[azure lintel]

Is Yr5 separate to DLC?

[lone valve]

I focused mostly on protection from elites rn
I'm at 12%

And a random starting talent

[rough sleet]

yeah yr5 =/= DLC, year 5 is just a seasonal event

[last owl]

I don’t know if I want the random starting one it could be a trash talent it gives you

[azure lintel]

Cause there was talk of manhatten etc, so that's coming later?

[last owl]

I’m going to go for the 4th talent choice now

[manic mantle]

I’m thinking of taking glass cannon for my first exotic talent. But that’ll probably bite me in the ass later on

[pseudo fiber]

I think the rest is better before the 4th talent choice

I didn't see glass cannon once, what is it?

[manic mantle]

35% damage increase. 60% more damage taken

[lone valve]

The dlc that's coming with s4 is in Brooklyn

[rough sleet]

yeah, that's in year 5 season 3 (back to NY content) and 4 (DLC) mostly....so a ways away

[pseudo fiber]

uhm ok, so far the one I really liked was the bullets one forgot its name

Famas and that with no need to reload is crazy

[manic mantle]

Allegro

[lone valve]

Bullet king talent

[manic mantle]

Oh that’s crazy

That and the lady death exotic talent together sounds amazing

[pseudo fiber]

~going for a solo run we'll see how it goes

[stuck sonnet]

chatterbox talent on a vector kinda slays

[pseudo fiber]

noted

[stuck sonnet]

and get like maxed unhinged

and you basically have a chainsaw

[manic mantle]

Unhinged with braced seems great

[pseudo fiber]

did anyone have a bug with the extra skill btw?

when I buy it and go get another skill I don't have the option

[devout hill]

Nemesis just shot a Chem cloud at me (without warning) and 1 Tapped me with it.

Did 5400 on impact and I couldn't get out of it before invulnerability wote off.

[lament mirage]

Ouch

[pseudo fiber]

Damn

[bitter swallow]

so the last tier of season will unlock in 3 months or something?

[pseudo fiber]

Burn sticky bomb or Riot Foam, what do you think?

[devout hill]

The best part is he managed to fire it without the warning symbol or animation.

[manic mantle]

Riot foam will save you for sure

[pseudo fiber]

bet

[manic mantle]

Yea good thing to fall back on if you get a unlucky spawn

[lone valve]

Holo skill has saved my groups ass a couple of times

[manic mantle]

Yea I’m running that right now

Throw it at the start of a wave

[lone valve]

Shield and restorer hive has been the least seen skills for me
I've only seen someone with a shield and it was me

[manic mantle]

Yea haven’t seen those yet either

Just got the reviver hive. I’m sure that’ll be amazing for this mode

[pseudo fiber]

Bullet Hell thats the exotic trait I was talking about

Im gonna use that one again

[manic mantle]

I feel like another credit dump they missed out on was buying attachments

[pseudo fiber]

Bullet Hell is so fun, just shoot without reload is so useful

we need a descend chatr

[cold gull]

descent too hard

[pseudo fiber]

in solo its good

in groups its a bid too much imo

~maybe even Duo is ok

but more then that, its too much

[manic mantle]

Yea with how enclosed It can be. 3-4 would be too much

[scenic vale]

the locked Summit rooms are always right before the elevators, right?

[pseudo fiber]

yes

not each floor tho

[scenic vale]

then I am on a floor missing that room

[shrewd quail]

Ugh I hate seeing meta builds, it seems like no matter what I make there’s always something better than what I have 💀

So my crit build, it’s all red but I don’t wanna be one shot so I swapped the coyotes mask with that one full face blue exotic mask and for the chest I did a blue core red sub cores.

Crit chance sits about 58 and damage at 163, is this viable for more end game stuff compared to more metas? Or should I work with a more meta build and branch off.

My world difficulty I usually keep on heroic

[pseudo fiber]

someone help him I am fighting my life in descent lol

[shrewd quail]

Is there a massive number difference?

[rough sleet]

what floor, should be like floor 3,6,9, 10 is boss...etc. rinse repeat....

[scenic vale]

turns out the box was in the hallway not in a room

[rough sleet]

lol, damn hallways

[tulip sinew]

Depends. Give an example, please

[jolly mural]

Descent in 3-4 men group is unbalanced and painful, machine gunners are owning everyone, even purple snipers are tanky as hell. looks like devs gave up trying to make the mode playble

[tulip sinew]

Like i said: depends. What difficulty you play on, what content etc

[shrewd quail]

I play heroic world difficulty usually

[tulip sinew]

Full red metas work the best like you kill'em before you get killed. So its kinda playstyle involved

[pseudo fiber]

agreed, I am having tons of fun right now as solo

Bullets Hell and strained bruh what a godly combo

[shrewd quail]

Same with the missions and stuff, but I typically run sniper so I think that might be the problem

[tulip sinew]

If you have game awareness like spawns and stuff its easyer with red metas. You can cheez with drone/turret skill build. You can tank/crit also but its slow as hell

[shrewd quail]

I think I’m just so used to one shot headshots that taking more that 4 seconds to kill an enemy feels off

[naive cedar]

Anyone else having crazy low fps on pc after the update?

[tulip sinew]

@shrewd quail

[lone valve]

Only hard rooms are the hard ones tbh
If you choose the others its still piss easy even in a group

[tulip sinew]

Pretty good sniper builds in build channel pinned

[lone valve]

Wait until the special ammo bosses wipe you

[radiant prism]

same for me, am getting stuttering that wasn't there before the update

[jolly mural]

yeah, but its no win situation because Nemesis level is increasing way faster in easier rooms

[lone valve]

Need to balance it out
Has to be a mix of rooms

Don't just do all hard or all easy

[naive cedar]

Hmm. I wonder what’s up. I tried switching my graphic settings and display settings. It won’t fix it.

[bitter swallow]

my dear agents, I am having a hard time finding the FASTEST way to unlock the shared account blueprint lady. What should I do specifically just to unlock her?

[tulip sinew]

Ive been off for some time but i used to snipe with mantis and TOts, chainkiller.

[surreal orbit]

Level 30/WT5 or level 40 after wony, simple

[radiant prism]

as long as you have that vendor for one of your characters then it should be unlocked for the others

[jolly mural]

finish WONY with your second character, go to DC, go inside the white house - she is sitting near the crafting bench

[pseudo fiber]

So far 40% in descend as long as you play it safe, its fun and pretty chill, and careful from those rocket fuckers

[radiant prism]

ah yes, you have to complete level 40/dlc

[bitter swallow]

Soooo it is a MUST to finish New York?

[radiant prism]

I think so

[surreal orbit]

Or level 30/WT5

[bitter swallow]

That is not really fast lol

[bitter swallow]

oh hell no.

[radiant prism]

you should finish the dlc and level 40 anyway, before starting new characters

[bitter swallow]

Isnt there a settlement mission to unlock her? or her unlock is tied to end game mission or something?

[bitter swallow]

I have

My first character is maxed out and I need material inventory space

[surreal orbit]

Simple, create new agent, get to the White House, access store, add-ons, boost to level 30/WT5. Done…. Takes like 7 minutes…

[radiant prism]

don't remember 100% but I think your main character has to buy the share materials blueprint and then your other characters buy the same blueprint, in that order

[bitter swallow]

I can boost (I have the ultimate edition) of the game

[surreal orbit]

So what’s the issue?

[bitter swallow]

I bought the pb with my first character but my 2nd character is lvl 4

[surreal orbit]

Pre wony? Then you can’t buy it yet…

[bitter swallow]

no issue, just trying to find out is there a really fast way to unlock blueprint lady without going through all NYC missions

[surreal orbit]

Just told you how above?….

7 minutes

[bitter swallow]

my 1st character I went normal route no boost. lvl 30 > WT 1 to 5 > NYC then > DC > Season

[surreal orbit]

And?

[bitter swallow]

Yeah gotcha. Go to NYC > Finish it > DC > She is there

[surreal orbit]

NO

[bitter swallow]

oh

[hasty timber]

Did they add new music tracks in Castle?

