As you know Season 10 and 11 will add Quality of Life (QOL) Improvements. Whilst this seems like a vague statement, below is a list of what I would like to see being implemented. Please feel free to add your suggestions.

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENT SUGGESTIONS

Performance/Stability
- Crash fixes
- High CPU usage fixes
- DX12 crash fixes
- Updating Anti Cheat so it runs better on our machines. We shouldn't have to set it to run on one core to increase stability
- Improve EAC, this is going to be pivotal if you want Heartlands to succeed.
- Better anticheat reporting and most importantly feedback tools.

Matchmaking
- Region based matchmaking fixed. Why am I sometimes connected to USA servers when I am based in EU?

UI/HUD
- Add unique sound for Exotic drops
- Headhunter UI fixes
- Add global chat regional filter so we do not have foreign chat spam
-- Impossible to use global chat due to Chinese spammers | Ubisoft Discussion Forums
- Exotic/named drop chances from (x) source publicised in game 
- Update version control system for future updates. Why are they no longer updated in the game's "Patch Notes" main menu which shows 1.12 as the latest?

Leaderboards
- TU based leaderboards introduced

Specializations
- Specialization node not limited to only 3 weapon types
- Switching to Specialization weapons should be instant like pistols with no animations
- Tactician Specialization load time should be decreased
- Tactician Specialization is dumb when NPCS are behind cover. It hits the cover and doesn't "seek"
- Add grenade based chest talents to specialization tree modes and remove them from the loot pool (Mad Bomber, Explosive Delivery, To Order)

Accessibility
- Adding a camera shake disable option to Accessibility options
-- Adding slider or numerical value for spending SHD points on materials.
-- Can we please have a slider on our SHD watch for when we want to spend SHD points buying materials? | Ubisoft Discussion Forums

Missions
- Adding difficulty selection to Classified missions. 
- Fixing the mortar spam on invaded National Manning Zoo it's been broken for almost 2 years. 
- Summit Floor 10 patched
- Activity XP reworked

Projects
- Add Season holder specific project to the weekly rotation that rewards a generous but balanced amount of exotics (5) for completing a set of tasks.

Directives
- Fixing Fragile Armor 

Commendations
- Fixing broken Summit commendations (Summit combat mastery has been broken for almost 2 years!)
-- https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/165962/summit-commendation-bug/

Credits
- DZ Credits cap increase
-- https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/155239/dz-vendor-and-proficiency

Expertise
- Specialization weapons expertise upgrade should be account wide
- Add expertise for grenades (Increased damage, larger radius, greater throwing range, longer effect duration) based on grenade type.

Countdown
- Add the ability to vote kick in countdown to not have the leader kick an entire team
- Remove the ability to kick players from countdown after main objective is complete
- Add the ability for players to re-join their countdown session after a disconnect
- Auto start when slots filled
- Fix region based matchmaking
- Fix disconnects and crashes
- Countdown difficulty selection (Although this is planned in August) 

Raid 
- Re-introduce Raid Checkpoints
- Fix Leaderboard exploits (Completions and Times)
-- Raid split glitch patched (the cause of 1 min times)
-- Saving the last boss checkpoint and completing the raid should NOT count as a completion 
- Fix shooting panels with an exotic weapon or shotgun from bugging out the codes/symbols in Iron Horse Raid during Captain Fieser encounter

DZ
- Fix Targeted Loot
- Fix Shrapnel trap 

Gear
- Catharsis mask should also heal skills not only armour 
- Make Aces and Eights a viable gearset again that promotes Teamwork. It used to be perfect!

Weapons
- Merciless was supposed to get re-visted in 2021 and get a damage buff or recoil reduction. It never happened! 

Mods
- Bring back Kill XP mods. If you can introduce new Pulse Resistance mods then why can't Kill XP mods be brought back for end game players who are farming levels, expertise etc.

I have no idea why embedded tweets don't work, when copy and pasting so I have embedded the image instead

@agt_z Possibly an unpopular opinion - but players who are utilizing the tombs to manipulate the expertise and XP system should be rolled back or banned. Tons of players just set up a cronus to autogrind XP for the for hours on end and then have these absurd SHD levels.

Floor 100 Hunter Farm was an exploit everyone should be banned
Open World Warhound farm was an exploit everyone should be banned
Open World Conveys is an exploit everyone should be banned
Floor 10 is an exploit everyone should be banned
Tombs for Proficiency XP farm is an exploit everyone should be banned
Boosting characters to level 40 for Scavenging points is an exploit everyone should be banned

But people completing Raids faster than you can run through them with open doors is not an exploit. Cheaters should be preserved.
Players who openly cheat and use exploits in the DZ when video evidence is provided should be congratulated.
Players who use aim bots to cheat their way through SHD levelling should be given an award.
Players who provide boosting services and promote them in Open World chat should have their pictures placed in the BOO.

@ubistorm

There are 2 scenarios that happen for me:

1) Game freezes then it immediately closes to Windows desktop
2) Game freezes and hangs then closes to desktop whilst showing Tom Clancys Division 2 as suspended in Task Manager

@suspiciouspixel Careful you might hurt other people feelings that they will just move to random threads just to talk bad about you

I don't get these threads

a) you cannot force random players you meet through matchmaking to play a particular way or have certain builds.
b) if Legendary is too difficult then drop down the difficulty or admit defeat and play with others who can help you.
c) congratulate and learn from those who do legendary solo or in groups with ease.

Hi Agents.

I got selected for ETF Foxtrot.

I’m a veteran hardcore PvE player on the PC platform and enjoy the most difficult challenges and grind the game has to offer. I've spent over 10K hours in Division 1&2 combined and love the looter shooter/extraction genre with Raid/Incursion and Speedrun mechanics. I would like to take this opportunity to capture your feedback (wishes, desires, problems) with Division 2 and be your gateway to have a say on the future of the game.

