The Division 2 Is A PERFECT Game (This Title Is Sarcastic) 

It's not that it's broken, it's the silence from ubisoft, shows what they think of the franchise

I don't know, but something that annoys me is that many of these defects we are having to put up with is due to developments that the player base hasn't asked for and doesn't want, and its made worse when we see how quickly they can mobilise when it's to nerfs something that is benefitting the players. Bad code base or not, what they seem to be lacking is code and version control,QA processes and build management which are nothing to do with bad code base.

As a programmer, it's very clear to me they have no testers whatsoever. Someone touches the code and they ship it out the door without any validation tests. Some of these issues are so painfully obvious it should of never went out the door like that. The word incompetent comes to mind. My shade level is over 14,000 before anyone thinks I'm just dissing on it. It has issues and they should be called out on them. You don't need to explain yourself, you are critical when you need to be.

My question is, how long are we supposed to continue to feel sorry for the team/publisher for shooting themselves in the foot? After how many times do we go, "You know, we told you that wouldn't be good, yet you did it anyway." Everything the player base is experiencing was/is induced by the dev team and the developer. Where does their accountability come in? When do we get a statement from Ubi that they are ACTUALLY invested in the franchise that is not just a hogwash press release that actually means nothing? When are actually going to give the resources needed to fix the things they promised they would? Fix it, or let it die.

i never even knew my chambered bullet wasnt supposed to disappear😭

A division 2 team social media thread would be perfect, so long as they keep it up to date.

Tech debt...in laymans terms...all the known issues, inefficient code, and quirks that devs must leave in the game in order to get all the other stuff done that the players and management expect to be delivered.

This is my favorite Game Franchise Division, Division 2 but i think I'm done with this game for now so taking a break. It feels like they want this game to die out

I love the game but it’s losing the ability to make it better

Great video. Thanks for sharing your perspective. Just one ask....when you show your game play footage during the voiceover, can you put links in the description of the builds you're using if you've covered them in a previous video? I'm a build freak and when i see builds that look interesting, i like to see if they fit my play style. Thanks again for keeping the community engaged.

I think a big part of the "silence" from the devs is caused by two main things. One sometimes it's best to just burry your head in the problem and not come up for air until the problem is fixed. And two, as much as it sucks to say, a SIGNIFICANT portion of the people complaining say some of the most disgusting and toxic comments possible to the devs. Some of the stuff I've seen people say would make anyone not wanna respond. Another thing is, like 95% of the people complaining have literally no idea how game development (Or coding in general) works and are like, "Oh HURR DURR, FIX GAME" Do people realize just how many line of code go into a game of this size? SEVERAL THOUSAND. You said it best, the devs could touch one line of code and it breaks something on the complete other side of the code string.

It was amazing to see the game's development revitalized. However, I believe some players like me feel frustrated by recurring bugs. For example, a bug apperar and will fix on patch 1, and in the next patch, appear again. This seems to be happening frequently, as seen with the broken running animation and crafting table glitch. It feels like a lot of time is spent fixing problems that should have been resolved, which suggests a challenge in the QA team's validation process. Additionally, the ammunition issue, especially with the Rock n Roll, has persisted since the Project Resolve patch and remains a significant annoyance. I'm hopeful that the game will regain its hype once again. The upcoming Brooklyn DLC might just be the chance they need to make that happen.

IMO It is pointless to keep adding new stuff when the base game itself isn't playable. Fix the roots first, then think about new stuff. But then Ubisoft can't make money fast enough. And that is the reality.

Right now Div2 is a ghost town. Even the last few die-hards in Div2 are playing The First Descendant. It is not a great replacement for Division, it really lacks the co-op feel that I like, but it is going to pull agents from Div2 because they are simply bored.

Play the first descendant, it works unlike a certain game we talk about

The only bug I have found that operation resolve fixed was the constant pc crashes… This was the worst bug we had & I am grateful that got fixed.