[surreal orbit]

On 2nd character, go to store, add-ons, boost that character to level 30/WT5, purchase resource sharing from Inaya… done! @bitter swallow

[lone valve]

Yea
Seems like it has its own soundtrack

[pseudo fiber]

I got 167 bullets left and entering arena wish me luck 😢

[manic mantle]

Always have your pistol

[lone valve]

Ur gonna suffer my fate and run out of AR ammo before the nemesis

[spice minnow]

New season pass

[lime fulcrum]

guys is it possible to join back when getting delta?! or is it no?! 😂

[jolly mural]

in Descent? ofc not.

[surreal orbit]

Only if you want the cosmetic stuff. Main rewards track is free with warlords

[lime fulcrum]

i had massive luck there

but it went 💩

[jolly mural]

as always

[bitter swallow]

Done. THANK YOU. Lord of Incarnations.

[surreal orbit]

👍

[bitter swallow]

does resource capacity goes higher if I do the same for 3rd and 4th character?

[pseudo fiber]

survived with 3 bullets lol

onto the next one

[surreal orbit]

No

[bitter swallow]

So it maxes out after 2nd char gets shared bp

[surreal orbit]

Maxes out from day one…. But if one character has full resources, and another has full resources, when you purchase the share option, the inventories will combine and surpass the max capacity

Otherwise 9999 in max capacity

[bitter swallow]

I see. And it does not goes beyond 2nd character

[bitter swallow]

2nd char makes that 9999 to be 2x? (almost 20K)

[surreal orbit]

NO

[bitter swallow]

so the cap is 9999 no matter what the only thing is that those resources are shared

[azure lintel]

hey is there anyway you could still get the ninja backpack?

[bitter swallow]

I think blueprint lady sells the bp for it

[azure lintel]

where at

[bitter swallow]

White house

cant remember the name exactly, IIyana

[pseudo fiber]

this game mode is fucking bullshit I am done

the fucking AI did not peak for like 3 minutes, the second I peak he peaks as well and 1 taps me, why there are so many fucking snipers

[jolly mural]

yeah, the mode will be dead after couple of weeks

[surreal orbit]

9999 is max capacity. But if one character has 6000 steel and another character has 5000 steel (before buying share option) then when yo buy the share option they will combine to 11000 steel. Once you use 1001 steel, your back to 9999 cap

[surreal orbit]

🤦‍♂️ she sells a reconfiguration blueprint once you actually have it. You can’t craft ninja backpack….

[bitter swallow]

ouch.. so it is a temp thing. no point of making 2nd char for more storage

[pseudo fiber]

wanna duo on that? lol

[jolly mural]

just farm targeted BP loot

[bitter swallow]

sorry I just saw the backpack on a glimpse and bought it then switched to 2nd char (I was doing season when servers went offline so I dont know if I hit the rank to get the ninja)

[surreal orbit]

You get all the extra backpack space for gear and guns…

[chilly forge]

I just got a set mask TODO: GearSet Q Mask ?

[jolly mural]

nope, im tired after the whole day of that mode, need a break 😄

[surreal orbit]

When last season ended it was added to the general loot pool…

[bitter swallow]

umm if char A has 100 backpack space for guns and gear and u have 2nd char then it becomes 200?

[slow steppe]

Shade tech is coming rlly fast with the new mode

[jolly mural]

its first 20 lvls x2 XP...

[surreal orbit]

This is getting difficult… each character has 150 spaces, for a total of 300, but they do not combine….

[bitter swallow]

On a beautiful sunny day with spring breeze Buddha was enjoy his tea when Neo started asking so many dumb question then @slow steppe entered the room

[manic mantle]

Doing this on my hardcore character I’m leveling is nice. Getting a good 2 or so levels on a good descent run. No danger to the character is nice

[surreal orbit]

15 levels

[jolly mural]

roger that

[bitter swallow]

Sorry, just trying to wrap my head around this. I have watched so many wrong or outdated video guides on this that makes me get confused thats all

[jolly mural]

shd gain in Descent is miserable btw

[bitter swallow]

Guide for Division 2 on YouTube is like a damn Swamp

[surreal orbit]

Recommend you avoid YouTube as much as possible

[rough sleet]

imagine if a youtuber just made div2 videos that were tutorials/walkthroughs for the game basics and functions (not build guides, or gameplay vids, or anything, or bait of sorts) lol

[bitter swallow]

yeah I figured that out after watching a metric ton of clickbaty vidz ugh

Since the game is kinda mathematically oriented adventure it can easily be exploited to confuse new players

[pseudo fiber]

"so today guys I am gonna teach you how to play The Division, thank you for watching"

[rough sleet]

"Today we are going to walk through the basic functions and uses of the recal table, step by step instructions on how to use it properly" since i hear that one requested alot....

[pseudo fiber]

adds earrape music outro

[bitter swallow]

that part is the WORST

I actually hover my mouse over the buffer line before video loads just so that I can skip 5 mins forward lol

[twilit stirrup]

I saw the Raodmap of The Manhunt ´´New Content´´ .......

[surreal orbit]

Also, since resource boxes refill on daily reset ( per character). You can run resource routes with all 4 characters and quadruple your daily efforts.

[pseudo fiber]

same 🤣

[bitter wraith]

Ran out of load out space 💥

[pseudo fiber]

anyone wanna hop on to descent? I wanna try it with Duos

[scenic vale]

are weapons capped at certain DPS or does a heroic have more DPS than the identical normal version?

[bitter swallow]

now I get the actual benefit. So if all 4 char has 9999 of mats then I use all with the 1st char then I can use the 9999 of the 2nd char then 3rd and 4th then do farm route to replenish

[strong owl]

has anyone got bugged with free "Doctor Home" Weapon ? i bought a blueprint and didnt recieve that wtf

[radiant prism]

there's no cap on your total dmg output

[jolly mural]

you dont recieve a gun bying a blueprint

[surreal orbit]

Based on your build (weapons damage, gun specific damage like AR, etc.) and quality (max rolls) of the gun

[strong owl]

i got it free compensation, went to inaya and buy blueprint, i go workbench and didnt see anything

[pseudo fiber]

wait what free compensation

[surreal orbit]

That’s just a reconfiguration blueprint, need the actual gun to use it…

[bitter swallow]

After lvl 40 the gun will always have the same DPS no matter if you get it on Normal difficulty or Legendary? or higher difficulty will drop high damage weapons of the same type?

[strong owl]

I dismantled that, bc i thought i could craft another new one

[surreal orbit]

Oops

[dusty crane]

why haven’t they gotten rid of collecting endless mods yet and just let us recalibrate them

would allow for a lot more storage space

[rough sleet]

the minimum and maximum rolls are the same so they (when completely maxed out) are the same in every way if they have the same attributes/talents.

[pseudo fiber]

YES seriously

[dusty crane]

sitting here trying to clean out my stash and realizing i’m a hoarder

[bitter swallow]

so difficulty is only to challenge urself and nothing more

[dusty crane]

but i don’t need these MODS

[pseudo fiber]

relatable

[olive tinsel]

well its safe to say the hard lock crashing is not fixed

[bitter swallow]

I wonder how can you cope with the same build with OVERPOWERED enemies of Legendary diff

[rough sleet]

difficulty will affect the minimum ROLL, but doesn't limit the weapon itself from being optimzied/recal to it's full potential either way. just what the numbers are when obtained/looted.

[surreal orbit]

You also get better rolled gear, higher attribute percentage… ie best to farm on the higher difficulties

[rough sleet]

exaggerated example: you farm for m4s in normal, minimum roll allowed is 5% (could drop higher) and max is 15%. in heroic the minimum roll might be 8% (could still drop higher, and max is still 15%.

[bitter swallow]

ahh! if you get a gear with 10K Armor Regen on normal (while that gear max Armor regen is 50K) means you have a higher chance of getting the maxed out gear on higher difficulties

[surreal orbit]

minimum average rolls on an item go up by 20% with each difficulty level (0% on normal to 80% on legendary)
From another channel

[halcyon fog]

so im in descent and after thje arena it brings me back to the lobby and asks me to pick a new weapon/skill but all I can pick is weapons, how do I pick a skill?

