Division 2 Devs Drop W-Bombs: Seasons 2.0 Updates Are Blowing Minds! 💣🔥

[@vv-o-l-f9155]

[@your_boyfriend272]

@AgentMetalKid-q3g then cry! even you protest they have full control to everything your nothing but a player of their game, they can nerf or buff anything they want in the game anytime they want and you can't do anything about that. and all you can do is cry, continue to play even you don't like the nerf or leave and stop playing division 2 forever. but one thing i can say to you all you can do is cry or leave or just continue to play because you have no other choices but to accept what they did to the game.

@@AlfaStation1Yep. They used the LVOA rifle model and the Pig M4 AR stats. That's it.

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

The issue is that they just gave everyone in the game a proficient AR that is stronger than any AR in the game. What is the point of just giving it away. They might as well just give everyone all the exotics and entirely remove the loot system from the game.

[@RogueNav]

@@TheBigBlueMarblewhat kinda ignorant comment is his 😂

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

@@RogueNav You have absolutely no understanding of what makes a popular video game.

[@Jammsbro1]

The worst part isn't the shock-lock but the mid-range damage reversal that forces you to play a game of running back and forth just so you can SHOOT BACK!! You get smashed trying to get one snake enemy in range because making that movement puts another enemy into a deadly range. It's poorly executed. I said it on reddit, if this was the way the game was from the start, it would have failed in the first month.

[@pauliusvasiliauskas5678]

Use "All Out" to lock in long range to combat Reversal and crazy damage. As for shock or fire I sometimes use a Hazpro build which means it's takes long to kill but you can't be effected by it.

[@xXxCJ123xXx]

@@pauliusvasiliauskas5678 You only unlock All out after Journey 5 i think so you have to slog through a lot of the grind without really being able to counter the enemy modifiers.

@@drumnut001 prior to modifiers there were some bosses that had special ammo. They were rare.

[@SaltyOldBaldurian]

My only request/complaint is that our own modifiers aren't automatically locked/synced to our builds and have to be reloaded every time we log in. There should be a "save modifier selection to loadout" feature.

[@SamBrooks-c3t]

If they can actually fix matchmaking where we group up with the group that has no modifiers for those that have it off and keep it locked in so they can not turn it on, then maybe just maybe I'll stick around longer.

[@lewischrist3078]

They need to fix Umbria...I have to unequip then equip it to make it work...

[@OOo17o]

Same......

[@easy6427]

I think the modifiers, specifically master of none, should be kind of like the SE, where the enemies have to land shots before they get the shock ammo. Also, i think they should've made the hostile modifiers like directives, where you can select which hostile modifiers are active and gain an xp buff the more modifiers you turn on.

[@grumpyoldman6503]

On one hand, I'm glad they are responding to feedback around modifiers going forward. OTOH, their continued dumping stuff on the community live as the test ground is even more frustrating. Both for bugs and lack of polish to such a huge overhaul of the game fundamentals. But largely the damage is done and getting people to come back is always tough once they have decoupled from regularly engaging with the game. The increase of MTX is whatever too, i see what they are doing but after 8k hrs its hard to bitch too much about optional stuff. I might be more inclined to open my wallet if they weren't outfits. If we get stash space, that would be swell, but its still probably not enough. They really should make modifiers saved into a loadout.

[@christophermiller1595]

For real though.. . Especially the storage space part.

[@moosejaw50]

I can't play it anymore. Things are so broken it feels like they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic to get people to play. None of this will matter, the game will probably be shut within a year. Lets hope D3 isn't so broken at launch.

[@danielwesterlund9408]

As a returning player I just started to play on PS5 and this night I found out a thing that makes sniping with scopes A LOT easier than on PS4. When a head is in the crosshair you feel a click in the controller and that is a game changer for me. Now I don't need Determent and can go all out with Mantis and Ekim's Long Stick with scope and the Decoy. The PS5 controller is fantastic! 💥🤩💥

[@baadhabit]

I’m super glad they’re planning to make changes. But I have to ask, didn’t this go through a testing period before rolling this out? Why did they think these modifiers/directives were good? Did anyone in the testing phase not tell them this was crap then?

[@unitoolzee]

How great would it be if Massive actually tested their changes prior to dumping them onto the players? The fact that they just shipped this crap and are going to fix it later really says all you need to know about the people that lead the dev team.

[@ilaril]

The enemy modifiers where a rough wake-up for me. First enemy was one that ate my health when I tried to kill it. I still can't remember what icon does what, so I either deal with them long range sniper, or 100% hazres with the "payment in kind" smg. So glad we have the best event going on now, as this shreds enemies with the flatline. Edit: I love the fact that one can enable and disable the modifiers when ever. That meant that the journey wasn't that much of a grind for me, since could do things without those too.

[@jsiswojo]

[@matthewrittenhouse1387]

Who thought it was a good idea to give the enemy any more advantages than they already had?

[@benman1455]

Let the devs loose some players because of the modifiers and they'll figure it out how they broke the game

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

Five years ago you could occasionally meet the devs in the game. Not anymore.

[@BusyBadger]

Div 2 was pretty much all I played, 6000+ hour player, after Massive's Incompetence & missteps I've pretty much dropped it for Space Marine 2.

[@epjpeg]

as much as i shit on this game, gotta give props to the developers for still updating the game

[@danielwesterlund9408]

I like the fact that you with the range buffs have a lot more build diversity as a sniper. Now I can run with more defensive attributes and still make head shot kills in heroic. As a returning player I have not yet unlocked any modifiers, but I am doing pretty fine anyway. The one I dislike most is the one where I lose health when hitting an enemy. But after all I am happy that I can feel powerful as a sniper with more heals and that all MMR:s now are valid options in builds.

