If I aim to get 10 shd levels a day, I could reach level 1000 in like 3 months right? I'm 125 rn
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
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
Math says yes, logic says 'only 10 levels in a day? You could do much better than that'. Depends on time spent and how willing you are to farm repetitive content, of course (plus build & gameplay skills). Running convoys on an EP build with most directives will get you those levels pretty quick.
That said, if you can gain 10 levels a day and have more fun in the process, that's worth a lot too.
I could 100% do more, I went up 50 in a day, it's just the repetition.
if you didn't boost and didn't do the recon missions before going to NY then yeah, you're bugged. Not sure of a clear workaround at this point other than finding someone lvl 30 or lower who hasn't done them yet in their game.
Yeah that's fair, always more important to enjoy the journey than rush to the destination
Damn... is Lady Death farmable in the summit?
So consensus is that the boost might be causing a lot of the lockout issues like pentagon, DZ, etc.?
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
and can someone tell me, what settings are good for summit farm? like what difficulty and directivs?
yes, lady death is a always in loot pool exo, so can be farmed with TL, and its even the recommended method for that one, as it can also have a chance of dropping from NY world nameds, but that is considered allot slower
highest you can handle without it slowing you down, for most that is heroic with 4 directives, but if you are going at a snails pace as you havent got a good build yet, then challenging and going faster is better
can you tell me, what a good build would be?
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
Anyone know an effective way for farming max gear mods?
thanks alot.
also here is my recommended build list, the pictures are harder for newer players to use, but you can crossreference with the guides aswell
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-nOwUSECa-1iLhET-mW04u6oMBdIdMjFjB2Ie25ziEA/edit?usp=drive_web&ouid=115779885897834192837
That's sucks. Guess that means I can't fast travel Countdown then
I need to walk to the heli pilot everytime I want to do Countdown sadge
those are million builds š
legendary summit, or when gearmods are on a legendary, its significantly boosts the chances of a max mod, failing that just heroic on gearmod TL
Is there anyway to fix Countdown POI bug if you didn't do DZ recon missions?
whats your favorit Summmit build?
didnt know countdowns map marker was affected by that, but if it isnt there, and you only want to matchmake into a countdown group, you can also use the matchmake tab all the way to the right most tab in the map screen
I saw someone mentioned it in some Reddit post. Sadly, I thought DZ recon missions wasn't related to Count Down, but sadly that wasn't true.
@plush otter Oh yeah, I forgot that feature exists š
you are basically asking me which of my children i like best š
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
Also, how do I change the targeted loot if Countdown POI isn't available?
via summit
Thanks
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 š
To be fair that's probably just Hunters in a nutshell
Hey.. I hope everyone's having a good day so far.
Nah, theyāre easy with a good dps build
U too
Bruh, I need to level up fast, since a lot of people are kicking me for being low level š
Well if ur less then 100 shd u likely donāt have a decent enough build or prob running some random pieces of gear equipped
It's going to be a long grind
Build is more important than shd level
and game knowledge and playstyle are more important than build
Si
too bad that shd doesnt beat game knowledge, or it could be a game of rock paper scissors that way
They all still matter n play a role at the end of the day tho
Yeah, how do you improve game knowledge btw. Just play more ?
Plus if u just cleared wony not long ago n ur shd lvl is pretty low u likely lack that anyway
Hell u lack all 3 just starting out
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
Kinda yea , play more, learn from ur mistakes and take in other / more experienced players knowledge n shit n get familiar with the game n try different builds n all that jazz
Also don't watch YouTube videos.
False
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.
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
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
Well, I started playing in January.
Nice
You play, talk in this chat, make mistakes and... try everything
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
Itās kinda simple tho
When I was filling it up I just wrote out on a piece of paper what I was looking for ā¦
Build videos, yes, avoid them like the plague. But some walk through videos can be helpful
What I've learnt in all my years of gaming is that if you're a regular gamer we take things for granted. Like a lot of things lol
God I remember going "I might as well fill it up, it might be useful once I reach the DLC"
š¤£
the vid in #contest-winners is a pretty good guide for recal
the 9th place one
Yeah. There's a few great ones.
Just... most of them. Man.
"Health damage is good for Pestilence because of the DoT"
oh yeah, there is allot of bad info out there
and its is hard to parse what is and isnt wrong either
Least you havenāt come across a backfire build with 33% chc
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
Is farming supply routes the fastest way for seasonal levels still?
yeah, convoys farming for xp is still the easiest best method for xp
Technologically-speaking, how much more advanced technology is in The Division universe?
Imagine healing HIVE in real life. jesus
it doesnt heal the physical body though. more like repiars body armor. as i understood it
Still; homing darts.
My head canon is that the HIVE shoots nano-bots ( like the one in Terminator ) to repair armor
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
It's just small drone bomb, no? I mean US already has suicide drones
Just not that small, but we're getting there
No, it literally fires off whistling birds from Star Wars lmao
Not -that- small but still, homing projectiles of that size.
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
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
4 words, Intelligent System Analytic Computer, that stuff is pure scifi for the next few decades atleast
We donāt actually know if ISSAC actually exists irl because it would br highest level of opsec anyway
Cortana
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 itās the same(ish)
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
@plush otter u busy?
depends on your next question
Hey RIRI,
Hey Saph
how far along are you already?
