[brazen mountain]

Trophy and to find data

[oak prawn]

i hear there was a theory that first wave agents were hunters

[raven junco]

So far the lore point they’re part of Homeland Security not SHD.

[oak prawn]

and i did not belive it

[oak prawn]

yes

[brazen mountain]

Me too

[oak prawn]

tech after everyone else is dead mc manus would in charge but since hes a tratior the closest thing we have to a leader is manny

[brazen mountain]

But what I think is that hunters we’re called upon by BT superiors because that actually makes sense

[oak prawn]

i mean the hunters could of tooken us the player agent out at anytime but it seems they are watching us

and observing

[brazen mountain]

Yea and do you remember the mission where the hunter actually taunted our character?

[oak prawn]

he killed that agent but not us he could of

[raven junco]

Seem they want US to become a hunter. That why they want to kill us.

[brazen mountain]

He could’ve killed us but chose not to

[oak prawn]

i think the hunters have orders to only watch the player agents for nowe

[raven junco]

Or maybe McManus want to recruit us.

[oak prawn]

id be down

ngl

[brazen mountain]

When you spawn them they wanna kill you

[oak prawn]

im talking about the stalker hunters

[raven junco]

To defend themselves.

[oak prawn]

the 1s who watch from rooftops

[brazen mountain]

Oh

[oak prawn]

id be down to become a hunter

[brazen mountain]

Me too

[zinc shadow]

guys, please, #division-universe is the lore channel and it's pretty dead so if we could

yaknow go there 😃

[brazen mountain]

Oki doki

[jolly mural]

Any news on 16.1?

[astral jacinth]

Looking for pug strategies for the last room in legendary manning zoo

[narrow lava]

This is important - Does the puppy you can pet in Haven, does it have a name?

[raven junco]

Bernard, joking.

[narrow lava]

I would believe it, actually.

[gusty dove]

dont think it does

[clever creek]

16.1 is a decimal after 16

[tender wave]

kill all the adds, spread out, shoot the bosses in the back. Takes forever, but it works

[clever creek]

I hate when people hug the entrance to an area

For example floor 100 on summit everyone is too scared to go into the room

It just becomes harder

[tender wave]

nah, it's easier - just slower

hunter comes in, someone scorpios them, they burn down real fast, other hunters can't do much about it

[clever creek]

Two hunters come in at once and everyone dies

Sometimes if player gets knocked you'll be reviving them and a hunter goes into the room and behind everyone and the other pushes front

[timber hatch]

I agree that method of sitting back and waiting forever for them is awful, but I'm curious what method you'd rather do instead for floor 100.

[clever creek]

I have no idea

invite them for a tea party

[timber hatch]

Pre-F10, this is what people used to farm F100. The exp is nerfed now, but it used to be faster than F10

https://youtu.be/Qomia8rJato

[gusty dove]

jesus christ thats fast

[novel laurel]

How much xp is that lmao

1.7M?

[timber hatch]

Multiple levels each time, plus there's a trick where you could clear the area before this on normal, then swap to legendary+ directives for just the hunters.

You could do a clear about every 2 minutes

[austere harbor]

I wanna farm f10 but I don’t have a build for it just yet plus no one will take me cause I’m only watch level 37 lmao

[cold lagoon]

That’s messed up

[tepid briar]

Who needs to make a Nemisis Blueprint when I can just get one from countdown pogger

And just like that my headHunter build is done

[astral jacinth]

Like, this? https://youtu.be/gdFAIY1Xk2c

[sacred urchin]

Guys when is weekly reset? At what time? Returning player here.

[oak prawn]

tmrw morning

[astral jacinth]

Hopefully tomorrow or next week

[fair lake]

Sadly, no news about tomorrow at all(

[sacred kindle]

hello, I've try turning on/off the setting to show/hide signature weapon on backpack, but it never shows. is it bugged atm?

[sleek drift]

Yeh

[wet igloo]

Where is it actually???

I haven’t been able to find it

[sleek drift]

Same place where you show your mask

[wet igloo]

Oh snap

[sleek drift]

Actually found the mask option when I was looking to disable my signature

Didn't realize you could run around with your mask on for aesthetic purposes till then

[gusty dove]

settings > gameplay > scroll down to show spec and switch it to no, shows for me by doing that

[oak prawn]

I just got jumpscared was in the DZ in an alley it was evening I say 3 agents come around the corner scared the shjt outta me

Thought I was gonna get jumped 😂

[sacred kindle]

hey ! putting that on "no" actualy worked, lmao thanks

[gusty dove]

could've though

[latent condor]

am i dumb? cause i see no way of spending my textiles ( recently came back from a long break ) and i have like 3k of them

[oak prawn]

They were friendly we emoted and parted ways

[oak prawn]

Disabled temporarily

Due to a bug whwre if you bought something with textiles you also spent premium creds

[latent condor]

ah ok

ty

[jagged prism]

Kelso maybe? ;p

maybe The Division since Paul didn't like us?

[oak prawn]

You name it yourself

Each person has a different name

[mental bison]

Johnny napam

[oak prawn]

I named Mine Captain Jack sparrow

[mental bison]

Pupies are like napalm

They stick to kids

[sleek drift]

😂

[oak prawn]

I want a pet cat

In the division

[sleek drift]

Mfw can't adopt from the animal shelter

[oak prawn]

I want to id protect that cat with m love

Uni add pets into division 2 we can keep and take care of admist our other duties

[mental bison]

Cats are wack !

Put them in meat grinder i say

[oak prawn]

Cats are better then dogs require less work

[tepid briar]

What are the Exotic LMG rn

[oak prawn]

Bluescreen and pestilence

[tepid briar]

Which one is better

[oak prawn]

Bluescreen is used for more skil builds and that jazz idk about pestilence as I don't run it

[mental bison]

So yea how to get exotics

From dz just run higher tier landmarks ?

[oak prawn]

I just do summit

[tepid briar]

Im making a LMG Umbra sawyaer kneepad build

[oak prawn]

DZ is more high risk high reward cause you got loot goblins in tne DZ who can kill yoi and take your loot

[mental bison]

Yea i want to do lmg build but im still lvl up

So far i just stick any armour that has better stats

Im about to do priority misson and last black tusk stronghold

And then new york

[full zinc]

Sawyers good for headhunter/pesti builds but with umbra requiring you to move a lot I dont see it as a good fit... catharsis on other hand gives you damage as you take hits and drops healing on ground when you take enough hits

[next herald]

Well, I made a healer build, this will be interesting to adjust my playstyle heavily

[jagged prism]

now you can heal legendary tidal basin? ;p

[next herald]

Oh very likely

[jagged prism]

my soul dies healing that mission

[next herald]

Ive- never ran a legendary before

I wanted to make a raid healer build tbh and I think it went okay though

[tepid briar]

Umbra doesnt require you to move

[lusty raven]

Hey is the ubisoft service unavailable for pc?

[jagged prism]

just a little moving if you want to experience the rate of fire and critical hit damage

[full zinc]

You take cove to build damage stacks. You move to use those stacks.

[jagged prism]

and out of cover so you can get stacks to regenerate your armor as well. so it does require movement

[full zinc]

Sawyers wants you still. Itll last 10 seconds after moving but then list until you are still again and it starts building

[tepid briar]

I mean its easy to proc sawyers again

[full zinc]

You can do high end pesti build and sawyers fits great though

[tepid briar]

i still down see how you need to move to use the dmg stacks

[mental bison]

There are black tusks outside the white house

[jagged prism]

the pesti really doesn't seem to benefit the rate of fire buff. i tried it and was like that's it?

[full zinc]

Pesti needs raw weapon damage to shine

[full zinc]

Check the talent you'll need to move off cover with umbra to proc the damage. So you'll get 10 seconds of max damage from sawyers

[jagged prism]

i guess if you wanted to use that damage while you were in cover to regen your armor could work like that?

