If I aim to get 10 shd levels a day, I could reach level 1000 in like 3 months right? I'm 125 rn

pulsar cosmos
# keen lily a damn

There's niche uses. Like giving a +1 charge to a reviver hive to raise a team member.

#

Then you pick it back up and swap back

lunar nimbus
#

I read that there's a bug that prevent you from starting DZ recon missions after level 40? Is that why I can't start it

tender wave
#

That said, if you can gain 10 levels a day and have more fun in the process, that's worth a lot too.

Damn... is Lady Death farmable in the summit?

surreal orbit
plush otter
#

for the dz ones, it auto completes those, its only pentagon that sees issues with a boost

#

the trigger seems to be broken for all of them at lvl 40, but working at lvl 30 wt5 or before

#

interestingly, coney that has a similar trigger setup as penta, with a prereq side mission, does still seem to trigger correctly

celest isle
#

and can someone tell me, what settings are good for summit farm? like what difficulty and directivs?

plush otter
plush otter
celest isle
#

can you tell me, what a good build would be?

plush otter
#

there is a spreadsheet in the pinned comments of #td2-build-advice , in the hub tab of it there are a ton of build guides, each has a preamble of how it plays at the top, have a look trough a few and see if anything sounds like what you would like to run, all of the raucey ones especially are well suited for heroic and above

blazing cosmos
#

Anyone know an effective way for farming max gear mods?

celest isle
#

thanks alot.

plush otter

#

I need to walk to the heli pilot everytime I want to do Countdown sadge

celest isle
#

those are million builds šŸ˜„

plush otter
lunar nimbus
#

Is there anyway to fix Countdown POI bug if you didn't do DZ recon missions?

celest isle
plush otter
lunar nimbus
#

@plush otter Oh yeah, I forgot that feature exists šŸ˜‚

plush otter
# celest isle whats your favorit Summmit build?

you are basically asking me which of my children i like best šŸ˜›
but my most ran solo summit builds is the ones under techtank, they are bruisers that work well for summit, and mostly the HB one, great for solo, still ok for groups,
in groups i usually am the designated eclipser, but when there already is one i usually go one of the red dmg builds, HE red, striker, hunters fury, nego or heartbreaker

lunar nimbus
#

Also, how do I change the targeted loot if Countdown POI isn't available?

smoky stag
#

via summit

lunar nimbus
#

It's funny to see that my guns don't even scratch the enemies' health pool. I guess that's why a lot of people kicking me after I joined their group KEK

#

My 5.56 round just scratched their paint šŸ˜‚

pulsar cosmos
#

To be fair that's probably just Hunters in a nutshell

kind pulsar
#

Hey.. I hope everyone's having a good day so far.

surreal orbit
lament mirage
#

U too

lunar nimbus
#

Bruh, I need to level up fast, since a lot of people are kicking me for being low level šŸ˜‚

lament mirage
#

Well if ur less then 100 shd u likely don’t have a decent enough build or prob running some random pieces of gear equipped

lunar nimbus
#

It's going to be a long grind

surreal orbit
lament mirage
#

True

#

One does help the other tho

#

Especially if gun dps

plush otter
#

and game knowledge and playstyle are more important than build

lament mirage
#

Si

plush otter
#

too bad that shd doesnt beat game knowledge, or it could be a game of rock paper scissors that way

lament mirage
#

They all still matter n play a role at the end of the day tho

lunar nimbus
#

It's 5 kicks for 1 game for me šŸ˜‚

#

Not bad

lunar nimbus
lament mirage
#

Hell u lack all 3 just starting out

jolly kettle
#

Its kind of waird at 30 of January they say get ready for raign of fire 2-3 Days later they cancel raign of fire release
Its so dissapointing for those who need new content to progress further in the game with manhunt and so on

lament mirage
pulsar cosmos
#

Also don't watch YouTube videos.

lament mirage
pulsar cosmos
#

Was gonna add; Unless it's recommended by someone or you can drop by here to double check.

#

Most of them are usually outdated, clickbait or wrong.

lament mirage
#

U can get some knowledge from wherever just take in what u need to know n cbf with the rest / the bs

#

Getting ur knowledge only from one source is wrong way to go imo

#

Especially if ur new n just starting out

plush otter
# lunar nimbus Yeah, how do you improve game knowledge btw. Just play more ?

to answer it fully would take a whole novel sized answer in how to self analyse and how to learn from other,
but mostly just play, and then think of what you did right and wrong, and what to change for the next time, and work on that till you have that down, and then rince and repeat
and you can accelerate it by either playing with others and analysing that aswell, or whatching footage of good players and trying to understand all the things they do, and why they do them

pulsar cosmos
#

Well, I started playing in January.

lament mirage
#

Nice

pulsar cosmos
#

You play, talk in this chat, make mistakes and... try everything

lament mirage
#

I started in 2020 ish

#

šŸ˜”

pulsar cosmos
#

How do you learn how to use the Recalibration station? You really just bash your head into it until it all clicks. As does optimization

lament mirage
#

It’s kinda simple tho

balmy cedar

Lol same

#

I tried recaling a gun in WONY and was like wtf who wiped my shit

plush otter
#

the 9th place one

pulsar cosmos
#

Yeah. There's a few great ones.

