Tom Clancy's The Division - Returning after some time



As state in my previous post, I decided to give The Division a go today.
After a successful mission (Police Academy), the reality hit and the match making system didn't provide any matches anymore for the other Daily Mission.
After running around and doing side things for 40 minutes I gave up and logged out.

A shame. Maybe it was the time of day or my low gear rating. Anyways, the player hubs seemed to be full of players with maxed gear rating, I guess they still can find groups. But if you, like me do not have that... Then its the waiting game that seems to be the option.

I don't know how much I will end up playing... At least Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands you can play solo with no problems.

After trying again some hours later, the same thing happened. No matchmaking.
Good thing tho, they have made it possible to acquire gear by doing solo things in the city, i.e. random encounters. So I've actually gained some gear level today.

Still a good game, but the matchmaking system is kinda broken if you are not on max level (or if I just don't understand how it is supposed to work)


Day 2 update
So gave it another shot, and I now understand why the matchmaking is not working... The gear you get on the streets is just so good that the daily missions are pretty useless. Just roam the streets and find the phones/drones etc and you will gain gear levels. Just remember to up the World Tier Level whenever available.

Day 14 update
So I've been grinding gear score for two weeks. Pretty fun to go through all the extra content in the form of phones, incident reports, drone sites etc. Fun enough to recommend 2 friends to buy it when it was on sale ($10). If you have friends to play with, this is a really fun game, otherwise I hope you like the solo grinding, some of us do but most do not.... : )