[full zinc]

It can. But takes 10 seconds to build damage back once you stop moving

[tepid briar]

Im looking at the taletns

[jagged prism]

nods 5 seconds after you get some of your armor back you get the buff XD

[tepid briar]

it says you gain stack while in cover

and of you move,you lose the stacks

[jagged prism]

yes, read it carefully

it also states the buff doesn't work while you're in cover

[tepid briar]

Ah

[jagged prism]

now thinking about it? if they flipped the buffing and armor regen it'd be an awesome set to play with

[full zinc]

Look into catharsis . It can give that 30% damage buff from taking hits and isnt lost till it drops a heal dot

Its a build up talent though

[tepid briar]

I see now

[jagged prism]

who knows maybe they got a bit dyslexic and flipped them the wrong way (> <)

[tepid briar]

then would Striker be better

[full zinc]

Striker is really powerful atm and gets better 16.1 patch

[jagged prism]

16.2 "we looked at umbra and realized we mixed up the buffing and flipped them as it should've been" (^ ^)

[full zinc]

🤣 hopes

[jagged prism]

16.1 the stack loss caps at 3 stacks a second lost opposed to the 5 at 200

[tepid briar]

So

would a sawyer Striker build be better

than a sawyer Umbral

[full zinc]

Doesnt require movement so better than umbra

[tepid briar]

Guess Im farming Stiker

[full zinc]

It's a solid set 👍

[potent lava]

Kinda sad how dead the dz is

[gusty dove]

go rogue and kill random people, surely youll start fight that way

[potent lava]

Could anybody tell me how to farm exotics? I'm guessing just summit or countdown, say I want an exotic SMG I should put targeted loot on smgs?

[gusty dove]

yes

[bitter wraith]

Ok...so with expertise...i dont really understand how it works...whata the beat material to grind to reach level 20 expertise?

[jagged prism]

believe certain level changes the materials needed

[bitter wraith]

So higher the level more mats needed?

Becauze im on 3 atm

[jagged prism]

think different materials?

[bitter wraith]

And have been for months

[jagged prism]

i just know people tend to need Exotic Components to upgrade

[bitter wraith]

How many maximum usually needed? I have about 104

[jagged prism]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/uzmi4l/upgrade_costs_weapon_gear_skill/

[azure lintel]

Fuck donating components, just donate all the crap gear and weapons you don’t want.

[summer frost]

anyone else noticing that crashes are more frequent on xbox now?

[azure lintel]

I’ve only had it dashboard me once and that was on the first day of the new season.

[jagged prism]

if us PC players have to suffer crashes we're spreading the love to consoles (^ ^)

[azure lintel]

Ive probably only been disconnected 10 times ever.

[jagged prism]

we're just trying to figure sony out 👀

[tepid briar]

Countdown is fun

[bitter wraith]

Did that...nothing happened. I collected some suseless trash including an item that gave me the wrong stats and put them all in at once as junk and nothing happened

[jagged prism]

it's a headache to me

[dusk flower]

I really need to throw together a red build so I can try Countdown. I just have 2 skill builds I switch between normally

[bitter wraith]

*was. Its very grindy after doing it for the 300th time

Plus half the time your team have half broken builds so you die anyway because they cant protect you

[jagged prism]

like here you got 15 minutes to do things, oh stop and loot/deconstruct your gear so you lose some time

oh plus go to 3 places to flip the debuffs to buffs

[bitter wraith]

I have a one shot shotgun build designed for dz but never fimsihed it as i need final piece with certain stats ( for full red cores) and it absolutely RUINS hunters in countdown especially after popping a foam at them

[bitter wraith]

Full 8 ppl group is enough as long as you spend maximum 45 seconds wasting time. Tbf as long as your entire team revive each otther the whole way its so easy

[tepid briar]

For striker build

what Sub stat do you want

[bitter wraith]

Erm...is this a question?

[tepid briar]

weapon handling or crit chance?

[bitter wraith]

Oh crit chance id advise

Maybe i shouldve check what expertise actually was before wasting 10 mins messing around witth the junk i collected

[jagged prism]

yeah, think you can only so far donating i think? not sure. but yeah, there used to be a bug that if you did that you wouldn't reach the max level possible

[leaden terrace]

Anyone have summit floor 10 checkpoint?

[tepid briar]

I do enjoy this Striker Sawyer LMG build

[tepid briar]

I hate rogue agents

[oak prawn]

i loove rogue agents

[jagged prism]

it depends when you get them and where

[tepid briar]

I gotton regoue agents twice on tidal basin

First time I die because I was by myself

[tall barn]

can someone help me lvl up i just started

[tepid briar]

Second time I kill them because I was in a group

[near musk]

Any1 know if I buy the game+expansion and get the level 30 boost can I skip the base game campaign?

[wet igloo]

Yes

[near musk]

Awesome thank you. I played it at release and don't want to have to replay it.

About how long is warlords of new york

[wet igloo]

Kinda a bit

Well would’ve been longer straight out of the main campaign

[near musk]

Ok thx

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rakey

[oak prawn]

that family in the safe zone where the vendor is hates agents they wont let me join and get a hug

its always hey agent can you do this neevr hey agent how you doing

[wet igloo]

Hello saph

[oak prawn]

agents have feeling to lmao

we aint all cold hearted

[sleek drift]

Cept loot goblins

[oak prawn]

hey not all loot goblins are cold hearted 99% are but still there is that 1 % that are not

[sleek drift]

Lmao

I'm the kinda goblin that hoards excessively then has random streaks of kindness

[oak prawn]

if your new to the game id show mercy to you and not take your loot but if its an experinced player you know full well im taking his loot

[sleek drift]

Is it just the principle of it

"lmao i took ur loot even tho u didnt need it get mogged"

I'd sooner just haka them

[oak prawn]

i loot goblin alot ngl

[sleek drift]

I guess I could just take the gear and break it down into DZ credits

I feel bad bullying lower leveled / shittily geared ppl

[oak prawn]

i sneak inot extraction zones and while the other agents are busy i take loot off the line and run

[sleek drift]

lmfao

[lethal dome]

I would say 6h at max to go from 30 to 40

[sleek drift]

That's funny

[lethal dome]

at max

[oak prawn]

they dont even know till they look back

[sleek drift]

Reminds me of The Jackal from Far Cry 2 during one of his philosophical rants

[lethal dome]

depends on how much you will play non-stop

[sleek drift]

"why are you called the jackal?" "hey, the jackal sneaks in and steals the lion's share"

[oak prawn]

i usally also throw shock traps

heheh

[sleek drift]

I'd sooner probably be looking for random groups of agents to heckle just to see if I could take on multiple opponents

Pull some Saitama bs

I need to put a build together tbh

[oak prawn]

if i see you in the DZ better watch yo loot at extraction

[sleek drift]

bet

Do you just play in invaded dzs

[oak prawn]

ill shock yea and run

[sleek drift]

I like stalking

[oak prawn]

i like stalking agents as well

watch my prey before i strike

[jagged prism]

i'd be like the loot goblin. shoot you with a pistol and wave at you and you kill me get my loots XD

[sleek drift]

I love how people unironically call the scav looter a loot goblin

[pliant sentinel]

me : sacrifice is so good
the random elite hyena up my ass :

[sleek drift]

It's the first thing that occurred to me when I saw it

[oak prawn]

hes into that stuff run

[pliant sentinel]

countdown fun

[sleek drift]

PGC is actually rage inducing sometimes for me

But then it's because I'm being too aggressive with an AR and not plinking with a rifle

[pliant sentinel]

thats why i play umbra

[oak prawn]

i use a rilfe and ar

being able to ssnipe from long distances heheheh

[sleek drift]

I'm putting together a chest with unbreakable on it this way I can go run a raid and get my EB

[oak prawn]

i have EB

[sleek drift]

Nice

[oak prawn]

someone dropped it for me

[pliant sentinel]

lemme know when u doing DH i kinda wanna do one

[oak prawn]

i never use it

[sleek drift]

I also dunno if the average PUG is willing to take someone below SHD 1k

I'm probably gonna hit 800 tonight

[oak prawn]

meet me in DZ west i got some mac and cheese for you

[pliant sentinel]

aw hell nah

[sleek drift]

Mac n cheese and steak

[oak prawn]

i totally dont want your loot

[sleek drift]

Some ungodly combo of food

[pliant sentinel]

and steak? omw

[sleek drift]

I just got done with cardio and I have a juicy steak waiting for me

[novel laurel]

I got my EB from second crate

Proud to say I got it myself

[oak prawn]

the chest is rigged

at the end

[sleek drift]

I'm waiting to see how lucky I'll be, I wanna lul and get it from every boss just for cosmic shitposting purposes

[pliant sentinel]

i'll drop it for anyone since i have 4

[sleek drift]

Anyways, chest percent is 10 correct?

