td2-general-chat

[elfin hazel]

I'm curious as to whats gonna happen with rye though

[inner elbow]

Does it launch through Ubisoft Connect?

[azure lintel]

Guess balls n weewee are being cut off now.

[elfin hazel]

it does go through that briefly yea

[inner elbow]

Okay so same process

[azure lintel]

Byeee

Jk..

[inner elbow]

Now can you try if -nosteam works?

[lament mirage]

Yep like almost all Ubi games on steam

[desert crystal]

what do you mean by briefly

[elfin hazel]

doesnt seem to do anything

[inner elbow]

Command is probably wrong

[lament mirage]

It’s nice tho all there games is making its way over to steam tho aka the main launcher people usually use

[azure lintel]

Literally.

Who tf enjoys that Ubisoft launcher…

[lament mirage]

Huge W for Ubi

[elfin hazel]

it launches my games so its fine to me

[azure lintel]

Plus now I don’t need to login every time hopefully

[lament mirage]

It’s ok

[azure lintel]

Fair!

[lament mirage]

Slightly better than Xbox n slightly better than epic

[azure lintel]

Xbox can’t compete 💪

Dookiebox. Lol

[desert crystal]

does buying it though steam allow you to add steam friends

[azure lintel]

I’m childish

[azure lintel]

It better -_-

[lament mirage]

I noticed

[elfin hazel]

I doubt it but its possible

[azure lintel]

Even though i have 0 steam friends (:

[elfin hazel]

1 moment I'll relaunch and check steam context menus

[lament mirage]

I could be 1

[azure lintel]

Heartlands better be on steam too

[lament mirage]

🥺

[elfin hazel]

nope no steam context menus for it unsurprising

[azure lintel]

🥹

[elfin hazel]

hi buddy.........

[desert crystal]

how is it

[azure lintel]

😌😌

[elfin hazel]

idk if I'm crazy but it seems to be running smoother

[azure lintel]

😫🙏

Bless

[elfin hazel]

with higher default settings

I could be crazy which I probably am

[azure lintel]

Ubisoft can’t compete with steam i swear

[elfin hazel]

ok no I am crazy

[azure lintel]

Hopefully i can be crazy too,

[lament mirage]

U loco

[azure lintel]

I’m genuinely surprised people play d1 still 😅

[keen lily]

Does Improvised Chest & Backpack has its talents?

[elfin hazel]

no talents but extra mod slot in return

[proper oxide]

hey guys? quick question im an old player of TD2 Ultimate edition in ubisoft im planning to buy the steam version just the standard one. Is it possible that I can login my ubisoft account in my steam?

[keen lily]

alr thanks

[azure lintel]

It works (:

[proper oxide]

even if my ubisoft one is ultimate edition and I will just buy the standard in steam?

[azure lintel]

It should?

[proper oxide]

aight!

[azure lintel]

It will bind the already existing stuff, and add just base game (:

[frozen shell]

is this game worth it for 9 dollars ?

[azure lintel]

$9!!

[elfin hazel]

yes but most of the newer & endgame content is behind the dlc so get wony

[proper oxide]

okay ima try it now

[inner elbow]

I remember there was a crazy time when there were 3 dollar agents

[inner elbow]

Lemme know if it works

[frozen shell]

can i buy the base game and if I like it can I buy the WONY later?

[elfin hazel]

yes

[azure lintel]

So I had bought Ubisoft+ to get ultimate D2 a while back, Now I uninstalled that one, bought D2 on steam for $12, it works. No way!…

😭🤣

Same account too

[smoky meteor]

Mmm... I love getting rolled up on by two people with SHD Levels over 2k and getting 1 tapped while I'm just exploring the DZ. I don't even know what my PTT key is.

Thankfully I'd just extracted my gear.

[azure lintel]

Need a buddy, I can join. I gotta do this micro bounty first

[elfin hazel]

whats your username

[desert crystal]

was the pts pre load delayed

[elfin hazel]

yes

[smoky meteor]

Oh, nah, I'm good. I was just exploring. And yes Drib, I think that was me you just 1tap'd. lol

[elfin hazel]

no I'm in wh & was askin rye

[azure lintel]

My username is funkfreshbanana

[smoky meteor]

Speaking of, guess I'll just go reset CPs over and over, in hopes of the WH CPs giving me literally anything useable.

[inner elbow]

countdown

[elfin hazel]

ubisoft name

[smoky meteor]

I spent like 15 minutes trying to get into a Countdown, it didn't work. And Summit is being stingy. lol

[desert crystal]

how didnt it]

[inner elbow]

Summit is the worst method

[elfin hazel]

its not the worst its still fine even if countdown is way better

[daring herald]

Thinking about getting Div 2. (unsure which package to choose... Warlords or Warlords Ultimate Ed.) Is this the best Discord to be in for game comradery?

[smoky meteor]

Yeah, you're in the best place outside of specific clan discords afaik.

[azure lintel]

There’s no way my game just crashed 😃

[desert crystal]

oh strage

[blazing gull]

Had to buy it again on Steam ❤️

[desert crystal]

did you allready have it

[azure lintel]

Lol

[blazing gull]

Yes. Pre-ordered on Uplay

[smoky meteor]

You could have linked your game on Steam, but I'm not sure if it would have given you Steam Achievements, if there are any.

[elfin hazel]

warlords of new york edition non ultimate is likely the choice you want as most of the end game stuff is behind that

theres no achievements

[desert crystal]

how would that work

[blazing gull]

There's no achievement. I bought it on Steam cz I prefer to collect games on Steam and since I have the first on Steam so.. Even if I own the game on Steam now my previous progress will remain the same. Ultimate Edition is $17 in my region

[smoky meteor]

Oh yeah, it's on sale for super cheap on Steam.

[daring herald]

Thank you. I was going towards that.. but was unsure about the 8 exclusive classified assignment missions and instant unlocking all 6 endgame specializations. How important they are to have immediately

[elfin hazel]

not that important

[daring herald]

ty

[smoky meteor]

See, the Year 1 stuff is what made it worthwhile to get Ultimate for me.

[elfin hazel]

youd still have to go through the research to get the other rewards for them

[azure lintel]

Wait if you add my steam it’s funkfreshbanana lol

[smoky meteor]

Because I'm a cosmetic addict. lol

[azure lintel]

I should’ve mentioned that.

[azure lintel]

Me too…

[daring herald]

Good point.. how important is that Year 1 Pass thing?

[azure lintel]

I genuinely love making my characters look kewl

[smoky meteor]

Real talk, the only reason to get Ultimate is if you want to collect the skins that are exclusive to it. As long as you get the non-ultimate, you can play the full game. But if you're a cosmetic junkie, the value is up to you.

[daring herald]

👍🏻

[elfin hazel]

cannot find it

[blazing gull]

I bought the Ulimate cz $13 vs $17

[fervent berry]

Well you also get WONY at a bargain with Ultimate including the cosmetics and Year 1 stuff

[smoky meteor]

True, true.

[fervent berry]

I bought Ultimate not really for the cosmetics or the year 1, but for WONY because the DLC alone wasn't good value at full price imo

[brazen mountain]

I'd do anything for true fashion

[smoky meteor]

I will resist the urge to buy the Deluxe pack in the ingame store though. Even if I want the skins for the Drone and Shield.

[lament mirage]

I been running that recent event drip

It’s nice

[inner elbow]

White tusk outfit best outfit

I always cause my teammates to mistake me for the enemy

[daring herald]

Huh? I can get base game for $9, Warlords Edition for $18, or Warlords Ultimate Edi for $24

[inner elbow]

Shits funny af

[smoky meteor]

Yeah, it's super cheap right now on the sale. We're more talking about release.

[lament mirage]

I’d go with the ultimate

It’s usually always the better option as u get the full package

[daring herald]

Well dang.. now i got ppl saying different things. haha

[smoky meteor]

The only reason I wouldn't buy it again on Steam though is because I wouldn't have my Beta backpack hanger. lol

[fervent berry]

Yeah on its day 1 release, but always look for bargains or discounts 😂

[smoky meteor]

Honestly, I didn't know that the Steam version was 24 for Ultimate. You might as well get it all at that point since the base game is normally like 30.

[lament mirage]

Ultimate or complete editions are usually always the way to go in the long run especially like in this case the ultimate isn’t that much higher than the base

U also save money

[molten orbit]

Hey. I heard about this game recently. I'm just wondering what it is. Is it a sequel game or a DLC ? And some people described it as an MMO. Is this true?

[inner elbow]

It's a sequel to the first Division, kinda. It's a mostly PvE cooperative looter shooter

[molten orbit]

Ahh gotcha. Thanks

Is it open world or instanced game modes etc

[lament mirage]

Has open world

But then has linear missions u can run through

Also has raids n a PvP mode

[molten orbit]

Cool

Ty

[lament mirage]

Currently on sale tho n about to get another new season so good time to get into the game

[daring herald]

Also just now buying.. but I played Division 1

[daring herald]

Do Seasons cost money or free?

