[rustic bough]

YES LETS GO

[earnest acorn]

Does anyone know if i have exotic talents from previous rotation,after new arena do i get exotic talents from present rotation?so far,i got only "stats upgrades" since loop 10...now 15

[stiff rain]

no, you don't get the new rotation

the run only cares about the rotation you started in

[earnest acorn]

So no more exotic talents despite the loops i do?ok,thx for answer

Unfortunatelly they didnt fix the visual bug (at least i hope is visual) of Adaptive Instincts exotic talent....taken as second exotic talent then i took the last talent,Bloodsucker so i dont have those octogones near the weapon when i aim so i dont know what buff i have :).....just shooting "in blind" to head and body hoping the buffs will be up 🙂

[knotty hawk]

Any advice on the fastest way to get nsa credits?

[rustic bough]

the fastest way to get a little NSA credits is by doing a lot of Nemesis runs
the fastest way to get a lot of NSA credits is by doing long runs (Loop 30+)

[earnest acorn]

It seems i still get exotic talents...ofc,from previous rotation

[stiff rain]

yes, that's what i said

[earnest acorn]

@stiff rain indeed,thx again

Pfffff...nice...again,like yesterday,thx Ubi/Massive for a beautiful crash.....better stop the maintanance cause you're waisting time...P

Yersterday i got crash at loop 17 now at 18...is an improvment of server stability i guess 😂 😂 😂

[viscid leaf]

Not a bug. When you pick up a talent that only shows on the side of the weapon, the game prioritizes the latest talent picked. So if you got Adaptive Instincts then Eyeless, the Adaptive icons will be replaced with the Eyeless icon. If you really want to see Adaptive stacks the whole time, gather every talent you want then choose Adaptive as the final one.

[nocturne hedge]

would be nice if they'd allow us to mark a talent as favorite so we could keep it tracked on the side of the weapon

[potent ridge]

Those who have maxed out their Sloth skillbuilds, how much dmg assault turret does per bullet ?

Is it even viable on loop 25+ ?

[stiff rain]

no

even on sloth you build weapon damage

don't be baited by the skill boosting talents, it's still one of the better weapon damage rotations

[potent ridge]

@stiff rainWhats the best talent pool in your opinion for pushing high loops ?

[stiff rain]

envy and wrath

both are strongest

sloth and greed also work and we also got to loop 40 with these, just avoid gluttony

[potent ridge]

Got to 52 with Wrath, need to test Envy next time, i feel like Envy has more potential on 40+

[stiff rain]

envy is just more comfy imo, i personally don't like it as much as wrath as there's not as much burst damage

[potent ridge]

Chatter + Bullethell cheese tho

[stiff rain]

yeah that's just convenience, with any of the intimidate rotations i can 3 tap rogues with m870

[young agate]

When I want to mess with a skill build during sloth I make an oxidizer build, supreme spawn lockdown

[deft kraken]

I recently completed a Loop 30 run during Wrath but only got the same weapons over and over again.
Is that normal or do we have weapon rotations now as well?

[rustic bough]

nope, RNG works in mysterious ways

[potent ridge]

But how deep into the loops it can carry tho ?

[light badge]

So I feel like descent enemies are tougher if you have 3- 4 players. Solo or 2, it's easier to clear loops early on

Is that the case?

[young agate]

I've never tried to push into higher loops with it, it was solid through 18 though

[young agate]

Yea you can feel the scaling for sure

[ashen bloom]

It's a fact, not a feeling.

[light badge]

So hard to get descent players. Is it because of the current rotation?

[light badge]

Any chance we get lfg channel dedicated for descent?

[jolly cave]

Not high, there's really not enough of a demand for it that you can't just use #lfg-pc

It's ultimately up to the Admins though.

[light badge]

I play this game exclusively for descent. Also little bit of hardcore mode

[light badge]

Yeah tried there. No luck

[jolly cave]

That's the extent of the places you can LFG for it on this server, but do make sure that you also try the community server (not on #ask-td2-community), can't hurt.

[trail crow]

What are your go to talent builds for envy and wrath?

[solid night]

Checkout @fast wing on YouTube

[light badge]

Has anyone here reached loop 40 on sloth?

[pine siren]

#td2-descent message

[young agate]

Crit mostly, surgical/strained/obliterate, trauma/eyeless when available

[autumn reef]

Any tips for first descent? I have a priority objective but I’m getting wrecked.

[autumn reef]

Do it in a group.

[autumn reef]

Ok thanks

[coral vault]

Did....did you just reply to yourself?

[stiff rain]

what

[coral vault]

I'm confused

[coral vault]

Don't get shot.

Keep HP above 0

[autumn reef]

That’s what I was doing wrong at first but now I don’t and it’s way better

[stiff rain]

yeah it was to the exchange above haha

er, "exchange"

[coral vault]

Think they forgot to take their meds today

[light badge]

What is the current rotation? Away from PC

[viscid leaf]

Gluttony.

[earnest acorn]

Thank to those who had the idea of rotating talents in Descent, the servers will be full of players😭 😭 😭

[dusk niche]

It's in a bad state, they couldn't even give us the two additional rotations to at least try something different than this

I had to quit a run because there was an invisible npc that I couldn't kill and didn't let me progress

Not going to complain much as I'm also not spending on cosmetics or passes

[rustic bough]

i know it's the 7 deadly sins, but who said we have to have all 7 rotations?

[dusk niche]

Kinda silly to name it after the 7 deadly sins and not have all 7 don't you think?

[stiff rain]

agree

[young agate]

Here's a thought activity, let's say Massive has tasked you with filling out the last two pools to complete the deadly sins, so you decide to make 1 the strongest pool possible, and the other one into the worst pool possible, what are your two new pools made up of? Is it even possible to make a pool worse than gluttony?

[stiff rain]

i think you can just leave out surgical from the pool and make it all crit damage based

easy worst pool

[viscid leaf]

Envy but with no Surgical or Agonizing Bite.

[stiff rain]

also make sure no intimidate

then we get 2 rotations that tilt us

[rustic bough]

Nope. We have 4 seasons but dont you think its silly that tropical places have Summer all year long?

[dusk niche]

I didn't realize Massive was forced to call their rotations after the deadly sins instead of something else

Rotations came iirc with project resolve so January 2024
It would be understandable not to get all 7 at once because issues comes along and such but it's been a year and a half

They've even neglected the catch up mechanism for descent comms

Descent's not a priority for them I get it, but I also feel it's the more promising game mode they came out with

[nocturne hedge]

Where did the "force" part come from

[red ledge]

I mean, since we are participating in seemingly endless AR (Augmented-Reality) simulation program where even the slightest mistakes can get you killed and you have to face off the Nemesis who can copy the skills and weapons we use, Descent could be considered as hell.

Hence the rotations are named in the seven deadly sins.

[light badge]

Yeah I'm done. Found a good squad, got to loop 25. Division network error. Got kicked out. I'm never seeing loop 40 am I?

[glossy sand]

I'm curious what's y'alls least favorite rotation?

mine has to be gluttony

[red ledge]

Gluttony is also my least favorite

[stiff rain]

i think most high loop runners hate gluttony

it's fine for nemesis runs but like it could be way better

[glossy sand]

Gluttony suffers from having exo talents that fundamentally contrast with how runs are typically played pre nemesis

[rustic bough]

Every rotation shines the same way pre-Nemesis

[earnest bough]

If I completed a loop and be in the big room and press the „Return to DC“ button. Do I loose all progress?

[pine siren]

Yes

[earnest bough]

Okay thanks

[bold finch]

Does anybody know the talent pool? Not near my console yet do can't check

[dusk niche]

Gluttony

Last day, will change in several hours

[delicate idol]

changes i think 1am uk time

[bold finch]

Ty

[reef crown]

is descent better solo or duo

[stiff rain]

4 man is most efficient for high loops, solo if nemesis

[reef crown]

what's the optimal way to farm descent?

[stiff rain]

reconstructed caches? the most optimal is 4 man loop 30 over and over

[reef crown]

damn
where can i find squads that want to do this?

[stiff rain]

lfg

[jolly cave]

@reef crown Specifically: #lfg-pc

[rugged scroll]

so if i buy extra weapon choice in one loop, i get 4 weapon choice in that loop and all loops going forward?

[stiff rain]

yes

[dusk niche]

New rotation is envy
So good enough to get this week's comms and the one on Tuesday

[red ledge]

As long it's not gluttony, it should be fine by me

[delicate idol]

@red ledge we just had that so it should not be

[light badge]

What's the current talent pool?

[sterile monolith]

Greed

[copper goblet]

Greed is in my opinion the best choice besides envy and wrath.

[light badge]

Even for higher loops?

[copper goblet]

What are you considering as higher loop?

[red ledge]

Probably those 40 loops runs

[light badge]

Never been able to reach 40😭 . I meant 25 and above

[deft kraken]

In Envy, would you rather go Incessant Chatter + Bullet Hell for insane RPM or Payment in Kind + Bullet Hell for crit damage?

[young agate]

Payment in kind + bullet hell, no reloads means no bleed

[viscid leaf]

Have all 3. Insane rpm means more bullets which means more opportunities for crits.

