#TheDivision #TheDivision2 #TheDivision3 - Hry
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.
Yep I agree
Definitely not just you, game has a completely different vibe and its not a bad thing.
“its probably just me but-“ *insert very popular opinion copy pasta*
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.
The atmosphere and the soundtrack in Division 1 got to me like no other game I've ever played. Immersion is not overrated...
So many memories and hours spent in Div1 playing endgamr content, underground, legendary, incursions and survival DLC.
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.
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.
Ubisoft will never allow it.
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.
mod creation idk about that but privat servers would be most logical
This game is too good to let die off
Division shall live on forever! (I hope lol)
🤞🤞
Nikt nie będzie się tym zajmował facet kłamie nie widzisz że nie masz zdarzenia globalnego? Serwery duchowe łączą tak po cichu że nawet nie będziemy o tym wiedzieć ja też tęsknię ci będę za tą grą ale przykro mi 3 miesiące 4 miesiące koniec🥹
nothing better then a saturday mourning, a coffee, and a survival run in div 1
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
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.
No more survival hard to process if it does happen to shut down 😢
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.
Both games absolutely have their strengths and weaknesses, no doubt!
i have 4 characters on Division 1 all maxed mutli classified load outs for pve / pvp , i do the daily assignments every day on all 4 not bad a for an old duffer of 70 plus
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.
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.
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 😄
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.
👍👍
I play Div 1 every day i do the 3 daily assignments crafting combat and dark zone .on 4 characters this helps my 70 year old hands with arthritis i play div 2 3 characters but i only pop on and off i am stuck with one character in newyork end missionn keynor cant do it solo :(
If you need help with keener in division 2, there are always people willing to help on division 2 discord
In what system you play on? I play on ps5 but have it on pc as well. Dont mind helping out.
We can do that together ign Quantamskillz
Which system are you on? If PS4/5, I can run with you!
thanks i use a pc only but i only go on random i appreciate the offer tho a lot @@roisanaries
Thanks for the update, RG.
👍 Thanks for watching!
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.
EIGHT MORE YEARS
YES
I've only been playing the game since like last week so knowing I can still play for a while longer is pretty reassuring
Defence build with the apartment was my shit.
Tactic build works well for me on legendary Amherst A. Sticky b. and seeker m. I change to turret to talk to Hunter privately when there are no others around 🙂
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.
Hopped back on Div1 after 4 years and was surprised the DZ was still active
I want Last Stand in Division 2. Do it!
tbh I would like survival more since there's already conflict but last stand is more players and that means more fun lol
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.
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
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 🙌
Ty for keeping up the d1 content
👍👊
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.
Deff was looking foward to div 1 global events . I think they are awesome . Great vid .
Thank you!
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.
Thanks for the update RG and sorry for the Tweet barrage from myself about this.
Nothing to be sorry for! Just wanted to share the info and my take on the matter with the larger community :)
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.
Maybe look into alternative internet access, etc.? Servers have been up and accessible for myself and anyone else I know in the community
If there is one thing I would love to see be put into Div 1 if ANY of the developers can find the time to do is implement Rogue encounters like in Division 2
They are there in the underground exactly what you described.
@@djsmith6247 rather fight them in the streets than Underground. And as far as I know those are Hunters not Rogue Agents
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?
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.
D3 needs to be closer to D1 than D2's everyone's got a shield and no signature skills crap.
what build are you running? looks awesome
6-piece Classified AlphaBridge! 👍
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.
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
@@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.
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
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?
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.
I would love to have the division. One servers available for download so that I could play It once they decide to let it go into the either.
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.
just bought it on sale
I hope they don't kill it. it's been a fun experience
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.
Appreciate the insight greatly! I'll have to track that thread down someday 😄
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.
I wish all developers could do this. Sucks you just have to let your game die forever.
I completed descent and the project is also marked complete but didn't get the comm. Anyone else have the same problem?
It's a bug, they're fixing the issue in the upcoming TU20.2 Patch 👉 trello.com/c/cB9tv4wC/199-descent-no-new-collectibles-are-received-when-completing-the-weekly-project
@@RogueGold Thanks for the reply, do you know if they plan to look at how many comms players a missing and to compensate them? or is it just to fix the issue and move on?
@redmike3675 Not sure on that, they haven't said one way or the other.
I remember when I bought my PS4 back in march 2016 I had to choose between 3 games, 1-The Division 2- Cod BO3 3- FIFA 16. Some how I wanted to discover this "New Game" Now I could proudly say this is the best game I've ever played.
It's absolutely a gem within the industry!
Sure it is! Please keep us updated, I LOVE you videos so much 🤩@@RogueGold
Chciałem zauważyć że mamy dzisiaj 14 maja już powinno być informowanie po uruchomieniu gry iż zdarzenie globalne odbędzie się za 24 godziny będzie 15 maja i zobaczycie że nie będzie żadnego zdarzenia globalnego typu blackout ani żadnego innego
They are still selling Div 1 in stores , Global events never should have stopped. Div 1 dz so much better than D2
Dude thanks I even contacted Ubisoft just to get a automated message appreciate the update
👍👍
Ayoo, watching alpha bridge gameplay made me shed a tear 🥹🥹
1:07 - Division 1 have best Global Events. Also y could've choose harder version of event, I dont remeber how it was called. Event tier?
There were the additional modifiers you could place onto missions and other instanced content, I believe
I enjoy this one more than the second one
I'd like them to make an offline mode so we can replay the campaign part.
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.
That's definitely a component as well- it's hard to tell an ongoing story if the first chapter gets taken away
I still jump on D1 for Survival Sundays....come back and play it incase they do shut it down. Nothing like it.
they should allow mods like breakpoint
So answer me a question...why does it appear on steam like single player
I hope they don’t shutdown D1! I still go back and play it the regular game, but the part I do play continuously is “Survival!” If anything how about moving “Survival” to D2!
