The Division's daily missions are MIA ... again
Ubisoft Massive is trying to find a 'permanent solution.'
Are you looking for a daily mission in Ubisoft's The Division? Apparently, so is Ubisoft ... again.
Less than a month after The Division's Daily Missions mysteriously disappeared, they have again gone missing, according to a tweet from the team. "We are aware that Daily Missions are missing once again today. A permanent solution to this recurring problem is being looked into."
Many players are getting increasingly frustrated. After the latest glitch, one fan threatened to take his money elsewhere: "There are some new games coming out over the next month that should provide the solution."
The Division has been plagued with plenty of bugs since it launched in early March. There have been so many fixes that Ubisoft has threatened to punish anyone that exploits the bugs. They reiterated the ban threat when an Incursion bug was found. Of course, if players weren't banned, they could have still found their character missing. Ubisoft apologized for the bugs by passing out Phoenix credits, but new bugs keep popping up.
At least the servers go down every week for maintenance. Hopefully, the daily missions will reappear before the next maintenance on Thursday.

I do for features. The old content management system I worked with for the last couple years had a built-in spellchecker. Shack's does not. Still getting used to that, but still no excuse. Lazy typing.

last week someone posted that the daily mission list was hard coded. I kind of thought they were half kidding but given all the issues I wasnt sure. then last night I saw this on reddit.

I am not saying this game isn't full of issues, because it totally is, but sometimes devs have to do stupid shit to get the game shipped. This file doesn't really mean very much by itself.
The fault would be on Ubisoft to not give them more time/resources, but let's be realistic, there is shit in most games that is badly coded like this.
I think what matters in most cases is whether the spirit of the game is ruined and whether or not they can fix it in a reasonable timeframe.
In this case I think there are bigger problems they are focused on fixing and haven't gotten around to making a random daily generator.
On the flip side, it is kind of ridiculous that someone on their team hasn't just written a schedule task that updates this file with some random variables. But I assume their team is stretched thin in terms of time for that, and the QA and verification process involved in something that is random is pretty costly. See my statement about the fault of Ubisoft not giving them more.
Point is that just because something seems ridiculous of maybe even has an easy fix, in development it is often thrown into a complicated workflow and situations that are not easy to overcome.
Hopefully they can get the resources to fix all the shit in the game already.-
yeah I realize that stuff happens but honestly it probably would have taken less time to write something that walks through the list each day than hard code the missions out for 90 days.

in addition to that some of the days have mistakes in them like the challenge and one of the hards are the same mission, there is no April 31st, etc

They actually predicted which days would have problems and asked massive to fix them before they went missing again. They did not. May 6th will be missing dailies again if the permanent fix isn't implemented by then.

hamish tweeted it was being resolved today but who knows if it will actually happen at this point lol

I'm just going to stop buying games within the first 6 months of launch
-
There is a certain entertainment value I've gotten from The Division that is outside the game. It's a rollercoaster ride for sure.

The lollercoaster, if you will
LOL-LOL

Yeah, I really loved the 1-30 journey and like the week of DZ stuff. Definitely got my money's worth. Hopefully they fix this game up and get an end game worth playing.
