It also locks talents, so youll need multiple copies of gear if you every want to change up your build, so theres gonna be a huge stash problem
Also a god roll piece of proto gear is twice as potent as non proto
So the endgame sweat to new player stat gap is getting MASSIVE
Like, im not opposed to endgame investment, but theres already so many menial and grindy systems for stat buffs that give endgame players an easy excuse to discriminate against a new character vs old character regardless of experience
The scope of the content we grind is about shrink drastically too, the game was already a countdown simulator, but at least there were other means, now its all escalation
I think itll take a while before we see that gap open, given its more rng focused, so old builds will probably outperform proto builds until then, but the second you get a single piece of well rolled proto gear, youre getting a huge bump
It almost reminds me of the chase for uniques during the launch era of Diablo 4
LEAVE HER ALONEE
Oh god the proto gear is going to make dark zone a NIGHTMARE for new players to enter
I wonder what a fully grolled proto pvp build will look like ttk wise, because DZ could become a stat slop fest
Unlikely its true
That message was meant to stir the pot and deflect blame to the OpenWF devs, and there has been no proof of the smaller offenses mentioned like cheated gear, so if they didnt do that, i doubt they got source code
Upgrading does not require any resources, but it changes how the item’s attributes are generated.
One attribute is guaranteed to be maxed at the new Prototype maximum value
The other attributes remain at their previous maximum values
There is a chance for additional attributes to also roll at the new Prototype maximum
so i have to get multiple of same gear and rng upgrade to prototype huh
for example prototype gear weapon damage stat is maxed at 22.5% compared to normal gear's 15%
that's like 50% more isn't it? damn
I get endgame players are starving for more meaningful content, but i hate divs insistance on just making endgame a stat game
Its such an exhausting journey to just get to the endgame baseline before you even consider your actual build
wtf. you need max expertise to even convert your old gear to prototype
Yup
And THAT is a grindy hell on its own
Thats like hundreds of hours of resource/countdown farming
yeah... first you need to get your expertise cap to 30.. then you need to actually upgrade expertise for the gear to 30
What I'm hearing is that I will continue to not play Div2
I love division at its core but holy fuck the grindiness in div 2 could make an eastern mmo blush
Its almost a blessing the game barely gets content, even the unemployed would struggle to keep up
and then the new augments thing
i guess you can reroll it but needs another exclusive currency...
Proto gear shouldve just been the augments
I really wanna get back into running the Dark Zone but that barrier to entry is just too much
Can oreo loaf
Fat
Or do he roll
https://insider-gaming.com/red-storm-entertainment-closing/
wtf. THE tom clancy studio is not going to develop games anymore
Lol ubisoft needs to die faster
Good loaf form but the cuddles are lacking
I wouldnt be surprised if ubisoft really is just having to close shit down to stay afloat right now
It took star wars outlaws fumbling for them to wake up
And now theyre finally remembering Div exists
Not for long apparently
Idk what that means
Div 2 has an actual content timeline going for like the first time in its life
Like actual content and not years of seasons and maybe a dlc
@empty estuary it begins
man 0.3% to get godrolls (i assume that means all attributes get the maxed out value instead of previous values)
this is going to be a LONG hamster wheel grind..
ah well. i guess i'll just stick to whatever, doing escalations probably not gonna be viable for me anyway. i can barely do legendaries
I just wanna dz without having to worry about the most unemployed humunculus ever killing me with a sneeze
I really wish we could see a fully optimized proto build in pvp
I wanna see the ttk comparison so bad
Uh oh
but yeah. i guess whoever gets the prototype lexington with maxed all attributes should play the lottery lol
Fuck that
well i guess converting your current gear to prototype will be an upgrade
just that afterwards will be a lot harder to gain an upgrade
it's gonna be harder for people to figure out min/maxed potential as well since it's a huge time sink
@bright crown 1 squee 4 u
Im glad that longtime players have the long term grind they want, but prototype gear as it is on TOP of expertise levels and SHD levels is simply asking too much of a new player
On its own i think its a fine system, but stacked with an already monumental grind its bad
i'm just afraid that in the future there will be activities that will require minmaxed prototype gear to even stand a chance
Also the discrimination purely based on stats
People kick based on SHD level in COUNTDOWN of all things
weird. i've only been kicked in countdown if i'm using a weird ass build
was a high end all red gearset with palisade backpack lmao
I have a standard striker st elmo build and i get kicked constantly
I can very easily hold my own in countdown but people dont care
All my stats are right too (though not fully optimized)
i usually do ongoing directive in countdown
I really hate the idea of a player being instantly recognized as better or worse because they ran countdown 1000 times before a new player had a chance to
The power from shd levels is just not earned at all
do people not do challenging countdown these days?
Apparently the second hardest difficulty is the meta one but i always run challenging cause i get better mm times
the advice i've seen is that you run countdown on challenging because the loot is not that much different from heroic
so when i was low shd i exclusively run countdown on challenging
generally i run OD because i can do okay dps and at the same time increase other members dps
Countdown isn't worth it anymore , plus it's buggy
well ig yeah, i do retaliation mostly nowadays, but new players it's still an okay source of heroic tier gear
I forget when the update drops but they're adding new end game gear
yeah but that gear is SO DAMN GRINDY to get
realistically it's only for people who regularly do legendaries, have 30 expertise on the stuff they regularly use, that sort of thing
They found the Compiler yet?
as discussed before, prototype rarity gear can't be tinkered with or optimized, and if you upgrade your gear to prototype, you're only guaranteed 1 stat to increase to the new maximum. the other stats stay at previous tier maximum.
so realistically you have to
a) get normal drops of the gear you want
b) FULLY optimize and expertise said gear
c) upgrade that gear to prototype and pray RNG is kind enough to give you multiple attributes stats to prototype tier maximum
if at c) you only get 1 or 2 stats to increase, back to square one you go
well there's another option and that is farming random drops in escalation, but that will be random stats ranging from high end maximum to prototype maximum values
The Reddit gonna tear them apart, they will rework this system soon. 
nah. a lot of people are defending it from what i see. they are saying it makes loot exciting again
which is a VERY familiar argument
You cant taxi steel path
Steel path just doesnt take long to get anymore
You dont need every node in the game anymore, just up to new war
SP used to be scary
Holy crap new TADC episode dropped
Gonna be a traumatizing episode
Retaliation is better..?

