[pine linden]

I hope this is reviewed I don't play on PC but I came here just to express my opinion it bothered me a lot.

[elfin hazel]

its only phase 1 and I doubt itd kill the raids fully

[plush otter]

i think people are overestimating the casual player base willingness to go into the DZ over raiding

[pine linden]

Only people who practice speed will not be affected.

[elfin hazel]

the chances are gonna be really low its also been several years since they came out and they aren't the be all end all

[plush otter]

i dont see this as removing any player that was going to raid if there was the incentive of the raid exotics, as the only people that are going to go dz to get these, were never going to raid anyway

[azure lintel]

Yeah ill probably end up buying it in the morning!

[pine linden]

Idai that it's been years? It took me a year and a half and now it drops on the dz? I'm against it, it's unfair that the weapon will raid

[serene barn]

enjoy it, agent 🙂

[coral igloo]

Wont let me send flare at Washington monument

[pine linden]

I hope the complaints on the forum are enough to change your mind

[cloud sage]

What about if they made a DZ version of Eagle Bearer that only worked in DZ? That would level the playingfield for those who don't raid and feel they are at a disadvantage to those that have the Eagle Bearer in PvP but the raid version would still be better, since it works in both PvE and PvP.

[serene barn]

its not like i wouldnt want others to have a easier way to get the exotics, but it makes it harder for me to motivate others to run the raids. I just love raiding, not for the itmes but the fun factor with other players. i shared so many EagleBearers & Ravenous i stopped counting 😛

[elfin hazel]

the thought of fairness when it comes to those exotics being able to drop elsewhere isn't even in my mind

I'm not expecting rav builds to pop up everywhere because if someone wanted them badly its likely they already got it and went raiding

dz already has a poor reputation in this game for several reasons

[next urchin]

wait really why? if you don't mind me asking

I remember having tons of fun with the DZ in D1 even though I hate pvp

[pine linden]

I like the sraids too but it's a matter of common sense if it drops in the DZ just stay there much easier than the raid luckily the community thinks like me.

[elfin hazel]

them being fractured along with how the pvp is in the game

[coral igloo]

Accidentally started a whole ass war between the black tusk and true sons

[serene barn]

same here, near the Monument 😄

[coral igloo]

Yup

70 or 80 enemies

On herioc

[elfin hazel]

very slim chance likely below 1% where it can be taken away vs 5% spread across several people

people aren't going to be chomping at the bit for the former

[coarse summit]

will they ever have crossplay?

[serene barn]

i dont think so ./

[coarse summit]

dang i have friends on pc i would like to play with that all i was wondering if it was in making

[serene barn]

your only chance would be Geforce Now, since Google killed Stadia (both are/were) crossplay to PC Uplay version of the game.

but if your pc can run it, get it on pc.

back in TD1 times i was in the same boat and decided to do everything again to play on the pc plattform with my buddys

[plush otter]

they have specifically said that they will not, as while they could, it would be pretty hard as it would mean completly redoing how they have parts of the backend set up and too much could go wrong

[serene barn]

if they ever plan a TD3, there might be a good chance the game will be crossplay, since the next gen consoles can handle stable framerates etc.

[plush otter]

im sure they likely will or will atleast consider it, at the time of div2 release it was less of an option, almost all contracts for games on consoles prohibited crossplay on both major brands back then, it wasnt just a a technical reason but a financial one

[serene barn]

a fair point

[plush otter]

its mostly down to their database now in div2, as while it has almost completely changed that its mandatory to not have crossplay, especially if there were monetized parts in a game, because of consumer request/outrage its changed nowadays,
but the database they have now isnt setup for merging 3 different databases down to 1 in a way that doesnt require allot of dev hours, and even then any mistake could cause huge issues

[lost reef]

yo why cant i use the storage

cant put anything in there

[surreal orbit]

Your stash? Is it full?

[serene barn]

Hardcore Agent?

[lost reef]

oh maybe its hardcore agent

is there a way to change it to normal agent

wait but i was able to play with my friends who werent hardcore accounts

[serene barn]

if yes, thats your answer. Hardcore Agents don't have a stash.

[serene barn]

Once created, it will stay Hard- or Softcore till the end.

[next urchin]

hardcore is the one that's deleted upon death SAO style, right?

[lost reef]

ive died so not hardcore?

[serene barn]

at least not accessible, so your only option is deleting it in the character screen.

[serene barn]

then not hardcore, check your inventory and your stash if you have ebnough space left.

[lost reef]

i def have space because i was never able to put anything in at all ever and my inventory got space too

[serene barn]

hm.. interesting..

[serene barn]

are you online? send me your account name, so i can inspect you ingame to get sure if you are hard or softcore. Only if you are willing to share the information.

[lost reef]

account name godofsex123

happened yesterday too when i was in a group so idk

[coral igloo]

So now that i have got tech laser do i have to run scanner pulse?

[serene barn]

oh sry, nvm its not possible any longer to diffentiate by inspecting, sry :/

[lost reef]

ive died many times tho so wouldnt that prove that im not on hardcore

[merry zinc]

great name

[lost reef]

thanks

[serene barn]

yea the choice of name is hilarious 😄

[lament mirage]

Nah

[next urchin]

same vibes as "BallsDeep69"

I respect it

[lament mirage]

Unless u running night watcher mask scanner pulse is shit

[serene barn]

or "BiggusDiggus"

[lament mirage]

Is good for weapons that lack the pulse laser attachment like the famas tho

[next urchin]

Is there something funny about Biggus Dickus?

[merry zinc]

yea. that was my grandpas name and hes dead.

[serene barn]

*giggles

[lament mirage]

But then u just sacrificed one of ur skills n a brand set n slot on build

[next urchin]

(凸ಠ益ಠ)凸

[jagged prism]

even greater is the Dare (GR9 model i think?) lacks the capabilities to put on link laser pointer

[coral igloo]

I use it on kingbreaker

[lament mirage]

Don’t need it

Just run tech spec once u get the laser attachment unlocked

[coral igloo]

Thats what im using

[lament mirage]

KB still the strongest

They both the same talent ya but KB stronger cuz of the DTH

[coral igloo]

What do you do with a dark zone key

[polar warren]

There are chests you can open in the dark zone outpost areas where the bosses and enemies spawn

Piggy backing off of that , should i open the chests or just steal from them ?

[lament mirage]

They’re used for the chest in landmarks usually

It’ll usually prompt u too a key or u go rogue n steal it

[coral igloo]

Do they give good stuff

[lament mirage]

Nah usually shit

But if ur just collecting the dz currency they still good to decontruct

[rare vapor]

Holy moly, division 2 has a QUEUE. Thats the first time i seen a QUEUE in 4 years.

i'm in spot 192, lol

[surreal orbit]

Exotic components

[surreal orbit]

I farm exotic components in DZ every day. 12 to 20 every day

[lament mirage]

Oh yea

[lost reef]

ok stash fixed itself no idea what happened

[lean wasp]

I've recently bought the game on steam (ultimate version) now im kinda confused why I can't access classified assignments?

It says it comes with year 1 pass but on the doors of Mission it says that im missing it

[elfin nest]

can anyone help me skip world tiers?

[velvet pond]

@lean wasp ya gotta progress a bit more with the story, once you complete some of the missions around, they'll open up

[lean wasp]

oh you think its level restriction? hmm

[elfin nest]

does anyone wanna help me go through main story

[plush otter]

you can also always use the call for backup feature in the game if you want some help or someone to run trough the early game,
its in the tab called "shd" when you open your map, it calls for players that are actively responding to newer players and looking to help people, they get called shepards, and are usually helpfull and nice and willing to help

[next urchin]

I think this bounty I'm hunting is glitched or something

they're in a building and I swear to god there is no way to get to them

[deep blaze]

I've plenty of times ran circles around the building for what feels like hours until I found a super sneaky entrance that's not even that sneaky and I was like how the hell did I miss that all the time

[next urchin]

oh...

ya... I'm really dumb...

it was just a door that looked like every other un-openable door

kinda annoying

[deep blaze]

oh yeah those are the worst when it's like a door that looks quite normal and locked except you can interact with it if you inspect it closely

I could do the same place like 3 times that day and still forget

[next urchin]

the game is so inconsistent with that I swear

sometimes they highlight the door and make it look different othertimes they make it look like a locked door

[eager loom]

ugh, this is 3rd time today that NPC is behind room door and wont despawn.

