[dreamy cipher]

can carthasis drop from exotic cache??

[frozen meadow]

I'm still pissed tf off they nerfed it

[brazen mountain]

Anywhere

[frozen meadow]

Yes

[brazen mountain]

It's a loot pool exotic

[azure lintel]

Best activity to do?

[frozen meadow]

Heroic Anderson was so fun until they nerfed it

[quasi saffron]

dark zone how to not get wiped by other player in spawn

[frozen meadow]

Don't keep spawning in the same door

[quasi saffron]

?

[brazen mountain]

Just keep farming exotic crates

[quasi saffron]

even dont spawn their weapon bruh

[frozen meadow]

?

[azure lintel]

The countdown ones?

[quasi saffron]

in short attack from behind

[brazen mountain]

I can't recommend any mission right now but yes

[frozen meadow]

Yeah

I'd do countdown on masks

Then use all creds to get caches

[brazen mountain]

Alternatively you can try areas with masks as targeted loot

[frozen meadow]

Countdown.. lol

[brazen mountain]

I guess...

But yea goodluck

[frozen meadow]

Either CD or summit

[azure lintel]

Nein

[frozen meadow]

?

[azure lintel]

In no way is it good. Its like sub par anime dub at best

Luckily I don't play for its story and just the grind. Same with Destiny 2 tbh, except better voice actors

[elfin hazel]

invaded or non invaded zoo

[azure lintel]

Non invaded

[frozen meadow]

I like the voice acting

I think it's really good

If you want bad voice acting, play Metroid: Other M

[elfin hazel]

dialogue is good in non invaded and not great to say the least in invaded

[azure lintel]

What? The main chick you are pursuing is pure cringe. Like I'm suppose to see this person as a threat and not a clown?

It's like borderlands psychos but you ordered it off of wish

[tender wave]

theoretically, once you complete the Pentagon (on story difficulty), follow the 'exit mission' prompts through a side door and down an elevator, that should lead you to the start of the Darpa mission. I wouldn't be suprised if that bugged for you too though, probably have to run Pentagon at level 30 story difficulty like we did for Pentagon Breach.

[frozen meadow]

No the whole point is to show them how stupid they are

[brazen mountain]

In all my days in div 2 I never thought the voice acting was bad...

[tender wave]

some of it is stand-out atrocious, other stuff is fine

[brazen mountain]

But when something dumb happens it's just funny to me

[azure lintel]

If that was the point then why try make me feel something about her daughter at the end of the mission?

[frozen meadow]

Oh wait I mistook for the invaded one

Did you not consider Conley cringe? Lol

[azure lintel]

Not did the invaded one yet

[quick tendon]

Ahhhh okay, will try that out, later this week.

And Bardon, did a backup call for him last night. I never did that mission on the console. Must be the season I missed. :/

[azure lintel]

Who

[tender wave]

one of this season's manhunt minor targets (I think Lucky?) had pretty terrible voice acting I thought

[frozen meadow]

Have you done the dlc

[azure lintel]

I didn't find any of the voice acting memorable. Some was okay and some was dreadful.

Last time I played the story and dlc was at their launches so can't say

[frozen meadow]

I did find some memorable

ITS A CISTERN

[azure lintel]

Don't even know what the story was about. Remember more from Div1 story tbh

But tbf I put a lot of hours into the dz on that

[quick tendon]

That ... sounds familiar. I thought that was in DC rather than NYC?

[frozen meadow]

It doesn't matter

It's a voice line from this game

[azure lintel]

No clue. When did you last do story or dlc?

Anyone wanna run 2 pentagon missions with me really quick? Story then hard

[frozen meadow]

probably a month ago

[wintry ocean]

Is thier certain standards or gear to have to do the eagle bearer raid

[azure lintel]

Well there you go. Only a month aint too hard to remember. Last time I played was whenever launch was which I think was like 3+ years ago

[frozen meadow]

the standard is 120chd 50chc iirc

[azure lintel]

I dunno. Only siege game I played religiously was siege but popped back on this for the grind

[wintry ocean]

Iirc?

[frozen meadow]

if i recall correctly

[wintry ocean]

Kk

No protection from elites?

[azure lintel]

The harder the countdown difficulty do you get more of the tokens?

[tender wave]

50/150 is the general request for full-red builds in Dark Hours

[frozen meadow]

150? i usually see 120 for new players

[tender wave]

no, if the team is doing their jobs then there's not much incoming damage to worry about, glass cannon is actually a good choice.

[frozen meadow]

eesh gc

would not suggest for a new player

[tender wave]

I always see 150 (eg here #td2-raid-discussions message)

[wintry ocean]

What about specialist?

[frozen meadow]

i always see 120 lol. we can agree to disagree

[tender wave]

spec should probably be either demo or survivalist for the final boss (useful for faster razorback opening), prior to that it doesn't really matter

[wintry ocean]

Do they demand shd lvls?

[frozen meadow]

demo i suggest

no

not for the most part

for new players that is

[wintry ocean]

Is aces and eights still a build to run in the raid?

[frozen meadow]

no

not even slightly

[wintry ocean]

That's when I used to do raids lol aces and eight and damage to elites

[frozen meadow]

dte doesnt exist anymore and a&e was nerfed

and merciless isnt op af xD

oh and the drones do significantly more damage so you need a dedicated role to take care of that

[wintry ocean]

Gotcha what's the build to deal with drones emt Grenades?

[frozen meadow]

you dont need to worry about that, but its traditionally 4 piece hw with a jammer pulse

[wintry ocean]

OK

[tender wave]

there's a raid guide here (also linked in the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice ) https://docs.google.com/document/d/10foKYUCF7MZB10DzgrO4W6TzU-EoITWKaryJEyANo-s/edit

[wintry ocean]

Got a few buddies who want EVlB

[frozen meadow]

what is EVlB

[wintry ocean]

EB

[frozen meadow]

oh xD

i suggest you all get comfortable with the raid separately instead of like 4 new people going into one together

[tender wave]

give it a week and you can potentially farm it from DZ, although I suspect doing the raid will be a less time-consuming and stressful experience

[wintry ocean]

So just critical chance crit damage ?

[frozen meadow]

for the most part

[frozen meadow]

if they keep the same drop chance as in the raid, itll be astronomically low, being around 0.03%

[wintry ocean]

Yah for sure

Dz will he hell

How long is the raid still a few hours ?

[frozen meadow]

a typical run is sub-1h

[tender wave]

nah, DH is well under an hour (depending on how experienced the team is - a strong one can probably run under half an hour these days)

[frozen meadow]

yeah i said sub-1h for typical groups

with new players in it

[wintry ocean]

Used to be like 4 on a good run

[frozen meadow]

wtf no it wasnt

i got 10m on a random group in here before wony

and we got keys too

[wintry ocean]

No shit eh

Yah raids I was doing were from 2 years ago

[frozen meadow]

i am talking 2 years ago

[vapid crypt]

with random groups, the first area is 4 hours alone

[frozen meadow]

lol

there were two people that one-shotted every boss

[slow smelt]

New Season HYPE!

Any guesses as to what the titular “reign of fire” is? Although it’s probably a metaphor

[frozen meadow]

inb4 ih manhunt mission

[tender wave]

nah, Castle settlement manhunt location I think

[wintry ocean]

Do skill builds work in the raid or is their hunters to hack them?

[tender wave]

(there was a pic of the Castle in the last roadmap thing, and in the PTS you couldn't fast travel to Castle any more)

[tender wave]

they work, there are no hunters, but they're not ideal, there's a good reason everyone recommends full red crit builds for almost every role.