Not gonna happen.
D2 is far more broken and unbalanced than d1.
Is there any news about this? are global events coming back? what is the official game network to comment on this? thanks for the video!
They're still working on it 👍 The only place I've seen them officially communicate about it is Twitter 👉 twitter.com/TheDivisionGame
@@RogueGold thanks man!!
Would love to go back to it and play some Underground or Survival, but the game was nearly unplayable on PS5 the last time I tried. Terribly choppy, laggy, low FPS. It ran so much better on PS4.
It was a godsend for Microsoft to enable 60FPS on the Series consoles
Im hoping they actually make Div 1 offline. Ive always been stuck playing Div 1 solo because non of my friends play it. I always struggle with builds and playing it solo for this long. It would be nice to mod it or use a trainer of some kind without being banned.
hey, any thoughts about Division heartland ?
Many thoughts :)
They cancelled it lmao!
never played d1 is it 30 or 60 fps on ps5
I believe it's 30FPS on PS5. It's 60 on Series X/S though ;)
Division 1 until 2030 min it still holds up today in all respects
These games would have been big big, if community would have been allow to make mods and publish them in game after a community vote.
Imagine having exactly what we wanted in game made by us and voted by all players?!!
Something like that TennoGen for Warframe...
i will refrain from using my restorer hive and chem restorer in the dz until fixed
I'm kinda ok if the GE is gone (I know it still sucks if it's truly gone) but at least they still let us come back to New York, and I believe they won't keep us out.
New player here, i've been looking to play this game for many years, and i've been searching for Global Events but still wont come out, there are rumors said that the game will close its server, and i hope its not true, i hope GE will be updated soon, im on grinding to get strikers battlegear, i hope this game still open until for many years at least until the division 3 come out, even though is not possible... 👋
I hope you enjoy your time with TD1! I wouldn't worry about any imminent shutdown, we should still have a long time to play and enjoy it 🙂
there is another way you can grind for classified. you can matchmake with any person doing resistance challenge, killing boss at dz area and also matchmake for legendary mission.
I'm so glad I just played through and finished this game in case they do decide to end it. Hoping they don't for awhile though so I can work through commendations
I hope they are not gonna shutting down the division 1. I want this game to stay forever. Or if they do not like to support it more, i hope they are gonna release an update that the game is going to be like any single player game, that you buying it and you have it in your game list and play it any time until you die. This actually would be my dream about this game because i want to go free roam in dark zone without those pvpidiot cheaters around
bro its not letting me join
Playing it for five years i think im off now,i quit doesn't have something to do and keep me entertained only waiting for division 3 just if is something good new and more enjoyable. I hope for new servers no pc crashing no bad pvp character must jumb thats a hilarious no one tells it!
I honestly don't think they will shut down the Div 1 servers until Div3 is released!
👍👍
Didn't one of their road maps mention the Division 1?
In terms of them adding new features/content? Nope
@@RogueGold it didn't mention anything about content, but they did say the Division 1 still has a future.
Dont shut down it im starting play it huhuhuhuh
I wouldn't worry too much :)
Soon..
Nah at least a year
Ubisoft are facing massive financial issues as far as I'm aware. All this cutting content and them struggling financially came be a coincidence
It is the better Division game. I hope they dont shut it down. Its in my top 10 best games ever made.
Hard to believe that answere from Ubisoft. "It's still under investigation" It's not a crime, it's your game. How hard can it be? just log into the server and start the damn Global Event.
At least let them know that they will never make a better game than Div 1. Never.
regardless of the content they post or what you see online, they aren’t coming back, it’s been over 2 months since the last global event which hasn’t ever since global events were released
D1 still looks glorious
Sure does!
Sepi_m ,anyone wanna play division 1 with me?!
Division 1 >>>>>>>>>>> division 2
@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.
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 👍
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 :)
WTF 🤔????
It will close in 1 year Ubisoft executives are currently discussing a closing date for The Division, and it will most likely be within a year or so. "I cannot reveal the name of my source or my position at Ubisoft for obvious reasons."
I found this post source from steam it was just posted 4 hours ago it is April 5th today since I commented on this form on CZcams
My own sources convey the exact opposite sentiment. So we'll see what happens!
🤙🏽🤙🏽
Is if heartland is coming anytime soon.....
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.
Jut make it offline
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
Way too complex in terms of balancing. Gear in the first game vs. Div 2 work in entirely different systems
First 😇😇
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.
imagine keep a team who make the game and let them build more city / map, grow tha the game, keep fresh and you have perfect live service, game growing, population is fine, but NO UBI always release game x1 DLC and abandon move to next game, good i hate that company
Games need to be disc based again. Digital licenses is crap.
I won't to play The devision E3, not retail version
Ever wonder how hard it is for Ubisoft to do their damn jobs?
Cause it ain't that hard to do something you PLEDGE and WANTED to do, hence why you enter that field.
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.
The division is never shutting down
Well Servers cost money
One day D1 is gonna go end of service
Yall dont buy enough stuff in the D1 Store to keep it up another 2 years
Go and spend €$¥ to keep being like „Ohh back in the day…“
🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀
This is STILL a favorite game to play! They shut it down and dont allow players to play a game they bought, gonna be a lot of pissed off people!
We, all agents worldwide, have to make a promise:
When time of Div servers is coming to its end, we have to log in on every platforms and move to a concrete place of DZ and make some emotes or the same dance all at once to celebrate and say goodbye to this amazing game.
Who's with me?? SPREAD THIS WORDS.
I'm with you. I'm happy to pay tribute to the best game in the world.Now that GE has buried that time is closer than it seems.