[deep blaze]

got to get that emergency firestarter/oxidizer/airburst swap for the classic out of bounds enemies stuck in the harry potter closet

[eager loom]

ty. i'll do that. never had the issue till today. well, cept a couple years ago every so often so i didn't look up ideas how to get rid of em.

[deep blaze]

if it's some robotics stuck behind a door (mostly thinking of the drones in summit) ECM grenade can be nice too

[frozen meadow]

Emp

[deep blaze]

wait yea EMP grenade

[frozen meadow]

What does ECM mean

[eager loom]

Thank you very much. 🙂

ECM = hurts robotics. 😄

[deep blaze]

electronic countermeasures

[frozen meadow]

Oh

Never actually heard that term before lol

[deep blaze]

usually some tech meant to disrupt some kind of other electronics so it has some similar overlapping meaning but used differently and I mixed them up

[frozen meadow]

So anything is technically classified as an ECM if it can destroy electronics

[deep blaze]

but they're usually to disrupt like radar/surveillance, so usually in games it's context of countermeasures on say helicopters/aircraft against seeker missiles

[frozen meadow]

-3-

Ah okay

[deep blaze]

Don't want to give the wrong idea, had a quick google and apparently it's more specifically to disrupt electronic devices that are like radar/sonar/other detection in specific, so I was just kind of using it wrong and mixing it up

[frozen meadow]

Lol no worries

[next urchin]

wow enemies that spam grenades are insufferable

I miss my talent in Division one that neutralised enemy grenades

[frozen meadow]

First time?

[eager loom]

lol

yeah, along with legendary peeps and those damn suicide drones...

[frozen meadow]

Whenever I see one grenade I nope out of cover cuz I know there's at least five more -3-

[next urchin]

ya and then you get shot from every angle including from the sky by 800 enemies that seemingly came from nowhere

[frozen meadow]

First time in leg?

[next urchin]

leg?

[frozen meadow]

legendary

[next urchin]

there's a legendary mode?

[frozen meadow]

Oh god

[deep blaze]

lmao

[frozen meadow]

What difficulty are you on rn

[next urchin]

I already know what you're gonna say

so I'm not gonna answer that

[frozen meadow]

?

[next urchin]

needless to say I abhor grenade spammers

[frozen meadow]

Well whatever mystical difficulty you're on

Legendary is like twenty times worse with grenade spam

[next urchin]

where is legendary?

I can only set my world diff to heroic

[frozen meadow]

It's for strongholds specifically

[next urchin]

ohhhh

[smoky stag]

its limited to 5 stronghold missions and summit

[deep blaze]

friend that played with me borderline quit from PTSD from tusk grenadiers
like how you have a regular other faction with grenades and it's just like, kind of lands in sometimes the same continent you're in, sometimes not
and then a tusk grenadier, oh god
miles away, you barely see one pixel of his icon on your 16K monitor
suddenly a red indicator appears, starts to fly, shortly after you hear
flup
and it just arcs up, gently but menacingly, flying like an ICBM, perfect trajectory, inter-dimensional homing sensors, quickly followed by more rapid flup flup right behind
and they just like headshot you, the grenade just read your mind halfway through and already adjusted for where you'd go before you even knew you'd think about it

[next urchin]

I get my entire health bar ripped from on grenade too

[frozen meadow]

Don't worry legendary kills you with one grenade :)

[smoky stag]

you're gonna love tidal basin on legendary

[next urchin]

I was also facing two rogue agent bounties that both had seeker minds

like bro, chill

[deep blaze]

yah grenadiers keep you on your toes for sure, you got to get familiar with environments to move to real quick, or you better know of their existence before their parents even do so you can delete them ASAP

[frozen meadow]

The drones D:

[deep blaze]

luckily there's a one-shot protection so if you're chilling unharmed and you get hit you're blessed with sitting with a tiny sliver of health, staggered while you see the other 298 grenades homing in about to land you as you watch helplessly spamming roll

[frozen meadow]

BEEP BEEP BEEP boom
BEEP BEEP BEEP boom

Repeat 50 times in a row

[smoky stag]

tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee

[next urchin]

well that's great because it's already happening to me without being on legendary

[smoky stag]

revives teammate
hears
tee tee tee tee tee tee tee tee
ohnoes

[frozen meadow]

Depends on the enemy

Also in legendary I'm impressed you're running full health

[deep blaze]

hmm is there really something that you get shot by a singular damage instance from a normal enemy where you instantly get oneshot? haven't seen one yet

[frozen meadow]

I know the snipers in IH do

[deep blaze]

and for me, in legendary with the damage intake, I feel like you're either full health or basically dead

oh yea, I was immediately thinking there might be something raid related but I was thinking non raid

[frozen meadow]

I know

[deep blaze]

I think even on legendary the snipers wouldn't oneshot me, if I'm unharmed before

[frozen meadow]

You just need to get a good build goin

[next urchin]

https://tenor.com/view/jackal-sniper-gif-22878703

[deep blaze]

neither suicide bombers, exploding drones, grenadiers, sniper doggos

[frozen meadow]

The snipers are autos

[next urchin]

I'm on a standard dps build

[frozen meadow]

Idfk how you can take one hit and survive

[next urchin]

so it's not exactly defense oriated

[frozen meadow]

6 red? If you're going solo then that makes sense

[deep blaze]

I mean I can imagine if you get a follow-up shot, or if you already got hit by something else that yea you'll die

[next urchin]

ya I do a lot of dmg but uh

I also take a lot

[frozen meadow]

No surprise there

[snow hawk]

Okay so finally hit level 30, what is advice I can get now?

How can become STRONGER?

[frozen meadow]

Did you do WT1-5

[deep blaze]

I've found my survivability in a lot of legendary about the exact same running PGC because of those

[next urchin]

New York

[frozen meadow]

Nah hold on

[snow hawk]

The hell WT1

[deep blaze]

do you have the WONY DLC :D

[frozen meadow]

He's not done the story y'all lol

[snow hawk]

Yeah I am

[frozen meadow]

Did you finish tidal basin

[hardy wraith]

bro this ge is actually so fun

[snow hawk]

I killed the mf black pust

[frozen meadow]

So you are wt5

[snow hawk]

Or whatever

[frozen meadow]

Then yeah dlc is next

[deep blaze]

some people might say it's better to skip WT1-5 as it's just kind of stretching out the story with not a lot of content, I think doing all the side missions (if you want to) first is good before boosting, the main story missions you can always just return to and do those again

[snow hawk]

Do I have to pay right?

[frozen meadow]

If you didn't already get it then yes

[snow hawk]

Oh nah im good

[next urchin]

lol

[frozen meadow]

You lose a lot of content not getting the dlc

[next urchin]

you didn't buy the WONY edition?

[frozen meadow]

Just sayin

[snow hawk]

Is like pay to win thoo?

[next urchin]

(ーー゛)

[frozen meadow]

No

You just only get like half the game lol

[deep blaze]

nothing to pay for to make you win more, just most of the relevant end game content that's going on atm is there

[snow hawk]

So how can like get better gears

Or I just need to get lucky

[frozen meadow]

You farm

[deep blaze]

farming more difficult areas has a higher chance to get better gear basically

[frozen meadow]

But you'll be handicapped by being level 30 tbh

[deep blaze]

your options are a lot more limited without the DLC and once you get into DLC, you go from level 30 to 40 and basically everything you got till then becomes irrelevant anyway

[frozen meadow]

Oh also you can't join the game of any level 40 players

[snow hawk]

Division 1 was easier for me to unlock

[frozen meadow]

They have to join on you

[snow hawk]

Understand *

[deep blaze]

you've kind of nearly finished what the basegame has to offer, seeing how most moved onto 40

[frozen meadow]

I'd honestly say, statistically speaking, everyone has the dlc

[deep blaze]

to me it seemed a bit more straight forward once at 40 tbh

[frozen meadow]

It is lol

[snow hawk]

I been playing that game all alone most my friends not into it like I am

[next urchin]

Division 1 was a lot simpler, but also didn't have a DLC close to WONY

[snow hawk]

Legit took an hour to find this server so Maybe I can..

[thorny talon]

No

[next urchin]

I mean technically it is

[snow hawk]

Division 1 was easier thoo

[frozen meadow]

Isn't every game you buy pay to win tho

[deep blaze]

can't win if you don't own it 84Head

[frozen meadow]

Lmao

[next urchin]

ye that's what I mean by technically lmao

[deep blaze]

then again you're also kind of winning by not needing to spend hours to play

[thorny talon]

Pay 2 win what? I ratiod lvl 30 content in base game even did a lvl 40 raid got eagle bearer and then i got dlc ...

