Unlocked backfire from a crate, it’s really good especially with the memento backpack that allows you to get armor for every kill when you pick the trophies up

But is there a way to get immune from bleeding? If so anyone know where to go?

[molten spire]

2x Ceska, 1x Yaahl, hazard protection on all pieces or a bleed resist mod for every hazard protection roll you couldn't get

you will be totally immune to bleed and mostly immune to other status effects. The problem is everything else

[idle sparrow]

Thank you!

[pulsar cosmos]

After running Red and Blue builds the past week as a new player I thought I'd try Yellow and put together a 3 Empress, 2 Hana U and 1 Wyvern set with the Force Multiplier backpack.

Other than when the EMP hits it feels like a totally different game

I've never seen Chungas melt in less than 6 seconds so effortlessly.

[quick tendon]

empress is pretty powerful in itself when you've got all three pieces. It's so efficient. 🙂

Have the Wyv/Hana helps a lot too.

I've had to do some rethinking when I was working up a new skill build when I started playing on the PC.

[grim marlin]

Hello,
Can Memento drop as mission reward in normal Anderson mission ?
Been farming that for days and no Memento...yikes

[tender wave]

It can, just rng.

[lyric spoke]

I ran summit and got it

Floor 81?

[vague palm]

do I need to unlock memento through season pass before drop or

[frozen meadow]

no

[frozen meadow]

its in the general loot pool

[main delta]

I’ve gotten more than one

Just target farm for backpacks at challenging+

Can you get it on hard? Sure it’s just less likely

[frozen meadow]

very unlikely

i think 2 or 3%?

2

[main delta]

“I got 2” of them when target farming for backpacks or finish the Anderson manhunt and run it a bunch and try and get it that way

[frozen meadow]

1 normal, 2 hard, 3 challenging, 5 heroic

if i got my numbers right

[dull bluff]

What is the fastest way to get shd level right now? Is it done solo or in a team? I need to get to 1000

[main delta]

Bump up global difficulty and farm convoys

[frozen meadow]

henlo

[dull bluff]

I've been hunting convoys solo in challenging 4 directives.

Hardest i can do. Is this it. Or is there faster.

[vague palm]

thxthx

[serene jay]

How I do get weapon alloys because I'm not getting any when i deconstruct or do I need dlc?

[surreal orbit]

If you go to your resources, and highlight a specific material, it will tell you where you can find it.

[serene jay]

Ohh alright, thank you

[frozen meadow]

weapon alloys are slow af to get

if you deconstruct a rifle it gives you 1 rifle alloy

etc

[serene jay]

I got frustrated why I wasn't getting any weapon alloys and ended up deconstructing all of my useless legendary weapons and got nothing

[vapid crypt]

if you can manage to find an invaded dz without any people, thats prolly the only way thats "easy"

[surreal orbit]

Rifle drops rifle, lmg drops lmg, etc. and only one each as was said above

[vapid crypt]

not sure if its faster, but i defo found it crazy quick esp with some friends

[dull bluff]

I want to play with 5 directives including pistolero but I don't have Regulus. That's why I want it so bad so I can farm convey and get more xp.

What other good pistols are there I can use?

Preferably not the swapping kind and actually decent pistol id use.

[frozen meadow]

Uh d50

[balmy cedar]

The recoil on that thing is so weird lol

Any of the magnums is my preference

[frozen meadow]

There aren't many good sidearms outside regulus :p

[dull bluff]

Finding a raid is a nightmare.

[balmy cedar]

Join the gcrock server

They have experienced people who run raids

#lfg-raid-console also has the same

[dull bluff]

Ah screw the regulus. Gonna go craft liberty and cry myself to sleep.

[surreal orbit]

If you run the gunner spec you get ammo every 60 seconds which kinda negates pistolero. Also get armor on kill which kinda negates hard to earn…

[dull bluff]

But then that would be the only source of ammo right? Would i run out midfight tho?

I do play gunner.

[surreal orbit]

I wind up completely full, as long as I don’t fast travel to a safe house I’m good

[balmy cedar]

I have but that’s if they spread out and I’m out of range

So I’m just emptying bullets into thin air

With smgs it runs out…

[surreal orbit]

And on initial encounters, I use my pistol and almost fill up on ammo right there. Gunner just keeps it going from there. When xp farming I always run 5 directives.

[vital sequoia]

@tired cairn can you add steam rank when registering to channel roles for Zira BOT?

[tender notch]

Dont ping the Devs please.

also Steam is the exact same as PC

[pine knoll]

can i get 1 to 1 sens when i ads

[frozen meadow]

?

[frozen meadow]

wdym

[pine knoll]

so its the same sens ads and not ads

relative to fov

[frozen meadow]

?

ive not a clue what youre saying

[pine knoll]

then ur stupid ngl

[frozen meadow]

rude

[pine knoll]

idk how to make it any simpler

[frozen meadow]

youre just rude

[pine knoll]

im not im just pointing out ur lack of brain cells

[wintry chasm]

you could literally just elaborate on what you're trying to say when they don't understand

[surreal orbit]

@pine knoll Ngl, don’t understand you either. How about in English

Guessing you’re using terms from another game. Maybe use division 2 speech….

[tender notch]

@pine knoll re read the rules dude

[tender wave]

He's saying he wants the same mouse sensitivity regardless of whether he's aiming down sights or not.

Relative to the change in field of view

(I assume in practice that means the same amount of mouse movement required to look to the edge of the current screen regardless of zoom level)

[frozen meadow]

ohhh

[tender wave]

There is a separate zoom sensitivity level in the options, but I haven't tested what you'd want it set to and I don't know if it affects unscoped ads-ing as well as scoped.

[frozen meadow]

i didnt understand what he meant by ads because im like "what do ads have to do with sensitivity"

am i killing enemies to raise my sensitivity xD

[teal oar]

adverts inside your scope?

[frozen meadow]

advertisements

[pastel breach]

Is there any way to get extended 7.62 mag or do I just have to farm the blueprint 😦

[frozen meadow]

just have to farm it

[pastel breach]

damn

[wintry chasm]

so i just saw that after i progressed into world tier 2, the control points i recaptured are all now under enemy control again
is that meant to happen each time you progress a world tier?

[azure lintel]

Yes

[surreal orbit]

Yes, and it’s better to keep them red anyway. Then hostile resource convoys will spawn, and you can farm them again for gear once you reach end game

[wintry chasm]

oh neat

[limber hound]

Heya fam, I was wondering if someone could help me read out my characters face settings. I reset my PC not too long ago, and forgot to save my notes that had that data in it. Does the game have that kind of feature? And if yes, where can I access it? Or do I have to dig into save files if those exist?

I may need this resource incase the game crashes/disconnects and kills my Hardcore run. lol

[frozen meadow]

It doesn't save character features since they are permanent when you create your character

[azure lintel]

Shouldn't be too hard to remake. The character creation is terrible and lacks options

[azure lintel]

I don't believe so, no

[thorny talon]

whatever u trying to ask it doesnt work as save files are server side

only graphics settings save as local

[limber hound]

Arghhh, too bad then. I was hoping I could keep my current look going. Even though I agree the options you have are mostly terrible. I feel bad not having the data on hand anymore.

[thorny talon]

new day new me should be the most next optimistic option for you

[limber hound]

I get the idea, but I still enjoy what I have. 😂

Hmmm, I think I have an idea, but thanks for the help guys. o/

[surreal orbit]

Interestingly enough, last time I went to the barber/mirror, it had all the character manipulation options you get on start up. Always thought you could only change hair/color, tattoos, scars & war paint…..

[frozen meadow]

??????

[limber hound]

Wait, is this true?

[surreal orbit]

Was the last time I went with a level 40 character, just the other day

[frozen meadow]

First I've heard that

[limber hound]

Gonna check it out as soon as I can, much appreciated!

[surreal orbit]

Was the most recent character that I ran through wony, but I don’t see why that would make a difference.

[azure lintel]

Yes it was in QOL update

Backup never arrives but in the rare occasion it does, its some spanner who runs off and does his own thing 🫣

[surreal orbit]

Time to kick…

[azure lintel]

Ye but then never get support. Game so dead outsude of the hub.

How are people like 5K + SHD level?

[surreal orbit]

Playing since day one like me. I’m 10k+…

[azure lintel]

How you still playing since day one? Not much to do really. I played at launch and played dlc but besides that and some lazy tower mode I don't see any changes

[surreal orbit]

Speed running raids, answering calls for backup, expertise, DZ. Although I am starting to lose interest a bit…

[azure lintel]

Pfft.. raids always fail through matchmaking sadge

[surreal orbit]

Gotta have a team for speed runs.