Uh Iām 32 ish n havenāt really started it
And to my knowledge anyway the military could have HUD like gear
Did unlock a few safe houses
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
you know, i have about a free 1 and a half hours, sure, ill come boost you, 1 sec as ill swap accounts
K lemme boot up game
Skill mod targeted farming probably
Hey does anyone know what mission has a hunter in it ? I think Coney Island bounty or something.
quick question is the general anderson mission still giving exotics every compleation ?
Coney Island Schaffer manhunt
Thank you bro
is there a list out there that shows all world drop exotics?
Spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice
Yes
I would like to see what directives someone is running when i matchmake for a mission and i join someone else's map
are you sure because a youtube video im watching is saying that all it drops now is the doctor home insead of random exotics
I was just doing it, it drops randoms
ok ill have to try it thank you for the info
Np, lmk if you wanna team up to do it
i could do a few runs just to try it out before my buddy gets online
Pm ur ign
When I finish a main mission why doesn't it no grey out? It still remains active and that's confusing on what I have to do!
does the bulwark gear set have a blueprint?
anyone need a 12% crit damage mod? I got one in the DZ in my bag and already have 9, and around 6 11.9%'s
All Foundry Bulwark and Future Initiative blueprints are exclusively unlocked through playing the Iron Horse raid
Unfortunately you can't share loot with anyone not already in a group with you at the time it was picked up. You can, however, replace one of those 11.9%s
incorrect its in my DZ bag, they can kill me for it
is there like a spreadsheet anywhere that lists what talents/attributes are best/desirable on each gun/gear type?
if you go to #td2-build-advice in the pinned comments there is a spreadsheet of all tallents and attributes and there are some general guides that could help you
Interesting, I just read a reddit post that claims polycarbonate drops more frequently on hard difficulty than challenging or heroic.
Have to test it.
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
š¤¦āāļø so thatās whatās important to you? Audio logs?ā¦. How about they just release to next manhunt on timeā¦. 𤣠šš
I'm a completionist, I like everything looking neat
in a different game, I did 2500 games of capture the flag as a single step to get a trim on my cape
as long as it says [-replay] at the end, you are fine, its a visual bug and you jsut have to ignore it
is there any non-bolt action MMR (not counting high RPM) which doesn't go out of zoom after every single shot?
I just had a stalker hunter appearance I've never seen before
technically true, on lower diffs you have more reds and purple, and they tend to drop more green resources than blue, but i would be curious as to see as there are also less spawns, so you would have to consider it in per hour, and my guess is that it evens out over that, but also heroics also give loot alongside it
literally triggered me as in combat, and walked infront of me (they're was a gate between us)
~~in downtown east?~~federal triangle
Yes it wasā¦we figured it outā¦we had a team of 3 peopleā¦.so we all left the teamā¦.went back to our solo session and tried itā¦and he spawned right awayā¦
yeah
was collecting Chatterbox parts
Yeah good point, there are a few factors to weigh in. I didn't test it yet. I ended up deciding on just grinding out a few SHD levels and pick polycarbonate as reward until I got the amount I need.
yeah, thats a rare one, doesnt trigger often, is a good spook on the first time
got a recording of it, seeing if I can remove audio book I was listening to in the background
can exotics drop from countdown
Yeah, from any mob in there as with any mob anywhere else. I don't think there's a higher likelyhood of exotics dropping just because it's Countdown though.
is there anywhere that has higher drops for them? trying to get that smg you guys told me about earlier..
lady something
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.
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
Actually, I had to go and check and it's not an ATM-thingy. It's actually just a desk with a laptop š
says 3% chance from nyc world bosses. guess i shall look up how to fight world bosses
Itās ⦠okay imo but it fails since it has 2 mod slots
World bosses only spawn one every 30 minutes, just fyi
yeah, as buddha said, they are a thing you can try every 30 mins in between your normal farming, but also that is a average of 1 in 34 kills, so dont expect too much, but if you can slot it in in between TL farming for it, then try that
but TL farm is the better source
im missing one true son from the card deck. any idea whats the best place i could find for it ?
This
keep killing world nameds in dc when you can, if you want to farm for it then keep the time in mind and go after a named every 30 mins, easiest two spawns are south of the WH, and fast travel to federal bunker and head west
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
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
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
lame
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
There is a trick. Just south of the White House there is a boss spawn. If you get close you can see the faction. If itās not the one you want, go back through the gate to the White House, then turn around and check again, a new boss will spawn as long as you donāt disturb them. Rinse and repeat till you see true sons. Even better if you know the name.
Why does countdown always seem to crash after the spec op safeā¦
So each card boss doesnāt have their own area? Theyāre random?
Is the cost/exo cache at least reasonable for running countdowns?
If youāre runnin then one after the other and tryna buy after each time Iād suppose no⦠Iāve been saving my coins to buy in bulk so I donāt have to feel bad about it lol
All I want is the pestilence
Itās easier to get that from targeted loot tbh
The cache will just give you more random things
I mean I can run dozens of targeted loot missions and never see an exotic
Or if I do itās not one I want
You have to farm the boss not the mission
Whichever has LMG targeted loot
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
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 itās outcasts⦠Iād turn it off
Can also farm any boss floor in summit
Literally all of them becides the fog of war impede me
No regen?