[snow hawk]

What if they make Division 3 in few years 🤔 😳

[frozen meadow]

They won't

[deep blaze]

what comes in future doesn't diminish the amount of fun you got out of your money for paying now and enjoying it

[frozen meadow]

They're working on heartlands/resurgence

[snow hawk]

I hope is worth it

[frozen meadow]

As worth as this game, take that as you will

[thorny talon]

Ubisoft will move onto freemium for its multiplayer ips

[next urchin]

something I'll never play because I have an old ass phone

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[deep blaze]

don't you guys have phones

[frozen meadow]

?

[thorny talon]

no

[snow hawk]

I wish Crossland was on division 2

Cross-platform *

[frozen meadow]

I don't

[snow hawk]

Cuz also in this server there is a lot PC players

[thorny talon]

casual pc W

[frozen meadow]

PC is a significantly more competitive environment

[next urchin]

casual poor L

[deep blaze]

I think Discord usually also attracts more PC users in general, even in games more dominated by console playercounts

[thorny talon]

Console stacies seething already 😎

[snow hawk]

U right

[next urchin]

I'd be a PC user if I wasn't poor

[snow hawk]

Same

[thorny talon]

In all seriousness if either of console had native mouse and keyboard support for all games i would have never purchased pc 👽

[deep blaze]

I think that's very understandable, especially seeing PC part prices, especially in some economies
I don't think it's fair to bash someone else just enjoying games in the way they are/want to/can

[snow hawk]

But my Birthday is gonna be in few weeks sooo I might become one ya PC mf

Just gotta get custom one

[thorny talon]

Controller is just aint my thing too hard to master

[snow hawk]

Depends

[thorny talon]

Nah fck controller mouse and keyboard anyday

[snow hawk]

Understandable

[next urchin]

opposite for me

[snow hawk]

But yoo @next urchin try play sometimes, carry me for better gear?

Yes plz and thx you

[frozen meadow]

i only use controller if im lazy

[next urchin]

even if I get a PC I'll just use a controller to play

I can't play games with KB & Mouse

[frozen meadow]

i just decided to spend $400 on a keyboard 💀

[thorny talon]

My aim ing with controller sux balz

[deep blaze]

several people are typing

[next urchin]

I suck ass bruv

[deep blaze]

man of culture, enjoy it

[snow hawk]

Not more then me

[frozen meadow]

i have multiple keyboards

[snow hawk]

Jeez

You on ps player here I know @next urchin

[next urchin]

I tried plugging a KB & Mouse into my ps4 to play FFXIV once... It didn't go well at all

[snow hawk]

Jeez

[next urchin]

I reverted back into a noob instantly

[thorny talon]

Console companies could easily enable mnk support they just making a problem and are trying to sell the solution to the problem 🤬

[snow hawk]

Ah worth the shot to ask.

How life been treating ya so far?

[next urchin]

if I joined your game the enemies would match my level and become impossible to kill for you

[snow hawk]

Is all good.

[next urchin]

I'd have to switch to a level 30 alt and at that point I'd probably be worse than you lmao

[snow hawk]

Is cool no worries

[next urchin]

wth is mnk

I'm tech illiterate

[thorny talon]

Mouse and keyboard

[deep blaze]

wouldn't he be scaled up though? or you mean because of him not owning the DLC?

[next urchin]

I thought enemies got scaled to the highest level player

[deep blaze]

yeah and so do other players too

[next urchin]

(￣□￣;)

[deep blaze]

I've had no issues playing as any level with any level friend, sometimes I was on a 40 character playing with someone from level 1 onwards

basically all enemies get put to 39 AFAIK in that example, and my friend regardless of their level gets a buff scaled up to being 39 (health and damage wise)

[snow hawk]

Obviously

[next urchin]

o-oh...

see, Sam I know jacksquat lmfao

ig if you want I can help you then

[deep blaze]

it's not perfect, not all attributes and such scales properly, I've sometimes seen for example a friend get scaled up and his shield would basically be useless suddenly, but it ends up being decent

[snow hawk]

I thought you knew

[next urchin]

I told you man I suck ass

I've been playing for like a week or something

[snow hawk]

Jeez didn't it was that bad

I'm joking chill

[snow hawk]

How you like it ?

[next urchin]

it's great

[snow hawk]

Glad we in same page

[next urchin]

although the story could be better, it's kinda lacking

[snow hawk]

I care about the gameplay

And exploring

And mostly surviving

[next urchin]

I wish there were some memorable characters or smth

Keener is kinda memorable but at the same time kinda eh?

[deep blaze]

too edgy for me

I'm a bit basic, can't go wrong with hearing my man Manny, or Kelso

[next urchin]

They were both like super boring to me, no offense lol

[thorny talon]

What about lau?

[snow hawk]

I mean that one Asian girl from first game when helicopter crashed down

[next urchin]

The Schaefer guy even though we get jack diddly squat from him for the most part from what I've heard he seems the coolest and most fun to me

[snow hawk]

I saw her in division 2

She cool as

[thorny talon]

Thats lau

[snow hawk]

Yeahhhhh her

[next urchin]

I couldn't tell you the difference between her and Kelso. They're the same character

[snow hawk]

Badass

[thorny talon]

You better play dlc and further to see more unexpected twists

[snow hawk]

Good to know

[deep blaze]

very understandable, I guess Manny is for me perhaps not the worst to listen to if you need to listen a whole lot to someone repetitively

[snow hawk]

You know who isn't boring

My character

[next urchin]

I never came up with a personality or backstory for my character

(￣.￣;)

[snow hawk]

My character is very mysterious

And cool looking, just saying

I'm playing fifa 23 rn.

This only two games I play a lot lately

[deep blaze]

my character is pressing the randomise button a 2nd time and thinking yea this'll work

[snow hawk]

My question is why there more females character in game , what's that about?

Something special?

Or people just h o r n y

[frozen meadow]

Wdym

I'm not sure what you're referring to

[snow hawk]

In game

[frozen meadow]

It's gender inclusivity if that's what you're referring to

[snow hawk]

I'm talking the game

Like GTA online

[frozen meadow]

I'm not understanding

[next urchin]

because I like playing as a female character lul

[frozen meadow]

Oh is that what you mean?

[snow hawk]

No

[frozen meadow]

????

[snow hawk]

Is not about that

[frozen meadow]

Then please elaborate

[hybrid ore]

Oh please don't.

[royal tinsel]

Did the game come out on steam ?

[snow hawk]

Is not liking playing as female

Okay let me try again

[frozen meadow]

P sure it did

[hardy wraith]

when does the season end

[hybrid ore]

About 2 weeks, according to the ingame timer.

@snow hawk Just drop it.

[hardy wraith]

where do i check that

[hybrid ore]

Pause > seasons.

[hardy wraith]

ty <3

i hit level 46 on the bp and it feels like progression is starting to slow down

[frozen meadow]

Wdym bp

[hardy wraith]

season pass

[frozen meadow]

It's linear XP progression btw

[hardy wraith]

yeah just running through missions and stuff but hopefully i can hit like tier 70 by the end i just wanna unlock previous manhunts

[frozen meadow]

You'll have that option next season too

[hardy wraith]

yeah only thing is i dont know if ill really be as active next as this one, i dont really feel like restarting even though its not that far

[snow hawk]

Why there more females in game , even dudes playing as females, is because hitbox or some specialized? That's what I mean eve

[frozen meadow]

Rivens said drop it

[snow hawk]

Jeez okay

[thick zephyr]

Tried a 4 piece eclipse with vile mask and one Golan for guardian event for the first time.
Crazy fun.

[frozen meadow]

I don't like.vile tbh, it doesn't do like any damage afaik

[hardy wraith]

idek what to build

[frozen meadow]

OD

[hardy wraith]

idk if i want memento or keeners mask

[frozen meadow]

Wdym Keeners mask

[surreal orbit]

???

[surreal orbit]

What’s keener’s mask?..

