I am currently in a playtest for The Division Resurgence and tried the Conflict PvP mode one or two times for the daily challenges. And it sucks. It just enforces my opinion that PvP modes don’t belong in a game like The Division. It always comes down to equipment over skill.

    Heartland currently has MASSIVE ammo shortages, the monetization wasn’t in there yet, but the framework is there and it looks like it’s going to be very heavy. They brought mobile game style timers into it, so if you die you have to wait ~20 hours to play that character again. And I could absolutely see them saying “swipe here to reset the timer.” And you can’t create your own character, but have to choose from a preselected list (admittedly, this could have only been true for the playtest)

      Yeah, that’s the logical next step. Resurgence has like almost a dozen ways to spend real money, and parts of those are for upgrading materials.

      Stuff like ammo or play time is the next thing they will ask money for.
