God I miss the aesthetics of the Division 1. It's probably just me but Div1 snowy new york and the gear and clothes looked so much better than the stuff in Div2.

[@jules10001000]

Yep I agree

[@dripgod5517]

Definitely not just you, game has a completely different vibe and its not a bad thing.

[@endlessexp595]

“its probably just me but-“ *insert very popular opinion copy pasta*

[@arkadiuszmazur5386]

It's not just you. The first Division outclasses the second part. After all, even the characters there look like paralytics. That's what it looks like.

[@ed4096]

The atmosphere and the soundtrack in Division 1 got to me like no other game I've ever played. Immersion is not overrated...

[@bartosz3837]

So many memories and hours spent in Div1 playing endgamr content, underground, legendary, incursions and survival DLC.

[@pinseeker91]

It is crazy to think it held that record for 6 years. To me the franchise doesn't get the attention it deserves from the gaming community but I am thankful it's still standing.

[@SupportHomelandDivision]

They just need to create a function that allows people to run a private server using their own systems. Then promote mod creation, so they can focus on different parts of the division franchise.

[@djsmith6247]

Ubisoft will never allow it.

[@graphosencrenoir4006]

that remind me of that group of hardcore players that are keeping alive MGS Online...and you can still play it....even tho Konami kill the servers long time ago.

[@icicle4829]

mod creation idk about that but privat servers would be most logical

[@ericbourbeau1284]

nothing better then a saturday mourning, a coffee, and a survival run in div 1

[@ded3307]

I've made many friends on the Division 1 and played it while chatting with them on Discord. When it's the day that Div 1 is going to shut down, I'm gonna tell them we need to play it one last time before our nostalgia of this game is gone forever. I'll be emotional and in tears saying goodbye to this game when the time has come for all the memories it created for me

[@zephyr2002]

It would be sad to see a game like The Division become unplayable. Look at how many people are still enjoying retro games from 30 years ago. I really hope a solution is found.

[@Saturn591]

No more survival hard to process if it does happen to shut down 😢

[@Paraboarder]

I still play Division 1. It's one of my top ten games of all time. Just got a few friends to finally try it out. They love it. We plan on moving to D2 eventually, but there is something special about D1 that is different. For a game this old, it holds up amazingly well and is far better than most games that come out now.

[@dantealighieri7234]

I don't know how possible it would be, but it'd be awesome if at the end of Div 2's life cycle they just "add" the entirety of Div 1 to it like what L4D2 did with L4D1.

[@RogueGold]

Anything's possible if you put enough time and money behind it, but that would require *a ton* of work, at least from my understanding of game development 😄

[@floridaprepper751]

I have not played div 1 in a year or so. That is my favorite. Love playing div 2 also. Can not wait to play heartland, or the brooklyn expansion. Hope they arrive soon. Thanks for the update on div 1.

[@TheDetonation]

I'm actually playing Division 1 right now, I MUCH prefer the gameplay of 2 but the atmosphere is unmatched in the first game. I'm going through the story on a new character then I'll probably go back to Division 2. Man, I miss winter time NYC lol.

[@RogueGold]

Both games absolutely have their strengths and weaknesses, no doubt!

YES

[@sydgerald]

Div1 is one of my favorite games, I have over 5600 hrs. On PC, it was the first multiplayer game I've ever played and I love it. Through the years I met a lot of nice people, but as time passed, the numbers dwindled (mostly due to hackers)I haven't played div1 since April, because I'm abroad, but when I left, there were not many people on PC. I wish we had cross-platform gameplay, I know in console, there's still a fair number of people playing. When I go back home in July I'll log in and hopefully the game's still playable. Thanks for the info.

[@stephenwallace5448]

what build are you running? looks awesome

[@RogueGold]

[@Privacy_in_public]

This question has nothing to do with this video. I can’t figure out how to check my level on ( not sure what it’s called) wings? When you help someone and they endorse you (call for back) how do I see my level?

[@RogueGold]

I don't have the game at hand right now to verify, but I believe if you open up your mega-map, there's a tab dedicated to "Shepherding" or something similar, and it will display your Shepherd rank. Should be a few tabs to the right once you open it, I believe.