[azure lintel]

Just a completion enough would be nice but turns into endless loop through matchmaking

[fiery cloud]

Hey Azurmen32, Buddha, Eevee, Kettle,Vsvm

[azure lintel]

AI really pi**ing me off right now though. Just trying to do the convoy kills quick but amazingly coded AI just running off into the distance 😦

[fiery cloud]

Hope everyone has a great gaming day

[surreal orbit]

Hey Saph 👋

[wintry chasm]

black tusk isn't as tough as i remembered
before i started all over again, im pretty sure i had to use armour kits much more often than i used to and they'd always put me in the disadvantage

[frozen meadow]

what difficulty

[wintry chasm]

normal, always played games on normal unless i wanna challenge myself

[frozen meadow]

thats why

normal is like stupendously easy

[wintry chasm]

oh

[frozen meadow]

throw it to heroic

im sure you will change your mind almost immediately

[limber hound]

I agree, heroic is pretty spicy and not too overwhelming.

[lilac kestrel]

What exactly is the damage value i should be looking for on a gun i keep hearing people talk specifically about the vector but i was looking at the weapon spreadsheet and i saw the tommy gun and the sleiaghor do like 2.7 mill on total mag im confused

[frozen meadow]

2.7 mil on one mag is awful

you should at least be aiming for 1 mil a shot

[lilac kestrel]

Well yeah with a build of course but i mean for just finding the better guns how do i sort them out

[frozen meadow]

what gun type do you want

[gloomy wyvern]

The numbers he's talking about don't include bonuses from crit damage, headshot damage, or any red cores. Those spreadsheets only show the weapons base damage

[surreal orbit]

Yes, the higher difficulties will definitely test your build. With a good build you can breeze through heroic.

[frozen meadow]

ah

well the guns are shit so it wouldn surprise me either way lmfao

[lilac kestrel]

I was mainly looking for ar but people keep saying to use the vector or smg moreso for red builds

[frozen meadow]

wa

thats just preference

[surreal orbit]

Your listening to the wrong people, guessing YouTube?

[lilac kestrel]

Kind of yeah

[frozen meadow]

dont follow anything you hear off youtube

[surreal orbit]

Avoid it like the plague when it comes to builds. See pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[gloomy wyvern]

I tend to prefer the Carbine 7. Mk16 is very stable, Famas hits hard but the recoil can be annoying. It's all about how you like to play. Play around with different AR's and figure out which one feels the best to you

[frozen meadow]

ive never had a problem with famas recoil

feels pretty smooth to me and i hit pure streams of headshots

[gloomy wyvern]

I've found if I want to easily hit headshots at range the Mk16 was the best. Again it's all about what feels best to you

[lilac kestrel]

My accuracy i have on my famas is a little to low for me to hit consistent headshots farther then like 15 m but its still a strong stable weapon

[frozen meadow]

if you cant hit closer than 15m then get closer

[gloomy wyvern]

He's also on consoles

[frozen meadow]

aria's advice:
if you cant hit shit, get closer

[lilac kestrel]

Lol

[limber hound]

I don't understand the issue of not being able to hit things. Shooters are basically just point and click adventures. 😛

[gloomy wyvern]

Console player's have no idea what a point and click adventure is

[limber hound]

Errr for console I guess it would be...drag and smash?

:chuckle:

[wintry chasm]

smash whatever button you need to press

[frozen meadow]

And throw the controller when it doesn't

[quick tendon]

I'm at work, so, uh... no. 😄

[lament mirage]

Same

[quick tendon]

Hey, I'm using a controller on the PC! 😛 (still can't get used to K/M, after playing TD1/TD2 for so long on the console)

[fiery cloud]

Hey RIRI

[gloomy wyvern]

Heresy

[lament mirage]

Hey Saph

[lament mirage]

Taste the rainbow 🌈

[quick tendon]

For the Emperor!

(personally, I'm more comfy using a controller, as I lounge in the chair)

[gloomy wyvern]

To each his own

[serene jay]

Where do we find hunters fury gear?

[gloomy wyvern]

Check the targeted loot. You can also set the summit and countdown to hunter's fury

[serene jay]

I can't find it with targetted loot and any other way besides summit and countdown?

[gloomy wyvern]

Targeted loot changes every 24 hours. If you don't want to wait just go for summit and countdown

[serene jay]

Ohh it changes

Thanks

[azure lintel]

LMG good for anything? Tried multiple and seem like an inferior assault rifle. Only thing if noticed is suppress but that's worse imo as you gotta wait an hour for them to come back out

[tender wave]

that's pretty accurate. There are occasional situations where they can be useful but on the whole you're better off with an AR

[gloomy wyvern]

They can be useful against enemies who can't be surpressed but in general ARs are better

[azure lintel]

Can I use 2xAR lol?

If not guess I'll get a shotty

[gloomy wyvern]

of course you can. Just keep in mind if you run out of ammo you're down to your pistol

[azure lintel]

Nvm both don't have separate ammo pool. I'll probably just use AR and whatever a good set of gear requires. Maybe just a shotty for armored when they push

[rough lion]

whats the fastest way to find rouge agents?

[surreal orbit]

Summit, on the higher floors, 50+. Step out the elevator, if you hear “rogue agents detected” proceed. If not return to lobby, rinse and repeat till you get em’…

[rough lion]

soon as i typed that i found them on summit xD

trying to get ridgeways pride and that was the last thing i needed 😄

[surreal orbit]

👍

[quick tendon]

oooh right, that's the summit thing (Pride). I need to do more floors! :sigh:

And the sidequest for the holster.

[quick tendon]

I get anxiety when I hear that door ding.
Keep expecting to hear ISAC telling me about Rogue Agents. ☠️

[cloud sage]

About how often does the Kenly College become available?

[brazen mountain]

That when you know it's on

[plush otter]

its available everytime there is a new manhunt week on the season, so wont be available till next season

[brazen mountain]

Summit rule 1: When ISAC says rogue agents detected just don't leave the door room

[cloud sage]

Alright, thanks.

[balmy cedar]

Just finished taking over the entire map of control points in dc

That took forever 🥲

[wintry chasm]

talk about stabilising the situation

[plush otter]

well done

now reset

and do it again

[balmy cedar]

I changed difficultly and it wiped it out 🫠

[wintry chasm]

oh.

[plush otter]

yeah, that will do that, but atleast you should have gotten the backpack trophy if you didnt have it yet

[balmy cedar]

Also what concerns me is I deconstructed all the loot from a cp and it said +1 exotic components 🥲

Didn’t see any exotics laying around lol

[plush otter]

and for future, you can go NY or in one of the offsite missions, and change world diff there to keep your DC map captured

[balmy cedar]

Ooooh

That’s good to know I intend to keep it all captured so I can use them as fast travel points to find all collectibles

[balmy cedar]

Yup got it, just don’t see why it never gave me it in story mode lol

[plush otter]

even then some will get recaptured from time to time aswell btw, but can be handy to keep on one char, for thefast travel and resources

[paper phoenix]

I get excited. Maybe a little giggly, switch to my HF/Scorpio build and crush em.

[plush otter]

i keep one of my chars world green to be used for bounty farming, easier in a green world where you have a ton more fast travel points

[balmy cedar]

I found the resource convoys that like to hide, as soon as the map was reclaimed there was like 16 on the map 😂

[surreal orbit]

I find keeping them green is a waste. There are plenty of fast travel spots imo. Especially if you have the classified assignment missions. Worth more to me to have resource convoys spawning on the regular and 2 named enemies to farm on heroic CP’s…. But to each his own…

[balmy cedar]

Oh yea I don’t mind it being red just wanna be able to get all the collectibles in peace

[surreal orbit]

No need for them to spawn if they got nowhere to take resources to.

[plush otter]

depends on if you resource convoy farm, not everyone does

[brave aspen]

Random drop from control points

[balmy cedar]

Good to know

[shadow lantern]

@everyone so i have a question and itd be great to find a solution

i want the capacitor and i read it can be obtained by completing 5 challenges in summit problem is though i completed doozens of challenges never got it

[balmy cedar]

Could be in your mailbox

[shadow lantern]

nope

[grim charm]

Don't you just get Capacitor for reaching floor 30? I did that today and got it

[balmy cedar]

You get an exotic cache from the weekly summit challenge

[grim charm]

Yea got that too

[balmy cedar]

Hmm not sure then

[grim charm]

But might just be coincidence that I completed 5 challenges after Floor 29

Played Summit 1st time today

[plush otter]

.... at everyoneing in a huge server like this..... how do people even think that would work

[shadow lantern]

opend allready 12 and still nothing

[balmy cedar]

Go to the crafting vendor and see if you can buy a blueprint for it

Or see if you already have it

If you do you may have deconstructed it

But you can also farm for it if that’s the case, best option I can think of other than redo the 5 challenges

[shadow lantern]

no i cant tried allready

i do challenge after challenge every day not working

[balmy cedar]

But do you have the blueprint?

