In The Division today, on 14th July, maintenance work is taking place on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. There is a change in PvP, in the Dark Zone.
Today, maintenance work is taking place again. Regular weekly maintenance was already carried out last Tuesday. However, today they want to introduce updates that the agents are expected to welcome.
After it was announced in the last weekly situation report that they wanted to take a closer look at the toughness of agents in PvP , it is now time: agents should inflict more weapon damage to each other. As soon as the servers are back online today.
For this, the servers will be taken offline today. It starts at 9 AM our time. The expected downtime is three hours. By 12 PM you can see for yourself the changes in the Dark Zone.
Changes on 14th July.
Today’s changelog includes two aspects:
- The weapon damage in PvP will be adjusted so that players inflict around 20% more damage to each other. This adjustment only affects weapon damage and not skill damage. This is expressly stated to avoid misunderstandings.
- More kill volumes will be added to the Dragon’s Lair map. If you leave the designated areas of the map, your characters will be automatically killed. “Kill volumes” are areas that kill the player if they stay in them for too long. This is to prevent agents from reaching places that can give them advantages and/or are not intended for the mission.
Many agents will welcome the first aspect. There have been complaints for a while that agents could take too much damage in PvP. Players shoot at each other for minutes and no one falls. That’s not the point.
Whether the 20% more weapon damage is the right way to address this issue will be seen in the future. Feedback in the comments will be closely monitored.
