*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Russian Consulate with Showstopper + Sticky bomb is ridiculous with this GE modifier - we had to stop running Lex as we kept breaking the progression script when destroying an entire spawning group instantly with 5+ million bomb damage heh.

Hopefully!



I really hope they do central park for this game before leaving it especially after how they have made out about central park being a mass grave.

I'm not sure they are going to - when people broke out of bounds even fairly early on in the game the WSP section was fairly detailed and laid out just unfinished - the Central Park area is largely just a basic sketch out with some trees scattered on it and a couple of roads leading upto it laid out and detailed. Not that it necessarily means anything.

I really hope they do (A) expand into a new area to the North including Central Park (B) leading upto that add some new missions in the current LZ, etc. that build upto the story line for the new area - rather than just jump straight into the new area as per how WSP was released, etc.

Why do people find this GE so hard to grasp? The amount of idiots running off solo and not sticking together :mad:

Unless you are doing the commendations Lex and Russian Consulate tend to be close quarters so people can't mess it up so easily. It is mind boggling though how some can't seem to grasp fairly simple mechanics even when pointed out.

Awesome, for all it's early faults I do love the division and can't wait for the sequel
Click to expand...

I keep coming back to The Division from time to time, even if it's just to run around the environment for a bit and then stumble into the Dark Zone before realising I'm waaaaayyy too under-specced to be in there :p Will be getting #2 :)

Stockholm, Moscow, London or Amsterdam would make me happy.
 
I don't care where it is, but it must be set in the snow with blizzards and must be built up. I'd even like more of New York to be honest, I thought the setting was spot on with the blizzards, just so atmospheric and epic at times.
 
Could be another American city, Boston, Washington DC or Chicago. San Francisco would be fun too I reckon. The only thing I will say, it must have more Cleaners! Another Enemy faction wouldn't go amiss either.
 
Hurrah for more Div Tech opportunities!

With the Russian influence in Div 1, how about Moscow as the location for Div 2?

Big city, lots of green space, a metro and lots of snow...

Cheers

It definitely needs to be atmospheric whatever the setting.

I find it a bit frustrating how under utilised the current map is though in terms of end game stuff - assuming their design tools are reasonably well produced I could churn out tons of content just from what it already there in a relatively short space of time :( for instance there is a network of underground locations on the top left of the map that are barely used through the main game or any post level 30 content :s
 
Yup it will need the same atmosphere to the game as the first one did, although I would be surprised to see them doing a snow theme again, I imagine they will want to show something different. What would be really cool is a proper weather system that has all types of weather. Would love to see heavy rain, gale force winds + thunder and lightning done on the snow drop engine.
 
Oh man, I got a bit too excited earlier, got a 310k DPS Urban MDR when farming Hudson Refugee Camp. I always use assault rifles so given it was 100k more than my AK that I was using at the time, I got very excited and forgot to check the RPM. Was a bit disappointed when I finally got round to using it that it was a semi auto :( Thought it was too good to be true