#

Just... most of them. Man.

#

"Health damage is good for Pestilence because of the DoT"

balmy cedar
#

How would you say it

#

Pesti good health dmg

plush otter
#

oh yeah, there is allot of bad info out there

#

and its is hard to parse what is and isnt wrong either

balmy cedar
#

Least you haven’t come across a backfire build with 33% chc

plush otter
#

as there is even stuff like fog of war that is mostly good info, but is relying on a poor understanding of some parts, so it gets traction because enough of some of it is interesting while the big picture is misinformation, and that is one of the better cases, as there is just straight up clickbait and conten creators that really dont know more than the lowest hangin fruits

hazy saffron
#

Is farming supply routes the fastest way for seasonal levels still?

plush otter
#

yeah, convoys farming for xp is still the easiest best method for xp

lunar nimbus
#

Technologically-speaking, how much more advanced technology is in The Division universe?

#

Imagine healing HIVE in real life. jesus

smoky stag
#

it doesnt heal the physical body though. more like repiars body armor. as i understood it

pulsar cosmos
#

Still; homing darts.

lunar nimbus
#

My head canon is that the HIVE shoots nano-bots ( like the one in Terminator ) to repair armor

pulsar cosmos
#

Can you imagine offensive hives in current warfare?

#

Just shoot one in a sabot out of a launcher and it clears a section of a building for you

lunar nimbus
#

It's just small drone bomb, no? I mean US already has suicide drones

#

Just not that small, but we're getting there

pulsar cosmos
#

No, it literally fires off whistling birds from Star Wars lmao

#

Not -that- small but still, homing projectiles of that size.

lunar nimbus
#

So like smart guns from Cyberpunk 2077?

#

The most believable piece of tech is the war hounds, since it's just Boston Robotic's dogs with guns.

#

And payload drones, since a lot of countries are already using those

broken smelt

Is there any news on a fix for the crashes yet btw? Havne't been able to play for 2 days because it crashes everytime I try to travel from NY to DC

We don’t actually know if ISSAC actually exists irl because it would br highest level of opsec anyway

Cortana

main delta
#

For all we know it already does

#

Cortana is just AI put into a hologram

#

AR exists

#

Unless you meant windows Cortana then I agree it’s the same(ish)

plush otter
#

what isac is shown to be able to process and make decisions on, plus all the tech that is reliant on it lore wise like the hud, but also stuff like pulse and just IFF that it can do, that is beyond anything we have close to currently

lament mirage
#

@plush otter u busy?

plush otter

Hey RIRI,

Hey Saph

how far along are you already?

main delta
#

Pulse is like an emp

#

That exists too

lament mirage
main delta
#

And to my knowledge anyway the military could have HUD like gear

lament mirage
#

Did unlock a few safe houses

plush otter
# main delta Pulse is like an emp

no pulse as in the pulse that identifies and places targets on your hud, also even the ingame disrupt is also years ahead as it does IFF

#

pulsing as we have now ingame, if yo uhad that in reallife, that would be a instant gamechanger in warfare or engagements

plush otter

Yep tho likely only the SF would prob use that type of stuff

Doubt grunts will

Interesting, I just read a reddit post that claims polycarbonate drops more frequently on hard difficulty than challenging or heroic.

#

Have to test it.

neat sedge
#

wonder how hard it would be for them to make the Invaded manhunt missions have the option to queue up the entire manhunt so long as you don't have a pre-existing manhunt active, just so we can collect all audio comms

#

or simpler make the all manhunt audio logs dropped by the boss

#

not all in one go, like 2 per run

can exotics drop from countdown

cloud sage
abstract dew
#

is there anywhere that has higher drops for them? trying to get that smg you guys told me about earlier..

#

lady something

cloud sage
#

Well, you do get a certain currency from doing Countdown which you can use to buy exotic caches.

#

The vendor is close to the helipad by the White House. Not an NPC, just like an ATM machine-thingy.

plush otter
# abstract dew can exotics drop from countdown

there is a pool mechanic with what can drop as far as exotics go, have a look at Exotic Drop Locations and Chances in this spreadsheethttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml#

#

everything with green on the right can drop at all times, all the yellow ones need something before they are added to your exotic loot pool, usually that is also the first place you will get them from aswell

cloud sage
#

Actually, I had to go and check and it's not an ATM-thingy. It's actually just a desk with a laptop šŸ˜›

plush otter
#

but TL farm is the better source

round grail
#

im missing one true son from the card deck. any idea whats the best place i could find for it ?

plush otter
#

there is a annoying design choice that means if they died in your world, the game checks them off, as it will try to only spawn world bosses none or most group members dont have the card for, but if they died and you didnt pick up the card, then after it thinks you have the full list, then goes full random spawns of the nameds