[wintry ocean]

OK.thanks again

[azure lintel]

Yea I tried skill and they're trash compared to red crit builds

[elfin hazel]

they really arent

[austere thunder]

God I wish they would release an expansion or at least make new parts of the map explorable like the chapters etc. I get COVID effed em up but things should be on track and they need to release new content like hire a creative person to write up some new content -_- hell I'll do it

[austere thunder]

Your to use to red dps build which is why you say that. My skill build cleas up heroic missions and cps solo and its always done that.

skill builds in short are sit back and let skills do the work

[elfin hazel]

ideas arent the problem everyone is an idea person its that its not really worth the effort to do it again

[austere thunder]

then there is no reason to make seasons

[azure lintel]

I tried twice different skill builds and hunters fury already better + scorpio

[elfin hazel]

seasons are easier & faster to make than a whole new dlc or new area of the map

[austere thunder]

skill builds in short are sit back and let skills do the work. If you want combat then skill build wont vibe well with you.

[azure lintel]

But if you get jammed you're useless

[austere thunder]

@azure lintel yep

[austere thunder]

there so repeatable and cheap its not even worth it.

[azure lintel]

How is there ppl 2K+ rank dying on challenging Countdown

[fiery cloud]

Team is crap

[azure lintel]

If someone dies I just leave

[austere thunder]

Builds must be bad.

[azure lintel]

Like how. Its not even hard. Doesn't help that after 4 runs I know what to do but have people 10x my rank following me

[austere thunder]

shd lvl dont mean $@#%

[azure lintel]

I see now xD

[austere thunder]

Last chick who tried to pull that card with kept getting clapped every raid to basic stuff.

[frozen meadow]

i do heroic countdown

[azure lintel]

I'd do heroic but it's a struggle to keep group together

[austere thunder]

As for skill builds they are more for background play and dishing big damage giving others cover. Legendary is where you see them at mostly.

[azure lintel]

But challenging is instant

[austere thunder]

says alot

[frozen meadow]

that might be a console-specific thing, because after the hundreds ive done on pc i rarely have that be a problem

[austere thunder]

Naw its one of those time of day things

[azure lintel]

I like skill builds just hunter fury build with Scorpio works anywhere

[frozen meadow]

ive played various days, during school hours and not

still not a problem lol

[azure lintel]

Same on challenging at least

[austere thunder]

its good but a good armor regen with dmg does better. I'll run into a group of legendary adds and start cappin.

[vapid breach]

It makes sense that it’s a PlayStation issue. We’ve had a lot of sales recently and a lot more new players. So, heroic CD is overrun by new/inexperienced players lately.

[austere thunder]

Good point

[azure lintel]

As long as mo disruption I don't mind running skill. Especially if ordered food

[frozen meadow]

also no offense, but console is targeted more towards teens than PC is

[austere thunder]

yoooo facts. comes in clutch when the bathroom calls

[vapid breach]

Tbh, most of the non-casuals have moved over to challenging because I think we/they all know we can carry a challenging CD which leads to basically a heroic CD level lobby in challenging

[azure lintel]

That's a lot for me since lactose intolerant but still consume dairy lmao

[austere thunder]

console is targeted towards people on a budget. I got both and my PC cost me more then a console. What ever you perfer

[vapid breach]

Eh, this I disagree with. The PlayStation community of TD2 PVE is absolutely older. I’ve almost always been the youngest at 27

[austere thunder]

yuuup

[frozen meadow]

i was referencing console as a whole

[azure lintel]

I have a good pc and series x but I dont feel as comfortable playing on them as I do on PS.

Probably because I grew up on PS

[frozen meadow]

also its just way more well-known that console is less competitive than pc

[austere thunder]

PS runs more players of Div then PC. Your more likely to find active ppl there then on other consoles. Should just add crossplay

[frozen meadow]

source?

[azure lintel]

That and all my homies on PS

[austere thunder]

thats true but not everyone got 1k to drop on a PC thx to bills, inflation and other crap going on in the world

[frozen meadow]

I'm not tryna fight PC vs console with anyone, I'm just trying to justifiably explain the difference in playerbase

[azure lintel]

waves in 30

[low lily]

Yeah

[austere thunder]

its not an argument because it boils down more to accessibility. The discords I see more ppl are registered as PS then the others.

[frozen meadow]

Console and PC both have their places. But comparing the two is not possible

[vapid breach]

Point made 😂 I make it a point to call folks old

[frozen meadow]

Probably because your a ps user rex

-3-

[azure lintel]

Woah now. We don't use the O word around these parts

[frozen meadow]

Because all the servers I'm in have 99% PC players

[frozen meadow]

Is boomer a better term xD

[azure lintel]

Jesus I'm not 60

[austere thunder]

lol

[vapid breach]

Had some guys in a raid making jokes about college in the early 90s and I was like dang I wasn’t even born yet

[frozen meadow]

xD

I've been playing this game since it released. I'm 18 years old

[low lily]

Kid

[vapid breach]

Child

[austere thunder]

I see different but im prob in different servers then you. In this discord their are 6k registered PS players compared to the other consoles

[frozen meadow]

Yeah that's what I'm saying

But unless you have actual sales statistics then it's all hearsay

[azure lintel]

How old is this? I remember getting the outfit at launch for inviting ppl to division game

But apparently they added outfit to store

[frozen meadow]

This game came out in '18

[vapid breach]

And champion was still in diapers 😂

[low lily]

🤣

[azure lintel]

Ehh, not that bad then. Thought it was earlier tbh

[frozen meadow]

What

[austere thunder]

Ask yourself and your 18 which is where this can be different.
The general population how many have to pay bills and actually have money to drop on a PC rig? Not manuy. A standered PC cost around 1k at least and just goes up where a console is at most 600 at market vaule @frozen meadow

[elfin hazel]

2019 I think the beta or somethin was in 18

[frozen meadow]

im not arguing console vs pc with you

[austere thunder]

true

[molten spire]

this was alongside the last apparel event, which was in December I believe

The watch charm is still exclusive to inviting people

[frozen meadow]

my bad

[austere thunder]

no ones arguing.

you like PC great u like PS great simple.

[low lily]

Getting a proper pc with 1k is pretty good deal to be fair, i just bought a pc again for 1 game and it got delayed again

[austere thunder]

a nice year

rent in most places is 1k a month

[frozen meadow]

1k what, usd? cad? aud? eur? gbp?

[austere thunder]

USD

[frozen meadow]

asking nunnu

[austere thunder]

be like that then.

[azure lintel]

I bought xbox purely to watch shows with friend on xbox lol. Use my PC for WoW but not played in like 3 years

I just hope if they release a third, crossplay is a definite

[low lily]

Yeah i don't use a pc at all but sometimes if there is a game i want to play i buy pc for that and when i don't wanna play ot anymore i sell it

[austere thunder]

Ppl get triggered to easily

[frozen meadow]

they wont release crossplay

[vapid breach]

I’m PlayStation born and bred so 💁🏽‍♂️

[elfin hazel]

????????????

[low lily]

Because pc prices drop insane amount every year

[austere thunder]

same. I play Halo on PC though

[frozen meadow]

whos triggered here

[azure lintel]

For a 3rd? Why not. They did with Siege

[austere thunder]

Took em years though

[azure lintel]

Not saying current game

[frozen meadow]

ive only been triggered once in the past like two years

[austere thunder]

just to be clear I wasnt trying to start a pc v console I was just talking numbers I've noticed. So apologies if I came off like that

[frozen meadow]

it did start to devolve into that so i wanted to stop it before it happened

[vapid breach]

I was asking a few people I shepherded who clearly weren’t new players how they found the transition from other platforms.