[bitter swallow]

Got it. Thanks for all the tips and fine print information guys. I really appreciate it 💖

[scenic vale]

I am using an M60 right now that says it is 120k damage, it is high-end. Would that same weapon have more damage if it was heroir?

heroic

[bitter swallow]

I realized I made a far better 2nd char than 1st and want to play as her lol

[elfin pine]

It's in the same menu where you choose weapon. You just need to 'switch' to skills in this menu, if I remember correctly its in the right upper corner

[halcyon fog]

ok ill try next time

[bitter swallow]

Div 2 character creation is so horrible

[manic mantle]

Does anyone else feel like descent would’ve been a great way to use Div 1 mission areas as places. Would’ve been a cool throwback.

[halcyon fog]

wait I did 4 loops and all I got was a 2-high end cache?

i get more loot accidentally elsewhere

[surreal orbit]

Never mind…

[unborn barn]

Game working?

[radiant prism]

for the most part, yes, it's working. It's more stuttery/laggy today than usual

[unborn barn]

K i won’t reinstall game till gear 3.0 comes out

Thanks @radiant prism

[twilit stirrup]

😂😂 3.0 I feel that but dude it will never happen, I saw the Manhunt Targets and it´s alle the same just twistet ´´New Conten´´ XP re-work no Spec re-work no word about ETF and PVP.

Just leave it....

[drowsy folio]

can someone explain me at begining i was getting the double xp with all diractives while doing cp now im just getting base xp why is that ??

[surreal orbit]

Manhunt reward for the first 15 levels. Will happen again when the next manhunt target is released

[drowsy folio]

understood but no double xp from directive ?

[surreal orbit]

Directives give 25-125% increases depending on number of directives activated

[twilit stirrup]

they just increases the XP

[lofty ruin]

Global Directives this Season are good. Thank God scaviging skills and special ammo is gone.

[balmy cedar]

What are the new ones?

[viscid cargo]

yoo did they allow us to stop/continue descent mid run now?

[lofty ruin]

ammo horders, cool skills, ragers, fragile armor and fow

[balmy cedar]

Eewww

Fragile

Ragers and ammo sound cool

Thank god pistolero is gone

[lofty ruin]

fragile will forever be bugged

[silent nymph]

can someone explain to me the role's of each civillian that are taken hostage by the black tusk here cause all i know about Johny and Mary here

[brittle copper]

I love how I help these civilians against Black Tusk and when I deploy the shield one of them goes "How about you fight without that shield!"

Like damn... gettin' roasted by the civvies now too

[lone valve]

Funny enough I ran special ammo everyday on open world and missions

That and fog of war

[mint sonnet]

anybody else having issues with the apparel / emotes screens ?

[lofty ruin]

low fps? yeah I saw it being reported

[lone valve]

Even on console that's happening yes

[lofty ruin]

all platforms

[mint sonnet]

noted, then it's not just me, great thank you both!

[lone valve]

I just saw one of the areas that is waiting to be rebuilt in the castle is a shooting range

Castle is gonna be BOO number 2

[lofty ruin]

yeah its basically has all the functions of the white house i guess, even has the Barber shop

[lone valve]

Don't know if it'll have the social hub tho

[lofty ruin]

has a pet the dog thing also

[sudden totem]

yall know battlebit remastered?

shit go hard bro yall go play it fr

[lime fulcrum]

when you buy buffs with NSA points are they perm?

[oblique peak]

They need to pump up some of these xp changes they are lackluster

[lofty ruin]

I think with XP its best doing things in a group now

[bitter swallow]

someone suggested to mark unwanted gear and weapon and donate to specialization. How to do that? I mean where is this special donation area

[lofty ruin]

You mean donate towards Proficiency ?

[bitter swallow]

I am not sure. she suggested to do that instead of decon or selling them claiming that is the best use of unwanted gears

[lofty ruin]

hmmm dunno. But if you are new to the game I would donate weapons and gear to populate the recalibration station so that talents and attributes are fully maxed out

[summer sparrow]

I just started Warlords of NY... should I be throwing out all my level 30 gear once I hit 40?

[gaunt harbor]

yes. It’s useless.

[brittle copper]

Yeah, garbage that stuff

[summer sparrow]

What about exotics?

[lofty ruin]

keep exotics for components but chuck everything

[near rivet]

So how long is Descent?

[bitter swallow]

How should I do that?

[olive tinsel]

do you have a recalibration station in the same room as your crafting table in the main base?

[bitter swallow]

Cal station > Expertise > donate Mats > Decon extra gear for more mats > donate mats > repeat?

[summer sparrow]

Double XP day is great for people who started WONY today.

[lofty ruin]

If in Whitehouse go to either of the recalibration stations and donate. Hard to explain cos you can't post pics here

[bitter swallow]

check #ask-td2-community

[pliant juniper]

Is the only PvP mode quick play or do others unlock?

[mint plaza]

other game get double xp weekends, how come we get such a limited amount

[fair lake]

Always has been like that

[frigid pawn]

anybody know why the manhunt bounty says leave mission area

im in boo and still cant start

[halcyon fog]

descent rewards make it pointless to do

just spent an hour in there, got nothing

garbage mode

and its super slow

waste of time

[ebon steeple]

Did u do the side quest right side of that area? That was preventing me from doing the manhunt

[short coyote]

Anyone buy rewards track and not get the credits

[lofty ruin]

Yup takes double the time compared to PTS to reach the Nemesis now and the rewards are garbage. Im just doing it for the patch and wont touch it ever again

[halcyon fog]

more ubisoft failure

[brittle copper]

This season grind ain't going too bad. At Season Rank 35 atm, where are y'all at?

[lofty ruin]

55 and called it a day

[brittle copper]

Damn nice, more than halfway in the first day

[halcyon fog]

i usually wait to grind for the apparel events

[lofty ruin]

Yeah I will complete it tomorrow now I have all the Control Points unlocked and hit the Supply Drops and some Public Executions

[brittle copper]

Nice, working on making my map all green from red as well. Hopefully that gets me to 50 or so at least for the day

[wild gate]

the more I think and play is how badly implemented these xp changes are

[broken plume]

I thought Cavalier was only gonna reduce skill damage

[lofty ruin]

Yeah man, they made it kind of tedious doing XP farming solo. I would do it in a group of 2-3 max to get the best out of your time, have one person foaming the NPCs at their spawn so they dont scatter like flies

[brittle copper]

Damn... been going solo all this time. Could farming really have been so easy all along?

[lofty ruin]

nah if you enjoy playing solo keep doing it, just that its easier to farm XP in a group with the changes. 35 is great progress!

[plain ermine]

Hey, i never unlocked the ninjabike backpack in the rewards track, will it be in my loot pool now or is there something i need to do first?

[broken plume]

Ye

[brittle copper]

Appreciate the advice though! I'll probably try to make some friends at some point who're down to farm Heroic quick. At the rate I'm going I should hit 100 by tomorrow or the day after at the latest anyways

[pliant juniper]

im doing heroic all directives world if you want in

[brittle copper]

Some of those directives are a bit too hardcore for me (the ammo one and fragile) 😅

I'm down to join up, what's your ubisoft username? I've been running Heroic with Ragers and Cooldown so far myself

[errant oar]

Sad to see calv with solid bonuses only to watch it nerfed later.

[karmic dust]

If I fired up Division 2 via Ubisoft, would it be better or worse or the same as Steam? Love the game. Haven’t played in a couple years, but want to jump back into it. Would love maybe a voice chat with some people to just get back in the swing of things. I was a full blown medic. Had some offense but was always trying to keep teammates alive

[torpid plume]

No that's just stupid buying levels

[solar kite]

what will the field recon data do whe i claim it

[ocean lagoon]

wnat are the req to go to decent

[full zinc]

Go in your mat inventory

[torpid plume]

Not crashing

[solar kite]

im asking what the fuck it dose

[full zinc]

I guess you'll figure that out 🤣

[sturdy cape]

it's a crafting material used in optimisation

[small spear]

you could be nicer you know

[full zinc]

Lol, always a couple eh

[small spear]

there was a dude months ago that asked me something but i said something tangentially related, they were like "i'm here to get my questions answered, not get tangled up in your thoughts" like bruh, i answered for free

[sturdy cape]

sounds like a reasonable response tbh lol

[small spear]

i answered his question and added some clarifying notes

[full zinc]

Yup, fuck ppl like that

[small spear]

yes, but they could be nicer

it doesn't cost anything

[bitter wraith]

How to leave descent?

