Prioritize PvE Content
In MMO-like games that have popped up in recent years such as Destiny and The Division, both PvE and PvP content have been important elements that attract a wide variety of gamers. Destiny’s PvP was flawed but still fun at the end of the day in both its regular PvP modes and its hyper-competitive Trials of Osiris. Interesting guns and armor were added to Destiny, and if it broke PvP, it was addressed later, but rarely did it feel PvE was held back severely. With Destiny 2, however, Bungie went too far in trying to make the game overly competitive and balanced. In addition to Destiny 2’s lack of content, it also now has a lack of interesting loot worth grinding for.
The Division has a similar style of gear being the same no matter where you decide to use it, be it in the Dark Zone or a cooperative mission. While PvP modes might be extremely popular, PvE is the bread and butter for games like The Division and is the way most people will get introduced and hooked to the game’s world and mechanics enough to feel confident to try PvP to begin with. If the PvE suffers early on in The Division 2 like it did with The Division, expect the masses to bail once again regardless of how much fun the PvP may or may not be.
