I'm still playing this. I know it is repetitive, but I just have a lot of fun with it, and it is quick and easy to team up and run missions. I still can't get through Stolen Signal. It pisses me off.
The additions in 1.8 are fun, but seemed more novelty after a few times. But, the global events are a nice touch.
I think I may have maxed out my gear. Also, I'm having a tough time finishing out my classified gear sets.
Right now, I'm running Alpha Bridge, Tactician and Final Measure. They're tied together with the Ninja Bike Messenger Bike that doubles as a second piece for each of the gear for bonuses.
And Division 2 was announced today. I hope they moved locations for 2 -- putting it in L.A., Chicago, San Francisco, or even Seattle.
Apparently, there will be a link between your grinding in 1 with 2.
And, it looks like Ubisoft is working not to eff up all the gains they've made.
I'm running at a GS 281.
