[broken solstice]

I like using an M1A determined/HH build and it kills heroic elites with body shots so it's a real fast way to get GE stars for headshot challenges

[spark tendon]

(also sniper build sucks against certain units, so having a deagle is better tbh)

like what is my sniper gonna do to a heavily armoured MG guy or Hyena Rusher

😭

Goofy thing is Determined Headshot apparently doesn't one shot them but breaks their head armor first even though I shot their body???

I know that makes it a tad bit unbalanced but that makes no sense at all

[broken solstice]

Yea kinda weird

[spark tendon]

Overall DPS still rule imo

Because atleast you don't insta die to rushers lol

[rancid vapor]

What’s this I hear about a new xp glitch

[tiny oar]

again another one ?

damn thoses fkrs dont waste time

[rancid vapor]

@tiny oar apparently there is multiple

[fluid meadow]

Funny thing is that the hyena rusher has an open spot behind their head that you can headshot from

But if you have determined it hits their head armor lol

[bitter wraith]

Will never be a day where this game doesnt crash

Or require over 5 hours of maintenance to fix a single weapon

[rancid vapor]

The shock weapon?

[bitter wraith]

Nah thatll never be fixed to how it should be but what i meant was the fact even over a YEAR later countdown still disconnects people and crashes and won't let them rejoin

[rancid vapor]

Oh yeah that’s pretty stupid

And I feel like the new gun will definitely get a Nerf in pvp

You don’t even need a build for it

You can use anything pretty much

[bitter wraith]

So true

[magic rock]

1.3 billion damage summary oh ya

[dense shore]

E

[tropic compass]

We need a map overhaul considering the game isn't a 1:1 scale with DC any more

[tiny oar]

wym it is still 1:1 ?

[reef reef]

ay yo did everything get slightly larger?

[tiny oar]

thats cause i eat too much sorry

[merry zinc]

not after the incident

[tiny oar]

which one

[tender wave]

the great DC shrink-ray mishap? I thought noone knew about that!

[slow smelt]

Why doesn't this server have a Resurgence channel?

[azure lintel]

why when i want to do the quest help rebuild the castle it only gives me 1 valve to rotate and then nothing and when i looked it online ppl were rotating other valves can you guys help?

[distant oak]

There are 3 valves. Activate the first one. Then turn on the water. Then use the computer.

[azure lintel]

idk where are they i dont gent any location for them

[distant oak]

After that the second valve is active. Use it. Turn on the grid. And use the computer.

[distant oak]

When you stand in front of the first valve. Look right. There you can activate it.

It is a tap if I can remember correctly.

[azure lintel]

my game is surely broken

[distant oak]

Normally an orange pointer shows you where to go.

[azure lintel]

look in the dm

[distant oak]

Find the tap on your right hand side. And try to activate it.

[azure lintel]

there isnt any tap that i can activate

[tender wave]

are you lvl 40? People have been getting a glitched version of the task at lvl 30

[azure lintel]

nope

like 32

do i need to do more missions?

[tender wave]

you can't be lvl 32 at the castle, do you mean shd 32? Have you been to NY and beaten Keener?

[azure lintel]

shd?

im sorry i havent played the game in a while

[tender wave]

Have you been to NY and beaten Keener?

[azure lintel]

nope

[tender wave]

ok, so you must be lvl 30 or lower, and you've got the bugged version of the quest - there's nothing you can do but ignore it unfortunately

[azure lintel]

if i beat keener the quest will work?

[tender wave]

yes

[azure lintel]

alr

i finished the dc story

NY is the dlc right?

warlords of new york

[tender wave]

yeah, you need to head to NY and you'll be stuck there until you reach lvl 40 and beat keener, then it'll let you come back

[azure lintel]

ok thx

[tender wave]

then you'll start the true endgame

[azure lintel]

ok thx for the info

[bitter wraith]

Does anyone have a table for expertise level upgrade costs? Particularly level 16 - 23?

[full zinc]

After lvl 20 the exo cost is capped at 20. I dont really pay attention the FRD and shd cal cost.
115 total exo to max out a single item though

I would only suggest upgrading a weapon that high that had perfect stats where you can change the talent. That way it isnt totally wasted if the meta shifts

[slow siren]

i dont know whats going on with my game but i havnt got one exotic drop in a few days done over 50 floors of summit and 50 control points not one exotic drop idk wahts going on

[full zinc]

2 complete runs in cd will give you enough for an exo cache.
What difficulty have you been on?

[slow siren]

heroic and even done floor 100 on legendary not even one exotic

[full zinc]

Yeah it's weird.

[slow siren]

seems the only way of getting them fo rme is caches

i used to get them not often but i used to get them and now none

i was playing and guy got like 4-5 exotics i didnt even get one

everyone but me lol

[full zinc]

Rngesus can be cruel.

[slow siren]

i guess so

im just trying to get ninja bag

[full zinc]

Oh that wont drop from target most likely. It was bugged during season and I have not seen it drop other than caches. It can drop random from an npc but really rare

[slow siren]

countdown i guess it is

[keen junco]

Hi I used to play just come back to it I’m lvl 25 I think has anyone got any tips on what I should do

[dusty terrace]

Here's

[reef reef]

i think you didnt finish what you were

[rustic sedge]

saying you were, finish he didn't

[rustic sedge]

do you have WoNY expansion? if you do, run for level 40 and finish expansion to unlock SHD watch, if you dont, well run to level 30 and unlock yourself a world tier 5

[azure lintel]

Hello,
I have a question.
How do I endorse people? I've been playing solo until just a few days, and I would like to endorse anyone who's helped me.

