Only time will tell whether this is just a badly worded press release, or if The Division is marching towards pay-to-win status. After all, the same Ubisoft Club rewards page offers a pack of three Dark Zone keys that let you "explore the Dark Zone further", which is grossly overstating their use as simple keys to open loot crates (or glorified boxes) in the Dark Zone. Of course, all these fears can be alleviated if it were simply attributed to a poor choice of words. However, the fact that the Ubisoft Club page specifically says "high level equipment" rather than cosmetic items leads to some concerns that the purpose of Phoenix Credits has changed to let you essentially buy good equipment faster than anyone can obtain it through a reasonable amount of normal gameplay. While the existence of such a pack in itself is not an issue - given that it is a one time (and free) offer for those who play Ubisoft games - the potential implications that such a currency has can be devastating.Īs of one month ago, it was revealed that Phoenix Credits exist in the game to let you buy cosmetic items with real money, a fairly standard practice nowadays. According to an update to The Division's Ubisoft Club rewards page, there is a "Phoenix Credit Pack" that gives you 30 Phoenix Credits so that you can buy "high level equipment."
In other words, someone who quickly leveled through the game and reached end game status before Friday likely has a full suite of high-end gear.Unfortunately, like most modern games, there is also a concern over whether or not The Division will let you buy good loot with real money and essentially become a pay-to-win game. With Phoenix Credits dropping at such a high rate and in large numbers, players were able to quickly farm the end game currency and pick up all of the best loot. While Ubisoft did not offer a reason for the Phoenix Credit nerf it seems motivated by a need to slow player progress. The Division update 1.2: Phoenix Credits cap doubled, gear score lowered for next Incursion The Division's next major update will increase the number of Phoenix Credits that players can hold to 2,000. It’s a harsh drop to be sure, and one that has not gone over well with the community.
Previously, players could get upwards of 10 Phoenix Credits per Dark Zone boss kill, and now that tally has dropped down to 1-3. August 23rd, 2018 - Update 1.8.3 Balancing changes to Strikers Battlegear, gameplay and bug fixes, and more June 14th, 2018 - Update 1.8.2 'Parsnip' Shields added, Two new Legendary Missions, increased Phoenix Credits limit, changed to Gear Sets, and more April 12th, 2018 - Update 1.8. Second, and more surprisingly, Ubisoft Massive also nerfed the Phoenix Credit drop rate for Dark Zone bosses.
First, the developers disabled the ‘Trained Talent’ perk from any weapon in game, preventing players from abusing the Midas SMG for endless ability cycling. During a brief server maintenance down time on March 12th, Ubisoft stealth patched The Division to make a few changes.
