At The Division, Massive continues to work on all the issues plaguing the shared-world shooter.
On June 1st, the State of the Game was broadcasted. In this livestream, the developers regularly discuss the current status of The Division and provide an outlook on what is to come for the agents in the future.
This week, however, the information from the stream is limited.
Massive continues to work on the issues of update 1.6.1
Actually, the update 1.6.1 was supposed to solve numerous issues that players have been complaining about for months. It was meant to be a “Quality of Life” update, making life in the post-apocalypse more pleasant. However, the reactions to the patch were different than expected: The agents were furious that now even more bugs were present in the game and promised bug fixes were not implemented.
In the last 10 days, there have been four server downtimes during which the developers aimed to address the problems. A few annoyances have been resolved, but many still need to be tackled.
Today, community developer Hamish Bode provided the information: The team is working on it. They are aware of all the issues, examining the reported user reports, and working on solutions. Examples include grenades exhibiting stagger issues, the defibrillator mod, the intensive talent, or the urgency talent. The latter now has the unintended effect of weakening the healing.
It is once again assured that Massive is working on all the issues. The agents are encouraged to report every bug they discover in the Division forum. Ideally with a video that substantiates it.
Information about 1.7 will follow “soon”
Many agents were expecting new information about update 1.7 today, which is due this summer. However, there is nothing new to report. They cannot talk about it yet, only “soon”. Information will follow in the coming weeks.
Just yesterday, ETF members were allowed to reveal some content of update 1.7. All information about global events and new items can be found here.