[lament mirage]

Kinda both

They free

But have a premium teir but it’s mostly cosmetics

The important stuff u want be from the free track

[azure lintel]

How can I play expedition?

[desert crystal]

when its open

[azure lintel]

Hmm

[old lava]

yooo whats up w dv2 dropping on steam w that big sale

[inner elbow]

Game needed more players

[brazen mountain]

Haven't played in a bit so I'm not sure how good the event drip is

Hopefully I didn't miss any true rogue outfit drip pieces

[surreal orbit]

Apparel event is over, may still be able to purchase the apparel but not sure

[inner elbow]

Nah it's gone

[brazen mountain]

I'm gonna cry

[azure lintel]

anyone played farcry 6 yet ??

[jolly harness]

If you own Division 2 on Ubisoft does it connect to the steam version or is that one separate? I just noticed it on Steam and I was wondering if it is another place to play separate from Ubisoft

[smoky meteor]

Seperate account, you still have to use UPlay.

[full oracle]

a pvp revamp for td2
i kinda think this is needed especially in dz
what do yall think

[surreal orbit]

May be needed, but prolly not gonna happen

[azure lintel]

obivously yeah, nobody is playing pvp

[lament mirage]

Yea it’s good

[azure lintel]

story is good ?

not like 5 right ??

[full oracle]

yeah true

[lament mirage]

I like it

[azure lintel]

okay ill download it

[full oracle]

yep
division 1 pvp from what ive seen is way more face paced compared to division 2
I really hope this does happen doe
the dz has soo much potential
a dz expansion would be really cool too
like undergrounds from div 1 but invadeable

[azure lintel]

there is a reason why div1 is a better game

[full oracle]

eh idk i like both

[azure lintel]

division 1 was way more fun it had more interesting stuff, in div 2 everything is all about stacking this stacking that shoot this to build stack which increases damage all basic stuff

[inner elbow]

only the newer gear sets though

[gritty pebble]

Let’s be real PvP in any Division game is buttcheeks

[low flame]

Remember strikers originated in div1

[inner elbow]

and Striker's, which existed in Div1

[azure lintel]

striker was unique 7 years ago

[gritty pebble]

Know it has nothing to do with D2 but is it possible to solo Incursions in D1?

[low flame]

Stacks are used to prevent weapons/gear from being overpowered

[azure lintel]

its a pve game doesnt matter if it is overpowered

[low flame]

Imagine a gun that could one shot anyone right away. Too powerful. Now imagine a gun that can one shot anyone after building ten stacks. Powerful but the stack building makes it less powerful

[azure lintel]

we lived in a time where everything was op classy nomad pred striker all 3 of them busted as shit but still everyone used them all equally

[low flame]

And yeah it does matter if weapons are overpowered. That means everyone will always have the best weapon and be able to clear content the speed we already can but x100

No challenge if there are op guns

The game would become really boring. Maybe satisfying to clear content easily at first but boring

The game is only fun because the game is challenging

Now here I’m not arguing about div2 I’m talking about pve games in general

[azure lintel]

i wasnt even talking about the gun, and yeah this game isnt challenging anyway lmao

[lament mirage]

Kinda is tho

[low flame]

Yeah I agree with many parts of this game being too easy. The builds we have have just become too good. That’s why I like pvp sure everyone runs the same build but the fact that I am facing human opponents makes it much harder

[lament mirage]

People struggle in countdown still , PvP n legendary content

[azure lintel]

i dont know what game yall are playing but most of the perks simply require you to shoot or get a kill

[lament mirage]

Hell heroic 4 man as well

[azure lintel]

those are clowns

[lament mirage]

So the game still is challenging

[azure lintel]

i used to struggle then i made a proper build and i dont anymore

sure their bullets are doing hell of a damage but they cant shoot their bullet if they are already dead can they

[lament mirage]

True

[azure lintel]

i couldnt find anyone to play legend summit with but then i logged in division 1 and instantly found a group for a legendary mission lmao

[cloud sage]

k

[stiff raft]

are the raids once a week for ea to get loot or nah

[surreal orbit]

Keys / resource boxes are once a week. But the last boss always drops a key so you can do the raids as many times as you want. 6 runs = 2 chances for exotics from the crate at the end. Plus someone in the group could drop exotics for you as well.

[azure lintel]

final measure would be so good in div2

[inner musk]

guys after i launched div2 my whole monitor looks dimmed or greyish, any fix?

[deep blaze]

disable HDR in the game's settings! it turns it on (or on auto) for some reason (regardless of monitor/windows settings)

[inner musk]

ah ty!

[unique summit]

oh gawd it's up on steam

hope it doesn't get review bombed too fast :[

[unkempt cedar]

Is it just my awful luck, I keep getting hunters fury with main stat damage and not armour which I need/want

[deep blaze]

there's already some reviews about the crashing, though I think so far it seems respectful, like the review itself is positive/negative independent of that and is just more like a warning pointing out to potential newcomers

[azure lintel]

Does Countdown reward specialization points?

Anyone else ever plug one side of your nose and sneeze on one side?… it feels so good

[crimson dagger]

if i buy the game on steam rn who will play with me

[surreal orbit]

Prolly better to do that outside of countdown

[azure lintel]

Me.

I need a duo 🙂

Just don’t feel like going onto voice chat though lmao.

[stoic swift]

I am restarting right now lol I havent played in years and dont remember how to

[crimson dagger]

same i tried getting into td2 multiple times but never got far

just scared to buy the game rn im kinda broke lol

[stoic swift]

gotcha well i am restarting if you wanna join lol

[azure lintel]

Pc is way better man.

3 of usv

[crimson dagger]

is wony worth

[azure lintel]

Yes

It’ll give you a level boost i think, which you go up to 30levels. With random shit. It’s nice.

[warm hinge]

Haven't checked fully but you gain 1 point for each watch level, so as long as your earning xp to level your watch yes slowly. but my recomendation do invaded each week on the easiestlevel you can to get your points that way @azure lintel

[crimson dagger]

campaign skip?

[deep blaze]

Yea that'd skip all the basegame content basically, gets you ready to get into levels 31+

[azure lintel]

Yuh

[crimson dagger]

also doesnt wony give you a watch thats good for early game

[lament mirage]

What

[azure lintel]

Lol 😂

[deep blaze]

no that's endgame at 40

I don't think getting wony is that needed tbh, you can easily get the basegame, play that, see how you like it, have fun through the campaign/plenty of basegame first, and then get the DLC if you still like it and are ready to move on after 30

wony DLC is absolutely the majority of the game's content and playerbase so if you want to do it for longer it's a must have, but also no point in buying it if you've had fun but turns out it's not your game before you're even 30

[azure lintel]

Steam is refundable but 2 hours though

[crimson dagger]

i was gonna say something but imma sound broke as hell lol

[deep blaze]

yup if you get DLC/pack right away you won't be long done with basegame before you might not be able to refund it, and if you get the DLC and skip into level 31+ that could be an option but I think that's up to you, it can be nice to experience the base campaign and all for the first time (especially when playing with others)

[crimson dagger]

just dont understand why i cant find a key thats cheaper lmao on console its like $1-$3

[azure lintel]

Lol 😂

I couldn’t imagine being on console. Sheeesh

[crimson dagger]

really im just scared to waste money on a game if i dont end up playing it

i get really bored easily

[deep blaze]

also if you're looking to buy it later when there's perhaps no sale on ubisoft/steam, I'd suggest looking at gg.deals where you can look up the game and check for cheapest price in legit other stores, emphasis on official store list on top so not key sites that are from grey/black markets bought in shady ways like with stolen credit cards

[crimson dagger]

im definitely not buying from g2a again

worst thing ive ever done

[deep blaze]

I do not recommend the shady places like that yea, but you can easily find a completely legit official store there (they're promoted in a separate category on top) that might have it for quite cheap even when there's no sale on like steam/ubisoft, I got the game for €3 and DLC recently for like €6 that way

[azure lintel]

Bro, I’m one to speak on that. I get bored but I always come back to play. It’ll get repetitive. Delete it. Few days later, Think about how fun it was. Redownload. Repeat. Such an incredible addiction.

[crimson dagger]

idk and then dead space remake comes out soon and im gonna want to play that and then soon after new destiny 2 expansion drops

i prolly wont end up actually playing the game until like april lmao

i have been looking for a game to get addicted to tho on pc

been looking at rust

i just got a pc btw lol

[zinc shadow]

if only div 2 had some sort of free trial

[severe marlin]

can someone tell me if people are still farming anderson for guaranteed exotics? i cant seem to find a group in matchmaking no matter what difficulity i choose 😦

[crimson dagger]

another thing too is idk if ill really like td2 just cause everyone says endgame is mostly just dumping mags into bosses

i loved td1 btw and i wish td2 had a mode like the roguelike one i forgot what the dlc was called

[warm hinge]

@crimson dagger if your worried play the free trail before hand progrssion is saved over if you buy. hopefully even through stream https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/the-division-2/free-trial

[crimson dagger]

does it have cross progression between ubi and steam?