#

and they are easy to not loot by accident, as they may spawn and get in a fight with rival npcs and die, and the card dropped, but you didnt even know

round grail
#

well true sons is the only one not full and i have killed repeats of the bosses i already have from the other full decks

plush otter
#

yeah, so at this point its a full random spawn for you, they can still spawn the one you need, but its usually takes a while to get the last one

round grail
#

lame

plush otter
#

agreed, but you will get it eventually if you keep killing them, had the same issue on 2 chars by accident, and 1 other where i did it on purpose to show it worked that way, and each took a while to get their last card

surreal orbit
balmy cedar
#

Why does countdown always seem to crash after the spec op safe…

balmy cedar
main delta
#

Is the cost/exo cache at least reasonable for running countdowns?

balmy cedar
#

If you’re runnin then one after the other and tryna buy after each time I’d suppose no… I’ve been saving my coins to buy in bulk so I don’t have to feel bad about it lol

main delta
#

All I want is the pestilence

balmy cedar
#

It’s easier to get that from targeted loot tbh

#

The cache will just give you more random things

main delta
#

I mean I can run dozens of targeted loot missions and never see an exotic

#

Or if I do it’s not one I want

balmy cedar
#

You have to farm the boss not the mission

main delta
#

Pesti & catharsis mask are ones I’m hunting for

#

Which boss then?

balmy cedar
#

Whichever has LMG targeted loot

plush otter
# balmy cedar So each card boss doesn’t have their own area? They’re random?

every time you go near a spawn point, a random named will be picked that the most members of the group have never had die yet, and is still on their list so to say,
there is some reasons to think that especially the NY spots may have some set factions tied to them so that only some factions may spawn at that spot, but no one has given hard evidence on that, but likely due to it not being a worthwhile thing to test

balmy cedar
#

Need directives to go along with it, none that would impede your ability to kill or slow you down

#

So special ammo is kind of hit or miss if it’s outcasts… I’d turn it off

#

Can also farm any boss floor in summit

main delta
#

Literally all of them becides the fog of war impede me

balmy cedar
#

No regen?

#

That one wouldn’t even affect your farming cause you’d not be clearing rooms

main delta
#

I’m running an lmg striker build, no regen makes it more of a pain

balmy cedar
#

Decoy and some other aggro deterrent

#

I run blinder firefly

#

Run all red and an AR

#

no stacking , no loss of dps

plush otter
#

no regen can be completely bypassed, its only the regen of when you go out of combat, once out of combat you can swap weapons and it will heal you to full, its a easy trick once you know it

main delta
#

Wat

balmy cedar
#

If you’re wiping pistolero shouldn’t affect u either I think

main delta
#

That seems 😐

#

Which my bleed build pistolero isn’t a big issue

plush otter
main delta
#

Liberty does work

plush otter
#

well, except if you run cham or HH, but then you can do the same by going into invertory and swap a piece of gear to something else and back as another way to heal back to full out of combat

balmy cedar
#

I consider armor to be a stat you need when ads are rushing… cause if it’s constantly breaking (run unbreakable) and there’s no regen then it’s just a thing that helps you take more damage

main delta
#

Made a build with something like 2.6m armor… no dps it wasn’t good at all 🤣

#

Can I tune it to make it work? Sure, not gonna waste the resources on it

balmy cedar
#

Well for boss farming either skill build or dps (faster)

main delta
#

I wanted to see how well I could tank damage

#

Eh, won’t bother

#

I have a skill build too

#

So if it’s open world targeted, will bounties work as bosses?

when does it end now?

balmy cedar
#

Idk

#

Give or take you have an extra week

balmy cedar
#

Not with another character either, it needs to be new division 2 logins

#

Also when you do it, you have to confirm with the other person that they received a confirmation email before you start

It’s buggy af and inconsistent

it'll be added to general loot pool after

main delta
#

It’s not that good of a sidearm anyway

balmy cedar
wise atlas
#

200% extra weapon damage isn't good?

balmy cedar
#

It’s good.. but likely you’ll be marking 3 targets at most

#

Yeah, you don't go to all 10

#

2,3 already 40 or 60% amp so

wise atlas
#

ah

knotty quail
#

Takes too long plus exposes you to fire

#

And you won't kill all 10 mobs in 10s anyway

balmy cedar

That 200 would probably be best and work in the federal emergency bunker invaded warhound room lol

When you matchmake story missions replay after lvl 40, you don't get match with people on the similar level as you anymore? I matchmake Jefferson Trade Center and got into a group of lvl 1000 players. When I matchmake before completing WONY, I always get match with someone with a similar level.

neat sedge
#

technically everyone is level 40 after WoNY, don't worry about their SHD level all it means its how much time they've put into the game

lunar nimbus
neat sedge
#

yeah it takes a bit to get used to, I do Heroic because I'm used to it, and don't even find Legendary missions that difficult, roll things back to your own pace

#

maybe look into crafting you're first build and upgrading it over time, also remember to upgrade your watch, the stat boosts it provides are great

lunar nimbus
#

Wow, after lvl 40, it's easy to get your inventory full. I never had my inventory full when I grinding campaign

neat sedge
#

my first suggestion for newer players is to make a skill build (Drone/ Turret) and farming control points

#

if you destroy nearby activities and upgrade it to Challenging level you can start getting blueprints for your crafting station

junior kernel
#

I typically farm Sleeping Giant, about 3 minutes a pop on challenging with directives. You get 3 of the pennant flag bois (field recon data? idk) and 440k xp per clear.

