do you know where the global patch notes are? they said on STOG there is this set (week 2 compared to week 1) and a set which is current PTS compared to live. where is this one at. I can't find it. thank you
It's being updated right now. Should be live soon.
Interesting, didn't know about that one.
Can we re create a fresh 30 on pts when that happens or is it transfers only? I play on ps4 but have an un leveled pc account and been reporting back to my group on changes and info. Id like to continue to do that to help test sets.
Yes, when creating a new character you will get a fresh level 30 directly, just like it has worked until now!
Is the transfer mandatory or automatically done when you log in?
It'll be automatic, you can't avoid it.
We still looking at October for console (Xbox for my team) release? Great work and thanks. There's no game like the Division.
Yes, we're still aiming for October.
That re-roll will be available in the PTS when you import our character I guess, right? Will be the same roll that we'll get when 1.4 launches?
You won't keep the roll from PTS to the live version, if that is your question. No change made on the PTS will carry over to the live game.
Amazing, my mind is blown ! Will we lose week 1 characters? Or they will survive?
No, we'll have to wipe the database in order to transfer existing chars, so your week 1 character will be gone.
We're actually adding something very close to your suggestion with the next PTS.
Performance mod slots will be shown on the right of the gear icon, and normal mod slots will be shown on the left.
Also, when trying to mod an item, only mods that can actually be equipped on this item will appear (if it only has normal mod slots, only normal mods will show).
It's very important that you report these in the PTS Bug Forums, as this is where we're focusing most of our attention for bugs.
Make sure to include any information that could help us identify what causes the bug.
Thanks!
That's the plan for week 3.
Week 1: Test progression with a fresh level 30 character
Week 2: Test character changes with your own character and gear
Week 3: In-depth min-max testing with ability to generate items for free
Hope you guys like the format, wasn't easy to put together...
We'll keep updating them with changes added to the PTS
gestures vaguely at the list above
I like this list a lot. At the risk of taking someone's credit or earning someone's ire... some of those are definitely things that we as a group definitely helped influence the direction of when we were there.
Again, I can't say enough how ridiculously cool it is to see community feedback (ETF and here on reddit) have such a direct impact on a huge game like this.
Please keep in mind that this list is not the final 1.4 patch notes. I see several things on this list that @Thylander and other devs have confirmed aren't in the existing PTS build yet but will be soon.
That's correct, we'll have an updated Patch Note on Thursday.
Do you recognize some of your personal recommendations in these changes? ;)
Just hold your horses, not thankin massive until 1.4 is out and lets wait another month or 2 and see how this whole patch gonna work out. Sure watching PTS giving me positive vibes, but still massive is know for changing things little too much in litte time. Just when we are gonna get used to 1.4, Im sure they will come up with some other super "great" idea and change the game again... completley.
Yeah, we're adding zombies in 1.4, but don't tell anyone!
(No, we're not)
So far we don't have any plans for drastic change on 1.4. What you see on the PTS is pretty much what you'll get, except a few balance tweaks here and there (mostly based on community feedback)
But just to clarify further if you can please:
If for example my existing chest piece is rolled for stamina, in 1.4 will stamina continue to be the dominant stat or will the stats be completely re-rolled i.e. the values distributed equally among the 3?
You'll keep your stamina roll, but the value will be adjusted to what would be expected from a 1.4 item.
Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate it! My fiancée just invited you over for dinner if you are interested :)
Sure, what's on the menu?
Yannick,
Thanks for the update. If they upload our characters can the loot drop rates be adjusted to the projected value of release so we can get a feel for what it will be like when 1.4 hits?
The loot drop rates are already adjusted. We haven't "boosted" them artificially for the PTS.
There might be tweaks with the upcoming PTS update, but we intend the PTS to be representative of what you'll get with 1.4, otherwise what's the point?
I hope so, I bought The Divsion on pc just to play the pts and my character is only a lvl 7 so that would do me little good for the next week of PTS.
That's a good point, I'll see if we can do something for this situation.
will we still have the option of playing with the old randomly created PTS character?
Nope. We'll have to transfer the entire content of your account, and for this we need to wipe what is already existing on it on the PTS.
I think they were talking about the best way to get SP, because the caps and whatnot have been adjusted. 90kSP is like 30k in 1.3
So, rolling backpack to 8000 skillpower, doesn't have as much of an effect as 6k in 1.3.
This. You can still roll SP on an item, but it will contribute much less to your total SP than Electronics would.
They left for the No Mans Sky sub
Played it. Was fun. The salt though...