The most common answer was that PlayStation has a hot mic problem 😂😂

[azure lintel]

PS master race. Don't @ me

[frozen meadow]

theres a lot of outside influence that can fall into console vs pc

[austere thunder]

Point taken wasnt trying to go that route. As for PC I was gonna try it on PC to help my friend who will start that argument with ppl

[low lily]

Ohhhhhhh, i hate those guys sooo much

[frozen meadow]

i hate PCMR people -3-

[low lily]

People who forget to mute their controller mic

[frozen meadow]

any gatekeeping is unexcusable

[azure lintel]

Hahaha

[molten spire]

random games that default to hot miccing people are always a pain

[austere thunder]

and playing crappy music on it

[tender dome]

Didn’t they say there was a new game mode coming?

[austere thunder]

yes

[frozen meadow]

pc players when the banjo music kicks in through your teammates mic:

[low lily]

There is yeah

[molten spire]

gatekeep games that hot mic people by default, there, I think we can agree that

[azure lintel]

Yea I hate those ppl who got their ps5 controller mic on 24/7

[frozen meadow]

descent i think its called?

[tender dome]

Yes that’s it

[vapid breach]

Well the major problem is the ps5 controller. Idiotic idea. All these people who were already horrible with regular mics now all have one in their hands that they don’t notice

[low lily]

Pretty sure that was tested like 2 weeks ago

[frozen meadow]

thats a whiles away

[austere thunder]

sounds like an underground but hope it has more meat to it because game is lacking majorily after their hiatus

[azure lintel]

Except the souls community

[elfin hazel]

it wasnt tested its to come sometime in spring

[tender dome]

I haven’t seen no gameplay on it from the pts

[frozen meadow]

the best console is the nintendo switch change my mind

[austere thunder]

not release yet

[low lily]

You where part of private playtest?

[elfin hazel]

nop

[austere thunder]

lol no argument trying to decide if I want FE Engage

[azure lintel]

Best console is the Nokia 3310

[frozen meadow]

you wouldnt know if anyone was part of it since its under NDA

[austere thunder]

yeah drop that shiii off a building and it still works

[low lily]

Email isn't part of NDA

[frozen meadow]

the switch has amazing exclusives and thats the only reason its still relevant

[restive whale]

Hey guy REALLLLLY burned out on Destiny2.

How much life do yall think Div2 has left in it.

[elfin hazel]

it is

few years

[austere thunder]

Nintendo always got good stuff and upcoming like Tears of the Kingdom

[azure lintel]

Don't know why they didn't build nuclear bunkers out of them

[frozen meadow]

no more than 2 years

[molten spire]

^if we're erring on the conservative side yeah

[restive whale]

would u say worth a buy in 2023?

[frozen meadow]

yes its a good game

[molten spire]

get it on sale

[austere thunder]

im in a meeting so this chat is helping me

[frozen meadow]

also dont expect a non-bias opinion on a server where everyone plays said game

[molten spire]

get it on sale with the expansion, hilariously great value

[azure lintel]

Me a week ago

[restive whale]

Btw im more of a PvE player, not a fan of PvP

[frozen meadow]

even better

[austere thunder]

in div?

[molten spire]

yeah the vast majority of content is PvE/coop

[frozen meadow]

div2 is more pve-oriented than div1, which was pvp-oriented

[azure lintel]

Even the pvp has pve elements

[low lily]

Dz pvp is fun tho, i like it

[restive whale]

Have you jumped over to Div2?

[austere thunder]

same. I do have pvp build but I cant get behind pvp here

[frozen meadow]

every once in a while ill jump into dz and one-shot someone and decon their loot then run away. i only do that if im in a bad mood

[azure lintel]

I played ages ago but came back. Defford worth if you can grab on sale

[brazen mountain]

I love getting shredded by someone with a good gaming chair

[frozen meadow]

sorry that was me D:

[restive whale]

can i DM you? have some destiny/ Div related questions

[austere thunder]

I need me a comfy chair

[azure lintel]

Can do

[low lily]

😂

[frozen meadow]

me with a $40 ikea chair

[austere thunder]

my back be hurting in crap chairs

like my current

use to have a living rm chair that was so comfy

[vapid breach]

Next level is gaming chair with a standing desk

[austere thunder]

standing desk great but my last gaming chair and first just told me overrated and didnt work

did I get wronmg brand?

[azure lintel]

On a serious note. Can we please remove player collision or bullets being blocked..

Every game there's someone dragging me around the map if I use shield or walking in front of me when engaging an enemy 🙂

[brazen mountain]

Went from pve/pvp talk to GOOD GAMING CHAIRS

[austere thunder]

gotta be comfy

[azure lintel]

Gaming chairs are a scam

[vapid breach]

Probably. I had to buy a specific one for my height. There’s some good review sites. Check one out

[azure lintel]

Just look up office chairs

[restive whale]

these are NOT the chairs your looking for?

Does Div2 have a Chair problem though

[austere thunder]

no joke if a chair dont make my back feel comfy no beuno. The toliet feels better then waht my last gaming chair was

[azure lintel]

Nopes

[brazen mountain]

it does

God gaming chair = pay to win

[vapid breach]

Now that I’ve accomplished almost everything I wanted from the game.

I’m longing for a rush game mode with like waves of enemies sprinting at you. Ugh would be so much fun

[restive whale]

Maybe for PvP?

[azure lintel]

I spend about £200 - 300 on an office chair and usually does the trick and has the lumbar support

[molten spire]

every now and then there's some guy oneshotting people across the DZ with a 3 yellow 3 blue build, but otherwise it's fairly rare

[brazen mountain]

It's simple meth

math

[austere thunder]

yeah my current office chair is one and I want something else asap.

[azure lintel]

Now that's something I know a thing or two about

[austere thunder]

I will buy a mini couch

[frozen meadow]

i wonder if i could design a levitating chair

[brazen mountain]

ayo tech me

[brazen mountain]

literally a god gaming chair

[frozen meadow]

theres nobody stopping me

[frozen meadow]

no i do 6r pgc

[azure lintel]

Go to bar, spent £10 on a bag, have a good night and then take a girl home and have massive regrets because your snail don't want to come out of he shell

[low lily]

Wut

[molten spire]

with some rare earth magnets you probably could, the issue is making sure that failures don't literally launch the chair into something expensive or otherwise important

[azure lintel]

Need some powerful magnets

[frozen meadow]

i have a new project lined up

[brazen mountain]

That sounds like something that happened to you...

[azure lintel]

Indeed

[brazen mountain]

Someone give this person hug

[azure lintel]

Oh its fine. I ended up repeating that process a few times lol

[brazen mountain]

sadness

[azure lintel]

At least I got stories to tell, I guess

[brazen mountain]

ANYWAYS whats your take on white tusk?

[azure lintel]

When the majority of them are alcohol related and you realise you have a problem

[azure lintel]

What dis

[brazen mountain]

Better black tusk

They are only in legendary missions

[gilded perch]

good chair = ergonomic = play longer = play good

[azure lintel]

Oh, I haven't done much legendary missions

[viscid cargo]

LMB good

[restive whale]

How noob friendly is the game, ive heard of sponges

lots of spunges

[azure lintel]

Sponges ain't too bad

[viscid cargo]

Its fine

[brazen mountain]

= die = sadness = certain thoughts

[azure lintel]

At least not as bad as D1

[brazen mountain]

DON'T PLAY DZ

[azure lintel]

Get a recliner and add sleep to that

[vapid breach]

Wowwww I’m genuinely surprised you feel that way about D1

[restive whale]

Well the D2 new light experience is non existent xD

[vapid breach]

I played D2 at launch so it was a little different but my main issue was the bullet sponges and I quit and didn’t return until last March

[azure lintel]

Pfft I recently bought all the dlc on ps since I lost access to it on xbox due to ps buying destiny

I make bad decisions with my wallet a lot

[brazen mountain]

I think we knew that...