[delicate idol]

Any1 know talent pool? its sloth

[frigid pebble]

Capacitance, Disruptor Rounds, Busy Little Bee, Kinetic Momentum, Liberty or Death, Incessant Chatter, Allegro, Critical, Precise, Surgical, Companion, Composure, Gunslinger, Overwatch, Spark, Intimidate, Vigilance, Versatile, Insulated, Adrenaline Rush, Clutch, Efficient, Entrench, Leadership, Preservation, Protected Reload, Protector, Safeguard, Vanguard, Capacitive, Destructive, Empowered, Optimized, Surge, Spike, Energize, Tech Support, Skilled, In Sync

Im surprised there isnt a pinned list but i guess the mods' plans are beyond my understanding

[nocturne hedge]

When someone asks for the rotaion you usually answer just by the name of the rotation, not the entire list lol

[stiff rain]

^

[delicate idol]

maybe i should of said rotation lol

plus i answered my own question anyway

[frigid pebble]

I mean... their message implied they wanted the list... or at least read like thats what they meant

[nocturne hedge]

I can see how it might sound like that, but the answer is always the name lol

[bold finch]

So no descent for me for a couple days

[frigid pebble]

Is it a set rotation or random?

[stiff rain]

random

[nocturne hedge]

Random but iirc one rotation cannot be applied twice in a row

[frigid pebble]

🤔 okok interesting

[bold finch]

Talent pool is Envy

[delicate idol]

@bold finch nice

[red ledge]

Excellent

[nocturne hedge]

Awesome

[copper goblet]

Boring 🫠

[mighty tartan]

4 weeks left of torture

[red ledge]

Don't be so sure. We still got the next two seasons, and we'll probably get more comms up there

[nocturne hedge]

"im tired, boss"

[twin geyser]

It's truly bizarre that Comms is the only way they use to force us coming back (aside from farmed blueprints).
No development / no new things / no new rooms / no new loot pools. Literally nothing, but stupid comms(

[dusk niche]

Comms and arm patches
Don't forget the requirements for the season patch

[twin geyser]

Loop 8, right.
As one said "it requires skill to obtain", lmao

[dusk niche]

Ok they hid the collectables tab in the PTS so it's impossible to know if new comms are coming to descent

[twin geyser]

Bruh

[nocturne hedge]

they're learning

[potent ridge]

rng is major factor after 50. You can have all the dps and skill but if u get bad enemy spawn then u are dead. Sometimes division itself wants to kill you with bugs (enemies who shoot/spam skills through walls, invisible enemies etc).
But yeah, its way more efficient to aim high loops for NSA. Ideally on Envy or Wrath. Around loop 50 u get over 100 NSA for random boss room.

[stiff brook]

What is the max BP that you can have in the game right now ? I'm sitting at 567/572

[twin geyser]

Same. Seems like making things properly is impossible

[twin kraken]

Hey all, new here so ill begin my question.
Are they ever going to fix the difficulty level with Rogues after loop 25? Their skills are BRUITAL and the bombardier drone travels at mach 100. Also they through out skills immediately,1 after the other with no cool down.
My highest loop is 41 and that took 10hrs 37min and I look at the leader boards and they haven't fix it. The top 100 need to be really looked at. Heaps more questions to come.

[potent ridge]

imo rogue rooms are easier than hard rooms after loop 30. IF u have good dps.
They should make it even harder and multiply NSA by 3, so that "normal" human beings can also play it. 10+hr runs aint normal....

[twin kraken]

It's just the Rogue Skills man. Their pretty brutal and keep throwing em out.
Yeah loop 30+ gets harder for sure.
As for NSA I'm sitting on about 10thou and full of resources and only missing 6 blueprints.
Can I upload a screenshot of loop 41 here?

[potent ridge]

Gluttony 😢

[ashen bloom]

Somebody wake me up when we get greed 🛌

[raven quest]

can matador appear in descent?

[primal obsidian]

You can get the matador blueprint in descent from the reconstructed caches. It might take a bit of caches, as the blueprint loot pool is quite large.

[red ledge]

Pretty handy since it takes a long time to grind for Matador in DZ

[jolly cave]

Alternatively: farm out Named Caches whilst Golden Bullet is active.
I guess the BP is nice for the long term though.

[potent ridge]

Greed

[graceful bane]

Golden bullet works in descent?

[nocturne hedge]

No, none of the GEs and seasonal modifiers work there

[dusk niche]

You can still earn ge stars in descent though

[graceful bane]

[twin geyser]

we're at 101/105 now, right?

[red ledge]

Yes. 102 tomorrow

[crimson veldt]

Gold bullet doesn’t work in descent however if u have it activated the levels u gain while in descent will give u stars & rank gold bullet

[crimson veldt]

My fault didn’t see ur post

When I first started Descent Wrath & Envy were the loadouts I looked forward now it’s just the opposite Greed Sloth & Gluttony are the ones I like best because of the damage just think with Busy & Gunslinger tier 10 from Sloth is 350% damage on weapon swap which is insane not even factoring in other talents have video hitting rogue agent for 34k

[red ledge]

I did enjoy Envy at first, but I've started to dislike it given the red talents synergy are just meh...

[potent ridge]

Although Envy is easiest to reach high loops with. By high loops i mean 25+

[crimson veldt]

I think wrath is easier due to having bloodsucker for me anyway, getting that instant armor repair is really good

Is the rotation random or is it set because I have saw all rotations x2 since we got wrath last

On ps5 anyway

[young agate]

Yea it's random

[tacit lion]

Is there a youtube video or wiki or something with all the Descent collectibles?

[red ledge]

https://thedivision.fandom.com/wiki/Comms#Descent

If you want the videos:
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpoqP0RYiIazV7h8XnKTl1mMjwsD1WVtS

[grave pewter]

are cleaner just a run killer on descent or something. I keep dying to them on the first loop

[pine siren]

it's always cleaners on the first loop (at least solo)

just don't die to them

[red ledge]

Hyenas are the real run killers.

Those dudes are on ultra turbo

[dusk niche]

Sloth is the current rotation
💀

[nocturne hedge]

For some reason it feels like they deal 10x the damage other factions deal ://
Specially on loop 4

[potent ridge]

Loop 4 has killed more agents than any other loops for sure 😂

[twin geyser]

We're one comm behind by the end of the season?
I'm at 102/105 and we have only two weeks until Y7S2 starts

[red ledge]

Guessing we get 105 in the first week of Y7S2

[red ledge]

Wrong channel.

And ACS-12 with Brazen

[tacit lion]

Thanks! Try as I might, I can't get into this mode... not even for the collectibles.

[primal obsidian]

The blueprints are worth getting. The problem is getting the comms. The way they are released, starting to get them now won't allow you to catch up at all

[potent ridge]

Greed....AGAIN....ffs

[red ledge]

Better than Envy.

[pine siren]

@latent yarrow #lfg-playstation would be the place to ask, this is just the discussion channel

[latent yarrow]

Oh sorry

[graceful bane]

Sometimes I really wonder why they haven't done any quality of life updates to Descent given that they're still adding new comms to collect

[twin geyser]

#freegamemode

[dusk niche]

It's not a priority and is abandonware for the moment

[jolly cave]

That's not what abandonware means.

[stiff rain]

never forget

[potent ridge]

Better for what ?

[red ledge]

In terms of red talents synergy, IMO.

[potent ridge]

How far have u got with Greed ? And what talents, weapons, skills and tactics u use ? For me, its literally the worst pool, there is literally no dps. Breathe free with LMG does good dps until it falls of, which it does sooner or later. With Envy and Wrath its easy to get to 40.

[stable schooner]

Help I seem to be crap at descent. If I find an easy room i can usually finish one room, but i always die in minutes on Medium and seconds on Hard. I've started to drop assignment to descent rather than try to complete a single loop. Any advice?

[twin kraken]

Just take ur time mate and use cover plus cover to cover moves. Also look at the "random rolls" and see what Talents u wanna use and to look out for.
If u need help mate u can ad me and ill gladly run u through it all co op.
NATAS LIVE
Im on Xbox too by the way.

[potent ridge]

Envy

[analog junco]

being aggressive is the way for me personally especially early on

starting with shotguns is very helpful for that

[red ledge]

Also, Hyenas are very deadly for some reason. So positioning and taking cover is extremely important.

[ashen bloom]

I think the loop 1 should be ambushers or rioters instead of cleaners. I mean if you follow the logic that the black tusk appears only after loop 12. I think it should be the less powerful factions first.

[jolly cave]

I am more than happy for them to keep one of the factions with explody flame tanks as the starters, in fact I would love if it was just all cleaners.

[graceful bane]

Cleaners can be annoying if you don't know how to deal with them. Mostly comes down to weakpoints. Hit the grunts in the tank, grenadiers in their hip pouch, drone operators in the back before they deploy their drone but if not, wait for them to refill it and hit the glowy spot on the drone and it'll dump that crap all over him. With the shield boys, shoot them in the feet to make them stumble, it opens them up wide for follow up shots.

[jolly cave]

I will say, if you haven't figured out "shoot the red thing" by the time you are old enough to play div2, that is a very specific journey you've been on.

[pine siren]

I find the cleaners in loop one very amenable to just running and gunning, pushing up and headshotting them with the pistol. If you try to play cautiously from cover then you'll struggle.

[jolly cave]

That is how I've sped through the first 4 loops the fastest for sure.
Just ignoring whatever other guns I get unless I need them for the boss, and getting my Mozam on with the pistol.

[pine siren]

@broken aurora #lfg-playstation is the spot for grouping, this channel is for discussions

[broken aurora]

Ok thanks

[twin geyser]

we're getting 103-rd comm this week, right?

[red ledge]

We got it since Tuesday. Next one is the 104th

[potent ridge]

Greed...again.

[jolly cave]

@ionic plover You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[dusk niche]

And now it's envy

[deft kraken]

It has been 84 years since Wrath

[potent ridge]

weeks 😄

Envy is fun tho, enjoy while u can.

[nocturne hedge]

Comm 104 came out today. Just one more left 🙌

[potent ridge]

Someone else has crash problem while playing Descent for few hrs ?
Happens only in Descent...so annoying...crashed on loop 32 this time around 😄

[viscid leaf]

I think last season or the season before they removed Envy from the rotation. They had to patch it back in. Maybe someday Gluttony can be bugged the same way.