I will bring this information along to the ETF workshop. Whilst there hasn't been any further information on what the workshop involves; the structure and topics Massive have planned, I have a basic idea based on previous ETF members word of mouth and Reddit posts.

If you have any ideas for improving the game, inspiration from other games that would fit in well with Division, criticisms, reasons why you left, problems/concerns that affect your gameplay and progression or positive feedback please write down your top 3.

This can be related to any part of the game for example (excluding PvP as there are ETF PvP members who will be giving feedback):

-         Hardcore mode
-         Other game modes/activities
-         Raids
-         Anti-cheat
-         Speed-runs
-         End-game content
-         Loot
-         Economy
-         Progression
-         Gameplay
-         Specializations
-         Gear and Weapons
-         SKills
-         NPC/AI behaviour and health (inc Rogues, Hunters and Proxies)
-         Word Difficulty
-         UI/UX (User Interface and Usability)
-         Apparel
-         Map/Game World
-         System performance
-         Season pass content
-         Clans
-         HVTs
-        Projects
-        Stash/Inventory Management
-         Commendations
-         Premium credits
-         Year 5
-         Heartlands (Even though this probably falls outside of Massive’s remit as it’s being developed by Redstorm)
-         etc

Basically whatever is your top 3 most important area for feedback!

I appreciate that over the years the community have offered lots of great suggestions and reported many bugs but they are scattered over the legacy forum and generally difficult to find. If you wish you can copy and paste some of your replies from older threads like this:
https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/166118/suggestions-for-season-10-11-qol-improvements/2?lang=en-US

I look forward to reading all your comments and hopefully we can continue to support and wish a brighter future for the game we love (even if I have a love/hate relationship with it lol).  

 

Decided to load the game today. After the Bravo-04 errors which were eventually fixed I've had nothing but crashes every 30 mins with the game showing Suspended in Task Manager. Before anyone asks DX12 is disabled because that will never get fixed.

Nice welcome back to the game.

Specialization Pistols that I never use
Specialization weapons that I hardly ever use
Specialization Armour kits that rarely change style of play
Specialization Grenades that are worthless thanks to the NPCS that roll out of them anyway. How about giving us their homing grenades instead?
Skills mods that don't have a have a huge impact
Specialization weapons in PVP? Yeah I'm sure the cheaters will love this additional change.

Am I missing something here? How are the changes meant to improve our gameplay and enhance our experience?

@davidhines1 Don't get your hopes up. They'll do nothing.

Further Dev comments

The problem with the game is that it's turned into an artificial level up simulator with absolute zero reward for end game players.

When ever a new cheese is discovered people will use it for better speedrun times, leaderboard completions, boosting SHD level or burning through expertise levels.

As for the Anderson XP Farm. I heard about it the other day and as far as I am aware (and correct me if I am wrong) the XP is based on Kill. Therfore it's an activity that only benefits one player and you just need someone else to activate the console on the far side whilst you camp the door.

It's nowhere as "insanely efficient" or rewarding as convoys which I made the argument for keeping (and you can still do today) when the whole Floor 10 fix debacle happened. The Anderson XP farm strengthens my reasons why I said casuals won't do convoys. It requires skill, teamwork, communication, good builds, rng and map knowledge. Compare that to Anderson farm which is a braindead activity just like Floor 10 was.

However, the people doing Andersion are doing it on Normal difficulty and it's nowhere as bad or damaging as Resistance was. If you want to do it on Normal it can easily be done solo. If you want to complete the Manhunt then select a higher difficulty and group up with randoms. Once you have the reward from the Manhunt I personally see no reason to do it again unless some new Easter Egg is discovered.

The developers should have capped SHD level to 1000 ages ago, it becomes nothing but a number chasing game after that.

The developers should have thought of a better system for Expertise. Players were just using the language change method or level 40 boosting to use materials to reach MAX expertise level within a few hours. OR using said weapon during what ever XP exploit was the Flavour of the Month.

Expertise should have been combined with a new trophy system for completing activities instead of forcing players to use skills or weapons they had no desire in using.

Depending on activity completions, difficulty, number of directives, type of activity etc you would earn trophies which you can use towards expertise leveling. That way people would PLAY the game instead of using cheeses. But the issue with this game is both with the community and developers. That's a different issue!

My bets still on Blue core but 2 free mod slots

From Developer

There will not be a phase 2 of the S11 PTS

random text to fill the minimum post requirement

@xcel30 DZ exclusives are not random drops if they are tied behind projects, events, currency, activities or prerequisites that require fulfiling a specific criteria.

@xcel30 only if named DZ exlusives have a random chance to drop in PVE otherwise no. Without knowing the drop % they really are dangling carrots on a stick again to get players to engage in DZ because of the insane exotic component requirements post lvl20 expertise.

@suschunga I saw his thread and he had great suggestions but I am worried about how much time each of us will have to give feedback.

Based on previous ETF workshops each member was limited to 3 most important issues and then 3 suggestions for improving the game. Hopefully many of the suggestions will cross-over but I intend to compile everything and structure in a spreadsheet which I can hand over to the devs which will hopefully influence or be used to shape the future.

and are wasting time with these games:

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-gb/game/the-division/heartland

@valkyz89 and this is the reason why DZ has failed because Ubisoft and Massive catered too much for the casual audience. Whereas other extraction based games like Tarkov, Showdown and now DMZ have stuck to the game's core principles and kept it a hardcore experience and have a thriving playerbase. Isn't it bad enough that Massive normalized the DZ to help new players and now you want it even more dumbed down.