[novel laurel]

I mean yea all the loot is rigged

[oak prawn]

yes bosses its 1%

[novel laurel]

I got my ravenous from second boss in IH lol

[sleek drift]

Not entirely awful odds

[novel laurel]

It’s 1% chance for an exotic. Not for a raid exotic btw

[sleek drift]

Let's see if I'm lucky then when I run it

[oak prawn]

i got rav as well

i dont use it perks are awful gotta constantly change shoulders for the perks

[sleek drift]

It looks sexy

[pliant sentinel]

dislocated my shoulders using it

[sleek drift]

Stance dancing too hard

must brrrrr

[tepid briar]

Is there any exotic gear that goes well with a headhunter build?

[sleek drift]

inb4 nem

[tepid briar]

Would it be Sawyer?

[oak prawn]

im too lazy to get regulus

[sleek drift]

Yeah I'm dreading IH

[oak prawn]

i dont really need it

[sleek drift]

It just looks sexy and it's a collectible

My only reason for wanting it

[oak prawn]

im happy with eb and rav

[novel laurel]

I got my reg god rolled

Best gun in the game for pve

[oak prawn]

my coyotes attrubites are almost maxed

[novel laurel]

I got reg, Tardigrade, ridgeways and btsu gloves god rolled

[sleek drift]

That was the first thing I fully opt'd

[novel laurel]

My coyotes and memento are optimized

[sleek drift]

I just finished my gloves

Now I need an obnoxious amount of calibration for my chest piece and I'll, by my standards, be good to go

Fucking Prov gear loves to troll me

[oak prawn]

actaully my coyotes mask is fully maxed minus the mod i have on

[novel laurel]

Yea raid exotics from bosses are so damn rare

I got 3 max chd mods hehe

[oak prawn]

the 1 i have rn is only 12.3

[sleek drift]

RIP

[novel laurel]

The worst is getting mods 1% off

[novel laurel]

12 is max?

[oak prawn]

i had that happen to my memento

granted i never use my ememnto

[oak prawn]

i meant 10.3

[novel laurel]

Yea I don’t really use it as much as I thought I would

[sleek drift]

I wish I could give my spare to my friend

Wasteful breaking it down

[oak prawn]

its good for solo but thats about it

i see it ran alot in CD

[unreal swan]

Can we drop exos in the countdown or is it bugged too?

[novel laurel]

Ahhh

They should be able to drop but I haven’t seen any drop post update, granted I’ve been pretty much exclusively on floor 10

Ran 5-6 matches and DCed twice

[oak prawn]

memento looks damm cool though

[novel laurel]

I agree, I wish we could skin normal gear with the exotics

All the btsu exotic pieces we have

[oak prawn]

i almost had a godroll cath mask 170 k + armor 20% + incoming repairs and +4,601 armor regen first 2 attrubites were pre rolled

i had to opt the armor regen

[novel laurel]

Oh yea I got mine god rolled when it first dropped

Never used it too much outside of a system corrupt build I ran

[brazen mountain]

I suck at getting god rolled stuff so I just optimize everything I get

[oak prawn]

cath mask is good but not an all purpose peice

[sleek drift]

the catheter mask

Oh hey another babyface vest

[brazen mountain]

Just gotta wait for the event to be about to use it

[sleek drift]

Lmao I crashed

Based

At least the unplayable stuttering I kept experiencing went away

I was actually really fucking sad because I loved the game

[summer frost]

F I don't have a single true son bounty

[sleek drift]

I have an excessive amount in Constitution Hall

The only place I ever get TS bounties

It's like all of them default there

[summer frost]

I'm reset CP and see if I can Spawn a hostage situation

[sleek drift]

Ye, that's my go to for when I need resources or farming loot zones

I spent almost all day farming Battery Park for Prov yesterday and just kept doing excessive amounts of bounties

Keeps it interesting for me anyways

blind fire
perfectly beaming me at 50m

gtfo

[summer frost]

Yeah I won't get the project done before the weekly reset so fuck it

[jagged prism]

which project?

[summer frost]

The weekly one that needs 5 Tru sons bounty

[jagged prism]

ahh

[oak prawn]

Ngl the non named version of bakers dozen is actually good for dps im doing over 1.5 mill crit per hit

[sleek drift]

Ya

Classic M1A is classic

[oak prawn]

I could get that up with if I wanted to

But im still tryna find a rifle with strained on it to extract

[sleek drift]

Fair

I found a decently rolled FAMAS with fast hands on it

like 12% and 8% dttoc

This thing is wrecking

Controllable too, I'm firing almost 5-10 round bursts at heads and they drop

Ofc PGC is probably amplifying it

[cerulean sparrow]

Do yall know if the chiilout mask is still in the loot pool.

[oak prawn]

I run olberiate

[sleek drift]

Ye I have my chest set so I can modify it to either Obliterate or Unbreakable

It's a unicorn rolled item for me if I can juggle the talent

[jagged prism]

probably but only during winter "christmas"

there was an update or 2 previously where it just dropped when it shouldn't have

[cerulean sparrow]

Yeah I read that but idk if it's still in it. I've been running countdown like crazy. Cause someone on Google mentioned u could only get it there

[full zinc]

👆

It's a christmas item. Along with sleigher smg

[cerulean sparrow]

Alright thank u. Guess I'll have to wait til Christmas lol

[jagged prism]

nods you ever run open world have a guy shoot you with a pistol and wave at you?

[cerulean sparrow]

No😂

[jagged prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRChj2qVQdE

[cerulean sparrow]

Is that a thing😂

[jagged prism]

christmas time he'll have a santa hat on, off christmas he just appears and hits you with a pistol and wave both arms at you

[sleek drift]

Sounds like a chill dude

[jagged prism]

right?!

[sleek drift]

I'm more malignant when I do innocently trollish shit

Though my friend shoots unexploded backpacks and shit when I walk past them to blow me up

[cerulean sparrow]

Wow I can't wait to kill one😂

[jagged prism]

nods clanmate "you see that lost?" me"what?" but i can see what they're talking about

and i pretend i don't see it until he opens his discord stream and i'm "oh thought you were asking me look at something else"

[cerulean sparrow]

Thanks for the info and video yall have a gn

[jagged prism]

that's me XD

or purposely shoot he confuse or riot pack when they're near him and watch as his armor disappear with a graze of a bullet

then i uber/doordash him a new pair of boxers lol

[sleek drift]

Lmfao I btfo'd the memorial hunter

He even had BTSU fighting the both of us

That's 4 down

[jagged prism]

lucky (> <)

[sleek drift]

Just bait them into a foam nade and spam M1A at their head

Curious how I handle the two

[celest marten]

Any news on TU 16.1 ETA?

[low flame]

Coming out sometime. Could be tomorrow or in 10 years

[potent lava]

keep disconnecting it saying "delta" or some shit

[novel laurel]

It’s a known error, happens a lot on PC, I’m sure some of the other pc players can try to help you with fixes till the patch comes out

[jagged prism]

if it ever comes out XD

[fast phoenix]

If I just did the iron horse raid for hte projects, then completed the projects and now im on the final project where I collect parts from each boss, will it work if I do it again?

or do I have to wait for reset?