Wait, whats the diff between regular and prototype gear?
dahel do you want, rice?

Higher stats and an extra augment (kinda like a mini talent)
Good lord
I can already tell I’m going to half ass it and just be like ‘oh it has the minitalent i want. Im done :-)’
A groll proto gear is like 50% stronger than a groll non-proto variant
Higher stats as in the %?
Good luck with that, its HEAVILY rng based, so your old gear will probably better until you strike gold
Well in this val sent they got like 20% extra cd it seems
yep. example, weapon damage red core is 15% value, on prototype it can be max 22.5%
Its straight up just widening the stat gap between new and old players for no reason
Guess no one gonna step foot in DZ anymore with those around
to upgrade current gear to prototype the gear must be fully optimized and expertise 30
You need expertise 30 to touch proto gear btw :)
i guess you can try your luck and farm random drops in escalation
except... you can't choose targeted loot in escalation as well. it's on a weekly rotation
Ah ok then fuck all that
im only at expertise 12 and i feel kinda sick of grinding for it
and ive already taken a several month’s break
Yeah its meant to be THE big grind for people whove been playing for years
yeah i'm at 15. lol it forces you to use gear you don't want to use
or i guess pay materials
Except massive neglected to consider those that havent
or those that have played a ton
But didnt actually care to donate everything to expertise
i guess with the new stat increases people won't need ceska pieces anymore
9% crit chance per gear
Floppo grouper stocks increasing yet again
I don’t even remember the original brand name
grupo?
Yeah
i guess depends on build
Something grupo
something like tipping scales won't want grupo ig
Oh wait its grupo sombra right
ye
grouper slumber
in other news i just got overdogs gloves and can see why people are raving about it
it reloads your other weapons when you swap to it right
overdogs is a new exotic or whuh
And 50% bonus damage
it's free 30% damage amp by just playing normally lol
turmoil?
Yeah
that's not in the game yet
Its the cod quote

"switching to your pistol is faster than reloading"?
Its the pts
Yea
back half of that sentence is the talent name
i thought there's already a pistol perk that kinda embodies that haha
also i haven't made a build with this yet
should update my headhunter build
did you see the new exotic AR?
Nah

something about holstering it for 10s increases its damage for 20s
So this plus overdawgs
Deaftones
isnt that just a worse nemesis
Chat we got accepted into college 🥳🥳🎉🎉👏
Grat
kinda, but you don't have to charge it
We'll have crimson desert 2 with 5x the ai art 
hey congrats man. first step is always the best
Cryo archive is so rough
It is very rough to watch , I agree

Are there already accusations of ai art?