[thick zephyr]

It prolongs the status duration.
With this event,if npc on fire after guardian killed,death is swift

[frozen meadow]

Wdym prolongs status duration

I don't think the talent says anything about that

[hybrid ore]

Vile:

Total Damage dealt is equal to 50% of your concussion grenade damage and is increased by your status effect attributes."```

[frozen meadow]

Yeah, the damage is minimal

It's like 80k a tick

[molten spire]

I consider it a bonus. Party damage to enemies I've CCed and have amped damage against because of the Eclipse skills are my main means of dealing damage. Status effect damage and Vile damage is a bonus if they kill

[thick zephyr]

I just used the fire chem launcher,didn't even need another skill.

[frozen meadow]

Wait but if you're cc you're not doing any damage as is~

If you have a group that's fine with it then yes

[plush otter]

define the builds you are talking about, as one of you is tlking about a fire EP and the other of a foam EP, 2 very different builds for different things

[surreal orbit]

Can kill challenging reds with just a jammer (vile, 4 EP, contractors w yellow core + status effects, demo spec + shotgun equipped.

[molten spire]

The only thing I can say is that it depends on the group

[plush otter]

in a foam vile doesnt make sense yes, but that "I don't like.vile" without context of what build is plain wrong for a fire EP

[molten spire]

I use Vile when foaming anyway

[thick zephyr]

Firewall spec.
4 eclipse with BP and chest.one vile and one Golan with status effects attribute.
So much fun.
Cleared a couple of heroic missions with 4 directives without downing

[plush otter]

yeah, EP is awesome, especially in groups and fire eclipse should have a vile

[thick zephyr]

And using with this event makes it sweet.
Especially when the guardian is hit and I get the damage buff with my capacitor.

[lean pawn]

is anyone having crashing issues for the steam version ?

[azure lintel]

#lfg-pc

[bleak oyster]

Mb

[lunar nimbus]

Props to the dev for the museum missions. I spent more time exploring and reading stuff than doing the actual mission 😂

[plush otter]

its pretty common, if you are crashing allot there is that one guide you could try in the community hub with some stuff to try, but if its once in a while every 4-5 on average, then thats sadly normal

[hardy wraith]

meant coyotes mask lol

[next urchin]

did that with the museum and Lincolns memorial lol

was just reading and touring the exhibit like I was an actual tourist

[lunar nimbus]

Can't wait to play the Air & Space museum

[plush otter]

quite a lot of the mission and side mission locations are pretty cool if you are into exploring and just looking at stuff, their remakes of those missions around the washington mall especially

one of the things i will never fault ubi for is for detail in the world in city games, even in the games i disliked mechanically, i had a ton of fun with just exploring

[hard ridge]

Is my take of div2 feeling dead, dumb ?

[azure lintel]

nope

not really accurate either tho

but not dumb 🙂

[hard ridge]

I feel like the ONLY people playing it are level 99999 people. In div1 I could find a group of people on level 1 and level max content. Here I'm mostly solo and waiting in queue till I already finish the mission by myself

sad, doesn't have as much of a sense of a "real-ish" alive world

[thick zephyr]

I sometimes just like to just walk around and admire the surroundings.
Same as for the watchdogs series

[deep blaze]

a black tusk grenadier hit me so hard my radar came back with fog of war directive

[plush otter]

most of the playerbase, even newer people are mostly matchmaking at lvl 40 and on heroic content, outside of that you arent going to get groups often

but its also not hard to reach the point where you can comfortably do heroic, its allot more lenient than div1 in that

on a sidenote, i am surprised at the currently playing # that steam lists, even now that isnt really pirime time, it lists it as "3,945 In-Game" higher than i expected really

[lunar nimbus]

Agree, I just know that the devs put so much love into making the interior as accurate as possible.

Also, how accurate is DC in the game? I have never been to DC so I really want to know

[plush otter]

its a 1 to 1 recreation of the dc map, with scale matching, but allot of liberties taken with generic buildings

but the landmark buildings are very accurate

its even so that if you take photo mode pics ingame, it has the gps data that matches real life

these 2 links are a good way to show aswell

[lunar nimbus]

The game is currently on sale on Steam. Currently, there are 3200 players on Steam + players on UPlay, so the game isn't dead.

Oh, that's so cool

I'm in the Air & Space museum already for 20 minutes exploring everything 😂

[azure lintel]

3200 players only cause it just launched after a while it will go less than 2k lol which is considered dead

not to mention the new content is all boring asf

[jolly stag]

its funny to see people refund a game that they got on sale to begin with

[azure lintel]

why is it funny ??

[jolly stag]

makes it sound like $10 is a months worth of food

my b, $9

[azure lintel]

so ?? whats the point of spending 9 dollars on something you are not going to consume ?? just give money for free to a multi million dollar company ?? might as well give that 9 dollar to a homeless or something lmao

[low lily]

I actual think that new content could be pretty good and not that far away at this point

[tired wyvern]

Could someone help me with Story Tidal Base please? When i join the Player search my game crashes....

[astral jacinth]

Dammit, I can’t keep up with all these Steam backup calls!

[dapper atlas]

Try in #lfg-pc

[oak prawn]

HI isabel!

[tired wyvern]

Ok sorry

[plush otter]

if only there was another place that most people that wanted to play, have been playing for years that isnt in that number

[azure lintel]

then why is matchmaking is so slow and dz is dead as shit ??

[oak prawn]

maybe you caught DZ at a bad time

everyine is offline

[azure lintel]

why would everyone be offline ??

[jolly stag]

this could be a coincidence with the name but did you make a guide on steam

[plush otter]

so why are you playing it?
you are one of the weirdest agitators i have ever seen, as you go all out an put down the game you then go and play,
and asking questions about it as if you like it,
and also then turn around and act surprised when your questions dont get answered when you are probably on most of the peoples block list that asnwers questions around here

[plush otter]

yeah, i got that build collection link as a guide on there

[jolly stag]

yea his obv brand new account make for trolling is obv

hah wow i was literally reading it as you were typing, i gave it a few awards

<3

[plush otter]

thanks for the support, glad you felt they were worth it

[azure lintel]

??? it hasnt even been a week since i came back after i got banned during the glitch suspension wave and people block me already ?? thats fine i dont play this game, i just came for a bit got all the new loot and then i started playing valhalla as i am right now, id play more if there are people who are playing it sadly there arent and solo is boring asf

[plush otter]

you were never forced to solo, matchmaking countdown or random mission is still in less than 10 seconds on the evenings, unless you are doing it at 3.00 am on a thursday, and thats in eu and us both

[elfin hazel]

if you dont even play the game why are you here just to be negative I dont get it

[jolly stag]

pff not even isaac newton could answer that question

[oak prawn]

popcorn

[plush otter]

when you feel bad and depressed, why not make everyone else feel bad and depressed, its a common mental defence mechanic, and hard to kick once you have made it your habit

[dapper atlas]

No popcorn. This non-sense conversation doesn't lead anywhere so we drop it! We are not telling others to leave. But we are also not coming into a games Discord to shit all over a game just because we don't like it!

If you don't enjoy the game, it's fine, there are plenty more games out there. If you want to offer actual feedback, you can do so in the correct channels (aka the forums).

And now we are all moving on.

[oak prawn]

yes mam

[plush otter]

👍

[compact epoch]

So when will the issue gets fixed along with the memory leak, random crashes that have been known for a long time?

[azure lintel]

if they didnt do it in 4 years what makes you think they will do it now ??

[obsidian hatch]

words are that it's more on the EAC aka Ez Anti Cheat application itself. Various other games using said anti cheat is also having a ton of trouble with crashing.

[compact epoch]

Just asking cause it is a waste of money and space for not able to play a game and almost all the clan members left and the battle buddies.

[obsidian hatch]

so my guess is that Massive is waiting on EAC cleaning its mess and they don't have much else they can do

[compact epoch]

I don't think it's an EAC issue I played other games with EAC doesn't crash just like div 2 does

[oak prawn]

Well apparently the crashing has something to do with the games code

[obsidian hatch]

Probably depends on the code inside the game also

[azure lintel]

its not going to happen dude, game is not going to get any major changes prolly it is going to be the same mostly and a lil content drop here and there

[obsidian hatch]

well no shit sherlock

[compact epoch]

So we are going to expect at some point they will release a final update and abandon the game just like the first one.