[azure lintel]

😄

[restive whale]

I gather that much, I stay out of PvP anyways, and as far as I can tell PvP only happens in the DZ?

[azure lintel]

On the plus side, all the dlc was on sale

[brazen mountain]

Yep

Oh and don't forget about "conflict"

[restive whale]

I just dont wanna be that guy to drop the moolah on the game and 4 months later the servers shout down, or theres a division 3 xD

[brazen mountain]

Literally DZ pvp but a game mode

[azure lintel]

I think I got the title for trials in Des2 then never touched pvp again

[molten spire]

If Div 1 is anything to go by they aren't pulling the plug anytime soon

[restive whale]

Lightfall looks vomit inducing and season of the plunder was a pile of poopoo

[molten spire]

(Div 1 is still running)

[azure lintel]

It really was

Season of Blunder more like

[hushed hawk]

How long until season 10 ends? Wanna know if I still have time to complete it or not.

[dusk trench]

Reign of Fire eh

Figured it'd be an Outcast season considering the flavor text of the new weapons

[restive whale]

I mean as a ghost town or do ppl actually play?

[azure lintel]

13 hours 46mins

[hushed hawk]

Welp

[molten spire]

New season has been announced to drop next Tuesday

[restive whale]

Ouch 43USD for the warlords edition

[azure lintel]

Ppl play fosho

[brazen mountain]

Just become the flash it ain't that bad

[molten spire]

yeah you just missed the sale sadly

[restive whale]

How grindy compared to D2? and the RNG? Plus to you permanently lose your loot once you die?

[hushed hawk]

I have work to do as well so I guess I'll be missing the rewards. Hopefully none of them are meta

[brazen mountain]

Meta is poo poo anyways

[azure lintel]

There's a good amount of rng but on here you can choose item parts you want to grind for specifically so not as brutal

[restive whale]

wonder when the next one is xD

[brazen mountain]

(Unless you are a poo poo fart smeller meta slave)

[azure lintel]

Like I started playing a few days ago and basically got the set I wanted in a few hours

[hushed hawk]

I like playing meta

[brazen mountain]

We don't talk about them though...

[restive whale]

makes sense. Hows the community like?

[frozen meadow]

div2 community has two parts

us and them

[brazen mountain]

I bet it was striker

[azure lintel]

Met some cool people who dropped me exotics and stuff during a run

[azure lintel]

HF

[hushed hawk]

Striker is good again?

[restive whale]

I mean as a returning player, I sure you had some builds available xD

[brazen mountain]

FUC-

[restive whale]

worh nice

[azure lintel]

Not really. I basically just completed the dlc when I last played so my gear was poop

[brazen mountain]

Most people are nice

Unless your in DZ

[restive whale]

So, If i buy through steam, I still have to use the pooplay launcher?

[brazen mountain]

Yep

[restive whale]

oooff

[azure lintel]

Oh, don't know if anyone mentioned but some ppl get crashes on the game

I'm on PS so can't relate but ye

[restive whale]

for PC yeah Ive heard, now i dunno if its a CPU/ GPU or game issue

[low lily]

I hope they fix the invisibility clitch tho

[vapid breach]

I saw you saying that earlier but it was 2 hours later so I didn’t reply, but uhhh this happens on PS all the time

[molten spire]

Unironically yes, they made it easier to build and maintain stacks in order to differentiate it from Heartbreaker. So Heartbreaker gives you armor just in case, but Striker has a much higher theoretical damage maximum

[brazen mountain]

Yo ps broke

[vapid breach]

I don’t go a week without a DC ever, especially if you play a lot of countdown. It’s the thing in the game that makes you crash the most.

[azure lintel]

Season pass on here ain't brutal either. I did it in 4 days so once it resets I'll be done relatively quick

[restive whale]

how much is the seasons pass? and how long is a "season"

[azure lintel]

Really? I've never had a crash. Not even when played at launch

[azure lintel]

Like 1000 credits so like 7.99

[brazen mountain]

I think it's around 10$

[azure lintel]

Season length I don't know

[restive whale]

do ppl LFG for stuff or just walk around and you can joing a group of randoms who will hopefully not kill you

[restive whale]

worth or na?

[azure lintel]

Most missions have group finder

[vapid breach]

How much countdown have you been playing?

I’m farming at the moment so I’m playing at least 20 of them per day, so I’m crashing at least once per day minimum. On the weekend, like 3 times. And every three countdowns at least 1 person crashes.

[brazen mountain]

Yes most times

[azure lintel]

Useful for materials

And exotic caches

[brazen mountain]

No.. FOR DRIP

[azure lintel]

I did like 7 today

[restive whale]

also do I need to cheese forever levels of farm or just mission I can replay to get stuff

[azure lintel]

I have all the drip. Everything is a dupe now. My textiles are overflowing

[vapid breach]

And you’re telling me you’re never seeing players disconnect towards the main mission/extraction?

[brazen mountain]

You can replay missions

[restive whale]

and still get good loot?

[brazen mountain]

But unless you get the dlc...

[azure lintel]

Getting to 40 isn't too hard and power levels are nothing like Des2. You can build a decent build in a day and do most stuff

[brazen mountain]

You won't get level 40 and are stuck at level 30 (max)

[azure lintel]

Yea but i assume they on old gen

[restive whale]

Like whats a good noob friendly repeatable farm?

for example i mean

i can YT it

[azure lintel]

Hunters Fury

[brazen mountain]

There really isn't any good farms without the dlc

[restive whale]

fkin hate hunters, more of a warlock

[azure lintel]

You get armor on kill but basically most good stuff behind dlc

[restive whale]

Oh i meant with the DLC

[vapid breach]

Eh couldn’t tell you if old gen does DC more, but it absolutely happens to me all the time as a PS5 player. Guess the server RNG is your friend at the moment 😂 it usually does get better toward the end of a season and worse at the beginning so could be that too.

[brazen mountain]

Summit and CD

Also hunters fury isn't THAT good

[azure lintel]

Oh u meant a certain level to farm? Oh yes. Summit and Countdown since you can choose specifically what sets you want to drop before entering

[brazen mountain]

Reason: you have to get up close and personal

That means you have a deathwish

[restive whale]

noob friendly? or low level friendly I mean

[azure lintel]

Maybe. It always says server connection is bad but I think it's cuz I'm getting put with Americans

[brazen mountain]

Yes

[azure lintel]

Group will basically carry you anyway

[brazen mountain]

Not CD though

[azure lintel]

is thier anyway to make crashes less frequent I cant get past one mission and it seems to crash at the same point

[vapid breach]

This is a PlayStation thing. Hunters fury is THE most common gear set.

[restive whale]

Im PC btw

[azure lintel]

I went in there with nothing on challenge difficulty and got carried

[brazen mountain]

I'm on playstation

[earnest pelican]

yeah

idk how i managed to make it so i don't crash

or way less

[brazen mountain]

It gets better on heroic

You missin out

[azure lintel]

any tips for it

[azure lintel]

I meant heroic lol my bad

[earnest pelican]

i did a bunch of manips but what worked for me is not having anything opened in the background and when you arrive to the character you go to task manager, right click on easy anti cheat, go to details, set affinity, and tick all cores off and select 0

[vapid breach]

I’m surprised you try to argue against the HF fever.