[shadow lantern]

my target loot is 90% of my time in summit set to ar

[shadow lantern]

no i dont

[balmy cedar]

And it’s not at the vendor?

[shadow lantern]

nope

[balmy cedar]

Are you setting both a tactical challenge and ascent challenge ?

[grim charm]

did you make sure to do 5 different challenges? I just checked and I indeed did 5 that I found easy today

[balmy cedar]

What I’m understanding about it is two challenges are set at the same time

• when one becomes completed you set a new one and should be working towards both of them without returning to the lobby

[shadow lantern]

i did dozens of both

[smoky stag]

try farming heroic floor 90 with AR as targeted loot

[shadow lantern]

and in the reward table it doesnt show it as reward as it should

i run legendary 90% of all runs

[smoky stag]

then do legendary floor 90

[low flame]

Did you do it all in one run?

[shadow lantern]

i dont have a savespot for floor 90 and solo flegendary is suicide

[smoky stag]

get a floor 90
i'd disagree on solo legendary bein suicide but thats a different story

u on PC?

[shadow lantern]

of course usualy i finish around 6-8 of each in 1, 1-100 run

so if i could find people to help me farm i got 1.5 hours left b4 i gotta head off

[smoky stag]

if you on PC, and if you can get a floor 90, I'll help you get it for about 30mins to an hour
im bored.

since its already on my loot pool

[shadow lantern]

what makes floor 90 so special

[low flame]

Higher drop rate

[smoky stag]

3 bosses. kill em, leave 1 npc alive. leave the floor. go up to 90. ad infinitum

its the classic summit farm for anything

i mean for those who cant do summit 100F oxi farm

[shadow lantern]

i see i usualy run all 100 rinse and repeat

[smoky stag]

well, from a casual standpoint, 90F is "faster" because you dont have to go thru a first room to get to the floor boss that drops the loot

[shadow lantern]

so anyone here who has time to step in and help out? im in group voice 2

[smoky stag]

lemme log in
PC right? What difficulty, directives you runninng and what floor u on?

[shadow lantern]

yes

usualy legendary no directives unles i know i got a decent team

but if i go solo i go hard and fog of war revisited

[wintry chasm]

just completed all endgame strongholds in one day with zero breaks
i feel accomplished

[shadow lantern]

but im currently back at floor 1 as i finished 100 yesterday

[smoky stag]

capacitor doesnt require legendary difficulty
you can do heroic with 6-7 directives to reduce clear times and increase droprate
can you try matchmaking for as high a floor cp as you can while i load in?

[balmy cedar]

Floor 10 is for xp right

[low flame]

Not anymore

[shadow lantern]

If i matchmaker people join me is rare I get puked into Sorge group I'll try though

[smoky stag]

not anymore. but i do 10F for loot farming, field recon, and a quick 30 floor clear for the weekly

[balmy cedar]

May I ask what happened?

[low flame]

Made it so that you can only get the xp once per floor

[smoky stag]

nerfed on 16.2

[balmy cedar]

Oh but before the change which was faster? Convoys or floor 10?

I never did it cause I wasn’t used to heroic solo at the time

[low flame]

Floor ten by a lot

[smoky stag]

floor 10
did 1000 levels in a 24 hour period (2 separate periods of 7 hours each in that time frame)

[plush otter]

on a sidenote, if you dont have the reconfiguration blueprint for capacitor, its not going to be in you exo pool, you would have to have someone drop it for you if the challenges reward bugged

[balmy cedar]

On average whenever you guys run a new character to level 40 how much of the shd points do you use up?

[smoky stag]

yeah thats why im gonna help him farm it as its on my loot pool

[smoky stag]

people who do, use all of em before they delete

[balmy cedar]

But like almost immediately I meant

Out of say 4000 or whatever 😂

I’m trying to gage how much of whatever resource you guys use to do optimization

[surreal orbit]

You use them all. Then delete the character and run again for more points.

[surreal orbit]

Depends. When I was upping my proficiency/expertise, I drained em all in a day. Then ran wony again for more points. Now 10k points last me like a month maybe. I use them for all available materials now, even currency to buy pistols, etc to deconstruct for receiver components, etc.

[balmy cedar]

I see

Has it always been where you can choose how much of the shd points you want to expend or is that a recent change

I remember having to do shd calibration one by one

[balmy cedar]

We’re you farming for other resources? Say for example deconstructing gear sets for titanium, electronics and carbon fiber ? I’ve only been using receiver components and protective fabric since those fill up really fast

Or you just used the watch and used your time on other stuff?

[wintry chasm]

should i hop into the new york dlc? just finished the four endgame strongholds in one day and im not really interested in the other activities

[balmy cedar]

Once you beat tidal basin I think you can go to nyc without interference

[wintry chasm]

alright

[balmy cedar]

The Coney Island missions I’d recommend as they tie directly with the dlc but it’s up to you

[surreal orbit]

With 10k watch points I can do whatever I want really

[balmy cedar]

I’m not entirely sure if you have to do all the offsite stuff … that is if you want to earn trophies on your character, best to let someone else confirm

[plush otter]

if you go to NY as a WT5 character, it keeps your progress exactly as it is as you arent boosting into WONY, everthing you havent completed will stay as it is and will be available once again once you finish the wony campaign.

[wintry chasm]

alrighty

[astral jacinth]

Don’t get attached to any of your gear once you hit nyc

[cinder wave]

ye i found that out @astral jacinth just dont know item sets yet or what too look out for

[astral jacinth]

You still won’t have to worry about that until after you beat wony

And even after beating it, it’s going to take some time to find the gear you need to fit your playstyle. You may not like the meta builds that are in this server, so an individual’s builds will go hand in hand with your game experience the longer you play the endgame

[frozen meadow]

hi

[river wyvern]

Anyone have good tips for summit? Im a solo sniper player, running hive for heal and drones for spotting enemies. Typically i have no problem against human form bots but when i run into drones and senteies...i dont know what to do. Especially those dog looking bots that throws grenades and machine gun mounted ones...

Is there an easier build for summit?

[low flame]

Roll away from grenades

Kill throwers first

[river wyvern]

Okay, but my dmg is shit with tots set when not hitting headshots...

[low flame]

Put on an automatic weapon when dealing with those

[river wyvern]

Tots is only good when u land a hs kill...but if a stage is all drones..

Ohh okie

[brazen mountain]

If a stage is all drone you can use EMP

[balmy cedar]

Also from what I’ve been told is ARs do more damage to warhounds cause of health damage attribute and also if you aim at the legs it ignores the armor

[low flame]

Also if you’re using headhunter and there are some enemies that can be killed with a headshot nearby kill them first then focus on the warhound

And yes warhounds only have health and ars have health damage as one of their core attributes so you’ll deal more damage to them with those

[balmy cedar]

For mini tanks I shoot the belt wheels to draw out the operator

[river wyvern]

Ohh ty! Didnt think of that!

[brazen mountain]

Ha... no one does

[river wyvern]

Thx all!

[surreal orbit]

Sniper dogs you shoot the joints at the top of their legs because it’s their weak point, mortar dogs you shoot the box on their ass because it’s their weak point…

[river wyvern]

I tried the box on mortar, but i didnt see yellow hit markers

[balmy cedar]

It breaks eventually and they stop spamming mortars at you - once you break it they take health damage

[tender wave]

Legs aren't armoured but do seem to have some level of damage reduction so it's not always faster to shoot them there (unless you have headhunter stacks, they ignore the damage reduction)

[pulsar cosmos]

I invariably accidentally hit it while trying to aim for their leg joints anyway.

[onyx token]

is the server going offline? I have a notification at the bottom of my screen saying server shutdown imminent

[balmy cedar]

Pray

[plush otter]

that message pops up sometimes, when it isnt for everyone like now, as i dont have it, it means its a visual bug, the times it has been real they usually also put it in #news-and-announcements that they are doing a off time maintenance, but those are rare

[onyx token]

ahh

thank you!

[grim charm]

Oh for real? Early bed cancelled then, I had it too, thought weekly downtime or something

[west hemlock]

For the warhounds, what I usually do is get HH going (I believe 1-2 stack should be enough), and just aim for their legs (not weakpoint/joints) and it 1 shots them. Works with Nemesis, Mantis and WD. Maybe run a decoy too to take some heat off you to do the above.

[sacred cairn]

Does anyone know when the ninja bike backpack is coming to ps4"?

Is the Anderson Manhunt solo-able on Normal? I can't seem to get a group for Challenging and I just wanna finish the manhunt. lol

[river wyvern]

Okay! Ill give that a try

[surreal orbit]

Yup

[surreal orbit]

Might have better luck in #lfg-playstation

[smoky meteor]

I finally got my Memento and that backpack entirely changed my playstyle... lol I'm so much more aggro now.