[glacial tree]

youl have to wait for the reset

[fast phoenix]

oh ok

[glacial tree]

you can get the part from the final box if you have the keys to open it, but its quite useless

[pliant sentinel]

whats a good talent for the gr9

[novel laurel]

@pliant sentinel steady handed

[pliant sentinel]

its pretty accurate already aint it

[hardy wraith]

for some reason i have been having the most trouble dropping a god roll glove / holster

[potent lava]

how long is the eagle bearer raid?

[smoky stag]

steadyhanded isnt about accuracy more than it is about not having to reload at all, but only really useful for high HP/armor enemies that take a while to kill.
example: tidal basin generators on legendary

[potent lava]

i really need a pvp build i have a shit ton of god roll stats ready to go on a build i just dont know what build i wanna get yet

[pliant sentinel]

👍 lemme put it on when i get a better GR9

[potent lava]

and the eagle bearer seems like a good match with heartbreaker and i already have heartbreaker build

[frozen meadow]

20 exotic components to get from 20 to 21 expertise WTF

[timber hatch]

It's stupid

[novel laurel]

Good thing I have 116 saved

[frozen meadow]

youll be using all of that on one item

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+20

[novel laurel]

Yup

Probably regulus

[frozen meadow]

75 exotic components per item

[pliant sentinel]

which is why i just leave it at 1%

[unkempt arch]

is TD2 worth getting into this late?

[pliant sentinel]

all i need

[potent lava]

can i get kingbreaker from countdown with AR targeted loot?

i seen it was a reward for the season levels but its not anymore

[novel laurel]

You can get it from targeted loot

[cerulean hatch]

Just depends on how long your group takes to do it.

[odd drift]

Where I live I need a division agent

My city is crazy 💀

[novel laurel]

13m for me

[past ridge]

No mainte today agents?

[azure lintel]

Bonjour suis-je le seul à ne pas pouvoir acheter le schéma de la petite abeille malgré qu'elle soit en ma possession.Merci.

[potent lava]

bro google says 2 hours😂

is there maintenance soon?

[novel laurel]

We run it fast 🤷🏽‍♂️

Some do it faster😄

[cerulean hatch]

13m is pretty quick and most groups - especially a group that’s going for keys - will never be able to complete it that quickly. I’d say expect it to be somewhere between 30min-1 hour for your first DH attempt. If you’re in a lesser experienced group, then yes, it could definitely be upwards of 2 hours.

[novel laurel]

You’re so humble

[low lily]

DH is really fast

And it's pretty easy even for newer peeps

[novel laurel]

Especially when lunar is running it🤣

[cerulean hatch]

That’s under different circumstances when I’m speedrunning it with my clan haha typically my lfgs are average completion times.

[sick laurel]

mans so humble 🙏

[novel laurel]

“Average” he says

[low lily]

30min is average tho

[cerulean hatch]

Correct. My standard DH raid runs are typically upwards of 30min.

[low lily]

Let's also not forget how long it took peeps, to actually get close to those 10min times

Everything below 1h imo is good, not everyone needs to be speedrunners

[novel laurel]

I agree

Took me a 12+ hour raid and over 50 people to finish the quest for my regulus

Think it was closer to 16 tbh

[low lily]

Damn

[storm cove]

I still haven't completed tidal or manning legendary yet,back at it tonight

[potent lava]

getting a group for dark hours is seeming to be a challenge...

[brittle charm]

can any 1 open safe house 4 me ??

[green night]

i cant find anything about maintenance tonight. Are we expecting one?

[fair lake]

No maintenance. No 16.1 fix patch. Nothing

[knotty quail]

Disappointed but not surprised

[green night]

That face you make when you expect nothing and are still disappointed.,

[vapid breach]

I feel that

[fair lake]

Fun Fact - The Division 2 is one of the games which doesn't allow you to get premium currency from the premium version of the season pass. You must buy a new one every time it's released

[rich shadow]

You don't need to buy it at all

[fair lake]

I know. As I said - fun fact 🙂

[rich shadow]

You bought it tho right

[lone valve]

Any maintenance for the league?

Since nothing was announced I assume not?

[fair lake]

Not yet. Waiting for the 2000 + 1000 + outfit offer. I bought the similar bundle with a mask, and it was enough for 2 years (1-4 seasons + re-roll 5-8 seasons)

[elder onyx]

Fine. I'll say it. Since no one else will. Glass cannon is shit. You ain't doing damage if you're dead. I don't give a rats ass what the range says. Fight me. You put on glass cannon and I'll run anything else. You die I'm still up and useful.

[rich shadow]

for PVP its not good, PVE its great though

[rich shadow]

smarts

[elder onyx]

Its absolute shit.

[keen spade]

wtf 1 hour target times for leagues

[elder onyx]

Any other combo can get you damn near as much damage with out the debuff, AND you don't die as much which make you actually be useful.

Again, you ain doing damage DEAD!!!

Stay alive, and do something or DO BIG numbers and die from someone looking at you sideways.

Glass cannon is shit.

[gusty dove]

never really seen a good use for GC tbh other than Oxi build maybe

[elder onyx]

Its absolute shit.

Ill say it as long as I play this game.

[crystal copper]

Who's here?

[desert storm]

Have they removed using textiles to buy clothing item's?

[pliant sentinel]

did the vendors reset?

[low lily]

Have run it more than 2 years in pvp, i am doing good so 🤣🤣 end of the day it depends of aim, if the bulletking does like 500k crit headshots to people they don't have much time to react to anything

Not bulletking, what's the new ar

I forgot the name 🤣🤣

[potent lava]

need advice #td2-build-advice thanks!!!

[pliant sentinel]

pulse rifle

[rich shadow]

Kingbreaker?

[low lily]

Yeah kingbreaker

[potent lava]

so when i add stats from library to a piece of gear, i can only add one stat to each pice of gear?

or one core attribute and one stat?

[gusty dove]

can only change 1 core 2nd core or talent of that gear

[heavy ocean]

Srsly even target time in Time trial is bugged? Target Time - 1h in Roosevelt Island

[exotic frigate]

^ same with manning zoo

[heavy ocean]

lol

[azure lintel]

Anyone down to grind Jefferson trade for coyote mask? I’m on heroic level btw.

[pliant sentinel]

no need, do summit mask targeted

[azure lintel]

Word

[cerulean hatch]

Personally, I don’t think it’s a shit talent. It definitely isn’t the best talent in the game that is suitable for every bit of content that the game offers but for certain situations and set ups, it definitely is a very good talent to use if you are familiar with the spawns and behaviour of the ads in certain activities in the game such as the raids.

[mental bison]

I want to scream

I nonstop get mg5s

[elder onyx]

You ain't doing damage if you're dead, and heroic and Lego, you're dead unless you're not.

With grenade spam... it's useless.

[cerulean hatch]

You’re going off the assumption that any player using glass cannon will automatically be dead the whole time. Yes, you will receive more damage when running the talent but it does not automatically imply that all players running it will always be dead.

[exotic frigate]

use decoy, turret or drone to get aggro off of yourself?

[elder onyx]

I'll quote you "receive more damage" whatever you deal assume it's double. That's how it works.

[cerulean hatch]

As I mentioned early, it would most definitely be unwise to run GC in all content offered in the game such as Legendaries. But that doesn’t automatically make it an useless talent.

[elder onyx]

I'll say it again. It aint worth the debuff.

[cerulean hatch]

Right, but just cause you receive more damage doesn’t mean you’re necessarily dead.

There are many situations where the debuff won’t even affect you if you kill the spawns before they even get a chance to touch you.

[reef reef]

if you can use it well, and remember that oneshot protection is a thing, its not bad.

if you play badly enough to be dead the whole time, yeah, not the greatest

[elder onyx]

Double damage taken is not worth a little more damage out.

[reef reef]

not just a "little more damage", glass cannon and by extension, perfect glass cannon is one of the highest damage buffs in the game

[safe wraith]

Starting to seem just a little bit like a skill issue

[cerulean hatch]

It’s definitely not just “a little more” damage out. Glass cannon enables certain builds to shine in certain scenarios such as pistol gunslinger one shots.