[@happy5642642]

I dont know why some people are ok with the shock bullet modifier, remember when Black Tusk has that with special bullet on and they eventually changed it to emp bullet? Why would they make the same thing again?

[@abyssphantom6786]

I think many, don’t want to partake in the modifiers because they are against the seasonal character idea. Instead, the devs changed and made us feel like we have to do make seasonal only builds. So instead of remaking characters completely each season, it will be remaking builds based around the different modifiers each season. Now, I’m pretty sure they haven’t confirmed if we will have to refarm all our own modifiers and builds each season. (It’s one thing for players to want to make new builds, but another issue when players are somewhat forced into new or specific builds solely because of temporary season buffs) Another part, is that many players don’t feel like they need more power, and enjoy the challenge from the game. And our own modifiers feel a little too strong. Others I’ve talked to on this, don’t necessarily want the vanilla experience of the game, just that they don’t want it to change it a power fantasy that trivializes enemies too much.

[@steelrain5626]

The devs are incompetent at best

[@pj3461]

I hate to be so negative but all I got from this is (especially based on what they put out) more garbage and bugs . I’d honestly rather they left it as is and just fix the UI issues . If the icons always displayed properly I wouldn’t care . I enjoy how powerful ALL builds are now .

[@terrynichols4509]

The matchmaking issue for modifiers should be fixed, but the place where the modifiers currently are isn't in that bad of a spot. Shock is annoying, but honestly, it's not that bad. It's manageable. If people are having that big of a problem with shock, then they should take a step back and look at how they're going into these encounters. Most of them are probably trying to go into fights with the run n gun mindset without looking at what modifiers the enemies have

[@bmw575]

I will admit i HATED modifiers but when I watched this one shot build 😵😵 it changed my mind. I'm liking them now.

[@morne4080]

Honestly they should had pushed and incentive players to play in groups, like If you play with others, the modifiers from enemies are tuned down the more people in your team.

[@appealinbanana]

I’m enjoying Modifiers way more than Directives. Modifiers: More power = more fun 👍🏼 Directives: Less fun = more XP 🥴 Don’t get me wrong the shock, burn or ‘shoot yourself in the face’ enemy mods are totally annoying. Loving The Lexington but they should have given a rusty weapon skin to us day one players.

[@TuxedoBandido]

I got a build for you coming tomorrow.

[@sycopupy]

Sure, now that i've made a build to completely neutralize shock effects, they remove it.

Just give us the modifiers, and make the enemies tankier. I don't understand why we're getting gimmicked into dying

[@_The_Black_Cerberus_]

I’m one of the 50% not playing with modifiers I tried it and the enemy modifiers are to busted especially when this season modifier is about shooting at different ranges and the enemy has a modifier that loops all the damage back at its source if they are being shot at a medium range is ridiculous and none of the player modifiers can counter or negate its damage

[@TheTrueStarscreen]

I want to get behind the modifiers, I really really do, but getting shocked trapped and killed so often that I’ve no choice but to turn them off. It’s becoming a nuisance

[@canadiantechprep]

There is a bug where Kelso follows you around on the top floor of the Grand Washington Hotel...you have to drop a grenade to get her to back off...I have the same problem with a lot of ladies irl.

[@is0latedplays453]

They really need to improve the initial impression with the modifiers. At first i felt very overwhelmed too and just got pissed at that shock ammo thing. But as i unlocked all of my modifiers, it really doesn't me bother me at all. In fact i totally enjoy modifiers now. I know how all of it works and can always position myself to get the maximum advantage. All they need to do is guide players through that initial phase properly. When they can do that, I am pretty sure 80% of the people will enjoy it.

[@Tubes78]

I was hoping they would address the rampant cheating in the DZ. Lagswitch, aimbot, wallhacks etc. Cheaters aren’t even hiding it anymore because they don’t get banned.

That new outfit is pretty cool dude. I'll rock it for sure.

[@DeMon_SlaYer-Dave]

Tux, you're about the only one talking about their live stream discussion and have been opening honest about your feelings about the state of modifiers. Atm KZbiners just talk about the Lexington and builds, nothing else. Probably why modifiers are they way they are. They didn't test them before the Pts, and streamers didn't criticise enough, so many just said they were amazing. That's probably why Tux doesn't get codes, lol. No ass kissed.

[@t0nyhayabusa178]

So I've noticed that when I don't have a modifier equipped, it still counts towards the challenges. Rank 6 with Liability? Killing Elites at close range and it's still counting when not equipped.

[@djsmith6247]

How about making the season journey progression a co-op thing, you know because it a co-op game? Whats the incentive to invite your old friends or clan mates back in to the game if kills and other progression aren’t shared? The devs basically force you to play solo.

Hey, Tux! I am 100% not trying to be a d*ck but the most common pronunciation of "Requital" is not "ree-quit-el." It is closer to "ree-quite-el." No judgement. It likely means you learned it by reading it somewhere and I would never shame someone for learning from reading. Genuinely, just a bit of advice. That said, my issue is the idea of tying Season Pass XP to this new system in any way shape or form. If I pay X dollars to get a premium pass, which I have done, why should the thing I paid for be, in any way, gated behind content I may not like. If I don't run modifiers, I may be missing out on more damage or survivability or whatever, but there should never be an instance where getting seasonal gear that I paid for is limited in any way by that system.