[surreal orbit]

Good piece, I just hate having to chase around and pick up the flags…

[vivid swift]

quick question r there in clan wars in Dark Zones ??

[silk wind]

when will GWH be invaded again 😦

[surreal orbit]

When it’s invaded again…

[silk wind]

Didn't know if there was a specific week rotation

[surreal orbit]

Nope, it’s down to that fickle mistress RNG…. 😂 😆🤣

[silk wind]

And everyone has the same invaded missions right?

[unique summit]

yea

[surreal orbit]

Yup, and won’t drop unless it’s a level 40 invaded GWH…

[vivid swift]

quick question r there in clan wars in Dark Zones ??

[silk wind]

No clue, I can imagine if two or more clans cooperated and scheduled one then maybe

[azure lintel]

what dh mean?

[silk wind]

It's referring to Operation Dark Hours

[azure lintel]

ahh

[silk wind]

and IH is Iron Horse

[azure lintel]

thx

[lime valley]

are images allowed here?

i found a funny and i took a screenshot

[surreal orbit]

Not here, but you can post in #ask-td2-community

[lime valley]

i dont have any questions

or like anything that fits within any of the channels lol

i just got 2 exotic holster drops from a challenging Capitol building run and its funny to me lol

[surreal orbit]

Ask if they think it’s funny….🤣😆😂

[lime valley]

LMFAO ON IT

[dull bluff]

How does one get an EB. Raid mates dropped one for me after doing Dh but I had to go work so quickly logged off and forgot to favorite it. Deconstructed it.

[balmy cedar]

Same way you got it unfortunately

It’s raid exclusive, it can only be gotten from the raid from each boss or from the final chest which you need to collect keys for, others can do it on your behalf

[dull bluff]

Ah thanks only did it once first time ever today. Nothing dropped from boss or chestm

So my only chance now is from boss or the chest which requires five keys right?

[balmy cedar]

Yes, you’ll be able to pick up five keys from the caches and I think each boss will give you one so once it resets say you run it after the reset you’ll have 10 keys by the end of your first run assuming you haven’t opened the chest yet meaning you can run back and forth and each time have 5 keys to make it to the end

This is just my theory tho so I’m not 100%

Just from what I recall people have told others

[regal wigeon]

question, for AR 2nd core is it just health damage???

[analog fiber]

is there still a weapon skill with health lifesteal?

[pliant karma]

I wanna cry man, I'm struggling with Keener

[analog fiber]

im coming back from the game after 4 years haha still at world tier 2 at 329 gear score

with random orange gears

[balmy cedar]

Yea each weapon class has its own fixed attribute

[analog fiber]

can I still play all the previously released episodes?

[balmy cedar]

Only the final manhunt

[regal wigeon]

tyty

[balmy cedar]

What’s this mean

[balmy cedar]

What difficulty

[analog fiber]

kinda like for every damage made gain 1% heal

[balmy cedar]

Um there exists such a thing but at endgame

Heartbreaker set - gain bonus armor for damaging pulsed enemy

For you tho at world tier 2 the 2 other options are badger tuff or gila guard,

Badger tuff 3 piece = armor on kill (10%)

Gila Guard 3 piece = 1% armor regen

[analog fiber]

would it be wise to keep the field cache until I reach the final world tier?

[balmy cedar]

Nah by then it’ll just give you stuff for your current world tier

And it’ll insult you

[pliant karma]

I'm doin story rn

[balmy cedar]

Oh do you have a rifle, just get as far away as possible back to where you came out from and pick him off

[analog fiber]

good to know about the Badger and Gila guard stuff. What about gears with plus damage? what brand is it?

[pliant karma]

Also do u not get prof caches anymore once u hit 40?

[balmy cedar]

You do

[pliant karma]

Then why am I not getting any

[balmy cedar]

But since it’s the season run your first 100 levels in the season will be toward the season track

After you complete the season track you’ll start getting them

[pliant karma]

I've dinged 3 times with no cache

[pliant karma]

Interesting

[knotty quail]

You get one every 4 levels

I think it's like that

Or was that just appearal keys?

[balmy cedar]

Don’t think so, you get season legacy caches and all that other stuff

[quiet sky]

Why when I donate equipment, I get different xp for different pieces, i bought 30 Vaal gloves and donated them and only maybe got a quarter way, but other equipment it only takes 10 pieces

So usually it takes 2 pieces to get one lev, it takes me 10 Vaal pieces to get a quarter level

[surreal orbit]

Yaahl

[fervent jacinth]

Ay yaal listen
When r we getting that spec revamp

[surreal orbit]

Around the same time they fix all the bugs…. 🤣😆😂

[dull bluff]

When I first got td2 I had 3 months of ps plus. And all I used it for was countdown and calling fornbackup. When it ran out only inconvenience was no more countdown forneasy farm. Didn't play much td2 in those 3 months. I got another 3 months but don't think ill be extending it. I want to do all the online exclusive stuff right now so when later I'm only soloing I didn't miss anything. Doing cd like heck for gear is a given and getting the raid exclusive exotics as well. Is there anything else? Ty

[astral roost]

TFW the hardest fight I've ever been in was a random Control Point after I accidentally raised it to AL 4. Even the final parts of story strongholds werent this tough.

[fervent berry]

You should try clearing a control point 4 on Heroic with at least 3 global directives on, then also clear a resource convoy and an elite patrol while you're at it 😂

[astral roost]

Spare me, I just reached WL4 yesterday

[fervent berry]

Oh yeah, and rogue agents came outta nowhere after we captured the CP

It was like my best mish-mash of luck that RNGesus has ever blessed me

[sterile ridge]

random ? I have not Played PS4/5 version in long time there cross platform play Between PS4 and PC so i can play with friends on PC my Pc version keeps creashing i check files and also uninstalled PC and reinstall ?

[balmy cedar]

More to ps plus, the 12 months is more worth your money but that’s if you’re a casual user, you pay more for the other subscriptions in the long run

[sterile ridge]

Yes and you get Free Games every Month

I think it is worth it I get a few years at a time when I find Cheap 12 month cards

[dull bluff]

Yeah I know 12 is worth waay more.

[analog fiber]

Just got back to td2 after years. How do I unlock episodes 1 to 3?

[shut bobcat]

ello poeple

the dark zone is cooked theres just two kids running around

i need someone to help ngl

[modest lintel]

cooking in dark zone

[tender wave]

Weapons and named or exotic gear takes 2 donations per level. Non named gear takes 10 donations per level. You can level those faster through play by equipping several different pieces though.

[quick tendon]

Morning. o7. On the console I have my HF/Scorpio build. Not a problem. PC, neither at the moment. And random summit groups makes me wonder which way it’s gonna go. 😄

[quick tendon]

Episodes? Manhunt season??

[shut bobcat]

Theres a group off like 7

[dull bluff]

That you can find any summit group is a great experience in itself. Cantbfind anyone for mstchmake in ps. Enjoy the pcnexperience with tens of thousands of new players lol.

[quick tendon]

I haven't had much problems with match make in PS. It's about the same as the PC, so far with doing random Heroic (or story to help the new folks).

There's periods of where I get nothing within the first five minutes, or a within 30sec of selecting matching.

But as for the player base, definitely don't see the same folks at times. 😄 Which is sad, in some cases, 'cos I don't come across them again - especially if they're really good and know what they're doing.

[dull bluff]

What difficulty?

Ah right heroic.

[naive inlet]

Is there any way someone could help lvl me to a high lvl

[broken solstice]

you should probably get used to the idea of leveling up mostly on your own

[naive inlet]

Oh ok thanks

[broken solstice]

theres help to be had dont get me wrong. but its not always gonna be there when you're having a play session

i would try calling for backup and hope you get someone to answer who is high level w a strong build

[quick tendon]

It's easy enough solo, for the most part. Better way to learn of your skills/abilities, before grouping. And learning your solo skills, can be helpful if in a group and the rest of your team is down for one reason or another.

Being power-levelled up isn't always good, impo.

[dull bluff]

Just do the story.

If want to play with others call for backup while doing it.

It'll take a bit of time but you'll reach max level when done with story.

[dreamy cipher]

what is the best way to farm shd levels fast?

[broken solstice]

playing the game for many hours. if you want the speediest XP do resource convoys, elite resource convoys, warhound convoys, elite territory controls

with directives on if you can

[quick tendon]

Lots of Heroics and Legendary. 😄 At least that's what I did for for console. MANY hours. No shortcuts. (I never did the summit cheat either)

[pearl owl]

so ummmm

is there a biiig difference between world difficulty levels?