[jolly cave]

@viscid leaf It's random, that can mean something coming back can be lengthy.
There's no indication that any rotation was "removed", AFAIK. I'd love a source on that.

[mighty tartan]

Nice, first time getting 3 exotic talents before reaching Nemesis

Plague,Bullet,Liberty killed Nemesis in a few seconds

[tacit lion]

what weapons did you have?

[dusk niche]

And it's 🦥

[shy flare]

😩

[pine siren]

#lfg-playstation would be the channel you want

[compact jewel]

what does pulse give nemesis

[young agate]

I've not seen nemesis with pulse, if you take pulse it will give nemesis a random skill it can have

[dusk niche]

A random skill

[mossy birch]

how to kill nemezida

i spend 1 hour just to die at the end

wtf

is it better to go there solo or what

[stiff rain]

solo is easier than a random 4 man that doesn't work together

[mossy birch]

How am i suppose to get all 105 comms if ive never been there lol.

[pine siren]

They did a catch up season last season where you could get them all from one nemesis run a week, hopefully they'll do another at some point in the future

[glossy sand]

Have efficiency to at least level 3 and at least 3 armor kits and kite them a lot with high hsd or crit stats

[twilit whale]

lemme grab that oxi next time you carry me

[brisk pewter]

What is this game mode?

[jolly cave]

@brisk pewter Rogue-lite, ya know, die and you restart from scratch, but you can build up certain permanent bonuses over time.
Think Dead Cells, Hades, stuff like that.

[brisk pewter]

Ahhhhhhh okay yea not for my skill base lol

[jolly cave]

Just to clarify: you do go in there with nothing, and the enemies can be an appropriate level.
The rewards are pretty great, you can buy caches that reward named item blueprints that don't exist elsewhere.

I'd recommend giving it an honest go. It's not for everyone though.

[red ledge]

IIRC, back in Y6S3, the catch up mechanic for the comms was basically 7 comms per week after doing the weekly project.

[torn basin]

How do you kill a nemesis that heals to full with one shot of the chem launcher? Real question.

[twilit whale]

Nemesis healing is not unlimited

[dusk niche]

Don't take healer chem as a skill
Foam, oxi and fire he'll copy

[torn basin]

Understood, again, what's the strategy to kill? I don't take the healer chem. My understanding is that he can choose from the options that I had.

[viscid leaf]

There are certain skills he can't copy so he'll pick up a random skill (pulse, sometimes decoy, etc.). Take higher ground than him so he doesn't shoot you from cover. Status effects are the King of Descent so foam, burn, and blind work very well against him. High Velocity bullets can also stun him out of healing chem.

[twilit whale]

Empty skill slot also makes him get a random skill

[dusk niche]

Gluttony for the new season 🙃

[nocturne hedge]

Hopefully they dont add any new comms

[red ledge]

Pls add new comms

[jolly cave]

@meager bison You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[dusk niche]

If there's no catch up system I honestly hope there's no new comms
105 comms with no way of obtaining them is rather silly
Nothing in the patch notes suggests there's any change to descent

[candid oasis]

I think PTS ~3 months ago had 109 comms in it so I would expect some new comms lol

[red ledge]

Yeah, and we still don't have the 105th comm to unlock til tomorrow

[young agate]

If they changed it to give a comm for every nemesis defeat that would be acceptable too

[meager bison]

Me one more left now 104 will tomorrow 105

[opal owl]

still need 15 coms. I hope this only one per nemesis system will be changed sometimes

[gentle briar]

descent still at 105 comms

[deft kraken]

are there new descent blueprints?

[red ledge]

Yeah, that was kinda the same with Y6S3, so I expect they'll add more comms next season, while this season is basically the catch up.

[mossy birch]

I have 0/105 so I’m happy lol

[nocturne hedge]

No new comms thankfully

[red ledge]

Man, you guys are no fun /lh

[nocturne hedge]

We can now craft reconstructed caches at the cost of 7 broken watches earned from retaliation

[pine siren]

Ooh, nice

[dusk niche]

25 faction materials though

[compact jewel]

Nothing for those of us who stacked a ton of mats lol

[dusk niche]

No it's retaliation specific materials

[twin geyser]

Thanks God

Any new descent blueprints?

[red ledge]

Well, nobody said that crafting those reconstructed caches was gonna be an easy picnic.

[twin geyser]

Laughs in 75k ANB tech credits

[compact jewel]

Ahhh gotcha

[young agate]

Looks like the new named items are available now in the reconstructed caches, was sitting on one from last week and got the Achilles blueprint

[stiff rain]

achilles?

i may be forgetful but that only refers to the pulse variant

[dusk niche]

New named rifle

[stiff rain]

okay yeah i'm stupid

[candid oasis]

Yeah I got Cap'n, Spot-On, Instigator, Sleight, Cloak, and Achilles blueprints from reconstructed caches. Looks like that's all the new ones that were added as I'm not getting anymore after those.

[nocturne hedge]

Well god damn it

Im getting close to the character limit on the pinned message 🙂

[jolly cave]

We can have 1 for guns, and 1 for Gear. If needed.

[dusk niche]

Any word on season arm patches?

[quartz zodiac]

Can someone verify we get our 105/105 comms from this week's project?

Just in case I don't have to waste my time

[nocturne hedge]

Yes i got mine a few hours ago

[red ledge]

Yes, this week you get the 105th comm. And since there's not new comms this season, I expect the weekly project comm rewards to be a catch-up.

[nocturne hedge]

You mean there's not new comms, right?

[red ledge]

Yeah.

[twin geyser]

The day the stop putting loop 40 patches will be considered real blessing for me 🥲

[red ledge]

For anyone who has the 105th comm, would you be willing and record a video of the comm, and share it to me on DM? Need it for wiki stuff

[mighty tartan]

finally, Iam free of the Descent

105th com down from this hell, now onto Retaliation heaven

[nocturne hedge]

They might add more next season so enjoy it while it lasts lol

I still gotta farm some more rec caches. Don't want to spend retal mats on it

[jolly cave]

I've gotta ask: what Exotic are you having that much trouble with?

[nocturne hedge]

Just farming blueprints for my collection lol

[dusk niche]

Rotation is envy so good for arm patch runs

[glossy sand]

Bullet hell vector does numbers

[dusk niche]

105th comm secured ✅
Season arm patch ✅

Now an extended vacation from descent
Good riddance 👋

[stiff rain]

waiting for a break to get loop 40

[crude silo]

It's weird no new comms for descent this season

[red ledge]

Not the first time. We didn't get any new comms back in Y6S3.

Expect Y7S3 to have new Descent comms

[crude silo]

Oh yeah true

[pine siren]

@meager bison the place to ask is #lfg-playstation

[nocturne hedge]

So how many blueprints do we got now?

[young agate]

It's complicated with all the exotic blueprints added in

[stiff rain]

this is descent chat

[trail crow]

Sorry

[viscid leaf]

Make sure to complete the easy Journey missions so you don't complete them in Descent. The xp gains (and possibly season xp) go to your current Descent character and not your actual one with the shd watch.

[nocturne hedge]

Does anybody have the list of items added not in the latest update, but the one before?

[nocturne hedge]

Max blueprint count is now 639,
This includes the 55 exotic blueprints as well

Scratch that, its wrong

[jolly cave]

I'm on 644.

and whatever 5/6 means.

[nocturne hedge]

Pinned list has been updated

[nocturne hedge]

Those are for the project-based exotics iirc

But it could be wrong

4 weapons, 1 holster and 1 chest

[nocturne hedge]

Not sure what else im missing. My last reconstructed cache didn't give me anything

Ohhhh shiit

Its the journey stuff

[jolly cave]

That tracks.

[pine siren]

Reconstructed cache blueprints as of Y7S2, courtesy of @nocturne hedge

[nocturne hedge]

The original list was nearing it's chatacter limit so i made this

[fluid sparrow]

also atleast imo a bit easier to read being a list like it is instead of being limited by discord

[nocturne hedge]

That too yeah

[humble halo]

Lol

[viscid leaf]

I believe the max count now should be 640/644. This includes all new blueprints from reconstructed caches, exotic materials and items from Retaliation, and new brand and gear set. Now we are missing 1 chest piece, 2 backpacks, and an AR.

[nocturne hedge]

That's my number as well but Rivens said they have 644

[viscid leaf]

That's the total amount at the bench, not the maximum amount players can get. It was the same as last season, although I thought we were missing 5 blueprints instead of 4.

[nocturne hedge]

Ah right. In that case yeah. I thought rivens actually had 644 blueprints so i was confused

Yeah im at 640 too

[nocturne hedge]

Use LFG channels

[twin geyser]

Do we have new seasonal descent arm patches? Loop 40, Loop 8 Nemesis Kill

[dusk niche]

@twin geyser yes at least the season patch
No reason to think there isn't tier patches

[crude silo]

Yup

Always

[red ledge]

Yep, this season is the catch-up, so this week's Descent project drops 5 comms

[young agate]

Suppose it's another situation where it only offers a specific set of comms? I didn't go after 105 last week and now I'm afraid I'll only have a specific week go get it

[dusk niche]

That seems to be the mechanic
Missing x comms gotta play a certain week

[opal owl]

That was the case before those 15 new coms, guess tey returned to that system now

[dusk niche]

Sloth for the next 3 days🤮

[stiff brook]

The devs should code the number of the weekly coms you get as a reward in the project description. It will help those missing comms knwo when to farm for certain ones.