[@LordSaliss]

According to Down Detector it appears servers have been unavailable for the time since around when this video was made, and I cannot play for the last week I have tried. Says servers are unavailable.

[@RogueGold]

Maybe look into alternative internet access, etc.? Servers have been up and accessible for myself and anyone else I know in the community

[@___Yep___]

The day these servers shut down i swear ill have a full blown funeral for this game , its the light of my life , every year i always cycle between the same games FO4 , FNV , GTAO , div 1 & div 2 and rdr2 !! We as a community gotta keep the division 1 ALIVE ❤

[@oooSECTORooo]

I have thought the same thing as you say, but in addition to that, I think it would not be positive for the franchise either. Because when TD3 comes out, many will want to know where the story began, and unless they make a remaster of TD1, then they should leave the game as it is. So I think that once TD3 comes out, at least for 2 or 3 more years we will have the servers online. So from now on, as you say, I think at least 10 years. taking into account that I think TD3 would come out in about 4 or 5 years. And I don't name heartlands and Resurgence, because that would be even more weight for this not to happen. You have to stay calm, it is just a moment of transition, we will have more news soon.

[@focusofthefuture8689]

I've only been playing the game since like last week so knowing I can still play for a while longer is pretty reassuring

[@lmbdivision]

@redmike3675 Not sure on that, they haven't said one way or the other.

[@AB1Marvellous]

I think too, that the division is safe for now. Cause the way I see it as a gamer for 4 decades, that if one division game dies they all die(just saying) but yeah the division is ubisoft's best shooter and just the best creation of a game period by a gaming studio. Like Sanford and son, NO OTHER SHOW CAN EVER BE BETTER. Love division with all my gaming heart.

[@b3ardedragon921]

I wish a bunch of people would give div 2 a break and hop back on division 1. I casually walked into the darkzone and found myself in a dz wide manhunt. So much fun.

[@torchhead1739]

tbh I would like survival more since there's already conflict but last stand is more players and that means more fun lol

[@j.a.eaglestarsmart1005]

I don't think they will because new players to resurgence and Div 2 will need Div 1 to bring them up to speed on the beginning of where we are now.

[@nolangaukroger7052]

I think the DLC is keeping Div1 alive as Survival is still popular. Though if the Div.3 brings in a Survival mode then they might close down Div.1

[@kevincarter7386]

never played d1 is it 30 or 60 fps on ps5

[@RogueGold]

I believe it's 30FPS on PS5. It's 60 on Series X/S though ;)

[@robocop0211]

As a brand new Division 1 player (started a week ago), I have to say I'm loving the setting, gameplay loop, and exploration. Game looks like it could have come out this year, less some of the AI. Still running into plenty of players, on Playstation, too.

Glad you're enjoying! It's a technical feat, no doubt 🙌

[@Saint300Sparta]

I literally just bought the division 1 like 2 weeks ago and I've been playing it non-stop every night I probably already put about 30 hours into it and it's probably my favorite game now and what I'm really worried about is even though I don't play online and I haven't I just play single player even though I know it's connected to the internet has there been any rumors if they do shut down the servers that they can take off those features and allow us to still play single player because that's going to suck if I paid for the gold expansion edition and I have all these unlocks and all these things that I paid for and all these credits and everything and then I pour my life and a couple hundred hours into this game that I love that they just rip out of my hands because they decide they're not going to keep the servers up anymore I mean am I going to get a refund or what do we do here?

[@RogueGold]

It's an ongoing debate in the industry about publisher responsibility for digital "services." As of right now there's no legal responsibility for them to provide alternative access once online servers go down. That said- I'm quite confident that won't be an issue for Division 1 for many years.

[@realgamergirl4638]

just bought it on sale I hope they don't kill it. it's been a fun experience

[@graphosencrenoir4006]

I play Division 2 daily, but from time to time i go in Div1 and i still play it. Underground is my favorite part, i keep doing that...and also pier survival, that is good to farm stuff. For me is strange as i got Division 1 long time after i start playing a lot Div2, so i like them both.