First, I wanna say: though I may disagree with you at times, this is standard fare. You are a person and we will disagree. Keep making content how you need/want it to be designed. Second, I really thought losing the chambered round was just part of the game. Somewhere along the line I had some dissonance about it and that became standard. Bugs I understand and am patient for. I wish they had a bigger team so that these things could be rolled out and taken care of more easily for them than now. Third, how you expressed how it sucks to play the game with these bugs and you understand it lessening the experience for people…I can’t speak for anyone else; but thats how I feel about seasonal characters. Fourth and I know this is circling back…you as a streamer. I really value that you will at least talk AND disagree politely. I am sorry that there are turd muffins out there who make it bad for you. And honestly, you’re the only streamer I actively follow for Div2. When the seasonal stuff came out (before they made the follow-up announcement) I disagreed with another streamer about how much information Massive gave and what it told us. I was never impolite nor offensive. My comments were deleted moments after I made them. Sucked not being able to even disagree. Anyways, if you read all of this, I appreciate you and keep doin what you’re doin.

Very good video Rogue ! Just the 2 solutions you proposed would significally improve both the state of the game and the players/devs relation. And i think both of these solutions are totally doable with a little bit of good will. Communication is key and we shouldn't have to beg to get some answers. I hope the devs will see this and take action.

Well spoken. Keep up the excellent work, it’s greatly appreciated.

Y’know I’ve always felt bad for the developers because imagine working hard on a team of 1200+ to then go down to below 100 being beat down by Ubisoft and players. It’s demoralizing

100% agree with you! One of the things that pisses me the most ate the people blaming the Devs, because they are lazy, stupid, whatever. Ubishit f****d us, and (some of) the Devs fought to keep it alive, and even grow. I do think that the Devs made some mistakes like delaying the DLC for Project Resolve (that didn't really helped the game), and most important, the future season characters, that I think will be terrible for the game. At this point, I would just want the DLC to release, and then leave the game in alone and put EVERYONE working on TD3, and start everything from scratch, because I do believe that TD2 won't handle much more changes/aditions...

you know what was perfect? Division 1's Survival mode. It was pure gold.

Solid bro💯👌🏿👍🏿😎 keep do’n ya thang mane!!!👏🏿👏🏿

There are reasons why I subscribe to you and only one other RU-vidr for Division content, and you stated them in this video. Ignore the negativity, people will always find a reason to bitch. Keep doing what you're doing, keep that level head. You provide excellent content with actual value, don't change.

invasion bugged for weeks, the ammo bugs where it takes ammo off when swapped thats been here for months and the fragile armour bug thats been in the game for years, do the devs not play their own game?? i dont wanna go out for the devs but all of these issues can be seen withing less than an hour of playtime, i have little faith in seasons 2.0 with how its meant to be a shake up that the majority of players ive spoken to through lfg and matchmaking arent happy with and its getting too much for players, big changes are needed and seasons 2.0 is NOT it, id rather have the game patched and ready for the Brooklyn dlc instead of a focus on changing the seasonal model.

I do appreciate you and your channel

I think the title is a joke Edit: I fully agree with points regarding communication with the playerbase. Something need to change in this regard.

Thank you for speaking your mind more so than usual. It was quite refreshing. I think I am going to give the game another go tomorrow.

Is there a glitch in the game because every control point you take back, the second you leave, they all turn red again. And the invaded missions don't change, no matter how many times you do them. Why

Honestly with these big shifts they enacted I'm surprised more didn't break

i used to have even better ping on division 1 so yeah i dont think they gonna do smth abt it but still good grateful for typing this

