State of the Game Highlights (25th Aug) Feat: Massive's Plan to Fix The Division
State of the Game Summary
After last weeks’ honest list of open issues and problems with The Division we got a special State of the Game this week that addressed what Update 1.4 will be all about and what we can expect from the coming weeks / months:
What is Update 1.4 all about and what has changed
Until now, 1.4 was basically the Survival update, but that has changed:
- Update 1.4 will not include Survival; Survival will be a stand alone update that will be released later.
- Update 1.4 will be released in October and will focus on bug-fixing and balancing, before they move on to new content.
- It will be released on all platforms at the same time.
- Until 1.4 is released, they will continue with small bugfixes and hotfixes that will deployed in the weekly maintenances.
- In 1.4 they want to fix the whole system, address the big picture and and since all issues are somewhat connected, they don´t want to fix a single issue at a time but make a general overhaul. Nothing is off limits and they are even willing to rework whole game-features to make the game a better experience.
- The idea is not to rush out a new update, but to take the time that is needed to make it a good experience.
There are many things to fix like issues with Skills and bigger and smaller bugs that range from game-breaking to just annoying. All these issues should be addressed and fixed in 1.4.
Balancing
They had a lot of internal discussions about pre 30 and post 30 NPC scaling, what the differences are and why it is so frustrating to fight against 34 NPCs. The solution is not to just change health pools and weapon damages, they want to re-balance the whole system.
Loot
Loot should be relevant and better accessible, so that you can do the content you want and still get a character progression. Also when you do a content on a specific difficulty you should get equipment for that difficulty so you can progress. This way you don´t have to get carried through challenge content to do it yourself later.
So far confirmed 1.4 changes
Since they have more time for that update, they can also address issues that had lower priorities in the last updates, because they had to address critical issues first. These are the so far confirmed quality of life changes that will be included in the 1.4 update:
- Weapon Skins no longer use inventory space
- Craft all button
- Buyback option from vendors
- Running in the Base of Operation
Involving the Community
1.4 will be a special update that will be developed in direct discussion with the community. This way they can address the big picture with direct feedback from the front.
They will also invite People to Massive to look at 1.4 and work with the Developers on the next update. All expenses will be paid and it won´t be exclusive to known YouTubers and Podcasters. Everybody can have a chance to discuss ideas in a constructive way. There will be an article up tomorrow, where you can fill out a survey and apply for that trip.
While some people will be invited to Malmö, all others can also participate too. There is a new section in the official forum, where you can give feedback about specific topics. The first topic will be "your top 10 bugs". They will collect all feedbacks and then prioritize the fixes based on that.
=> Join the forum here: Link
Theorycrafting will also be a topic. They want to discuss how do you build your character for specific situations (PvP for example) to really understand how you play the game and why. This way, they don´t make changes and balancing on assumptions based on their data.
Reddit threads mentions
They also mentioned Reddit threads as examples of the good and constructive discussions that took place since the last State of the Game:
General FAQ
BLIND Assault Rifle
It was not confirmed if The BLIND Assault Rifle will be in 1.4
PVP Balancing
Changes in PVE will have an impact on the Dark Zone and the PVP, but they will do the PVE balancing first and then focus on the fallout in the Dark Zone
Cheater problems
Cheater banning is still in progress
Equipment loadouts
It is unknown if savable loadouts will be included in 1.4
Future Updates
- Survival will be out after 1.4 as a stand alone update
- Last Stand will be released early 2017
Summary
1.4 will be a stand alone update, that will focus on a general overhaul of the game in direct discussion with the community. The goal is to address the issues that have been listed in the last State of the Game and not only improve the quality of life in the game, but the whole experience.
They will keep us informed in the weekly State of the Game, and share the complete overview of the changes to come in Update 1.4 in a Special Report livestream on September 13th.

I don't think too many of BGOL still plays it. After they added the match tiers where I couldn't play with friends of a higher lvl I gave up.
I'm probably going to make a BGOL thread for Gears Of War 4 at the end of the Month before the October 11 release. So I'm going to try to make that the next mutiplayer thread for the fam.
I'm off to bf1
‘The Division’ 1.4 Patch Dated During State Of The Game, Expect World Tiers And More On Tuesday
World Tiers, game rebalancing, and major quality-of-life improvements are all coming next week to The Division. The highly anticipated 1.4 update is officially dated for an October 25 release across all platforms. Players will soon be able to explore a max-level version of the New York City map, earn worthwhile loot from every activity, and earn caches after reaching the level cap.
The release date announcement occurred during this week’s state of the game stream. Developers of The Division immediately dated the 1.4 update on the stream which can be viewed on Twitch. The remainder of the stream included some discussions on the public test server process and upcoming changes to the game. The developers answered a few chat questions and touched on a few future plans for The Division.
Named weapons, new guns, and PvP balance are areas the developers want to address after 1.4 releases. Even though named weapons are re-scaled in the 1.4 update, they have not been completely fine-tuned. During the stream, developers stated that they want to address the power and strength of these weapons in the future since time really did not allow them to do so before 1.4 releases. The team also talked about new weapons coming to The Division at some point. No specifics were given, but it is clear that new guns will be released when they can be added to the game without disrupting the ongoing balance of it.
Finally, developers of The Division once again stated that PvP balancing will occur after 1.4 is on the live servers. They noted that players using their live characters will be a better testing ground for that type of balancing since more players will be included. Not to mention, they will essentially have more at stake on the live server making their feedback much more candid.
Update 1.4 will release just one week after testing on the public test server was suspended for the time being. As the Inquisitr reported, the public test server will likely return for future content testing. Once 1.4 is released, new content like the 1.5 update and the Survival DLC are next in line for release. Since 1.4’s shift to completely changing The Division endgame, the release of Survival was moved from a release alongside 1.4 to later in the year according to the official site.
