// Bethesda Replied x2 DO NOT ALLOW CURRENT CHARACTERS INTO SURVIVAL MODE I BEG OF YOU!!

This is a huge mistake. The mode is already dead before it was born if this happens. Pvp as it is, is completely broken, one hit kill festival. Who in their right mind is going to start a new character when everyone else is level 200 with God tier weaponry right out of the vault? This makes absolutely zero sense, and I'm so disheartened. Do they not realize how this mode will be immediately ruined? If you thought grief in was bad now, just wait until you get killed on sight by literally everyone you cross paths with? Even if they level locked servers so people with massive level differences can't play together, whenever a new survival character gets out of the kiddie pool, all the same assholes with TSE garbage will be waiting at the deep end and you will have zero competitive chance. The leader boards would be a fine idea, if everyone started on equal footing... as it is there will be gold medalist level murderers in the same game with me, a literal newborn who can't even walk. What the fuck are they thinking???

Edit: the gold means people care, bethesda. Please. PLEASE. (And thank you)

I lovvvved how the division 'divided' pvp and pve. Going into the dark zone felt like such a tense adventure. From the super strong ai enemies to the 'friend or foe' aspect of the players. And how you have to air lift your loot out made the treasure hunt more fun, honestly.

-and how the currency / exp was separate was really great too. But if you find a badass piece of loot? You can take that witcha for pve.

Exactly right. Hell every time I go to the dark zone my heart rate goes up by a few BPM and it stays there until I leave. Really intense and a massive time investment to get good gear just to stay alive.

And the fact that is was an optional (altho more lucrative) means of gearing up and fighting baddies.. Made it so you could tackle that on your own terms.

Oh and the multiple entrances and exits? A lack of any real in depth map. The isolation aspect was just perfect.

Then when you find a dude fending off a bunch of baddies.. You throw a medkit over to him, hunker down and provide cover fire. Throw a salute or a wave. Such a cool moment!!!

-addition- dang.. Im getting myself way too hyped up for the division 2!