[warm hinge]

with steam so new hard to say 100% but A clan member just brought it for his partner and this is his comments "bought the base game, bind account to existing ubisoft account
only difference on the launcher is this, but it shouldn't be a big worry" so with that comment I expect it would but not that much game play to redo if it doesnt and you like the game

The level up experience alne i feel is worth the money. but end hame really is warlords of newyork. so if money allowed recommend getting that over just the base game

[crimson dagger]

yeah i feel like getting the wony bundle should be a no brainer i just dont have the money like that

i was just gonna get the base game and see if i actually get into it

but with wony and level skip i feel like id enjoy it more

[warm hinge]

Do the trail see how you go no cost apart from time, but as everyone would probally tell you worth doing the level up process at least once. then create new charactors and skip.

[inner elbow]

GDI Sponge

[timber hatch]

Even when you buy it through steam the game is still being launched through ubi and it's the same account system. So you can log into an existing account and continue progress

[crimson dagger]

so why was everyone so excited for it to come out on steam then lol

[timber hatch]

people like steam, idk why lol

[inner elbow]

Steam best

[crimson dagger]

i get that but if it launches through ubi connect anyways then whats the point

[inner elbow]

Steam cloud

[crimson dagger]

isnt it the same thing with all ubi games on steam

[timber hatch]

I get its handy to just use a single launcher, but you could always just add div2 to steam as a "non-steam game" and launch it like that forever

[crimson dagger]

ahh

[inner elbow]

I can share my screenshots easily

Being shown as "in-game" instead of "playing non-steam game" sounds, looks and feels pog

[crimson dagger]

@warm hinge i launched ubisoft connect and saw i can sub to ubisoft+ and try out wony ultimate edition that way for a $1

[inner elbow]

Besides you can name them whatever you want so nobody really knows if you're actually playing what the title says

[deep blaze]

It going to steam should usually also be nice for existing players because steam is a lot more popular (probably most popular platform on PC) and so it exposes the game to a lot more players

So lot of new players, so we get more players to play with and game stays alive

It going to steam can effectively mean for example your matchmaking time is decreased a fair bit

[smoky meteor]

Okay, how do you get the backpack skin with the Rogue markers on it? o.o That looks so cool!

[warm hinge]

yeah that is cool will give you an idea if you like it enough in the month. I have 2770 hrs now so certainly paid fpor it self entertainment wise

[unique summit]

You're probably talking about the exotic Memento backpack. Just gotta farm for it.

[smoky meteor]

Wait, the Memento just looks like it has Gone Rogue markers hanging off of it? Well now I want it even more. lol

I'm on my tenth run with no luck. lol

[lament mirage]

Try exotic caches

Also another good way to get other exotics u don’t have

[frozen shell]

someone convince me to buy this game

[ebon pelican]

Don't buy the game

[timber hatch]

Cons: game crashed sometimes
Pros: fucking amazing game otherwise

[severe marlin]

if you dont even want to buy the game yourself we dont want you being negative in our missions 🙂 just go have fun in other games 🙂

[ebon pelican]

I've been playing since update 3 or something, we're down to update 16

This game is holding me hostage, don't buy it

With the amount of hostages and settlements I've rescued we could have repopulated the entire united states twice at this point, and with the amount of murder I've committed I'd be considered an omega level threat. And yet still these eggheads manage to screw up the basics of survival each step of the way.

[low flame]

If you’re gonna be playing on pc then watch out for stability issues. They are a problem on all platforms but most prevalent on pc. Ubi is adding more content but a year ago this game was on its deathbed and now it is on life support. It is getting good content on top of an already amazing game but the many bugs introduced in every update play a role. If you can live being fine with crashing though then it is a great game

[azure lintel]

What's a good activity to get The Gift backpack?

[low flame]

And by on its deathbed I mean devs basically forgot about this game

[low flame]

The gift is dz exclusive so either dz, conflict caches, or names item caches. It might be available from legacy caches not sure but if you want to get it in a pve way then farm countdown and use cd requisition to buy named caches

[ebon pelican]

Bad news for you bud, it's a DZ drop. So either farm that when bagpacks are targeted, or pray while scrounging up Named caches.

[surreal orbit]

DZ exclusive so, DZ, named item caches, conflict caches

[ebon pelican]

I forget conflict is a thing, since it's like stabbing myself in the eye for even lower chances at getting what I want.

[azure lintel]

I'm 2100 shd.....opened shit tons of named and nothing

[low flame]

Bad rng

[ebon pelican]

^

[azure lintel]

I go cry again In the dz

[surreal orbit]

Meh, rng

[ebon pelican]

I've gotten at least 3 so far, but have had shiet luck at getting the claws out holster

It's all bout your stance with RNGsus

[deep blaze]

so far my best luck for getting an item I really want is during a time I want it and think about it the least

[surreal orbit]

And you want providence targeted loot in DZ, not backpacks, 1/6 is way better than 1/fuck loads

[ebon pelican]

^That might actually be a better idea

[azure lintel]

Roger that DZ Providence targeted...I'll follow instructions

Most likely I'll find and get killed lol

Thank you for the tips

[ebon pelican]

Alternatively, you could maybe buy it from the DZ vendors if it's cycled in the store perhaps? I know I got the orbit at the DZ vendor when it was around.

[low flame]

Targeted loot on dz goes straight into inventory

So that means you don’t have to extract it

[azure lintel]

Oooooh ok I'm lvl 45 there lol

Ok that make me feel better

[low flame]

That’s if you find it through targeted loot though

[azure lintel]

Ok

What's a good build to survive in dz?

[ebon pelican]

DZ is around challenging difficulty when it comes to the bots

When it comes to players, you're pretty much dead if anyone spots you first and feels like killing you. So don't worry about it too much.

[smoky meteor]

Wait, you can get them besides randomly through the battle pass?

[ebon pelican]

Battle pass is only for items released in this season, previously released items fall into the general pool once the season is over/unlocked in the track

[low flame]

You can from weekly leg, weekly summit, weekly shd requisition, and countdown requisition vendor

[deep blaze]

and global event stars vendor

[smoky meteor]

TIL there is a countdown vendor... Now I have to find that.

[deep blaze]

if you have other characters, they also get their own chance at the weekly summit/legendary/requisition (especially quick to do) which is a nice quick boost for that

[ebon pelican]

Countdown vendor isn't actually a vendor, it's more of a desk...

You'll find it outside the whitehouse to the right, just past the global event vendor and the seasonal track guy

[deep blaze]

it's right outside of the white house to the left, little laptop
https://i.imgur.com/RVSLKzh.png

no NPC at it, might make it confusing

the NPCs behind the booth to the right of it is the seasonal/global event vendor thing

[smoky meteor]

Oh, thanks guys!

Now to get all of my boxes!

[ebon pelican]

Good luck

[smoky meteor]

Well, I didn't get a Memento, but I got a Chameleon.

[ebon pelican]

My condolences

[low flame]

Nice exotic components

[smoky meteor]

I wanted to play with one of these! They look fun, damage looks trash though. lol

[deep blaze]

base damage is quite low I think to compensate for how you get a 90% WD increase from one of the buffs

[ebon pelican]

It's... an acquired taste

[low flame]

It was my first exotic (second but first since I got wony) and I played with it for a bitand left it to rot then eventually deconstructed it. Many people don’t like the chameleon not just due to the damage but one factor is that the chameleon is an ar in game but handles exactly like an smg

[deep blaze]

with quite high uptime, DrCabbit describes the overall feel for it the best I think

[smoky meteor]

Well, it's a good thing I'm an idiot, so things that feel bad might be fun to me. lol

[ancient verge]

Anyone having an issue on PS4 were you go to D.C from NY but it crashes your game?

[ebon pelican]

It's an alright weapon in most situations, baring legendary, and heroic missions unless you can clear quickly enough.

[low flame]

Known issue. Find someone in washington to fast travel there. Easy way to do this is to matchmake for a legendary then leave the group since all legendary missions are in dc

[ebon pelican]

On an unrelated note, I'm hoping the next PTS includes some fun exotics. The last ones we got were kinda sad tbh.

[low flame]

I mean blb good but that is about it

[ebon pelican]

I'm extremely disappointed that even when equipping gloves, the lady death, and claws out and a sacrifice chestpiece, I can't oneshot a red with a melee attack on heroic.