Although no new details about the next piece of downloadable content were revealed during the stream, developers of the game reiterated that Survival, the second paid DLC, will be released first for Xbox One and PC before it releases on PlayStation 4. Like the update that accompanied the release of Underground, the 1.5 patch will be free to all players while the features of Survival will be available to those that buy The Division DLC.
The 1.4 patch will introduce World Tiers, a new feature to the game once players hit the maximum level. At character level 30, the whole map will adjust to level 30 as well in World Tier one. Completing any content in this World Tier will reward items with gear scores up to 163. Once a character hits that gear score, they can adjust their World Tier to level two where items can be up to gear score 182. This can be done two more times with World Tier level four offering the new maximum gear score of 229.
With the map now functional at max level, players can also explore the map to defeat world bosses. These named enemies will be familiar to any player that has leveled through the game with foes like Bullet King once again being relevant. These mobs are on a four-hour respawn timer giving players a new way to roam the streets for loot.
Other new features of the 1.4 update include experience counting toward Field Proficiency and additional Underground caches past the max level, a “craft all” button, purchasable caches, and adjusted skills. Tentatively, PlayStation 4 players can expect an 11 GB update while Xbox One players can plan on a nearly six GB patch. The size of the 1.4 update for PC users is unknown at this time. For a lengthy list of changes and additions be sure to check out the 1.4 patch notes on the official forums for The Division.

They keep changing the properties of players guns, but the ai is killing you with one shotgun blast. Challenging is one thing, but that is pure bullshit
Is this game worth borrowing from a friend to play solo ?
Been back playing and enjoying it so far. Wasn't on the pc playing bf1 because it was me and my 4 month son at home. He could tolerate me playing ps4....
The Division's Next Expansion Transforms It Into An Intense 24-Player Survival Game
The forthcoming Survival expansion for Ubisoft’s huge third-person open-world shooter The Division will turn the game into a treacherous multiplayer survival game in which hunger, heat and thirst are as deadly as any enemies roaming the game’s virtual New York City. The game’s developers explained the surprisingly ambitious mode during a surprise livestream on Monday morning—and they announced that it’ll be playable for some PC players today.
The paid expansion, titled Survival, was announced at E3 in June with scant details but was delayed over the summer as the game’s developers at Sweden-based Massive diverted development to fix design issues that had marred the Division after launch. That work resulted in a recent patch that drastically improved the game, allowing Massive to focus on Survival.
Survival is an optional mode for The Division that operates as a sort of elaborate extra mission with distinct gameplay systems and a roughly two-hour limit before the player’s character will die. It’s set on the same map as the main game but with a different scenario. In it, a blizzard is bearing down on New York City and a group of Division agents need to make it to the center of Manhattan to retrieve some key antiviral drugs. The helicopter the agents are on crashes, scattering its inhabitants around the map. What that means in gaming terms is that up to 24 players who matchmake into a Survival session will find themselves starting in spots all around the perimeter of virtual Manhattan, each stripped of their gear, each trying to make it to the center before their character dies.
Survival encompasses the full main map of The Division, though re-worked to be full of snow. Each player’s starting gear consists of low-level green items and a pistol.
As described in today’s livestream, players will find that their character is cold, hungry, dehydrated and sick, all of which are systems that need to be managed to survive. Medicine and painkillers slow down the disease (warning: the developers say players eventually develop a resistance to the medicine). Hunger slows health regeneration. Thirst limits vision and awareness. Cold gradually kills the player. You need to scavenge to survive by exploring helicopter crash sites, opening caches and tearing through apartments to find food, gear and clothing. All of the vanity items from the main game—scarves, coats, etc.—now have a cold rating on them and will warm players to different degrees. Players can also hunker down in apartments or stand near fire barrels to warm themselves.
Every player’s goal is to get to the center of the map, to the Dark Zone. In there, they’ll find the antiviral drugs they need to extract. They’ll also find tougher enemies, as Survival puts its weakest computer-controlled enemies on the perimeter of Manhattan and deadlier foes toward the middle. Players who manage to extract will receive the best loot for completing the mode.
Survival overhauls the game’s main map by adding a lot more slow but also tweaks interiors. The developers say they are adding new hideouts, all of which include crafting tables where players can craft their skills. Players don’t start with skills, the developers emphasized. You won’t even have a first-aid healing skill.
The new mode also removes the game’s mini-map to make things tougher.
Survival can be played by players who have the DLC regardless of character level. They can play in PvP or PvE, with a score bonus if you choose for the more dangerous PvP option. In PvE, players can’t kill each other, but the scarcity of survival supplies may still make that mode feel competitive. There are no rogue mechanics in the game, though the developers say that players will be notified when a player is downed and can decide whether to kill them, save them or take their gear.
Death is more of a danger in Survival. Players who are downed can be revived by other players or even self-revive with medkits, but anyone who is downed too long will expire and leave the session. There is no respawning.
Players who die part-way through a session will get a score that may earn them rewards to take back to the main game. Those who complete the session and extract will get the best rewards.
There is no release date for Survival, though the paid expansion is slated for console and PC players. Some will be able to sample it today. The developers said in the stream that those PC players who bought the game’s season pass before last Thursday can play a beta version of Survival starting this afternoon on the game’s public test server. That test version will be available via Uplay but not yet for Steam.
The Survival DLC will be rolled out on PC and Xbox One concurrently with a 1.5 patch that adds new weapons, named gear pieces, a new World Tier 5 and raises the gear score. The patch will be free and also come out for PS4, but the game’s marketing deal with Microsoft will slow the release of Survival to PS4 players, who will get it some time after PC and Xbox owners.