[reef reef]

if you dont want to use it thats fine, i dont care what you use, never have. But outright saying its shit and not worth using is disingenuous

[elder onyx]

Spotter/flatline, and I live to tell the tale as opposed to I have that useless stat and im dead and getting carried.

[limber wasp]

i just returned after a long pause, are there any guides or videos i can refer to on what to do? last time i played i cleared wony, got lvl 40 and stopped there.

[elder onyx]

Glass cannon is shit.

[reef reef]

No need to be like that.

[safe wraith]

Skill issue

[cerulean hatch]

Spotter/flatline is something that requires pulsed enemies to use. Glass cannon is automatically in effect as long as you just have the talent on.

[reef reef]

And GC applies to all your damage, which makes it great for skill damage builds.

[safe wraith]

Also more dmg

I mean, imagine not being on the floor after taking a pistol shot on achilles, usually I would be on the floor and getting carried

[elder onyx]

Tech support with kenetic momentum and En-Sync, While im STILL ALIVE beats your GC BS and now I have to take my squishy ass over to pick your dead ass up off the ground.

[safe wraith]

That's true friendship

[elder onyx]

Oh and Im still top DPS on the end of mission thing. BECAUS IM ALIVE AND YOU ARE DEAD.

[reef reef]

No need to yell, and you are also incorrect

[safe wraith]

Yes, I am dead. Because probably friendly fire

[cerulean hatch]

Again, you’re just assuming that if a player runs GC, they’re automatically a dead agent. Doesn’t make sense to just assume that. There are many players that run for example, the Iron Horse or Dark Hours raids entirely on GC and don’t die a single time.

[elder onyx]

Aspect, I challenge you.

[safe wraith]

Fake speedruns

[elder onyx]

Lunar, You too.

[safe wraith]

GC players are dead immediately

[reef reef]

Glass cannon is all damage, amplified.
Tech Support is total skill damage.
If you dont understand the difference, i'd suggest you stop this argument.

[elder onyx]

Pick a mission, Pick a scenario, You run GC and Ill pick up your slack.

[reef reef]

I'm not engaging in a dick measuring contest with someone who doesnt know what they are talking about, and is being impetuous.

[safe wraith]

Mission operation iron horse

[elder onyx]

You aint doing damage when your dead, Homie.

[low lily]

Then don't get hit?

[safe wraith]

GC makes you automatically die

[reef reef]

If you are playing GC correctly you dont get hit.

[safe wraith]

You're just dead

[acoustic stratus]

Situational imo, I use GC in both Raids and on my skill builds where you play from cover most of the time.

[reef reef]

Stop. You arent helping, you are just making this more annoying to deal with.

[safe wraith]

This is why I hate raid speedrunners with a passion

[low lily]

PGC is amazing talent if used correctly, if you die with it all the time, then it's your skill issue nothing else

[cerulean hatch]

I don’t see any need to engage in a contest with you lol I’m just trying to explain that different talents have different use cases and is not automatically shit just cause it has a potential drawback.

[elder onyx]

I usually run Legos with skills. one hit and Im down. If I ran GC, Id be dead and my skills wouldn't be dealing any damage.

[low lily]

Haven't people solod legendary with PGC full red dps builds?

[cerulean hatch]

Like I said, legendaries aren’t the only available content in the game. There are many other things that benefit off of a talent like GC when used correctly.

[rich shadow]

they probably have. I used focus instead but its doable. You will die a lot trying tho

PGC is great for burst damage. If you run with a decent CC player PGC is fine

[low lily]

I tried first week when legendaries came out, i got the boss room on district union but the boss was hard as hell

After that i was too lazy to try, now i would totally do it easy thp

[elfin hazel]

full red pgc legendary would be a challenge and a half but definitely more than doable

[bitter wraith]

I need 9425 countdown points for 65 optimizaton caches for 321 field recon data

Rip my character 💀

[elder onyx]

take less DPS and live and you will do more damage.

[bitter wraith]

Thats 15 hrs of countdown

Nonstop...

[rich shadow]

kill things quickly before they can kill you and you will also live

[elfin hazel]

best defense in this game typically is the best offense

[elder onyx]

Die and wipe the party more often and Ill... never mind, this is a public forum...

[bitter wraith]

Which is better: dz landmarks even though 80% chance of not completing 90% of them because of sweats or completing a minimum of 236 countdowns but potentially only 60 if i finish all of them and kill all hunters in every one

[safe wraith]

that's why we should use spotter for dch 😋

[rich shadow]

different opinions are great. But trying to say that its a bad thing is purely subjective. With practice PGC is awesome

imo

[elder onyx]

Sacrifice is appropriately named... FOR THE REST OF THE PARTY.

[rich shadow]

haha, ok pal. you do you.

[elder onyx]

I'll do me. But if I see you wearing that, I'm out.

[reef reef]

Take a chill pill, man.

[elder onyx]

It's the reason why I quit playing healer.

[bitter wraith]

Are mass dz landmarks faster than mass countdowns?

[lofty bone]

darpa time trial is so wack man

[exotic frigate]

just got 13min on darpa using lady death

[elder onyx]

Im down for a group run, as long as you're not using GC

[marble river]

@cerulean hatch it ain't hh therefore gc is shit 😡

[knotty quail]

I wish every time you're in a group someone has GC

[elder onyx]

Im not picking you up, nor carrying you either.

[full zinc]

oh jeeze. tf you on about pgc. nobody probably want to join you anyways

[elder onyx]

i wish you'd step on a lego.

[knotty quail]

I would rather you not be there at all, makes my job easier

[elder onyx]

I genuinely wish you a wonderful day!

[knotty quail]

Why thanks, you too ❤️

[cerulean hatch]

True, HH is indeed my personal favourite chest talent.

[elder onyx]

HH is Head hunter?

[marble river]

Nah
Hot Hands

[elder onyx]

Oh I got some hot hands for you. LOL

I have a chainkiller sniper build. but im not all that good with it.

[tropic compass]

1 hour to complete manning and Roosevelt for the league this week? Damn devs being generous

[midnight lotus]

Based

No more 18 minute league for manning

[lofty bone]

noticed that too, was thinking damn did it take that long just to finish it normally?

[gusty dove]

trig league patch looking nice ngl

[mental bison]

Man the pointman chest piece is perfect

Shiled is allready busted

[polar chasm]

Does the Ongoing directive gets fixed for the Bullet King? it only get 100 ammo and not the full clip

[normal timber]

coz don't forget they also gave you rifle damage in place of AR damage

[frozen meadow]

Probably does to avoid exploitation lol

[polar chasm]

if the bullet king only gets 100 ammo, wonder what the other LMG`s get with a clip above 100, not tested it yet

[frozen meadow]

Probably the normal half the mag because of how much you have to sacrifice to get there

[polar chasm]

so basicly nothing changed for the LMg`s then

[frozen meadow]

Pretty much, BK is prolly an exception

Just like the double barrel SG is to mag cap increase

[polar chasm]

they might aswell put the exceptions in the patch notes for these talent changes, so we know its not a bug or something

[frozen meadow]

It's not a talent change

Technically the BK has a 100 round mag if I'm not mistaken

[wise basalt]

is there a backpk trophy for completing tidal legendary?

[frozen meadow]

Yes

[polar chasm]

irc it was that you needed to pickup the ammo and now you get it after the kill, not sure when that change was then

[frozen meadow]

When you kill a status effected enemy your team gets half their mag as hollow-point rounds

[wise basalt]

what's the trophy? I beat it, but it was locked when I played it

[frozen meadow]

Then you didn't get the trophy

You can't beat it when it's locked and get the clear rewards

[wise basalt]

just saw a picture of it, "hover" looks like a mini fan lame

[frozen meadow]

I like it

[tropic compass]

Imagine year 5 is the end of division 2 and during year 6/2024 they announce division 3

[cyan hornet]

What should I be doing with my extra exotics?

