1.1补丁的补充说明（改动思路说明）
THE DIVISION: ITEM DROPS AND CRAFTING IN UPDATE 1.104.07.2016 11:00AM Agents, As you already know, we will be deploying update 1.1 in a few days. This is very exciting for all of us as it will be the first major content update since the release of the game! With it, we will implement new End-Game activities and a new layer of character progression with gear score 204 (equivalent level 32) items and Gear Sets items. However, as we add this new layer of character equipment to the game, we also wanted to seize this opportunity to address something that will change your end game experience significantly: the importance of crafting versus item drops. State of CraftingThe Division is primarily a RPG. As such, gearing up your character is one of the main aspects and incentives to keep playing the game once the story missions are completed and max level is reached. As part of the End-Game loop, players are expected to obtain their equipment by trying to beat challenging activities, and be rewarded for it. As each player develops and perfects their build, he or she will be looking for very specific items that will contribute to that build. Looking for one specific item can be quite tedious, but it should also feel extremely satisfying when the item is finally acquired.
The way our crafting feature is designed is to offer an alternative for players to temporarily complete their gear, by crafting missing pieces of their level. For End-Game we want crafting and our different in-game economies to provide reliable but slower source of gear compared to loot dropped from named enemies. If after many attempts you could not find said item, you should have acquired enough materials to try to craft something similar instead. It will not replace the item, but you will still be rewarded for your persistence.
However, at the moment, loot drops are just too rare and disappointing, putting too much of an emphasis on crafting: you are looking for crafting materials and may sometimes end up dropping an interesting item in the process.
This is clearly illustrated in the following graphs. Here you can see how many Item level 31 High-End items were acquired through crafting compared to items acquired as loot drops. 
As many of you pointed out in the past weeks, the end result does not provide the level of fun that we had hoped for.
To address the situation, and simply make End-Game more satisfying and more focused towards improving your build one piece at a time, we will be implementing a series of changes with update 1.1, some of which have already been communicated in the Patch Notes, and others that we are about to reveal now.
More High-End ItemsFrom now on killing a named NPC will grant you a guaranteed High-End drop! That’s right, you will now always get a High-End item from killing a named NPC of level 30+.
The gear score of said High-End will be determined by the level of the NPC. For example, a level 30 named will guarantee a gear score 163 High-End. With so much more High-End drops, you’ll quickly notice that crafting High-End items, while more expensive, will not necessarily be much more complicated. To make sure that crafting remains a viable alternative, we will also increase drop rates of Division Tech materials to 40% on level 32 named enemies in the Dark Zone.
New drop tables have been designed to grant you just enough control to focus your efforts on specific NPCs, depending on your need. Each named NPC will now have more chances to grant a specific type of High-End item. By discovering the specificities of each named NPC, you will quickly learn which ones you should focus on in order to obtain specific items.
Crafting as an alternativeYou have already seen the changes that will be brought to crafting, but let’s go through them in more details here. Increased costs for converting crafting materials and crafting High-End items: - 10 Standard (Green) materials instead of 5 to craft 1 Specialized (Blue) material
- 15 Specialized (Blue) materials instead of 5 to craft 1 High-End (Gold) material
- 10 High-End (Gold) materials instead of 8 to craft 1 lvl 31 High-End (Gold) item
Changed deconstruction yield of Standard (Green) and High-End (Gold) items: - Deconstructing a Standard (Green) item yields 1 Standard material instead of 2
- Deconstructing a High-End (Gold) item yields 1 High-End material instead of 2
By changing the conversion rates, we will encourage players to use their low level materials while they are leveling up, instead of saving them until they reach level 30. It will also bring more decision making between selling and deconstructing low quality items. Most High-End materials should come from deconstructing High-End items, and not deconstructing lower quality items to then convert these materials into High-End ones. Similarly, lowering yields when deconstructing items will also lower the efficiency of items farming.
Once again, we want you to consider deconstructing and material converting as an alternative when you get an item that doesn’t contribute to your build, and not the main mean to develop your build as a whole.
ConclusionTo sum up the list of changes brought with update 1.1 in regards to item drops and crafting, we will: - Increase drop rates of High-End items on named NPCs (100% drop rate, actually)
- Increase drop rates of Division Tech, to make it less of a bottleneck than it currently is
- Modify loot tables for each named NPC, to make the hunt for loot more controlled
- Increase conversion costs of lower quality materials to high quality ones, making it harder to convert low quality materials into high quality ones
- Decrease construction yields, making it less interesting to farm lower quality items in order to obtain crafting materials, and because you’ll get more High-End items as a whole
- Increase cost of crafting High-End items, because High-End materials will be much easier to come by
These changes will not only make crafting and dropping more coherent towards each other, but will also make it feel much more fun and rewarding.
Balancing an online game is no easy task, and while we believe that these changes are a step in the right direction for the future of the game, we will keep monitoring the situation and address what needs to be modified. But more than that, we will have an eye on all aspects of your experience, and balance things when needed. Sometimes it means making hard decisions that might not be appreciated, and when this happens we will make sure to give you the visibility you need to understand why these decisions are made.
Your feedback is very valuable to us, so keep the discussions going, we will be reading!
-The Division Team ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~分割线~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 文章具体有用内容不多，所以就不逐句翻译了。讲下大意：
首先，这个1.1补丁是游戏发售后第一次重大更新，工作组也很激动。随着这个补丁更新，以及高达GS204（对应等级32）装备和套装的加入，玩家可以体验游戏后期精彩内容，并把自己的人物提升到一个新境界。
其次，由于过去玩家装备大多数源于合成。工作组觉得这样会很无趣，影响玩家热情。所以他们进行了调整，希望调整后，玩家装备来源大致上和上面那个图比例一致（图为31级装备）：45%以上成来自合成制作，30%以下来自商人购买，20%以上直接源于NPC掉落。
再次，现在击杀一个30级以上有名字的NPC将必掉一件“高档”（金色）装备。30级怪保底会掉落一件GS163的金色装备。
同时，还提高了升级材料的耗费，提高了合成装备所需材料，同时还降低了分解装备的产出（上文有翻译）。这样做的目的，是让玩家觉得自己收材料制作太昂贵，从而鼓励玩家更多杀怪。
此外，还把暗区32级有名字NPC掉特工材料几率提高到40%（PS:其实以前貌似也不算太低，不过就是绿色、蓝色太多，金色太少。这样的好处也是显而易见的，避免暗区箱子被少数人所控的尴尬）