[obsidian hatch]

it's all free contents, I don't expect more than that

[oak prawn]

Well Y5 is coming so I don't think they are gonna give up just yet

[compact epoch]

If they will allow us to equip multiple exotics then yeah I am good for that

[obsidian hatch]

Y5 is probably the last

[azure lintel]

free content when we paid for dlc lmao change your name you are not living upto it

[azure lintel]

yes

[obsidian hatch]

ye I paid like 14 bucks for the whole game

already got 2k hours on it lol

[azure lintel]

you can have 10k hours still wouldnt mean anything

[obsidian hatch]

the content we already have is more than enough worth my money. Now I'm just in for the ride

[obsidian hatch]

sure dad whatever you say

[oak prawn]

If it is better make it worth it then

[compact epoch]

Or they will release a content were Div 1 and Div 2 can cross travel and check the situation back at Manhattan.

[azure lintel]

just cause you played 2k hours doesnt mean there is content worth of 2k hours lmao 🤡 and 2k hours isnt even alot to begin with

[obsidian hatch]

I don't expect anything major other than the Descend game mode (forgot the name), and the specialization overhaul

[obsidian hatch]

sure dad whatever you say

[compact epoch]

Summit? Countdown?

[oak prawn]

Descent is taking place in the darpa labs so it has potential

[obsidian hatch]

no not that

[azure lintel]

did i ask ??

[obsidian hatch]

it's sth rogue like

[compact epoch]

HHmmm

[obsidian hatch]

aka you go in with nothing and you have to use whatever they give you

[compact epoch]

ah okay

[oak prawn]

Apparently it's like survival you start out with the bare basics and find skills and weapons

[obsidian hatch]

[obsidian hatch]

ye sth along that line

[azure lintel]

resistance would be better than this descend or whatever game mode

[obsidian hatch]

good thing we can still play resistance in Div1

Countdown is vastly better

[oak prawn]

Decent is not even out yet so how can you compare them?

[azure lintel]

countdown takes too long

[compact epoch]

Countdown is fairly okay for loot drops

[azure lintel]

who the fuck compared ??

[oak prawn]

Countdown is used for expertise

[obsidian hatch]

if 15 minutes is too long for ya then Idk what to say

[azure lintel]

it should be 5 mins, farms should take as less as it posibly can

[obsidian hatch]

gears, expertise, mindless shooting. It's used for a lot of things

[dapper atlas]

@azure lintel Check your attitude and tone it down! It looks like you are actively trying to get into an argument / fight with others and we won't tolerate this in here!

[obsidian hatch]

there's the open world

1 minute for 1 piece of gear

countdown you get like 10+ in 15 minutes

[hybrid ore]

If Countdown is too long for you, can always go back to the old standard of Lincoln farming.

[obsidian hatch]

fair trade imo

[azure lintel]

what ?? it should take as less time as it can ?? thats what i said how is my attitude bad

[dapper atlas]

Y'all can have your own opinions about the game but keep it civil!

[compact epoch]

15 min is enough for countdown.

[obsidian hatch]

not to mention you always get 10+ pieces of ANY GEARS and WEAPONS

[oak prawn]

Moat games take like 13 or 14 mins especially on heroic

[azure lintel]

i think resistance was faster

[obsidian hatch]

with a good group you can actually steam roll it in 10

[oak prawn]

Yea that is if you get a good group

[hybrid ore]

With a bad group, Countdown is a lot faster.
granted, you won't finish it, but still.

[obsidian hatch]

that is true lol

I got my entire HB and Umbra set from Countdown

[azure lintel]

how is it fast with bad group i dont understnad

[oak prawn]

Plus you may start with 8 people but Chances are your not gonna end with 8 people

[obsidian hatch]

and 2 pieces of Picaros for my meme build

[compact epoch]

Last week had countdown on heroic and we have like 30 sec left as the rest are getting disconnected and such but was able to finish it.

[oak prawn]

I might attempt another white gear heroic Countdoen run

[obsidian hatch]

as long as you cap the hunters before going down, you still got a good chunk of gears and tags to trade

countdown is godsent for farming

[compact epoch]

Wish for bigger inventory or separate storage for countdown

[obsidian hatch]

ye me too. A new set and brand is coming

[compact epoch]

I had to scrap most of the same exotics and gears just to free up space

[azure lintel]

yes we need more spot to carry

[obsidian hatch]

well I mean why would you keep it around

[azure lintel]

increase vault too

[oak prawn]

My BP is always 20 items or less

[azure lintel]

cause 4 characters ??

[compact epoch]

^

[obsidian hatch]

dismantle dup exotics for the material

[azure lintel]

need 4 copies of an exotic

whats the use of material ??

[obsidian hatch]

expertise?

reroll exotics that you might encounter in the future?

[oak prawn]

Iirc its 20 exotic components for 1 expertise or something along those lines

[hybrid ore]

You need Exotic Mats for expertise upgrading later on, yep.

[obsidian hatch]

still trying to get my M4 to 20

[azure lintel]

sure but it isnt that big of a jump from base, id rather have 4 of the same exotic for 4 characters unless the exotic is utter useless i will not dismantle it

[hybrid ore]

What you have now probably seems like a lot, but once you breach Lvl 10 on an item, you're going to start to notice it.
Exotic Mats drop from CP's right now, but only randomly and they go straight to your materials page.

[azure lintel]

and didnt they say exotic comp will drop from dz or something in future

[oak prawn]

EB ravenous and bighorn will be DZ drops as well or so it gose

[azure lintel]

whats the use of raid then ??

[modest lintel]

about time

[azure lintel]

just remove it at this point

[oak prawn]

We don't know if it'd gonna come to the live game

[obsidian hatch]

things can always change in pts

[oak prawn]

Yep

[azure lintel]

it shouldnt be in live game

[obsidian hatch]

tho I'd say let the Exos in the DZ for a month or sth

[azure lintel]

those weapons should be exclusive

[obsidian hatch]

I wanna see how it goes down

already got all of them so I could care less where they put it

[modest lintel]

no exclusive, everything should b dumped into dz

[oak prawn]

All out war lmao

DZ will be populated

[modest lintel]

yes n yes nyes

[azure lintel]

no lol

[lunar nimbus]

What does the semi circle beside the weapon for?

[obsidian hatch]

ammo count?

wait no that's another game lol

[hybrid ore]

Raids are still required to get the BP's for the gearsets that used to be locked there.

[lunar nimbus]

It only appears in some weapons

[oak prawn]

Everything should be dumped in the DZ watch as everyone fights for exotics

[lunar nimbus]

Like semi circle with 00

[oak prawn]

Watch chaos unfold

[obsidian hatch]

Regulus also aka one of the best exotics

[azure lintel]

but that is not enough for people to lfg and go to raid if they dz drops those good weapons as well

[oak prawn]

Regulus is a monster

[obsidian hatch]

that thing is so much fun to use

[hybrid ore]

You greatly overestimate the amount of people who actually play Raids more than a few times.
I'd estimate that over 90% of the playerbase has never entered DH or IH.

[oak prawn]

Especially with the right build

[winter radish]

That's shown on weapon talents that utilize stacks

[azure lintel]

im not talking about people who already play im talking about those who dont, we need to increase the players in raid and making weapons available everywhere will not do that it will discourge those who dont play raids even further

[modest lintel]

the current method to get into groups in raid is the problem. cant just matchmaking in normal

[hybrid ore]

^

• A lot of players simply are unable to play Raids for one reason or another. Myself I don't use mics, most teams require them.
  others are not comfortable in a group setting. More options for accessibility is always nice.

[modest lintel]

not about having not enough ppl waanting to do raid

[oak prawn]

I only raided to get the reg rav and EB after that I barley touch raids anymore

[modest lintel]

i rest my case

[heavy prism]

If you played discovery you should know the reason why?

[hybrid ore]

I tried going back to farm the BP's, but with TL farming these days, there's incredibly little point.

[azure lintel]

sry its not just current method its THE method, raids are where you are required cooperation mic and strategies you actively look for right group and do it

[modest lintel]

discovery...hahaa

[oak prawn]

Discovery Aka raid for dummies

[azure lintel]

and matchamking for raid is not possible

nobody would be able to do it

[modest lintel]

let's dump into dz

[azure lintel]

then youll see a guy who dropped eagle on dz but got it stolen from a rogue group lmao

it would be fun to watch lmao

[lunar nimbus]

If I complete an activity with some random, will that activity be completed when I play Solo, or I need to redo it?

[azure lintel]

someone deleted all the messages lol

[azure lintel]

what you mean

[hybrid ore]

As long as you were the host, yes.