[twin geyser]

One of my mates didn't play the first week of the season, so he skipped 105-th comm 💀

[nocturne hedge]

Rip

Lol. One of the 3 suggested words my phone displays when i type the letter R is Reconstructed

Is that how much I've typed reconstructed caches lol

[red ledge]

Yep xD

[trail crow]

So does it still give multiple comms if you are missing several?

[young agate]

If you are missing any of the 5 that are being offered, you will get all the ones you are missing

[dusk niche]

Rotation is wrath and this week's comms are
New pitch
Updates
Contracts
Mobile prototype
Ordered

[red ledge]

Ah, so the first 5 comms.

[pine siren]

Odd that it's only 5 comms per week when it was 7 last catch up season and we have even more comms to collect now. Maybe they're planning 2 seasons of catch up.

[nocturne hedge]

Oh hell yeah

[red ledge]

That's a likely possibility.

No new Descent comms till Year 8

[opal owl]

Hope so, finally time to catch up

[dusk niche]

Even if that's the case, it's still rather diabolical that you have to play descent EVERY week for 7-8 months to catch up with the comms

Edit: probably around 5 months tbf but the point still stands
Just give 5 comms per nemesis clear

[opal owl]

I am down to 9 comms now, after more that a year, I think. As Descent was released I never was able to beat the nemesis until they changed its behaviour. I just hope to be done with those comms by the end of the year

[crude silo]

Hopefully

I got every last comm since it came out

[red ledge]

I wouldn't mind a series of Descent comms focusing on the other states and how they're holding up now that we're almost a year after the outbreak (in-game wise)

[dusty hawk]

@nocturne hedge thanks for making that list of named blueprints

[gentle briar]

it'd be great if it was earliest of what you don't have to latest instead of just throwing everything at the wall

honestly super surprised they didn't change it at all

[dusty hawk]

so concerning that number of blueprints bit. i see 644, will we be missing 5 even if we gotten everything?

[errant apex]

We'll be missing four, since the total available blueprint count is 640.

[dusty hawk]

so that 644 is lying to us?

[errant apex]

Kind of...

It should actually show 650 as the maximum number. If you add up every number in each category, you'll get 650. I guess SHD Watches just don't count toward the total BP counter.

137 + 53 + 68 + 56 + 86 + 68 + 54 + 52 + 55 + 21 = 650

[twin geyser]

Maths is not mathing?

[nocturne hedge]

Yeah the max blueprint count has always been a lie 🙄

Its never what the game says lol

[fresh flicker]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/1nfaaro/the_division_2_complete_blueprint_list_y7s2tu25/ regarding blueprints

[solemn fog]

Hey
Any idea which comms for this week?

[dusk niche]

Should be comms 6-10 as last week was 1-5

[dusk niche]

Security
ISAC
Alert
New tech

Yes only four comms

[nocturne hedge]

huh

[solemn fog]

Thank You🙏

[dusk niche]

What I said only 4 comms were granted this week

[potent ridge]

GREED

[nocturne hedge]

I meant as in oh shit

[trail crow]

The tech overdrive event works for descent?

Is it worth changing skills up from reviver and emp?

[stiff rain]

yes

[stiff rain]

up to you, i would still keep reviver

[dusk niche]

Yeah for whatever reason it was 4
If it continues to be 4 per week there will definitely not be any new comms anytime soon

[nocturne hedge]

Good enough for me lol

[twin geyser]

I'm all for it

[dusk niche]

Yep, can't blame anyone given how bad the comm system has been for 2+ years

[red ledge]

This season is pretty much a catch-up, so no new comms

[red ledge]

Honestly, without new comms, I got no reason to play the mode atm.

So I hope there's new ones in next season

[placid halo]

Tech overdrive is working in descent it seems.

[twin geyser]

Loop 40?

[red ledge]

I'm too shit to do it solo, tbh.

[twin geyser]

Me too, waiting for my buddies next weekend (or the next one)

[dusk niche]

We literally had sloth 3 days ago and it's sloth again 💀

[nocturne hedge]

Wait so it can actually be the same rotation in a row?

[dusk niche]

No it was sloth then gluttony and now sloth again
Diabolical RNG

[nocturne hedge]

Ah

[ashen bloom]

Is it normal to get to level 2 inside descent?
(For context: descent basically uses a disposable level 1 agent that only can get stronger with perks and talents, but a weird thing happened, I got some season exp and the game just gave my descent character 2 SHD tech and a blue and green cache. And I was like: what??)

[potent ridge]

It can

[red ledge]

Yeah, it happens at times.

I completed some Journey objectives while I was in Descent, and I leveled up to 2.

[dusk niche]

Having done campaigns in hardcore I can guarantee you it's not level 1
Around the level 7 to 10 region based on the damage you do

You're definitely not l1 like in the campaign

[harsh nova]

Is it true that if we start as 4 players in Descent and the others leave right away, I can still get Perfect Flawless?

[red ledge]

Wrong channel, buddy. #lfg-pc

[nocturne hedge]

I've heard its true

[viscid leaf]

There are other factors that must be met but the word around the block says yes.

[viscid leaf]

Definitely at level 10. On PSN when looking at friends who are in Descent, it shows "Level 10 in Agent Menu". When they complete a Journey mission in Descent and level up, that level stated also goes up. Lowest I've seen is 11 and highest is 14.

[dusk niche]

Yeah that makes sense

It was definitely in that region just by memory

[harsh nova]

Any idea which comms for this week ?

[dusk niche]

No one's played, rotation is still sloth

[errant apex]

Comms 10–13: Walking, New AI, Collaboration and Integration.

[errant apex]

Did a quick Nemesis run on Tuesday regardless. 😂

[dusk niche]

Well rotation is wrath so descent is back on the table ✅

[dusk niche]

helps a friend get to loop 8 for the patch
Deltas the boss room before nemesis
Loses all progress
Yeah RIP descent you've gone the path of Kenly Colege

[young agate]

RIP that loop 8 patch

[dusk niche]

Yeah already got it this season was helping someone get it

But after that I'm not trying again

[earnest acorn]

Being disconnected at loop 26 made me very happy🤬 🤬 🤬 ....thank you Ubisoft/Masive for taking care of players and protect them from being angry and frustrated because of waisting their time for nothing......i wish you all who manage this game to feel all the time like i feel now.....happy,ofc💩

[jolly cave]

@mild cobalt You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[nocturne hedge]

Let it all out man

Welcome to the club

[earnest acorn]

Rotation is Greed......smart guy/guys implemented these rotations maybe because too many players were playing the Descent and ,maybe,servers were full of ppl......I dont know,i cant think at anything else......Wasnt the purpose to have fun and let ppl choose what talents want/need?to have fun?to reroll until their/ours fingers bleed on keyboard until we get the favorite rotation/talents?It is better now that the servers are empty?i am sorry,i cant understand this management of this game/mode....another 2 1/2 days of empty Descent server...awesome 🙂

[pine siren]

They implemented the rotations, at least in part, because many people complained that the talent pools were too dilute and they struggled to stack useful talents.
Somehow I suspect 'too many players' has never been an issue with descent.

[dusk niche]

Talent rotations were never the ideal solution and when they were introduced there was overwhelming negative feedback.

They stuck with it and it's been like this ever since

I doubt they'll ever touch descent and introduce those better alternatives to what we have now

[earnest acorn]

@pine siren,thank you for that reply,but,in my opinion ,after all the comments i saw on different sites,people are complaining about the rotations and not the Descent pool like it was before

Maybe the game need the people from RedStorm to fix it...like they did in Div 1,patch 1.8 🙂

Veterans of this game may remember

[pine siren]

Oh I'm not saying rotations are the ideal solution, just one of the reasons as to why they were introduced.

There are a lot of options for how it could be adjusted, with various upsides and downsides, but getting the devs to spend their limited time on that instead of the rest of the game is another matter entirely

[earnest acorn]

@pine siren,i am sorry if i wwas missunderstood....i didnt say that you are claiming the rotations are ideal...i was saying that ppl complaining more now regarding the rotations like before 🙂

[pine siren]

Eg you could start with a complete pool of all the talents then pay nsa credits to remove a limited number, to let you build your own pool

[earnest acorn]

I know the way it was before and it was fine...in my opinion,ofc

[dusk niche]

They could've just scaled the talent reroll costs to the loop you're in, with all talents in the pool
A reroll costing the same at loop 1 and loop 20 is nonsensical
I don't think this requires a major rework of descent it's just priorities

[twin geyser]

Today I decided to give up loop 40 timewaste

[twilit whale]

And how does that make you feel?

[twin geyser]

Free

[stiff rain]

just like the game mode

[twin geyser]

😂

[inland scarab]

I met with Wally (not at the WH, as it turns out) at the Castle. Told me to do the Descent, so I go to the door. It's not allowing me in. How do I get in?

never mind, just had to quit game and relog in

[deft kraken]

A friend of mine has a small problem with the Descent entrance.
He can start Descent but not fast travel to it (as the icon doesn't appear on the map). Talking to the person in Castle Settlement also doesn't do anything.

[young agate]

Fast traveling to the descent door in Castle has always just sent me to the regular Castle fast travel point

[dusk niche]

The wh descent entrance has been bugged for a while now for new players
It's either the castle entrance or the map icon

[deft kraken]

ohhh. didn't know that. unfortunate

[harsh nova]

Any idea which Descent comms for this week?

[opal owl]

The last two times I simply got the ones I missed, not a specific number. Guess they gave up on that system.

[errant apex]

The next four comms, 14–17: Warning, ANNA Second Test, Relocation, Use Case.

[red ledge]

So, next week should be 18-21

[errant apex]

The weekly reset was on Tuesday, so it is this week already: Mobile Notes, Trap, Deployed, Release.

[red ledge]

Right

[lusty escarp]

What is Descent comms?

[red ledge]

???