[lean cosmos]

When ever i meet a rude person i always answer with lies

[proud swan]

random question, anyone else having a problem where the stovepipe reward outfit gets stuck to random piece of gear

[sturdy cape]

using the misdeeds of others to justify your own is a slippery slope

[full zinc]

Alt+f4 /s

[cold shoal]

Resistance is futile

[proud swan]

like it randomly started applying to my ridgeway exotic

[bitter wraith]

Seems legit

[full zinc]

I just flip a switch and think nope, better things to do than deal with dbag

[full zinc]

I legit havent tried it or I might know

[lean cosmos]

That to sometimes.

[plush yew]

Hi How I can enter in the beta_

[hasty timber]

So it looks like the Season 11 blueprints were just entirely removed?

[devout island]

log out

[bitter wraith]

Yh

[devout island]

D:

[vocal kite]

groot

[plush yew]

heartland

[proud swan]

either log out or finish a loop and you can press the "Exit to dc" button in the lobby before you get to pick your weapon or skill

[full zinc]

Yeah some of the transmog stuff been doing that. Bags too. Maybe select another chest remove any transmog and put ridgeways on again

[proud swan]

i did its affecting every chest piece

everything is stovepipe now, i removed stovepipe augment from the original one and its still happening too

[full zinc]

Try putting a regular gear and regular transmog. Then another , then go back to ridgeways.
Relog might also fix but unsure what causes

No apparel transmog

Just like the high end stuff

[proud swan]

had to take off my gear and switch back to ridge and back to a normal and now it works

what a dumb bug

[full zinc]

Yeah it's real funky. I just been ignoring

I usually have that skeletal bag over my memento 🤣

[ocean lagoon]

pain i didnt get what you meant but once i figured out you just fast travel there i crashed

[tranquil marsh]

nemesis is fun solo :P

[wintry star]

what happened to the rogue agents? they are weak like a purple enemy. half a mag is enough to kill them.

[tranquil marsh]

get insta riot foamed then oneshot 😄

[ocean lagoon]

does match making for decent actually find other peeps or is it a waste of time

[bitter wraith]

Servers going down. 57 min??

[brittle copper]

What?

[bitter wraith]

Bottom of screen server restarting in 55:48

[lone valve]

Yes it finds others

[brittle copper]

Not for me

[bitter wraith]

Huh weird

[wintry star]

PC is fine ^^ maybe they forgot to reimplement the crashes, so thats why they need to restart XBOX servers

[ocean lagoon]

real

[bitter wraith]

Lol

[pseudo fiber]

bruhhhh I am doing duo and I keep getting 1 tapped by a sniper on descent

[outer garnet]

10 crashes in countdown in less then 2 hours every update there a bew several bugs no weapon reloads ghost rouges u cant pick up loot and more game will never change 🤣 and dont even start with the new mode desend i am wondering how people already have the new exotic since that mode is a mess

[outer garnet]

unfortunatly that mode is bugged i bact even finish it

[pseudo fiber]

Yeah me and the guy I am playing with we reached to 60% furthest

[hot lily]

im on 7 in the last 2 hours.. its getting worse and worse

[outer garnet]

i cant get past 5 loop or whatever it is 😥

[hot lily]

i keep crashing right before extraction, so im kinda done with that whole gamemode

[outer garnet]

for me i am done with the whole game for now as not gonna waste my weekend after a weeks work

[north bobcat]

havent experienced any crashes yet just descent making my camera movement extremely stuttery

also skins dont seem to work on my lefty shotgun?

[lone valve]

I like how descent has raid revive tokens
Gives it a bit more challenge

[lofty ruin]

The devs have no idea how to fix the crashes. PTS members made it clear they needed a reconnect mode similar to Raid otherwise Countdown may aswell be called Crashdown. Then devs said in Agent Briefing they wont add because it doesn't fit in the whole spirit of the game mode. Honestly, they have no idea what they are doing. As for Countdown how they haven't fixed the disconnects when people open the final box is also stupid, been going on for months.

[lofty ruin]

That was in the PTS, nothing new

[outer garnet]

it was actully worse when it came out they fixed it a little then boom its back full on 😥 i just dont get why they cant seem to fix the game

[hot lily]

Oof.. Glad i missed the start then

[outer garnet]

i go finish my nms expedition then probably play scum or icarus

[outer garnet]

u couldnt even start countdown or crash at the end it was that bad but anyway have a good evening as here its 1 in morning already 🙂

[pliant juniper]

What are y’all doin for xp now?

[hasty timber]

Did they remove the season 11 blueprints? I don’t even see them at the crafting station now

[plush whale]

rescues airdrops

[rare vapor]

[lone valve]

Whatever activity is closest

[bitter wraith]

TODO gearset Q holster 0 armor...what

Removed item??

[torpid vapor]

lmao what the hell is that bullshit spike in difficulty with the nemesis

[sturdy cape]

sounds more like place-holder text

[bitter wraith]

So there's no item?

[sturdy cape]

where are you seeing this?

[broken lily]

Have the off white keys been fixed?

[bitter wraith]

Dz item

Picked it up

[burnt turtle]

Fuck around and find out

[torpid vapor]

I'm not a super hardcore player here, I guess I am not the target audience

I went 6 loops, not taking anything less than medium rooms, and got smashed in 2 minutes vs the nemesis in a group of 4

"balanced" game mode uh huh

[burnt turtle]

Probs fucked scaling

[azure lintel]

I'm having the same crash as 3 years ago. There a control point just north of The Castle, and when I take control point over, the game crashes to desktop and can't open the orange crate when I log back into game

[burnt turtle]

I havent done 4 man only solo so far

[keen osprey]

Hi the cavelier set says incoming damage in game. It was stated to be skill damage. Whats the correct function in game?

[undone timber]

Skill damage I'm fairly sure

[rough sleet]

skill damage, the text is wrong

[keen osprey]

Thanks both

[torpid vapor]

I guess I'll try solo, but that was pretty disheartening to just not have any problems in difficulty up til then and just die

[burnt turtle]

Solo stats getting dicey on 6 if you dont have the dps

[keen osprey]

Same happened us. We were pretty beefy in terms of damage armour ans talents and then the difficulty ramps up like 500%

[burnt turtle]

I stg

I havent seen a shield skill at all yet

[keen osprey]

I dont believe they exisf

[burnt turtle]

Assault turret ive seen once

Havent seen striker drone at all either

No cluster seeker either

[hot lily]

Lol ye same here. Good night

[torpid vapor]

I had striker drone in my run that failed, nemesis shot it down immediately lol

[burnt turtle]

Kek

You could probably just instakill it by stacking plague then swapping to sniper

[torpid vapor]

idk, I was kinda excited for descent but nah it feels pretty imbalanced if the "boss" is only for the hardcore to kill it

[burnt turtle]

Nemesis wack

Reskinned Hunter

[oblique peak]

@burnt turtle Descent is wack

[burnt turtle]

Should have unlimited talent slots ong

[broken plume]

Has anyone gotten a shield in Descent?

[oblique peak]

@burnt turtle They should have just added more to NY instead wasting resources on descent

[bitter wraith]

What the best modifications for descemt

[broken plume]

I keep getting Vanguard as a talent option, but I've never seen a shield as a skill option

[burnt turtle]

The ones you can get

[torpid vapor]

I saw 2 shield skills so far, get vanguard on every blue talent option lol

[gaunt harbor]

do you get xp towards season level for playing decent?

[torpid vapor]

need to change the weight on Vanguard lmao

[burnt turtle]

Only blues i ever get is adren and preservation or shit i dont care about i stg

[burnt turtle]

Fuck all xp

[celest marten]

Are the NSA Tech upgrades permanent for every Descent run after buying it? or just the immediate next one?

[burnt turtle]

Every

[torpid vapor]

nemesis scaling is fucked, idk if I wanna go back in

[solemn anvil]

Is anyone else getting the Target Unavailable for the new manhunt vounties?

[rough sleet]

do you have a side mission incomplete on ur map?