[gusty dove]

busy bee with striker is alright imo

[deep blaze]

It grew on me, definitely can see how there's a lot of negativity to me about it, but I like using it with a lot of DPS builds (especially running stuff with flatline/tech, as I got the +1 skill tier from tech then so no need for kard named)

[ebon pelican]

They should have definitely made it that by equipping the gloves, it gave you a new animation where you actually punch a fucker, but with a faster animation than the flimsy swing you do with your whole torso

[deep blaze]

only downside with strikers is it might drop your stacks a little while using it, but otherwise I like it as an opener on strikers sometimes (as it's weak until you ramp up, if there's no good acs target), or say on HF (to get kills rolling), or even any other build in a pickle - especially in cases where peaking for any short time is already dangerous so you can quickly mark a bunch of targets from safety then just laser oneshot targets even quicker to keep things safe

[gusty dove]

striker full stacks + busy bee is just hot damn

[ebon pelican]

I've personally found no use for the bee, considering the only time it's useful is if you don't do enough damage already to kill things and need a pick-me up

After a certain breakpoint, there's absolutely no reason to switch to your pistol

[deep blaze]

It's quite niche for sure

Only use it in cases where you absolutely need ungodly amounts of damage because you can only peak say 0.3s before getting deleted and you want to make the most out of it

or to get rolling with HF if you don't have stacks yet and teammates keep killing everything

[ebon pelican]

Now, say, if the pistol had the ability to proc its own charges on demand without switching weapons. I'd definitely use it on my tank build in place of the liberty.

[deep blaze]

or to basically guaranteed snipe a golden bullet enemy or something lmao

yeah they could've made it more accessible

[gusty dove]

😔 🙏golden bullet

[ebon pelican]

Here's hoping next gearset is one that is exclusively catered towards pistol builds

I don't want to have to run around using headhunter and pretending I'm a cowboy, or john wick all the time.

[gusty dove]

regulus 1 shot lol

[ebon pelican]

I get really tired of the regulus tbh

We need more love for all the other pistols

[gusty dove]

tbf, you don't have to run around using headhunter, there's plenty of alternatives

[ebon pelican]

Have to? No. But to get as much mileage in legendary or heroic 4 mans with just your secondaries, it's a lot harder to do without intentionally gimping your damage contributions to the party.

Funny enough, my highest damage dealing pistol build is just bulward + liberty, because of the ability to just stand in front of a fucker and lay into him while he can do absolutely nothing.

[azure lintel]

So we get a new brand, new gear set, new exotic, new named items, and a new talent?

[gusty dove]

the time where bulwark was broken af was funny too, insane regen 😔

[gusty dove]

nothing confirmed, we dont know

[azure lintel]

What time is the pts available

[ebon pelican]

Each season almost always guaranteed has a new gearset, brandset and 3 exotics, along with a talent

[azure lintel]

Is it just 00:00

Or is the a time the server goes live

[ebon pelican]

I know the preload was delayed, but PTS should be sometime tomorrow

[azure lintel]

I really hope the new stuff is pvp oriented

[ebon pelican]

Anything is PVP oriented if you build it for it

[azure lintel]

As soon as someone shows the new items descriptions I will theorycraft everything

[azure lintel]

That's not true whatsoever

I don't want another acosta go bag

[gusty dove]

🤣

[azure lintel]

Or a doctor home

I mean a set like sys co

[ebon pelican]

Doctor home and Acosta are shiet both in and out of PVP tf you on about boio

That's an issue with the item itself

[gusty dove]

well, they are great components though?

[azure lintel]

Doc home doesn't give

[gusty dove]

true

still would be a great one if they fixed it

[ebon pelican]

Acosta, best use I've found for it in PVP is to be an annoying ass tossing flashbangs with the grenade cooking talent for the increased radius

[azure lintel]

But why

It gives you a skill tier

[ebon pelican]

Because it's annoying

[azure lintel]

You don't need the acosta

Use wicked

With tip of the spear

Mad bomber chest

[ebon pelican]

See, if you use the acosta, you get infinite grenades

[azure lintel]

I'll let you in on a little secret

[ebon pelican]

And a free overcharge

[azure lintel]

If you enter an instance with the acosta equipped

And unequip it

You keep the extra nades

Until you die or change instance

Also overcharge isn't possible in PVP

[ebon pelican]

They killed that?

Haven't done the pvp since errrr, back when talents still needed different pips to be enabled

So, gear 1.0

Actually, technically not correct, I did conflict for a while. But not with a skill build.

[azure lintel]

Conflict is fake pvp

[ebon pelican]

Exactly.

[azure lintel]

You just lose to clans that are coordinated and have builds working for each other

I don't like the low medkits and not being able to pulse either

[desert crystal]

pts pre load is live

[crimson dagger]

its been a few hours and still very indecisive about buying the game lol

[ebon pelican]

Buy it when it's on sale, it's worth that much at the least

[crimson dagger]

its on sale rn on steam and just iffy about it

mostly cause im kinda broke

im watching a division 2 in 2023 video rn

basically what im getting at is to really enjoy the game you have to buy wony

[ebon pelican]

Pretty much

[merry zinc]

we need to start pushing for chd resist mods

where do we send suggestions

[ebon pelican]

That said, the game from my experience goes on decent sales on the ubi store

[crimson dagger]

and every video i watch it just looks like everyone uses the same thing in end game

[ebon pelican]

and that's where I got it myself

[smoky stag]

weapon resist mods

[dire harness]

Eh get it I wish special ammo was like div1 still but it’s still good

[merry zinc]

it’s $25 for the game basically

it’s like destiny the base game is basically the game and dlc

[ebon pelican]

There's rarely bad gear to use in the endgame, so you're probably just watching people who all have an affinity for getting the job done easiest

[crimson dagger]

i dont remember much from div1 i was like 11 or 12 lol

[dire harness]

Division 1 was legendary when I first was playing

[merry zinc]

just for crit, since we’re close to a new update it would be an amazing pvp addition

[dire harness]

When it came out

[crimson dagger]

i loved the survival mode

[dire harness]

I loved the pvp

Pvp is just my thing tho in general

[crimson dagger]

same going rogue in dz was so fun

[dire harness]

Especially with a nice build😂

[crimson dagger]

idk

my main verdict i think with just looking at vids of div2 is that it doesnt look as fun as div1 was

and when i tried playing the many times i did before it made me want to fall asleep

[ebon pelican]

Div1 has better environment, and vibe to it

Div 2 has more refined gameplay

[merry zinc]

not refined more like simplified

[dire harness]

This one

[ebon pelican]

That's pretty much my verdict as someone with around 250+ hours in both

[dire harness]

Like division 1 fs had a better environment

[ebon pelican]

currently at 998 hours in Div2 fml

[spring saddle]

Should i get back into div1 or 2?

[ebon pelican]

Both

[crimson dagger]

i also think if i were to get into div2 id end up in the same situation as i am in with destiny 2. i grinded the hell out of it for almost a year and now just feel like its boring to play cause ive done everything

[dire harness]

Well

It’s like that with a lot of games esp Grundy ones

[ebon pelican]

How is getting 1 year worth of playtime out of a game bad for 25$?

[dire harness]

😂well for me too

[dire harness]

Good point

And it’s a new storyline

[spring saddle]

Does div1 have a healthy player base?

[dire harness]

In dc

[ebon pelican]

Continuation of the old storyline tbh

[dire harness]

No clue

[crimson dagger]

i think with destiny its different tho idk if you play the game

[dire harness]

I meant more like new missions to go on

😂

Ig more storyline?

[merry zinc]

on pc their about even

div 1 has a ton of cheaters though pvp is unplayable

[dire harness]

Yeah I played both

[ebon pelican]

Honestly, just for the story of Div2 alone continuing where Div1 left off, I'd say that it's worth ~20$

[dire harness]

And destiny since y1

Facts^

[ebon pelican]

I'd value it at more, but some of the seasonal lore is just.... fucking stupid ngl

No spoilers for the new boi ofc

[dire harness]

Yeah the warlords dlc alr too

[desert crystal]

why not

[spring saddle]

Damn pvp was my favorite thing about div1

[dire harness]

Really for the watch levels

[dire harness]

Exactly.

[ebon pelican]

Warlords was hella neat. I paid full price for it, prebuy. Was the only thing I ever preordered and I don't regret it.

[crimson dagger]

the video i was watching explained that with seasons it goes and hypes up the manhunt at the end but they said theyre basically reskinned enemies?

[desert crystal]

any one pre downloading the pts

[dire harness]

I finished it so fast 😭

[ebon pelican]

Pretty much reskinned enemies, sometimes with slightly different variations in spawns/what they can use

However, as someone who doesn't have to sit through the monotony of the whole 3 month shtick to beat up a dumbass manhunt target?

You're getting the best of the situation compared to everyone else.

You're just getting the game, and when you feel like it, eventually walk up into his house and kick his shit in, no 3 month wait.

(Baring ofc the new manhunt target, that you'll have to deal with normally like the rest of us shmucks.)

[deep blaze]

frequently €13 or so too, more often than not

[ebon pelican]

^

[deep blaze]

(base + DLC / NY edition)

[ebon pelican]

Also, buying it on steam, just launches the game via the ubisoft launcher anyway. So literally no point in buying it on steam.

The only reason why having it on steam is a benefit at this point, is that you can now gift the game to your friends, which the ubistore never let people do

[desert crystal]

isnt the steam version ment to be for new people anyway

[deep blaze]

yea it's just probably for more exposure to a larger public of gamers new to the game, lots of people use only steam and nothing else so they'd not see/play it otherwise

[snow hawk]

Omg

I did it, im here

[ebon pelican]

It'll definitely bring more exposure, but there's no point in buying it on steam

[snow hawk]

Hi people

[ebon pelican]

Is what I'm saying.