You're joking. Please tell me you're joking

[lusty escarp]

So... it's audio logs?

For the whole time I spent in Descent I got a playback audio log only once (and I played dozens of runs).

[viscid leaf]

You only get one per week unless you missed some and the weekly project offer multiple comms.

[lusty escarp]

I dunno, but only once I heard a conversation after finishing Descent.

[wraith mountain]

You only get predetermined set of comms now each week (with no way to know which ones they're giving) and no longer get even a single new comm in case comms they give are already unlocked. They've tried to improve the drops, but made it a lot worse.

[red ledge]

At least there are some people writing the list of those predetermined comms every week

[wraith mountain]

Is there some schedule given for future comms or some random guy logs in and manually checks after completion.

[lusty escarp]

And those comms are just collectibles (+ lore), nothing more...

It's funny to me, that I play that game mode just for fun, almost being addicted to it, while most other people want some kind of rewards, even if just a collectible.

[rustic bough]

Well, some people are more lore-oriented

[red ledge]

IIRC, they follow in the order they were first released.

[wraith mountain]

It's only fun first few runs. Doesn't help that it's riddled with bugs either. When you get several runs break past loop 30, it leaves bad taste fast.

At least they would remove or rework talent pools and add checkpoints to continue later.

[lusty escarp]

It's true there are a lot of bugs and bad design choices, but somehow I still have fun playing it. Maybe because I didn't reach as high as 30 so far. My best run is 24, but I guess it would be higher if more people stayed after killing Nemesis and I don't want to play alone or with just 1 other player.

[dusk niche]

Technically neither

[wraith mountain]

So it goes in order?

[dusk niche]

Right now yeah it's going in order of release, 4 per week

105/4= 26 weeks of this
Would be silly to cut it in half but who knows
And this is just a catch up

[wraith mountain]

Damn, imagine being a guy who needs 1 last comm and it rolled out couple weeks ago.

[dusk niche]

Yeah or a new player who needs to play descent 27 weeks in a row to get all comms

[solemn fog]

That's me

[wraith mountain]

Good luck next year I guess.

[rocky bison]

any new blueprints ?

[cold heart]

Ima be real with yall ive never touched descent, what does it offer?

[opal owl]

Pain, suffering, and coms with more or less interesting pieces of Lore

[pine siren]

Also reconstructed caches for named items (only otherwise available from retaliation material crafting)

[opal owl]

Yeah. Oh,and don't forget that you play "naked", no skills, no gear, no special weapons

[dusk niche]

Arm patches are also nice

[red ledge]

You say less interesting, I say more interesting.

Especially when this week's Manhunt comm made a callback to the Warhound movement experiments from Descent comms 😄

[crude silo]

Oh heck no

[crude silo]

Me me

[crude silo]

Me expecting to see the last comms of this season until they add 10 or 7 new ones this week

[red ledge]

They only added 1 new comm in the first week of this season. And the rest of the week are catch-ups

[crude silo]

Next season we will probably see comms being added mutiny is a story that we need to know how it happen

[red ledge]

I would like if next season's Descent comms delve into how the other states are holding up months after the outbreak.

[opal owl]

Would be interesting to hear more about how the country or even the world looks after the outbreak, yes

[errant apex]

Comms 22–25 this week: Field Test, Automation, Firebrand Notes, ANNA.

[earnest cove]

Is descent honestly worth it? It seems like such a grind.

[rustic bough]

It used to be a grind for good reason - Descent was the only way to get Reconstructed Caches. Apart from the outfits, if you're not into that, there's no real point grinding anymore. Reconstructed caches can now be crafted.

[earnest cove]

👀 how

Sorry I’m like completely new to the entire game mode even though I’ve basically played the game since like the first year of it being out 😭

[earnest acorn]

Someone send a message to the electrician or mason man who manage the damn descent server and tell him to push the switch of dropping exotic talent...reaching loop 11 and still got only the 1st one 😂

[red ledge]

Given tomorrow is Tuesday, I assume it'll be comms 26-29?

[bold finch]

Not near my console rn does anybody know what talent it is n for how long ty

[steady rune]

It’s Greed.

[bold finch]

Ty

[rain radish]

i guess 1 to 26 is no longer available?

[tranquil marsh]

The Descent needs serious servicing, the talents are bugging out like rifleman and breadbasket. The game mode hasn't been updated with new talents and and weapons in years and is the only game mode myself and co like to play is there a Dev that can take up the challenge to help us out?

[dusk niche]

For now no, at best in 5 months time

[rain radish]

sad

i also don't understand why nemesis is so hard to do also

[dusk niche]

It's basically a hunter, that copies your weapons and in most cases your skills. Gotta stay mostly in cover

[rain radish]

yeah times 3 when you are with more people xD

[dusk niche]

💀
Hope it wasn't randoms 😅
Or at least they know what skills NOT to bring to nemesis

[pine siren]

Nemesis is generally easier solo I think. You just have to learn when it's safe to shoot and when to stay in cover, what skills are safe to use, and try to get some fire ammo on your pistol to open more damage windows

[viscid leaf]

5 months is quite generous. I would've gone with 8 months and it'll be an update that crashes your game after loop 39.

[red ledge]

Okay, how about this. You can collect a few comms every loop, but you have to do Nemesis for new comms.

[errant apex]

Yeah. Comms 26–29 this week: Testing, Assessment, Priority, Hindsight.

[crude silo]

Yup true right here I killed nemesis solo then groups why cause groups in descent makes one mistake

[unkempt glacier]

Hi gys i need long run descent

[pine siren]

If you pick your platform up in the Channels and Roles page you'll be able to see the lfg channels, that's the place to ask

[untold surge]

Suggestions:
1)Able to pick which talent pool you want before you enter descent
2)Talent pool rotation 6h~1day
3) Impossible suggestion able to pick from every talent there is in descent (to much hard work for devs!)

[dusk niche]

It's not hard work, it's not a priority
Two different things

[viscid leaf]

What's the reward cap in Descent? Is it after loop 30 that you do not get any more caches? And does that apply to xp gains as well?

[stiff rain]

loop 30 is when the drop chances for recon caches stop at least. you probably know the table devs posted that has the rewards per loop. but xp gains don't stop at 30

[viscid leaf]

Got it. I assume no one knows how the xp gain functions from Descent for normal and season xp. Is it based on kills or loops or rooms or types of rooms or something else?

[rustic bough]

it's based on loops completed.

[viscid leaf]

Nice. Thanks for the info.

[crude silo]

And if you played during double xp you get a lot of loot same with global events

[errant apex]

If anyone's wondering, this week's comms are 30–33: Version 2, Question, Backup, Secure.

[ashen bloom]

So technically a hard and few medium run (let's say 10 loops) is the same as easy and a few medium?

Like, despite more coins, the hard rooms don't give more XP?

[stiff rain]

yes

[ashen bloom]

Well, I guess I will go only easy then
Because you are already rich in any difficult room after a couple of loops.

[stiff rain]

i mean once you go high enough 2 things will happen

1. from loop 10 onwards (but realistically consider from 25+) rogues can spawn which are massively faster than clearing 3 waves
2. there will be hard rooms only from 25+

[ashen bloom]

I mean, my PlayStation will probably crash before 25 so I am not worried about that

[stiff rain]

then you won't get that much xp anyway 💀

[ashen bloom]

Blame Sony

[twilit whale]

you can only get rogues in hard rooms

[dense ember]

ah I just got 4 exo talents in a row, is this normal? RNG?

[twilit whale]

yup RNG

[deep drift]

Sup guys, do u have any info about comms of this week?

[errant apex]

Comms 34–37: Upgrades, Firebrand Prototype, Concept, Training.

[deep drift]

Thanks a lot

[grim swift]

I dont think you play roguelikes

how to make decent better: stop making it like rogue likes

[jolly cave]

Descent is very much a rogue-lite, not a rogue-like, as you actually are able to build up some stats over time.

A small but significant distinction.

[untold surge]

i don't think you did reach loop 60 and how hard is it without some talents which are never in the same talent pool anymore because of talent pool system
i did play Lucky Tower Ultimate and have it 100% achievements
Descent is a roguelite mode ! no need to have save loops, that is summit !

[grim swift]

neat? bro I dont play decent cuz I hate it. what a weird ping. its a rogue like. if you want it to not be random, thats not roguelike

its not deep. dont pull me in or ask me to prove anything about decent. rogue likes suck in my opinion. retal reconstructed crate was a life saver. here ends my ted talk

[untold surge]

are u looking for attention?

u wasted your time with these comments !

[grim swift]

you need some kool aid bro. take care. gonna block you, cuz you feel super toxic and I dislike the pinging

[jolly cave]

Okay everyone take a lap.

[tulip pine]

havent heard that since i played football in highschool before i nearly tore my acl

[grim swift]

WAIT WAIT WAIT

wtf is a rogue "lite"

so, the only reason I know this is exists is cuz one of best buds from ac6 plays them religiously, so Iv only ever heard the term "spoken"

[grim creek]

I think Descent need a save points from time to time.
When you can reach loop 40 but you don't have the time to play a few hours straight is kinda sad. The whole point is: the save need to be destroyed when the character die

[untold surge]

it will be summit 2.0 than, its ok with no save points

it needs all talents to be in the mode not like now with talent pools

and allow to upgrade the talents over the limit that it is now at 10

and from 10-20-30.... loop to allow u to add an extra talent slot like red/blue/yellow/exotic

was farming the mode until they added talent pools (that's my frustration about Descent)

[glossy sand]

Rogue like start from 0 each time rogue lite start from zero at first but there's permanent upgrades you can buy to make yourself stronger over time

[grim swift]

I get now why riven claimed rogue lite. I didnt know there was any difference, even thought I just misheard my buddy. but ok, makes sense

[glossy sand]

Np

[glossy sand]

Most people who don't really like the genre won't notice the difference esp bc it's one letter that sounds similar when spoken

[grim swift]

yyy when you get it wrong, cuz you didnt realise it existed

"its READ not RED" wtf is read? you mean ree-d? "your families family will know what you have slandered of the english language" Ima be real I dont think english needed me to butcher it

never forget, i before e, except after c, unless its "science" the name of the most logical and "correct" subject

[errant apex]

This week is comms 38–41: Talking, Running, Stairs, Uncomfortable.