I just started and one of the manhunt bounties on Challenging is making me wanna cry

[broken solstice]

yeah i think you already know the answer to your question

[quick tendon]

Take it slow and easy. Lots of cover. Skills have it easier than most others, impo.

[pearl owl]

orrrrr call for backup and get carried

[pliant karma]

That will be me

[quick tendon]

Are you in Normal world? I think that's what happened with my bounties. Normal, but the bounties were Challenging.

[pliant karma]

Bounties are challenging by default

[quick tendon]

Depending on your build, it's not too hard. Only issues is if you come across rogues or other groups in the same area. 😄

[pliant karma]

Build is most of my problem

[quick tendon]

"Noooo seeker, don't go that way! I don't bring them here."

[pearl owl]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-sad-cry-gif-24016801

zamn

[sacred sun]

Question
Is it better to farm on Countdown for gear or Summit?

[pliant karma]

I already did the manhunt with someone else and even that was very rage inducing. I'll get a full carry squad

[pearl owl]

painnnn

[quick tendon]

Matter of preference (and build with regards to CD).
Personally, I like Summit, but then again - I need to collect pieces for the armour (chest?) and get my 100 tag.

[sacred sun]

@quick tendon Thanks

[north cloak]

Important to point out, countdown IS faster, but you could do either

[pulsar cosmos]

Also luck

With a pretty good team you can take out all the Hunters and get a lot of loot in the extraction part.

But with an iffy team and bad luck you can die early on and not get any lmao

I'd go for Countdown while the population is still high and farming

[pearl owl]

with duplicate high end armour, is there any point to keeping them? or is it safe to just sell or scrap them all?

[quick tendon]

Depend on their stats. If they're greens, blues and purples... trash/dismantle.

[balmy cedar]

If you can change the talent on them I’d suggest keeping one or two

[quick tendon]

however, I would do my best to get them for the library

[balmy cedar]

Or say you want a piece with weapon handling

[quick tendon]

If they're perfect rolls, keep and then sort from there

[pearl owl]

uhhh what would be considered perfect rolls?

[quick tendon]

an example would be wyvern.
1 Skill, 10 Skill Damage, 10 Status Effect

compared to like,
Soko
WD 5, 3 Explosive Resist, 8 Weapon Handling

[north cloak]

What level are you?

Recal library is something you start to work on at level 40 after you beat the dlc

[balmy cedar]

You can recalibrate the talent on it or core attribute to whatever you want based on the secondary attributes such as golan gear with status effects and skill haste being rerolled to skill tier or you can change the talent on it freely

You can also have it at full stats in one to so optimizations and even a recalibration

[pliant sentinel]

been hit with shit teams for countdowns today

[north cloak]

The order for new loot is
1 see if you need it for a build, stash it if new exotic, or better one
2 check the recalibration library to see if you can extract stats
3 dismantle for mats if needed
4 donate as junk to the expertise system
5 sell

[pearl owl]

yaur I'm lvl 40 starting to go through some of the end game content

or at least trying to sort out what mechanic does what

[quick tendon]

That's a better way of doing things. 😄

Should pin that "What do I do with all this junk in the ..."

[pearl owl]

this game throws more random end game mechanics at you than warframe does 🤡

[quick tendon]

I think I tried that once on the playstation. I preferred Destiny over that. at the time.

[pearl owl]

sameee

although destiny 2 broke my poor heart

[pearl owl]

righto righto, thanks lots I was making a b-line for lvl 40 before so once I got here I suddenly had no idea what gear to keep

[north cloak]

Look in the pins in build advice and find a red or yellow one in the hub

Then as you get that build set up you are gonna learn the mechanics, and ask any questions as you go

[quick tendon]

As long as you're not a rainbow, you'll be fine. 🙂

[oblique sigil]

Is there any reason for us vets to head to NYC at all?

Like why haven't they done a part of the manhunt in nyc

You need the DLC to do manhunts anyway so we all have it

[buoyant fog]

Hello everyone

[pseudo obsidian]

hi thinking of buying division 2 how does the seasonal model work for this game

also seeing a lot o stuff about crashesin the steam reviews whats up with that

[low flame]

Every few months a new season comes out. Some content is locked behind this, specifically the manhunt content, where you need to wait a set amount of time until a target is available so you can eventually kill them. Some things are locked behind the season pass, but everything such as exotics are free if you level the pass up enough. If you miss the exotics they will be in the general loot pool the next season, so anyone can unlock them with some farming. All of this applies to after you complete the warlords of new york dlc, which is end game.
And yes, pc does have some crashing issues. I have experienced some crashes on console, but they are most prevalent on pc. Some can go hours without crashing, some can not. It all depends on whether ubi wants to make you suffer

[pearl owl]

crashing is absolute pain but I have figured out how to stop it at least for me

there are weird quirks which seems to make the game crash like hell

[pseudo obsidian]

how much do these seasons cost

[oblique sigil]

Just buying warlords gets you access to all the seasons

the bonus rewards track during the season is about $15 aud

[pearl owl]

such as directx 12 & stuff but I have only one crash each time I start playing then upon relaunch it won't crash for however long I keep playing

[pseudo obsidian]

all the season that have already come out so far or all that will come out

[oblique sigil]

Well you can't really replay seasons per say

You can replay the grand, final mission of previous seasons

which you unlock around lvl 40-70 on the current seasons battlepass

[low flame]

Seasons are unlocked for free with each title update if you have the warlords of new york dlc, which goes on sale frequently. I don’t know what the season pass costs, but it doesn’t have anything that can change the gameplay completely other than some caches which are rng if you even get what you want

[oblique sigil]

But as a new player jumping in now you wouldn't be missing much but not doing previous seasons as all loot is in the general pool. just can't access previous seasons comms which you can catch up easy on

https://www.youtube.com/@NGN/videos

This guy does great videos summaries on seasons

[pseudo obsidian]

ah so it unlocks all upcoming Seasons
and how long is the lifespan of this new york expansion?
how long until they release a new expansion or something is there a roadmap

[pearl owl]

uhhhhh

dont think there's any more expansions ; - ;

but seasons are still once every 3 months it seems

[pseudo obsidian]

how lon are they going to keep making new seasons?

well cool i guess if 1 expansions unlocks all upcoming seasons

[pearl owl]

oh sweet jesus

this calibration library thing is.....

something....

[low flame]

There is confirmed to be a year 5

[pseudo obsidian]

i dont need a ubisoft launcher too do i?

[low flame]

You do

Doesn’t matter if you buy it through steam or not, it is required to launch the game

[pseudo obsidian]

ughhh

[crystal copper]

Guys

[main delta]

I don’t mind 3mo long seasons, path of exile does it fine and the game is thriving

[crystal copper]

Who's excited for season 11?

[main delta]

I am for sure

[oblique sigil]

Season 11 will be dogshit

[crystal copper]

Wont know

I wish they make enchaned one like gta

[low flame]

For pc players with 10 new crashed for sure

But tu17 will fix 10 bugs and introduce 100 more

I’ll bet money on that

[main delta]

I missed out on like 8 seasons since I stopped playing the game and since content is recycled (unless 11 is new story content) I’m happy to replay the old 👍🏻

[low flame]

It’s going to be new a story

[oblique sigil]

Actually playing through the manhunts is so boring tho

It's just doing the missions again

I thought season 11 was coming with the new mode

[low flame]

That’s how looter shooters work

[main delta]

I also have an actual build now, that just needs max stats now

[oblique sigil]

but that got delayed

[low flame]

Nope, spring year 5 is bringing descent

[oblique sigil]

yipee

[main delta]

Decent?

As opposed to summit?

Nice 👍🏻

[surreal orbit]

Haters gonna hate….

[oblique sigil]

You can make extremely repetitive content and make it fun for months and years.
Summit and countdown ain't it

[main delta]

So we go down floors, not up? Or it’s like underground from div1

[oblique sigil]

Also what's the go with the Specialization rework? The chick who was running it left massive a month or two ago

Would not be surprised if it's canned

[main delta]

I just wish they had (years ago) not planned on doing what they did (initially anyway)

[quick tendon]

It's a bit daunting, but overall something to waste your time sorting things out on a daily/weekly basis. 😄

Not as bad as Battlefield, with regards to levelling up to get the pieces but still.

If you played TD1, it's not so different.

[main delta]

Division 2 really needed the destiny model for content and yet here we are

[pearl owl]

aha

[quick tendon]

Which destiny?