Crimson Slop
Oh jesus
Undisclosed ai art too
Btw this is weird right
So I was in a very small discord server for marathon, and today I look over at my monitor and see that I'm no longer in the server right. I join one in game and say what's going on, says nothing leaves the lobby and unfriends me.
That's weird right
They also didnt disclose a lack of support for intel gpus
uh oh 
Understandable if I was some evil dog but I didn't even do anything
:( I'm back to having to squad fill
Youre the dog being incinerated to progress someone else’s story
I genuinely don't know what I even did though, like I haven't gone off at anyone or have been rude I just play the game
If I had to guess they all decided I wasn't good enough
yeah.... it sometimes does be like that where a discord for a comp game just decides you aren't worth it
It would have been nice to just tell me upfront instead of being cowards
I mean, I'm still in my D2 clan as they're "real" people who hold weekly Netflix streams despite the fact that I don't really interact with them much
I get marathon is a hard game but like bruh
and I'm talking about the fact that they "interviewed" me before allowing me to join the clan full-time
during COVID
said "interview" was about "you an evil dog/what is your playtime frequency going to look like?"
I'm just waiting for yg and what not to get the marathon brain worm and catch up to me
and also where I was "currently" at in life. Like "what age bracket are you?"
participators. And I think they only went as far as "we attempt Day 1"
more of it was a "toxic childish filter"
World first Cryo race is still going
ok.... so I'm guessing it's like ARG map edition with loot?
hence the "Cryo race"?
Yeah
yeah, I don't think my soul would survive that type of competitive shit
I just need to get better ngl, I'm having my arse handed to me by purple kitted teams
It just sucks that I really don't have a consistent team to play with
better option: Quit comp multiplayer games.
It's too emotionally painful 
Also I'll see clips of American players and the purple kitted teams they play against are terrible. In oce it's John wick and a full factory of grenades
I don't think I'm built for extraction shooters 😂
Since I know I don't wanna waste time
Huh.....
https://www.reddit.com/r/Division2/comments/1rwrfnz/why_is_the_division_2_suddenly_more_popular/ lmao. did div2 really got popular or something
top comment is right theres kind of a weird spot in looter shooters
with d2 being so dead there became an influx of people needing shit to play and putting your game on a $3 sale really helps
wait... FR???
it's still on sale for $3????
Cryo world first race is insane
eyup
hmmm suuuper tempting
if you like looter shooters div2 is excellent
just that it's 3rd person for me is a bit of a minus
like how many "hoops" do I need to jump in order to get something "functional"
let's see
that's why I've pretty much cold-turkey D2
you do the campaign, picking up whatever you can find is enough
after the campaign when you get your watch, you can either take the slow way up by doing open world stuff gradually by difficulty level, or do the loot pinata activities for endgame loot immediately
Not really much
✨that's great ✨
i have substantially less hours in div2
i already have a few rudimentary builds
and one semi complex build that i copied 
cuz its really just
most meta builds are easy to farm
it's more "kit loadout" builds rather than chasing mods to make kits usable right?
what armour, what exotic, what weapons
“Oh you’re running a gun build? Go crit
”
generally builds focus on either doing weapon damage, being tanky or using your SHD skills
^ exactly that
So EVERYTHING is usable???!! 😮
and no "RNG weapon" nonsense of D2???
aka "must have specific barrel" shit
there is still rng but you get to "save" the rng results to use on another weapon
basically any weapon you don't use, you can save the stats that you might want to put on another weapon
wait wait wait.... so the dream that I wanted in D2.
"Scrapping weapons allows you to keep perk combos" is in Div 2????
like you can do a knockout list for perks
sort of yeah, but not whole combos. you can swap one part of the stats
yep
✨Sold✨
sold, for $3!
you still need to get a bit lucky but at least for meta builds it's very forgiving