I'm a big fan of hot fixes as long as both sides get fixes, to hot fix (or try) the crafting bug without fixing the XP bug was Bull$#!t, maybe one was harder or easier to fix, I don't know but to let the XP bug go on for over two weeks (and it's still not entirely fixed) especially when a brand new season just started and fix the crafting bug within days is just wrong, big time wrong. We also have the Control point bug still going on for what three weeks now? I just started a new toon to get a feel on what Season 2.0 will be like ( more on that later) and do you know how annoying it is to clear a control point and not be able to fast travel to it afterward, especially when you have practically nothing unlocked yet? All I'm doing is running crisc-cross the map and not actually playing the damn game. Back to a new Season 2.0 toon. Now that we have Decent I liken starting a new toon even more to that, playing with unfamiliar gear and guns and switching them out numerous times per level is just annoying, I feel like all I'm doing is staying in my menu comparing stats, not only that I've played well over 4 hours and I'm only at level 5 because the story mode XP sucks beyond all believe, I have to clear 9 checkpoints to level up once, I realize the Devs said the XP would be different for seasonal Toons and the journey from 1-40 should be about 15 hours but doing this shows me that is time wasted and time that I'd rater invest in my main toon, in 15 hours I could level up 75-100 times. Think about it 1-40 is just thrown away, your main toon won't progress 40 levels, it only advances AFTER you get the watch and start adding levels to it. Not only that, any gear or guns that I get will be useless until I get to 40, after that there are well over 300 individual pieces to collect and don't get me started on the numerous variants. So we do all that for 3 1/2 months, have all this gear and such and then what? my stash has been full for 4 years, where do i put it? and then after all is said and done have to delete that toon and start all that all over again? Nah, once again, BULL$#!T, Seasonal Toon are a bad idea, if people want to do it it's their choice but don't force it on players. Lastly, something that has bugged me from the start, minor but still does is the wording on the control point officer when he goes down it says "Civilian Leader has died" why not say "Civilian Leader or Control Point officer is Down"?

One of the problems i face is high ping for asia region i think they should make some steps towards improving the ping i have 80 ping i live in south asia

we have those problems before I thought that they fixed its reason I don't want to keep paying it Marco have said something about this situation

The most annoying to me is that control points reseting but I’m still playing because I enjoy playing.

Ur doing the best u can i appreciate what u do

Rogue, I enjoy your content because you provide the reasoning behind your opinions. Most of the time I also agree with you, but on the fix release suggestion I somewhat disagree. I do not want a hot fix released every day for a month. What I would like to see, and this fits with your more communication thoughts, is for Massive/UBI to release their bug categorizations. Generally, software developers have minor, major, and critical (maybe different names and another category or two). Minor bugs are small annoyances like wrong text for a description. They do not impact game play in any way. Major bugs are bugs that may interfere with the quality of the game play or might be something that is broken but has a work around, the LMG sound issue would be an example, there is no work around, but the LMG function is not impacted. Most bugs will fall into this category. Critical bugs prevent the game from working and there are no work arounds. Whatever issue causes a Delta error would be an example. Minor bugs and major bugs should only be fixed on scheduled maintenance cycles. Critical bugs should be fixed as soon as possible. Right now, their release plans baffle me. The work bench mod bug as an emergency fix doesn't make sense. Again, if they communicated better, possibly adding bug category to their their entries Trello board, it would at least inform us as to how they are viewing the issues.

Love the channel, keep doing your thing! Between Project Resolve, the new season, and upcoming changes, the game has gone through many updates over the past few months. Understandably, because of this, many of the latest videos on the channel have been related to covering those updates. And I think this has led to a recent misconception on the type of content that's normally put out. Newer viewers may not realize that this isn't just a "state of the game" channel, but a channel about literally ANYTHING related to The Division, from PvP strategies, farming strategies, builds, storyline theories, lore, easter eggs, spinoffs, and even the movie that's probably never going to happen. But I think people's expectations of the channel has gotten skewed in the midst of everything going on with the game currently.

Day 1 player, seen every bug that has been released since the Open/Closed beta. I love the game regardless of the bugs. Doesn't affect me 95% of the time. I still have fun. Never honestly blamed the devs or what's left. Communication is key. I sorta understand why they've been silent. Since the game doesn't have crossplay and multiple platforms, they want to make sure that it's not isolated incidents or a problem affecting everyone on every system. Kinda like the bug that affected PS users a while ago. It's not a perfect or ideal situation in most cases when dealing with bugs. The communication has killed me ever since the State of The Game is no longer around. The player base doesn't feel like they've been heard anymore since. I know they have the Trello board, which is handy, but not everyone utilizes it or knows about it. Bring State of the Game back since it served multiple purposes. Let's the community be heard and the devs to get out ahead of the bugs that plague the game in addition to the special reveals of what's in store for the game upcoming. Still not the end all be all to solve the issues, but it shows that the devs are investigating and we can hear it in their own words instead of social media about upcoming fixes and why it's happening. I don't agree with attacking the skeleton crew of devs for the state the game is in since there was a lot of resources that went in to get the game to release. Was the game rushed a bit? Yes but it's not like most games where there were serious overhauls to make the game playable after release.

