In The Division, there is a server downtime today, on 8th June. Bug fixes are coming.
The developers at Massive are still very busy fixing bugs and issues in their shared-world shooter. The update 1.6.1 was supposed to eliminate numerous frustrations and significantly improve the agents’ experience; however, new problems have arisen that dampen the general mood surrounding The Division.
Today, Thursday, the regular maintenance work is taking place. Massive continues the mission to eliminate bugs.
- At 9:30 AM our time, the servers will be shut down. The expected downtime is three hours. Around 12:30 PM, you can return to the game.
What is changing today? – Changelog
During the maintenance, three bug fixes will be deployed:
- In the underground missions, there was the problem that agents sometimes did not receive rewards
- For the talents Specialist, Competent, and Capable, there was the issue that their buffs did not expire when seeking cover behind mobile cover
- Additionally, the talent Specialist could be stacked up to 5 times when repeatedly seeking cover behind mobile cover
State of the Game today
We expect today’s State of the Game from Massive around 5 PM. Last week, the developers could not talk about update 1.7 – the time had not yet come. Perhaps we will learn in detail today what is coming for the agents.
However, it is also conceivable that the developers will wait until a nearby major event to talk about the future of The Division. E3 2017 is approaching, where Ubisoft will hold its own press conference.
Last year, they looked far into the future at E3 – there were not only news about the underground DLC, but also a trailer for Survival. Let’s see if they will be present this year as well.