[crimson dagger]

im stressing so hard rn about buying the game😭

im very indecisive

[warm hinge]

The other thing to help with the game I enjoy playing it with a group of friends s find your self an active clan in your area, really enjoy doing raids missions farming etc why catching up with people I now call friends.

[deep blaze]

yus if you're aware of the other methods and whatnot here for sure, it's just convenient for those who don't know any better and don't mind getting it anyhow

[ebon pelican]

Don't stress, just wait for a decent sale on the ubi website, and buy it there

[warm hinge]

As i mentioned before download the trail and play to level 8 for free and see what you think no money required

[ebon pelican]

The game literally ain't going anywhere

[deep blaze]

I might be also taking this the completely wrong way and perhaps I've just had bad experience with it, but when someone keeps on doing that for so long it can come across as "pls someone buy this game for me"
lots of pros and cons have been presented, lots of ways to get the game as cheap as it legit gets, don't think we can do more at this point, don't overthink it too much

[crimson dagger]

its not that

i can buy it right now

[deep blaze]

o fair, don't want to accuse you of it

I'd say jump in the free trial for sure, have a look how it feels for you personally at least

[crimson dagger]

i just hate wating money

yeah im downloading it rn

[spring saddle]

Isnt the game like $9?

[deep blaze]

sometimes less, it's €9 now for basegame yeah at cheapest

sometimes it's like €6

pretty much same if you get the DLC, though that tends to spend way more time around €7, and you can always just get it later too (if you've only gotten the base game, had bunch of fun from it but decided it's not a game for you to get into the DLC, then I don't think you'd have wasted money that much, and still saved from getting the DLC that you might never end up playing)

[crimson dagger]

anyone want to play with me after this trial finishes downloading?

[deep blaze]

had a couple friends jump into it, have a good bit of fun till around 30, but then just never really wanted to go on, some didn't get the DLC and thus saved on that, some also have the DLC that's completely unused so technically wasted

[crimson dagger]

also what stage is heartland in rn?

[merry zinc]

heartland is going to be terrible but also free so dnt matter

[crimson dagger]

i heard it might be in danger with ubisoft canceling 3 games

[merry zinc]

too far in production

they cancelled unannocuned games

[crimson dagger]

yeah thats what it was

i couldnt think of what they canceled

[celest flume]

Just got the game off steam with dlc for $18... I expect 3months of good gameplay

[merry zinc]

ubi just doesnt understand what their fans want lol its so obvious

[rare vapor]

does your save carry over to Steam version?

[merry zinc]

yea it still goes thru ubi launcher

[rare vapor]

So your save are all synced, but you basically have to pay 25 dollars to buy it again on Steam.

[crimson dagger]

i mean hey you get steam points out of buying it on steam lol

[rare vapor]

lol as if that is something to "collect"

i usually go on purchase spree during winter or summer sales

[crimson dagger]

true

[rare vapor]

i'm sad Division 2 on steam does not have steam cards or achievements, heh...

[crimson dagger]

yeah i just saw the reviews a lot of people arent happy about that

[rare vapor]

I only just wanted to continue my game hours on steam, the only little thing that matters. I'll see if they lower the price of this next coming Christmas.

Also, it still crashes like mad on Steam, haha.

[deep blaze]

it's at least €9 now on sale so there's that

and it's €30 here not 25 outside of sale on steam 😔

[rare vapor]

Right. The question though, if you already own the ultimate edition on ubisoft connect, can you simply buy the basic version on Steam and still have everything sync up once you login in via steam>ubisoft connect?

[deep blaze]

Yus DLCs and stuff carry over, saw some people mention it works that way

So you can get the basegame on steam and log in and bam you have everything you have on ubisoft, apparently

[rare vapor]

good.

[deep blaze]

Unless that's a bugged feature that'll be removed, that'd be really weird and in bad taste

[rare vapor]

i guess that would make more sense.

[deep blaze]

Also I really see no reason of them to not give it to us ubisoft owners also access to it on steam

[rare vapor]

i mean, i'm not buying a whole new account or anything.

[deep blaze]

seen lots of games do that where once they go to steam, you get a one time offer to link it and you then also own it on steam afterwards

[rare vapor]

they could of done that, sure.

[deep blaze]

it'd benefit them too as you'd have more people potentially playing it on steam, and thus basically freely advertising it to friends there

[jagged prism]

you have friends?!?! lucky! (> <)

[smoky stag]

does playing it on steam still launch EAC?

and UbiCon?

[rare vapor]

are we crossplaying with people on steam?

[deep blaze]

well I suppose most people who'd have such mythical beings would more likely have them on steam

[deep blaze]

yus all the same of those

[rare vapor]

so finally matchmaking would work, and no more 2 hours waits?

[jagged prism]

all my list shows them online but away usually XD

[deep blaze]

most recent negative review on steam says they're stuck on the EAC screen lmao

[rare vapor]

and crashes, mountain of crashes

[deep blaze]

and should be cross play I think, don't see a reason why not, it basically just launches the ubisoft version of the game but launched and owned from steam

[jagged prism]

blasphemous, div 2 never crashes 😜

[rare vapor]

[deep blaze]

yah you got to go through the 9823231 checklist of fixes you can get against crashes and hope the planets align, just the right combo if it managed to fix it for me + 2 friends, we went from a crash at least easily once an hour to no crashes in weeks on end

but unfortunate that it's not guaranteed at all either

[rare vapor]

[deep blaze]

I don't dare to touch driver updates, windows updates (outside of crucial security ones), NV control panel options, in game options, I don't dare to do anything intense in the background (even being careful with browser tabs and one video playing), I do a prayer every couple minutes, do a ritual every 15 minutes, do some goat sacrifices every morning, but seems to be good now

disabling all exploit protections for the game + 32GB pagefile (with 16GB RAM) + ISLC running with aggressive settings + putting EAC on just one thread + most recent NV driver + no Gsync +no overlays and recording software as much as possible is so far black magic that makes it run on this setup, luckily no need for other stuff (just using DX12, with low latency on)

[rare vapor]

ISLC aggressively ran...

[deep blaze]

ISLC intensifies

But I swear I'm worried if I open calc.exe the wrong way it'll crash

[cloud sage]

Except, now your TD 2 installation just read what you wrote and will come up with a new way to crash.

[deep blaze]

yep can't wait for a new update or something and boom

after some fixes it was stable for like nearly 200 hours, then the update end of December caused many crashes an hour days on end, then as of then either new driver (with DDU clean install + EAC reinstall) and/or ISLC and/or more black magic got it stable

[rare vapor]

5 crashes per hour for u

[azure lintel]

Does anybody know when the pts is going live ?

[astral jacinth]

Anyone know how much hp the control point JTF npcs have?

[jagged prism]

probably 23:59

[frozen meadow]

Are they actually gonna add raid exclusives to the dz drop pool

[jagged prism]

they probably wear a no damage buff glass cannon chest

[covert dust]

Just got back into D2 is Summit Farm still a thing

[frozen meadow]

Nope

Well kinda

[covert dust]

owww

[frozen meadow]

Just not F10 farming as you're used to

[covert dust]

whats the most Efficient way to get gear now

[frozen meadow]

Quality or just sheer number of items

[covert dust]

both

if thats possible

[jagged prism]

ever look at this before?https://trello.com/b/F2RU9ia9/the-division-2-known-issues

[covert dust]

im on CountDown but im getting the worse gear ever on Heroic

[jagged prism]

i've had good luck farming gear in heroic general anderson manhunt mission solo wise

[frozen meadow]

Countdown is sheer number of items, summit is quality

[stoic elbow]

Which game is better for solo campaign play through 1 or 2

[frozen meadow]

Both

[covert dust]

if summit is Nerf'd how are people farming

[jagged prism]

1 is basially the start, 2 is a continuation in a different area

[frozen meadow]

They aren't farming xp

[covert dust]

just the legit way?

[frozen meadow]

More or less

[jagged prism]

pretty much open world very specific events

[stoic elbow]

Is 2 more fun?

[frozen meadow]

Preference

Idk how you expect to tell us how you'll enjoy a game

[covert dust]

lmao

[jagged prism]

1 doesn't crash much, 2 get used to features that crashes the game maybe ;p

[frozen meadow]

I don't crash in 2 at all

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mossy portal]

i cant log on

[frozen meadow]

Well very rarely

[covert dust]

@jagged prism wym by the General l manhut mission

[frozen meadow]

The manhunt mission for the current season

[jagged prism]

the current season manhunt

[covert dust]

it gives good loot?