Does dark zone could be a staple of Ubisoft but they refuse to open this game up. Kind of like how war zone is this game. Would be amazing if they would just keep supporting it. So many great memories in this game that makes me want to go play it again at least just for a little bit

Have to be honest even with the cross game rewards I feel the first game will eventually shutdown but I feel like it’ll go away after maybe 3 comes out or maybe in 2 years idk. Mainly I hope they put some sort of update that makes it not online only but I know that’ll most likely never happen.

[@user-wu5zu7im5z]

I wish all developers could do this. Sucks you just have to let your game die forever.

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

I very much hope you're right. I've been worried about Division 1 for a while, and I'm even more worried about it right now, given how Skull & Bones is failing. Ubisoft was really counting on Skull & Bones, so if it does crash and burn, they may look to cut costs everywhere they can, and I'm worried Div 1 might be one of the casualties.

[@RogueGold]

I actually have gotten the sense that they had very little faith or care about S&B, at least from recent reporting. Apparently the only thing that kept it from being canceled years ago is some weird contract or agreement they had with the Singaporean government. I think they're banking *waaay* more on Star Wars Outlaws and AC Red this year

[@MatthiasPowerbomb]

@@RogueGoldHuh. Maybe I was wrong. It seemed like they were really banking on it, but maybe not. If you're right, that's actually good news because it means it's not as much of a disaster as it would've been had they put all their chips on it succeeding.

[@andrewhaines90]

As a new player into the Division world, I would say keeping Div 1 up and running is the right thing to do, and here is why, from my point of view as a new player. I have started playing Div 2 about a month ago, and have been having a really amazing time with it, getting close to starting the end game, and levelling up has been a blast. Naturally it has made me super curious about Div 1, and I plan to play through Div 1 once I am finished with Div 2. And I think that will be the case for a lot of new players, especially as the hype build and we get more content for Div 2, Heartland and Div 3.

[@maverick_cw]

Believe it was Fredrick Thylander way, way long ago that addressed the question of The Division 1 being playable offline and his response had to do with (not verbatim) TD1 being so big of a game, not just map wise (and there are several individual maps that would have to be made available offline to make the game complete, like the Dark Zone, Underground, West Side Piers, the incursion maps - those are all different, separate maps) but all the files and folders that control loot spawns, NPC spawns, NPC behavior and...well, you get it...that if they made Div1 (and even worse Div2 which is even more massive [pun intended]) available for offline play, the file size for the game would be far too big for even high end gaming PCS; and forget about it being available offline for consoles! Also...the Dark Zone is PvE...vP! Without other players...the Dark Zone would be basically useless. Even if they configured and programmed in AI Rogues...it wouldn't be the same. Sorry for long-windedness. Knew that answer to the question and wanted to try to help.

This actually would be my dream about this game because i want to go free roam in dark zone without those pvpidiot cheaters around

[@Libertarian1776]

It would be very foolish to shut down Div 1 simply because it's a story driven franchise and you have a better chance of selling more copies of Div 3 if new players can get the story as a whole by playing Div 1 and Div 2. I'd LOVE to see a 10th anniversary remaster of Div 1 that would be about the only reason to shut the O.G. down, IMO.

[@RogueGold]

That's definitely a component as well- it's hard to tell an ongoing story if the first chapter gets taken away

It is completely within Ubisoft's capabilities to make the game offline but they won't do it. It is exactly what happened with The crew, the game is soo good with a proper story and soo many vehicles to chose from, also the entire USA map, its unique but it requires internet connection for nothing. Other cars AI is not even that great that it has to be offloaded to the servers, its basic car racing game AI, similarly how division enemy AI are, not so great. But they won't, its just losing stakeholder money but losing trust of their customers is worse. Reason why I aint buying Ubisoft games anymore or any online only games.

[@RogueGold]

The Crew and Division's designs are completely different. Division's world detail and scale is immensely higher, which all takes more memory, rendering, etc. One of the lead Devs on the team recently explained why offline mode is all but impossible for Division 👉 x.com/Palle_Hoffstein/status/1800950087717453981

[@user-tm3cc8jb9s]

WTF 🤔????