Ah yes
‘Just run striker with 60% cc’
and dont get hit

i still dont understand how sometimes
if it means I can "guarente" to see a functional build in a year. I'll bite
i mean you can not run striker, maybe go heartbreaker or something for first build lol
I see people running ALL REDS
you can get a functional build in a month
And they can facetank with their shield
or less
like that's my biggest hate for D2. I'm still having PTSD of farming for.... Hold on....
also, loot is tradable between members of the same party
Dis shit
it's kinda like WoW's system
took like +2Y
3 months?
where you can trade loot for a limited time between your party members
I only got it the WEEK before it was scheduled for "Sunset expire date"
and that was me playing every day and farming at least 2h per day
the journey to endgame is quite relaxing in this game
you don't have to run one specific activity for usable loot
anyway.... I'm kinda midly upset that I spent so much on D2
you can farm open world. you can do summit. you can do countdown. you can do retaliations.
about the only gripe i have with this game is that it's 3rd person lol
tbh, 3rd person isn't exactly too dealbreaking
ornaments specifically
ymmv about the general setting of the game tho
Div 2 has an ok drip system as well right? Fashion is real endgame 
You can get a viable build really fast, its min-maxing your build that takes ages
i'm not too sure about drip lol. didn't pay too much attention to it
this is the apparel system ig
nevermind my raincoat
Character creation is awful, cosmetics are fine, but its gonna feel bad early on unless you buy drip
Transmog is free

and when we mean min-maxing, it's like HSR Relic grinding right?
I’m still using regular equipment and free apparels
btw i didn't spend a single cent for all the apparel
easy enough to get to "workable stats"
Easy to get your core build, hundreds of hours to get minimal stat bumps to complete your build
yeah it's easy to get workable stats. most farming routes will get you around 60-80% of the way there to max stats. once in a blue moon you find some that are almost max stats. there is a system that uses expensive material to max out stats on the equipment of your choice
Its a good game, but it makes you griiiiind
one gorjillion billion years to stack all into red and crit
like i said, the meta builds are actually very easy to assemble and even minmax
tbh.... that sounds about the best idea stopping point for me (80%).
It's not like there's that much of night n day difference of that final 20% to ruin enjoyment, right?
and I'm talking about D2 "Icarus grip" nonsense shit
the 80% probably gets you through heroic with some smart play
Ask again when prototype gear is live for a couple months 
ah great
problem for future me
which is present me at the same time
why I'm going to mog past me
presentism smh
also, you can save ingame loadouts. and div2 had that feature before forbidden game did
Its just got quirks cause i dont think anyone intended for it to go on this long
wait... is Div 2 as old as WF? Or with a similar lifespan?
no
No its much younger
2017 i believe
ah, but basically the IP and core concept has been around for a while
Thats what i thought highkey, div 2 feels older than it is

yeah lol
well it's part of tom clancyverse
I thought Div 2 was around the same age as Fortnite
but way more... liberties i guess
I think div 2 is part of the whole ubisoft universe now
Theyre all loosely intertwined now i think
I know far cry is at least
I need to double check on AC tho
i see STALKER 2 drip in the shop and drool
AC and Watch Dogs is in the same universe
i don't think farcry has any ties to clancyverse o_O
That gas shit thats in far cry 5 is used by one of the factions in Div 2 iirc
huh? bliss?
the hyenas?
But i couldve sworn that was mentioned
i don't think it's bliss, it seems to be a stimulant of some sort, bliss is like a brainwashing gas
Maybe its just the different Clancy games then
Cause that is definitely all connected cause sam fisher is in Ghost Recon and R6
And div is just there
oh the gas is called Spice in div
caveira was also in a ghost recon game
Im sure ubi is locked and loaded to toss aaron keener into r6 the next time the player count gets dire
hatsune miku joins team Rainbow
Miku joins R6 after Fortnite.... what a time
I remember one time i said i lost interest in r6 cause they ditched the realism, someone told me it was still there, so i reinstalled and was greeted by rick and morty skins