That one wouldnāt even affect your farming cause youād not be clearing rooms
Iām running an lmg striker build, no regen makes it more of a pain
Decoy and some other aggro deterrent
I run blinder firefly
Run all red and an AR
no stacking , no loss of dps
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
Wat
If youāre wiping pistolero shouldnāt affect u either I think
yes it does, that why you most run it still, it isnt a real hinderance
Liberty does work
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
I consider armor to be a stat you need when ads are rushing⦠cause if itās constantly breaking (run unbreakable) and thereās no regen then itās just a thing that helps you take more damage
Made a build with something like 2.6m armor⦠no dps it wasnāt good at all š¤£
Can I tune it to make it work? Sure, not gonna waste the resources on it
Well for boss farming either skill build or dps (faster)
I wanted to see how well I could tank damage
Eh, wonāt bother
I have a skill build too
So if itās open world targeted, will bounties work as bosses?
Yas
ok so
I bought the game like 4 days ago and i'm lvl 16, but for some reason i can't do the friend referall thing
is it only available before someone buys the game?
Anything worth buying from the vendor
not this week
gotcha
Tip: google Ruben Alamina for weekly vendor reset website
gotcha, thanks
For it's uses, sure
Thereās a certain amount of time before that actually works
Just got level 40 a few days ago and am level 16 seasons... think I have time to get 85 before the season ends?
I think itās under 2 hrs
Yea they extended it
when does it end now?
If the other person or your character is over 2 hrs played (even just being idle at the White House) it wonāt work
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
Itās buggy af and inconsistent
does ubisoft connect log anyone else out every single time they quit the game? it's so damn annoying
Ubisoft connect has always been useless
Last extension I saw was till this Tuesday. Have you heard something else?ā¦
I get all rewards in the first week of playing anyway
New season isnāt releasing on the 7th
well if it's this Tuesday... i don't really think I'll be able to go from 16 to 85 :/
There is nothing in #news-and-announcements
No I was basing it off that they would probably keep it running till the new season drops
It WAS on Tuesday of this week
Thatās why I said give or take
Iād imagine by the end of the month it does though
āProbablyā is a big assumption with Ubisoft
It was very easy to get to 100
i wanted to get the busy little bee sidearm.. will I not be able to get it if i don't get 85 before the season ends?
it'll be added to general loot pool after
Itās not that good of a sidearm anyway
Itās not that bad to go from that depending on what youāre playing. If you run directives then it will work but it would be a repetitive grind
200% extra weapon damage isn't good?
Itās good.. but likely youāll be marking 3 targets at most
ah
Takes too long plus exposes you to fire
And you won't kill all 10 mobs in 10s anyway
That 200 would probably be best and work in the federal emergency bunker invaded warhound room lol
Those warhounds would go down in 5-10 bullets I imagine š
redid all my characters just so I could get rid of the FPC "perk"
Just run a hardwired jammer, done in 2 pops
FPC?
FPC?
Pistolero sounds intimidating at first, but it's chill af š
I mean enemy drop a lot of ammo from pistol kills anyway
field Proficiency cache
stop the 50% chance of a bonus because half the time its garbo, and secondly its a slow as hell animation that can't be skipped
Iām confused? Iāve gotten quite a lot of decent pieces from field proficiencies.
Now clan caches are another story, nothing but crap from those
yeah but that surprise 50% third item is slow as hell which sucks when your power farming levels
Which directives do you run?
all of them on heroic
Bruh surely this isnāt the most efficient way to do thisā¦
I am new in the game any one to play with me?
@neat sedgeFor some reason, Pistolero makes total assault rifle only 300 rounds?
all depends on the build you use, some people I know will use ND, but I run an all Brand set Regulus build to kill resource convoys which are easy with it
I wish I had friends so I could even get that pistol
One more thing in the game I wonāt ever get š©
you don't need friends, this server has a very active raid community that for the most part welcomes noob new players who are willing to take hard instructions
try launching ubiconnect on its own, and then launch the game from in there, it should stay after you close game after then
and its not even that much of a time investment one raid a week for 5 weeks and you're laughing
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.
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
I mean the enemies are way way tougher. Also, I just learned that everyone is level 40 after WONY POG
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
Roger
Wow, after lvl 40, it's easy to get your inventory full. I never had my inventory full when I grinding campaign
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
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
@neat sedgeAnother question, the equipped mod for skills won't show up in the inventory screen, right?
Fyi don't need to do this. CPS match the global difficulty, so CP 3 is challenging
Yeah, I'm worried that I might accidentally delete the equipped mods
bro i need to know if anyone is at or around floor 60 in summit tho. i feel like no one is around there right now.
mostly just suggest to do the nearby events since its more exp for the new player whilst also making sur if a convoy or other such event nearby gets agro'd to them mid control point they don't end up pinched by challenging level enemies from both sides
Change my global difficulty to Challening and Control Points still not dropping blueprints
it does warn you if there are equipped mods
huh I remember getting blue prints at Challenging level, I could be wrong tho
its been a while haha
Always favorite pieces in loadouts, so you donāt delete the mods too
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.
late response so someone may have already pointed this out, but: you know you can fast travel directly to the heli pilot from the DC map? Little yellow icon next to the white house.
You can do that in NY too
was the player name narcolepticOut?