[@TheMadwizz]

@RogueGold As much as love for Div1 to live on forever. The rewards plan for playing all The Division games do not prove that they will not shutdown Div1. If you recall at one time there was plans for a tablet companion app that lets you play as drone with your friends in the main game. They even had a gameplay video showing it in action. But it was later cancelled. If Ubisoft can cancel a big project like that then removing Div1 from bonus reward for playing it in other games is easy.

[@RogueGold]

To be fair, I never said what's covered in this video "proves" anything one way or the other. I just believe that Division 1's inclusion in that system indicates that Ubisoft wants it to be a component of the growing Division franchise moving forward. Certainly plans can change over time, though, so we'll see what happens 👍

[@sepehrmontakhab7952]

[@dirrrtydawg9772]

What would have been better is of they would have just made D2 dlc for the D1. Everything from WoNY could have just expanded the world and kept all the teams together. The servers wouldnt even be an issue. You could have kept your agent. They could have added the new brand sets and other gear. And it would have been one cohesive title. For a dlc as large as DC O would have paid the same price as a standalone title. They dropped the ball. Now I am counting the days when they shut down the servers like Socom US NAVY SEALS. The best 3rd shooter I uave ever had the joy to play online. We could have had both Brooklyn and Central park. And some other places from the surrounding areas. Think about it. They MASSIVELY dropped the ball. Too focused on the green eyed monster I suppose. In the end it will be the Dollar Flu that truly killed the Division.

[@GG_1318]

they killed the crew 1 and they will kill the division 1

[@Malacite]

Respectfully, I strongly feel that thinking Div 1 will last beyond 2025 - or quite possibly even past 2024 - is sheer copium. It is not cheap to maintain a single live service title, nevermind multiple ones. Frankly we're lucky that Div 2 is still going. I am NOT trying to be a hater, I adore this franchise and it saddens me that Div 1 will likely shutdown soon - forever. That is tragically the fate of all live service games in the end (and it's a big part of why I dislike the format) We have a DLC for 2 coming up, in addition to Heartland (eventually) and Resurgence. And because both of those are going to be F2P, that means there will be more pressure to monetize them which means they're going to want to funnel players over. Continuing to support Div 1 just doesn't make financial sense for Ubisoft. You may not want to hear that, but it's the truth. And even though Div 2 has a year 6 confirmed, I wouldn't bank on too much after that. There's a very strong possibility that in wake of all the cancelled games (and Skull & Bones absolutely tanking as expected) that they are all hands on deck to rush Div 3. I still wouldn't expect that before 2027 at the earliest but it's practically a guarantee at this point that Div 3 is getting a huge priority now which in and of itself is WILD. Best case scenario, they release some kind of video recap of the first two games before they get taken down ahead of Div 3 - maybe even a standalone offline version though that's probably hoping for too much.

Maybe! We'll see what happens :)

Division 1 >>>>>>>>>>> division 2

[@lchgamer5598]

if so then why not those items, weapons and gear can be transferred to division 2 since if UBI decided to shut down the division 1

[@RogueGold]

Way too complex in terms of balancing. Gear in the first game vs. Div 2 work in entirely different systems

Is if heartland is coming anytime soon.....

[@angrymanny4810]

Jut make it offline

[@MuadDiiib]

When i bought the game. There was nothing in the TOS that said it would shut down in the future.

[@mr.nonederful3314]

To say they'll "investigate" it seems disingenuous. That indicates they don't know why there is no GE and I don't believe that. They're trying to imply there was some glitch somewhere and they never bothered to mention it? nah... not buying it. Guess I better get in there and run it again while I can. Despite all the issues created by the team, it's still the greatest game I've ever played, my all time favorite.

You don't have a compelling argument. Heartland is canceled and the devs have given up on all the lagswitchers. If they cared for the division. At least reverse it back to 1.8.2 or 1.7.1 and hire a few people just tp deal with lagswitching reports. I can do this for free. If they hire me I'll clean the darkzone on my servers of all lagswitchers. With video proof. But they don't care mate.