[solemn anvil]

Like which one?

[oblique peak]

@azure lintel Are you sure you are not still getting the bonus event XP

[celest marten]

I'm still trying to figure out if Solo is "easier" to handle than a random group

[full zinc]

Are you on first 15 levels of season, first 15 are double xp

[cinder cloud]

rogue agents weak now

[rough sleet]

any but mostly the rayburn house

[azure lintel]

guys can i ask a question here?

[cinder cloud]

hunters > rogues

[burnt turtle]

If you can keep up with dps and spawns probably

[solemn anvil]

I still have to do Rayburn House. I haven't done it yet.

[rough sleet]

that's why....

[solemn anvil]

Been leaving that shit alone since day 1 lol

[oblique peak]

@full zinc They have to be pretty sure it's only 800k XP

[rough sleet]

and now comes the day that u can't progress without doing it, lol

[torpid plume]

New favorite thing to do, Go to public execution and watch one of the hostages get executed before saving the other one 😂

[bitter wraith]

What can I do with placeholders

[solemn anvil]

Damn you Ubisoft and making me do these missions XD

[bitter wraith]

Relatable

[torpid vapor]

nothing, unless/until they fix it

[bitter wraith]

Lol

I'll kept it then

[torpid plume]

You hold them in place

[bitter wraith]

Yes

[plush whale]

why when i go from damage to burn duration i get negative dmg ?

[torpid plume]

I hate those fxckers 😂

[sturdy cape]

very strange, no idea

[bitter wraith]

Maybe it was system corruption its a gear set item

[gaunt harbor]

so do you get season xp from descent or no?

[plush whale]

u get

[gaunt harbor]

cuz if not im not playing

[plush whale]

its even in the project

[sharp nexus]

Where do I debrief for this season’s manhunts?

[plush whale]

castle

[bitter wraith]

How you get cahes in descent?

caches

[plush whale]

u have to finish arenas or get to the biggest number

[gaunt harbor]

if you survive the loop and exit to DC do you lose progress?

[burnt turtle]

Weekly project

Apart from that you get nothing

[bitter wraith]

Ok

[burnt turtle]

Probably

[pliant juniper]

where are these at? havent seen any

[lethal dome]

I believe so

[plush whale]

damn u too ? i swear like 4 hours ago i had full map of them i even show them to kirra

[sturdy dragon]

@gaunt harbor Yes, Descent is oneshot.

[gaunt harbor]

so dumb

is the decent xp even worth doing it

[plush whale]

yup

[gaunt harbor]

ok

[plush whale]

i did 15 season lvls in one run

didnt even kill him

[gaunt harbor]

well the first 15 are double xp

im on loop 12

[plush whale]

im season lvl 55

i did it when i was 37

[gaunt harbor]

oh nice

[still granite]

has anyone noticed a difficulty increased after defeating nemesis? because I did not

[torpid plume]

Meanwhile people out here paying over $100 for season levels 😂

[still granite]

Like it did not get much harder after nemesis

[celest marten]

jesus, the descent scaling...

how the hell do they expect people to do a weekly nemesis?

[still granite]

Its hard but you can do it...

[gaunt harbor]

hows it hard?

[plush whale]

npcs

[plush whale]

the nemesis is u but better

[gaunt harbor]

he was a easy dub

[plush whale]

u did it solo ?

u asked like few minutes ago if the descent is worth playing

[still granite]

Was not that hard for me neither, but I had an op build... and it was still not trivial, they could instantly kill me.
I did duo

[gaunt harbor]

im mid descent rn

[celest marten]

It's random, so it can (and most likely will) f you over

[gaunt harbor]

and yes I did it solo, it's just boring.

[plush whale]

then u aint at the end the before fight is easy

[gaunt harbor]

im on loop 13, defeated nemesis...

[torpid plume]

It's just another pointless thing to do

[celest marten]

Seems like a dumb thing to put story behind... unless the story is just as dumb to care about 🙂

[plush whale]

i mean the end of story is || we kill rogue agent wow 🤩 ||

[celest marten]

They put 16 comms behind the new weekly project....

[spring hare]

descent in a random matchmake group nemesis is impossible be warned

[celest marten]

That's what I was referring to

[plush whale]

well

but there will be dlc

new

[torpid plume]

Oh well in that case I'm going to do it

[pastel zealot]

Guys, where do you spend NSA tech? in PTS there was a laptop at entrance, but now in live version there isnt anything at the entrance, and the Descent entrance itself in Castle even dont work for me. i can access Descent only from map

[spring hare]

there is a laptop in the physical descent location to the right of the door

[celest marten]

Good (f**king) luck

[pastel zealot]

only entrance i see is in Castle, where i get teleported after exiting Descent. i dont see any Descent symbol on DC map itself liek it was in PTS

[spring hare]

press M and look to the right of white house

[lean fog]

Anyone else have issues with prophet's perfect determined talent? Its not chain proccing for me like the patch said it would

Allows to chain multiple headshots by using the Talent's buff.

[plush whale]

are u hitting heads?

[lean fog]

First shot yes

[plush whale]

then idk

[lean fog]

Only need the first shot to be hs kill then subsequent body shots will be counted as hs kill

[gaunt harbor]

what can you buy with NSA?

[rich dagger]

i was doing the four hunters in NY but two of them despawned wut do i do to fix this?

[pastel zealot]

i think i knwo where you mean. but all i see is 2 Shopping cart icons.
does it show the green icon for you, like in PTS? and can you teleport to it?

[lean fog]

But now its working like the post nerf - it resets the buff

[torpid plume]

Has to be re done unfortunately

[spring hare]

yes . maybe you can try teleporting to the thing next to countdown and then it teleports you there? or go white house-descent- then exit and it puts you next to the white house one possibly?

[rich dagger]

the whole process?

[pastel zealot]

i played Manhunt, Descent, relogged, Descent again.
still no green icon for me

but i will manually walk there now

icon right to Countdown is only place on map i see Descent

[heavy folio]

how do i even win a loop in Descent

[burnt turtle]

Its outside the white house

[heavy folio]

any recommend buff loadout?

[celest marten]

Die, repeat, die, repeat, die, repeat, die, repeat, ....

[burnt turtle]

Pretty much all dps 🗿

[heavy folio]

you mean 100% Offensive talent?

[burnt turtle]

All red traits and hope adren plus reservation can tank

[pastel zealot]

@spring hare thanks. i had to manually got there. now it shows up on a map finaly

[celest marten]

The only good things I can see about Descent are 1) The random builds can be very cool. Until you get f'd over with a misclick. 2) XP farming can now done trying to grind out Descent, which is at least more novel than convoys for the millionth time

[sour river]

Descent has been really fun so far

[burnt turtle]

Yep

Thats ammo hoarders for you

[spring hare]

pistoleer is maybe doable if you have good pistol

but damn ammo hoarders is painful

[burnt turtle]

Tldr just use regu

You hit an ammo box 🗿

[sinful kraken]

how do i start the brief mission this season?

[burnt turtle]

Ecks dee

[spring hare]

i would rather find 7 people that have regulus to target loot pistol on countdown to share than grind it normal way

[torn light]

hello is it worth to buy td2 for pvp?

[foggy cape]

pvp sucks ass in d2

[sturdy cape]

worth is always subjective, for me it'd be a big no, pvp gameplay is bad and the toxicity is awful

[torn light]

damn i mean what i see is ok

[spring hare]

the chat in game is horrible there is absolutely no moderation

[sturdy cape]

there are definitely people that really like pvp tho

[full zinc]

Gunner class will give ammo regularly as 1 of the perks

[torpid plume]

Ongoing directive = unlimited ammo

[dusty crane]

the survivalist pistol got me through that a few times

[plush whale]

i just found out heartbraker kneepads blueprint ....

btw who would pay 10K + 2K for seasson pass

[torpid plume]

I brought the season pass but already at level 70 so saving myself a lot of money lmao

[broken plume]

Anyone else feel like the Cavalier 4 set just doesn't work?