I always use it for WH fast travel in DC because the distance from the heli pilot to the outside stash & crafting/recal tables is shorter than going to the main entrance and using the inside ones
Just matchmake till you get close. Leave right away if not
Yeah, I know that, but it still more button press than just go to Count Down on the minimap directly. Someone told me to just use the matchmaking tab instead, so it's kinda solved now
Ching1333 or something like that. He was still working on the Manhunt because when I looked at his map there were BT control points he hadn't finished.
Hmm, I need to play on Heroic it seems to make control point drop stuff
sounds good thanks
I do Challenging with four or five directives
Do exotics actually drop inside countdown or do you farm countdown for the points to buy the exotic chests?
both
I must just be unlucky lol
I don't think exotics drop particularly often in countdown itself, but they definitely can
Trying to get the vile mask for my beginner build
Man, at skill tier +5, my assault drone can wipe a Black Tusk Juggernaut in less than 20 seconds
Assault drone seems to be best for solo players 
But can it do that in heroic?!
I did that in Challenging. I might need to try that in heroic
I heard in heroic, revive HIVE is more useful than heal HIVE
when season ends will the raids be gone?
Theyāll stay forever
Skill builds are super strong in general. Couple it with a turret and jts nuts.
Do you prefer turret or drone more?
Drone is easier because it follows you around.
drone also handy for pulling aggro
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.
Yeah Turret + Drone next to a chopper dropping Elites
And you're just smoking a fat one.
Yeah, that's one thing I've considered, since most of the time my drone just fly around with no enemies around
Do you get skill skins through skin cache like other skins?
Nope. Haven't seen any other than the deluxe edition ones
Was doing liberty 4 man heroic mission last night.
Engaged with npcs in the garden before the razorback.once start on the razorback,no enemy npcs appeared at all,only the drones.very odd and it was a breeze clearing it.
How rare are exotic drops in countdown? 22nd run no sign of a potential vile mask lol
Hey guys
Countdown has no bearing on the drop rate
For the ridgways parts. Do I need to complete the floors on a specific difficulty? Or I can farm that shit on any difficulty?
Any
honestly I just started like yesterday afternoon and am already lvl 12 so dont stress there realitivly easy to get through
Used to be the various parts had various difficulties attached to them, but it was changed
@paper phoenix thank you
So I could never see a drop in reality?
IIRC Exotics of any type that aren't locked to Raids have like a 1 or 2% drop rate
Oh wow, this going to take me forever then with my luck
Don't forget to run 30 floors of Summit and do the weekly SHD Requisition project. Each of those nets you an Exo cache.
It's a shame there's not a trading market, I have six Viles sitting in my stash that I've never used
Since you started yesterday, you mean SHD level or campaign level?
I tried with all difficulties and none drop blueprint from control points. I guess I'm going to stick with Challenging then. I thought Heroic drop blueprints
The weekly SHD requisition project is waste of resources. You can just run Countdown for caches instead and earn some resources in the process even.
Blueprints drop from challenging and heroic CPs.
Control points have like 90% of them, the rest are from side quests. You may have all the CPs, check the crafting table
is it possible to get yaahl from like glove allocation or strictly DZ?
Once in a blue moon they will show up at the Clan vendor or even with Cassie
It's only from DZ, so best is target loot gear slot in Dz
theres only cheaters in my dz x.x
Maybe, but an Exo cache in exchange for a few resources is better than no cache
Hi Guys, someone have problem with Ubisoft store ? When i try to shop the credit i cant buy
Sure, if you have an abundance of the resources you need to donate but personally I wouldn't do it. You can have an exotic cache after every other Countdown or so.
That happened to me too but not sure if they just changed the set up. I only had the dogs and razorback.
Sometimes NPCs just don't load
Weird though.
So many hours in the game and this is the first time it has happened
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
do i have to do a certain mission or something to find a d50
Just RNG.
Any people playing The Summit anymore? I assume people just left for Count Down
is there a trailer for season 11yet?
no
How do you level up classes like the Gunner and all those
You have to have the class equipped and it will level up as you level up
Also some activities will give you points to spend on their skills, tho I dont remember which ones
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.
control points
give 1-3
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.
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.
Thank yall!
Do you still get the loot if you failed Countdown?
Yes, you keep everything you managed to pick up.
Iām so scared to log in on Tuesday
Whats the fastest way to get True Sons Material?
is it possible to get a flatline roll from the workbench
whys that
Iām afraid that the new patch might screw up our gear or worse so I planning to not download the first day for now
well have i got good news for you š
Really!?
yeah, any normal talent can be on crafted gear, as long as that gear can have it
I also now have abunch of heartbreaker aswell

I also got an m1a one with strained
bounties are the best farm of those, also for true sons only, lincoln can work as a mission, as it is short enough to compete with bounties
or crafting them if you have the blueprint and some resources
I demand E-cred compensation for this delay!
E cred?
500 E creds in 3 batches should suffice
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
also this as a simple guide : #contest-winners message
anyone has good tanky/dps build with shield?
I wonder if I can incorporate red/blue and yellow in that
chameleon + any armor build does wonders. I currently run strikers + striker bp.
Im looking for some hybrid stuff,like mixing blue red and yellow wherever I can
if your gonna go for heroic I strongly advise against being spread too thin for stats. For challenging or below it can work, but all arounders are in a pretty poor state in this game.