Today I played with others, captured four control points and other activities. Every time we finished an activity I tried to look for the endorse option in social, but nothing. I could not find any option to endorse.

[keen junco]

I DONT HAVE ANY DLCS i dont think

[reef reef]

once you play with them long enough it gives you the option iirc

something like that

[dim terrace]

If u miss the initial endorse message then click social, click on first group member - to the right u will see an endorse message (if they are eligible for endorsement). Click on that message. Click second group member, etc.
Hope this makes sense.

[rancid vapor]

What exotic talent should I pick chatter bloodsucker or bullet hell

[lone valve]

Chatter or blood

[rancid vapor]

What are the best ones?

I haven’t played much of the new mode

[lone valve]

Breathe free chatter and bloodsucker are pretty good
Adaptive instincts too

[paper crystal]

blood

[rancid vapor]

@lone valve also how would bullet hell and chatter work

Because with the bullet king you can’t reload

[lone valve]

I don't have a clue on that interaction tbh

[paper crystal]

they dont

chatter will be useless

[lone valve]

Yea figures

[tropic compass]

Most buildings are completely different than they are in game such as downtown east, west and foggy bottom

[rustic sedge]

did they joined your group via backup call or normal join? cause endorse option is only for agents that joins group via backup call in need

[random raft]

anyone else have serwers down in EU?

[azure lintel]

I see.
They joined via normal join, I had open group option.

That might be the reason, then!

Thank you all for the responses:)

[oak prawn]

wow games crashed 3 times in the past 10 mins

[fair lake]

If you don't know - don't spread wrong info

[warped knoll]

If I’ve already run ih this week can I still get the regulus parts if I do it again?

[tender wave]

get chatter first, reload to get that nice RPM buff, then get bullet hell and you'll never lose the buff but still benefit from the RPM and ammo refills

[slow siren]

hollup that sounds nasty

wait

but 2 exotics?

[tender wave]

Yeah it does use up 2 of your 3 exotic slots so not ideal in that sense

[slow siren]

you cant equip 2 exotic guns at once

[tender wave]

We're talking about descent

[slow siren]

ohhh

now that makes sense

but to get those both

[lunar parrot]

any news on apparel event?

[oak prawn]

might drop this tues along with target number 2

[elfin hazel]

still nothing

[lone valve]

The community manager daria said the date on the schedule is a placeholder

[potent radish]

hey anyone is the exotic in new york can be also farm in dc? im having confusion regarding to this loots mechanic

[lone valve]

The countdown experience is still horrible it's actually amazing how this fucking mode has gotten worse since launch
3 fucking countdown games in a row where half the group leaves at the start

[gloomy wyvern]

They will drop in DC. The drop chances for those exotics tend to be better if you are doing the missions for them. For example you have a better chance of getting the Bullet King from a Rikers mission boss then other methods.

[mossy arch]

is it a new feature, when missions have few random directives which you can't turn off?

[drowsy swan]

Welp my momento backpack is broken

[potent radish]

Hunting for lady death smg can u gve me some advice

[twilit quail]

why cant i see the voice cahnnels

[quaint acorn]

#discord-news

[icy condor]

Just a question can the exotic nemesis drop on an exotic cache without getting the parts on tidal basin?

[gloomy wyvern]

The random bosses in the open world in NYC have a 3% chance for them to drop. They respawn every hour. Check the spreadsheet in the pinned comment for more

[gloomy wyvern]

Nope

[lone valve]

Yall ever had that one group of randoms that quite literally didn't even pay attention twice to the snipers in Roosevelt island

[barren tiger]

be very very quite i'm hung smgs

[icy condor]

thanks looks like have to put it on my to do list

[vale ledge]

nleh.. no crash, but i got kicked out ingame

bleh ubisoft

sigh, just 1 more arena b4 nemesis

[grave stratus]

Gotten back into div after a year off, what's the fastest shd level farm right now? At 400 trying to get to 100

[delicate lodge]

Control points and public execution

Heroic with more than 3 directives of course

[grave stratus]

Cheers!

[delicate lodge]

I try

[undone timber]

It'll drop from a cache if you have the blueprint

[wraith oriole]

Where’s fenris in crafting station?

[hybrid ore]

@icy condor To be clear, you can't just get the one piece from Tidal Basin and then it from Caches.
You need to collect enough of it from the bosses, then the blueprint from Invaded Grand Washington Hotel, then the Blueprint gets added to the Exotic Cache loot pool.

[wraith oriole]

I’m grinding for fenris I need it quick

[hybrid ore]

Not everything in the Crafting Station has full blueprints for the entire set, a lot of them only have it for 3/6 parts.

[wraith oriole]

That’s dumb

[hybrid ore]

Go to your Crafting Table and if it doesn't list it, it doesn't exist.

[undone timber]

Just countdown tbh

[wraith oriole]

Im doing that

[undone timber]

Crafting always has garbage rolls imo waste of mats

[wraith oriole]

12 countdowns for a specific roll on my bag for fenris

Ive seen it nowhere

Crit dmg on all of it

[hybrid ore]

Crafting IIRC is actually based off Normal difficulty, so 9/10 it's going to be trash rolls.