the skins are so absurd
I played exactly one match of R6 and I still stand by my principle
it is not a game you want to play
it is a game you get invited after playing with a comp clan
since chat was like LoL
yeah... i kinda miss the old r6
well with red storm entertainment not making games anymore i doubt it will happen
How do you exfil
get to level 3 and then find a scanner terminal
itl shhow an exfil terminal then you gotta book it to the exfil that it reveals
what is it?
||you get the compiler's core, as well as its laser as a weapon, its basically a d2 trace rifle||
Let me rook into marathon bungie, itll be funny
Oh also theres an exclusive runner skin for killing the compiler and exfiling
Its not a drop from the boss itself but its a codex reward
I wonder if the ||compiler laser will be good for killing the compiler again and again, kinda like touch of malice in d1 for kings fall||
Its not even skins where its rick and morty
Its rick and morty costumes
as a skin
so you get oh jeez! soyfacing while the guy tbags your dead body
I dont get it
Other IPs the whole deal was the operator was basically dressed up as the character
but for rick and morty they stick a fucking rick or morty head on the operator
halloween ass costume
They turned me into a pickle
Man i suck at outpost
Haven't bought it yet , probably until Monday . (boyfriend splitting the cost with me and that's his pay day lol)
Still looking at reviews and the devs still patching a bunch of stuff so the wait ain't too bad
HOWEVER I am upset they made the tutorial puzzle easier cuz ppl kept crying it was too hard
The yellow paint gamers strike again
Dilbert
it took 10 hours for people to get to the compiler and 4 hours later i think it's still not defeated?
why is this dude putting up [the hard raid from that other game] numbers
ok so it seems you need to open all the vaults to get all the subroutines to even fight the compiler
Why cant anybody even kill compiler yet
is this some fuckass [redacted] like from the hitgame [redacted] 2
it's just a lot of health and he deals a lot of damage
no theyre not like the other game
they're like
put a battery in a terminal i think
but also you need to get the battery from outside the fight
tbh i hope bungie doesn't nerf him
it's cool to have a crazy endgame goal to look forward to in a 3 month long season
oh the official bungie stream with milo casting is ending
that's sad
Nah it's defeated
ok so to my understanding:
opening vaults 1-6 (requires the keys from the other maps) and solving their puzzles gives you an ai subroutine, once you get each of them you unlock a codex entry and once you get all of them you can fight the compiler
oh it is?
Yeah
i haven't seen a video of the clear
Drops some.neat stuff
and milo was talking about it like it's still a race
i saw the gun is that from the compiler
I have keys for 1,4,5
i have one key (idr which) but i am also completely broke for dying twice in there yesterday so i gotta rebuild before i go back in
the map is amazing tho
If you scroll up that was a green kit run
Lost the bully and the misraih eventually but Im up massively
The two randoms I found were fucking cracked
just a bunch of consumables?
Yesh
btw do we know what the lab with the lockdown field has
we ran into it yesterday but didn't go in
Dire marsh lockdowns?
You gotta do them three times, the loot gets better each time eventually giving you a purple salvage I think
@blissful pagoda here's what a prototype lex with all upgraded stats looks like
How

no there is a lab room in cryo with the same force field thing that you need antivirus for
bungie why
i just watched snazzy go in
why is there parkour
Marathon
@empty estuary did you escape cryo successfully
Or even try your luck on that murder fest
No one makes it out alive
You just gotta kill the other teams
Played and exfilled multiple times
Kill the other teams so you can loot in peace and not worry about getting shot in the back when scrambling for exfil
Fair enough. Is the play ideally getting security level 1 open and then moving to shots nearby?
For a third party
Yeah that's how I played last
We get to 1-2 depending on where you spawn
Sneak the dogs and profit
You want 3+ for exfil
It's a really big map though
this is only the first deck of the marathon too
i am so scared for season 2
Holy hell
That picture of the whole marathon ship and the yellow blob where we are is scary af😭
remember this ship is built inside the moon deimos
I don’t even understand that shit I need to tap into the lore cause that sounds so cool
marathon 2 (releasing 2050) will feature an open world uesc marathon map
it's literally the real life moon of mars
they just used it to build a ship in
tbh i think it made more sense in the orignal trilogy
i haven't played those but i think there deimos was the whole frame of the ship
in the new one it's just kinda there for aura purposes i guess?
"first of the end game maps" btw
I hope we get more pfhor
i hope this game lives to the point where we look back at the compiler and say "yeah this is like really easy now actually"
Same
I'll probably wait until next week for the vaults
I'll try and get all 6 keys
Not sure if 7 exists
i think you get the key for 7 from a codex entry after you get all 6 subroutines
7 is just the boss arena
True
Btw codex stuff doesn't wipe I believe
Unless they specifically wipe the ai subroutines
i mean
would you even want to fight the compiler immediately after the wipe
i guess you won't need to get all the vault keys again in the new season
I love red
I like blue henry personally
Yeee blue is pretty
crimson desert is pretty good
Are the destiny servers up and do you need Xbox gold to play?
So are they down or not? Because I havent seen a message that they are up.
ur asking the one channel with probably the least amount of active destiny players
yeah exactly this is the marathon channel
Real
now i jut realised im resprenting the plaugers xd
Not fully
You're just red
If you finish the game you can get the full set kinda from Han's chest in the Devil's Den
Like the overcoat and horse cover
oh fr? seen a vid of it thoght it was mod
Yeah but you having it means you're just a horrible person

