The charactor creation part is a disaster, ONLY have facial options and there is NO body option at all. Same height, same body size which can be considered as retarded level design for a multiplayer game.

Very positive experience at the start.

However, after ranking up a little bit, the toxic you will meet is beyond reasonable.
Things like facecamping, pa loop, body blocking are common at higher ranks.

The developers of this game are immature in my eyes, as a developer with 16 years experience, I d like to speak out few crack designs of this game:
1. local copy of save file, simplely change the values in the save file can bypass any runtime anti-cheat methods, which result some god-like players and we know they are cheating
2. The disconnection. The game itself doesn't have a centralised server, every game is hosted by killer. The surviors can use intentionally disconnection to prevent losing item and killer can intentionally lag their network to gain advantages over surviors.

Seems when they start building this game, they dont have 'People are jerks' in mind.

Overall I d give a 6/10 to this game just for the experience in lower rank.

With over 500 hours in this game I think it is safe to say I have enough experiances to write down this review and here it is.
The overall score 5/10

The game itself is a well-craft master piece, compare to any other similar online games on the market.

+The overall battle system and storyline before you reach lvl 30
+Gifts for collectors
+Strategy in teamwork
+The bug fix time is fast, especially when it comes to exploit.

However, as a product of Ubisoft, it borns with those problems listed below:

-RNG system design
As a loot based game, it supposed to either pick Diablo3's way (which is give you garanteed drops and let you compare between them to progress your char) or like Skyrim where loots are rare but every piece of them can be considered as useful.
You can't have a game with rare drop based on RNG. Even with few exploits on hands and aggressively farmed them, I still can not safe to say my charactor is BiS or close to it.
Of course time gate is important, but I don't see any hope if players are legit and using normal way to reach the point I m standing now.

-Material
The best end game gears are from craft(wtf?). And you only can get half of them if you are PvE players. The other half is locked in PvP area and around 40-100 hours time gate.
After you spend this amount of time and finally finished the blueprints collection, the next BIG EVENT is Open Box Emulation 2016. With the current RNG system, you will be forced to collect a rare material called 'High End Division Tech' and hope sometimes RNG god smell on you. You can get randomly droped HEDT from several boxes in PvP area, and the boxes can be opend by other players.
Normally a 2 hours's game session can grant me 1-2 HEDT if I have lucky, few days later you can craft some gears by consuming HEDT and hope RNG give you some good rolls instead of rubbishs, otherwise you have no progress even after few days' hard farming.
I have no problem in grinding, but the current one make you feel like "♥♥♥♥ my life"

-PVP
The game listed as PvE, PvP. First of all, they should not force PvE players into PvP part of the game just for successful in PvE part. Yes, grinding chanllege mode can give you reasonable loots and help you to progress, but again, the loot itself are not as good as crafted.

-Hack
Just for the records, I am also a Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege player, rage quit for hackers and Ubisoft's 3 days ban policy. I value my time and do not want to play a game where cheating is a must.
In The Division, the situation is worse.
By using Cheat Engine you can easily change the ammo number, gun speed(RPM round per minute), running speed, and lock your HP bar to prevent death in PvE. All you need is a Cheating Engine and currect momery addresses

CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE USING CHEATENGINE IN ONLINE GAMES?

Of course 'Grub your recoilless 50000 RPM Sniper rifle and one shot another players' is fun for some players, but it ruins the overall experiance of legit players like us.
Other cheating functions like ESP, Teleporting and AimBot are also easy to get from Google. Some of them even free and developed since open beta of this game.

Then the community splited into several Divisions
1. from reddit
"Sorry kids, I havnt met one hacker, you are witchhunting"
k, but how long have you been played this game?
"100 hours, and 2 hours in dark zone"

2. from Reddit
"Yes the hack is real, I see them flying on the sky"
Where did you get your smoke?

3. from Reddit
"I need to cheat cus other players are cheating"
OK then

4. from Hacking Forum
"I get 3 days' ban from using this, this hack tool sux"
Sorry for your lost but I d like to say



♥♥♥♥ you, Ubisoft
No money from my pocket, again

..............

Good game after all.

Just really bad time

A "GOTY Edition" should including all the DLC, especially for new players

Bait and switch

1. Single player content: Around 4-5 hours
2. Miltiplay content: Same maps as single player content, plus at least 1 minutes matchmaking
3. Unlock all operators requires huge amount of time
4. Need to buy dat gun skins????? Another CS : GO game?

Consider the price of this game(90 USD+), I am not recommend this game.

After a pretty short tutorial, you are on yout own.

The game itself need a lot of previous knowledge to begin, not newbie friendly

Level 1~60 is a safe n pleasure progress.
However after lvl 60, the game is changed to a mindless grinding for no really good story behind, PvP is straight forward pay to win.

Developers of this game doesn't really care about what players want, bait and switch everything, they can even change their blogs after some false advertisements already started.

The best online game with cutting edge combat system and nice graphics but also with the worst management.

Free world game