[wraith oriole]

Well it’s for a dz build

[undone timber]

Finally I have the shield splinterer and hunter killer

[upper oriole]

Descent has been pretty nice to me, when it comes to quick leveling..

[oak prawn]

welcome to the club

[undone timber]

The food truck hunters aargh

[oak prawn]

the puzzle is the annoying part

shoot half the targets during the day and the other half at night and in a certain order

gotta shoot a few xmas trees

find the gennie key

[undone timber]

I have absolutely no idea how people found out the steps

[oak prawn]

alot of trial and error

and alot of broken keyboards or controllers

[upper oriole]

drop a hint on social media.. let it thrive from there!

[oak prawn]

for me the hardest hunters were the drama and weirdo hunters

[undone timber]

The quad groups were the hardest tbh

And the neurotic one with his stupid stinger hive

[oak prawn]

the 1 quad group i got lucky they agroed some rogues friendlies and outcasts so i could safely take em out

i was gonna grab popcorn and watch 4 hunters vs 2 npc rogues but decided nah

[undone timber]

4 tusk hunters vs 4 rogues

[oak prawn]

well as i like to call the CD hunters baby hunters

[oak prawn]

i think the hunters would win granted both groups are bullet sponges but with the hunters alivlty to hack and disable skills

[frozen meadow]

Hold on

Why the FUCK isn't Achilles pulse in descent

[undone timber]

I wonder what would happen if a hunter crash axed a chunga

[frozen meadow]

The game self destructs

[undone timber]

💀

[lone valve]

Why the FUCK isn't "INSERT TALENT" in descent
Also works

[undone timber]

8 man hunter team versus the iron horse

[frozen meadow]

Achilles.pulse is the only non-spec skill that isn't there

[lone valve]

Don't think they know that exists

[oak prawn]

thats my best guess

[azure lintel]

Nah more like 1 hunter vs 4 rogues since rogues mostly depend on skills

[oak prawn]

both are bullet sponges

[azure lintel]

Still Rogues are way easier to deal with

[oak prawn]

in groups of 5 they can be annoying

[azure lintel]

All you need is riot foam
Other then that yea depending on what build you are running
They can be hard
with dps it should only take 1-2 foam

[oak prawn]

at least rogues dont have a powerful melee like the hunters so with their axes

ofc with riot foam and a scorpio they fall rather quickly

[azure lintel]

Yup and Scorpio,banshee for hunters
I can't remember if ongoing bullets slowed down hunters

[undone timber]

Stops em from sprinting

[azure lintel]

Ah alright thank you

[undone timber]

Better off with shock rounds though

[azure lintel]

True can just store it on Elmo for hunters while extracting
As long as other people are doing enough damage

I imagine it being real handy in summit
Still have to try it

[oak prawn]

im only level 22 on the SP

[blissful harness]

hi there can someone halp me im looking for info iv made a paymint to buy primeim and it not came on my game iv reset my game and i did not get it who do i talk to or email to get this looked into

[undone timber]

?

[hybrid ore]

I think I can translate.
@blissful harness So you bought premium currency and didn't get it yet? In that case, you should send a ticket into Ubi Support, there's a link over in#unofficial-troubleshooting > 📌.

[blissful harness]

ty so much

[hybrid ore]

@frail shuttle You're looking for #lfg-raid-pc

[verbal mica]

how much health does chungus have on iron horse last boss ?

the ones who jump down from the train?

( hitting for 50mil+ with nemesis on the range in wh on named just wondering if thats one shot )

[grave geyser]

Quick question but is the escalation apparel event active?

[nocturne harbor]

no

[hybrid ore]

Nope, was delayed due to outages.
Currently scheduled in a week and a bit.

[nocturne harbor]

Because as we know, if you have to make your players wait for something, the best thing to do after that is to make them wait again for something else they were waiting for =]

[barren tiger]

lol

[hybrid ore]

That's live-service games for ya.
It'll never be worse than Warframe delaying a major expansion almost 3 years out of date.

[nocturne harbor]

Tell me about it, I have a habit of falling in love with games that are prone to problems and delays

[hybrid ore]

Wait nvm, make that 4 years.

RIP Hayden Tenno clone.

[nocturne harbor]

I havent even touched Devuri or w.e it's called yet in Warframe, nobody i know plays anymore so kinda lost interest

[barren tiger]

so, i was doing the keener manhunt and at the cut scene at the end, my character had a drone part sticking out of her 🤣

[hybrid ore]

It makes no lore sense so don't worry about it.
Escalation Apparel Event looks fun though. Been wanting some Ghost Recon apparel for a while.

[barren tiger]

jsut standing next to kelso looking down at keener iwth some metal embedded in my chest like no big deal lol

[nocturne harbor]

Tis just a scratch

[barren tiger]

grabbed a screen shot cuz i thought it was funny

no big deal, metal stuck in me happens all the time https://imgur.com/IstRVLf

[wraith oriole]

I was running conflict it was fun

First time tho

With my PvP/Dz build

[plush osprey]

Wish there was crossplay or save. Can't matchmake for anything on xbox.

[barren tiger]

i find ppl quickly by doing the "call for back up"

[jolly stag]

is there no weapon attachments in descent?

[plush osprey]

No.

[oak prawn]

8 of us went into heroic CD only 2 of us extracted me and 1 other guy

[warped knoll]

If I’ve already done ih this week will I need to wait till next week to get the regulas parts?