Not the horse!
Tbf that horse is easily top 5 best horses
One of the fastest
There's a couple faster
But have like no carry weight
Yee I just love the yelllow one I’ll try to find a full red cover one

nah
That look on his face is haunting 😳
it's just the curse of people working in technical jobs i guess, if you know the stuff you kinda notice stuff is off

Lamp!!!
I want the durr burger mug
holymoly
Peak
the great war bond is mine
The new smg is fucking heat
Can you actually dig trenches? 
Takes ages but yes
They should've added an eagle that does that
Or like a long mine strip
I know there's the shovel, was wondering if the trench warbond has something that's more efficient 
Sadly no
Was the first one any good
It was very good
Best Minecraft spin off game
It's basically a rpg with rougelite elements
np gng , have a nuka cola

In fall is crazy tho , I want it now lol
@lavish forge like hey
Hi
Hi 👋🏽
Just saying… if you’ve been regular for like a phat minute you should get like a little plus sign or something! It’d be really cute! Regular+
That would take quite a bit of work to automate it
bit of work for fairly little gained, that's not high on the priority list
I've been around for a minute , it doesn't seem worth it
I suppose paragon in itself is similar to a "regular+"
How does one get paragon again ?
wtf i didn't expect to clear heroic retaliation with this build
Depends on what you see as gained, to some it may just be a plus sign but to others it’s a slightly cuter server, and that brings honor to us all
just made this really wacky build lmao
Become an admin so you can campaign for it
Venetia would quake