[main delta]

2

[pearl owl]

ahaha

the worst content/monetisation model in existence

[oblique sigil]

Atleast they get consistent content

[main delta]

That was my point

[oblique sigil]

Dont remember destiny 2 having a 16 month draught

[surreal orbit]

Yawn

[balmy cedar]

Run it with as many directives you can handle and dps it

[pearl owl]

fair enough altho it is also very much content reused over and over again from D1

[main delta]

Destiny 2 is also the closest in genre

[balmy cedar]

Rikers and cleaners in the summit is so fun

Run an LMG and you’re weakpoints galore

[oblique sigil]

It's not how i play the content it's what the content is

[balmy cedar]

I’m just saying make it fun

[quick tendon]

Firefly funtime!

[oblique sigil]

Summit is legit just going through rooms and killing gius

[balmy cedar]

Which is fun if your team ain’t shite

[oblique sigil]

Need me a horde mode or a mode with survival elements or a rouge like mechanics

[balmy cedar]

dark zone

[oblique sigil]

hahaa dark zone

[main delta]

I’d be ok with a rogue like mode

[surreal orbit]

Run a hard core character then…

[low flame]

We’re getting a rogue like mode

Descent

[balmy cedar]

Rug

[oblique sigil]

That's none of the things i just said, hardcore is just the game with no saves

And playing hardcore on PC with the crashes

that's a good idea

[surreal orbit]

Meh, then go play something else if your so dissatisfied….

[low flame]

You exit the game 2 seconds on hardcore if you crash

[balmy cedar]

Ps5 ain’t no different

[quick tendon]

With TD2, how can they do a Survival mode since it's summer unlike TD1's Winter. (hrms)

[low flame]

Not 30

[oblique sigil]

There are other kinds of storms outside of a blizzard my brother

[main delta]

You can do summer elements

Seasons exist m8

[balmy cedar]

The Walking Dead season 9 👀

[oblique sigil]

hahah

[pearl owl]

heeeeeeat stroke?

[balmy cedar]

Blizzard in Virginia

[main delta]

Yes it snows there

[balmy cedar]

Can’t even see white

[main delta]

It snows In dc too

[low flame]

Devs had already said there will be no survival in div2

[oblique sigil]

I'm just praying ascent is good

[balmy cedar]

What’s that anyways

[oblique sigil]

Please please please let it be enjoyable at least

[low flame]

It’ll be enjoyable at launch can’t say about after that though

[balmy cedar]

Is it a new game or update

[main delta]

I need one weapon, except targeted loot pistols doesn’t ever rotate to DZ

[oblique sigil]

new game mode

[low flame]

Update

[balmy cedar]

Oh

[oblique sigil]

Man... Heartland is gonna last half a year before it's dead on PC for us aussies i can tell already

[main delta]

If heartland even releases

Same with the mobile one

[low flame]

There’s gonna be pve at least

[oblique sigil]

Mobile one has pay for power though

[low flame]

And I think resurgence is gonna come out fairly soon

[main delta]

As do all mobile games, whales gonna whale

[low flame]

Heartland will take a bit more time

[balmy cedar]

Wait it’s not gonna be one of those games where you have energy right

[sterile ridge]

random ? I have not Played PS4/5 version in long time there cross platform play Between PS4 and PC so i can play with friends on PC my Pc version keeps creashing i check files and also uninstalled PC and reinstall ?

[balmy cedar]

Like doing certain actions like fast travel depletes energy

[surreal orbit]

No cross play

[sterile ridge]

Thanks

[oblique sigil]

Not like a crafting system which is a big part of the loot game in it but you can pay for crafting materials

[main delta]

Heartland not having crossplay would be a mistake

[oblique sigil]

I thought it was going to!?!?

[main delta]

It’s 2023, just do it so the games not DOA

[oblique sigil]

It's also a third person shooter which shouldn't make the gap between pc and consoles that bad

Also in todays day and age you can just plug in mice and keyboards into your consoles

[main delta]

They could do it with div 2 this late in the games life cycle. But chose not to

[oblique sigil]

It's the biggest crime not having crossplay on Div2 right now

[main delta]

Yep

[oblique sigil]

Like if they did have it, you and me could join and play together right now.. Making friends from social areas to the game

but nope

$$$$$$

[main delta]

It would make them MORE money though

[oblique sigil]

Got number crunched bro

Manpower+cost=potential profit

wasn't good enough

[main delta]

So we get a skeleton crew on one of their biggest franchises

Nice 👍🏻

[oblique sigil]

HEY!

We get an avatar and star wars game

isn't that what we want right guys....

[main delta]

😫

[low flame]

I mean we got a skeleton crew for the white house in game, why not in real life too?

Plus remember until last spring this game was on a deathbed

Now it is on life support

[oblique sigil]

We get to experience the slowest, highest budgeted maintenance mode in gaming history

We should feel so grateful

[low flame]

Ubi literally abandoned this game and brought it back from the dead

[main delta]

Imagine if they actually kept the team together and didn’t make them move to the other new IPs

Yeah, because we complained enough

And caused a ruckus

[low flame]

I heard no one complaining personally

[quick tendon]

If there was cross play, I wouldn't lose my 1900SHD console when I started playing on the PC. T.T

BUT in a way, it's good to start over again.

[oblique sigil]

How do you study and work your ass off to get into the position where you get to work on a video game just to know that all you're making is 'subpar' content at best

[low flame]

Subpar to your standards. Only standards that matter is the ones the higher ups have set

[main delta]

How do you take 3 of the best CMs and force them to make other things

[low flame]

And we don’t know what those standards are

[frozen meadow]

hi

[oblique sigil]

The higher ups don't have content standards they have financial gain standards

[low flame]

Everyone does

[grim marlin]

How u can get countdown credits ?
Ive done between 50-100 countdowns and i have 0 credits.. hmm

[low flame]

The only reason you run a business is to make profit

[frozen meadow]

have you finished all of them

not just left halfway in

[oblique sigil]

I'm starting to think Ubisoft is the problem here

[frozen meadow]

im starting to think this is normal with every single videogame ever made by a large corporation and its being blown out of proportion

either play the game or dont

[oblique sigil]

Borderlands 2 kept pushing out great content year after year and was making a profit

[low flame]

Well this game is too

[frozen meadow]

division 2 is pushing out great content year after year and is making a profit

[low flame]

To my standards

[frozen meadow]

whats the difference lol

[oblique sigil]

Shheeesh

Manhunts are good content?

[low flame]

I’d you don’t like this game, done playing it

[frozen meadow]

the only difference is your opinion

if ya hate it dont play it

[oblique sigil]

More just curious here do you think manhunts are fun?

[frozen meadow]

yes

its a build-up on lore to something greater

manhunt after manhunt i have fun because of how much knowledge i gain about the characters and i get to fantasize about whats yet to come

[pearl owl]

that's fine but gurllll doing the control points for 15 times straight is not funnn

[low flame]

Come on if I can handle whatever stuff rockstar north has twice a year for gtav I can handle div2 no matter how little content it gets. Plus, manhunts are lore. You know what I like? The lore in video games

[frozen meadow]

15 times? thats an exaggeration

[frozen meadow]

i love this games lore lol

[pearl owl]

that's the same level of cope as me manically telling people D1 is good because I read all the grimore cards

[frozen meadow]

collectibles dont add much to lore for the most part

there are exceptions however. notably being some of the comms collected during the manhunts

there was the comm from the Jupiter main mission that brought back the owl statue mystery

[oblique sigil]

It's not an exaggeration, The 'content' of a manhunt is rerunning 8 CPs and a couple smaller world activies a every 3 weeks that come with about 4 30 seconds comms, then doing a shorter version of a mission called a 'bounty'

[frozen meadow]

8 < 15

therefore its an exaggeration

[pearl owl]

I am doing it rn maam

[oblique sigil]

Over the course of a full targer you're doing about 20 cps

[frozen meadow]

false

[pearl owl]

unironically feels like 15

[low flame]

Now I agree with the 8 cps every single target. It should be done like the ones from warlords

Where you actually feel like you’re gathering information about the target’s whereabouts

[pearl owl]

this current manhunt has 11 control points ignoring the other activities

[frozen meadow]

that takes a hell lot of development

[frozen meadow]

11 < 15

[pearl owl]

x_x that is straight up copium on main

[oblique sigil]

...

[low flame]

It’s a fact, 11 is less than 15

[low flame]

Good. Make the devs suffer

[oblique sigil]

Man sees the Devs put a yellow diamond on a couple world activies he's done 200 times and licks his lips

[frozen meadow]

lol, it would either result in seasons being stupendously long with global event reruns, or just have dead zones for months of nothing going on season-wise

[pearl owl]

speaking of control points uhhhhhh

I have 3 more to suffer through

[frozen meadow]

enjoy

[pearl owl]

is anyone on pc down to carry a potato

[oblique sigil]

I'd take 2 big updates a year over 4 content reruns every day of the week and twice on sunday

[frozen meadow]

i wouldnt

you see thats where your opinion sets in. its less about the game's quality and more about your opinion on it

[low flame]

I’m a gtao player and as long as those updates are ACTUALLY LARGE I’ll take it

[oblique sigil]

Less about the games quality? my brother im asking for quality not quantity in my game

[low flame]

With replayability

[frozen meadow]

"im asking". this is your opinion

my opinion is different

[frozen meadow]

countdown. summit.

and then they are doing some underground thing i cant remember what they were gonna call it

[low flame]

Summit is reused content

You forget underground?

