14 DAY TRIAL // The team at Massive that's working on the future of The Division is announcing that it is aiming to offer compensation in the form of Phoenix Credits to all those who have been affected by recent major bugs associated with backpacks that were preventing access, missing characters after the Incursion update, and missing daily assignments.
The developers are also claiming on Twitter that the maintenance period that's affecting the game today will not introduce any sort of gameplay changes to the multiplayer shooter and is only used to make sure that the title runs well during the coming seven days.
Ubisoft is aiming to deliver 500 Phoenix Credits to those who had missing characters or were affected by the backpack bug, and they will also get access to 10 high-end crafting materials, which can be used to improve their equipment.
150 Phoenix Credits are being delivered to those who were unable to get into the daily challenges, which have not been updated for three days in a row, and all these extra rewards should take no longer than two weeks to actually be delivered.
The dailies should be running again starting today, but it's entirely possible that another bug might affect them and that Ubisoft will have to offer even more compensation in the near future.
The company is doing the right thing by giving players who faced problems something as compensation.
The Division is getting ready to welcome another Incursion
The new mode challenges groups of four players that have solid equipment to tackle powerful waves of enemies in order to get access to even better rewards and bragging rights, and an entirely new installment is set to arrive in the May update.
Ubisoft is saying that the free content drop will also introduce other features to the game, most of them directly requested by the player base.
Starting June, the company is planning to launch paid expansions for The Division, with the first of them called Underground and set to open up access to tunnels under New York that are occupied by a powerful new faction.
There are plans for those other DLC drops before the end of the year, which will introduce a new game mode and other ways to interact with the game world, and in the meantime, free patches will be used to improve balance.
Ubisoft has said that The Division is the best-selling Tom Clancy title it has ever launched, and the NPD Group has confirmed that it dominated sales for the month of March in the United States.