Idk man I think you hit this one right on the head

I will admit this game needs some work n some overhaul but at least the team is trying their dam hardest to keep this game alive i support that 100 percent❤

They should drop the snow drop engine that is were most of the issues come from

I gave up years ago due to nonstop crashes on PC that still plague the game to this day. Div2 is the ONLY game out of many that i play on PC that has that issue. I'm hopeful every day that its finally resolved but it's waning 😐

Small fixes often or Bulk of fixes once every two to three weeks. That's a turf one. Leave a comment and let me know what you think. :)

Details with this one here as in division 2. Got to the point that I could take a helicopter flight out of state cool.

All great points some of it can be frustrating but atleast it's not like what happened with cyberpunk. Very well said

Great video mate, great watch bugs or glitches I will play the Division 2 till the end well done rogue keep it up #Thedivision3

Yeah I haven't been able to play because NPCs randomly shoot me and I can't even hear them LOL

Thank you.

I am so sad to hear about all the problems. I just love the game but I quit the same day they announced seasonal characters. I really do not want to start from scratch every time they release a new season to be able to play it. I might come back for a Division 3 but it all depends. Up until the seasonal character announcment I nejoyed the game, bugs and all, but I can't even bother to login anymore due to this upcoming change. That is how much I dislike it. I do hope the players staying on will have a great time though! And yes, I have been playing since the launch of the first game and have over 3000 hours clocked in TD2.

@RogueGold for me, it's not only the lack of "communication" .. I've put 1000's of hours through good and bad. It's not the game I signed up for. The Division franchise is unique and awesome. That's why I love it. I'm not against seasonal characters, per say. However, changing the essence of the game well, that's on another level. When I bought Diablo 4, I knew what I was buying. Changing the uniqueness makes it like other games. IMO..😢😮

Brother...., ive been off an on with this game, highs and lows but nowadays i just feel the highs. think about it....this game was supposed to die in 2020, no support, a skeleton crew for a dev team and no hope for a 3rd titel. this game, to me, feels like the epilogue to a good movie, the best parts are supposed to be over and yet everything we still get are like the cherries on top. however the epilogue doesnt stop and the vibes and good times dont either. you schouldnt be concered with what some frat bro, wrights from his basement. its just a ubisoft game, its not that deep.

I’d say it’s the most polished, most underrated MMO out there but as of now destiny 2 is sweeping the charts with the final shape expansion

My rifle makes no sound when firing even though all of the other weapons are fine.

Yeah I put in a lot of time into this game. Starting on PS4 to the 5 and starting over to play on Series X. Yeah the game got stale but it's just a game. I moved on to something else. I still love the game just nothing for me to do on it anymore

Thank you for this! It’s nice to hear some positivity during this current patch. There is overwhelming evidence that this franchise has a future and that the devs haven’t just given up on the game. Removing world tiers, which themselves were band aids, was bound to create short term fixable issues. I look forward to more of your content!

personally, i understand that games will have bugs especially live services one. What made me smh is how long Div2 need to fix their issue. While i'm just a recently returning player after playing sometime before WoNY launch i remember how Div 2 FB post just regularly and constantly getting slammed people demanding fixes. I don't believe those people at first but now i'm starting to think that those may actually be true... What most mind boogling to me is if it's true, then they should have start rooting out what the cause is. Is it lack of Manpower or is it actually snow drop engine that being super wacky? i personally think it's snow drop engine being wacky that is the source of all their issues

Some of your transitions… they’re not unnoticed, just sayin. 😊 Also, keep doing your thing, very much appreciated!!

Eyes on the prize, for the future. However painful, we support this franchise with as little vitriol as possible. That we still have it at all is possibly the most important point that needs to be hammered home. I think that without the come back we saw, it would have been an easier financial choice to put D3 on the chopping block. Looking around the world of gaming, it looks like nothing is forever, and money is king. We got lucky folks. Supporting the franchise can be as simple as not filling social media with bitching and moaning. Someone has already complained, count on it. I don't feel sorry for the devs, I understand the situation they are in. They are the lifeline to D3, the field hospital that is keeping the patient alive. As pointed out here, annoying is NOT the end of the world. Sigh, and move on. It's free. THANK YOU RogueGold, as usual, stellar points, and I wish I could buy you a beer.