[full zinc]

Break them down for components

Only source of them

[cyan hornet]

Thx

[gusty dove]

or dz, apparently opening chests there give exotic components too

[mental bison]

I got component from fighting one of the named bosses on capitol

[urban aspen]

If u die in the Dz. Do u die permanently?

On HC

[reef reef]

any death is a death

[slow snow]

How does exotic farming work? Like what’s the drop chances and good places to farm?

[sleek drift]

kill shit, exotic drops

[full zinc]

I was not aware. Nice👍

[delicate ginkgo]

Currently highest drop rate is in DZ. However there are other ways for instance running heroic CD will give you roughly 200+ credits so run 1-2 and buy exotic cache. Otherwise go kill things on highest difficulty you are comfortable with and they drop from any NPC

[full zinc]

The ge starting next week will be a good source of exotic caches

[strange pollen]

So, did anything change with Countdown? Saw that they changed the difficulties

[celest marten]

They made the Leagues… way too easy now

[delicate ginkgo]

New difficulties, new modifiers, and changed where loot drops from hunters think maybe one or two other things

[strange pollen]

Well, it's a hunter, you should get loot from them regardless

[delicate ginkgo]

The first hunters still drop things but it’s been reduced while end hunters drop more to push people to finish the CD

[wet gate]

so nothing got fixed lol

[strange pollen]

Eh, fair I guess

[timber hatch]

Farming floor 10 during an event to buy exotic caches is one of the top methods, but nothing can really bet the method of creating a new character, boosting to 30, and completing the weekly donate project. It's 1 exotic every 8ish minutes

[wet gate]

my closer chest piece still only one atribute

[full zinc]

It will until 16.1

[delicate ginkgo]

They haven’t done the update to 16.1

[wet gate]

well that sucks lol

when is update anyone know

[full zinc]

Probably next week when they server down for apparel/ge .
Well 🤞

[wet gate]

thanks

[sleek drift]

I want my almost fully optimized FAMAS back alrdy

Using a lesser optimized one and it shreds

I'm at a fraction of my power

[gusty dove]

@full zinc from a video > https://being-ratelimited.is-bad.com/9sNvwiz.png which also shows he gets them from the dz checkpoint chest

[strange pollen]

Still seems that the HB vest is still the hardest thing to mod and change the look of

[weary iron]

We should get penetrable cover in the next Division

[sleek drift]

yeah fuck airbursts lemme just tac 50 ppl thru cover

[gusty dove]

😂

[sleek drift]

get tac 50'd*

[delicate ginkgo]

Nobody knows when update is as of right now

[sleek drift]

The sheer rage moments I have when I get cornered by BTSU and they're lobbing airbursts at me and I forget to kill the assault and I get flashbanged

Maybe add a doggo with a sniper for good measure

[gusty dove]

god no pls

remove dogs and well be good to go

[sleek drift]

Dogs liven it up for me actually, I rage hard when shit like that happens but I'd be lying if I didn't enjoy the bullshit / the challenge

My friend is low level / undergeared and it essentially fell to me to fight 3 rogues and that was fun

He cleaned up after I got them all relatively within killing range (no armor) and he almost went down multiple times

[mental bison]

We need blunderbuss

Just like founding fathers intended

[sleek drift]

bloody knuckles should be bear arms, so I can actually bear arms

[mental bison]

Nah

Mele weapons are for nerds

[gusty dove]

90 out of 100 apparel items collected with like 10510 textiles sitting.. this game doesnt like me 😂

ofcourse manning has to be invaded for the league ffs

[tender wave]

Toggle mission mode on the floating options screen at the start of the mission if you just want to run the non-invaded version

[coral pier]

is today reset day?

[tender wave]

Yup

[coral pier]

oof

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pillow-bite-angry-angry-cat-gif-25541136

[tender wave]

All your characters, inventories and achievements have been reset to 0. Muwahahaha

[timber hatch]

im down

[silver ridge]

they mentioned that we are able to buy the hunter loadout with textiles but it seems like i cant buy anything with it nor can i find the outfit, is it bugged or not out yet?

[tender wave]

Not out yet

[silver ridge]

aah alr, ty

[coral pier]

can't seem to buy much with textiles sadly

[gusty dove]

was disabled due to a bug

[coral pier]

the entire gamee disables from bugs

[ember lagoon]

Hopping back in the division world looking for somebody who’s willing to show me the ropes I played the game before when it first came out that was a while ago so I still have like the old gear

[rich shadow]

please stream this. Either that or let me join you too and i'll also run PGC 🙂 @elder onyx

[delicate ginkgo]

Yes please stream

[crystal copper]

Guys

[wet igloo]

?

[crystal copper]

In season which level you are?

[wet igloo]

14

[crystal copper]

@wet igloo interesting

[wet igloo]

How so?

[crystal copper]

14

I though you gonna farm

[wet igloo]

I’m attempting to

But I’m farming builds more than the season

[knotty wave]

Me and a buddy are trying to match make the raid. But it only gives us the discovery option... What's that about? I thought you couldn't get exotics in discovery?

[low lily]

Discover is only mm

And exotics are only normal

[knotty wave]

How do I matchmake into normal?

[low lily]

Raid needs communication and that wouldn't happen with matchmaking groups

You use lfg channels

[knotty wave]

Ok

[low lily]

Or communicate clans like [BAD] who does carry/helping raids, who will help you to get exotics

[gusty dove]

98

[tepid briar]

What do people usually buy from the countdown Vendor ?

[gusty dove]

depends if there's anything good

[tepid briar]

anything good?

or is it a skip

[gusty dove]

imo skip

[karmic condor]

Hey, I started the game not long ago and im now at Washington, I would like to know what is the best way to level up your SHD ?

[azure lintel]

I like to do sleeping giant cp over and over

[full zinc]

Summit floor 10

[azure lintel]

Either that or resource convoys

[full zinc]

Yt it for process

[azure lintel]

With a status build

[pliant trout]

is the roosevelt mission bugged for the league

[azure lintel]

The whole game is bugged

[pliant trout]

the hardest time is an hour

[azure lintel]

D2 is so broken

[full zinc]

Take the W😅

[azure lintel]

Idk if they fixed it yet

[brazen mountain]

Good of the mornings everyone

[pliant trout]

darpa is the hardest

[azure lintel]

Mornin

[pliant trout]

did pentagon with over 10 mins but the darpa boss is the worst boss in the game

[brazen mountain]

I haven’t seen anyone say the pentagon boss is the worst

But I guess

[pliant trout]

not pentagon

darpa

pentagon boss is alright its just the quadcopter

[brazen mountain]

Isn’t the darpa labs build on the pentagon?

[pliant trout]

yh but different name

its brenner for dapra

[brazen mountain]

Oh well I’m thinking if the wrong boss

I haven’t been to the pentagon since I started the game

Last time I went there it was to help a friend with a mission

[strange pollen]

Well, first thoughts in Countdown, if you get the wrong buffs, you're fucked.

[pliant trout]

nah, if you get the right ones its a cakewalk, getting the wrong ones just means the hunters are harder

[strange pollen]

And...my heartbreaker build seems to be hitting less than 500k a shot, all red so...somethings up there

[pliant trout]

bug with ars giving rifle instead of ar damge

[strange pollen]

Gross, really?

[pliant trout]

yh check your main attribute on your primary

[gusty dove]

i just run a couple blue on my heartbreaker + rock n' roll

[pliant trout]

kingbreaker i guess?

[strange pollen]

Was using a police M4 with Flatline

[full zinc]

Its random bug too. Same model can hav rifle and another ar damage

[strange pollen]

Yeah, so doesn't benefit from set bonus that's screwed

[pliant trout]

if its looted ater tu16 its alright

if before then its bugged

[strange pollen]

So...all my ARs gotta go in the bin?

[pliant trout]

nah they gonna patch it

[strange pollen]

Well, at least I picked up a groll Ctar in that botched run of countdown

Has AR damage

[open comet]

So let's get this straight..