#

then reset your map and hit it again. i have an elgato button set to do the reset command keys

lunar nimbus
#

@neat sedgeAnother question, the equipped mod for skills won't show up in the inventory screen, right?

neat sedge
#

correct

#

its a bit hard to get used to if you used to play Div 1

Answered a call for backup earlier for a bounty and rez'd the player, then proceeded to mop up the bounty targets while he was AFK the entire time I guess. Two other agents joined in for whatever targets there were, he didn't move the entire time. One by one everyone just stood in front of him, emoted and left.

Drone is easier because it follows you around.

drone also handy for pulling aggro

low flame
#

Plus drone can distract enemies so you can shoot them

Turret needs a bit of wrangling but it's consistent DPS and you can pick it up to reduce its cooldown.

And turret can tank 5 legendary white tusk juggs

Yeah Turret + Drone next to a chopper dropping Elites

for my HC run I hung back in that first area and let all the waves of adds spawn in and come to me a few at a time, without getting close enough to trigger the drones

it's slow but safe, they stop spawning in eventually

How do you level up classes like the Gunner and all those

final anchor
#

You have to have the class equipped and it will level up as you level up

Thank you

I guess its just slow?

Thank you

Invaded missions give 5 points towards the equipped class. Some bounties as well, just check the rewards on the side to see if it does or not.

low flame
#

To be exact,
1 Point for Daily Hard Mission.
3 Points for Daily Challenging Mission.
Each time you get rewarded with a Field Proficiency Cache, you get 3 points.
1 Point when you capture a Level 4 Control Point.
5 Points for completing an Invaded Mission or an Invaded Stronghold (only on the first completion of the week).
Each weekly bounty you complete also gives you 3 Points.

# azure lintel I guess its just slow?

Invaded missions and strongholds give 5 spec points on your first run of the week, and daily bounties (orange icons) also give 3 to 5 spec points depending on difficulty.

I think I have every piece of heartbreaker and striker

I demand E-cred compensation for this delay!

so the repair trap isnt avaliable yet?

#

all of the skills from season 1-4 manhunts can be gotten once you reach a high enough season lvl to unlock them, from memory they are all unlocked by season lvl 68

#

after they unlock on the reward track, and then you can toggle the missions they are on to do the manhunt variant and get the skills

#

anyone has good tanky/dps build with shield?

#

I wonder if I can incorporate red/blue and yellow in that

late wraith

#

Dual builds are decent tho

lean wasp
#

ah gotcha

late wraith
#

I would like run a normal dps build but run technician and memento to give your skills/armor a small boost

#

I had 4x Foundry with 2 other Brand sets

#

I've been grinding for a red Closer chestpiece from Uzina, but the ones I find all drop with blues on them

smoky stag
#

gear atrribute colors will tend to follow the color of their default core color
gear with blue cores will almost always drop blue minor attributes
red will drop with red
yellow with yellow
MOSTLY.
this was designed to reduce rainbow rolls
in the end its still just rng and just farm some more till you get that double crit closer that you can roll to red core

paper phoenix
#

Trying to slap together an all red 4pc Striker build that uses The Closer for chest. I had two in my stash that were nowhere near where I needed them and the three I found today were all blue rolls

brazen mountain
#

Yooo I just picked up a ravenous

paper phoenix
#

Nice

abstract dew
#

can you activate the new york dlc through your ubisoft app if you have the game purchased via steam? or do they not let that slide

plain trail
#

if i wasn't using striker chest+backpack

#

consider a diff build if you really wanna use the perfect spotter talent

paper phoenix
#

So it's:

Technician talent for linked laser pointer
Kingbreaker AR

Mask - All red Ceska w/CHC mod
Chest - Closer all red w/ CHC mod
Holster - Striker w/CHC roll
Knees - Striker w/CHD roll
Gloves - Striker w/CHD roll
Backpack - Striker w/CHC and CHC mod

plain trail
#

Also kingbreaker doesnt work super well with striker

#

Since the rpm is so low that you'll lose stacks pretty fast

winter hatch
#

hey fellas just picking this game up again after years, is the darkzine still populated or is there other shit that people d nowadays?

paper phoenix
plain trail
#

yes but the 15% RoF works a bit better on a faster base like a smg or a m4

paper phoenix
plain trail
#

if you really wanna use the closer + kingbreaker, I'll suggest heartbreaker

#

since with heartbreaker, you can build up the stacks and then swap to maintain them

hoary condor
#

Heartbreaker rocks

plain trail
#

rather than constantly fight to maintain stacks like with striker

balmy cedar
paper phoenix
#

I should clarify, I've never set foot into a raid but I'm aiming to change that

lean wasp
#

Raids are more fun then DZ I can tell you that lol

paper phoenix
#

Chance at Exotics aside, I'm looking for new experiences in the game. Raids and Legendaries are all that's left.

merry scarab
#

hey what attachments should I use for smg I heard crit chance dosent really matter on them

wise atlas
#

do people still play the division 1?

brazen mountain
merry scarab
#

alot of people consider it better than 2

merry scarab
brazen mountain
#

Anything with crit dmg

#

And accuracy

wise atlas
#

@merry scarab are you named after an Everquest expansion?

