The Division 2 Dev Tracker

Appreciate all the discussion here everyone. I'm reading through it all carefully.

Just a reminder to avoid flaming other users.

Some really solid advice in here. All stuff that I would have suggested too, so I've not got much to add. But I do have something to ask:

How big of an impact have you found crafting a build makes in your overall gameplay performance compared to not having one?

I know I personally use that bonus to great effect. What other type of bonus do you feel would pair well with shotguns as a weapon class in addition to stagger?

Edited to fix typo.

Something to keep in mind, however, is that these systems made it incrementally harder to switch your playstyle the more you stuck with one. A bg advantage I feel The Division and The Division 2 have is that if you happen across some gear pieces that can come together to make a new build, you can swap over easily - and only your tactics need to readjust.
How do you feel The Division 2 stands on things like build/playst... Read more

I also think exotic drop rate needs to be raised or stacked depending on how many time you try for it because I feel like I’m playing this game for no reason at all at this point might have to go back to destiny 2.

How many times through/How much time spent do you feel should basically guarantee getting a particular exotic?

Has the bounty system been a main gameplay focus for you all or more of a side-gig when they happen to come up? I know I seldom go after them besides getting one from the occasional world event.

Hey DrayloreX, what level/World Tier and Specialization are you experiencing this issue with? The April 11th patch rolled out a fix for this so any details about a problem you're still having are much appreciated.

Since each of the DZs have pretty different environments, having the Occupied DZ on rotation allows each one to have that unique O-DZ experience within different contexts. How do you feel that might impact your playtime within a specific DZ or the O-DZ?

Great responses everyone. Couldn't have said it better myself.

By not sectioning off certain pieces of loot into certain areas and having everything be available everywhere, you are inherently going to have a lower chance to get any specific thing you're looking for as the overall pool gets larger. How do you feel the balance of targeting specific loot vs. keeping all loot ... Read more

Interesting talk about universal loot pools... Do you feel it adds to or takes away from the game to have every single item available from all sources? True, it allows you to get something anywhere, but how do you feel about the overall chance for the given item you're looking for going down by virtue of all items being in the same 'spot'?

Agents, the maintenance is complete and the servers are back online.

See you all in Washington D.C.

Agents,

We will be performing an emergency server maintenance in 30 minutes, at 13:30 CEST / 7:30 EDT / 4:30 PDT.

Expected downtime is 30 minutes.


Patch Notes:

• Fixed an issue that could cause the Demolitionist�s tactical link buff to stack infinitely

Sorry for the short notice and the inconvenience this may cause.


Thank you,
The Division 2 Team

I bought a few games from Origin sometime back, and Origin is not required to run those games.

You will need to use Epic's launcher to download, install, and update your version of TD2 if you purchase from them.

You can also just purchase the game on Uplay. Both versions of the game still require the use of Uplay.

Those landscape shots though!

Am I doing it wrong?

If it works, it works!