Ya its both an old game an the company not being responsive they go hid for 6 months out the year an leave us to do this so now the major players are either just playing sometimes leaving or about to leave so sad can we get remaster of div 1🤔

Hey R.G , you are right everyone sees things differently and most of us don't want to surround ourselves with negativity, but the community is lashing out on people who are being positive about the game at the moment. Yes, sure it is a unique game but being the same for the past few years is surely to become boring and not fun to any player with common sense, thus why the backlash. The community simply said we are happy to pay for Survival but coz they are greedy they wanted to do it a separate IP to make money in the meantime neglecting the Div 2 and the community who supported them. I just don't want to be treated as a sucker anymore and so do a lot. For me there is no more enjoyment in the game, even the NPCs got sick and tired of playing the same content and they are starting to bug out.

Considering how long the game has been going it’s pretty amazing how everyone who still play it, constantly bitches about it. I just want to go back to New York 😊

Whats disappointing is that the game had/has so much more potential.

By my opinion they need first to re write the sound of all weapons…for a example the scorpion sound like u hit a hammer to a wall 😂💩

The division 2 started off bad and gradually got better, but now it’s completely a shit show. Every-time the Dev’s bring an update they ruin something else. The Dev’s don’t listen to the player base. The last few exotics are completely useless, when they do come up with a good exotic the nerf follows, after the players spend time and components to expertise the gear or weapons.

Play enjoy the game and our playing it that way.lets give the great yet small and dedicated team a chance to prove.Likeroguegold said the 6 man team that stayed out of love for the community.Hopefully we can breathe new wind in the sails,and cruise

Love youre content, Insee how much work you put in these videos. I just want to thank you again for your work, you are one of the rare content creators , who love theyr job. You made me love the division. Thanks again. You and your family have a wonderful day. Your friendly agent selaouts269 (or some people now me under the name Forseensky 389). See you hopefully friendly in the darkzone.

As a pve solo player, i don't mind the crafting bug as it is making the game easier, but the guns and some signature weapons like minigun not having sfx is weird! Also, what can u expect from ubisoft it is one of the worst companies in the world it is just like EA little sister full of greed !

Pandora box said so 😂

The reason I see your content is because you take out the negative things and you at least make ✨️ it awesome to watch division content while at home I'm frustrated with the game 😂😂😂😂

I can't believe people think that you making a video will make the Devs (pressure) them.

Have you tried farming the dz with at level 31? It's much better than the dz with expertise players. It's a whole new game . 🎉🎉

Control points are not being saved.

Love the game but it needs new events, more raids, and stop repeating rewards every season

Hi RogueGold, I hope you are well. I think we are witnessing a snowball effect. The problems that appeared in the game, instead of being reduced by the new patches, created more and more problems. On top of this, the announcement of season 2.0, with the seasonal characters, disappointed the players even more, especially you veterans, but not only. Do you know what I was wondering?? Instead of the stupidity with the seasonal character why don't they come with a new DLC to the existing game that has so many fans??? Not to be released every year. At least once every 18 months or every two years, if annually is not possible. Surely we will all buy that DLC. And this will not only keep your current players but also bring you many other new players. If new games or new DLC's are released for Assassins Creed or Star Wars, why can't the same be done for Division 2??? And between these DLC's you can bring new skins, or new challenges in the existing game to capture the attention and make the players continue to play this game, which is truly unique in its own way. And what better advertisement can there be than what you, the veterans of this game, are doing, namely promoting the game on social platforms.

Lmaoooo @ all the sarcasm disclaimers, but totally reasonable due to typical YT comments inability to identify sarcasm

About to say it's far from perfect, but we love this broken game!

Just tired of the cheaters in the DZ

No crossplay no cross save no nothing

Main reason why we say f seasonal characters, don’t kill off the game more

Very well put agent Rogue,

Rouge I going to be perfectly honest with you I watch your channel because your coverage is fair and balanced and also informative. Haters are going to hate. Keep on keeping on.