brazen mountain
#

Reason being: SMG's have lots of crit chance already

#

And they don't have much accuracy

#

Or more like SOME

#

I'm more into attachments for weapon fashion

balmy cedar
#

Accuracy only tends to matter if you’re going over 10-15 meters

brazen mountain
#

eh good point

merry scarab
#

I think austrialian dz's are more chill

#

Ive only encountered 3 people only one was rogue

#

and since hunters fury isnt contaminated I can just hop in and retrieve it

merry scarab
#

hey do I need to get the hunters fury mask for builds or nah

smoky stag
balmy cedar
#

From there you should try to cap at 60 Chc with a series of attributes, mods, ceska or your watch

#

Smg has 21% max crit chance by default

merry scarab
#

so I have heartbreaker striker and hunters fury

midnight flare
smoky stag
#

because you want 4pc of the HF set on that build. and not having the mask means you are using either the chest or backpack which are both terrible to have. for the chest and backpack you want something else thats high end or an exotic.

midnight flare
midnight flare
merry scarab
# smoky stag yes

Curious question what mods would you suggest for smg's since you seem to know your stuff

smoky stag
merry scarab
#

oh alright though gotta be honest using the vectors Im almost always tempted to equip the surpressor but then again between stability optimal range and accuracy the choice dosnt seem to matter

viscid cargo
#

Note though you get more value from chc on attachments than gear mods, so if you have the choice its better to run chc attachments and chd gear mods than the other way around @merry scarab

lone tinsel
viscid cargo
#

Attachments are (mostly) 5% for both, whereas gear mods are 6% chc and 12% chd

merry scarab
lone tinsel
smoky stag
merry scarab
#

@lone tinsel depends on my mood I got the regular vector with the stock from the dark zone today I also got the 45 acp one with the long barrel and the one with no stock I think I put in my stash or god rid of

merry scarab
#

good old switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading

smoky stag
#

ah

merry scarab
#

ofc unless your gunner in witch case with the 1 sec and you suddenly get faster reload behind cover

deep blaze
#

Just melee them, very very useful in this game :^)

#

Gently giving them headpats

merry scarab
#

I wish we had a flashbang riot shield

#

the ones the rikers use but as a penalty you can only use shotguns and pistols

#

with it

#

I swear these two black tusks officers on coney island are incompetent

lone tinsel
merry scarab
#

it was either death by the sheriff or death by cleaner

#

I got a random named gun called test subject

lone tinsel
merry scarab
#

sadly it got health and accuracy

lone tinsel
merry scarab
lone tinsel
#

I mean u could keep it if u need a weapon with In sync talent anyway.

Better than Harmony (basically rifle ver. Of test subject) if u ask me.

merry scarab
plain trail
#

I personally prefer boomerang

#

cuz even though it is less dmg it makes the ammo management easier

deep blaze
#

unless the weapon is very very rare to obtain somehow in first instance, basically if you can't have it be DTOOC + talent of your choice it's not that great and kind of a dead piece, you can get one of those fairly quickly and have it perform much better

viscid cargo
#

(Dta close second)

#

If you play challenging/heroic

deep blaze
# merry scarab sadly it got health and accuracy

so all weapons have 3 attributes where the first is damage to their weapon type (like on AR it's assault rifle damage), the 2nd is also always set in stone for each weapon type, on all ARs it'll be health damage, and the 3rd stat is flexible and RNG (and you can recalibrate it to another type), and usually best by far is damage to targets out of cover
(exception is of course exotic weapons that have static attributes of a specific combination depending on which one it is and you can't change it, only optimise it)

and health damage on ARs is often really great actually, as it's a lot (21% when maxed) and there's plenty of enemies that don't have armour (including confusing things like the armour plates on dogs, those also count as doing health damage so it's amplified)

deep blaze
# viscid cargo (Dta close second)

I'd really not call it close second, it's like almost half the value, and there's almost always out of cover targets (and the ones with most health are often not even able to be in cover) while not everything has a lot of armour, sure it helps against yellows mostly but not against chungas/dogs/tanks etc

#

but probably second best if you really had to choose something else than dtooc?

#

DtA can be neat for skills though as a lot of them benefit from DtA AFAIK which is why shotguns can be neat to be held while using them as they have 12% DtA

plush otter
deep blaze
#

On how I'd consider 5% RoF attribute more valuable than 6% DtA if you had to choose between those two unless it exactly brings you over a break-even point where you go from needing 1 to 2 mags on an enemy or something, it's just a more versatile/always active damage increase basically otherwise

#

I just got caught up checking if it's a stand-alone multiplier but realised it can be diminished too if you have say strikers where that also gives 15% so then it first gets added together to 20% and then applied to base RPM

#

I just realised the build tool got expertise added to weapons which is why there's suddenly an extra field there to work with, I kept getting confused but didn't read it

plush otter
#

yeah, rpm is additive from all sources, but will still beat out dta as it will still apply more, even with 15 + 5 that is diminished down to 4.3, but that dta, even with a generous 0.7 apply rate, is 4.2, and 70% active is rare for dta to be able to reach

#

and that rof being diminishable, makes some of the things people are already thinking up for the ninja bag even more hilariously bad than they understand

deep blaze
#

just checked for that RPM buff stacking if that'd be an extra strongpoint vs how DtA can also diminish of course if you have walker/airaldi brand giving that 5% DtA or say contractor's

autumn thunder
#

Just finished the Anderson manhunt but my inventory was cool and I couldnt pick up the exotic... I'm just SOL at this point right?

deep blaze
#

wasn't that a bit of an issue that they tried to give a solution to like sending it in mailbox afterwards?

