The Division: Update 1.4 soll das "Shooter-Gefühl" steigern

Bei  Ubisoft Massive hat man die Absicht, mit dem kommende Update 1.4 wieder für mehr Shooter-Feeling im Online-Rollenspiel-Shooter „The Division“ zu sorgen. Darüber hinaus sollen auch noch viele weitere Änderungen für  „Tom Clancy’s The Division“ geboten werden, zu denen jetzt weitere Details verraten wurden.  Mit einem umfangreichen Entwickler-Blog wurden Details über die  Balance-Veränderungen bei den Charakteren und dem neuen Shooter-Feeling verraten.

Wie man zu verstehen gibt, ist der Unterschied zwischen optimierten und nicht-optimierten Charakter-Builds aktuell zu groß, weshalb man die die Lücke zwischen den zwei Extremen verringern möchte. Zudem wolle man wieder verstärkt das Shooter-Gefühl zurückbringen und mit schweren Entscheidungen beim Charakter-Aufbau für mehr Abwechslung zwischen den Charakter-Builds sorgen.

Weiterhin wird das Balancing überarbeitet, was Veränderungen bei den Stats von High End-Ausrüstung, Talenten und Plündern mit sich bringt. Die Wirkung von Rüstungen wird so angepasst, dass sie im Vergleich zur Lebensenergie deutlich abgeschwächt wird. Alle Änderungen sind übrigens retroaktiv, sodass es sich für die Spieler nicht lohnt, alte Waffen und Rüstungen aufzuheben, um die Änderungen zu umgehen.

Weiter unten findet ihr die verschiedenen Änderungen in der Übersicht in englischer Sprache. Weitere Details zum „The Division“-Update 1.4 findet ihr auf dem offiziellen Blog.

Änderungen an der Ausrüstung

• All gear in World Tier 2 and higher will have all three base stats – Firearms, Stamina, Electronics – on them, one of these stats will be higher than the others
• Other bonuses, like crit chance and headshot damage, will be scaled down to fit the new game balance
• Gear will lose their skill bonuses, but backpacks, holsters and knee pads will gain new performance mod slots, making them easier to customize to fit your build
• Gear Sets will have their Gear Score adjusted to the same levels as High End gear
• Stat overlaps between Gear Scores have been removed
• High End gear talents have been rebalanced
• Scavenging has been removed from the game

Änderungen am Spielgefühl und den Waffen

• We want to return The Division to feel more like a shooter, similar to the experience during the 1-30 game
• New DPS formula on weapons has been introduced, but is a work in progress and will change over the course of the PTS
• The damage and roles of certain weapons have been changed. Some weapons have seen a damage increase; others have had their damage lowered
• Named weapons will not be changed in this update
• Weapon mods will now come with one major bonus and an amount of smaller bonuses, depending on the quality of the mod
• Damage bonuses are now additive instead of multiplicative, reducing the current spikes in damage which made the game hard to balance
• The Firearms stat will become a much more significant source of damage output, leading to more decision making when building your character
• Weapon talents have been rebalanced; some have been buffed, others have seen their numbers reduced
• The identity of your gear will remain the same, even if the scale of stats and bonuses might change

Änderungen an den Rüstungen

• Stamina will be the main source of toughness

Änderungen an den Fähigkeiten

• Skill Power will not scale linearly anymore, instead it will follow a curve of diminishing returns
• Certain skills are currently much more popular than others. Some skills are overpowered, others underpowered or bugged
• Skills have been rebalanced to fit the new game balance or to bring them up to par, in the hopes of creating a more varied meta
• First Aid no longer allows for multiple heals, since those happened due to a bug. First Aid’s healing has been increased to make up for this fix. It will now heal instantly
• Smart Cover and Pulse have been reworked. Smart Cover is now more defensive and Pulse’s high damage boost has been lowered to make it balanced with the new enemy health
• Ballistic Shield and Support Station have been given more health. Support Station’s healing has been increased
