*** The Division Thread 2.0 ***

Assault rerun coming Monday - time to break out the Showstopper. (After the first 2-3 days while they react to the inevitable server load but don't bother to scale up the provisioning ahead of time).

Servers are shagged have been all day now I can't log in. Just for a change it's not Delta or Mikes fault I'm now if a never ending queue.
 
Still not very playable for me - not sure if they've decreased the range of the Assault bonus or something but I'm not getting the red icon and line quite a lot of the time and hence no bonus damage up close as if the server isn't quite sure where I am. Getting tons and tons of skill desync especially with seeker mines which are bad enough normally and movement is at times pretty LOL because of the silly change they've made making it at times impossible to escape from legendary NPCs and very random trying to go into cover.

I've got 14ms latency to the server IP itself and game packets are around 28-42ms with no obvious packet loss or any significant fluctuation, etc. so dunno what is wrong - not like the server itself is being DDOS'd or its connection overloaded so must be something software wise on their end.

EDIT: Gone back to using my hybrid turret build - so I can sit back and let it do the work and worry less about game performance :(

Well that is TD2 off my list - shame as I was really looking forward to it - I'm not gonna pay to be treated like this with the server performance all over again...

Latest one - got into a good position burst tac link NPC I was aiming at barely took half the damage I was expecting then another one burst from the back of the pack at 1000mph closed the distance impossibly fast and meleed me to the floor while my attempt to quickly move away meant I snapped into the wrong cover...

Joke.

They are obviously passing the cost onto the customer with the servers with overly aggressive adaptive rate control (probably priority based as well so it is no longer a true 60Hz except for certain things) and overly conservative reactive server provisioning on demand.
 
I had a delta-free run for the first time in a long time today. Game ran smooth, no lag.

Still can't get a UG Hunter to spawn to collect the latest Shield - 2 from the last 20 phases - mixture of Challenging and Hard.

Just have to keep at it.

None of the gearsets on offer with this GE really interest me (or I don't need any more), so not doing too much with it.

Cheers

Certainly not a pre-order, or even a Day 1 buy (unlike TD1). I might wait and reserve judgement.

Although I can't complain, just over 1500hrs now so got my money's worth!

Cheers
 
Reinstalled for a while after the TD2 hype.

Been running assaults all morning with no lag.

Its weird - was playing on a team just now and 2 people said no lag (or atleast nothing worse than normal) while myself and another player were really struggling with it - he was constantly being shot through walls to the point we could see it happening LOL.
 
No lag for me either. Definitely not an issue with packet loss at your end?

I did some monitoring of the main IP I'm connected to when playing - no packetloss to speak of - was like 0.003% or something, ICMP ping was solid 14ms, game packet trip time was 28-42ms (ignoring the odd spike) - I'm not the only one complaining about it if you look on the Ubi forums but it doesn't seem to be affecting every one weirdly.

EDIT: Getting a lot of instances now where deploying a skill and the icon doesn't change to orange for 3-4 seconds and stuff like seeker mines when they've blown up the icon stays orange for a good 10-30 seconds :s annoyingly I've got to record it twice and both times it stopped happening until just after I gave up and stopped recording :|

Fired up the game today and its the best it has ever been at the moment, responsive with hardly any inconsistencies :s

Ran Times Square legendary with a team that were on the ball - ripped through it ridiculously fast - some the NPCs were going full health to dead in under 1 second LOL.

EDIT: Then right after that I had the slowest most dragged out run on Napalm ever encountering every desync/lag/glitch/bug in the game LOL :|

I jinxed myself making the comment about the delta free run. Haven’t been able to play without deltas since then. Couldn’t even make it through one run of Lex challenging yesterday.

I used to persevere and log back in if I could, now I just go and play something else (Fields of Glory II at the moment).

Cheers
 
Is the division totally down atm?
I get nowhere game had delta and mikes last night for first time in a very long time.
Now I cannot even log in I get a message from the launcher that A Ubisoft service is currently unavailable try again later or switch to offline mode.

Just me or ?
 
Working for me - I was just playing.

EDIT: Just as I said that uplay kicked me off LOL. Looks like uplay is having problems rather than the game itself.
 
Meh Survival shield - be nice if they disabled the timer at least temporarily global event style so you could spend awhile exploring in survival.

Also for anyone who hasn't bought the DLC survival will be temporarily accessible for free during the 16th to the 22th of August.
 
Been lots of rumours about it but very little substance - sadly I expect it will be an unoriginal off the shelf by the numbers job as per most video game to movie attempts.