There was a new patch - TU16

It breaks the game in multiple ways including rolling Rifle DMG on ARs then 1 week later on the Tuesday no patch to fix that?

And u guys want us to play your game?

Each and every patch something is messed up, TU16 is PTS Phase 3 except they made it the live game.

Really really quite atrocious I must say.

[strange pollen]

And loot's lessened on countdown, potentially I haven't seen a difference other than less ads dropping jack

Even at the end

[pliant trout]

loot isnt lessened

just no drops for the first set of hunters

bc people would leave after them

but now means if u delta or crash you get non of the named items from them

[timber hatch]

Don't trash anything that has been bugged, it will likely be fixed even if it's taking longer than it should

[strange pollen]

...you gotta be kidding me. Ctar doesn't take underbarrels apart from two.

[ember lagoon]

Anyone willing to help

[vapid breach]

With what?

[ember lagoon]

I had a game when it first came out with the beta it’s been a long time I put the game on pause it looks like there’s a Lotta new stuff new gear was seeing if anybody could walk me through break down something’s

[vapid breach]

Ah! I just woke up so not feeling talkative yet, but maybe later!

Um what is this why does manning have an HOUR

bruh, who can’t run manning on hard in under an hour

[ember lagoon]

Okay, cool. Appreciate the reply.

[vapid breach]

Ugh, they just kill the fun of the time trials. This is so poop

[tender wave]

Manning usual time limit is 17 mins iirc (on hard or challenging) - should you wish to test yourself! It used to be one of the tougher ones...

[pliant trout]

and no heroic time trials

[tender wave]

Not for years now

[vapid breach]

And I was good at it! My highest was just over 15, so I was so excited to get into lobbies and help out.

[pliant trout]

kinda sad tbh and that the only challenges i dont do for the leagues are the status effect ones

[vapid breach]

I could see 20 minutes, but dang an HOUR

[pliant trout]

and an hour for hard roosevelt

an hour should be the time for 1 medal

let alone 10

[vapid breach]

Exactly

[tender wave]

It's got to be a mistake, they put in 1 hour as a placeholder value or something and forgot to update

[vapid breach]

Like 20 minutes is reasonably accessible for newer players, and if not, they can reach out for assistance which leads to more inter-community engagement

[pliant trout]

why so many hard missions though when next to everyone is max shd or getting to max expertise

[strange pollen]

Yeah, not having a good experience with countdown this week, all of that loot at the end, wasted cos no time to secure it, without getting domed by hunters

[tender wave]

That's normal, gives everyone a reasonable chance of getting a few points (even if they can't hit 10) - there are still quite a few weaker players out there. Plus speedrunning on Hard is fun, chatterbox never has to reload

[strange pollen]

And anyone that did b line it for the loot, got demolished anyway

[pliant trout]

countdown would be better if it wasnt the main place for the best loot

[tender wave]

Should see all the complaints recently about the manhunt bounty not going below 'challenging' difficulty, some people just can't cope

[pliant trout]

havent seen any tbh

but i dont look far from this discord

[strange pollen]

Isn't that what the default difficulty used to be back at the start of seasons?

[tender wave]

Official forums is where I've seen a few

[pliant trout]

i find challenging the most fun difficulty anyway

[tender wave]

If you regularly shepherd you also often run into players with very little game sense or build sense

[strange pollen]

I agree, heroic for xp grind obviously, but challenging is a good warmup if you want to screw around with niche builds

[pliant trout]

sheperding is one of the best parts of the game

just dont get many calls for help

[tender wave]

Yesterday they were non stop and all story mode players - good to see new players still joining

[strange pollen]

Been tempted to try it but I've lost my faith ever since I ran dark hours on discovery

[tender wave]

Haha

[pliant trout]

discovery is hell

[strange pollen]

Used to think THAT was the best way to get xp

[pliant trout]

more likely to complete it sola

solo

[strange pollen]

If there wasn't too many yellow bars and gold gun was a thing yeah probably

[pliant trout]

need spec weapons to be usable again

[strange pollen]

Just spinning the Regulus lined up for a one tap Lucy hit

[pliant trout]

need a release date for the spec rework

[strange pollen]

I feel like I'm hitting weaker with my HB build in countdown

Of course I made the switch with using an LMG but still, the numbers seem a little too low for a red HB

Or are LMGs just not a good substitute for ARs?

[vapid breach]

More new players again at least over here. We’ve had the WONY sale twice in like two months

[mental bison]

I can finnaly do hard landmarks

[dusk flower]

I know when I was playing 2 years ago I quit because I couldn’t even get groups matchmaking. Started playing again last week and it’s been way more active

[mental bison]

Games kinda dead for newer players

Its mw2 situatuon mostly the higher lvl ppl play

[vapid breach]

I’m surprised you would say that. I currently come in more contact with new players than high level shds

Unless I’m playing heroic countdown (and they probably just kicked them) or legendary (also kicked)

[mental bison]

Idk i matchmake for stuff from 23 to beyond and nothing

Didnt get anyone for strongholds

[vapid breach]

Oh, see I meant NYC. A lot of people skip to NYC nowadays

[mental bison]

A

Funny enough i did get some ppl in nyc

Just finsihed it

Doing some dz now

[vapid breach]

Yup! I don’t enjoy playing below nyc for backups. Kinda pointless since it’s like a one bullet kill even with a future initiative set on. So boring

[vapid breach]

Fascinating that you would choose to do that. How’s that going for ya 👀

[mental bison]

Did hard landmark without dying and got showed in a locker by a duo

[mental bison]

Aamzing 2 dz where rouges and bunch of ppl are just outside the doors

Is this what higher lvl dz look like ?

[low lily]

Majority time if people wanna pvp they chill Infront of a cp door

[azure lintel]

Dz is lame

Darpa in under 15 is also lame

[sleek drift]

sKiLl IsSuE

[mental bison]

Also whats thr diffrence between red landmark and purple ?

[elfin hazel]

red means a player is attacking the landmark

[mental bison]

Ooooh

Im so happy i can melt yellow bars in dz now

[devout epoch]

cool

[brazen mountain]

Very nice improvement

[mental bison]

Right ?

Think i can solo challange but im not shure yet

[brazen mountain]

Well your definitely stronger than before

[mental bison]

I really hope i get a new pointman

[oak prawn]

I'm 1 kill away from reaching SHD level 500 but I'm lazy

[slender tartan]

grab an energy drink and chug it down

it will help

[gusty dove]

what i do too tbh

[oak prawn]

Too lazy to find a red bar

[slender tartan]

Monster energy had at some point a delivery service where a frickin' monster truck came to your house to deliver it

[gusty dove]

only got redbull here unfortunately

[brisk bridge]

That is some insane laziness

[fair lake]

division tweet saying Busy Bee is a WEAPON SKIN.... lmao

[oak prawn]

Best I got is a mtn dew

[slender tartan]

That can work too I guess
I know people say ya shouldnt but I'm chuggin' down sugary energy drinks to wake up after work to play the game

[knotty quail]

Just be awake bro /s

[gusty dove]

coffee and redbull for me 👌

[sleek drift]

I've been sluggish all day

About to knock back a second coffee and get annoyingly hyper

[clever creek]

I am once again making a proposition. If you leave countdown you should get a matchmaking ban for an hour or so. Tired of people leaving because they died to the double hunter spawn at start

[brisk bridge]

The sugar crash will be terrible.

[clever creek]

Wasn't even 2 minutes in and there was only 4 people left in the countdown

[oak prawn]

Man I'm 4 cups of coffee in

[clever creek]

I am 2

[sleek drift]

I haven't drank it in a while and 2 is enough to make my heart pound

[clever creek]

2 in

[oak prawn]

I'm a coffee addict

[gusty dove]

same

[sleek drift]

I try to limit how much I consume

Too jittery otherwise

[oak prawn]

Without my coffee I become unpleasant

[sleek drift]

Lmao, I'm worse when I wake up

Just really snippy / tempermental

[gusty dove]

relatable, or without redbull.. just need to be awake / have energy

[oak prawn]

Whats energy?

