I was somewhat excited about this PTS until I read the release notes. What they have done with their nerfs is removed what little excitement was left in the game. Sad. Just making game play harder by nerfing the damage of the best gear and weapons is NOT improving the game.
@@Sanctuary666 A strange response you have made. I am not "acting" like anything. I am disappointed that their approach to improving the game is simply to nerf most things rather than putting that coding time into bug fixes and creating more content.
@@Sanctuary666 I am looking at the whole picture. The weapons and gear they buffed are now nearly as good as the weapons they nerfed. I don't expect to see much if any shift in builds as a result of this.
Exactly. If their intent was to cause a change in the builds we use, I don't think that will be the result. The buffed weapons are now almost as good as the nerfed one, but that means we will continue to use the ones they nerfed.
Kami, in one of your old build video's you used the Dark Winter on Umbra and said how well it performed with Umbra, Both the gun and gearset are now buffed and im a little giddy at the thought of the build video :D :D (took me a long time,felt like it anyway to get a DW) Now I have Several, Cant wait to see The Apartment with changes to talent also .
Also, if you see this, has the % changed on exotic components dropping from lvl 4 control points ? I farm at least 4 to 6 control points a day time permitting and I have gotten 1 component in the last 3-4 weeks
One question: if I create a new character on PTS (deleting an old one) will this also be reflected in the regular game? That is, will the deleted PG be deleted there as well?
Pts is a separate server that your character gets copied over to. AFAIK after the testing period is over it gets wiped, as such it'll have no effect on your main game.
@@testsubject6228 Yes, logically that should be the case. The problem is that I see the same characters with the same outfits that I created in the base game and it makes me wonder... So, not being sure, I prefer not to risk it.
I genuinely do not understand all the complaining about nerfs. It’s not like things won’t still be incredibly powerful, plus the changes in the PTS are subject to change anyway. From the hours I have spent in the PTS, I’m just glad they’re 'shifting the meta' a bit. Even with the nerfs, gear and weapons are still incredibly strong and powerful. A few nerfs, and people act like it’s the end of the world. This game is way too easy nowadays anyway.
Legit. The Elmo’s striker coyote obliterate meta was killing the game. Using the same build all the time is the real reason that people get burnt out and quit. Problem is it seems so much of the player base has become lazy and unimaginative and can’t bring themselves to use anything else
I am not upset by the nerfs as much as Ubisoft's management of the game. There is no good justification for the game getting such a huge balancing. Good management constantly monitors a game for balance and should make small adjustments over time. Such a huge number of changes tells me that they are not willing to monitor the game and make changes as necessary.
Do I have to make a new character doing this? And do I have to skip to the warlords expansion I rather start at the beginning, and I rather not do that cause then i feel like oh i got delete my first one to get the max out atuff, if I can help it cause while I have no problem starting over. I always prefer to finish the storyline exact start to finish in order anyway. And will we be allowed to keep all this stuff?! Cause I want to keep all that stuff you showed us. cuss if we lose all that gear in gonna be bummed out.
At yo Kami; I have The Division 2 (& WONY) ‘Installed’ on Ubisoft Connect (BETA) on PC, yet, there is no ‘Ready to Install’ link underneath the grid view. Do I have to make a new folder in my File Manager, Sign-Up to play the PTS or be a verified creator/influencer to jump on? What can I do to (Project) resolve this? Been trying to troubleshoot this for 4 hours so I thought someone whose covering the game consistently might have a clue as to what might be the issue.
Ok I am confused. if i get the PTS and choose caches and can i acutally level up my expertise to lvl 26 in my main character?? and will it be there even after PTS?
I'm so confused can someone answer my question why is division 2 new content only for PC only why I'm confused I see everyone playing the new content on PC I don't have a PC I don't get it so it feels like to me what if it's on the Xbox One what are this on the PS5 next it might be on PC so do I have to buy everything just to play this game
If they really wanted to nerf Striker's they would have went after the chest piece as well. That would have been the death nail. For example a reduction of 50 stacks possible. The heartbroken "Git Gud" crowd would be too numerous to count. 😂
So you take part in the PTS, just to get materials which you then transfer to your main characters and then max everything out for free with no grind needed, your basically handed everything you need. No wonder RUclipsrs don’t mind the expertise grind, because they basically don’t have to do anything. Sounds very unfair, think it’s about time the Devs gave everything to the console players to max out there expertise ,who have also paid for this game. Games full of PC players who get handed everything for free with no grind needed.
Crazy you can type this entire comment, yet you don’t understand a test server vs live server. Mind blown 🤯 Test Servers are only available for a weekend. Nothing is saved or transferred. GGs. Have a good night.
Public test server - it's not a division-specific thing. Developers will put the next update on the PTS where players can log in to test the changes and provide feedback/bug reports. Generally leads to better patch releases
HOw the heck is this fare? Sooo.. only people on pc can get everything maxed out for ever? Or will it take it all away at the end of the test? Adventurewriter here (PS4 pro). I have done the raid dozens of times on normal and still don’t have the eagle bearer. Nor do i have the oro boro…. I don’t know if my stuff is glitched or what.. but refuses to give it to me. And this gives pc users everything.. maxed out.. instantlY? What the hell…
@@KamikazevondoomYikes.. you almost ruined my whole day. Adventurewriter here.. If you’ve got eagle bearers to spare, and OuroB’s… you can give me one anytime… lol… Been playing since day one and still dont have either one.

@sheldonparks7577 I'm curious to see how well Umbra stacks up. It has been a favorite of mine for quite awhile but strikers could edge it out it dps. Also, didn't they buff heart breakers???
@@easy6427 yes. Heartbreaker got a buff surprisingly. I tend to use heartbreaker a fair amount so I was excited to see it got a buff. I run it with the catharsis, and that also got a buff, so this season is gonna be pretty cool.

All these items go away after PTS correct? This isnt something you get to keep.
You Know as a PS5 gamer, its unfair that these test runs are only for consoles.