#

or was it just a one time grand around NYE

autumn thunder
#

Dunno.. just sucks was really happy with the drop too.

deep blaze
#

I might be confusing it with a fix for how if you scrap it it won't give an exotic component

#

but I might be dreaming that fix existing as well

plush otter
#

they said they were going to give everyone that was online in the timeframe , that or done the mission, dont remember the wording, a doctor home, but i dont know if that has already occurred, or is planned still

deep blaze
#

"we intend to do a mass grant for all players in the New Year as soon as possible"

Well that was said end of 2022
and 2023 is the new year
we're in the new year so like maybe it'll come in 8 months from now

#

or they'll forget and it'll move to New Decade

plush otter
smoky stag
#

the thing about doc home and anderson mission isnt that the doc home is a good item to have but that getting it allows you to farm the mission for the random exotic afterwards. iirc you cant farm for random exo unless you specifically received the doc home in your inventory

plush otter
#

oh really, did not know that one yet, but so on second run it grants it? or you have to redo the manhunt?

#

or get it dropped for you?

merry scarab
smoky stag
#

redo i think is the fix
this was back in december mind you so things could have changed. but id much rather give worst news and be wrong

merry scarab
#

I wish I could do the manhunt but dont got everything for my build yet

#

I wish I had a bud who knows there shit show me what to do to make the best build I can

merry scarab
#

well good news

#

I got heart breaker striker and hunters fury

#

with multiple diffrent ones for each slot

#

bassically I horded them

Hey guys,
Today when playing D2, I called for backup and that guy almost wipe the reinforcement within 10 sec. While leaving the area he left some weapon maybe or I won I'm not sure. I'm level 8 first of all. So, when I start examine the drop I loot a very high end weapon with 300k damage and orange background while I still with weapon with green background. šŸ˜‚ pardon me for poor game knowledge.! But, tbh, I'm unable to equip those! Any idea how can I equip Level 0 weapons and gears if I received meanwhile?

You have to get to level 40 first (beat the WONY dlc) and then you can equip that

ORDER NOT SUCCESSFUL
Therefore it was not possible to proceed with the order.
Don't worry, no money has been withdrawn from the account.

Here's what you can do:

  • Contact your bank to find out if the problem comes from them (for example, if the transaction limit was exceeded)

  • Or try again using another payment method

I played D2 when it came out and kind of never went back until a couple days ago. I see there is a season pass or what not. I can buy it but it has 0 for time left. So, would I get all the content or is it literally allowing you to buy an expired pass and get nothing out of it?

If it says season 10 then it’s for the current manhunt. Depending on how fast you think you can go through 100 levels the rewards track might not be worth it.

I can wait then. Not sure when the next one happens but I don't have enough time I'm sure

Play as much as you want/can/have time for and if the season is still purchaseable by the time you hit 100, get the pass if you want the premium reward track stuff.

there's definitely more than 3-4 people working on the game

I mean, going dark for a full year while the team gets up to speed and starts working on content and then doing a single game mode and a few seasons isn't super exciting. Sure, new sets are nice but like...not sure how exciting running the same missions with a tweaked build is.

of course it's not, but my point is it doesn't matter how many devs are working on it, the game's still getting content but at a slow pace

#

it was dead for over a year but they brought it back with something

plain trail
#

the problem is that the monetization is too fair lol

forest vine
#

And I'm saying that "something" is underwhelming from my PoV, that's it.

plain trail
#

they charge you for wony dlc and for the season pass

vague pecan
#

its contextual, i haven't spent a penny outside of the box price on release, so i take anything with open arms

plain trail
#

but they don't have any of the bullshit gacha stuff; so they really dont have an incentive to pump content

forest vine
#

I mean, you can sustain a game on MTX sales and/or the occasional expansion.

vague pecan
#

underwhelming or not

plain trail
#

yeah but why would you

forest vine
#

Plenty of other games do it, lol.

plain trail
#

in the end, if you're not making money why waste the time

vague pecan
#

time, money, resources, that's exactly why they put Massive into their other large IPs

#

put the effort in to hopefully get their money out

forest vine
#

Which results in the conclusion that if Massive/Ubi as a company aren't putting effort into TD2...why should players put money into it? : P I get it, priorities and Avatar game is important and all, but much like TD1 it feels like TD2 has so much more potential despite Massive's stumbles but they just move on from it.

vague pecan
#

if anyone's still putting money into TD2 that's on them, lets face it

#

but its catch 22. they're not putting effort in because they aren't getting money from it. and vice versa.

