THE DIVISION – PATCH NOTES 1.0.2

[Blazzen67]

When I originally read the patch notes my first thought was "that's a lot of change for one update. Hope it actually applies correctly."

Patches that impact so many aspects at once make me somewhat nervous at what can go wrong. I didn't even try to get online this morning, are the servers still down?

just checked twitch and it looks like the servers are back up now

my only question is when they say in the patch notes "NPC's will no longer respawn after death in the open world"...does that mean forever?!?! the way they wrote that it sure seems to mean they will no long spawn ever again after death. im sure thats not what they meant, but when will they respawn? after weekly maintenance? 12 hours?. kinda vague isnt it? 

I was wondering about this too. These bosses are considered " world bosses" from my understanding. If they are a once and done its really going to suck since some kill them at lower levels when coming across them. Having some sort of respawn timer would be ideal IMO. Otherwise it would be like removing the named bosses from the dark zone forever once you've killed them.

im sure there is a timer, but would be nice to know what that timer is

That's good because I have an hour break at lunchtime that I usually burn in the Dark Zone.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who does this lol.

After the patch the PC version looks bland! There's detail missing everywhere. The streets look empty now. The PC version looks like a console game. I don't what you did, but PLEASE change it back or give us the option to do so. That was what I enjoyed the most! The attention to detail and realistic quality of the game. Now it looks bad...

It would be nice if there was a timer from the beginning. I killed most named bosses I came across when I first ran into them at low levels. I didn't realize at the time that they won't respawn and I'd kill everything that moved.

Is anyone else on Xbone getting the chain link fence audio for everything from reloading to taking cover behind a car?

Been having a few Delta and Mike disconnects this evening. It loads back in, and thankfully keeps me mid mission on a daily, but it's getting a bit frustrating.

I got it from doing jumping jacks the other day lol

Has the patch update some how affected the beginning start area Brooklyn, such as playing with other players after reaching the safehouse and upon completing the Brooklyn mission at the police station, has anyone encountered a problem when it comes to loading into the next portion of the game where you are going to Manhattan?

This patch is a game changer for DZ. Look for more rogue players in the lobby.

You can believe that,  was just in the DZ and every 10 steps was getting shot by someone.  You now have non group members working together with rogue status

I just ran DZ for 4 hours and killed 8 rogues. I haven't killed that many in all my other gamely combined! It's literally a danger zone.

yep. its more active now...got killed twice by rogues. I attempted to kill one. got behind him and emptied my 120k DPS vector in his back and not one millimeter of health came off him, he and his buddies turned around and killed me in 3 shots. I need better gear before i go back in there lol

played for a couple hours last night on PC and it looked the same to me, had no issue at all

Silly question to have but, how on earth do you fix the Delta issues? they use to be once in a blue moon. But now they are every five seconds in the dark zone or any time I play with other people for the PS4 hate to get a refund for the game when I see such potential.

 

[CRFmenace]

Hahahahaha ubisoft at it again patch1,02 has made it worse played 4 3 hours last nyt and nobody had 1 good thing to say about it very disappointed such hype for a bigger let down

The only issue I'm having since this new patch is that the flashes in some areas leave an after-flash and reflections which end up turning my entire screen white over time.  I can still see the little red markers in irradiated areas, quest objectives, and enemies when pulsed, but that's about it.  Needs fixed.  Tired of logging in and running missions only to have the flashes turn my screen white and hope that I'm far enough along and that my matchmade team understands.  It would be nice if there were a /reload command, as porting out of such a location or dying and having to respawn fixes the issue for a time.

I briefly looked over the changes and the one huge thing I noticed was that I could solo without difficulty.  At level 24 I wasn't able to even manage encounters, never mind side missions or missions.  Today I was able to do everything.  Still got KO'd a few times and had some hairy situations, but I'm really pleased I'm able to continue the story.  I just want to be able to finish the game and maybe replay it if they don't reset the difficulty.

Today they had a patch.  I'm concerned when I try the game again it will be back to the way it was.  Almost impossible to solo again.  I have no interest in multiple player mode.  I read the news section of this site which states it's only regular maintenance.  Hopefully this is all it is and nothing more.  I'll find out soon enough.
