Many of you have already had the chance to test the Private Beta of The Division 2. We summarize some of your impressions that you have posted in our comments.
What does the Mein-MMO community think? From enthusiasm to disappointment, everything is included. Some of the negative impressions stem from the technical issues present in the beta:
- Annoying sound bugs
- At the very beginning, there were also technical errors where players were banned without reason for the beta.
- Finally, Delta errors became more frequent
- Developer Massive subsequently announced a server maintenance.
Your first impressions of The Division 2
This is what you think about the Private Beta: We have selected some of your comments and summarize them here. If you weren’t mentioned, don’t be disappointed. Maybe you’ll be next time.
- Gorm draws an overall positive conclusion after about one and a half hours. Technically, there are a few minor glitches, but it runs “significantly better than last week and the week before in Anthem“. However, the gameplay differences compared to the predecessor are not that large. The setting is less convincing: “The atmosphere doesn’t come close to that of the first part.” But Gorm wants to stay and gather more impressions.
- Svbgunslinger likes the PvE area so far because it feels “much more like ‘war and combat’ than in the predecessor”. The gameplay has generally improved, but some control changes are annoying for him. Also, a few things, especially the technology, still bother him, and one must wait to see what the endgame and PvP will bring. Overall, he is “very satisfied” so far.
- Zer0d3viDE is “not so convinced” by the beta. He does not like the new setting; graphically, it feels “somehow like a downgrade”.
- Mr.Mittens does not have many complaints except for graphical bugs, popping textures, and performance issues. Everything that “bothered him in the first part has been improved.” He can hardly wait for the release.
- Smokito simply cannot get into the atmosphere. It hardly seems threatening to him. He finds it a pity that “everything feels like it has been taken from the first part and there is just no excitement”. However, he praises the controls, which are now much smoother. Overall, his “expectations were not high and were actually met. But enthusiasm looks different…”
- Chosen Gaming is so enthusiastic that Destiny 2 will be deleted directly; The Division 2 should be the new main game, with “Anthem and RDR2 as fun games in between”. The beta plays well and smoothly; the “environment does not seem so desolate anymore”. Only the performance could be better.
- Paul Klee had problems, but nonetheless: alongside the many crashes that he and his friends experienced, the game is “really fun”. He particularly praises the interaction options with the checkpoints. “So it is a beta with expected weaknesses, but it makes you want more.”
Reactions in our comments are mixed: Alongside enthusiasm, many are still skeptical. Does The Division 2 set itself apart enough from the predecessor? Will the technical problems be resolved by the release? The new setting of summer in Washington D.C. is met with mixed feelings by many. Some miss the wintry New York and the snow.
Some are still cautious and prefer to wait until The Division 2 is released on March 15.