[low lily]

You can't make raids more appealingly they already are, majority people only do it to get those exotics and they are out. Only people who do it a lot is people who do raid carries and speedrunners.

[azure lintel]

dude who tf made valhalla ?? it is so tedious to upgrade settlement atleast let us do it in one place

[lunar nimbus]

I joined some random doing missions and completed it. When I play Solo, will the mission I've completed with some random be completed, or I need to redo it, since I completed it without me being a host?

There clear enough 😂

[plush idol]

@lunar nimbus Pentagon/Manning? The missions got a bug rn

[lunar nimbus]

Nah, just some story mission and helped him clear some territory

[plush otter]

story missions and side mission will count as completed for any member of that group that is there for the completion of it, the activities on the map (territory control, control points, public exetutions and stuff like that) are bound to who evers sesion it is, but those are also not one time clears, those are meant to continiously repopulate so they dont matter much

[inland garden]

i cant even compete in conflict

either i do no damage, im getting instantly shredded or im being blown up

[brazen mountain]

That's expertise for ya

[verbal mica]

countdown isnt letn you complete the venting obj so you end up failing lol its happened 3 times now it doesnt let you pull the lever to complete it

[hybrid ore]

It's a bit of a misdirection, but sometimes you need to shoot/break some more vents before you can pull the lever.
Even if the objective says to pull it.

[verbal mica]

thanks!

[coral igloo]

Well i have now completed all the main missions and all the side missions

[placid shadow]

i love it when people so vocal about the issues on steam forums and reviews

[fair lake]

So, I've become a little paranoic)
How many backpack trophies exist in the game right now? I swear, I had 102, but now only 101, and I can't figure out, which one is missing

[tulip sinew]

Are there any patch notes for the current PTS?

[placid shadow]

not a single mention about the pc crashes

[native pecan]

Your pc crashes on division?

Mine never does

[placid shadow]

bruh

i don't care, i've seen enough people with 3h on steam saying they don't crash xD

crashing is a real issue and most of the players on pc get crashes

[native pecan]

First iv'e heard of it

[placid shadow]

welcome to division 2 agent

[native pecan]

Well I played through TD1 Td2 and warlords to 75% and I have never had the game crash on me

try to be less hostile, just trying to have a conversation

What are your pc stats/gfx settings

[placid shadow]

i'm not hostile tbh

i don't need help, there is no fix for crashing

[native pecan]

There is always a fix if your pc causes a game to crash

[placid shadow]

i play td2 since day 1 and i know when dx11 started crashing and how things are

i have 3 pc's in my household and all of them crash on td2

[tender wave]

Crashing is a hugely variable issue, some people crash constantly regardless of what they try, others (like me) crash quite rarely.

[placid shadow]

@tender wave thing is, crashing may stop for days , weeks even a month

then it always comes back , it's really random

[tender wave]

It's been a problem for years and no-one has been able to identify a reliable fix

[native pecan]

I have two teenage sons with gaming pcs and we all play TD2 warlords and none of us crash, so if you are having this issue, look to your setups/gfx settings/ram - troubleshoot everything instead of being openly hostile when people try to help you

[placid shadow]

that's why there are so many "fixes" , people just think they fixed it when they didn't

friend, again i'm not hostile )

[tender wave]

Yeah if you try something and then happen to get a lucky spell you think you've solved it, happens a lot.

[placid shadow]

dx11 started crashing after 16.3

[merry zinc]

are you amd or nividia

[placid shadow]

before it worked flawlessly even tho the performance was worse than dx12

[native pecan]

Senior It tech with a degree, if your PC is crashing with a game and the company clearly states it is not on their end, then its on your end

[placid shadow]

dx12 had rare crashes since the division 1

[tender wave]

Oh, massive knows it is in their end, they are always looking for solutions

[merry zinc]

believe the crashes only happen with nividia but its an issue we've been dealing with for ab 2 years

[placid shadow]

now i sure know that you new , agent 😄

[placid shadow]

no, wifes rig with amd gpu

[native pecan]

Not sure how that would correlate unless its a clash between geforce

Sorry ive bklocked that other person, I dont deal with hostile people

[placid shadow]

my main is r9 5900x with rtx 3070 , still the same

[tender wave]

I'm running a 3070 and crash quite rarely so it's not that simple

[native pecan]

Aye RTX here n before that 1080

[placid shadow]

it's ok to block people who don't agree with you, that's fine )

[native pecan]

Anyway, was simply attempting to see if I could help 🙂

Been learning lots watching this channel

[placid shadow]

my third rig is gtx980, that prolly crash the most but i think it's just the pure randomness of it

[native pecan]

i.e not to worry about my gear at lvl 38 lol

[merry zinc]

get me a job at IT

and ill carry u

[native pecan]

lol - school - job 😛

[placid shadow]

i'll get you a job in animation 😄

(actually a joke but i wish more people would do what i do)

since it's fun (mostly)

[merry zinc]

arent animators notoriously abused

[native pecan]

alrite, i got more TD2 videos to record for my challenge on YT, be welkl all, again, great to be here 🙂

[placid shadow]

not in our studio , our studio mostly freelance

and we get payed for seconds

so it's not fixed salary

[hard ridge]

I realize it isn't but it feels like it because I can never get into a group unless I'm max level etc. and queueing for endgame, but at that point everyone is so highly leveled they 1 hit everyone and I feel useless and am not having fun

[merry zinc]

id love to meet the guys one shotting in end game

[placid shadow]

you mean in countdown ?)

i'm pretty sure it's the lag that makes you think they oneshotted it

[hard ridge]

I might've misused the word endgame. I just meant higher level content. Whenever I queue for a mission I get put into the mission with a no-lifer that makes me not have fun because of how strong they are

[placid shadow]

it's not that bad Grim, not like in heartless mmos like BDO

it's pretty easy to get to the endgame in td2

[merry zinc]

queue for heroic then

game isnt meant to be hard at any other difficulty

[placid shadow]

if you lowlevel you might get kicked a lot from heroic countdown

but that's fine since if a lot of people do that in one lobby you will all just end up wasting a lot of time

[lunar nimbus]

I mean statistically people buying this game to play with friends or entirely solo, so they won’t matchmake with randoms.

[hard ridge]

idk I'm just basing all this upon the fact that div1 I was always in a group and the player levels were around my own so it was challenging, fun and always social. Here I'm mostly on solo.

and when I do queue, I finish the mission before the game finds people to play with me

[placid shadow]

should get playing buddies

best thing you can do 😄

[lunar nimbus]

I bought this game to play solo, since I can’t find any friends sadge

[obsidian hatch]

before I bought this game, I thought I'd be playing solo

[placid shadow]

conme on don't be like that ) just ask in steam forums for people

[obsidian hatch]

but I find myself playing with randos a lot through mm

[placid shadow]

(avoid squickers ) and all should be nice and buttery

[obsidian hatch]

especially on leggo

[hard ridge]

I have the type of playing buddies that play 1 or 2 games non stop. And when they try something else they either don't like it or don't like it as much as their main games. So I feel like I'm playing with an addict going through withdrawals that is just there because of me not because they want to be playing the game.

[placid shadow]

i think one major problem is that countdown is op loot

so people keep spamming that and the rest of the things to do in div 2 is just wasted because of this silly thing

all the targeted loot and stuff is not worth it when you can just select your targeted loot and roll countdown where you get showered in loot

it could be more interesting like boosted loot for control point containers , idk something else than countdown

[lean wasp]

13,14

[placid shadow]

the whole point of targeted loot is just gone with countdown

[hard ridge]

I'm baffled by the fact they removed game modes from div1 ... like the sequel is supposed to keep the stuff that works and remove the stuff that doesn't and add more stuff... this game removed entire game modes people were jizzing about

[obsidian hatch]

open world activities would still grant you faster loot overall but it depends on whether or not it's at a good location

[placid shadow]

no they won't

you get much more from heroic countdown spam

[obsidian hatch]

nah not really tbh. I say they are about equal

a resource convoy takes like what, a minute at most

and it also grants a lot more xp if you run with 5 directives

[placid shadow]

i'm talking loot not xp

[obsidian hatch]

open world has maybe a bit less loot but a ton more xp due to directives

so each has its own bonus

[placid shadow]

i guess, also tired of grinding solar for mats

[obsidian hatch]

once I got everything set up for the build, I run open world much more to gain levels and get optimization stuff

[placid shadow]

it's just like the same routine every day

i wish devs looked up how some of the real mmos work for the next game

imo it's all about balancing loot/xp so players won't do same thing over and over again

open world more fun then spamming countdown

[lunar nimbus]

countdown is permanent, right? I heard someone said it’s just a temporary event

[placid shadow]

nah lol

[obsidian hatch]

nah it's permanent

[placid shadow]

it's permenant untill they nerf it or bring something stornger for looting

[obsidian hatch]

been here for like half a year already

[placid shadow]

along with the dx11 crashes

[lunar nimbus]

I see. They probably won’t update it 😂

[obsidian hatch]

overall, I don't think countdown make open world obsolete due to reasons above

what is obsolete however

is that 100 floors thing

[lunar nimbus]

They haven’t fix the crashing since 2020 wtf

[placid shadow]

floors are irrelevant imo now

dead content wasted time

[obsidian hatch]

fr, the loot drops way too infrequent compared to Countdown

[smoky stag]

legendary floor 100 oxi farm still has one of the best XP/loot farms out there

[placid shadow]

countdown compleatly replaced the tower

[obsidian hatch]

before at least you got the incentive that it's the only place you can select your desired loot

[placid shadow]

didn't they nerf it to the ground lol ?