[glossy sand]

neighbor

[jolly cave]

Americans famously hate the letter U, so they shun it as much as they can.

[stiff rain]

they just had to shorten "doughnut"

[jolly cave]

No honor, all the color drained out.

[sand talon]

Hey, is the D2 servers down or in maintenance?

[crude silo]

No maintenance always happens in the am not pm

[sand talon]

. . . Okay? I just needed to know about now if it was down or now.

But what Zone?

[crude silo]

No it's not down

And every time zone

[sand talon]

No, I mean what zone dose D2 team roll out Maintenance?

Like GMT, DST, etc.

[crude silo]

I don't know when they announce it

[jolly cave]

@sand talon #server-status will have it listed when it's going to happen.r

[tender moss]

Before leaving completed room door closed and I cant proceed further, whats the issue?

[deft kraken]

you are stuck lol... happens to the best of us

[stiff rain]

yeah that's unfortunate but that's a restart

[pure tinsel]

There is no work around it as of yet that I know of will put you in a rm when the door shuts on before you enter but when your locked in rm have to restart 😩

Another issue is that at times an NPC will be stuck behind a door ,wall or under floor in some cases you can locate and shoot til it dies or if you can't you have to restart

[frozen radish]

any changes to descent in the last year? returning gamer trying to find if there is anything new

[young agate]

Comms as far as the eye can see

[red ledge]

I'm expecting we'll get more comms next season

[dense ember]

am I weird that I prefer descent to skyscraper?

[nocturne hedge]

Probably, yeah.

Both are kinda ass tho

[jolly cave]

@storm lagoon You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[wooden cliff]

thanks

[uncut gate]

Anyone managed to get the path from nemesis at this season?

I tried to make only hard rooms, just to meet him after 8th loop, but it seems impossible.

The heat always ending at 7th loop... Bad luck?

[dusk niche]

Yes bad luck
Can take several tries until you get good room rng

[viscid leaf]

Last season it took me 10 runs. This season it only took one. RNG is a cruel mistress in Descent.

[jolly cave]

@earnest cove You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[nocturne hedge]

no new descent comms this season hell yeah

[dusk niche]

Wonder if there's new arm patches

[red ledge]

Awwww :\

[primal obsidian]

Does anyone know if there are new blueprints added to the reconstructed cache pool this season?

[dusk niche]

Yes, the new items this season

[cedar wind]

Anything else new?

[nocturne hedge]

how many would that be 🧐

[dusk niche]

4, the new named items

[nocturne hedge]

gave the updated list to kettle, should be up soon

[pine siren]

Reconstructed cache blueprints as of Y7S3, courtesy of @nocturne hedge

[errant apex]

Comms 46–49 this week: ANNA First Test, Pitch, Prototype, Hostile Elements.

[dusk niche]

Can confirm, new season patches
Enjoy losing your mind to the crappy room rng

[red ledge]

Was there season patches, last season?

At the very least, if I can't have my weekly Descent run for the comm collectibles, I might as well try to get to Tier 2.

[dusk niche]

Yes, every season since descent came out
Same requirements as well

[crude silo]

Can't wait to get them especially the highest loop one I spent the entire of last season only to figure out I got it already without being notified

[open gate]

guys what's the rotation now?

[stiff rain]

greed

[open gate]

😭😭

[lusty escarp]

I there a way/web page to check what is current rotation, without going in game to check it on the door?

[dusk niche]

I don't think there is

[nocturne hedge]

Nobody in their right mind would put that much effort in for descent

[lusty escarp]

It has it's flaws but still... it is addictive 😉

[jolly cave]

Just ask here, someone always knows.

[deft kraken]

Gluttony

[rustic bough]

Not even Massive themselves bothered to release the API

Even the weekly vendor stocks had to be manually updated until now. How sad is that

[dusk niche]

Talent rotation did come later, 6 months after descent released but yeah no one can be bothered to keep track of the rotation

@vestal crow see above message ^

[errant apex]

It's Envy for the next three days, until <t:1765843200>.

Also, this week's comms are 50–53: "Field Test: .50 Cal", "Terminated", "Field Agent", and "Hoskins". Looks like this season is continuing the rerun, now covering the second half of the comms.

[hazy dragon]

Lowkey descending into insanity while playing descent

[bold finch]

Ty

[nocturne hedge]

So does that mean new comms next season? 🤢

[past sinew]

how do I beat the nemesis? I encountered them once and they hacked all my skills and deleted my hp in less than a second. I was using a skill build btw

[rustic bough]

There's the problem. Highly recommend not using offensive skills against the Nemesis

[hazy dragon]

Ngl descent is pretty fun

(RAHHH ROGUE LIKES ARE PEAK)

[red ledge]

YES! Please, give me new comms.

[nocturne hedge]

holiday items aside, is there a named item that doesnt have a blueprint at the moment?

[nocturne hedge]

have you done the commendation for 500 underground phases in div1?

[hazy dragon]

never had the dlc lol

[nocturne hedge]

thought not. descent can be kinda better than that sometimes

[errant apex]

Nope. Aside from event and FOMO items, everything else has blueprints.

[astral wolf]

FOMO?

[stiff rain]

fear of missing out

basically limited time items that are only available during that time period to encourage players to log in and play or they'll miss out

[astral wolf]

ah

[red ledge]

Yeah, like the seasonal patches

[lusty escarp]

What is current talent pool?

[steady crown]

I think it’s creed

Greed not creed

[lusty escarp]

You've got to be kidding me? Always the same 2-3 pools, I don't remember when was the last time we've had Sloth or Wrath.

[reef patio]

so im at 101 out of 105 coms here, what qam i missing here? cause whenever i was playing it i didnt received the last 4

[primal obsidian]

The game doesn't give you whatever you are missing. It just gives certain ones each week. There used to be a list somewhere

[reef patio]

wait you only get certain ones? since when?

[red ledge]

When you click on a locked comm, it gives out a title for like a millisecond

[dusk niche]

Since ever

[reef patio]

Damn, guess I didn't knew about it

[jolly cave]

@tepid spire You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[lusty escarp]

what is current pool?

[viscid leaf]

Gluttony.

[lusty escarp]

thx

[solid night]

these days Gluttony is after every other pool kept repeating

[errant apex]

This week's comms are 54–57: Upstate, Chicago, Warzone, Roster.

[lusty escarp]

What is today's talent pool?

[dusk niche]

Envy
Wondering if they changed the pool, fan favourite sloth hasn't been in rotation for a while 🤔

[lusty escarp]

It's like they are rotating 3 pools only, maybe a bug?

[dusk niche]

Who knows, could just be rng

[errant apex]

Comms 58–61 this week: LINC, Next Gen, Exploits, Workaround.

[long wyvern]

has the drop rate of reconstructed caches in descent decreased?

[nocturne hedge]

No

[long wyvern]

I havent gotten any reconstructed caches after the past 3 runs. before it was always 50/50

[nocturne hedge]

That's what 50/50 means, yup

[long wyvern]

let me rephrase that: before, after every 2 runs I had 1 reconstructed cache. now, this isnt the case anymore. and I've completed descent weekly for close to 1 year

[nocturne hedge]

Again. Its rng. The game doesn't care about how many times you've gotten one before. Its different per run.
Math. Statistics. What do you want me to say.

Your rng in this run doesn't care about your rng in the previous runs. Its always 50% for nemesis

[lusty escarp]

Sloth is the next talent pool

[gaunt bronze]

Awe i need that money on monday

[nova ibex]

how many times do I need to complete descent to acquire all the comms

[errant apex]

It depends on how many comms you're missing. This season is a rerun of comms 46–105, and each week you get a fixed set of four specific comms for completing the Weekly Descent Project.

[nova ibex]

thx i'm missing 101

[errant apex]

Well, that's a lot, and you already missed the first part of the rerun, which was last season. The only option now is to wait for the next rerun, and nobody knows when that's going to be.

What you can do is play Descent every week to at least get comms 62–105, which will be dropping over the remaining weeks of the season.

[nova ibex]

cool thx

[open gate]

i have 90 comms...and the weekly doesn't give me rest

[errant apex]

That means you played during weeks that rewarded comms you already had. Each Weekly Descent Project has a fixed set of comms as a reward — it's not random.

If you're missing specific ones, you need to complete Descent during the exact weeks when those comms are in the reward pool.

[light badge]

@open gate You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[rich stump]

tyvm!

[tepid ferry]

I’m in the same boat as you. I have been getting a reconstruction cache every other successful decent for more than a year. I play multiple times every week. After Retaliation started the reconstruction caches are more rng now. (Not every other) I’m still lacking 35 blueprints

[stiff rain]

rng is hard to understand

[viscid leaf]

Is the max blueprint count now 658? Just making sure I didn't miss any.

[earnest acorn]

Hi,did you encounter lag in Descent?...i have about 1 sec delay

[earnest acorn]

Nice work....Delta at loop 20.....try to make some checkpoints in Descent dear devs,i know is hard work but,being very competent and high-skilled devs i am sure you will can....thank you

[jolly cave]

They've spoken about having checkpoints in Descent before, and confirmed that Descent would need to be remade from the ground up in order to implement them, so basically "don't expect them to be added".

