Hi Ghosts,

Today the servers will shut down for an exceptional maintenance on Playstation.

Please follow this thread for any updates on the maintenance progress.

Thank you

The PTS is available to all PC players on Ubisoft Connect who own a copy of The Division 2.

The PTS starts on 19th of August, 2022, exact timings will follow.

Sizes may vary regions & platforms.

We may use the PTS to test changes and additions before deciding if they should make it to the live servers or not.
Also, based on community feedback, some aspects of the features and modifications implemented on the PTS may change significantly before implementation on the live servers.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Yes, the PTS is a different product and you will need to download the entire game client again.

The PTS version will directly appear in your Games on Uplay, regardless of where the game was purchased. From here, you can download and install it as a normal game.

No, your characters from the live game will be transferred to the PTS. You will have a profile snapshot of your characters for the PTS. The progress and characters you had at a certain point will be available to you on the PTS.

If you choose to create a new character, you will be given a template to use.

No, your progress will not transfer.

There might be phases of the PTS closing and opening as and when needed which we will make sure to communicate ahead of time.

We will keep the PTS open for as long as needed in order to get as much feedback as possible. However, once we’ve gathered enough feedback, the PTS will close and only reopen when we have new things we would like to test.

Alright Riders, it’s been a while! Hope you’re ready for a new Community Update! 
 

Since the Summer Break update, a lot of you noticed your parameters were reset. While this is already annoying, this also led a lot to believe their progression was also impacted. 
We’d like to thank everyone who stepped-in to reassure everyone their progression isn’t lost. You’re all heroes! We've also made sure on our side that such things won't happen again. 
 

Yes, the Leaderboards are here, and we can already see some heated competitions on some events. But we also heard your calls regarding some aspects of the leaderboards. Be the seasonal reset or the tricks event, where some of you are putting some professional climbers to shame. We’re now discussing on the next step and once again, thank you all for your feedback! We invited you to help us decide what is acceptable and what isn’t in the Leaderboard, and you delivered! 
 

Like the previous point, we'd like to thank everyone who share their voices on the Boost Tapping, pros and cons, despite some brigading. But it was civil in the comments, thank you, again! 
Whilst there's no update to share on this topic, we'd like to bring it up simply to reassure everyone that this isn't swept under the carpet. 
We learned a lot from this change and understood such changes should be discussed or communicated before they happen. 
 

We announced some Special Mass Races for the Summer Break, and we know some of you are impatient to try them. 
The first Special Mass Race will put everyone on the same level, with the same gears, starting the 24th. 
And the week later, the Special Mass Race will have no collisions. 
We're waiting on your honest thoughts on those once you can try them out! 
 

Finally, for this update, we're bringing the Brett's Burger Box! 
Currently, with the Weekly Challenges, you have rewards and you have stars. We're planning on replacing the biggest stars reward with the Brett's Burger Box. Brett's Burger Boxes will give you random goodies, from a previous reward or gear you missed, or exclusive new rewards or stars.  
This is a way to help new players obtaining older rewards and more seasoned players to still get new swag! 
We will be trying them out in the next Weekly challenges as a very first and small experiment. We're also planning on improving them, with more rewards in the next season. To keep including previous week rewards, new exclusive rewards. 
Now, we want to make some things very clear! We are not planning on selling the Brett's Burger Box, ever.  
 
And that's it for this update, but we're certain you'll have a lot to discuss! 
The floor is now yours, but please, remain civil! 
 
See you next time, stay classy, Riders!
The Riders Republic Team

Hello Agents,

The servers will shut down for a scheduled maintenance on Tuesday, August 16th at 09:30 CEST, 03:30 AM EDT, 12:30 AM PDT.

The estimated downtime is 3 hours.

Maintenance Notes

//The Divison 2 Team

 
We are very grateful for the persistent interest our console communities have shown, and we want you to know that this decision is based on a lot of factors and has nothing to do with prioritizing one platform over another.
 
Console Certification Process
To deploy updates on a console, we need to go through a process called certification. Certification is when an update is thoroughly tested and must match a list of requirements to guarantee a high-quality gameplay experience. This, of course, takes time to ensure that the PTS fits all the requirements.
 
Due to the nature of the PTS, updates deployed can be partially unstable or do not represent the overall quality of the game. This might add time to the overall certification process, eventually slowing down bug fixing and the implementation of community-requested features.
 
 
Quick Updates
Since PC builds do not have to go through the certification process, this allows us to react to community feedback swiftly and deploy updates faster and more efficiently. Unfortunately, on console it would take twice as much time to release PTS updates as regularly and quickly as we usually do with PC builds. 
 
 
Selection Criteria
A PC PTS does not require any “approval processes.” Every player who owns The Division 2 on Ubisoft Connect can simply download the PTS client and take part in the testing at their own convenience. 
 
Console testing requires a selection procedure, which would limit the availability of the PTS to the wider audience. Permitting and prohibiting player access to an application based on a certain set of criteria has the potential to cause disappointment if you were rejected. 
 
 
PC & Console Differences 
The existing disparity between the console and PC builds can usually create misunderstanding between players. As a result, this can cause a lot of controversy in feedback and sentiment alike, resulting in the team requiring additional time to process community feedback.
 
Lastly, it would be remiss of us if we did not briefly talk about the one and only PTS we held on console for The Division 1. During that PTS, we found that console player specific feedback was fairly limited. In addition to this, what feedback that was provided closely mirrored the feedback given to us by our PTS players on PC. With this in mind, the results we found from this testing period on console fell below expectations. 
 
We hope that explains our decision to run the PTS on PC only. We cannot currently make any promises about changing the process in the future, but we sincerely thank everyone participating in the PTS right now! We look forward to hearing more of your feedback as Phase 2 begins! 
 
Regards, 

We want to continue engaging with the Elite Task Force community members on a more regular basis and welcome even more dedicated players into the program. As you know, in the past, participation in the ETF workshops on site was a question of navigating travel logistics, obtaining a visa and making sure you can take time off work. A new format would help us make communication more streamlined and efficient, allowing greater inclusion and representation.

We want the Foxtrot online edition to become a safe space for players and developers alike to carry on conversation about current and upcoming game features.

Right now, the plan is to rebuild the existing program by introducing two new taskforces dedicated to PvE and PvP elements of the game.

In the past Elite Task Force feedback has been a key element in making game-changing updates to the game. Prime examples are updates 1.4, 1.6 and 1.8 in the original The Division which were heavily influenced by previous ETF workshops.  

Not this time. As mentioned above, ETF Foxtrot does not require traveling to Sweden as the whole world is still dealing with the global pandemic aftermath. Unless we can ensure safe and healthy conditions for meeting in person, we would need to recommend communication in an online format. All selected agents will only need to have access to the dedicated Discord channel.