[obsidian hatch]

oh that leans more on an exploit tbh

so I'm just talking in case it gets nerfed

[smoky stag]

you're talking about 10F
100F while reduced from what it was is still solid for it

[placid shadow]

ah yeah

[obsidian hatch]

ye that's true, you still get a ton of loot from 100f

[placid shadow]

but agian same shit over and over

[obsidian hatch]

the only novelty it has for me is that I can play legendary but with random setups every floor instead of having to do the 5 strongholds

a good place to stress test builds and what not

[placid shadow]

all i'm saying they cold make irrelevant content useful again

like super boosted missions with shitloads of loot daily or weekly idk

[smoky stag]

everything in this game is the same shit on repeat.
you're just serving them on different plates

[placid shadow]

yeah but some of it gives you next to nothing

so it's like "id rather do this"

[obsidian hatch]

probably the general consensus for looter shooter in general

shit I mean if I'm bored of playing div2, I'll just hop on MW2

bored of MW2, I'll hop on BF

[placid shadow]

hows mw2 on pc btw

i see mostly negative reviews on steam

[obsidian hatch]

it's great tbh. I like it a lot more than MW1. The HUD tho needs some overhaul

[placid shadow]

and the stability ?

most people complain about it crashing a lot

[obsidian hatch]

again I think it depends from person to person with the crashing

I for once never run into any issues with MW2. Div2 however...

[placid shadow]

ill give it a shot if i get some more time to spare

[obsidian hatch]

you can buy it on sale if you feel like it

weapons balancing in general is much better and that I really like

not being stuck with the same M4 or MP5 is a breathe of fresh air

[placid shadow]

it's more time i'm worried about , wife takes more time than i thought 😄

shit

[obsidian hatch]

good thing I don't have a wife

[placid shadow]

i remember playing div 2 non stop

when it came out, now i can't do that

[obsidian hatch]

same. My first 500 hours is within the first 6 months

it's crazy

[placid shadow]

yeah, honestly i love the game that's why i really wish this to get fixed

and i worry since new division on snowdrop engine

gonna have the same problems on pc

[obsidian hatch]

bruh fr. These random crashes is un🐻 able

[placid shadow]

ye

[obsidian hatch]

sometimes I can game for like 5 hours straight with the folks and not getting any crashes

sometimes it 5 crashes within an hour

[placid shadow]

i can sometimes go days without crashing then one day i crash like 5-6 times in few hours

that's what i'm saying it's really inconsistent

[obsidian hatch]

someone said it before but the game is an 8/10, maybe even 9/10 for a looter shooter... when it doesn't crash

it's extremely frustrating when the game doesn't want you to play it

[polar warren]

I ran into some GvG clan last night. Some dude was using a Hive launcher that had Atleast 20 nodes. It was scary

[azure lintel]

Yo, I played a bit of division 1 on xbox when it came out and enjoyed it ALOT. Is 2 as good/better? i just bought it

[polar warren]

As a TD1 vet I don’t think it’s better really but it does feel like a sequel instead of just a straight copy, I don’t think anything will top the atmosphere of 1.

[azure lintel]

true

is it atleast comparable in terms of quality?

[polar warren]

I think so yeah

[azure lintel]

thats good enough of an endorsement for me

[faint umbra]

Some things better in TD2 but TD1 was better overall. TD2 has a lot more content and better quality than TD1

[inland garden]

just got dc after finding a backpack called the gift

did i just miss out on something dope

[hybrid ore]

It's DZ/named cache locked, so you can get it back again.
tldr is that it's a named backpack with perfect Vigilance, fairly meta for a lot of builds, as long as you're not getting hit.

[inland garden]

dope

the name was pretty cool so hopefully i can get it again

[hybrid ore]

Hopefully RNG will gift it to you again.

[north cloak]

It's also worth mentioning that Providence gear is targeted in DZ east, so that's a good way to get it

Took me around an hour to find one

[frozen meadow]

today it is?

[north cloak]

Yes

Stepped foot in DZ for the first time in a loooong while

[frozen meadow]

ah

[north cloak]

I thought it was a lot of fun, it's cool to just make a temporary group

Also you get a crap ton of optimization stuff

[nocturne beacon]

Even though I barely have any exotics I still keep getting dupes😭

3 bullet kings now

[surreal orbit]

Mmmmm exotic components….

[nocturne beacon]

👃👃👃

[surreal orbit]

What? You’ll need em later. I farm 12 to 20 exotic components a day for expertise 10+….

[hybrid ore]

I keep seeing that nose emote, what does it actually mean?

[thorny talon]

Its means he smells

[hybrid ore]

because Buddha is right, you need a lot more than 3 Exotic Components when you get into Expertise levelling.

[brave aspen]

Logs in to PTS
Hovers mouse above DC map while in NYC
Game crashes

[surreal orbit]

55 exotic components required to get one item from expertise 10 to expertise 20…. And another 20 to go to expertise level 21… that last level is a waste imo, way too expensive.

[rustic oyster]

When is it rolling out to consoles?

[brave aspen]

never

PTS easier to do on PC

Console certification being the reason

[surreal orbit]

Are you asking about the pts or the actual update with the changes included in the pts?

[low lily]

Maybe you should upgrade 🐱

[rustic oyster]

Update.

[surreal orbit]

Maybe a month, maybe when current season ends, maybe longer. Has not been announced.

[snow hawk]

Guy's should focus on Armor or DMG?

[low flame]

For solo dps

[snow hawk]

Appreciate

[low flame]

In most content dps is the best and tanks are only needed in the iron horse raid

[snow hawk]

Good to know

[thorny talon]

Upgrade cat?

[nocturne beacon]

The dz is so shit

[surreal orbit]

There is something oddly satisfying about buying 2 million in pistols and chest pieces just to deconstruct them for the components…. Mmmmm destruction….

[nocturne beacon]

It’s just full of squads with 2mil dps stinger hives and ARs that kill you in 2 shots

[thorny talon]

Oh someone had full course dz experience.welcome to the club son

[surreal orbit]

🤣😆😂

[cinder nacelle]

I remember in the first game there was space to lone wolf it in the DZ which was fun. Not viable anymore I think.

[surreal orbit]

Solo DZ server FTW!…

At least for farming anyway

[nocturne beacon]

Looks like I’m sticking to PvE

[thorny talon]

You wont miss out on anything important

[nocturne beacon]

I just captured a landmark with the people that were killing me. Most random shit ever

[silk wind]

Im just getting into the Division 2 and finally got access to the East Dark Zone. Found a pink AUG and some dude snatched it up and then went rouge and killed me

[frozen meadow]

?