Dual builds are decent tho
ah gotcha
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
but I feel like my damage is not there with that
Pesti dropped in countdown, done for the night. Tomorrow I go back at it
Gotta love dot builds
I've been grinding for a red Closer chestpiece from Uzina, but the ones I find all drop with blues on them
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
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
Yooo I just picked up a ravenous
Nice
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
i wouldn't use striker
if i wasn't using striker chest+backpack
consider a diff build if you really wanna use the perfect spotter talent
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
Also kingbreaker doesnt work super well with striker
Since the rpm is so low that you'll lose stacks pretty fast
hey fellas just picking this game up again after years, is the darkzine still populated or is there other shit that people d nowadays?
3 pcs of Striker gives 15% RoF. Kingbreaker has Perfect Flatline to work with the Linked Laser Pointer and Closer has Perfect Spotter.
yes but the 15% RoF works a bit better on a faster base like a smg or a m4
DZ is gonna get nasty since the new update is putting Eagle Bearer, Bighorn and Ravenous(?) as contaminated drops so you're gonna have people who have never done the raids going in there after them vs. people that'll be griefing for sure.
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
Heartbreaker rocks
rather than constantly fight to maintain stacks like with striker
Could have made it āeb chances are greater if you donāt get hit by seeker mines from buddyā š
āKill boomer with a pistol before he destroys the turretsā
I should clarify, I've never set foot into a raid but I'm aiming to change that
Raids are more fun then DZ I can tell you that lol
Chance at Exotics aside, I'm looking for new experiences in the game. Raids and Legendaries are all that's left.
hey what attachments should I use for smg I heard crit chance dosent really matter on them
do people still play the division 1?
Yes
alot of people consider it better than 2
btw dat suggestion for weapon attachments
Maybe
Anything with crit dmg
And accuracy
@merry scarab are you named after an Everquest expansion?
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
Accuracy only tends to matter if youāre going over 10-15 meters
eh good point
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
so what would you suggest
hey do I need to get the hunters fury mask for builds or nah
you need to get hunters fury mask if you're making hunters fury builds.
Stack crit hit chance mods on your gun. Crit hit damage is worth more on your gear because you can get up to 12%⦠on the gun it only gives you 5% for chd
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
so just put more crit chance?
so I have heartbreaker striker and hunters fury
out of curiosity, why?
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.
are they bad because Endless Hunger & Overwhelming Force are sub par compared to other talents?
yes
that makes so much more sense now, thank you ^^ !
Curious question what mods would you suggest for smg's since you seem to know your stuff
by default have high chc so u dont need as much chc mods as you would any other gun. run chd where applicable.
dont need much handling on a gun thats meant to be used within 5-15 meters
you have to have really bad aim to be requiring that much handling point blank
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
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
Booster hives are your friend if u just wanna point & brrrrrr
Attachments are (mostly) 5% for both, whereas gear mods are 6% chc and 12% chd
its more as a backup panic weapon or just a secondary so when I burn through my ar I can switch to my vector
Am curious, what kind of vector
Thereās 3
theres rarely a scenario where u wont have ammo boxes and will get empty in anything heroic and under
@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
no back up as in enemy is up in my face and my primary is out of ammo
good old switching to your sidearm is faster than reloading
ah
ofc unless your gunner in witch case with the 1 sec and you suddenly get faster reload behind cover
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
Thats why they dead lol
jeez that felt more like a massacre than an actual combat mission
it was either death by the sheriff or death by cleaner
I got a random named gun called test subject
Good weapon if u both fire while using skills. Keep it if it got a good roll
what should I look for
sadly it got health and accuracy
Any stats 75-max?
Also accuracy is not as bad as u think, helps with attachments.
If anything ppl prefer weapon handling or Armor Damage
6.9 ar dmg 10.5 health dmg 4.8 accuracy so no not good
Iirc 15% health & weapon dmg is max sooā¦.. yeah Definitely an F in chat
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.
well atleast I got a classic M1A with a flatline on it
I personally prefer boomerang
cuz even though it is less dmg it makes the ammo management easier
As third stat pretty much the best by far in 99.99% cases (excluding LMGs where it's always on as 2nd stat so you do something else on 3rd) is DTOOC, it overshadows everything else really hugely
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
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)
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
id take rof over dta if you had to not go dttooc
Dam you I was writing that up 𤣠you quick
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
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
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
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?
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
Dunno.. just sucks was really happy with the drop too.
Sadness
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
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
"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
but you didnt miss out on much, the doctors home isnt great, but now that you have the mission, you can use it to farm other exo's, every run you get one exo at the end, just make sure to have a spot next run
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
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?
btw whats the best way to get memento, why didnt you just deconstruct some of your stuff
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
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
You already gots one
well good news
I got heart breaker striker and hunters fury
with multiple diffrent ones for each slot
bassically I horded them
hey guys is the store down atm? I'm trying to buy the season pass but it says the store is not working
You'll need multiple for different slots when ninja bag is hear
Season is almost over
I think that might be intentional, the season is ending in like 1-2 days
it's been saying it's down for me for over a week now though
I assume you mean you have each of those pieces in a slot for your gear
and I can't buy anything else in the last two tabs of the store
If so
It's a bad Idea
No I mean I got more than one for each slot
OH then that's good
I have multiple diffrent striker stuff for my holster mask backpack
and everything else
same deal with heartbreaker and hunters fury witch Im dissapointed has nothing to do with the hunters but is instead about just normal hunters
just checked one of my heartbreaker masks has max armor
That's awesome
so any suggestion on what to do
We gotta go to #td2-build-advice for that
I'll happily help though
alright
remember to feed the skinwalkers in ur backyard daily
so they wont chomp ur butt at night
Thanks for the reminder
did u feed him
No I lost his food
Now he's chomping on my behind
goddamn!