[earnest pelican]

and you do it every single time you launch the game

[azure lintel]

alright ima try that

[brazen mountain]

When I've used it I know it

[earnest pelican]

usually if you do not crash within 30 mins you're good to go

if you do crash somehow keep doing it and it'll stop

[azure lintel]

alright ty bro

[earnest pelican]

game is great when it doesn't fuck my ass with crashes

[azure lintel]

i played it on the xbox and never had issues

[earnest pelican]

i be doing countdown and it crashed so many times right at the end

[lament mirage]

Yea I feel u a ex friend of mine was dealing with crashes yesterday

[earnest pelican]

i also love doing control points literally 380+ times to get all blueprints

i wanna punch someone for making it rng

[azure lintel]

i havent gotten their yet

[lament mirage]

That’s part of the grind tho

[earnest pelican]

this is the most useless grind

i've ever seen

why is getting the blueprints harder than getting the materials

[lament mirage]

Well minus the weapon mods blueprint’s yea

Not really hard tho

[vapid breach]

I made one recently after being pressured by my friend and I felt like it was meh so I use it for challenging and below content when I just want to play Rambo

[earnest pelican]

and who thought it would be fun doing control points hundreds of times

[restive whale]

how much would u said you get fucked, cos Im thinking of thaking the plunge

[lament mirage]

Unless u struggle still with challenge content

[earnest pelican]

it is extremely time consuming

[lament mirage]

That’s division 2 as a whole tho

[earnest pelican]

to finish the rest of the blueprints i need to grind for 10 more hours only doing the same shit

[brazen mountain]

Yea It ain't that good but it's a good beginner set

[earnest pelican]

running to the same control point

[lament mirage]

U grinding n putting time in

[earnest pelican]

dude

I like the grind when i get something out of it

the only thing i'm getting out of it is crafting materials i should be able to in the first place

[lament mirage]

Attachments are nice qol tho

[earnest pelican]

behind 10+ hours of grinding in which you're at the mercy of RNG

oh want +20 rounds ?

you get 1 chance out of 385 blueprints to get it

[frozen meadow]

But if you do it twice then the chance is 1/384 :D

[lament mirage]

I’ll sit this one out n let u rant but all the stuff ur complaining about is part of td2 gameplay especially at end game

Gotta get used too it or play a less grindy game

[frozen meadow]

I mean this is a game based around farming. You can't get mad when farming is involved

[lament mirage]

^

[earnest pelican]

again i'm not against the grinding but this is just a useless thing to put a grind on

[lament mirage]

But try listening to music or something while u do it

[earnest pelican]

game crashes if i do that

[frozen meadow]

So is expertise.

Expertise is useless. Don't see me complaining

I have a level 21 reviver hive

[vapid breach]

Tbh, I kind of miss having grind objectives.

[earnest pelican]

not really

[frozen meadow]

As useless as a +20 mag

[lament mirage]

Well expertise u can kinda passively farm it

[vapid breach]

Well besides my contractor’s gloves with status effects

[earnest pelican]

yeah nah

[frozen meadow]

We can agree to disagree

[lament mirage]

That would be the way

[earnest pelican]

going from 10+ to 20+ is the difference between an enemy having a sliver of hp to being dead

[lament mirage]

U not wrong

[earnest pelican]

so for me it was huge

but trying to get it caused me actual brain rot

[lament mirage]

30 in a mag vs 50 is kinda nice

[earnest pelican]

and oh you can craft the materials to optimize your weapons ? keep grinding it and hope to get blessed by rng

[lament mirage]

Minus the 10% or so reload penalty

[earnest pelican]

yeah but you get the reload speed from the shd

[frozen meadow]

Mate pls stop complaining about grinding in a grinding game

I thought it was 20

[lament mirage]

Td2 does have its flaws tho

[lament mirage]

True or adding weapon handling to ur build

So it evens out

[earnest pelican]

yep

[lament mirage]

I only notice it in PvP where it matters

[low lily]

I mean grinding now days is much worse than it was before tho, you could get proficiency levels insanely fast with the tombs farm or grind levels insanely fast on floor 10. Even check how loot changed in countdowns, the amount you got before is insane

[lament mirage]

Otherwise a few extra seconds reloading is ok

[earnest pelican]

tbh not an issue for me i get to the max proficiency pretty fast

but then again it's maybe because i don't pay attention to it

[lament mirage]

Yep n hitting max is ez

[low lily]

Nahh i don't grind that, i just hope they will remove it in dz like rumors is going then i am happy 🤣

[lament mirage]

Just clear wony on a alt n dump mats into leveling ur gear

Especially ur like at a high shd

[earnest pelican]

wdym

[lament mirage]

Wony only takes a 3 hrs ish

Clear , dump n repeat till ur a high expertise

[low lily]

They where looking into removing proficiency levels in dz, of course consider how many things they fucked up after that, we probably will never see it

[vapid breach]

From expertise 16-21 I just did WONY. I got sick and tired of playing with weapons and gear and skills I didn’t want to play with

[earnest pelican]

biggest thing is adding exotics into dz when you got hackers running around

[lament mirage]

I’m almost 5 but that’s just passively

[earnest pelican]

boutta be fun

[lament mirage]

Exotics been in the dz for years tho

[earnest pelican]

i mean EB

[low lily]

Hackers more pc issue, we have invisible clitch 🤣

[earnest pelican]

and others

[lament mirage]

Ah EB , bighorn n ravenous

[earnest pelican]

yeah those

[lament mirage]

I can’t wait

[vapid breach]

It’s surprising how often I have to explain to people that the devs never said the regulus was getting added to this pool.

[lament mirage]

I’ll finally get my last exotic

[earnest pelican]

i got EB on my first raid

pretty good

[lament mirage]

I’m just missing ravenous

Rather farm n kill in the dz tho

So gg

Ain’t super keen on ih

[earnest pelican]

haven't tried it yet

[frozen meadow]

wtf??? no it wasnt

OHHHHHHH you mean by wony standards

you werent here for the early days where farming was absolutely like impossible

[quick tendon]

Farming? What's that? Oh yeah, the three legendaries. Every day. snores
And others.

[frozen meadow]

before that

[quick tendon]

I'm trying to remember the Beta days

[frozen meadow]

legendaries didnt come out until wony...

there was a fully year between beta and wony

where targeted loot didnt exist

and all non-invaded missions only went up to challenging difficulty

[quick tendon]

Yeah, that too. And the mods were different too. DtE etc

Lots of changes.

[frozen meadow]

im saying dont complain about farming nowadays when you werent hear to see the actual hellhole of challenging farming JTC for a merciless

[quick tendon]

Didn't that come with the CE in the beginning? That and a few other cosmetic stuff

I find my old stuff now. hrms

[earnest pelican]

😎 i will

[frozen meadow]

wdym the CE

[austere thunder]

Is it me or did Div twitter just loose 200 k followers?! Damn

[frozen meadow]

who tf cares about twitter

[earnest pelican]

the economy will not recover from this

[frozen meadow]

D:

[earnest pelican]

it's all over

[austere thunder]

Div Agents have an economy? I thought that was one of the first things to go with the green poison virus?

[frozen meadow]

nah the first thing to go with the virus was my sanity

or even worse

[earnest pelican]

fake news keep using the money

[frozen meadow]

my man joe ferro D:

[earnest pelican]

[limber mist]

love the Ubisoft support, i found out i have other ubisoft account with some games, they have option to move games if u have multiple accounts.....
at the end, they moved it, to the wrong account.... so my progress is all ducked up

[frozen meadow]

dunno how thats related to this game in particular but ok

[limber mist]

division progress 😄

[earnest pelican]

nice

[lament mirage]

It’s aight just requires brain

[earnest pelican]

don't have one what a shame

[lament mirage]

Same sometimes

[balmy cedar]

It was hand sanitizer

[quick tendon]

A few years back, '19... They came out with the Collector's Edition (statue) and the Ultimate (I got the steelcase ultimate). Statue was a bit too expensive for me, at the time. Along with the Beta stuff (mostly cosmetics)

[frozen meadow]

oh the capitol defender pack i think it was called

[balmy cedar]

So the season 10 manhunt is extended to next week right

[astral jacinth]

Looks like it

Looking forward to stomping on the next manhunts

[hoary geyser]

Hey anyone wanna help me kill Anderson, Ubisoft name is RazerGamer13

[restive whale]

OK im gonna pick up the game, however wanted to learn the ropes and told the expansion is a MUST

but that already boosts me to level 30

Other than that any point buying the ultimate edition or saving the money

[tender notch]

TLDR: the base game is only 1/3 of the game. the DLC adds the other 2/3.

play the base game 1st and once you reach end game of base game, decide if you want to get the DLC or not (also goes on sale very often)

[half siren]

and the 3/3?