Like I see the icon for charging go up

but I don't feel like I'm taking any less damage

[burnt turtle]

It only works on skill damage because ubisoft

[broken plume]

Doesn't say that in the gear set

[burnt turtle]

Ubisoft

[rare vapor]

[torpid plume]

It's a worthless gearset

[rare vapor]

from godlike to worthless in just 1 PTS time

[sturdy cape]

starting under-tuned and then buffing is probably better than the other way around. hopefully they improve it later

[surreal orbit]

Regulus is raid only bro

[torpid plume]

When do these a holes ever give us buffs lol

[sturdy cape]

goddam, the toxicity towards the devs really gets tiresome

[torpid plume]

Show me where I said dev 😴

[sturdy cape]

who are 'these a holes' then?

[torpid plume]

It's common sense that the devs aren't the ones making these decisions it's those clowns above them telling them what to do.

[sturdy cape]

🤦‍♂️

[placid epoch]

Hi, quick question: how is the current state of the game?
Played the sequel on launch, stuck around until the first update with the big hovercraft thing, took a break hoping that time would add significant content and things to do. Like the Legendary difficulty and Gear Sets in D1.
Planning on starting a new Agent and just going through it again like it was new, anyting to know or avoid?

[undone timber]

Does your loop progress save if you exit to DC in the checkpoint room

[torpid plume]

The meat riding is crazy

[sturdy cape]

nobody is riding any meat, wtf is wrong with you

maybe it's possible to talk about a game without calling people a holes?

that's your standard for meat riding? not wanting to be insulting?

[torpid plume]

Nahh, if I'm toxic you're a meat rider. I'm allowed about option.

[sturdy cape]

🤨

[hidden prawn]

Shhh its a console player

[sturdy cape]

getting mike-01's on the brain are we

[torpid plume]

Atleast I have a brain 😂

[full zinc]

🍿

[dull spade]

Dose anyone know what the todo gear set is

[hidden prawn]

Oh dear god

[hidden prawn]

First time here?

[torpid plume]

Gets peoples hopes up

[cold shoal]

The what?

[full zinc]

It's a good time to hop back in. Year 5 just started.

[jaunty agate]

is a clan the best way to get in on legendary stronghold runs?

[sturdy cape]

depends on the clan

[burnt turtle]

Best way is lfg and pray

[signal pagoda]

Doing it solo

[burnt turtle]

Or solo

[jaunty agate]

how tf u solo a tidal basin

[hearty briar]

Wait, how on earth are we meant to do raids without voice chat

[signal pagoda]

I love doing it solo

[burnt turtle]

Ingame voip

[jaunty agate]

on legendary?

fr?

[signal pagoda]

Yes

Hear me out ..

[burnt turtle]

Legy is just build and mission knowledge

[signal pagoda]

Is it time efficient no but is it fun yes

[jaunty agate]

i cant do it with 4 people IF i can get that many

[burnt turtle]

Solo dua 💀

[hearty briar]

In game VOIP is dogshit

[burnt turtle]

Organising gonna be cancer

Can't just check vc now

[signal pagoda]

I funnel them through if I let too many black tusk in through I wipe bc i wanna stay behind cover at all time

[signal pagoda]

Drone commanders r a must to kill

[burnt turtle]

Just spawnkill 4head

[jaunty agate]

i have nowhere near enough damage output to solo a legendary

[ebon pelican]

Inb4 they add ingame matchmaking so no one gotta use the VC's anymore

[burnt turtle]

Ingame mm ironhorse no ones getting past grey let alone feiser

[signal pagoda]

Did at shd level 235 and now doing it at 640

[jaunty agate]

thats cool

[signal pagoda]

spike and perfect tech support w wave form

[jaunty agate]

im not

[burnt turtle]

6 red or cry

[jaunty agate]

im 7

i can pull 97mil dmg headshots

[signal pagoda]

Hop on Control points rn

[jaunty agate]

y

[full zinc]

Shd pretty irrelevant if you have a solid build

[jaunty agate]

it an ok build, but it doesnt work solo

its a sniper build

[full zinc]

Check out #lfg-pc you'll find people that run them regular

[jaunty agate]

already called, just gotta wait ig

[full zinc]

Yup

[jaunty agate]

its been like 3 days with no luck, gonna reset soon.... rip

mb over the weekend...

[burnt turtle]

You cant 7 red 💀

[jaunty agate]

oh sorry one over

5, im a criminal ig

[broken solstice]

if you have 15 expertise thats 15% weapon damage. same as another red on the build no?

[burnt turtle]

Think so

[dark kettle]

double exp still up?

[burnt turtle]

:clueless:

[broken solstice]

no

[jaunty agate]

also where tf is the store? why cant i buy shit

[dark kettle]

I'm just receiving a regular exp in CP tho I have all directives active :/

[burnt turtle]

Double xp is only 15 levels

[full zinc]

What season level are you

[dark kettle]

22

[full zinc]

Yeah its done

[dark kettle]

oh so it is season level based?

[torpid plume]

It's a bug, Go to Whitehouse and turn off directives then reset them.

[dark kettle]

oh thank

you

[torpid plume]

No worries atleast you noticed it before you wasted too much time for nothing lol

[lone valve]

What in the actual fuck is the nemesis difficulty in a group

They 2 tapped everyone within 10 seconds of starting it

[oblique peak]

Yeah Descent overall is a big mess of jank

[lone valve]

Solo is fine

It's the 4 man scaling that is doing smth extremely weird

Like sure it's supposed to be hard
But this is just absurd

[broken solstice]

damn, i saw a vid with someone trying to re roll the st elmos and it took them 9 tries to get dttooc lol

[burnt turtle]

1v4 scaling i guess

[rare vapor]

Sniping is back on the menu with this update, LMAO

[oblique peak]

@rare vapor Why is that?

[burnt turtle]

Determined chaining is back

[rare vapor]

all the chinese ppl are waving and dancing about it on global chat

[odd verge]

@rare vapor the description on determined still say it doesnt proc with a bodyshot so im sure they will stop it again soon.

[rare vapor]

5 directives doing CP solo

better hope on before the nerf in a maint lol

i'm back on my all sniping build again

[odd verge]

@rare vapor yeah i made sure i ran it for a while when i was on earlier. Had a lot of fun with it b4 the nerf. Its OP but had its weaknesses too

[rare vapor]

this is pretty out of hand

[burnt turtle]

Lmao

[rare vapor]

the sniping farm is back, and you get to season level 100 in just 2 hours

no need to pay 100 dollars for it

[burnt turtle]

I think its meant to reproc on headshots only

[rare vapor]

[burnt turtle]

But ubisoft be ubisoft

[elfin hazel]

sniping has never been off the menu IMO

[oblique peak]

@elfin hazel @rare vapor Gimme a good sniper build

[rare vapor]

well i been sniping for so long, but you cant do that effectively in group play as others fk up your aim.

[broken solstice]

group members are always ending up right in front of where im shooting

[elfin hazel]

tip of the spear sniper from the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice is what I mainly use

[odd verge]

Their skills always eff me up. Got the elites dancing ducking bobbing and weaving 😆

[scenic vale]

the lightweight M4, is that a blueprit only weapon?

[burnt turtle]

Just solo 4head

[broken solstice]

yeah

[rare vapor]

"SOLO"

and if you are doing "too well" in groups, you get kicked or they leave group

[river iris]

is there a new xp farm at all?

[rare vapor]

yes

[river iris]

what do you do for it

[rare vapor]

get a sniper build and activate all 5 directives and do CP

you need 4pc hotshot though because only that gives you infinite ammo, else you run out quick doing diff activities

due to 5 directives. unless you only use 4 or less.

[burnt turtle]

Just disable ammo hoarders and should be fine iirc

[rare vapor]

like i said, unless you run 4 directives or lower

[scenic vale]

How do you get backk to NY? The helicopter is gone

[rare vapor]

however the damage diff for using a different set is minimal comparing to HotShot

[rare vapor]

Hover over the Big Apple on the world map and hold X to teleport over

[scenic vale]

👍

[broken plume]

Hotshot B tier
Aces and Eights S tier

[limpid kindle]

Someone did the new mode called descent?

