s setup ( not a bad thing )

Has anyone bought the season pass or the game from a cdkey site?

Thinking of getting the Season Pass, but for games like this, I don't fully trust ubitihs from a cdkey seller.

The thing is.. why they ALWAYS rush ME and not my friend or someone else if we are in a 4 man group.
Are you by any chance running any mods with increased threat such as a loud vent brake? That could make them look at you. I have similar issues with the Cleaner Axemen. A few nights ago I had four of them after me!