[spark tendon]

Uh uh, I think the CP i am on just resetted while i was looting it, CP supply room resetted so i got double drops, on solar farm because i was looting for resources, so now i have 2x resources, weird

And the Guardian event went to Day 6

Likely a reset but still weird it completely resets like that

[rancid vapor]

Yes

[tiny oar]

hello agents

[spark tendon]

i got a damn catharsis in countdown instead of the memento i wanted 😭

[knotty quail]

Did you have backpacks as your TL?

[spark tendon]

Yes, I did

saddening RNG

[knotty quail]

Yikes

[spark tendon]

am so sad man

imma try in exotic cache now

[mystic tartan]

i have a question about summit floor 10 farming

i noticed that simply dying after looting the boss at floor 10 respawns me at the 10th floor eleavtor. however after killing the boss again, he no longer drops any loot. was this intentional orrr

[tiny oar]

yeah you cant farm bosses this way

[mystic tartan]

sheeesh

[tiny oar]

once they drop something they wont drop it until your reset

[mystic tartan]

ayt

[tiny oar]

works for every other boss in every mission

[full zinc]

Good morning agents

[spark tendon]

got a doctor home from exotic cache

:sad:

[hybrid ore]

@lilac isle You're looking for #lfg-pc

[lilac isle]

oh mb

[hybrid ore]

np, easy fix

[spark tendon]

theres no wayyyyy

i got the acosta go bag instead of the memento 😭

what kind of RNG is this 😭

[west bough]

the usual

[tiny oar]

its called the "get fckd"

[spark tendon]

WAAAAA

actually depressing

[jolly chasm]

anyones div 2 crashing back too back

[tiny oar]

yeah its not uncommon

[lunar parrot]

Any news on apparel event?

[tiny oar]

nope

[frozen lynx]

can anyone tell me why doesn't unbreakable talent work?

[mystic tartan]

known issue, yet to be fixed

[plush otter]

the gear farm in summit still works, it just doesnt work that way, you leave one other than the boss enemy alive, kill the boss, grab the loot, and go to the lobby, that way you can farm boss rooms, but usually done on floor 90 with 3 bosses, except for legendary for bighorn

[tiny oar]

cause the division is buggy af, they working on it

[frozen lynx]

ah shit xd

only thing that was keeping me alive is unbreakable

[tiny oar]

well better change your gameplay then

[rustic sedge]

covers are scary stay away from them

[mystic tartan]

yeah i just wanted to make it a little faster by simply dying and just spawning back on the floor, seems like the devs also thought of that sadge

[warped knoll]

The unbreakable bug is a fucking pain it’s the only reason I’m iffy on running my striker build now

[untold path]

why fix the fun sniper build ....

like with some bot movement, you can't actually always hit an hs so the build help to fix those weird movement

and sometimes hs registration is bugged cuz of lag

like it ruin the only viable sniper build

[full zinc]

Are you referring to determined? Because its broke af right now 😅

[untold path]

yeah ik its broken, but if they "nerf" it, sniper build will be down bad

like they fixed it before but then it was back

but during the "fixed" part, they were no viable sniper build

[full zinc]

Nah. Headhunter is good without chaining body shots, generator shots, warhound shots , or minitank shots.

It's fun to use, but it's not working as intended. Headhunter should be a very high skill talent since it gives huge damage bonus

[untold path]

with the hs registration bugs sometime ?

like i'm skilled with sniper, i used sniper way before this build was found

but sometimes you are on their head and still it counts either as a body shot either not counting at all

[full zinc]

What can you do. Nada.
But leaving a talent broken to make it way easier to keep the bonus is a sad argument to make.

[untold path]

ik but, instead of ruining the build their should be an "in between"

[full zinc]

The build was fine until determined released.
I could agree with determined counting a single bodyshot as a headshot. And even keeping headhunter proc. But chaining pretty much any shot is like putting the bumpers up at a bowling alley. Should just stick to story/normal if that's needed

You should need a follow up headshot to keep buffed and reproc determined.

[untold path]

True

But idk how Big the nerf will be

[full zinc]

If implemented correctly itll not reproc on the body shot.

Enjoy it while they figure it out though. I used it for all my league headshots, ez profit. It's an enjoyable talent atm 👍

Once they fix it I'll be back to mantis on my hh

[spark tendon]

sniper builds overall are kinda iffy for me

Yes they're obviously good for farming or just one shotting enemies overall, but the hit reg...

Ugh.

[torpid ore]

devs will literally do anything but fix crashes

love it

[untold path]

hit reg is the worst

[spark tendon]

Scoped weapons overall are a bit or miss

[untold path]

and idk if it's me, but depends on the time of the day and the load of the server, bullet speed seems to be different for the same sniper

[spark tendon]

Hit or miss*

Like, I would argue a unscoped sniper is better then a scoped sniper

[untold path]

like at midnight, there is like no travelling and instant hit, and sometimes during the day you need to pre aim

[spark tendon]

But my scope gives a hella ton of headshot dmg and I don't wanna sacrifice that

[untold path]

fr, i tried unscoped during nemesis event, and i feel like unscope is better but the +45% hs is damn good

but instead of fixing rdm crash, they do be fixing the only viable sniper build

[spark tendon]

Tbh all the weapons in this game should alr have insta travel

[untold path]

like fr, imma switch to an other build an forget sniper

[spark tendon]

You're usually fighting in close quarters

[untold path]

seing the speed diff of npc, true

[spark tendon]

