Ubisoft Vice President Anna Blondel-Juan told MCV how important patches are for long-running projects like The Division.

The card is not very large by the standards of MMO-shek and any network survivals, but it is quite densely packed with various kinds of buns. Only now, if you complete all the main missions twice, close the sidelines, incidents and collect all the lore, then the old locations simply die. All that’s left is to re-pass the mission if you have a grudozavisimost, yes to collect supplies if you are good at crafting.

Yes, by the way, there is craft, but this element of the game is very optional. It can be ignored without much damage to the pleasure of the process and passing, because during wanderings around New York there are often already objects of a sufficiently high quality and level, especially in the Dark Zone. But if you are a fan of needlework, then you have an additional plus in the game.