@lavish forge 
That as well yes
a +1 for how many users are under you on the rank leaderboard
Is the leaderboard rank determined by engagement in the server or how long you've been in it ?
How many messages youve sent
I thought it's a looter dungeon crawler
it was ok, very basic, but it IS a kids game
if you want a casual ARPG experience id recommend just playing diablo 4 instead
its similar to Diablo
They always put 'looking for carry , I'll add clear' in raid lfg's
At the end me and the Destroyer just sprinted to final exfil, leaving them behind
That's tuff
and bungie thought level 25 was enough experience to play cryo
did they also have a perimeter contract
because other than that there's like no reason to play perimeter after a certain point
Yes
We were spamming ping at their contract objective
But they were absolutely clueless
At the end we just gave up and sprinted for final exfil
Which they also missed
i usually get the opposite
im trying to get to my objective and the randoms are hell bent on going to the other side of the map for no reason
We were done with my contract early
So I was trying to help them with theirs
Terminal in North and South relay, then second floor Hauler
But for some reason their braincells went on strike by Hauler
My cyac and Arachne are almost level 30 :)
isnt that like the second nucal contract too
No idea
it's pretty early
and nucal contracts straight up give you purple shields so bro is genuinely clueless for not doing them until 33
No it's Traxus
When you reach 20 nucal gives you purple
Oh wait
Yeah it's NuCal
Feel kinda bad to leave this crew I'm running with to duo in a trio lobby
speaking of duos i wonder how the duo queue is doing numbers wise
But my contract requires me to exfil and there's a sniper camping at my exfil, so I took my chance and bailed
i haven't touched it at all
Also, apparently body bag can also trigger exfil count down
One of my team was shot down within the circle and it still continues counting
got killed once right before it started
So I grappled into it at the last second
but i assumed that was a visual thing
Nope, it's legit
got shot in a rook run on a guarded exfil while cloaked and i panicked and sprinted and the uesc obliterated me lmao
some people are saying that's a bug
i'd get a 2nd st elmo and reroll that instead
Makes sense
but also bungie hasn't spoken about it yet so might be intended?
they're probably going to change it either way
strega isn't too bad of an exotic rifle though
Maybe once it stops dropping stregas
i got scared for a moment there
near mr krabs moment
Having to crack all 6 vaults to reach the Compiler is kinda nut btw
They really want the sweatiest of sweats
apparently it is intended and they are looking at it
well you don't have to do them all at once
But still, don't you need the gold keys in other maps?
it's meant to be a goal for the whole season
Well, I've come to term with the fact that I'll probably never get to touch that content
how i see it you'll spend your weekends using the loot and keys you built up over the week to attempt vaults
Same with the raids in [redacted]
and ultimately you fight the compiler probably once
Streamer game 
I mean it's not one run, I think if you have the subroutines you can skip the vaults
i think you can't even do them in one run
you have to go to the codex to even unlock vault 7
Yeah no true, you don't have enough batteries/cells/timen
like if you did all 6 for the first time in the same run you'd still have to exfil
but yeah that's not even possible most likely
The compiler has an exfil
i mean exfil to claim the codex entry
You also gotta get to level 5 as there is a second?? Loot room I think
that unlocks with batteries i think level 5 is needed to fight it in general
ain't no krabs on my watch
You want spoiler?
i know the first team to beat it didn't have enough batteries to get in there lmao
The world first team did come back and open that last room after the Compiler
They ran it back a second time and opened it
btw all the batteries and key items are very cod zombies like
With what clearance?
also on the whole thing of the compiler being an unattainable goal
cryo in general has a lot of good stuff even outside the vaults
just getting to level 4 gets you 40k credits for the whole team if you go to the bottom of the big hole
yeah there's a contraband valuable that gives 40k to everyone on exfil
No idea, I just know they did
You 2 gotta carry me through a Cryo run sometime 
near the panopticon i think?
I only care for the valuable that give lore entries tbh
idk i haven't been there
I care about killing people and looting
Also misraih is your friend
It's fucking amazing
Is it the other shotgun
Only got it once during the slam, which I swiftly lost the run afterward
yeah
fortnight
but yeah even on your weekly free kit you can get a lot of good stuff on this map
The blue kit?
yeah
i didn't exfil on my run with it but we all had it and we got pretty far
5 purple shields in my inven and like 8 purple packs

@empty estuary @blissful pagoda @balmy mason bruh this optimization surge event even applies to crafting optimization materials. you get double of whatever you would get before
Woah that's crazy. Would be huge if I was still playing 
guess this AK is a breath of fresh air
Ill probably take advantage of that to work on capping the different brands, theyre so slow to hit 10 proficiency
i've been playing div2 so much recently lmao
bought it to play with a friend like
2 weeks ago
Not like im ever gonna see 30 expertise for proto gear anyways though 
from what i saw the prototype gear is heavily RNG-dependant
And quite a bit stronger
I like cereal
yeah it is stronger, 50% more stats isn't something to sneeze at. but given the grind requirements, maybe people will be reasonable and don't gatekeep lol
CTL LAMP
Funny peely

Hello the 7

Hello the rice
Holy YAP
Runners, skin this uesc bot
🫡
instead of using hammers, nails, and drills, i just use wood glue to build stuff
silent builders wyd
Wood glue is best in slot but you'll run out eventually unless you have loot set way high
glue make no noise, hammer make many noise
glue works if you make stuff thats doesnt have to support anything
Hammer makes less noise than you'd think, but you should ideally have a fence to keep them out anyway
can't believe i already played this much lol. think i picked this up during forbidden game LF dlc
WHAT THE FUCK
@empty estuary damn the person has spoken
https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1rzz5jh/prototype_gear_in_its_pts_implementation_is_a/
"the chances of it rolling with anything usable abysmally small"
yeah... how do you think it worked pre optimization 
Yeah thats the thing. They want it back to that dark era for some reason
i mean... rng and grinding in a game based around rng and grinding... who would've thunk it
Ngl i want to be wrong but it seems like ubisoft might pivot to p2w, maybe they will sell recalibration methods for prototypes that are real cash only or something
i get that people have gotten used to/comfortable with recalibration, optimization, targeted loot etc etc but prototype gear seems like it'll only have relevance for the highest level of the game