And the max range I ever fought at was 100 meters or so

[untold path]

sometimes they have extremly weird moovement

[spark tendon]

My lord, problem with me is am used to tracking and firing ahead of the target when their moving

But that's usually 50/50 in this game

[untold path]

yeah same, but sometimes you need to fire ahead, sometimes you need to fire at the perfect moment and one day when it was laggy as heal, i needed to shoot behind wtf

[spark tendon]

Yeah

Unscoped weapons don't have this issue at all for some reason

It's like the game becomes a buggy and broken realistic MILSIM the moment you use the scope

[untold path]

true

i hope that the build will output the same damage even post nerf if you hit all hs

cuz then you will have to hit all the hs but still playable

if they nerf the hs part and the damage

[full zinc]

Determined just makes all shots crit headshots.
The damage boost comes from HH and whatever set you're using
It should still be good

[untold path]

i hope so

[broken solstice]

only perfect determined from relic and prophet give guaranteed crit headshots. determined just gives you a body shot that counts for a headshot

[full zinc]

Fair. But it's not boosting shots past the current potential without the talent in either case.

[broken solstice]

no,, determined doesnt do any damage other than the difference between a body shot and a headshot

[scenic vale]

Firewall spec. stage 3.... eliminate Bloodhound after applying a bleed... does this mean eliminate him while the bleed is in effect, or just eliminate him after a bleed?

[rare vapor]

lol sniper players, lol

[spark tendon]

only reason i play snipers is cause easy one shot easy farm

but hit reg refuses to work, so i'll just use the slow and painful way of striker build

[foggy oar]

Every cavalier piece dropping for me has blue attributes only 🤔

[spark tendon]

p sure thats intended...

cavalier is full on defensive support p sure

[foggy oar]

What is p and not core attributes I said attributes

[rare vapor]

[spark tendon]

pretty sure shortened

[foggy oar]

Wonderful

[spark tendon]

And yeah, some gear (in my own experiences) tend to roll only specific coloured attributes

[rare vapor]

[foggy oar]

Well that’s sucky

[spark tendon]

to be fair, cavalier is kinda for defensive purposes

though not being able to do hybrid builds defintely suck

what does cavalier do again? Armor buff to allies etc etc? I dont remember it well

[foggy oar]

Sure but it’d be nice to re roll with red core with chc or chd

[spark tendon]

lmfao...

[tender wave]

it's a probability thing - minor stats are more likely to drop the same colour as the core, but it's not guaranteed by any means

[spark tendon]

support cavalier with a CH or CH, thats funny

[foggy oar]

Don’t believe in all blue with no damage output. I believe in balance. Just my style of play

[spark tendon]

isnt that just your average Core Blue, CC/CH Attribute then?

[foggy oar]

The talent reduces incoming damage to you and other Allie’s. So yeah it’s nice to have chd and chc while out of cover since that’s the only way to build the buff

Also having that extra weapon damage isn’t a bad thing hence why having red attributes and a red core would be nice

[tender wave]

it only reduces incoming skill damage, so useful against rogues but not against most pve enemies

[foggy oar]

Damn I never fully read it 🥴 thanks lol

[pine harness]

What's the best skill?

hive? seeker mine?

[tender wave]

situation/build dependent

[spark tendon]

tbh, that really depends

[foggy oar]

PVP?

[pine harness]

nahh pve

[foggy oar]

Striker drone imo. It distracts the enemy

[undone timber]

If you're running dps then crusader shield/revive hive is very nice

[spark tendon]

pve very much still depends on ur build

maybe ur going status effect build, chem launchers would be a nice for that

Or just a build that lets ur skills do all the work, assault drone and turret works

[pine harness]

wdym about my build ?

[spark tendon]

what are you going for exactly

[pine harness]

im just a pve a guy that does alot of missions and mostly i play only with my AR

[spark tendon]

Am assuming you dont know what a build means hmm?

[undone timber]

Post your build at the minute over on build advice and you'll get better help

[pine harness]

nah not really bruh

[spark tendon]

Yeahhhh sorry, can't help much if I don't know what ya goin for

[gritty igloo]

is there a place to see my summit progress to 30 floors each week?

[spark tendon]

In that case you should really watch some videos about the builds on this game

Or go ask in #td2-build-advice

[undone timber]

It tracks on the project

[azure lintel]

Open map press whatever keys it tells you for projects
You can see it there

[foggy oar]

Go to projects find the project highlight over it and press the corresponding button to track it. It’ll stay at the top right of your screen

[gritty igloo]

[bitter wraith]

How do i reach level 40 from level 38 after castle clinton and killing all 4 keener targets?

[azure lintel]

Open world activities

Cps etc

[rare vapor]

WTF, my chestpiece and backpack keeps on changing everytime i change servers.

[bitter wraith]

So thats at least 12 territory controls/bounties etc

[tender wave]

side missions too

[bitter wraith]

Not enough of them

[tender wave]

projects (the liberation ones) too

[azure lintel]

Unfortunately if you solo you have to do some side stuff
Call for backup when doing wony runs

[azure lintel]

The apparence?
That's normal now

You can fix it with going into mods equipping and removing the first chest/backpack apparence
If this doesn't work just do it again and it will work the 2nd time

[foggy oar]

Talk about an annoying bug

Very stressful for a person with minor ocd lol

[turbid bluff]

ay i really need help, ive hit lvl 38 on the warlords area but i need two more level so 1.3 million xp to level up to lvl 40 and i have no idea of how to level up fast in manhattan, can someone help me?

cause control points only give 22k

[icy condor]

just to confirm I just got the nemesis blueprint the gun will drop for me on exotic caches and targeted loot now ryt?