[zinc shadow]

2 thirds plus 1 third equals one whole

[quick tendon]

Endless matching for Legendary or Raids/CD/Summit 😄

[half siren]

you meant like that

[azure lintel]

Cheaper getting a cdkey with dlc anyways

[tender notch]

yes and no. cheaper only if you already enjoy the game otherwise waste of money if you didnt

[tender notch]

this ^^

[azure lintel]

Qwik mafs

[fiery cloud]

Hey RIRI

[half siren]

oh man this sucks, The fire special quest 2 require you to play the zoo map. However I played the zoo map but the quest did not update after it

is this common?

[tender notch]

cant be on story mode and cant be invaded.

most of those need to be hard or higher iirc

[half siren]

it was requirment normal

however I could not choose as it said Story as difficulty

[tender notch]

sometimes it bugs out from the map. goto the location and use the floating menu to change it.

[half siren]

yeye thats where it said story only since I wanted to amp it but there was choice for it

[tender notch]

in order to change difficulty you need to have done it on story mode at least once, fyi

[half siren]

gotcha

So I have been playing like 15 hours with gearscore 500, and it wipes to lvl 40. is this endgame to strive for? lvl 40 gear?

or will gearscore comeback after lvl 40

[tender notch]

gear score is gone, new system is level 40 gear.

also replace your gearscore stuff ASAP its way way way weaker then even green/ purple level 40 stuff

[half siren]

yeah as I said been grinding for gear score 500 on everything for 15 hours

and now afterwards it felt good to touch the DLC

[tender notch]

got it

[astral jacinth]

Gear score is replaced with Expertise score

[tender notch]

nope, expertise is something different too

[balmy cedar]

u trust those websites tho?

i've only used em for ps plus on sale

[azure lintel]

I use religiously

[balmy cedar]

interesting

which do you suggest most?

[azure lintel]

Got ps top up cards with decent discounts from either that or shopto

Don't know if shopto is EU based or not but if so then check cdkeys or allkeyshop

[astral jacinth]

It’s another method of AA

[lament mirage]

Heyyy

[balmy cedar]

huh shopto is forcing the currency as gbp

[tender notch]

of what?

[astral jacinth]

Gear

[tender notch]

i dont follow

expertise is a different system because it buffs the item stats. gear score does not (for WT5 stuff)

[astral jacinth]

Gear score does increase item stats but this other system does as well

[lament mirage]

Nah

Cuz gearscore the level is the same at max rank gear

[balmy cedar]

has anyone bought the upgraded versions of ps plus?

[lament mirage]

Stats don’t change

[azure lintel]

Me

[lament mirage]

Unlike expertise where u actually increase em past the cap

[azure lintel]

Extra only upgrade worth getting

[astral jacinth]

They do

[balmy cedar]

i see, a bunch of the games i go to buy are on it

[azure lintel]

Returnal was amazing and division 2

[balmy cedar]

$60 was too much for me tho 😂

imagine $100

[lament mirage]

#off-topic-discussions

[plush otter]

gearscore worked as a representation of how high the stats were on a gear/weapon item, expertise is a active alteration of a stat on gear or weapons

[azure lintel]

Ha

[plush otter]

they arent really similar

[astral jacinth]

Both methods improve the stats on gear in general

[plush otter]

gear score didnt improve stats, recal did

[tender notch]

WT1-4 does but at WT5 gear score doesnt buff item stats, only shows you how high rolled the gear is (a gear score 515 item = all stats rolled 100%)

[astral jacinth]

What’s the difference between gear score 1 and 500

[tender notch]

gear score 1 is world tier 1 and item uses different base stats then gear score 500 (which is WT 5). WT5 is like 460-515 scores

[astral jacinth]

Expertise is the continuation of gear advancement

[tender notch]

again no

[balmy cedar]

starts from 100 I believe

[plush otter]

wt 1 is 250, 1 to 250 is lvling upto 30, but its hidden at those points

[balmy cedar]

its higher based on the rolls of your gear

[azure lintel]

Ye

[balmy cedar]

I didn't mind it, it would be cool to tell you how optimized someone's build is

[astral jacinth]

It’s still improving gear performance

[balmy cedar]

but that would give way to people kicking new folks, they already do it based on shd

[azure lintel]

Yup

Even know I play better than higher shd ppl constantly dying

[tender notch]

not at WT5, gear score has zero impact on gear performance. while expertise does

[astral jacinth]

Expertise is the endgame advancement to improve gear

[azure lintel]

7K SHD player dying to first encounter in Countdown 😆

[balmy cedar]

from what I understand about gear score it was used to set a pre req to unlock the strongholds (invaded)... they did away with that in an update

[astral jacinth]

Expertise doesn’t increase gear stats? Is what I’m hearing

[azure lintel]

Is there any way to speed up process? Donating doesn't do much

[tender notch]

TLDR:
expertise is buffs on top of gear.
Gear score isnt buffs on gear, its just telling you how the stat bars rolled. (no impact on item stats)

[astral jacinth]

Level alts

[balmy cedar]

farm printer filament and gear sets

[plush otter]

its still available at lvl 40 on self inspect if you want to see gearscore, but its a pretty useless factor, as its only based on how full the stat bars on a item are, not if there is synergy or actual intent to make a cohesive build

[azure lintel]

Oh okay will do thx

[balmy cedar]

oh do you know which tab?

[astral jacinth]

I would say it still improves your overall stats the higher the gear score

[balmy cedar]

thats what it does yes, higher gear score means stronger gear but is based on your rolls

[plush otter]

gearscore doesnt increase gear stats, its a representation of the stats,
recalibration, optimisation, expertise or farming better give the stat increases
that is how they are different, one is due to stats, the others alter stats

[plush otter]

self inspect with /inspect {yourname} and then in the tab that list all the characters, its one of the numbers next to time played on that char

[balmy cedar]

oh thanks, I will check that out for sure

how many hours do you guys have

[tender notch]

^^

[astral jacinth]

Higher gear score pre improves your avatars performance, same with an AA system like expertice

[astral jacinth]

Not much shortcut to speed up any considerable way except alting, and even that takes time

[azure lintel]

How does alting help

[plush otter]

6,332h on main, 1,363h on my alt account

[balmy cedar]

you get all your shd points back on new character

can use them for redeeming for resources

[astral jacinth]

You get resources from your shd watch and the higher it is, the more you get

[plush otter]

easiest to check on tracker.gg aswell for that, as that tends to be more accurate for that

[balmy cedar]

but I personally dont find it worth it if under 2200 shd

[astral jacinth]

Don’t need to rush expertise imo

[tender notch]

^^

[balmy cedar]

ran it once... boring bleh

[azure lintel]

Will think about it. Just dint really want to slog through story again lol

[balmy cedar]

just the wony expansion

[azure lintel]

Oh that fine

[balmy cedar]

u get to murder keener over and over

[tender notch]

farm yourself a "twink" build for your level 30 alt. and use that to power through NYC for your alts.

[balmy cedar]

is that level 30 gear?