[broken solstice]

yea

[odd verge]

@oblique peak 3 piece hotshot. 1 walker 1 providence 1 Airaldi Holding. I use chainkiller and the gift but if u dont have gift as long as u have vigilance ohh well. White death rifle

Head shot damage and weapon handling

On all

[oblique peak]

Cool I already have a near perfect White Death

[odd verge]

Yeah i took my death to lvl 20 expertise bc this build 😎

Dttoc and determined ofc

[rare vapor]

[odd verge]

🦦

[shrewd quail]

Hi friends

Any reason why we can’t have an across the chest strap backpack

[odd verge]

Because they cant make it without it clipping with the chest piece lol. Jk idk

[shrewd quail]

😭

[mild prawn]

Is it me or why does my sever session say
Asia
I’m in NA west

[rare vapor]

use "find better server" option

[mild prawn]

There is no option

[river iris]

i posted mine in build advice, how is it supposed to be played? im assuming its just a skill diff

since its not working out

[rare vapor]

relog might put you in a better server too

[rare vapor]

it works

[mild prawn]

It gave me mute mic
Find group
Just relogged in and same thing

Bug?

[rare vapor]

then its prob chinese players are just way too many right this hour

[torpid plume]

About time, Too bad they are making the stupid decision to nerf it again. Make the most of it.

[mild prawn]

??

[low hemlock]

I really dont know how you guys beat the nemesis boss in group tbh. They bombard you with every ability they have. 1 shot you if they see you, and tanking so much of the damage

[ebon pelican]

My guy

[gusty swallow]

so is it just thing now that all the hvt's in the arena also have an rpg? i dont remember seeing that on descent during the pts.

[ebon pelican]

The nemesis just shock trapped my ass in solo, then killed me with three bullets

[low hemlock]

The difficulty doesnt make sense at all

[lone valve]

My thoughts exactly
I did mostly hard rooms with a 4 man and they 2 tapped everyone in seconds

[ebon pelican]

I dunno who thought giving them CC when they're this tanky was a good idea, let alone giving us talents we can't even use (aka all the damn shield talents)

[broken solstice]

just pick hard

[odd verge]

I dont understand the question really buddy. U just get ur determined streak going and oneshot everybody. I clear allnthe ppl that can be easily one shot b4 dealing with ppl with helmets

[lone valve]

The cover also sucks in the nemesis map
And they Spawn in all directions basically

[torpid plume]

The entire point of it is to make your experience as unenjoyable as possible

[lone valve]

I mean you can use them
If you have rng on ur side and manage to get a shield

[low hemlock]

Countdown difficulty is alright and enjoyable

But descent is just so damn wierd

I dont even know what i did wrong

[ebon pelican]

I've never seen a shield whatsoever, and I've been doing the gamemode since it came out today

I'm convinced it just ain't in the pool

[broken solstice]

ive had a shield in the pts but not in any of my runs today

[ebon pelican]

^

[low hemlock]

It does have shield

[sour river]

Nemesis is almost impossible in a group I had a really good 3 stack and can only kill onr

[ebon pelican]

I'm 100% certain they've been removed since the PTS

[low hemlock]

I run it

[gusty swallow]

lol frfr i thought whitetusk drone spam was bad until i did a cleaners room and it was just napalm turrets and bombing drones the entire room. spent the entire fight dodge rolling

[lone valve]

I got one and a teammate got one on separate sessions
Saw a bloody deflector shield aswell

[sour river]

Shield is in the pool

[torpid plume]

Nothing it's just unfairly balanced because they want to nerf us and buff enemies.

[ebon pelican]

Then I must just be cursed, cause I haven't nor have the people I've been playing with

Maybe they just utterly tanked the rate they can spawn at because shields would make the nemesis fight somewhat fair

[lone valve]

Unless they want people in a group to always do hard rooms till the nemesis

[broken solstice]

its not that hard. you'll get used to it

[low hemlock]

I though all the youtuber said it was easy. I renember seen a youtuber asking for a power nerf in pts

[signal pagoda]

Descents glitches when I get around level 71 or nemesis the game says not all players are inside and

[lone valve]

Basically you shouldn't do anything below hard rooms to even have a chance in a group

[lone valve]

Yea this iteration of descent is much harder imo

[torpid plume]

The Youtubers and content creators making those videos are idiots. They are just as much to blame.

[sour river]

I Like the challenge but it's way to unfair

[lone valve]

I've heard solo is pretty well balanced

[sour river]

Solo is fun

[low hemlock]

I think the first nemesis boss suppose to be only 1 and then go up to 2 and 3 to 4 and so on

[lone valve]

Yea so they messed up with the 4 man scaling

[low hemlock]

Fighting 4 is so damn unfair

Nemesis scales to ur group

If ur a 4 man 4 Spawn

[broken solstice]

i ran in a group of 3. it was perfect

[wet igloo]

@surreal orbit lmao I see you in my lobby

[sour river]

3 is extremely difficult

[low hemlock]

Dude i know you are the god of gaming, but i run a group whole day and 100% of all my group geting wipe all without doing anything

[broken solstice]

jeez

[lone valve]

It's not about it being hard
It's about it being overly unbalanced to the nemesis side

[broken solstice]

yeah

[sour river]

They all have to much health and do way too much damage

[lone valve]

They also have the hunter /rogue agent ai where they are incredibly aggressive

[low hemlock]

Massive though we are too strong because we melt hunter too fast in 8 man people

[torpid plume]

It helps to have good team members though, If 3 players know what they are doing it can probably be done but tbh it's near impossible to find a good group.

[lone valve]

Didn't they state smth the lines of they wanted beating the nemesis to be achievable by the regular player
And stated that beyond the nemesis it was for a different player

[broken solstice]

my group was good about rez'ing each other

that helped a lot

[sour river]

But you only have one token per person

[lone valve]

Tokens cost 500 aswell

[broken solstice]

yeah gotta keep up with that

[low hemlock]

Aside from nemesis i think the room fight is fine thou. Love to see the struggleing to get power and rise

They definately need to balance this

[lone valve]

Overall I like the path to the nemesis in a group don't get me wrong
Had some clutch moments and revives
But like to just get to the nemesis and get 2 tapped was smth else

That's what you call a spike in difficulty

[torpid plume]

Yeah with descent it's not worth playing until they fix it

[low hemlock]

Someone must tell them this is not vampire survivor lol

[oblique peak]

Can you get White Death from countdown

[lone valve]

Not in a group tbh

[slow halo]

is it me of this is crashing more frequently after the update?

[lone valve]

Solo is fine

[slow halo]

or*

[low hemlock]

Yes brother im even getting sick of it

[lone valve]

Target loot snipers done pray to rng

[gaunt dust]

Who’s Elmo and why’s he a Saint?

[broken solstice]

i dont know but he has a fire named after him

[frozen meadow]

10 preservation 10 vigilance 8 allegro

[broken solstice]

its more of an electrical thing tho

[frozen meadow]

hitting 2700 per shot

[rare vapor]

2700, good times....good times...

[frozen meadow]

wdym

???

[rare vapor]

reminds me of when I just starting out as a green horn, years ago, that's what the damage per bullet was.

[frozen meadow]

we lost, how tf you supposed to beat the nemesis lol

[civic hearth]

descent is so good for xp grinding, im getting like 8-11 levels per go and not even beating the nemesis

nemesis is so easier solo than with group

[frozen meadow]

copy

btw what does it mean when the NSA station says "the increase is cumulative"

[lone valve]

Yep
I knew I wasn't the only one
Solo is much easier

[hearty briar]

It’s probably a reference to Saint Elmo’s fire which is a weather phenomenon. Reason it’s actually called Saint Elmo is because he’s the Patron saint of sailors, who were the first to see the phenomenon from their ship masts

[drowsy swan]

I'm having lots of fun in decent

[civic hearth]

its a permanent boost, so you Don't have to buy it in the descent as much i think

[frozen meadow]

thats not what cumulative usually means

[civic hearth]

classic ubisoft messing something up

[frozen meadow]

???????

[hearty briar]

Figured it was like baby SHD watch. Those boosts are permanent

[frozen meadow]

that sentence makes no sense

[gaunt dust]

👍

[broken solstice]

cumulative means total sum of x

[hearty briar]

For Descent anyway.