He turning full gremlin
he do be like that
Fr
So we won't be getting season 11 update tomorrow. But will tomorrow be any maintenance break? because i didn't see any news about that however they did had maintenance break last week for extensions only for week.
Nah, since the ādelay postā they havenāt communicated anything else
wtf is wrong with the game its f ing crashing all of a sudden
did u update ur drivers
if not try islc
the delay post from the point i'm seeing... makes me worry that sooner or later we will have bad news
yes i did i do it weekjly
try going back to an old version of the driver
supposedly the new one makes some ppl crash or sum
fuck accidentally donated all materials for expertise
ezclap
Yeah killing other People? š
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. š 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
If I understand the question correctly
You need to finish dlc new york one
I guess it is exotic grade weapons with level 0 written on it
Put those in your stash once you are lvl 40 you will be able to use those
So then I'll be available to equip that. Well, do I've to buy the dlc or it come with the base game?
For now I did it
If you have delux edition than no need to buy it but have standard edition than sorry
You might be able to use after 30 lvl
Lmao! I've standard for sure. š¤£
In what level you're btw?
Open in game store check add-on and check warlord of new york if it says owned than congrats
Well wait until upcoming sale you might be able to get in cheaper
I'll see it! I saw many times you guys are talking about it. It a real deal I guess!

I got whole new york edition pack in $6 back in 2020
I got the whole game for $4 š
Even though after 150 watch level i am still beginner there are people who have 24000 of watch level i don't how long they have been playing but sheeeeh.šš
Form epic?
Mmm... Steam
Oh yeah ubisoft approched steam for the sale last month
Hey is the SteamDeck version working?
I used to play when it came out and want to jump back in
They do this rarely.. cause I think video games sales are frequent in India!
No no these games weren't available in steam this one, grb and many other because up until now they thought they didn't need any money from steam.
They started recently
Hi Guys, someone have problem with Ubisoft store ? When i try to shop the credit i cant buy, i try some payments method but don't work
Only old games of ubisoft were available on steam untill last month
paypal is the way to go
Guys how to level up the thing under the clan in inventory
I saw other players had some higher levels
But mine. Is not moving from 0
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
what are you buying? cuz i tried to buy the 3000 credits one time deal special and it didnt work cuz i had apparently already bought it before OR it expired but its still in the store for some reason
I literally have no idea about theses sales and events. I even don't pay attention to these. I just install whatever game meet my requirements and do casual gaming. Nice reading here!
Yes @broken solstice i want to buy 3000 credits
it may be unavailable
Now i try to buy 1000 credits
still no go?
dang
can you get a screenshot. is there an error message or anything?
bc sometimes it goes thru and you dont get the credits for like 15 minutes
sure but i cant send screenshot here
oh yea
check in pm
oh ok. only suggestion i have left is to restart the pc and start fresh
i try all method, try with browser and change the browser like chrome, mozilla and edge but don't work, try with phone and don't work
Do you reside in Russia?
Italy
i was gonna say based on reading the text in the DM its italy
cuz i recognize a romance language when i see one
thats all i got left. theres probably a thousand reddit threads about it too
Thanks for the help but nothing work for me :S
now try with vpn, i think italian site don't work well
Yeah i mean i know that but is there an actual reason? hehe
Ive been watching some videos and pvp is like dead or smth like that because there is no reason to do it
The only thing i can think of is tyo get loot, but there is 100 better ways to get loot
I'm returning to the game after not playing for almost 2 years. I'm seeing that farming general Anderson mission is the fast way to get exotic drops. Is anyone currently farming it and would like to link up so I can tag along? I'm trying to get the Momento bag
if you'd be on pc i'd donate several those to you
How do you accept or answer back up request on PC? i can never find it š¦
You hold M and it will bring you to the map and then you hold R to accept the backup request
new to the game just playing through the warlords of new york. Can anyone tell me how to unlock the specilizations? Do i need to find the special gun to unlock the new modes?
or do i need to level or get special points to unlock the base class?
If I recall correctly they unlock when reacing level 30 wich you should be since you are in NewYork. Have you tried going to the NPC in Haven that lets you select specialization?
Any tips for building a skill-based build?
3 pc empress
btsu gloves only if you're using a hive as one of the skills
Funny thing is that, as a Tarkov main, this game kinda has the same addiction loop as Tarkov: go some places, kill something, get that loot. The dopamine gained from looting is what makes the game addicting š
i got a dopamine hit from doing my first alt character WONY run and got 2271 scavenging points. but now im even more frugal than usual because im paralyzed by choices of how to spend them
If it was me I'd just use the points as I needed them for whichever material I needed for the moment. Instead of spending it all at once and later realizing I need more of something I ended up getting too little of.
yeah thats what im doing. i splurged on 3 things. maxing out a W&H chest with chc/chd and changeable talent. and a W&H vigilance backpack.. only to come to realize that the armor dmg from 2pc W&H + armor dmg from contractors is not really all that great. and then i maxed out a honey badger with changeable talent and put it to exp lvl 14. the gun is good but i shouldnt have bothered with the W&H just because they were the only 'dps' brand set i didnt have god rolled chest and bag for
Man I can't even do any lfg runs fir ih some they all want ktwds. Like bruh I need to do a run to know what to doš
have you looked into GCrock or The bullet company discords? they're always looking for new raiders
it's a quiet time at the moment, weekday afternoon in EU & morning in US, it'll get busier later
Are multiple characters the best way to increase shade level?
no. playing multiple characters will just slow down your shd level progress on all of them
no, multiple characters are usually just used for gear storage, scavenging points & raid loot
and extra exotic projects each week
Level 1 character to SHD level 1000. After that you can run a new character through WONY , who then will be gifted/copied your 1000 SHD levels , which people typically use for the scavenging on the watch
oh damn
So what's the overall communities feelings on season 11 being postponed?