[tender notch]

well 30/31 NYC gear

[balmy cedar]

I had used level 30 gear but it worked till like level 34

then rikers became sponges

[tender notch]

so level 30 NYC gear not level 30 GS 500 gear.

[balmy cedar]

think ur level 31 gear at start of wony so ur right

they level u up on arrival

[tender notch]

been awhile but do 1 twink set for start of WONY and another for like level ~36 if you want. that will carry you through story.

[balmy cedar]

what brandsets u go for? I mostly remember they dropped new brandsets over the old ones in wony

[tender notch]

same as end game. just make the build for level 30/31

[balmy cedar]

oh I just realized u can put 15% wd on level 31 gear haha

[balmy cedar]

nice, I have 1992 hrs

whats ur shd

[plush otter]

yeah, you can do the same with saved stats in the lvl 30 library while lvl 1-30, somewhat usefull when combined with getting credits to hardcore chars with dz extracted gear, as you can make it super easy by recalling lvl 30 armour and wep cores on gear after lvl 10-ish after you unlock recal table

[astral jacinth]

Best advice is to focus on building skills you will need for endgame content instead of straight grinding in your early career with this game. 2 players with the same SHD, gear stats, build will perform way differently from each other in this game. The gear and build optimizations will naturally come along with your personal development and experiences along the way. Don’t get too worked up with what’s the best build either

[plush otter]

main 14k+ and alt 4k+, i play way too much 😛

[azure lintel]

Mine 122

[plush otter]

but also compared to some im super slow at lvls per hour, as there are plenty at those lvls with less than half the playtime

[azure lintel]

Whatever gets the job done is fine

[smoky meteor]

Why is my boredom telling me to level up a character through World Tiers the slow way instead of just boosting past them...

[balmy cedar]

dont blame you, its fun... just it keeps getting harder with new systems

i was upgrading guns via expertise... uses field recon data...

the resource it uses most is steel...

to me steel is the most rare resource

[astral jacinth]

Some folks like to run before they start to learn to walk, what’s why we have wheelchairs attempting pug legendary

[balmy cedar]

lol

my take is if ur gonna rush through the story ur gonna get bored at endgame with how repetitive it is

[tender notch]

IMHO, new players rushing through story doesnt make sense to me. like the story is new content for you, why rush through that, to get to the end?

[potent dew]

hmmm... in my recalibration library, i've got headshot damage at 9.8% (max is 10) - and i've got 10% on a mask, but it won't let me register it

(and it doesn't register as a maxed out stat either)

says 0 available for the "show extractable items"

oooh nevermind, it's one of those souped up named things

[potent condor]

What’s a good level to start dark zone and how does the dark zone work? What gets you better loot etc

[low flame]

You level 40 yet?

[smoky stag]

are you extracting to a stat for the same piece? mask to mask, holster to holster?

[potent condor]

No hit level 30 yesterday and seemed to be fine in dz when I went there with a friend at level 23 earlier

[potent dew]

you'll be matched with people in your bracket and/or world tier - so you won't be smashed if you're going in during your campaign or anything @potent condor

[hollow vigil]

when farming gear sets in countdown will the gear only have damage attribute?

[potent dew]

oh i was just being a derp. i tried to extract a 20% headshot damage from a named piece

[low flame]

Well until level 40, which requires the warlords of new york dlc, it is not worth going into the dark zone for loot

Plus you have to do world tiers if you haven’t done those

Which will make your gear obsolete quickly

[potent dew]

oh no

i'm missing one of the comms for the manhunt

[supple jetty]

Guys, Where The ravenous drop?

[lean wasp]

Operation Iron Horse

As of now.

[supple jetty]

Thanks

[regal wigeon]

what is hazard protection???

[potent dew]

sun lotion

(protects from fire and such)

[fiery cloud]

@regal wigeon fire, gas, foam

[regal wigeon]

OOOOO @fiery cloud

[fiery cloud]

yup need 90percent

goes with a tank build

[terse lava]

shush nub

[regal wigeon]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[potent condor]

I got as far as rescuing president Ellis

Now the only missions available are things such as outposts

And side missions

Idk how to get the next main mission

Also where do I farm for gear

[terse lava]

[potent dew]

you need to clear the strongholds iirc

[potent condor]

Yeah that’s what I meant by outposts

Also the stupid dlc won’t let me return to Washington till I beat the campaign for it

[hollow vigil]

im trying to farm for striker gear set but instead of getting armor as core attribute i get damage, does it mean i just gotta keep farming till it drops with armor? im farming it through countdown

[potent condor]

Made the mistake of accidentally starting it before finishing campaign

[potent dew]

oh, bummer

[potent condor]

Had to delete my character and restart

Luckily I was only 2 missions into campaign

[smoky stag]

it NEVER drops with armor (blue core) as its a weapon damage piece and always drops red core

[potent condor]

Also can I not upgrade my weapons?

As in increase their levels

[hollow vigil]

so is it at all possible to get it with armor as core?

[potent condor]

I have a weird Amber color marksman rifle at level 1

😭

[smoky stag]

it will not drop with a blue core ever
you can however, recalibrate the core to bl;ue

[hollow vigil]

oh so the only way is recal

damn i guess i have even more grinding to do

[fiery cloud]

@potent condor are you just starting

[potent condor]

No

I started 3 days ago

[fiery cloud]

lol close enough

[potent condor]

Why

[potent dew]

[fiery cloud]

[potent condor]

Ah that’s when my shift ends xD

[quick tendon]

Just got home. Is there an issue with TD2? Been getting Bravos?

[potent condor]

Welp then I won’t be home till like 7:30pm est

If you’re still on I’ll accept the help

[trim crater]

[potent condor]

I have classes and work unfortunately

😭

So only times I free are between 7:30pm est and 1-2am est

[faint fable]

Hey can anyone help me with my computer

[fiery cloud]

ask away

[quick tendon]

Make sure you have a rubber mallet nearby. 😉

[terse gazelle]

Not sure if this is the place to ask. But I just got back in to td2 and reached max gear score. I was wondering if there was gear/weapons higher level or tier than 500-515 gs loot?

[potent condor]

Ask

[tender wave]

yes if you buy the Warlords dlc, that moves the max level up to 40 (there's no more gearscore above 30 though)

[potent condor]

What’s gear score

Is that the number I see next to peoples name

[plain trail]

the length of their peepee

[fiery cloud]

Hey Kettle

[tender wave]

hey Saph

[late wraith]

gearscore was a way for massive to add higher strength items after level 30, via world tiers. After starting the DLC and level 31+ it is no longer exists. It still shows on non-dlc players, and caps at 515. The number next to peoples names is replaced by SHD level after the DLC and is theoretically infinite.

[tender wave]

there are various other numbers you might see next to players names too, including commendation score and shepherd level, but shd level is the most obvious.

[weak mural]

any1 else experiencing game crashing on countdown when ur about to extract?

[wintry ocean]

How many peices of vhaal are their ?

[tender wave]

there's a spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice with all the items in the game

yaahl will have the usual 6 pieces plus maybe a named item (can't remember off the top of my head)

[low flame]

Hollow man, the mask

% dth

[tender wave]

that's the one, so 7 pieces total

like most brands (a few have more than one named item)

[low flame]

Yeah now you need to clear the strongholds. Once you complete the capitol stronghold and return to the white house you enter a system of progression known as the world tiers

[terse gazelle]

Thank you!! 🫡

[drifting shale]

I really hope the new descent mode will be multiplayer compatible

[low flame]

If there’s one thing you can’t do it is be forced to play a piece of content solo in this game

[drifting shale]

Fair

[low flame]

You can only choose to play it solo

[drifting shale]

But since the screenshots of it looked to imply solo only so i was concerned

[potent condor]

Same here it’s boring

I like playing with people and making new friends

[wintry ocean]

Anyone know when running a hybrid build between skill and damage or shield how much skill tier is recommended ?