#

it's not the same model as something like Destiny 2, it doesn't work that way, and they have other IPs to take care of

forest vine
#

I mean the whole reason they spun development back up was apparently because Yves is an idiot and blurted out that more support was coming on an earnings call, rofl.

vague pecan
#

same for stuff like Warframe

forest vine
#

DE only runs Warframe though, and Bungie only runs Destiny 2. They each have other projects, but those are the only actually released games.

vague pecan
#

that's precisely my point lol

forest vine
#

But they're still working on other titles, and otherwise use the same general model (minus Warframe which doesn't sell expansions/DLC)

vague pecan
#

it's the model that TD2 has never run. arguably Destiny 2 was pretty close at its inception and still has a laughable model but there we go

#

people still buy into it. at the end of the day TD2 has been on life support for a long time, but what does come i think most fans of the game are happy to get it

Hey Poly long time no see

time for a countdown run or 3

brave aspen

Hi Saph

#

Yep

#

Just need to replace the WH rolled ones for crit chance

azure lintel
#

umm is it normal to start out (for the normal signature weapons) with 200 points (no cheats)?

#

oh and idk if i should ask here but whats the best way to get exotic gear?

cloud sage
#

Why do you have to get shafted once in a while when doing Countdown if you happen to be unlucky with where you spawn in relation to the initial hunters position?

#

It's so much fun getting less Countdown requisition points just because the other sub group was closer and killed them off when you were too far away to get credited with loot.

fiery cloud
#

@azure lintel craft the liberty nemisis,and chatterbox

lunar nimbus
#

What does the "share item" and the timer mean?

hazy copper
#

you can give gear to people that were in the party when it dropped until you modify it or until that timer runs out

lunar nimbus
#

Ah, I see. I got it from Summit. Thanks

azure lintel
#

guys wta is general anderson is not yet open or i need to do another things

Have you done the entire manhunt leading up to that? All the LTs, etc.

Lowest cooldown time for Seeker mine? I'm currently sitting at 70% skill haste and cooldown time is still bad at 30 seconds

I want a clear answer from Ubi/Massive about if they're actively working on a fix to the crashing. Now.

balmy cedar

#

Mortar turret vs Assault turret?

balmy cedar
#

Mortar turret needs explosive build

earnest pelican
#

Assault usually

lunar nimbus
#

Skill build with mortar turret isn't optimal enough?

balmy cedar
#

Not that I’d say

#

You’d be using more mortars than neeeded to do damage

#

More downtime on mortar if that’s the case

lunar nimbus
#

So for mortar I should go with Skill/ explosive hybrid?

balmy cedar
#

Yes?

#

You’d want some haste

lunar nimbus
#

Alright. Skill Haste + Explosive stuff then

#

Ngl, when I started playing I never though the build system is this complex. Makes the game more fux :D

#

Right now I'm aiming for Turret/ Drone build, and explosive build.

blazing zinc
#

Had my first free mode Hunter encounter last night

round grail
#

My current mortar build is okay if i can do heroics

lament mirage
#

Try testing it on legendary

It works there too

#

Not solo tho lol

Just joined a random mission, killed one enemy, and then the mission ended

#

Is Summit a good place to farm SHD level?

balmy cedar
#

Only if you can clear the floor fast… that includes finishing the objectives which often require multiple steps

#

So no unless u have a competent team

lunar nimbus
#

So which activity is a good place to farm SHD level?

plain trail
#

convoys+CP if you need blueprints. convoys if you don't.

lunar nimbus
plain trail
#

i only turn on 3-4

#

but yeah you can turn on all 5 if you can handle them

Yo what’s the best way to get tier 5

The livestream has been delayed

#

ā€œTo a later dateā€

pine spear
#

is the battle pass going to end at a later date too?

#

still says it's ending tomorrow

surreal orbit
low flame
#

I’m saying tomorrow there will be a maintenance to extend the current season, and they will do this indefinitely until the release date of tu17 is confirmed

timber hatch
# lunar nimbus Convoys with all directives turn on right?

the goal is to be as efficient as possible with your difficulty and directives. technically the highest ceiling is heroic + all directives, but thats not nesicarily true for what would be the most efficient for you. if either the difficulty setting or directive(s) are slowing you down more than they are gaining for you, turn them off. Its all about exp per hour as an average rate, not just what gets you the most exp per activity completion

surreal orbit
low flame
#

Yeah that’s just what I think since the release date of tu17 is definitely not tomorrow

#

And so they’ll extend the current season

potent condor
#

so how do you spam convoys

#

someone explain this concept to me

timber hatch
#

you just fast travel around the map hunting them as quickly as you can. Ideally you travel to a point the are going in the direction of so they come to you instead of going away. Clear them as quickly as you can, ideally well under a minute, and move to the next one. If they arent spawing anywhere then do something to reset your map like changing difficulty or directive

brave aspen
#

Gah, sucks I haven't gotten the Ceska BP I want

#

Want a CHC/CHD Vigilance one

#

The one I have has CHD/WH

#

CD is good farm though

lunar nimbus
#

not just what gets you the most exp per activity completion
Now that clears a lot of things

balmy cedar
lunar nimbus
#

Are loot dropped from Challenging differ from Hard or Normal much? Someone said Challenging and Heroic will both drop gold items