[frozen meadow]

Uh it gives heroic loot

[jagged prism]

i've had good luck running it

[covert dust]

ill run summit , i need better Spec gear

[frozen meadow]

Btw are they gonna add raid exclusives to the dz loot pool, I heard they were

Would be kinda cringe if they did ngl

[covert dust]

ehhh

[jagged prism]

it's in investigation from Tello boardhttps://trello.com/b/F2RU9ia9/the-division-2-known-issues

[covert dust]

it gives pvp people a reason to play

[frozen meadow]

No it doesn't lol

It just makes people raid less that's all

Literally makes raids worthless actually 💀

[covert dust]

ehhhh

[jagged prism]

one of the many reasons i don't raid anymore

[covert dust]

pve players still will do pve things

[rare vapor]

pve has...things

[jagged prism]

DH/IH used to give very specific gear sets but those been released to open world now so not really worth it except for the 3 exotics

[frozen meadow]

Pretty much

[jagged prism]

well, IH might have a use if people are crafting them Gearsets though

[frozen meadow]

I like raids I think they are super cool but making them pointless is just 😭

But there's no reason to craft them

[jagged prism]

true, but sometimes i want to be lazy and not run things until my eyes bleed so crafting is a bit more relaxing

[frozen meadow]

So you do more work before you wanna do less work

[plush otter]

the current issue is the other way around if you actually read it, the only people you have heard it from are people that cant read https://trello.com/c/LijeRXMu/63-pvp-exotics-that-are-otherwise-exclusive-to-a-specific-content-source-are-available-as-random-contaminated-drops-in-the-dz

[jagged prism]

for instance: do i feel like running rosevelt island for them EP pieces i want which feels like a lot of work because of hyenas are OP

[plush otter]

its locked exos now dropping in certain situations in dz, and they will fix it to not be that way

also locked exos arent only the raid ones as a hint

[jagged prism]

i interpretted as raid exotics can drop as contaminated loot in DZ

but the way you explained it would make more sense

[plush otter]

you are not the only one, heard it plenty of places, but even the base amount of investigation shows otherwise, its like people beign all up in arm that convoys were nerfed a few days back, untill anyone took the time to test the claim

it makes me feel bad for the devs, when they try to communicate they keep getting stuff like this, and then people are surprised they dont openly communicate

[jagged prism]

think people will miss this?https://trello.com/c/xWapvEJn/46-gear-sledgehammer-and-perfect-sledgehammer-talents-can-be-stacked-when-using-an-incendiary-grenade

[azure lintel]

So it's live when I wake up tomorrow?

[jagged prism]

think you could do it now still since on the board it's in Fix Ready

[jagged prism]

should be if nothing goes wrong

wasn't there a time when PTS was supposed to go live but didn't until half the day went by?

[plush otter]

its already patched, havent checked if i it is actually also not longer possible, but that fix is out with 16.4 already

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/zay081/the_division_2_title_update_164_patch_notes/ under other

[smoky stag]

if you're referring to double sledge its already been patched

[jagged prism]

guess they didn't update their trello board as it's in the fix ready stage XD

[cursive copper]

maybe keksballs forgot it

[jagged prism]

this will be interesting thoughhttps://trello.com/c/rbhnphNq/61-pvp-conflict-rewards-revamp

going to be a SHD farming option, exotic components and targeted loot? 🤤

[cursive copper]

„How to make PvP interesting again“

[jagged prism]

at least that's what they added to the card
"To make Conflict a viable XP farming option we want to increase Conflict rewards and add kill XP for eliminating another player to not slow Conflict players down on their SHD Watch and Season Pass progression.

Additionally, we are considering adding:

Exotic components in caches
Targeted loot"

[smoky stag]

unless it gives you 770k xp in a minute or less then meh

[jagged prism]

true lol

[cursive copper]

Guess checkpoint is still the best after all?

[jagged prism]

anyone know about this Oh Carol Scope mod thing being applied to other weapons? is that like recalibrating into the library then giving it to another MMR?

or is it more like you have oh carol in your inventory and when you goto mod another MMR it's an option in the scope? that's really wierd XD

[smoky stag]

nah just equip it lol
will be equipped but wont be rendered

[jolly hull]

I havent played the game since launch, I own the season pass from the ult edition, does that include the warlords dlc?

[jagged prism]

i find it funny we were able to pull the talent into the library XD

[jagged prism]

don't think so, think it was you have the 3 specialization unlocked preemptively without doing the research tasks

[jolly hull]

sadge -9$ it is

thanks

[jagged prism]

basically the Firewall, Gunner and technician already unlocked without needing to do anything like other people who didn't get the pass

[plush otter]

2 seperate things, the scope is a mod and after first pickup gets added to the mod pool, the talent can only be added to the library and sofar as i have seen, there is no other gun you can apply it to, so its just to have your library say 24/24 instead of 23/24

[jagged prism]

true, think i tried to put it on another MMR and it wasn't an option lol

it's like why can't we do that with the sleigher and just have it in our library XD

[north cloak]

gunner specialization unlocked, whats the fasterst way to get more points?

[deep blaze]

o so is that the mysterious 2nd 12x scope that has no model that I noticed popped up in my mods not too long ago?

looks funny since it just visually shows as basically iron sights/no scope
the "squint really, really hard" scope mod

I do find it ironic to not read rules about no advertising, plugging an advertisement here, while having in your own rules on twitch no self-promoting

[thorny talon]

Oh wow steam early reviews looking good. 🤣🤣

Gotta feel for the pain of people who had crashes are finally letting it go in full rage

But i dont get the people writing bullet sponge enemies in review thats the only dumb take tbh

[deep blaze]

Yea I'm kind of like
That's...why I'm here

[thorny talon]

Crashing issue yea valid people allowed to criticize that

[cloud sage]

Someone call Jim Halpert/Jack Ryan and ask him to fix the crash issues.

[thorny talon]

But bullet sponge hella no. If you play game well bullet sponge isnt really issue

[deep blaze]

Yea otherwise what's the point in better builds

[lament mirage]

Remove all skills minus decoy remove watch n expertise n make it straight gun game

[deep blaze]

And also if it's an issue, can't one lower the difficulty to lower the enemy health too
Otherwise seems like a "I'm not having fun on the highest difficulty so neither can you" thing

[thorny talon]

True

[jagged prism]

yes, but they're probably trying to get good loot too so they can't shrugs

[thorny talon]

[lament mirage]

Decoy nice just cuz it’s hides ur name

[deep blaze]

Reminds me of the eternal debate in a lot of MMOs about how people doing the lowest tier easy LFR content should be able to get the same highest end super deluxe loot the top 0.1% gets, for their little weekend adventure trips

[lament mirage]

Maybe keep shields n deflector drone

[smoky meteor]

Okay, I'm never doing the Space Center again... I hadn't realized it during the Story because I was using Assault Drone and Turret... But I can't see a damn thing in here. My eyes don't see through the weird red/orange light.

[jagged prism]

never ran manning invaded before huh?

[smoky meteor]

I don't even know what that is... But if it's lighting is similar to the last part of Space Center, I'll hate it.

[jagged prism]

ah ok, wasn't sure if you were new player or was a regular

[smoky meteor]

Not new, but not experienced with any of the game past like... the basic story and WoNY story mode.

[jagged prism]

ah, well every week there's a stronghold and 3 missions that are invaded missions

so imagine doing that mission but not with the same npcs you remember

[smoky meteor]

Yeah, I can see those. I still have to do the after WoNY storyline I suppose at some point.

[jagged prism]

you talking about the manhunts?

[smoky meteor]

That and Camp White Oak, Coney Island and then I suppose I should look at other parts too.

[jagged prism]

if you haven't reached 100 in this current season i'd focus on that otherwise once season 11 drops what you didn't unlock season wise you'll have to do it all over to unlock the rest you didn't i think?

i don't recall at what levels you unlock the previous manhunts, but it's within the 1-100 season level

[smoky meteor]

Oh there is zero universe where I hit 100 on this Season Pass before it ends. Unless it's going to last quite a while. I'm only at 20.

[smoky stag]

Lewis at 53
Faye at 55
Schaeffer 58

Hornet 63

Jupiter 68

[jagged prism]

thanks. knew it was high up on the list

so yeah, if you get 53 this season before 11 you'll have lewis unlocked but you'll need to reach whatever levels they put them in, including the anderson

[smoky meteor]

I suppose I'll have to look into a Clan once I get my gear situation settled out so I can start looking into doing Raids and stuff.

[crimson dagger]

what should i unlock as my first skill?

[jagged prism]

you have until the 31st it seems unless they speed it up

[smoky meteor]

My honest suggestion is to get either Assault Drone or the normal gunner turret. The two of them will make the story mode a breeze until you get to endgame and decide on a build.

[deep blaze]

at some point if you have it unlocked, the pulse laser (weapon mod) from the Technician specialisation is a godsend for visibility in such places I found and can really spoil you, as it auto pulses enemies you aim at so you're basically just wallhacking the enemies with it (next to a good damage boost combined with flatline talent on weapon)

[smoky meteor]

I don't think I've ever used Technician, but I have it. I haven't done much to unlock things in it though. I'll keep that in mind for later though.

[jagged prism]

keep in mind not all weapons can use that mod

[smoky meteor]

Is it a Technician special only like the Banshee Pulse from the Minigun class?