[tender wave]

yes

I was with a player yesterday who got a nemesis from a summit cache, he had the blueprint but not the 3rd piece to craft it yet

[icy condor]

Thanks!

[turbid bluff]

can someone help me?

[tender wave]

just do side missions, CPs, and open world activities

there's no really quick xp farm at that stage

[turbid bluff]

ive done all side missions and i'd need to do 70 cps to get two levels

sooo yea am fucked

[tender wave]

nah, definitely doesn't take that many CPs, I've done it myself a few times

you can do the liberation projects too, that helps

everyone who's ever played through WONY solo (which is most of us I suspect)

[turbid bluff]

ik but like, its 600k for a level, and cp gives 22k

800k*

[azure lintel]

You aren't watch level you don't need 700000xp to level and even if you do its nowhere near 70 cps lol

[turbid bluff]

bro i need like 500k xp to get from level 38 to 39 im desperate lmao

[azure lintel]

Go in lfg or call for backup
That's your best bet it's going to take like 30mins max

[turbid bluff]

k tysm

[tender wave]

run a couple of CPs and see how much it helps (bear in mind you get kill xp and the bonus xp from the various perks like headshot kills)

[turbid bluff]

oh yea i forgot bout that

just saw that projects also give 110k

[strong owl]

I want play tdr so bad …

[fiery cloud]

Hey Kettle

[tender wave]

hey Saph

ooh, my first crash of the season, though maybe I was fixed for good

(excluding occasional process hangs on startup)

[cyan zodiac]

what happened to vc?

[broken solstice]

erased. never existed. what vc

[tender wave]

they decided it was a potential legal problem due to lack of moderation, so offloaded the problem (most people go to the community discord)

[cyan zodiac]

damn im banned from there

[tender wave]

I guess try the GCRock one then

[cyan zodiac]

yeah im okay with him so i suppose thats the new place

[pine harness]

how is a cmmg banshee

[mental pilot]

finished Warlords main campaign. Slightly better than the main campaign but still the story/writing is so bad. At least the missions were slightly better

last three trophies for 100%

[azure lintel]

I have a question:
Is it possible to do raids if I don't have a mic/headset?

I want to start one raid, but I would not be able to communicate.

[mental pilot]

I'd suggest watch some videos to be familiar with tactics and you can you the ingame matchmaker

finished both raids like that

[surreal orbit]

Matchmaking is typically the discovery raids and there are no exotics or base materials. If they do game chat then you can at least hear them, which is beneficial for directions….

[mental pilot]

holy **, the game is unlocking so much end-game content now? Not sure what to do first. That's a pleasant surprise

[zinc shadow]

this guy doesn’t know about global events

[small spear]

you have the Guardian GE turned on, to turn off go to ESC menu > seasons > global event Guardian > press F to deactivate

[fiery cloud]

Hey Buddha

[nocturne cypress]

How much shd points does it take to buy out enough mods for printer filaments to donate for proficiency

[azure lintel]

is it just me or are the ubisoft servers out ?, I can't log into my td2 profile

[nocturne cypress]

Just you

Try resetting the game

Or look for update

[azure lintel]

ah, yea, relaunched the game and it's all good now

[nocturne cypress]

Glad to help

[neat fog]

New to the discord.
How easy is it to find a squad for a raid?
New comers welcome?
I'm not new to division but only done the raids on discovery.
Ps5

[astral jacinth]

What is Tuesdays season activity?

[hybrid ore]

@neat fog Just ask down in #lfg-raid-console, although it's important to make sure that you know how they work and have a decent build.

The folks over in #td2-raid-discussions will be happy to help you out with details.

[iron adder]

descent reconstructed cache gave me a white death but no blueprint, is it a bug?

[hybrid ore]

Named Items don't give you a blueprint, just the Named Item.
Exotic items are the ones where you can buy the BP afterwards.

[iron adder]

but you are supposed to get blueprints from descent somehow

[earnest lava]

You do get the blueprint

it just doesnt show it for some reason

if you go to the crafting station you'll see a notification that you got a new one

so yeah must be a bug, its happened to me and almost everyone else but does indeed give you it

I also saw a youtuber talking about the same thing yesterday

[hybrid ore]

Wait, so they added blueprints for all Named Items, or am I reading that wrong.

[neat fog]

Thanks bud

[earnest lava]

Its for the reconstruction cache that you open

they are always suppose to come with a blueprint to my knowledge which they do, but it doesnt show it in the loot feed along with the named item

[iron adder]

https://imgur.com/a/LAzRrOd

[earnest lava]

how it would normally show up if you were to get one from a control point for example

it doesnt do that with the caches when opening, and causes confusion

[tender wave]

not all named items but some (including some DZ exclusives)

[earnest lava]

The Gift, Picaro, Emperor Guard are some i can confirm ive gotten

[iron adder]

It doesn't show up at the bench. I have video of it so I will submit a support ticket

[earnest lava]

very weird, ill send you the video where the same thing happened to the youtuber too, maybe can add that to the ticket

but the youtuber did get it, said his bench had no notifications then after he got the gift blueprint when he went to it

[hybrid ore]

What an odd idea.
I guess it's nice if you really hate farming Named Item caches.