[dusk niche]

How many seasona need to go by before you realize nothing is going to happen?
Descent is only there just so they could retcon the story

It's been 2 years since they've introduced rotations and we don't still have the 2 missing sins

5 deadly sins only in descent 💀

[rustic bough]

Clearly division agents are not allowed to have the other 2

[viscid leaf]

I got Composure in the current pool and about 3 loops later it upgraded itself to level 4. I never upgraded it or even saw it from the computers at the end of the rooms. Is that a new Descent bug or something that I never noticed?

[fading yarrow]

Current pool please?

[cyan totem]

Gluttony

[topaz thicket]

I’m struggling to even get to my first nemesis

Are there any tips as far as what perks/weaoons/skills to pick?

[young agate]

Up to 3 stacks of preservation will help survive risky firefights, one stack of trauma can come in clutch as early as you can get it, spawn camp an active door to help not get swarmed, avoid workshop at all costs

Revive hive is nice but be wary as it will give nemesis a healer hive, typically nemesis will put it down and leave the area if you are patient enough and can kill him before he runs back into it or it pops and comes back

Wrath and envy are optimal for easy crit builds, surgical/strained/obliterate are all you need for reliable sustained-fire damage, even better with bullet hell further better with payment in kind

I prefer ARs/SMGs and LMGs, medium to slow fire rate

[topaz thicket]

Solid thank you!

[long wyvern]

Is it known when there will be another "catch up" week for descent comms?

[jolly cave]

@long wyvern Unless it's announced publicly in a news channel, no one here has insider info.
If it doesn't say it there or ingame: assume that we don't know either.

[errant apex]

No one knows that unless the devs announce it themselves as Rivens said. This current season is a catch-up season already, since every week you're getting old comms as Weekly Descent Project rewards. The previous season was a catch-up too, so I really wouldn't expect Y8S1 to be another one. They'll have to add new comms at some point.

[stoic hemlock]

Can i end a simulation in descent from the menu or do i need to beat the boss and from there?

[stiff rain]

esc > social > leave descent

[rustic bough]

Or /leave

[jolly cave]

alt+f4 also works.

[rustic bough]

But you're gonna lose 5 minutes loading the game up so I wouldn't recommend that.

[solemn fog]

Hey guys what are the descent comms before the reset tomorrow please

[solemn fog]

Hello anyone know the comms for this week

[errant apex]

Comms 78–81: Birdie, Lauren, Mari, Cindy.

Last week it was comms 74–77: Rikers, Meret Estate, Maral, Moretti.

I miss when descent was agnostic with no sins.

[jolly cave]

Hey I'm already going to hell, I may as well go with style 😎

How long does it take to complete one loop of descent?

[pine siren]

<10m if you're reasonably proactive

[jolly cave]

@twilit cobalt You're looking for #lfg-playstation, GL Agent

[twilit cobalt]

So in this room we just talk about Descent but not form groups. Got it. Makes sense

[jolly cave]

It's a discussion channel, I can see about getting the word "discussion" added, but most folk seem to understand the purpose already.

[twilit cobalt]

Yeah we will just discuss it here. Keep up the great work. Glad you're here to help guide us in the right direction.

Don't anyone in here dare to ask to play as a group in Descent. We only can discuss Descent. Discussion only ...

Bruh

[junior orbit]

get a load of this guy

[twilit cobalt]

Keep this to a discussion fellers ^^^^

[scenic aurora]

Good idea is to buy one of the elemental bullets before hand. If you have trauma in the pool it also is quite solid. CC breaks most of not all bosses in descent . Blind and fire are your best bets.

[pale arrow]

Are the upgrades for decent runs permanent with the tokens used at the store outside?

[pine siren]

Yes

[chilly portal]

It says no access for me.. how can I access this link can someone please tell

[pine siren]

that's because it's the playstation-specific lfg channel - you'd want #lfg-pc for PC.

[chilly portal]

Ah okay. Ty

[errant apex]

It's Envy until <t:1739491200>.
This week's comms are 86–89: Eva, Jack, Mel, The Sims.

New pool ?

[errant apex]

Greed.

[lusty escarp]

Guys I recently saw that you can reroll talents in Descent, is that a new feature or was it there all along?

[dusk niche]

Been there since day 1

[lusty escarp]

I can't believe I missed that for months of playing Descent non stop...

[lusty escarp]

I think I know why I missed it... it said "reset skills" in my language and I didn't check what it actually does, because I usually avoid resetting stats, skills or talents in games.

[past sinew]

are the rewards worth it? I really dont feel like playing for 3 hours to get to like loop 20 and feel like I've wasted my time

[lusty escarp]

We play it for fun, how can you say this wastes your time?
Only the bugs and people leaving waste time, but if the game goes smoothly it is very good.

Though I must say, that loops 8-25 get quite boring after some repeats.

[worldly patio]

I enjoy it, yes there are more fun talent pool rotations than others but as for rewards it’s the way to go for unlocking the named item blueprints from the reconstructed caches so you don’t have to farm for a specific item. You can just craft it with whatever attribute rolls you’re looking for

[viscid leaf]

Checked my blueprints and it says I'm missing an exotic blueprint for a weapon and kneepads. Not sure if these are placeholders for a new season coming up or maybe new exotics from Survival. Or maybe Descent finally gets an update for new exotics.

[worldly patio]

try retalliation, Decent is only named item blueprints

[viscid leaf]

Not retaliation blueprints. The missing ones are reroll blueprints.

[worldly patio]

reconfigure?

[viscid leaf]

Yes

[worldly patio]

Did you try Inaya at the crafting table?

[viscid leaf]

Yes, I have all blueprints. I don't know when these 2 new ones were added.

[errant apex]

Check this list, it has all possible blueprints:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQZF6R-PYMsz9UeqCRCktZ3GW05T60Tru_BCU0J4VGSDrsB_ipKCPBNDmeSwOuQ-vigsh8h73d8Kcso/pubhtml

The kneepads are actually Blacklisters. There is a blueprint for them, but you can't obtain it.
As for the weapon, it's the duplicate of the Bittersweet blueprint, which you cannot obtain as well.

[errant apex]

It's Envy until <t:1771804800>.
This week's comms are 90, 103, 104, 105: Bardon, Violet 2.0, Playtime, Fetch.

[nocturne hedge]

So there used to be 4 extra blueprints but now there's 6?

[viscid leaf]

Yes, but because they are exotic reconfigure blueprints, they don't count towards the overall blueprint number at the table. I'm still at 658/662.

[nocturne hedge]

Nice. Hopefully they fix the other 4

[errant apex]

Yeah, they replaced one of the duplicates with some of the newer named pieces last season… So I hope this eventually happens to other BPs as well.

[faint urchin]

Can you explain this to me? Haven't gotten into crafting, descent or that yet. Came back after like 3yrs off and am working to finish Library but wanna start making builds and find myself lacking most core pieces from videos and such

[worldly patio]

@faint urchin when you play Decent game mode in Division you have a chance of getting Reconstructed caches that contain named item blueprints, that once unlocked you can craft that item at the table

[faint urchin]

So if I get say the blueprint for Equalizer chest plate, I can craft it. But does it still come with a Red core or whatever is default? Or can I craft it with whatever I want?

@worldly patio

[worldly patio]

Yes, it comes with whatever main core it gets, sub attributes could change

[faint urchin]

So the sub attributes are still randomized but it saves me from fighting rngesus for the item to even drop?

And can I get blueprints for holiday named items like the kneepads that slow enemies? I believe Snowfall is their name

[pine siren]

Those kneepads don't slow enemies, they just create a purely visual snowfall effect when you apply a status effect

[stable dock]

Talent pool: Greed

[faint urchin]

Oh.. disappointing but ty lol, saves me from trying to slide em into my build🤣 🤣

[viscid leaf]

Blueprints are only for the normal named items: stuff you find in Named item caches. Holiday named items unfortunately do not have blueprints.

[austere hornet]

Is there any other way, exept Kenly to get Diamondback ? Just got div2 a week ago so i missed the open time and dont wanna wait like 3 months 😐

[bold finch]

Diamondback is an open world drop. Just farm targeted loot. It used to only drop from Kenley a long time ago

[austere hornet]

If ur right man, u saved the game from going into my trashcan 😂

[bold finch]

Lmaoo I'm right. Just farm rifles in countdown n buy exotic caches at countdown vendor. It'll drop eventually. Gl

[austere hornet]

Tyty

[odd wasp]

so i completed my first ever room in descent. and then got melted by a room with 6 flamethrowers.

now im locked out of it. and it has a thing that says "greed" at the bottom with 1d1h left? is that the remaining cool down before it unlocks again?

[errant apex]

No, it's the current talent pool that rotates in 1d 1h.

I'd strongly recommend reading this recent Descent guide by iKia. Or watch the video if you are too lazy.

The first time I tried decent I made it to the first boss room and survived and was fine... till I ran outta ammo

I guess im mostly just used to normal pve with pesti due to gunner and restocks every 5 steps

[viscid leaf]

When you first start a Descent game, you can't carry a lot of ammo. You'd have to buy it from the restock shop or buy more ammo capacity from the shop in the beginning of the loop. Most players use the pistol to save ammo at the start.

[young agate]

Comms 99-102 this week I'm assuming?

[errant apex]

No, same comms as last week for some reason.

