The original plan for The Division was to roll out its new public test server last week so that players could help test out Update 1.4. At the 11th hour, Ubisoft decided to delay the PTS release, saying that it was not quite feature-complete. It also postponed a special report livestream on the new update.
“After playing the build with our Elite Task Force, it became clear that to have the PTS process be valuable for us in terms of feedback, we would need some more time to include key elements that are critical to the overall Update 1.4 experience,” Ubisoft said. According to the most recent state of the game report, the public test server and special report will be “happening soon.”
Update 1.4 will introduce world tiers, which should allow solo players a means to close the progression gap between more hardcore players. Depending on a player’s gear score, he or she can choose one of four world tiers that will adjust mob difficulty and rewards.