Are healers still viable in multiplayer PVE?
I'm thinking about building my first build for Drone ( assault ) and HIVE ( healing )
I'm at the point I really believe the devs have absolutely 0 ambition to do work on this game.. every update has been the same old stuff with a new name slapped over it, with tons of bugs š¤£.. not sure why they are ALWAYS delayed. Seems almost intentional tbh
man strikers is stupid fin
Convoys are still best xp/hr?
Yas
Personal opinion - meh. Thereās other games to play if I get absolutely bored.
wish game would stop giving me bosses i already have the card for
atleast this go south of white house method makes it faster
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 itās for the current manhunt. Depending on how fast you think you can go through 100 levels the rewards track might not be worth it.
this š
Ok lol
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.
It'll be awarded retroactively.
Oh ok. Level cap is 30 so I assume it has a seasonal level?
I had to start a new char
Yeah, 1-100.
Oh, so it's just like a battle pass thing. Makes sense
Do everyone get the loot, or they have their own loot drop?
own
Tip question real quick. Should I just scrap everything I get? I have been since you get like no money for stuff anyway and then I have it for when I hit 30 and it makes sense to craft plus the settlement stuff.
I see. I thought it's like other game where the person who gets the loot first keeps it, meaning that people will just race for the loot š
might be like that in dz but i dont know since i dont play dz much
Part of me kinda misses playing games with old school loot system. Shared loot with need/greed and dice roll.
Always a source of confusion, differing opinions of who deserved it more etc. Good entertainment usually.
It that is implemented in TD2, everybody will just play solo š. Imagine Count Down but you don't get the loot, since you're too slow to get the drop
Youād have to finish the dlc
To get access to seasonal content
Yo, I need to get a gameplay video over to Ubi support, how does one go about doing that?
depends, is it just a random video? or a bug report?
Recording of someone straight hacking the game.
not worth the hassle honestly
there are infamous hackers that dont get banned despite countless videos
you could post to yt and tweet @ them
Matter of personal opinion... I would still like this dude put on blast.
Don't waste your time. They do nothing
damn, I just realized Massive hasn't said anything about the Specialization update since the end of 2021 rofl but also : (
That's because it is likely cancelled and they're hoping we forget.
Like Kenly Kollege Nightmare event
That's like, the whole-ass reason that I'd come back since everything is is so "meh". Oh boy, another season of the same stuff with 1-2 tweaked missions!
Freakin Yves just blurting shit out on a call and Massive having to spin up a team to support the game for longer than they'd ever planned.
Someone kick that man out already, he's gonna fuckin run Ubi into the ground.
man if you're having such a negative exp just go play a diff game lol
if i wasnt enjoying something id just stop playing it personally
I had an urge to come back after a break and looked into what changed/was coming. I'm mostly just bummed and expressing disappointment that it feels like there's like 3-4 people working on the game when it deserves so much better.
No hate on them at all, they can't control it.
are you actually joking lol
there's definitely more than 3-4 people working on the game
based on the content that has come out
it's like saying "oh, why doesn't ubisoft just fix the crashes"
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.
shows a extreme lack of understanding
i mean 5 people made valheim so 3-4 people can do a lot
AAA multiplatform development and indie PC development aren't the same : P
valheim is also still a early access
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
the problem is that the monetization is too fair lol
And I'm saying that "something" is underwhelming from my PoV, that's it.
they charge you for wony dlc and for the season pass
its contextual, i haven't spent a penny outside of the box price on release, so i take anything with open arms
but they don't have any of the bullshit gacha stuff; so they really dont have an incentive to pump content
I mean, you can sustain a game on MTX sales and/or the occasional expansion.
underwhelming or not
yeah but why would you
Plenty of other games do it, lol.
in the end, if you're not making money why waste the time
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
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.
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
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.
same for stuff like Warframe
DE only runs Warframe though, and Bungie only runs Destiny 2. They each have other projects, but those are the only actually released games.
that's precisely my point lol
But they're still working on other titles, and otherwise use the same general model (minus Warframe which doesn't sell expansions/DLC)
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
Gah, need another set of striker pieces
I think Im gonna try and make a sniper build. Probably gonna use nemesis
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?
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.
@azure lintel craft the liberty nemisis,and chatterbox
Thanks š
What does the "share item" and the timer mean?
you can give gear to people that were in the party when it dropped until you modify it or until that timer runs out
Ah, I see. I got it from Summit. Thanks
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
Use 4PC hard Wired
yep i done that
trig cripy micro and lucky quest are done
and still missing intel
Hard wired vs Future Initiative?