[earnest lava]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3rRO9MwJAXk&t=474s

thats the video antour

he got devils due and a few others too actually

[tropic compass]

Now that i know how to kill nemesis descent is somewhat fun

[mental pilot]

what exactly do I need to do for Extreme Manhunt trophy? Most of the guys are a few years old

[earnest lava]

no clue how to

[tropic compass]

If I remember you need to complete the final manhunt target on challenging above

[mental pilot]

if I understand it correctly, I need to first complete those 4 mini-bosses to get intel. By the looks of it Targe: John Yazzie just ended. Does it mean I need to wait for a whole new season?

[tropic compass]

You can complete any of the mini bosses anytime

[hollow horizon]

hello, I have 3 orange bars on the left side of the exp bar. I have googled it for hours. There is no info, does some one knows?

[hybrid ore]

It's a glitch, they're meant to vanish.

[hollow horizon]

oh ok, it adds a bar everytime i finish a task

thanks

I see, i loggeed back in and they're gone. Now mission progress is back to normal

[warped knoll]

Have the 1 shot pistol builds been nerfed or something?

[hardy wraith]

are there any minimalist hunters that carry close to no gear

[mental pilot]

I guess I'm blind/dumb but I have no idea what exactly I should do right now to work on: Complete a Seasonal Manhunt mission on Challenge difficulty or above.

when I open the Manhunt menu, it's all locked (Missing intel)

[bitter wraith]

Servers gone kaboom again?

[hybrid ore]

@mental pilot In the Season Pass, it lists the Manhunt missions that you can replay.
once you have one unlocked, go to the mission location and "toggle mission mode" until it says "Manhunt".

[bitter wraith]

Nope just my internet lmao

[primal urchin]

I need clan who actually play

[hybrid ore]

Try looking down in #td2-clan-recruitment

[mental pilot]

the only options I have available there now are "John League" and "Guardians". Everything else is "Coming soon". If I open the further menu "Manhunt". Everything is locked there. No hostage mission is playable. I've missed one and the next one is available in 1d11h (these are the missions I need to play?)

[hybrid ore]

Okay as I said, go to your Season Pass menu, and see which of the Manhunts are unlocked via that.
the current Manhunt is not finished yet and thus will not count.

[mental pilot]

I think I'm starting to understand. So even if I missed one of the intel missions, others may eventually open the final Manhunt for me as well?

[hybrid ore]

You can replay the final mission of a previous Manhunt once you have unlocked it via the Season Pass.
this is what you need to do in order to get the Achievment you're looking for.

[mental pilot]

for example the one that says "permanently unlocks Season 11 manhunt mission"? At level 48

that looks like it's a reward for the Premium level of SP

[nocturne cypress]

Why was cavalier reverted back to skill damage? @hybrid ore

[safe notch]

@primal urchin wdym client?

also i didnt mean to reply to ur message sorry about that

[hybrid ore]

@nocturne cypress I'd assume balancing issues, but not a dev so no actual clue.

[mossy arch]

Could you ACTUALLY fix this damn FRAGILE armor directive?

Or just remove it completely!

Untill you will realize how to fix it

It is broken for more than 1 year already!

Reported numerous of times

And it is still in the game and sometimes you can't even turn it off - it just enabled by default!

[lone valve]

If it stayed all damage reduction it would become the new meta tank build lol on pve

[nocturne cypress]

Then why not reduce the reduction instead of making it basically obsolete

[copper shoal]

They just need to rename the description on Fragile armor. and keep it as it is now. I always have that directive active, becomes more of a challenge then.

[mossy arch]

They should 'fix' all bugs in the same way: instead of actual fix, change desc to make like it is intended behavior 🤣

[primal urchin]

@safe notch I meant clan I can't spell

[safe notch]

Ah alright

[long thorn]

determined 😆

[opal radish]

broken talent with reanimated even makes a joke of the game 😂 😂

[frozen meadow]

determined isnt rly broken

[opal radish]

why do you think so ?

[frozen meadow]

no damage increase

still does less damage than other talents

[opal radish]

u can solo legendary with this talent + chainkiller

[frozen meadow]

you can also do it without determined lol?

[opal radish]

yeah done it

but it is cheesy

with and without it

I have cleared legendary

[frozen meadow]

yeah so i wouldnt call it broken since it doesnt really change any aspect of the game

[opal radish]

yeah true

[frozen meadow]

and its not stupid overpowered enough to alter any form of meta

[opal radish]

but after some time I got bored of it

[frozen meadow]

since again it still does less damage than ranger, optimist, etc.

[opal radish]

I used WD without a scope with determind and chain killer just to try it 😂 😂

[frozen meadow]

i bounce between scoped and unscoped

[opal radish]

there is no good scope for that to do both u scope because u want to magnify 3.4 is low

minimum I like is X8 togglable scope

[frozen meadow]

what

8x isnt toggleable lol

[opal radish]

yeah

but I want one

[frozen meadow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

i just use digital scope

[opal radish]

to be able to toggle scope why didn't think if making scope toggle 🥲

[opal radish]

the sharpshooter one?

[frozen meadow]

yes

[opal radish]

it is good and the magnification comes in handy

determind talent may or may not broken but the combo sure is broken

[frozen meadow]

not really

[warped knoll]

Urgent question as I’m trying to make a 1 hit pistol build: are then any high end sets that have headshot dmg as the first bonus??

