The Division 2 Dev Tracker

Changes to the RNG allocation of stats and the way that Gear Score 490 weapons for example can have higher damage output than Gear Score 500 weapons are currently something we are looking at but not something that will be coming any time soon.

It would mean a large overhaul of the system (from what I understand from my conversations with the dev team a complete revamp and therefore completely new "code") and it's not an easy feat.

That being said we also talk about it a lot internally and we know it's important to players so it's not something we don't want to do but rather something that will just take a lot of time and we will have to figure out how and when to do it.

That's fair. We'll try to give you as much of a heads-up as we can.

Enjoy! We'll make sure to keep the info about the raid coming when it's ready.

Hello,

Would it be possible for you to provide more information about this?
Info like these would be very appreciated:

- Location
- Name of the bounty
- Did it happen more than once?
- Did you perform a particular action before seeing the problem?

Thank you!

It is! Current plan is to start our maintenance for TU6 tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9:30 AM CEST, 3:30 AM EDT, 12:30 AM PDT.

Tuesday, October 15th, yes. Title Update 6 and Episode 2 launch on that date. Narrative content, e.g. the new main missions, will launch with Early Access for Year 1 pass owners and then unlock for everybody on October 22nd.

So next week Tuesday:

• All the QoL, Gameplay and Balance changes on October 15th
• You will be able to unlock the new Specialization via the Special Field Research
• Kenly College returns with the new Mastery system for all players
• Early access for Year 1 pass owners to new missions, Classified Assignments and instant unlock of the Technician

On October 22nd:

• the new missions unlock for all players

Why does everybody keep saying that!

Hey, sorry to hear you didn't have any keys drop from the 4 caches you got. We know that the streaks of bad RNG can be pretty frustrating, which is why we also added a new project that grants you 3 keys on completion for this event, so you have at least something you can do to get some keys reliably.

As we pointed out before, we're going to make changes for future events which will make getting a key more predictable and also have the game tell you when you did not get a key. It's often times confusing when you don't know if you got one or did not or why you did not get one.

Once we're closer to the next event we'll give you an update on how it will look and the main goal is to have keys be more predictable and lessen the frustration.

Thanks for the info. Have you played any Conflict matches lately? We made back-end changes last week Tuesday and if you've played and noticed anything being different that'd be great to know. If everything is still the same, also let us know. While this would mean nothing has improved for your case specifically, it also means nothing got worse which is something we can also work with.

I can see that point for sure, we launched with bugs that had impact on the overall experience for sure. The thing is, we try to fix everything we can reproduce and there's no reason for us to try to slither around these things.

We require player input because players are experiencing these things and millions of players playing will just ultimately always have more hours played than our QC teams, just by sheer numbers.

That doesn't mean we're not testing these things or are not experiencing any bugs. We do and we fix them. But some things we can't reproduce and that's where player input is just super valuable and can help us fix things.

A simple example is one of the sound issues that arose early after launch. Only after players told us they were using specific headsets with a specific software we could identify the issue, buy the headsets, install the software and fix the bug.

I think a lot of the frustration is understandable. That being said, it doesn't really explain to me why make the effort to respond to me then? If I'm just a Yes-saying marketing tool, why go through the effort?

All the other things you say I can understand and I even agree with some on a personal level. But what I don't get is the amount of effort put in to make it look like I'm just lying, instead of asking players for feedback because we can't verify things on our side.

I do apologize that you feel I'm not genuine and don't provide anything of value for your interaction with Massive.

I'm not sure why you think I'm just here to do damage control. We made changes to Conflict and want to know if these changes are positive (or at least not negative). We can make changes to the Conflict servers without affecting the other areas of the game, which makes testing quite safe while still have a larger population than on the PTS (where we also tested the changes).

The OP here states clear problems he had since we made the changes which might mean we do not want to apply them to the rest of the game at all, while we initially want to do so with TU6.

We receive a lot of feedback but, mostly due to the nature of how we as humans communicate with each other on Social Media, most feedback is pretty thin on details and doesn't really give us anything to act upon.

Your constant negative attitude towards our communication doesn't really help us either. I understand there are frustrations with us, the game and other things but I'm also curious what drives ...

Thank you for letting us know!

I get it too and I've had it in TB CWO and at least 5 of the story missions

Thank you for this, please do forward any more information should this happen again.
Especially if you have a video :)

Thanks for sending over that feedback. As OP mentioned, we made some changes to the Conflict servers to see if these improvements will help with latency and hit registration issues.

If you could be a little more specific on the feedback it would be greatly appreciated. Where possible video footage would be awesome. If that's not possible still try to add as many details as possible. When were you playing, what platform, what region, did you queue in a group, solo, etc.

The more you can add in terms of details the easier it is for us to check what's happening and make further improvements.

Would you be able to share a clip of this happening?

Does it happen all the time or only in certain conditions and with certain enemies? Any particular place you notice it happening more frequent etc?

The more information you can share about this, the better :)

Something like that, yes. We're not 100% certain what it'll look like yet but it should give you a clear info on when you can expect a key, basically.

Hello! We agree with your feedback about the stretches of bad RNG where it can take a lot of Field Proficiency or Dark Zone Caches before you get another Apparel Event Cache key. We know it can be frustrating when you don’t get a key, and the game does not provide you with this feedback or tells you if and when you'll get a key next.

For future events, we’re currently looking at solutions which would allow you to have a more predictable path to acquire event keys and better feedback from the games' UI.

This is actually something Fredrik addressed on Wednesday's State of the Game. I don't have a timecode but it's somewhere in the middle of the show :)

Thanks for the confirmation :)