Should be open then. If everything is at 100%
I want a clear answer from Ubi/Massive about if they're actively working on a fix to the crashing. Now.
You already get that with raids š who need this eb more ⦠we just got oneā¦
Mortar turret vs Assault turret?
Mortar turret needs explosive build
Assault usually
Skill build with mortar turret isn't optimal enough?
Not that Iād say
Youād be using more mortars than neeeded to do damage
More downtime on mortar if thatās the case
So for mortar I should go with Skill/ explosive hybrid?
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.
Had my first free mode Hunter encounter last night
My current mortar build is okay if i can do heroics
Try testing it on legendary
Just joined a random mission, killed one enemy, and then the mission ended
300k exp in five seconds, easiest mission I've ever done
Is Summit a good place to farm SHD level?
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
So which activity is a good place to farm SHD level?
convoys+CP if you need blueprints. convoys if you don't.
Convoys with all directives turn on right?
Yo whatās the best way to get tier 5
Only in a parallell universe where things go as planned and promises are kept I'm afraid.
Ok š was just asking XD
Complete all invaded missions and strongholds
Okie
Iām 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
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
ahh
To clarify, this is just your opinion
Yeah thatās just what I think since the release date of tu17 is definitely not tomorrow
And so theyāll extend the current season
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
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
not just what gets you the most exp per activity completion
Now that clears a lot of things
haha i read this as "Parnell universe"
Are loot dropped from Challenging differ from Hard or Normal much? Someone said Challenging and Heroic will both drop gold items
well high end only drops in challenging
rolls are better in challenging, you have a possibility of getting god rolls
I see
heroic is better tho
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
Difficulty doesn't affect xp gained from activities, right? Only the directive affect it
I think it does
It does
Oh, if that's the case, I'm going for Challenging and 3 directives for now. I'm grinding for SHD levels for my watch, then I'll do Heroic for builds
PMād you xp sheet. But remember, just because itās more xp, doesnāt mean itās the most efficient. Determine what you can do quickly to achieve the best xp per hour.
Why dz landmarks a decent alternative
No directives n just clearing a 2-3 waves + named enemy n moving on to next
Thanks
Oh boy I canāt wait to be pulsed all the time in DZ with 98.3% Pulse Resistance
Does the assault turret has a range dropoff?
probably yes
not a optimal range one as with weapons, but still the accuracy drop off as it misses more the farther away the target is
good luck it took me 2 weeks to farm that ceska backpack
Kek, I just got kicked from Countdown lobby by some 2000+ shd all blue player.
clearly he judged you weren't strong enough to carry him
Yeah I don't know what was up, two others got kicked before me that I didn't see any wrong with their gear for cd.
its the 8t time game crashes today
Yeah, I had 3 so far and I've gone weeks without crashing.
its a tad frustrating
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.
Countdown should require a tutorial to unlock
The amount of noobs not knowing they are host is ridiculous
they just need to make countdown start automatically once the lobby is filled
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.
Lmao that would be so bad š
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 werenāt hacking the servers ⦠I donāt think they know that the hack completed faster if multiple people stand on itā¦
Youāll go to help it complete faster and whoeverās there runs off
Want my countdown credits tho š„²
does difficulty affect the stats of gear you find?
Is the summit combat mastery merit still not fixed ?
Yep
so should i even try to farm perfect armor/weapons on challenging or just get decent and try heroic
Iād go to heroic and call for backup
Pull your weight and youāll find stuff, but really the stuff youāre looking for can be found in countdown
U can
Iād 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
Can Capacitor and Ravenous One drop in Summit or Count Down?
ravenous is exclusive to iron horse raid
Till next season then Itāll be in the dz
N capacitor u can get from doing the summit project
Man, itās impossible to complete Iron Horse in my region, since no one is cooperating š
i havent even tried to do a raid
Wait for next season
It should be in general loot pool, right? I heard Season 11 is coming very soon
someone told me their first raid took 8 hours so im just gonna wait until i have more than a week of playing š
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
if i'm only looking for blueprints, is there a diff between capture points 3 or 4? or do they have the same pool
that is a bit excessive, dh is usually 40 mins with a average group, 25 with a good one, and ih is 1h-ish and 40 mins with a good group, anything over 2 hours would make me leave if that would even happen
Dz loot pool
Why does everyone say this š
My first one the guy running it left to go cook and they just expected everyone to wait around for 2 hrs
No, you can grind cp 3's just aswell.
š
capacitor can drop from summit yes that's where i got it from
Did you get it from completing Summit quests, or just drop from a dead enemy?
idk where i got it from
it showed up on the top of the screen
drop down with list of rewards
Mustāve completed a quest
i got diamond back too
i was in a matchmade group for a mission and i asked and the guy who was in there with me was like level 1500 so i assumed he'd know and mf said like 6-8 hours if first attempt
Ravenous raid only
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 havenāt fixed it, so I donāt think they will.
hunter strike?
i went a 6 hour session with 0 crashes
but then immediately 3 crashes after that
I played for 50 hours without crashing, then 4 crashes after 10 minutes in a row
it's always random
and happens with any hardware
my pc crashes a few times so does my laptop
Lets say it's fortunate they don't develop software for airplanes.
That fun moment when you're doing solo heroic missions, almost finish it and bam - crash
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
For me it's almost exclusively while doing Countdown.
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.
Like an npc pve special enemy?