balmy cedar
#

well high end only drops in challenging

#

rolls are better in challenging, you have a possibility of getting god rolls

lunar nimbus
#

I see

balmy cedar
#

heroic is better tho

low flame
#

In challenging you are guaranteed to get high ends, gear sets, or exotics. Heroic has higher drop rates for exotics and higher minimum rolls for gear

lunar nimbus
#

Difficulty doesn't affect xp gained from activities, right? Only the directive affect it

balmy cedar
#

I think it does

low flame
#

It does

lunar nimbus
surreal orbit
lament mirage
#

Why dz landmarks a decent alternative

#

No directives n just clearing a 2-3 waves + named enemy n moving on to next

potent condor
#

heroic checkpoints too

#

those seem to give decent exp

lone tinsel
#

Oh boy I can’t wait to be pulsed all the time in DZ with 98.3% Pulse Resistance

Does the assault turret has a range dropoff?

Kek, I just got kicked from Countdown lobby by some 2000+ shd all blue player.

surreal cosmos
#

its the 8t time game crashes today

cloud sage
#

Yeah, I had 3 so far and I've gone weeks without crashing.

surreal cosmos
#

its a tad frustrating

cloud sage
#

Speaking of Countdown, do people ever lfg to get pre-mades for cd farming to make it smoother and most importantly increase chances they get what they need by up to 8 times? I mean, if you form a premade and farm together and everyone looks for what everyone needs and shares.

bitter wraith
#

Countdown should require a tutorial to unlock

#

The amount of noobs not knowing they are host is ridiculous

plain trail
#

they just need to make countdown start automatically once the lobby is filled

cloud sage
#

Or make the game permanently delete one random gear piece you're wearing if you're lead and don't start within reasonable time once it's filled.

#

That would be an incentive to pay attention.

surreal cosmos
#

10 times

#

couldnt get nothing done in the game today

balmy cedar
#

Lmao that would be so bad šŸ˜‚

#

I ran countdown most of the day yesterday and most of them went to shit,

We failed the admin main objective on one cause people weren’t hacking the servers … I don’t think they know that the hack completed faster if multiple people stand on it…

#

You’ll go to help it complete faster and whoever’s there runs off

surreal cosmos
#

yeah i mean if we failed thats okay

#

but the game crashed everytime

#

😦

balmy cedar
#

Want my countdown credits tho 🄲

abstract dew
#

does difficulty affect the stats of gear you find?

wintry grail
#

Is the summit combat mastery merit still not fixed ?

abstract dew
# lament mirage Yep

so should i even try to farm perfect armor/weapons on challenging or just get decent and try heroic

balmy cedar
#

I’d go to heroic and call for backup

#

Pull your weight and you’ll find stuff, but really the stuff you’re looking for can be found in countdown

lament mirage
#

I’d just go for the attributes u looking for

#

Maxed rolls / god rolled gear is only important when u wanna min max ur build

#

Start off doing challenging cd n when u got a decent dps build then hop in heroic

lunar nimbus
#

Can Capacitor and Ravenous One drop in Summit or Count Down?

small spear
#

ravenous is exclusive to iron horse raid

lament mirage
#

Till next season then It’ll be in the dz

#

N capacitor u can get from doing the summit project

lunar nimbus
#

Man, it’s impossible to complete Iron Horse in my region, since no one is cooperating šŸ˜‚

abstract dew
#

i havent even tried to do a raid

lament mirage
#

Wait for next season

lunar nimbus
abstract dew
#

someone told me their first raid took 8 hours so im just gonna wait until i have more than a week of playing šŸ˜‚

low flame
#

Raids today with a coordinated group can take like 15m for dark hours and around 30 for iron horse but it can be even shorter than that

marble pilot
#

if i'm only looking for blueprints, is there a diff between capture points 3 or 4? or do they have the same pool

anyone know where the hunter targeted loot is today? or is it not available right now?

I hope Ubisoft roll out some crash fixes for PC with Season 11, since a lot of people bought it from Steam. On the other hand, crashes has been happening since 2 years ago and they haven’t fixed it, so I don’t think they will.

potent condor
#

but then immediately 3 crashes after that

lunar nimbus
#

I played for 50 hours without crashing, then 4 crashes after 10 minutes in a row

potent condor
#

it's always random

#

and happens with any hardware

#

my pc crashes a few times so does my laptop

cloud sage
#

Lets say it's fortunate they don't develop software for airplanes.

inland minnow
#

That fun moment when you're doing solo heroic missions, almost finish it and bam - crash

potent condor
#

it hasn't crashed during me doing stuff with people though

#

it did that once

#

but most of the other times has been at random moments when i'm just walking around the map doing things

cloud sage
#

For me it's almost exclusively while doing Countdown.

honest siren
#

Is it possible to somehow kill players when you're not in pvp? I was coming out of a mission to the street. I started fighting the PVE enemies. Then I saw a guy that had a huge bag on, Santa hat, and other stuff that looks like a player only would have. Also, a crazy high level 30 named sniper fell on the ground right before I killed him. It has a skin and everything. What happened? My game went non responsive after.

lean wasp

That's a loot goblin

#

Its like event npc

Like an npc pve special enemy?