[frozen meadow]

no they were adding something similar to div2

i just cant remember what they were gonna call it

[low flame]

Yeah I’m saying summit is a copy of underground

[oblique sigil]

I'll give them credit for effort countdown and summit but summit is one massive swing and a miss and countdown, when you look at it, is just summit in a different location

[low flame]

Year 5 in the spring

It’s called descent

[frozen meadow]

yeah that

[frozen meadow]

thats your opinion

[oblique sigil]

I think a lot of people agree that summit is doo doo

[frozen meadow]

That's your opinion

[low flame]

Now countdown is actually fun but after 50 times farming for some grupo gloves with chc/chd but you can’t get them it is time to quit your rng is just that bad even with targeted loot grupo

[oblique sigil]

And if you took the fact that countdown is the quickest way to get good loot do you think people would play it as much

People didnt love survival for the loot gain per hour they played it because it's fun

[frozen meadow]

If you're trying to argue the game is bad then just don't play it

[surreal orbit]

☝️

[frozen meadow]

I like the game. I play it

If you don't enjoy it don't play it

[pearl owl]

you know you can like something and want it to be improved at the same time x_x

[oblique sigil]

You think anyone who comes here to talk about the game hates it? We all love it i just know it could be so so so much better

[oblique sigil]

this

[kind pulsar]

Hello

[frozen meadow]

I don't think saying implementations were junk is a good way to say "i love the game"

[low flame]

It doesn’t meet your expectations

[pearl owl]

coping with "love it or leave it" doesn't really help anyone

[surreal orbit]

But they are not going to fix it… so continuing to complain about it is the definition of insanity…

[frozen meadow]

Insanity is defined simply as "repeating an action with expectations of a different outcome"

[frozen meadow]

Neither does complaining about the game here soo

[oblique sigil]

How many people have to dislike something to turn a "your expections" into the "communitys expectations"
Summit blows, 8/10 players would agree on that
Countdown while better, is on a gameplay sense, just summit but at a plant and it's 15 minutes

[surreal orbit]

Repeat complaining with expectations they will fix it… sound close to me.

[frozen meadow]

8/10 players would agree on that

Source?

[low flame]

“Summit but at a plant” yeah I don’t agree with that

It is NOTHING like summit

[kind pulsar]

"Insanity, is doing the same fucking thing, over and over again. Expecting shit to change."

Countermeasures

Timer too

Not being forced to do vip

Sorry had to say that xD

[low flame]

8 man group

[frozen meadow]

I love countdown

[oblique sigil]

Are countermeasures really something? After 2 minutes they're gone

[frozen meadow]

?

[low flame]

Summit is basically an extremely simplified version of a raid

[frozen meadow]

2 minutes? What

[low flame]

Countermeasures after two minutes are gone? Yes the debuffs, but not the buffs they provide one deactivated

[oblique sigil]

After the first two minutes of a countdown. the countermeasures are gone because you've turned them off

[frozen meadow]

Countermeasures give you buffs when you deactivate them

That last until extraction

Lol

[oblique sigil]

Yes we know that but is that something epic that countdown delievers

[frozen meadow]

Yes

Because it's new and specific to countdowns

[low flame]

Like imagine having close range damage buff… you’ll be hitting millions even with a trash build

Can’t do that anywhere in summit

[frozen meadow]

Close range damage buff is cool af

[kind pulsar]

ACS-12 feels

Mmmm, funny fast pewpew

[frozen meadow]

Nyoom

[kind pulsar]

Step 1. Go to the enemy
Step 2. Greet
Step 3. ???
Step 4. Success!

[frozen meadow]

So yeah, I like this game and I think the devs are doing an amazing job

Ecstatic for next season

[low flame]

Can’t wait to kill whoever stovepipe is if we even kill them this time

[azure lintel]

Why is rogue mechanic so fucking garbage in this game? When you literally turn rogue and kill someone they have to have a chance to retort. Most of the time when I come back to deal with them either I have to go rogue now or just leave.

[lean wasp]

Just go play Iron Horse raid instead of doing "repetetive" content over and over,and you won't get bored by summit or countdown

Ofc if you play same s* over and over you will get bored af

[low flame]

Iron horse requires a pre made 8 man team and is harder so most division people with small brains can’t handle it

[frozen meadow]

Just don't go rogue

[low flame]

Plus all content can get repetitive after a while

[azure lintel]

It's not about me. When others turn rogue and cowardly shoot me while I am putting my shit on heli and I come back miraculously they are not rogue anymore and I always try my best to get there asap

[frozen meadow]

Just don't die next time

[balmy cedar]

Iron horse with randoms is fun

[frozen meadow]

Can agree lol

One time got stuck on DH 3rd boss for 3-4 hours with randoms

[lean wasp]

we were doing it yesterday,we had 2 vets and 6 new players - 2,5 hours and was a blast

[frozen meadow]

Randoms are the nicest people it's so amazing lol

I love raids

[frozen meadow]

Don't trust anyone

[balmy cedar]

The Morozova part makes me want to sleep tho the guys doing rockets have the most fun… never got confirmation but what’s the deal with having to take out the iron horse train first then Morozova …

Is her armor linked to the train

[frozen meadow]

No

If you take out morozova first the train can't get destroyed

Which was your whole goal

Make the train inoperable

[lament mirage]

Same kinda

Some new toys

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[lean wasp]

she is also immune from time to time

[frozen meadow]

She's immune when you do 3 bars of damage and she's on her way into the hideout before the wipe mechanic

[fickle hemlock]

Anyone know what I need to do to unlock dark zone west? It says complete dark zone south recon mission, however there is no mission or alert when I travel there

[lament mirage]

Also PvP changes

[frozen meadow]

Not for me, I'm just a sniper

Lol

[lament mirage]

Minus the increased use for skill builds 😔

[thorn wharf]

Amazing job? I'm sorry, but I find this to be offensive. I'm not going to brag about crashes - those have been part of the original Div1 and I not hoping for this to be fixed anymore. But releasing unfinished animations and models to prod (and not fixing those even now)? Items that prevent user from accessing certain features (like changing visual model of HB knee pads)? Duplicate crafting recipes (SIX shotgun, which was supposed to be ACS-12)? How is this even approved for prod integration? I mean they're new team and whatever, but issues above are reasons that should have blocked the updates from releasing to prod, this is not an Indie game.

[lament mirage]

New season gonna be toxic for PvP

[tender wave]

It's bugged atm, you might be able to fix it by joining someone who's already in there, but I'm not certain about that.

[frozen meadow]

I very very rarely crash in this game; I'm not sure what you're referring to by unfinished models

[lament mirage]

Same rarely crash as well

[fickle hemlock]

@tender wave tried that also

[frozen meadow]

As for the rest, it's a large ass game, there's gonna be bugs

They have bigger concerns than kneepad cosmetics

[lament mirage]

N it’s a Ubisoft game

[frozen meadow]

That has nothing to do w/ it

[lament mirage]

So it’s expected

[lament mirage]

Kinda does most of their game’s release in the last few decades have been buggy

I like em tho

[frozen meadow]

They've also been quite large

[lament mirage]

Si

Gta series n red dead pretty large as well but less buggy

[lean wasp]

they are dead both

[thorn wharf]

First of all, this is not an excuse and not acceptable.
And secondly - this game has been released years ago - enough time to polish and enough time to release finished and polished content.

[balmy cedar]

Use it against black tusk 👀

[frozen meadow]

No it's not lol. If people wanted a less buggy game then they'd complain about no feature additions. If there were feature additions they would complain about bugs. If it was half and half then you'd get half and half

Beggars can't be choosers but they can sure as hell try

[lean wasp]

Gta 5 for instance is unplayable on PC

[hybrid ore]

I got through it fine.

We all getting along today?

[lean wasp]

definitive series are buggy as hell

[pseudo obsidian]

never had crashes playing gta5

[frozen meadow]

I'm just tryna understand why people come here claiming the game sucks and then do nothing else

[lament mirage]

Same I get a smooth 60

[hybrid ore]

Everyone needs a hobby.

[pseudo obsidian]

gta 5s steam page isnt full of people going "this game crashes every 20 minutes"

[balmy cedar]

What about cyberpunk

[lament mirage]

@hybrid ore hiya how u been

[thorn wharf]

I'd agree if we were talking about indie startup studio, where 3d artist have to do coding, not Ubisoft.