As always, I'm 100% with you. And my add is I'm tired of seeing people whinnings everytime servers get a fix. They complain when we don't get maintenance and they complain when we get it. It seems like everyone wants the maintenances run while they're sleeping. It's legit, but we're millions of players around the globe and we can't go to sleep all at once to get those fixes LOL.

I quit playing because it disincentivized my efforts, grinding feels like it’s in vein. I love the game but don’t patronize veteran players.

Great video, RG, as always. I get the frustration of the player base, but everybody needs to get some perspective - this is, after all, a video game. You seem to have more than most.

It's gotta be frustrating to make a video like this and half the comments are from people who clearly didn't listen to a word you said. I appreciate the philosophy of focusing on positivity while not completely shying away from criticism when it's warranted. I've been jumping into too many arguments online following the seasons 2.0 announcement, I need to take a step back and just live my life and let them live theirs. Have a good one Rogue.

Ooohhhh...My Rogue Gold has a Life outside a 6 year old looter shooter. Boo this Man! Boo...😂😂😂

Nerf ouroboros and buff pestilence

What's humor?!

I saw you take down kamakazievoondoom on 1:14 of this video! I saw his yellow raincoat hoodie on the floor 😢😮😂😂

Thank you for finally saying something on this matter. All i want to say is I genuinely love this game but all i feel since that reveal of new seasonal characters is frustration. The negative feeling towards this game has increased so much that I pretty much started playing xDefiant in my free time and just grind there. What's worse is we got two opposite ends of the spectrum with these two games. On one hand Mark Rubin from xDefiant literally listens to individual concerns of people and tries to solve them in one week!!! Whereas in case of Division 2, they do not even give us a nod like hey listen, we have heard your concerns and working on it. Please bear with us for the time being. That is all it takes. Complete silence never solves anything. Part of the reason why people are frustrated with the game like me is because deep down they want to love the game. They want to keep Division in their mind as the game that we fell in love with many years back and stuck with it in its worst times. I understand the devs are also equally passionate but the problem is we never feel that passion. Yes i am sure that they have sacrificed a lot and they probably gave up on many luxuries in their life to stick with this game. I get that and i respect them for it. But constantly using that excuse will never be good enough. They have to communicate that passion to us. I am not saying to make the game perfect. At this point its not possible. All they need to do is talk to us. Radio silence and ignorance will only get you so far.

I’ve said something similar in Kamakazevondoom’s comments but I really do think that this is the high water mark for this development team. Like it sucks and I know it’s not necessarily what the player base wants to hear but I think the evidence is clear. Back when they decided not to abandon the game all together I was grateful for the small team they assigned to this game and was glad they were gonna attempt to keep it going. I decided to give them a while to find their footing. Unfortunately, it just seems like they’re not all that good at their jobs. This is a training program for junior developers. I was gonna stick around until they implemented the seasonal characters, but honestly I think this is a good time to go.

The Gunner mingun is silent too, lol. But I'm not mad about it. The issues are mostly minor, and the game is still entirely playable. It'll get fixed eventually.

All that’s gonna be left is LOL, BLK, and TPS to terrorize what little players like myself are in PvP With their broken ass builds

The division 2 is so full of bugs how are they going to change the whole format with out the game will crash

The Division 2 Is A PERFECT Game

Ya we had a ruff week but I finally got my ouroboros and fix for the game hopefully come soon

I hope everything works out... maybe developers can make a new event in The Division1... in the meantime, the community would play it... they would have solved all the problems with the 2nd part... I would love to play the 1st part if there was new content... but they probably don't have that much time and energy to spray on the first part.

Servers are tough to keep up to date. As a programmer I get why there are problems and my belief now is this is the reason they are switching the seasonal model since it’s a separate server. I bet Massive would love to say more but Ubisoft just does not allow studios to communicate on their own. Ubisoft is what’s going to kill TD franchise more than Massive. Heck if it wasn’t for Massive’s persistence, TD2 would’ve been sunset a few years ago. We can vote with our wallets but then it’s a double-edge sword.