[clever creek]

I drink coffee because I like it. I'm sure it's a much better vice than drinking a ton of alcohol

[oak prawn]

I have a week off work now im taking full advantage by sleeping fir most of it

Working 16 hour days doing construction

Kills you

[sleek drift]

$$$

loot goblin irl

[oak prawn]

Hey monsy keeps a roof over my head and the bills happy

[sleek drift]

Nothing wrong with it

Probably the only thing I'm loyal to is my wallet

[brisk bridge]

Freaking game crashes even when you're just chilling at the White House.

Alt-tabbed out to check some email, tab back in and move mouse, bang - crash!

[vapid breach]

Just did a countdown, only 6 of us and no one felt like they needed to do the objectives

[brisk bridge]

Let me guess: steam vents main mission?

[vapid breach]

No, turbine so the objectives weren’t even out of the way

[brisk bridge]

The bloodlust can be strong with people sometimes. MUST. KILL. EVERYONE!

[vapid breach]

So, I let it happen. While I was waiting to turn the power on for the last objective, I even got on mic. No objective, so we failed encounter.

[oak prawn]

Even the younglings

I just go in a submission and my gun gose brr

[vapid breach]

Could tell they didn’t play countdown like that despite high SHDs cause I was the only one opening boxes

[brisk bridge]

I don't know what's worse: the team randomly darting off in different directions if you don't type something in chat, or the team going to a different objective after you type something in chat.

[vapid breach]

One teammate was running eclipse with stringer hive + fire Chen

[brisk bridge]

Me: "No VIP, containment next"

Team: [runs off to VIP mission]

[vapid breach]

They do this on purpose

[fast phoenix]

Raid resets were last night right? (So if I finished the regulus project, I can go back and redo the raid for the revolver components now?

[vapid breach]

It’s ODD in adulthood lmfao

[oak prawn]

If my teammates don't know what they are doing I get 1 experienced guy to take the new people to 1 encounter I take the 2nd highest level SHD dude and we 2 man a encounter

[patent glacier]

cocainer

[vapid breach]

Why would you do that?

[fast phoenix]

For containment almost every time the two groups merge and complete the objectives together

Lol idk why or how but it always happens

[oak prawn]

Because it's faster when you have people who know what they are doing especially on heroic

[fast phoenix]

To be fair it makes it faster I think

[brisk bridge]

I've stopped doing Heroic CD. Not worth the pain.

[vapid breach]

Merging is faster

And more efficient for gear farming as well as currency farming

[fast phoenix]

And easier I feel

[oak prawn]

Most groups just kill things they dint even do the objective

[brisk bridge]

If you have a made team of 4 already, you can do well splitting up, but the problem is you don't get loot from the other location.

[fast phoenix]

Usually we have like SHD level 7000 or 10000 carrying my 182 ass

[brisk bridge]

The loot explosion is the only reason to do this.

[vapid breach]

exactly why would you lose like 1/4 of your loot

[fast phoenix]

Wait you lose loot if you don’t merge?

[oak prawn]

I just do CD to get stuff for expertise

[mental bison]

I get dogshit from accual named bosses but from basic redbar ? A ubra init bp

[fast phoenix]

I guess now I know why everyone merges lol

[vapid breach]

I’m so confused. Merging is like…always done on PlayStation

[brisk bridge]

The loot is still there; it's just lying in the other location where you're not.

[fast phoenix]

Oh right yeah

[oak prawn]

Tbh most of the loot I just de construct

[fast phoenix]

Yeah I’m my experience (I’ve only done like 10 countdowns) everyone always merges after killing the initial hunters and reactivity the buffs

Reactivating

[brisk bridge]

I offer it all up for expertise.

[vapid breach]

You can even merge before killing hunters which is also significantly more efficient

[oak prawn]

Hunters seem to be more easy

[brisk bridge]

Why give up the buffs?

And have them be used against you?

[vapid breach]

You don’t give up the buffs

8 people to 1 hunter is significantly faster

You just go through all of them together.

[brisk bridge]

OK, like that. That takes way too much coordination with randoms. 😉

[vapid breach]

Bruh y’all are tripping on pc

[brisk bridge]

And in my part of the world, I'm not even sure I'll be understood when I type something in chat.

[vapid breach]

I’m 1000% convinced you’re pulling my leg if your CDs don’t go exactly like that

[gusty dove]

cd is literally chaotic af on pc

[brisk bridge]

Zero desire to pull your leg. Done loads of CD, 95% is teams breaking off and merging at final hunter.

[vapid breach]

stunned into silence

If there is an opportunity to merge at the beginning before hunters, 80% of the time the teams will without even being prompted, another 7% after being prompted. Everyone just knows. 95% of the time we always do submissions together.

I say that with like over 500 CD matches.

[brisk bridge]

Who knew there would be such cultural differences between platforms? 😛

[oak prawn]

Ikr

[timber hatch]

Really? Basically every countdown on PC I've done everyone mostly knows to stick together

[tender wave]

not a platform thing, I'm on PC and never see teams split up (unless they go after different hunters at the very start and then merge)

[oak prawn]

We split up

[brisk bridge]

That's what they're referring to. Apparently on PS, they all merge, then take out each hunter.

[timber hatch]

Right, most people do that on PC as well

[oak prawn]

From my experience each sun groups gets 2 hunters each then we merge for encounters

[clever creek]

Honestly its not that efficient. Some four stacks can melt all the hunters before the other 4 stack finishes 1

[timber hatch]

Unless you start telling people to split up yourself lol

[clever creek]

Also the one spawn with 2 hunters nearby is royally messed up

[oak prawn]

You get like 3 people running scorpio with banshee or riot foam hunters will be melted

[brisk bridge]

Hmmm, I've generally found we end up together only at the last hunter. YMMV, I suppose. Anecdotes are not data, etc.

[brisk bridge]

Pretty much.

Except for Heroic hunters. Those %@%@ have a ton of HP.

[vapid breach]

Yes but you get more dog tags which means more currency

[oak prawn]

They are like rogues on heroic thisr armor saves them

[clever creek]

If I see a hunter running up to cover I run at him with my lady death and punch him

can't heal with me nearby

[vapid breach]

Spending 18 vs 20 minutes in countdown is so negligible. You’re not going to run out of time

[brisk bridge]

(Unless it's a long-ass VIP mission + steam vents main mission)

[vapid breach]

To be clear though because I realize everyone doesn’t play countdown all day.

We don’t merge at the first hunter unless we spawn opposite each other.

[vapid breach]

Vip is always avoidable lol

[clever creek]

Isnt vip one of the easier ones? Lol

[fast phoenix]

Is there a reason people don’t call for the helo? Usually at around 30 seconds no one has called it yet so I run all the way to the zone and shoot the flair. It’s almost the the only reason I do a tank build

[clever creek]

Its just kill stuff

[vapid breach]

You get more targeted loot from the ads that spawn from chopper

[fast phoenix]

Oh

[vapid breach]

So, no point in doing that early

[brisk bridge]

I find the issue is that sometimes, team members will just mindlessly set a waypoint for the closest objective after killing all hunters, and that can be VIP sometimes, and boom, everyone ends up at VIP.

[oak prawn]

Most people wait until 10 seconds

[clever creek]

People want to flare at 10 or 5 seconds

[fast phoenix]

So what you’re saying is I’ve been throwing everyone’s countdowns

[clever creek]

Yeah

[fast phoenix]

LOL

[oak prawn]

People are very picky at the end

[brisk bridge]

Oh, you must be reviled by your team members then. 😄

[oak prawn]

Don't mess up

[fast phoenix]

Lolll

[clever creek]

Not like they can boot you anymore

[fast phoenix]

Wait so the time left is to call the extraction

Not to actually get extracted

[clever creek]

If they were more verbal about it maybe people wouldn't flare early

[fast phoenix]

I thought it was part of it

[clever creek]

No the flare timer and extraction timer are separate

[fast phoenix]

I’m stupid
