    How come I go in the DZ and there's nobody else in it sometimes?

    Because each time you go in you are put in a instance. If someone joins your team it could force you to switch to another server. Sometimes the servers are full and you could be in a server and you will see a message saying server transition.


    All gold everything. Dont let me see yall in the DZ. Gonna get got for your wares.

    Plat plat!

    Best way to farm loot is either Lexington on challenging or named bosses in dz. It'll get you to at least gear Score of 180 ish with the potential to get some green so maybe higher. Still looking for a gold m1a tho lol. Also don't forget to equip as highest lv as possible pistol cause that effete it too. I hardly use mine lol.


    Been messing with these incursions and ? . Got my score up to like 210 but just got few new pieces I didn't equip yet before server went down so could be higher.

    Thats the issue with these types of games, thats why I was concerned about the end game because once you hit max level thats all you have left even if the core game is dope.

    The Division DLC's delayed so Ubisoft can focus on fixing the core game

    ys2aEhNiGJSnfTgHhf2YnZ-1200-80.jpg

    Ubisoft is hitting pause on The Division's DLC release schedule and turning its attention to the core game instead. A post on the game's official website today announced that the developers have decoupled plans for the next big update from Survival, The Division's second paid DLC expansion.

    Ubisoft says it's going to focus on fixing a bunch of The Division's persistent glitches and mechanical headaches instead. Here's the target list "for update 1.4 and beyond":

    Fixing bugs, including those listed in our Known Issues as well as many other ones:

    - Making loot drops more relevant to the player
    - Enemy difficulty and time to ?
    - Gear Sets and weapons rebalancing
    - Solo player experience
    - Dark Zone and PvP balancing
    - Quality of life additions based on community suggestions (such a weapon skins no longer taking inventory space)

    The Division players have dealt with enemies that feel like mutant bullet sponges and assorted loot problems since the game came out in March. It's good to see Ubisoft acknowledge that its current approach to post-launch support isn't working well enough and take the initiative to improve it. Though folks who bought the Season Pass and expected timely DLC deliveries may be understandably upset.

    Ubisoft now plans to release Update 1.4 in October, while the Survival DLC (which adds a new, extra-hostile environment for Agents to explore) will arrive some time before the end of the year. The third and final season pass expansion, Last Stand, is planned for early 2017.

    Its great to see these developers not giving up on their games after launch and the initial sells what turtle rock is doing with Evolve, Ubisoft with Division to name a few is great for gamers.
