In The Division 2, there are finally first statements about the future of the game. An ETF member breaks the silence, and the community is excited about the little information.
Who provided the information? The YouTuber LtBuzzLitebeer is currently in Sweden to talk with Massive as a selected member of the Elite Task Force, the “ETF”, about the upcoming changes in The Division 2.
A few hours ago, he tweeted his first assessment of the ETF workshop. With the conclusion: “Holy s…!!!”.
What does LtBuzzLitebeer reveal? He writes that he cannot go into detail. But the entire ETF group has been actively dealing with an enormous amount of upcoming content. Regarding the content and the positive changes that the player base has demanded, he can say: “Holy s…!!!”.
From these statements, we can conclude:
- Massive is working on a ton of new content.
- Massive is implementing changes that the community has requested. Some player feedback will be taken into account.
“Fingers crossed”
This is what the agents say about the information: LtBuzzLitebeer is regarded as a calm, likeable, and honest Division YouTuber. In the comments, fans write that they trust him if he considers the changes to be good.
Also on reddit, an agent writes “fingers crossed” – which means “Daumen drücken” in German – and quotes LtBuzzLitebeer’s assessment. That sounds good, and one is now looking more optimistically towards the future.
Other agents, however, are still pessimistic. “I’ll believe it when I see it,” writes one. And another agent says: “Then players will still complain.”
An agent fears that an update similar to Update 1.4 from The Division 1 will be necessary to lure many players back to The Division 2. Update 1.4 completely turned the first part around after Massive admitted: Our game is not fun.
When will there be more information? Actually, Massive planned to release information about the future the day before yesterday, on September 4. However, the “State of the Game” livestream had to be postponed, and the current status is: There will be information next week.
Until then, we will have to make do with statements from ETF members.
What is the ETF actually? Currently, from September 4 to September 6, there is an ETF workshop taking place at the Massive studio in Sweden. Selected community representatives, the “ETF”, are allowed to review upcoming innovations and changes and provide their feedback.
The ETF members are not allowed to discuss in detail what they see at Massive.
In The Division 1, there were already several ETF phases. The most important ETF was probably the one before Update 1.4, which finally got The Division back on track after months of criticism. According to Massive, past ETFs were important key moments to roll out game-changing innovations.
