*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

They specifically said no to a GS increase. What it might be is upgrading season pass and early access stuff to GS256 and allowing multiple rolls on exotics etc

So what we know, the new mode is an endless horde mode with ever increasing difficulty, no new weapons or skills coming. There was a Q&A with an ETF member.
 
I mean this update looks like it might be worth getting back into the Division again. Though I'm worried they might try and release it when Destiny 2 comes out and kill all the buzz.

A wave based mode is something I've wanted for ages, so happy now! Wonder if there'll be new named bosses too.

No new named bosses as its meant to be the factions coming together..like the co ordinates pointed to each named faction boss on the map during the week....but there might be a special surprise as don't forget hunters are a separate faction and there are a few interesting things in the files ;) That would be so sick!!

Either way, its going to be so fun

I don't think I've ever used the Station. But the middle skill heals me a lot, and over time.

You're welcome. 3/4 piece Tact for that extra damage and range if you have not. or 2/3 piece with Ninja Bike.

No mate, this going to be a full 6p Reclaimer build; check out the bonuses on page 304 ;)

In the minority here, but so far I'm sorely disappointed with what we know for 1.8. Wave based activities I find extremely unsatisfying and frankly I am fed with Ubisoft being lazy and only offering game modes to their games nowadays (wildlands is another example). I'm all for new story missions personally and this is what I usually enjoy and buy the seasons pass for, which since late 1.3 and in the foreseeable future offers nothing for those who paid for it. We had unique gear sets, until those with no pass started whining, pathetic. :D

Surely there'll be new named bosses roaming the open world in the new bit! They do need to up PC drops by those and from missions IMHO; since they upped the cap bit not the drops.

I am curious what they mean by gear changes though. And, depending on what it is, I might be very interested in what they have planned for the underground!

Oh yeah - give us central park!

I have to retract some of the things I initially thought for 1.8 after watching the stream:

- West Side Story: looks like a lot of fun!
- Too bad you can only enter (at least one) the ship during the wave based mode;
- Masks untied from leaderboards: LMAO! I knew they'd do this eventually, good for all those hackers/cheesers :p
- New weapons (excotics only?) = always welcome! Please, please, please let there be the 2017 released H&K HK433 and HK237 among the non-exotic weapons (http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/products/military/assault-rifles/hk433/hk433/overview.html and http://www.heckler-koch.com/en/products/military/assault-rifles/hk237/hk237/overview.html, respectively).
- This weekend's extra named boss drop not including the chance for a 2nd classified piece: pace palm.
 
Resistance scales to group size which is amazing.

But consider this, basically the West Pier is a PvE DZ with floating landmarks/points of interest and rewards for completing them so this could be good for those who wanted a PVE DZ.

The masks I am sure will go back into the leader boards at some point. I am strong believer in things being tied behind doing well at something - not gear, but vanity but only if the leaderboards work.

If they cant make them work, then they definitely made the right choice and I am happy they took this route instead of delaying the GE further.

Roll on 1.8, its going to be amazing

Ha ha yeah LDZ :p TBH I've been having some really good DZ moments for farming and then there are times when you run into 4 roosters going for manhunt, but it's been pretty decent lately.

Bit miffed there'll be another PTS, only because it means there'll be at least an additional 4 weeks between PTS WK1 and release. Looks like the next GE will not start before 1 October :/ My date with C-Reclaimer will have to wait :D
 
They need to PTS 1.8 as it will be tied to season 3 so new sets for classified. Also, im keen to test the new mods and try and break stuff

2 weeks delay for GE means middle of September for Assault
 
Depends what your goal, PVP, PVE? Could just roam the streets and fight random enemies and get the "feel" back that way. If you need a map of named bosses I have that bookmarked.