[waxen cave]

when it comes to Descent is there anything specific i should focus for a build

[stark flare]

depends on the talent pool

rifle builds work really good for most loot pools; it's usually what I build towards

you can use unhinged at any level with an MMR and zero braced/optimized talents because of first bullet accuracy

blues are always preservation and clutch as top priority, and then hazard protection after (because cleaner flamethrowers will just kill you, and they hit you through walls)

All I can say from first hand experience is, do not play when Sloth is the talent pool oh my god it sucks

[jolly cave]

@grand knot You're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[viscid leaf]

Did they add the new named items (lmg and chest piece) to the blueprint pool and made them unobtainable? Recobstructed caches didn't have them but I haven't tried taking over a control point to see if they're there.

[jolly cave]

Generally, new items take a little bit to actually get into those pools.

[dusk niche]

No, they did not add the blueprints to either reconstructed or CP

[errant apex]

No, you cannot get these blueprints atm.

[hearty shuttle]

This maybe my favorite rogue like game yet. I can't believe this kind of game is in the division 2 of all places.

[wooden inlet]

Do u have a print or video? I don't know how to do it in less than 5:20-5:30 hours.

[stiff rain]

he's not in the server anymore. but with the good rotations like wrath or envy it can be done pretty efficiently by picking meta talents. and 4 people all running dps so they camp doors

[young agate]

A couple things speed up runs, minimizing indecision at any point you need to make a choice, you'd be suprised how much time adds up just by standing there mulling over every talent choice, room choice, weapon choice. Another thing is your efficiency in locking down a spawn point door at the beginning of a room, being able to do that generally shortens the amount of time it takes to clear a room

Having a more aggressive run-and-gun build also let's you clear rooms quicker

[young agate]

I think you accidentally clicked the descent chat

[pallid plaza]

Indeed I have LOL

My bad 😭

[young agate]

🤣

[jolly cave]

@hoary orbit This channel is really just for discussing the mode, you can find help down in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[wooden inlet]

[stiff rain]

sounds reasonable for me. just don't take any breaks xD

[forest jewel]

Any general advice for decent. I don’t want advanced I want to learn as I go but also I really suck at decent

[rapid river]

how long does matchmaking take for the desent

[young agate]

Really long time, no one has any reason to matchmake descent. Solo is better anyway

[young agate]

The first loop is generally the toughest since you have pretty much nothing for your build, so don't get discouraged if you have trouble getting through it

Spawn camp one of the active doors when you start a room, makes it easier if you can thin their numbers to start

[errant apex]

iKia's Descent Guide might be helpful here:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NNx-vYXiFKX6Uhn3KN81P951OfdMTG6-Kxu30vCHSxc/edit?tab=t.0

[jolly cave]

@robust lava This channel is just for discussing the mode, you're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[dusty quarry]

i didn't get through it. i got a pistol vs a heavy, died and never came back

[young agate]

A heavy? As the named enemy at the end of the loop? Not sure I've ever seen a heavy in the first loop

Just let me cope, okay? 😔

[errant apex]

I mean, they added all existing Descent comms to Retaliation rewards. And Vindicator blueprint is in Retal as well. So… RIP. 🫠

[red ledge]

Wait, what?

Are you talking about the comms that drop from Elite BTSU Kill Squads after killing them during a Retaliation run, from the PTS?

[errant apex]

No, BTSU Team 9 has its own comms. Descent comms are now in a Retaliation completion pool.

[red ledge]

Oh yeah, I've seen that RG video where he briefly talks about BTSU Team 9 comms.

Then again, I suppose adding Descent comms in Retaliation completion pool is one way to allow players to catch up.

[errant apex]

Yeah, seems like it.

[viscid leaf]

That's in the PTS?

[errant apex]

Yes.

[errant apex]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NNx-vYXiFKX6Uhn3KN81P951OfdMTG6-Kxu30vCHSxc/

Find the "Nemesis" paragraph.

And the "Anatomy of a Run".

[young agate]

There's a problem with that file

But basically you want to run to the left all the way up the stairs and set up shop on the raised platform, it's a nicely defensible position as long as no one gave one of them oxidizer

Taking oxidizer or the healing chem launcher will give them oxidizer, no one should be taking these skills

And yes nemesis will butcher you no matter what loop you get them

Hey people, I want to get a specific backpack and I heard you can get it through this mode.

Thing is, I've only played it like twice and didn't really know what I was doing. So if anyone is down to guide, maybe I can be an extra body to help get you need, while I try to get this BP...

I would use my PS account, my pc one is still below level 30 right now.

[errant apex]

Hello! There's no gear except Vindicator locked behind Descent. What backpack are you referring to?

[unique mica]

Liquid Engineer. I read somewhere you can acquire blueprints for it or something like that.

It's a Belstone Armory named item

[errant apex]

Blueprints come from Reconstructed Caches which you can now get from Retaliation as well.

So no need in doing Descent in particular, especially if you find it hard.

Oh cool. Okay. I'll look to see if it's in a pool.

[open gate]

rotation at the moment?

[jolly cave]

Wrath, for 2 days, 15 hours.

[shadow mortar]

in descent .. if the door out of the room you just cleared shuts before you can get out.. anyone know if there is any workaround ?

[rustic bough]

Unfortunately that is a long-standing bug

[flint breach]

Does anyone have the updated list of the blueprints from reconstructed cache ?

[jolly cave]

@flint breach Check the 📌 pin in this channel, most up to date list we have.

[solid night]

Descent needs some love too from developers

[young agate]

Gotta hit up the LFG chat y'all, this is just descent discussion

[serene topaz]

ah, didn't notice. sorry about that

[young agate]

All good. Happens a lot

[untold maple]

You can also get end-game, and DZ specific weapons/gear through SEASON caches! Without having to grind said areas. I got Dark Winter, Harmony and Liquid Engineer from those Caches

[glad trench]

Hey guys, I returned to the game recently and The Descent wasn't a thing back when I left the game.
Do I miss something special when I do not kill my Nemesis? So in total I mean like some White House advancement or so?
Because this game mode does not seem to be quite interesting to me so I would rather skip it...

[young agate]

Nah you aren't missing much, they put comms in the weekly descent project for killing nemesis but those comms are going to be available elsewhere with this new update, reconstructed caches as well (these will give you all the remaining blueprints for named items)

[queen pond]

What about the exotic or you still gotta do it for the exotic. It’s the only one I’m missing and I avoid it like the plague ^

[fresh ivy]

Just farm currency thats what I did

[queen pond]

Fair call. Might do it if I get bored enough

[fresh ivy]

The descent is more boring lol🤣

[queen pond]

I heard the exotic isn’t great anyways hence another reason I didn’t attempt it.

[jolly cave]

It's not amazing, honestly the outfits are much more valuable long-term.

[queen pond]

ill have to check those out didnt know outfits were involved

[jolly cave]

It's just the suit you wear in Descent, you can get the different colour options.
Honestly they're just kinda cool.

[queen pond]

you had me at outfits, being a previous destiny2 player im all about the fashion game even if i wont wear them

[jolly cave]

as a former Hunter: I approve!

[queen pond]

i was a warlock main since beta of d1

have over 7k hours on d2 just on pc alone

[jolly cave]

@pliant magnet This channel is just for discussions about the mode, you're looking for #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[pliant magnet]

mb bro thought it was a channel

[wooden inlet]

rotation at the moment?

[jolly cave]

@wooden inlet Servers go down for maintenance in just under 45 minutes.
Greed for the next 17 hours, and 43 minutes.

[gentle briar]

new descent based event going on

[errant apex]

New named BPs in Reconstructed Caches:

• Bulldog
• Gear Shift
• Impetus
• Interchange
• Robin
• Trader

[nocturne hedge]

Been a while since i played, which category do these fall into? (AR, LMG, SMG, etc..)

[young agate]

Completed the weekly descent both last week and this week hoping it would give me comm 105, neither did, if they didn't make them available from retaliation I'd be pissed

[red ledge]

Bulldog - Backpack

Gear Shift - LMG

Impetus - Chest

Interchange - SMG

Robin - Chest

Trader - Rifle

[errant apex]

There's been no Descent comms since March 10.

It was the date when the rerun schedule ended.

[young agate]

So the weekly descent project has been bugged saying it offered catch-up comms?

[errant apex]

Yes, there's no catch up comms since 10th or 17th.

Find a Descent comm schedule on Reddit, it's all explained there.

[jolly cave]

Or just run Retal, each one gives you 1 Descent Comm now.

[young agate]

I know it does now, that's why I'm not as pissed

[errant apex]

Envy until <t:1775433600:F>.

[young agate]

Where does that rank on the PC boards?

[safe canyon]

Ik a top list can be subjective but like, with rotations are better/worse?

might run it lot of descent runs tmrw just to go up on NSA tech to buy upgrades

[errant apex]

Envy and Wrath. Envy is the best one for obvious reasons.
This weeked is crazy good for a deep Descent run.

I just wish there were no deltas at higher loops. 🙃

[safe canyon]

and for the other 3?

[errant apex]

Meh.

[safe canyon]

I'm just considering if its worth to grind trmw

depending on what the rotation is

[errant apex]

Definitely not if it's not Wrath.

[safe canyon]

guess we will see in an hour in a half

[young agate]

Envy and wrath are top-tier, sloth can be good if you can juggle a versatile/gunslinger build (or I like to build a full tech oxidizer build), greed and gluttony are largely garbage, with those two you usually just end up McGuyvering 6 offense talents together and hope it's enough damage to out-duel nemesis

[safe canyon]

I'll owe one to whoever goes check which rotation did the game chose rn

[errant apex]

Wrath until <t:1775692800:F>.

[safe canyon]

Ayyy. I'm grinding tmrw

Any tips on what I should waste my nsa at? Already got the 4th talent, random start talent, all of aok and half onto chc and hsd

(guess I got the essencials)

[valid narwhal]

did this end yet?

[gentle briar]

you have until <t:1775548854:f>

[valid narwhal]

Thank you