[lean wasp]

never played it

[frozen meadow]

thats exactly whats going on right now though. people complain about nothing being added and when stuff is added they complain about the bugs that are produced from the new content.

[cloud sage]

There's people with different opinions on the internet -.-

[hybrid ore]

Alright. Got back into pd2 recently and that's been fun.
Looking forward to the new season of div2.

[lament mirage]

Ah cool

[hybrid ore]

Let's get back to the div2 stuff.

[lament mirage]

Good game

[north cloak]

If the cosmetics bugs are so bad that you can't play, don't. The crashes are very hard to work on afaik

How could one get so mad at someone being excited for an update

[polar warren]

When your joy has been robbed from you, you get mad at other people for being happy. Feel bad for those people and move on ! I love the game. Just got the last piece of the Grizzly Set from a Apparel cache last night. Feel girthy!

[plain trail]

The bugs just arent something they care about lol

If you could pick between a giantass bug fix patch but no new items/features vs a patch with ninjabike backpack, new brand set and new exotics but no bugfixes

99% of people would rather have the new shit

[frozen meadow]

I want da backypacky

[plain trail]

Same I managed to mostly fix my crashes so idc about them anymore lol

[balmy cedar]

Isn’t this what happened to Keener

And Emeline

[keen vault]

anyone able to help me level my shd watch? its taking forever and idk what to do XD
Message

[azure lintel]

Wow, can't find a decent Countdown game to save my life rn

[balmy cedar]

Turn on directives - no regen, fog of war, special ammo, and cool skills are east to work with

Farm resource convoys or just play anything with those on

You’ll level up at least 2 times for each mission

Convoys 1 level and elite stuff like elite patrol and elite territory control are fairly easy

[zenith light]

I just went through and did every single open world event personally. Cleared each section of DC, captured all control points, rinse repeat.

[quick tendon]

Lots of Heroics and Legendary missions (great when doing random)
Lots of Summit climbing (with directives especially)

It's what I did on my console character (1900SHD) and currently working on my PC on leveling the SHD.

Although I've yet to do the new Legendaries on the PC (weren't there on the console at the time) but will do so as well.

Set your world directives on as well, if you haven't. Bump it up from Normal to Hard/Challenge if need be. Heroic if you're crazy enough.

[lean wasp]

I got Eagle Bearer just know from the box ❤️

Thanks game

[serene jay]

Why does my every weapon say "item level is too low for research." when I try to optimize them?

[plush otter]

optimisation is only for lvl 40 high end gear, any item below that lvl or grade cant be optimised

[serene jay]

Ahh okay ty

[dreamy cipher]

what chem launcher works as disorient in pvp?

[small spear]

none of them, only ensnare (foam) and burn (firestarter)

[plush otter]

more likely you were using a shield, and when your shield breaks, you get a disorient effect on you for 3 seconds

[robust rover]

hey does anyone know if you can still get the catharis mask? ive been grinding countdown and exotic caches for it but ive only gotten 3 vile masks and one coyote mask

[tender notch]

yes its just a normal exotic so farm target loot (still RNG though)

[robust rover]

but its still available considering it was a last season item?

[small spear]

every end of season they add season exotics into general loot pool

[hard ridge]

Is there a way to play summit on your own without messing up the progress for your friends and you ? Because we did 61 floors together, but now if I do it... I'll mess it up right ?

[robust rover]

i guess im just very unlucky then

i got like 3 vile masks in a row

[tender notch]

this ^^

[small spear]

you can make more progress on your own, but if you want to go back down on 61, assuming your friend also doesn't make progress on their own, you can have them be the leader and interact with the elevator, and you will be on 61 again

[hard ridge]

ahhhh... so it's HOST based ?

[small spear]

yes

[robust rover]

guess i gotta keep midlessley grinding countdown

[small spear]

countdown exotic drop rate isn't the highest btw

[robust rover]

anderson?

[tender notch]

meanwhile someone is farming for Vile mask and got 3 Carth in a row 🤣

[robust rover]

bruhhh

[small spear]

not anderson, i think it just acts like a heroic mission

(if on heroic) i mean a normal mission

[robust rover]

whats the highest exotic drop mission then

[tender notch]

eh well countdown and summit are both the highest drop chance for specific exotics.

[small spear]

oh was it? i looked at the drop rate table somewhere

[tender notch]

lincoln but for specific exotic farming, Countdown and summit are better because of the mass loot (and chances) you get.

if you dont care what exotic you get then the anderson mission is great as you guarantee 1 random exotic. but for specific farming countdown/ summit are best.

[robust rover]

damn

all ive been playing is countdown

[tender notch]

thats best for specific exotic.

[tender notch]

that drop table is only BASE drop chance (doesnt count target loot, boss drop, hunters, faction boss etc....)

[robust rover]

i literally have almost every exotic except for catharis lmao

[tender notch]

then to countdown/ summit you go 🤣

[rapid warren]

does anyone know why I can't access the pentagon?

[robust rover]

sigh

[small spear]

gotcha, i was thinking of that but didn't factor in how many mobs there are in countdown as well as hunters being there

[rapid warren]

I came back for the first time a couple days ago before that I havent played since release. lol

So much new stuff

[tender notch]

its been a known issue, no idea how to fix, but restarting game has help some. also has randomly fixed it self for some too lol

[cloud sage]

After seeing multiple people run into that Pentagon issue I've stayed clear of doing it. Too afraid it'll bug out for me too. How long has that bug been around approximately?

[tender notch]

since last patch?

[cloud sage]

Alright, I hope it gets sorted out for the next then 📿

Ops, I meant to do a 🙏 😄

I think I've reached a point in my game where I need to start fiddlling with alternative builds to stay motivated. I don't know what other goals to set for myself.

[azure lintel]

REEEEEE HALP

[rapid warren]

I have been mainly a Destiny guy but I love the gameplay in yhis. I have no idea what I'm doing otherwise, collecting

[azure lintel]

Also hi azurmen

[tender notch]

👋

[pulsar cosmos]

I used to play a quaint game called Defiance.

And there's no other game like it, other than The Division.

[drifting ore]

ive had 3 crashes in a row, after several days of crash free. god i hate that they just ignore the crashing issues

had to vent

[pulsar cosmos]

Likewise

Some days the game can run 8 hours straight without a crash

[mortal iron]

worth buying this game? whilst its on sale?

[pulsar cosmos]

And at times it crashes within 10 - 15 minutes.

[pulsar cosmos]

Sure. Just keep an eye on your playtime so you can decide to refund it under 2 hours.

[smoky meteor]

And now back to grinding CPs to finish off my blueprints.

[smoky meteor]

Game please... Give me a Ceska chest that isn't double Skills on the Attributes.

[grave ermine]

is there like a spread sheet for god rolls of every item in the game?

a example would be like. assault rifles - dmg out of cover

[surreal orbit]

Gotta love it when you get what you were farming on your first run of a targeted loot mission… 😎

[grave ermine]

obv theres a different god roll for different builds. just a general guideline

[cunning grotto]

Hey all does the division 2 have crossplay between ps4 and pc?

[grim charm]

Unfortunately no

[cunning grotto]

Damn such a missed chance

[drifting ore]

that pvp would have been fun

for the pc users

[balmy cedar]

This is legit a thing?

That sounds awesome

[smoky meteor]

Yeah, Steam lets you refund any game purchase as long as you have less than two hours played.

[balmy cedar]

are you talking about what people have found or what should be the rolls?

[balmy cedar]

That’s really cool

[grave ermine]

what should be the rools

rolls

[merry zinc]

pc vs console actually wouldnt be very bad at all

[pulsar cosmos]

In general, under two hours, no MTX purchased (not including DLC like Deluxe Editions) and under two weeks of ownership.

You can still appeal if its over two hours, it just gets looked at by a human rather than automatically approved by the bot.

Especially for games with long intros.

[balmy cedar]

Lmg I find to be personal preference depending on what you need it for but

Damage to armor - lmg
Damage to target out of cover - rifle, shotgun, marksman rifle, assault rifle and smg

[pulsar cosmos]

Like Dying light 2 was barely over 2 hours when I put in my refund request because of the long intro.

[balmy cedar]

As for the rolls that they come with

Lmg - damage to target out of cover, lmg damage

Ar - ar damage, health damage

Shotgun - shotgun damage, damage to armor

Rifle - critical hit damage, rifle damage

Marksman rifle - mmr damage, headshot damage

Smg - smg damage, crit hit chance

Pistol Idek

[balmy cedar]

That game had caught my eye, did you not enjoy it?

[pulsar cosmos]

It gave up a lot of the freedoms you had from the first game.