[shrewd quail]

My god

[frozen meadow]

cuz i just got all ten upgrades for chc, does that mean i got 10 chc total or n(n+1)/2

[shrewd quail]

Tell me why this manhunt Alert 4 heroic control point was the most painful thing I’ve ever experienced

[broken solstice]

i think yeah you got 10%

[shrewd quail]

Why did a VTOL show up with like 7 hounds 💀💀

[frozen meadow]

cuz i bought one upgrade for protection from elites and it went from saying 2% to 4%

[drowsy swan]

Tbh decent is real great way of grinding and doing it solo is Definitely a lot better

[frozen meadow]

please

[shrewd quail]

It’s alot of fun

[civic hearth]

oh also, has anyone got some weird gear piece called like "todo: gearset q". some like glitched item or placeholder and i got it earlier

[frozen meadow]

for the love of god stop calling it decent

[shrewd quail]

It reminds me of those mobile games where you survive waves and after every wave you get to choose upgrades (it’s like they just took that idea and made a game mode around it)

I do like it a lot, it’s a lot of fun

[drowsy swan]

Someone's mad

[shrewd quail]

Decadently is my favorite game mode

[hearty briar]

I like seeing rouge agents in decent 💀🤡

[frozen meadow]

i wish there was a way to check overall stats

[shrewd quail]

Who wanna play dollar general

[drowsy swan]

Dollar tree

[lone valve]

The new momento

[frozen meadow]

i swear

im having big stronkj rn

[shrewd quail]

Why

Don’t do that please

[frozen meadow]

the stronk is real

[shrewd quail]

Is very real 😔🩸

[drowsy swan]

Ahem decent lol

[shrewd quail]

Is running a sniper in raids like, taboo or something?

[drowsy swan]

Idk I never ran snipers in raids

[torpid plume]

If anything it should be called indecent

[frozen meadow]

incandescent

[shrewd quail]

I’ve had people not let me raid with them because I run a sniper

[frozen meadow]

yes because its shit

[shrewd quail]

It’s not

[frozen meadow]

as someone who has ran 600+ dh and 300+ ih, i can say it is

[shrewd quail]

Have you ever seen someone snipe in a raid

[frozen meadow]

yes, i have lmfao

ive literally sniped in raids

[shrewd quail]

So were they a shit shot?

[frozen meadow]

no, it was me lmfao

[shrewd quail]

Why do you say it’s shit

Oopsies

[frozen meadow]

because you need constant dps to be of use

otherwise youll just end up being a carry

[west bough]

anybody on xbox wanna grind lvl 3 cps? hunting blueprint assessments and alloys

[shrewd quail]

Why would raids be made where only single build type or 2 is compatible?

[frozen meadow]

its not. you just need something with constant dps

not a sniper lol

[shrewd quail]

That’s cringey as fuck

[frozen meadow]

then dont do it

[shrewd quail]

I will anyways

[frozen meadow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

then dont be mad when you get kicked from the group

[shrewd quail]

If I ever get around to raiding I’ll run a sniper and see how it goes

[frozen meadow]

i know id refuse playing with people who use sniper

[shrewd quail]

Okay I won’t :))

[frozen meadow]

if you dont get kicked first lmfao

[shrewd quail]

That’s fine

[lone valve]

Don't worry
Raids are old people stuff now
You can take ur sniper build into the incursion that's coming in the next season instead!!

[shrewd quail]

That’s alright

[shrewd quail]

Yay!!! :DD

[frozen meadow]

cyber you realize youre basically inhibing your entire group out of stubbornness

[shrewd quail]

I just wanna have fun :((

[frozen meadow]

thats what you just admitted to

"i dont care about the rest of my group i wanna run what i wanna run"

[shrewd quail]

But you said they’ll kick me

[frozen meadow]

because youll end up being the carry of the group

[shrewd quail]

So how will I inhibit them if I’m not there

[clever blade]

14th on PC for the descent leaderboard 😮‍💨

[torpid plume]

The downfall of group play, The very reason I prefer solo.

[frozen meadow]

ties for 14th*

[lone valve]

If you have a constant group that doesn't care that ur sniping then keep running
If it's random groups then yea they'll get pissy at you

[shrewd quail]

Good job!!

[clever blade]

the entirety of the group on 14th are the homies I was with

[frozen meadow]

nah im on 14th too

[clever blade]

tf?

What loop did you get to?

[frozen meadow]

you should know

lul

[clever blade]

Look at the solo leaderboards

Some dude is at 32, not sure if it's legit tbh lol

[frozen meadow]

you just said you were with a group thonk

[clever blade]

I was shifting to talk about the solo leaderboard, multiple topics can exist at once

[frozen meadow]

lies

[lone valve]

This will be resistance all over again
People fighting to see who goes the longest

[frozen meadow]

unless theres a large full screen whoosh transition then the topic is always the same

[clever blade]

I'm just not sure if the 32 is legit lol

[frozen meadow]

skill issue

[lone valve]

Someone with too much time

[clever blade]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[lone valve]

Or they just have a good gaming chair

[rare vapor]

[undone timber]

I got wrecked by the nemesis at loop 5 💀

[torpid plume]

Don't worry eventually people will start getting to 100, It's only been out for a day.

[clever blade]

Homie is at 32 loops solo, I highly doubt it's legit

Especially for being there within 3-4 hours of the servers coming back online

[torpid plume]

Yeah sounds a bit off but who knows

[summer sparrow]

Anyone else been crashing a lot today?

[broken solstice]

not once

[rough sleet]

only crashed when I closed the game, lol

[dull cypress]

does the 2xp refresh per day or was that it

[rough sleet]

first 15 levels then done

or til end of the first target week (if you didn't reach 15 levels)

[shrewd quail]

What’s up buttheads

Yeah I said it

[slow steppe]

It’s hard ngl

[undone timber]

Like 3-4 hits and I was dead lmao

Which is weird cuz the rest of it was fairly easy

[slow steppe]

Damn. He rlly that strong

4man or 1man

[undone timber]

1

[slow steppe]

might be why.

Playin solo makes it harder

[undone timber]

Doesn't playing with 4 make everything an absolute sponge though

[low hemlock]

Wait how the hell u get nemesis on loop 5

I always get it on loop 7

[slow steppe]

I never got nemesis

[undone timber]

I got mine on 5

[slow steppe]

Nah, it’s easier for me.

think that was division one multiplayer

[low hemlock]

Their damage is ridiculously high not to mention they are super tanky, they can also hack your turret, and spam their skill non stop

They also have rogue AI, so they are really really agressive

And half of your talent might be not working for some reason

[gritty cradle]

anyone getting crashes all the time after the new update?

[undone timber]

How are you supposed to kill smth that broken 😭

[pastel forge]

Talent: Unbreakable - bugged? 1x full armor, 60sec debuff and no more armor refill..

[low hemlock]

You suppose to play every room on hard. So you get more loop room = more talent. Good coordinate teamate also help. That is the theory cause i already giving up

[torpid plume]

This new gun is sick I hope they don't ruin it in a future update

[low hemlock]

The elmo ?

[torpid plume]

Yes the attachments are very nice

[broken solstice]

the games difficulty feels like its changed

[torpid plume]

I think the same at times after the server goes down and comes back up it's not as fun playing sometimes

[low hemlock]

Have u test it with the striker set? How strong is it ?

[broken solstice]

very

[undone timber]

It's the same as it was in the PTS ie it's probably bis for strikers

[broken solstice]

crits in the just about 900k range

[sterile phoenix]

NPC AI hasn't done it's pushups yet.

[low hemlock]

Better than famas/chameleon crit ?

[torpid plume]

@low hemlock that's a great idea I didn't even think of that

[broken solstice]

its a lot easier to play with that those other guns. the 70 round mag is crazy good

[torpid plume]

About time they gave us something good

[low hemlock]

I mean i just see the ridiculous magazine and the first thing come to my mind is striker

[low hemlock]

900k is just base right ?

No expertise yet?

[azure lintel]

got dtooc on mine hits close to 1.2m to health

[broken solstice]

oh i got it at 15

[undone timber]

It's way easier to use and the mods are hella nice

[azure lintel]

not to mention the gun has no recoil with striker's set

[low hemlock]

What about the reload ?