[jagged prism]

nah, it's a mod you put on your weapon

[smoky meteor]

Oh well... I guess I have to level that a bunch to unlock it then. Thanks!

[jagged prism]

3 levels i think?

[frozen shell]

can someone explain whtmy game is so yellowish and bright

[jagged prism]

couldn't say honestly. did you mess with the graphics settings in game or with your cards software?

[frozen shell]

oh i found out i had to turn off HDR

[elfin nest]

Can anyone send me a video to get me up to speed abt the game

last time i played was before warlord of new york

[jagged prism]

warlord of new york increases the level cap from 30 to 40 and added some other things for endgame content

like seasons which 10 will end on the 31st unless they change it and 1 new raid Iron Horse, then a season ago i think they added a new game mode Countdown

[elfin nest]

actually do u think its worth buying the division 2 rn or wait for heartland?

[jagged prism]

heartland is a totally different game from what's out now

think heartland was their Battle Royale game with Division lore

Resurgence is just Div 1 Mobile game from what i've heard

[jagged prism]

looked up release date and first links showed 2022 but yeah, can wait if you want i guess?

[plush otter]

is there a direct url to this discord?

[elfin hazel]

thedivisiongame I believe

[elfin hazel]

heartland is a completely seperate game so yes its worth buying div2 now

[jagged prism]

nah, think they want to view discord within a web browser instead of a mobile app or discord

or send an invite link that someone can view this server in a web browser?

[elfin hazel]

it is discord.gg/thedivisiongame idk if it has preview mode on or not though

[jagged prism]

funny how other server actually has a resurgence channel, figured i'd see a heartland too but nope

[elfin hazel]

it'll probably get one

[jagged prism]

if you're so unsure play the trial

[elfin nest]

nah ill just get rn the ubisoft connect+ play it for a bit and see from there

[jagged prism]

is it under the ubisoft connect +? interesting XD

if you're coming from first one only difference is not classified sets in game

oh a lot of the gearset/classified never made it to div 2 either. striker is there but not the same unfortunately

[plush otter]

thanks was looking for it to add to my steam guide, couldnt find it right away, that one works

[elfin hazel]

oh yeah heartlands gonna be f2p

[jagged prism]

and pay to win apparels?

[elfin hazel]

cosmetic stuff and a pass probably

[jagged prism]

or maybe season pass that gives you a bunch of apparels XD

[elfin hazel]

👁 ikia steam guide....

[smoky meteor]

Heartland is the phone game, right? Are they bringing it to PC?

[elfin hazel]

thats resurgence

heartlands the one more like div1 survival

[jagged prism]

get to play the "open 1k apparel caches 1 at a time in hours" XD

[upper falcon]

survival in div1 was sad

felt like you really died in the cold

[plush otter]

its more a link depository to all my stuff and some of the other good resources, not a real guide in itself

[elfin hazel]

went to check guides saw crash fixes with exploit protection in it sobbing

at least they say dont do this this is last resort for once

[jagged prism]

so more like a chest with a bunch of stuff scattered inside?

[elfin hazel]

I do hope we get good guides for raids n such

be a good way to get rid of those long evernote links too

[jagged prism]

good guides as in how to speed run them?

[elfin hazel]

just do them in general

I know they exist but to have them on steam as well would be nice due to overlay

[smoky stag]

vroom exists

[jagged prism]

season 11, brandset with each kill you get some running speed increase paired with lady death go supersonic speed ;p

[thorny talon]

Heartland is like hazard zone in bf2042. It wont have significant story narratives like div 2

[thorny talon]

Increase ingame brightness

[smoky meteor]

That wasn't my problem. My eyes can't see through the colors clear enough, like the screen floods with a color that distorts my vision... I don't know how to explain it easily. I'm just basically blind in that last one.

[jagged prism]

like it jsut washes everything out kind of thing?

[smoky meteor]

Pretty much. I know there are other colors on the screen, but it destroys my ability to differentiate those colors and I can't focus my eyes to see things.

[plush otter]

try pulse as a workaround, maybe you can see the enemies then atleast while they are pulsed

[smoky meteor]

Yeah, I was also told about the Technician thing, so I gotta get that leveled enough to use it.

[jagged prism]

there's a pulse skill you can use in the mean time

[elfin hazel]

any pulse should work

[smoky meteor]

I wonder if my brightness is too high... I'll turn it down.

[thorny talon]

Disable hdr?

||Are you color blind ? :p||

[smoky meteor]

I don't even know what HDR is... And I've not taken a colorblindness test in like 20 years... Can you develop it later?

[thorny talon]

Hdr is in game graphics or display settings

[smoky meteor]

Mah computer is too potato to have HDR, I'm safe there.

[thorny talon]

Specs?

[smoky meteor]

Let's leave it at potato... I built this thing like eight years ago and the only upgrade was a gpu update last year.

[elfin hazel]

hdr is monitor not computer

I doubt you do but do you have neutral lighting on

[smoky meteor]

Nope.

[rare vapor]

[fiery cloud]

Hey sniper.wolf

[dapper atlas]

Hey Saph!

[rare vapor]

Hey Sapth

[midnight skiff]

do all Tactical assessments use the same resources?

[elfin hazel]

no

[ebon pelican]

Weren't pts patch notes coming out with the preload, or did they get pushed back?

[elfin hazel]

no set time for patch notes

its likely to be slightly before or after pts goes live

[snow hawk]

[deep rune]

did they change how to get the nemesis blueprint?

[wet igloo]

No

[pallid dome]

Hey, i needed some help getting good loot, i haven’t played in a year and just need help leveling up and getting good loot. Thanks 🙂

[proper oxide]

I can confirm that if you have TD2 ultimate edition in ubisoft and buy TD2 regular one on steam and link them you could play your ultimate edition account in steam

[elfin hazel]

👍 good to know

[oak prawn]

12$ CAD not bad

for the standard

[kind quartz]

Should I get it on steam

Already have it on epic so can I link it to steam so I can play for free lol

[plush otter]

if you want it on steam, you have to buy it again there, do not believe there is any "free" way to go about it

[azure lintel]

doesnt work like that, youre paying again lol so youll have multiple copies of the game for no reason

[ebon pelican]

Why do you even want to link it to steam, when both launchers just launch the ubi launcher to launch the game?

[unique summit]

If you want the game in Steam just...

1. Open your library
2. Click "Add a game" on the bottom left
3. Choose "Add a Non-Steam Game"
4. Choose "Browse..."
5. Look "C:\Program Files\Epic Games\TheDivision2\thedivision2launcher.exe"

Now you can launch the game from Steam.

[surreal charm]

Good morning. is the PTS available for download?

[smoky stag]

yes

[surreal charm]

@smoky stag Thanks. But I cannot find it in the Ubisoft Connect? 🤔

[smoky stag]

in either games or store
i found mine in Games

[surreal charm]

@smoky stag Thanks. I will take a look again.

[fair lake]

Is there any scheduled time when it's gonna be open? Or it will be announced later?

[dapper atlas]

"Server will be up and running this coming Friday, January 13th at approximately 14:00 CET, 08:00 ET, 05:00 PT."

[fair lake]

👍

[smoky stag]

4 hours from now i believe

or 5

[thorny talon]

Does this process also lets u write review ?

[unique summit]

Nope

[bitter cave]

Do they plan on making a survival mode for td2 ?

It’s such a good game. Took a break and went to play td1, got into survival 🔥

[azure lintel]

Another 5 hours man

[wheat zinc]

Devs had said no survival @bitter cave

[scenic kraken]

is it possible that a character is gone after a long while? i logged in to the game after like year or two break, and i could swear i was leveling a fresh character, but i only have the max lvl ones 🤔

[plush otter]

its pops up that select starting point of new character choice, where it shows DC start or NY start, if you have been gone for long, or log in for the first time in a new region of the world, its a bug, if you select either it will go into your charecter select screen and you old chars will be there

[scenic kraken]

yup, it is just i could swear i had a character that was not max lvl yet 😄

maybe i just remember wrong and i actually finished campaign on it 🤔

[plush otter]

you may have used a boost at some point to lvl a char to 30 aswell

[inland garden]

howdy

[kind quartz]

So fuking true

[scenic kraken]

you only get one boost right? i have one character that says boosted and one that is not

[azure lintel]

The problem is they don't give us enough content to last until the next update

1 update every 4 months isn't sufficient

Giving us 1 new gear set and a brand

Oh and an exotic, more components

[plush otter]

no, you can boost up as many characters that you want to 30, but then have to lvl them to 40 yourself if you want max lvl, if your character says lvl 40 and it doesnt say boosted, then you lvled it to max

[scenic kraken]

ah i see, any reason to start a fresh one after a long break?