For now. Yes. In the future? People with prototype gear 100% will cry about how nothing challenges them enough for them to test out the full potential of the gear
all being said i got bored of the repetitiveness of div 2
especially with the seasonal model
like unless its changed imma guess the current season is
do 4 objectives per week
weeks 3, 6 and 9 are targets with 9 being the big bad
This season is anniversary events only iirc
No story, just constant bonus events and exp
At least from what i saw
New hulk juggle tech mastered
Time to never use it in a game because hulk is still ass
Also figured out the spider man pull technique
This part is the relevant offending part
One attribute is guaranteed to be maxed at the new Prototype maximum value
The other attributes remain at their previous maximum values
There is a chance for additional attributes to also roll at the new Prototype maximum
Because of this, you may need to upgrade multiple versions of the same item to obtain the combination of attributes you want.```
Never gonna use that either because I suck with spider man
He feels a lot better, though.
HOLY FUCK WHAT A CLUTCH BRO, went in with such a cheap green kit
got out last minute
Or give us Kluh
Unironically just make him cc immune in his ult.
I'd rather take Kluh
I bullied a hulk in ult earlier with peni
that just sounds like them complaining about grinding in a grinding game 
Hit ult legit just turns him into a fat target.
He has the most fun ult in the game, that's probably why the dev team hates it so much
There's no dopamine rush like juggling the enemy tank off the map
Eh i dunno. Just because the main gameplay loop is grinding doesnt mean that there cant be too much grinding.
You gotta farm the item with the correct stats minus one, then fully optimize it, then fully expertise it (94 exotic components btw)
THEN you get a chance to see whether that was worth it by converting to prototype. Guaranteed 1 stat to new maximum, 3% chance for 2 stats to new maximum, 0.3% chancd for 3 stats to new maximum.
It's pointless grinding is the issue
You have the farm the same weapon over and over again to get the .1 upgrade
And thats only for one build lol.
Got the perfect prototype weapon for your strikers? Now do it again for your heartbreakers build since you need one with flatline
It's like of you wanted to farm a specific masterwork on a weapon, but also needed the right perk rolls
and then the perks aren't even guaranteed to be max stat
The only complaint is not being able to recalibrate or optimize
Otherwise prototypes are fine
I believe upgrading to prototype guarantees max stat for the stats that actually get upgraded
Its not like prototype drops which get random stat ranges from high end max to prototype max
Can't optimize as well..
Hello haste modifier but worse
The problem is the entire endgame is built on the principal of grinding for nothing more than tiny stat boosts that accumulate to make you stronger at a baseline
When it takes waaaaay more time to get to SHD 1000 and Expertise 30 than it does to formulate a build where your knowledge of the game and mastery matters, it feels like a timewaster
Id rather grind more for the loot itself than the stat bumps
Me trying to figure out what game this is
Clearly Solitaire
no it's definitely balatro
"man"
Yeah we just kept getting unlucky, either getting third partied right after we thrashed a team or they just spam nades from the heavens
It's not like I lost anything actually valuable, it's just that if I got out my vault would of had like 10 purple shields
no
Mind you the actual good stuff like my purple shotties and such are all safe and cosy in my vault
PEAK FINALLY
now you just gotta get to PL124 to fight the mythic storm king
and get the storm king weps
greetings
ive officially beat the main story
PEAK
stand fight lobby music
you have it now
its so peak
off to twine i go

Shed your skiiiiiinnn
HuH?
oo whats this?
crimson desert
ahh that looks intersting
What’s up with crimson desert constantly resetting all of my settings
what type of game is it?
idek how to describe it
Black desert but singleplayer
like a medieval fantasy rdr2 on steroids minus the good writing
ngl idek if i hv played black desert
is it a open world or lineaer?
open world
Gang
STILL SO CUTE
lobber shield
they only aim farther and higher
even if the objective is like 1 tile in front of them
two things come to mind
the builder banner icon
or just trying to get high builder score for research
thats true
probably reseaarch
cause for things people dont have
that research thing is gonna be a MAJOR help for new players come the free to play launch
lobber shield 😭
holy waste of mats
nothing attacks those atlas
IIRC... aren't the love lobbers already gone?
yea
yep, super absurd then for why they'll build such a large lobber shield
its a floating atlas
a lobber shield that big makes sense for frostnite cause of how long you'd be running
stuff doesnt attack that
but for regular missions thats like the biggest waste of mats
PPPPEAAAAAKKKK
average stonewood mission