[surreal orbit]

Beware, they may plan on robbing you after a few landmarks. Standard tactic…

[frozen meadow]

wdym pink

[kind pulsar]

Been a while, hello agents

[nocturne beacon]

I didn’t pick anything up so I hoped they wouldn’t kill me 😂

[polar warren]

Probably meant purple. Different screen settings show colors differently

[frozen meadow]

you never know

[silk wind]

Yea, i Meant pink as in rarity

[frozen meadow]

its a purple

[surreal orbit]

There is no pink… purple, gold, red, the top 2 being better…

[silk wind]

Ok sorry, I found a purple AUG and some dude snatched it up and then went rouge and killed me

[frozen meadow]

meh purples dont matter endgame

[surreal orbit]

Standard in DZ…

[frozen meadow]

exotics are orange imo

[silk wind]

I was excited because I legit started playing yesterday

[ornate juniper]

My game keeps crashing anyone know a fix?
im just playing normally and then it makes itself into windowed mode and freezes and the start meu page and i cant do anything but close it and restart

[thorny talon]

Prepare for more experience like such in dz. Its the strong preying on weak

[silk wind]

Honestly I was vibin, I played Division 1 when it was out so I know what to expect haha

[frozen meadow]

lol

[thorny talon]

Read steam review someone posted a fix

[ornate juniper]

where can i read it haha

[thorny talon]

Open steam dumfck

[polar warren]

[frozen meadow]

lmfao

the game was just launched a few days ago on steam

[thorny talon]

Scour through them or sort by most rewarded

[frozen meadow]

there cant be that many

[polar warren]

First time in a games discord ??? Expecting real help in general ???

[ornate juniper]

325

[frozen meadow]

yeah not many

[polar warren]

Wait until this guy finds out about excel spreadsheets

[ornate juniper]

🤓

[thorny talon]

Open 'Exploit Protection' settings in Windows, switch to the 'Programme settings' tab, click 'Add programme to customise' and click 'Choose exact file path'. You'll want to navigate to your Tom Clancy's Division 2 install folder, and you will see 3 application files. EACLaunch, TheDivision2 and thedivison2launcher. You will need to do the following for all three of these.

Select one of the applications and it will open the 'Programme settings: (application name.exe)'. What you want to do, is click all of the 'Override system settings' check boxes on top of switching any toggle that becomes active to 'Off'. Once this is done, click Apply and do it for the other 2 application files for The Division 2.

[frozen meadow]

i personally would not do that

but to each their own

[thorny talon]

I honestly dont mind the 1 hour crash as it reminds me to go out and touch grass

[frozen meadow]

i just dont crash lol

[ornate juniper]

theres no grass to touch where i am anyway so

only 2 meters of snow

rather stay inside

[thorny talon]

Tropical islanders keep winning 😎

[frozen meadow]

until you want to buy something

[thorny talon]

😔

[azure lintel]

I saw a clip of somebody with mortar turret in the white house, how?

[kind pulsar]

"Touch grass"
Bro I'm gaming on the moon, how do I do it?

[frozen meadow]

wdym

[inner elbow]

Sadly I don't have the luxury of crashing every hour
Played 12 hours and didn't crash once
But don't worry I will go and touch grass for 3 hours today 😊

[azure lintel]

Artillery turret shooting in the white house

[inner elbow]

Touch the dead rovers 😳

[frozen meadow]

You mean like, the shooting range?

[azure lintel]

Next to the pilot

[frozen meadow]

Either it's faked or a bug, either way it doesn't mean anything

[inner elbow]

Is the turret within the compound?

[azure lintel]

I wanna know how to do it 🤣

I think they lag switch and the game can't process the fact they entered a safe area

[frozen meadow]

I don't think that's possible

[kind pulsar]

Let's goooooooo

[mint jackal]

Who’s ready for the Ninja Bike Bag next season, all the build possibilities!!!

[raw geyser]

is the game crossplay between the U-Play and Steam versions on PC

[ebon pelican]

Any version that isn't on Ubi, launchs the Ubi client for you anyways and runs the game through that. So to answer your question. There's "crossplay" no matter where you buy it on PC.

[turbid vale]

is there a guide or resource for a returning player who just bought the expansion?

[midnight skiff]

Got to tier 100, decided to buy the pass, got shorted 7 caches and 2 of them are exotics. how can i fix this?

[north cloak]

Look In your mailbox

You can only hold 20

So the rest get sent there

I got worried too when I bought it

[ebon pelican]

^ Most things that don't fit in your inventory or are sent from events end up there if you don't have space, or aren't online when they're given to you

[winter radish]

#new-player-resources

[turbid vale]

looked there didnt find what i was looking for.. thank you

[ebon pelican]

What sort of guidance are you looking for more exactly?

[turbid vale]

found a video though. thank you!

kind of like what to do.. and all the stuff going on. been years since i played and just got the expansion

prob gunna run the main missions then figure stuff out as i go,.

[winter radish]

Since you just bought the expansion, you shouldn't worry about all this too much for now. Most of the stuff you'll learn as you go and right now, your focus should be to finish the expansion and get to level 40 since this is where most of the gameplay mechanics, systems, builds and such really come into play

[turbid vale]

yup figuired as much... ty

[ebon pelican]

Well, there's the obvious hand-holdy parts with all the main missions and side missions that are pointed out painfully. Then you have the normal stuff you're perhaps aware of that were the endgame in DC from the first portion of the game: Strongholds, Black Tusk Invaded missions, etc.

After that part, you have the "endgame" activities introduced in the DLC, Summit, Countdown, Legendary Strongholds, etc.

The "In between" content that ties in both the main game and the DLC would be the Park mission with the blask tusk, and the Pentagon missions. Since their overall theme over-archs with how the game ends in the beginning.

Lastly, you have the seasonal manhunts which give you more lore about what happened. Once you've hit level 40, the seasonal track unlocks and you can do that as the very much last thing to catch yourself up with the story. As you level up in the seasonal track you'll permanently unlock previous manhunt targets and get to do their missions in the order they appear to figure out where we've reached in the story/unlock their stuff.

[hardy wraith]

just ran into a hunter that saw me and immediately ran away and smoke bombed

tf does that mean

[ebon pelican]

That's a special hunter that you're supposed to catch with your peripheral vision, and kill in one shot before they leave with a sniper shot to the head with a strong build.

[hardy wraith]

bruhhhhhhh

i was literally hiding behind a wall idk how he even saw me

[ebon pelican]

AI in this game knows when you're aiming in their general direction

It's why in higher difficulties they won't pop out of cover until you look somewhere else entirely (which is a dogsheit balancing mechanic if you ask me, but whatever)

If memory serves, that Hunter was so annoying for most people that they added another method to spawn him and get him to hold still, so you can eventually get his stuff

(They did that with another hunter as well, cause his puzzle was too abstract for the community to figure out)

[hardy wraith]

yeah im doing some research trying to figure out who tf he is

i think he is the midas hunter cause of his yellow mask but yeah that sucks that i didnt know about that till he ran away

[winter radish]

was this in the courtyard next to DUA?

[gleaming meadow]

i was wondering if i buy the division 2 on steam will it be like a second account? cuz i have div 2 on ubi, and i wanted it to be seperate from that account

[winter radish]

You'd have to create a new Ubi account the first time you start the game on Steam

[rare dust]

anyone els having problems with inviting friends through ubisoft?

[feral flare]

should i buy TD2 on steam or its not worth it?

[safe nymph]

👍

$9 lol

[timber hatch]

It's a great game that crashes sometimes. Well worth less than the price of a fast food meal, and ditto for the dlc too

[fiery cloud]

Hey Crash, Rivens, Eevee, Buddha, Poly,Raucey

[surreal orbit]

Hey Saph

[sand dagger]

Is the friends list not working in uplay or ingame? - Nothings loading on my end?

[fiery cloud]

hop out then come back in

[sand dagger]

I closed out uplay and the game and restarted both game and pc and its just blank. game loads fine and so does uplay. Just doesn't load. When in-game, i can't even see nearby players in the social section

Worked last night fine and then launched today and find this :/

Somethings must be going on with ubisoft connect as when I go to the uplay on the web it says Ubisoft connect is not available at the moment 😦

[fiery cloud]

ok might have to verify files

i just got the same thing

[hollow vigil]

these crash issues really ruin the fun of the game

[sand dagger]

😦 I checked downdetector for Ubi Connect and its shows a big spike

[coral igloo]

Got catharis as a world drop lol

[fiery cloud]

nice

[plucky relic]

Hi,I'm new here

[mortal agate]

Is there a division 2 lfg for pc here?

[tender wave]

yes, it's only visible if you select the PC role though

[mortal agate]

Ah, I see. Thanks, Kettle 🙂

[mellow acorn]

They got skills aswell😎

[crystal umbra]

Anyone Know The Best Way To Get A Eagle Bearer?

[mellow acorn]

Follow lite beer youtuber , he got video how to fix crashes and it was working for me. Maybe 1 crash a day playing, i mean 16 hrs+

[hollow vigil]