[plush otter]

if you have already seen the story, maybe leveling a new boosted toon trough wony can be worth it as a refresher, but more likely you can jump back in and relearn the game on your lvl 40, just do a mission on normal diff to start and see how it feels and move up from there

[scenic kraken]

alright sounds good 🙂

[fathom turtle]

Wait is the new season coming tomorrow or just the test server? I still have some ranks left

[elfin hazel]

just the test server

[inland garden]

are kneepads the most common green gear to get

ive got like 4 of them and no other green stuff

[low lily]

New game mode probably won't come like 2 months or so atleast. They testing it probably today

[inland garden]

i want cooler green stuff

[desert crystal]

Is the new game mode test in the pts then

[low lily]

Nahh it's closed test today

[plush otter]

current season is set to end at more than 2weeks from noww, on 31 jan, so you have some time left

[low lily]

But NDA is for sure related so we won't know what

[plush otter]

new mode wont be this coming test server or this coming season, but at the earliest the next one at around spring 2023

this next season is more of this storylines manhunt and new gear/weapons/cosmetics

[low lily]

It could've been whatever, maybe not new game mode

[fallow geyser]

Bruh, my good friend just gave me one of the nicest birthday gifts ever. homie really helped me out with getting the last dc hunter. kill confirmed at 00:02 🥺

happy fucking birthday, me

[desert crystal]

How do you no

[plush otter]

who are you asking this to? me or the other guy?

[desert crystal]

You

[plush otter]

they put out this a long while back, its still the most up to date roadmap #news-and-announcements message

[elfin hazel]

nda for a public test server?

[desert crystal]

So the new mode is in the spring then

[elfin hazel]

yes

unless it gets delayed again but no point in thinking that unless it happens

[alpine gale]

dam coffee with no pts notes

[desert crystal]

thats what i was looking for

[alpine gale]

maybe nothing to test yet same as last pts the good stuff wasnt till 2nd week

[low lily]

The private playtest

[sweet briar]

Can some one tell me if the game is dead or has some players in it? I havent played since the 100 floor tower rleased and want to come back but i get the feeling that the player count is very low 💀

[elfin hazel]

its not dead

[gritty pebble]

Hey guys is there a headband cosmetic? I wanna do Rambo esk character

[alpine gale]

i find on pc ansd ps5 takes 1-2 mins to matchmake for random herioc missions on eu but the last couple of days im getting the same missions non stop on herioc

had dcd 14 times in a row yesterday ffs

i only matchmake to get advents completed that day as team progression counts also

[void parrot]

what time does the PTS go live uk time thanks

[inner mason]

@gritty pebble there's one from the last apparel event.

don't know the name tho. have to login to know

the gunner one I think

[plush otter]

1400 CET so 1300 GMT for the uk

[gritty pebble]

Can you still get it

[void parrot]

thanks for that cheers

[thorny talon]

Why would you want a copy paste idea into new game. U get new game for playing something new in concept not old hits....

[bitter cave]

Concept is awesome. New map would be cool and near gear

[gritty pebble]

Also what is apparel events

[thorny talon]

Nahh no need of survival need something new as when survival came it was unique but now survival market is saturated

[alpine gale]

never happen team is too small and seasons copy and paste advents is the norm now just add the same back pack hanger and give it a diff name

[elfin hazel]

thats only happened this season what

and that was for winter event at that

[gritty pebble]

Drib I got a question

[elfin hazel]

yea

[alpine gale]

ehh then why is the advents backpack hangers 90 percent already ive got over the last 1yr atleast

small golden gun arrow target hatchet etc

[gritty pebble]

I’m new to D2 what are apparel events

[elfin hazel]

each season has 1 or 2 apparel events based around a theme and you level up to get the keys for them

post wony stuff

[alpine gale]

in the menu check it

[gritty pebble]

Damn I wanna get that head band that just released

[elfin hazel]

you can get stuff after events either using textiles or premium credits

[alpine gale]

thats true just wish they had more stuff we can buy with textiles like atm on pc im sitting with over 600k and max unlocks for chest must have over 2k keys but it doesnt show

some people have millions of textiles and u cant use them

[gritty pebble]

Thank you Drib that was nice of you to explain

[alpine gale]

would be nice to see a vendor to let us use the textiles to buy mats etc

[surreal charm]

Just a last question otherwise I will send a ticket. 😉 Are there minimum requirements for the PTS?

[thorny talon]

No if u play on pc you are eligible. Ubisoft and co always dab on console plebs 🐒

[alpine gale]

i wouldnt console players are dabs lol like havent had a crash on ps5 for over 3 months yet pc daily atleast 5-6 in 6 hrs we all know pc is a mess

like why does their anti cheat use full resources that only game still i have to turn it all off to atleast get some pc play time

[thorny talon]

🤓 akshually anti cheat is made by some other corpo not oobisoft

[alpine gale]

yeah true but they force us too use it are u cant play the game

[thorny talon]

Poorsoft skill issue cant make inhouse anti cheat 👶

[alpine gale]

and the best bit is the anticheat is rubbish as other game companys refuse to use it

[elfin hazel]

easy anti cheat is used in a lot of games what

[alpine gale]

go to easy anti cheat webiste and they had fourms that reward u thumbs up for uploading hackers clips like can the program not detect them and u have to blur them out as u get a ban for saying their name etc

[elfin hazel]

you're only gonna run into like 2 anti cheats outside of proprietary ones for single games and one of them is EAC

[alpine gale]

i dont mind cheaters alsong as they cant get any extra ingame stuff that i can earn playing not worth losing ur game account but ubi only ban u fromt he game they need to be account ban and lose all their games lol

[thorny talon]

Ai cheats will soon render anti cheat software useless 🥹

[elfin hazel]

not really

the cat and mouse game will keep going

[alpine gale]

yeah true the game thats cheap now they just get another free account and buy the game look at steam price today ffs i bought the game deluxe version day1 so sad

[deep blaze]

steam price atm is a bit more expensive than it's been available nearly all the time for months

[alpine gale]

my steam price today on eu is £20 for deluxe version

wonder is it cross save thou from ubi account

[elfin hazel]

yes it goes through ubicon anyways

[dry quiver]

unreal how the zoo mortars are still instant 2 years later. not sure what I expected.

[inner mason]

do we know when the pts will go live?

I'm etching to read the patchnotes

[tender wave]

Knowing the state of spaghetti code in the engine, they probably can't fix it without something else breaking. This is also my guess as to why kenly is still time gated

[oak prawn]

it seems when they fix something another thing breaks

[dry quiver]

hope they never ruin another game

🙏

[oak prawn]

eason 11 is quickly approaching and the Public Test Server will be up and running this coming Friday, January 13th at approximately 14:00 CET, 08:00 ET, 05:00 PT.

[low lily]

🤣

[elfin hazel]

welcome to coding

[oak prawn]

ive done basic coding ik how hard it is to get code perfect

[merry zinc]

yep because historically in-house anti cheats work so well

[merry zinc]

and they’ve been saying this for a decade nothing is going to happen

it doesn’t matter how good an anticheat is if you make a game poorly that’s the issue with division 2

[frozen meadow]

Mase have you ever programmed before

[woeful ether]

been hearing or at least heard before that the whole team that originally made the game is gone and they're recruiting , are they still doing so or the team is complete and they're just trying to get the gist of the gig ?

[elfin hazel]

not the whole team but a good chunk of it not sure if they're still recruiting atm or not though

[woeful ether]

i heard it was the whole developing team , only management remained around and few others i think

[tropic compass]

Pts in 24 mins?

[elfin hazel]

<t:1673614800:R> hopefully yea

[gilded perch]

where's my PATCH NOTEEEEEEEEE

[elfin hazel]

gone

voided

[oak prawn]

wont let me play the pts

[elfin hazel]

restart your launcher

[oak prawn]

i did

3 times

[elfin hazel]

I had to do it twice

idk then

[gilded perch]

i guess they want player write the patch note themselves after test everything

[elfin hazel]

mike 01

[rose glade]

good one

[elfin hazel]

servers are not up

[inner mason]

can't see the patchnotes..

[gilded perch]

player don't need patchnotes, just test in pts and remember it

[limpid burrow]

Maybe a tad late but... can I link my division 2 thats on Ubisoft with my steam account?

[elfin hazel]

yes but you'd have to buy the game again

[limpid burrow]

ohhh

[elfin hazel]

pretty sure standard will work just fine if you have another version though

pts also says testing of TU15

[limpid burrow]

ok cool ty, I'm in Arg so it's cheap anyway

[heavy ocean]

mike01...

[elfin hazel]

we love our buddy mike here folks

[pliant sentinel]

mike the type of guy to kill rabbits and be unemployed

[gilded perch]

i am curious that the patchnote, devs should complete it long time ago, then why don't release, wait for what? wait for player write it and upload their verison before official?

[elfin hazel]

mike would never

[split sail]

It wouldnt be a Division 2 launch of some type without Mike

[heavy ocean]

Its time to make a deal with Mike

[elfin hazel]

we dont know and its probably something to do with schedules

[lone valve]

Can't even access patch notes lol 😭

[elfin hazel]

patch notes up

sniper geat set oh my goodness

will it outdo aces & tips is the question

[heavy ocean]

patchnotes? where?

[elfin hazel]
