Developer Massive has announced the next update for The Division 2 . Here are the changes from Patch 2.1.
When is Patch 2.1 coming? The update is coming next week, but Massive has not given a specific date yet.
What is changing? The patch mainly includes bug fixes. However, Massive also talked about other changes planned for the future.
Patch 2.1 fixes the bench and the reviver skill
These bugs will be fixed:
- The bench should now be able to upgrade to World Tier 5
- The reviver skill should now work properly
- Characters should no longer get stuck in certain places. If it does happen, you should report it to Ubisoft.
- The 2-set bonus of the true patriot should now function properly. Until now, armor damage was useless in PvE.
For now, these are all the fixed changes included in Patch 2.1.
Today, on 11.4., there was maintenance with some fixes.
Massive also addressed several other topics that are currently concerning the community:
About criticism of skill builds and skill power: In a future update, blue blueprints for skill mods will be available. Additionally, the effects of the mods are to be strengthened to justify the investment in skill power and make skills more powerful.
About the problem that health points and armor currently have little impact: They know that these values are not currently performing well.
This is a complicated problem and requires some work. However, they want to improve it in the future and strengthen defensive rolls.
They also plan adjustments to the talents, and they want to adjust the time-to-kill of players at higher difficulty levels.
In connection with the defensive rolls and improved skill mods, they hope to make both playstyles more attractive.
Further plans for future updates:
- They know that the NPC Henry Haves is unavailable for some players. The issue is still being worked on.
- A fix for the animation bug related to the T-poses of dead NPCs is in progress
- Drops that are lower than your gear score are intended. However, they will look at fan feedback.
- The feedback about underpowered gear sets has been received, but no hasty changes will be made. They want to give players time to experiment before taking action.
- The criticism of exotic weapons has also been reached by the developers. They want to gather more feedback on this.
- The too aggressive AI is a top priority but is not expected to be fixed with Patch 2.1
- In general, they will work on the PTS on difficulty levels and test several balance changes, especially NPC enemies on higher difficulty levels are in focus.
- The PvP balance is also a topic they will test on the PTS
- Blueprints are expected to be available across characters soon