And does repair effect, effect catharsis talent ?

[celest needle]

at which time i can spawn the hunters?

midnight to 03:00 ?

[plush otter]

night is from 2100 to 0600, for the hunters that require nighttime to spawn them

[celest needle]

thank you @plush otter

[astral roost]

If its your first time running a mission, are you locked to story difficulty? I'm helping my bro who just started and we cant seem to change the mission difficulty

[smoky stag]

yes

[celest needle]

best way to get rogue agents fast ?

i am doing the bank strat and i am on my 14th reset still didn't spawn them

[smoky stag]

go into summit.
go up
make sure you have a checkpoint that is NOT floor 1, 100 or a boss floor
if you dont get one on the first climb, wipe or log out and in

repeat until you get rogues. works every 30 mins (rogue spawn cooldown)

[celest needle]

wdym first climb i have to complete the floor
?

[smoky stag]

no

just go up from lobby while u have those checkpoints
if u dont get em, either wipe right there or go back down to lobby and go back up, or log out and log in

[celest needle]

even floor 2 works ?

and doesn't matter the difficulty

[smoky stag]

we're basing off of checkpoints
which means floors that end in 1 (except floor 1), 4, 7
you obviously cant get rogues in boss floors (zero-ending) or floor 100

difficulty does not matter

[grave ermine]

need someone to help me start pentagon breach mission. my game is broken

[low flame]

#lfg-pc

[celest needle]

30 minutes no spawn

[smoky stag]

whats your checkpoint?
u on pc? how many rogues u need?

[fiery cloud]

Hey Doom

[smoky stag]

morning/afternoon/night Saph

[fiery cloud]

just got done w breakpoint dailies

[smoky stag]

LOL u must have terrible RNG. took me less than 5 mins
i got rogues. I havent spawned them yet.
Im on PC. I can invite you to my session and u can spawn and kill em.

its on heroic though

i'll stay on the floor for the next 10 mins while i make coffee

[potent condor]

Mfw division 2 randomly freezes

😔

[naive sand]

OMG i been farming black tusk CP and it didn't give me any BP

i thought it suppose to be any CP lv3

apparently its not

[smoky meteor]

Oh yeah, I could spend the next week before Season 11 drops farming the last few BPs I have and knocking out whatever projects I have left.

[wintry ocean]

Does incoming repair effect catharsis talent?

[balmy cedar]

Doesn’t it despawn them when someone joins

[balmy cedar]

Try summit challenges, can get 2 at once by doing 2 challenges at once

[mild grotto]

How do I donate supplies for the weekly exotic cache?

[balmy cedar]

Or whenever a challenge is completed

[balmy cedar]

Go to the project and donate each resource by pressing A or whatever button it is

[mild grotto]

Yeah I’m on Xbox but when I hover over it it doesn’t give me that option

[naive sand]

about that i still can't find the challenge

i only have weekly summit project

[balmy cedar]

It’s not in that tab

[naive sand]

wat tab then

[balmy cedar]

Idk I’m not on pc, look at the bottom left of the screen when you open your map it will tell you what button it is to “set challenges”

[thorny talon]

That means you are short on donating the particular resource .

Read the fcking thing ingame 😤

[naive sand]

don't have that option

is there a quest or something i have to do?

[mild grotto]

Yeha I have eyes I can read

[balmy cedar]

No it’s available from the getgo

[mild grotto]

I do have the resources

I just restarted and it worked

[naive sand]

how do i unlock it then?

[balmy cedar]

Idk what button it is on pc, it’s right on the HUD when you open the map

[smoky stag]

no. if you dont spawn them yet, you can wait as long as you want. typically done to get as many people in session to increase rogues count. as its x number of players + 1

[thorny talon]

Great 😃

[balmy cedar]

Good to know, I’ve had it despawn when backup joined once

Well not even backup, my group was set to friends

[rancid island]

Farmerd premium battle pass in 24h started playing the game 5 days ago,addicted already

[rancid vapor]

Does coyotes mask have increased chance on hyenas missions?

Or is it the same

[wintry ocean]

Keep running it it'll drop

[rancid vapor]

I am but I’m wondering if the chances are higher or the same

[wintry ocean]

Jefferson trade mission

[rancid vapor]

Mask is at the bank rn??

[wintry ocean]

I'd do Jefferson because you have a chance of getting like 25 masks

Jefferson trade drops coyotes specific

[rancid vapor]

Interesting

[potent condor]

how does the crafting system work?

[nimble scroll]

Hey quick question is it possible to get the lullaby gun back if you have sold it to the vendor or worse deconstructed it?

[pliant karma]

did u do any of those?

[nimble scroll]

If you want coyote mask you can try Jefferson trade centre docking area i got that mask while i was finishing up one of the bounty on challanging mode give by civilians.

[nimble scroll]

Well kind of

I put down in the stash and now i can't find anywhere

[pliant karma]

well if u want Coyote's mask u gotta kill the named boss Coyote for a better chance

I got mine from an exotic cache

[fading nexus]

Anyone need any help with anything in the game?

[thorny talon]

Ask that offer in #lfg-pc

I think newbies would love to jump on that

[wintry ocean]

Does incoming repair effect catharsis talent?

[frozen meadow]

It doesn't iirc

[wintry ocean]

@frozen meadow So just repairs from other people ? Do you know what it targets

[frozen meadow]

I believe it says specifically 5% of your armour, or something like that

[wintry ocean]

Yah I got that

The attribute incoming repairs

What does it target?

[azure lintel]

Are est servers going down at 3:30AM?

[balmy cedar]

Yas

[azure lintel]

That’s not that bad

[zenith mountain]

By any chance ps4 servers are having issue? I keep getting kicked after 2 min on

[frozen meadow]

Incoming repairs

[astral roost]

3:30 AM for you, 3:30 PM for me

[frozen meadow]

Like skills

[frozen meadow]

He said est

[azure lintel]

I’m so sorry

[balmy cedar]

Future people

How’s January 31st

[frozen meadow]

Probably shit

[astral roost]

yes, but I live in a different timezone

[frozen meadow]

Nah

[thorny talon]

I hate cold weather

[frozen meadow]

Cold weather means foxes get fluffier so I'm happy

[astral roost]

its nice. still has work. wondering if I can play by the time I get home or if the servers will still be down

[azure lintel]

Well when it’s 3:30 it’s gonna be down for 3 hours

[balmy cedar]

January 30th is dark rn

I wonder why

[azure lintel]

Maybe because it’s night?

[balmy cedar]

Someone turned the lights off

[azure lintel]

Yeah the sun did

[balmy cedar]

The sun is never off

[frozen meadow]

Sorry that was me

[balmy cedar]

If it was we’d be dead

[azure lintel]

Yay

[astral roost]

oh, and checking it, apparently I was slightly off

3:30 AM EST is actually 4:30 PM for me

So I can reach home by 5:30 and putter around for a couple hours before the servers go up

guess I'll do laundry or something

[frozen meadow]

You lied

[balmy cedar]

How does one find chores for themselves

[azure lintel]

Good question

[pliant karma]

Hopefully the server maintenance fixed the stability

[rare vapor]

Update soon?

DZ day Tuesday. Gonna stampede through DZ and steal everybodys EBs

[balmy cedar]

Such sophistication

[rare vapor]

[leaden thorn]

75 kills and still no chill out mask hmmm.... guess my rng is that bad

[astral roost]

Does the Tactician Drone's marks count as a Pulse? As in, do they count for equipment that have "plus x damage to pulsed enemies"?

[brazen mountain]

Unfortunate