[frozen meadow]

its just a cope for bad aim

[frozen meadow]

habsburg and providence

[opal radish]

and prpvidence

[warped knoll]

Gem

[opal radish]

use d&h 1pcs bonus

[frozen meadow]

no just use punch drunk lol

[opal radish]

that is D&H 😂 😂

[warped knoll]

Already got it on I wanna ramp it

[frozen meadow]

yes i know

[warped knoll]

Just need a holster

[opal radish]

If u want to make 1 hit pistol build try headhunters fury build

[warped knoll]

I don’t have a d50 w determined, it’s next on the list

[frozen meadow]

dodge city

[opal radish]

what wepon do u have tha

[small spear]

the sheet has a page for "Regulus Headhunter", you can take a look at it, has HF and meta high end variant

[opal radish]

than*

regulus>>D50>prophet

[small spear]

you can aim for the high end setup in that page

[frozen meadow]

best sidearm is kard custom change my mind

[opal radish]

as a support yes but for damage no

[frozen meadow]

i said best

[warped knoll]

Yeah but you gotta build it up w dodge

[opal radish]

Regulua Best for damage change my mind 😂 😂

[frozen meadow]

just overall best

[opal radish]

u don't need for reds at least with regulus

[opal radish]

-damage yes I agree

[warped knoll]

I’m preparing a build for when I get it next week

[frozen meadow]

the thing is, no matter what build you put it on its useful

[opal radish]

kard custom on sale at countdown pick it up

if u don't have it a PvP exclusive item

but 3 copies

[frozen meadow]

why 3

there is zero reason to have 3

[opal radish]

well I keep 3 with different talents

[frozen meadow]

why do you need that

[opal radish]

1 with sledgehammer/finisher/insync

[frozen meadow]

why

[opal radish]

it is useful

[frozen meadow]

im concerned if you think thats useful

[opal radish]

can u argue that sledgehammer/finisher are not useful talent ?

I keep both for different builds

[warped knoll]

Specific vendor?

[opal radish]

countdown vendor

[warped knoll]

Cool

[opal radish]

buy at least 1

sledgehammer in healer/support build

finisher on dps builds

[sick thicket]

Any recommendations on 5 directive open world farming, or simply don't bother and only do 3-4

Tried hotshot, determined etc. Sniping is too slow for me

Maybe ongoing directive for hollowpoint ammo?

[scenic vale]

Trying to farm elite scorchers and going after Wildfire on Roosevelt Island. Made the mistake of using Pestilence and kill all the enemies. How can I start the mission over? I keep trying to go back to the beginning but it teleports me to Wildfire's completed area

[inner elbow]

If you're doing this below Heroic difficulty, commit unalive before you reach the next area. Alternatively if you want to reset your mission, open map, select mission icon and hold G for mission settings

[scenic vale]

👍

[mint plaza]

@dozin blue striker chd/memento/ceska chest with unbreakable/gunner spec/Vector w/ Fast Hands/Scorpio. Works in legendary too if you're into that kind of thing

[hollow heart]

is that just my RNG?

[frozen meadow]

You did not have to hash that message

[torpid plume]

I think you have to open it first

[hollow heart]

i did open 50 or more... not getting anything

[frozen meadow]

F

[hollow heart]

i just wanna know if any of u got .

[torpid plume]

Nahh before everyone else

I stay getting them

[hollow heart]

ok good

[frozen meadow]

I farm CD for exos

[torpid plume]

You should hash some more messages

[frozen meadow]

Please do not

For the love of god do not

[hollow heart]

what is hash?

[hybrid ore]

I'm honestly concerned that's not auto blocked.
I need to bring this up with someone.

[frozen meadow]

It's when you did that big text thing

[frozen meadow]

Yes please do it's so goddamn annoying

[little raptor]

Anyone gotten the st elmo from summit or countdown after getting it from the season reward

[hollow heart]

oh its just for me to see better.

[frozen meadow]

I've gotten it from exo caches

[hollow heart]

my glasses 😄 need to get new 1's

[frozen meadow]

You can zoom in discord on desktop

Lol

[hollow heart]

well thanks for being nice every1

[frozen meadow]

Btw your pfp is amazing I love otters

[hollow heart]

thanks 🙂

[frozen meadow]

Squeaky

[hollow heart]

i remember you telling me that before 🙂

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[solid iris]

Im a moron and deleted st elmos when i was trying to craft it 😦 How do i reaquire it?

[frozen meadow]

Get it from a cache or something

[solid iris]

is that really the only way? F...might as well not even try

[frozen meadow]

Idk it might drop in targeted loot but idk

[hollow heart]

when you play with players let them know u need it, (on weekly legendary and so on)

[hybrid ore]

Once it's obtained via the Season Pass (or a Season is over), the drop is added to Targeted Loot.
So farming TL: [assault rifle] on Challening or higher is your best bet.

[solid iris]

Thanks, feel like a complete idiot. sucks

[hollow heart]

we all make mistakes, its gonna be ok, u will get it again.

🦦

[little raptor]

@solid iris I deleted mine to on accident lol

[plush otter]

has there been any verified TL drops of elmo yet ?, as that its in TL after getting it in season isnt something that they have correctly done for several items of the seasons

[hybrid ore]

I've heard some people asking that question, but at this point I've not heard enough complaining that it doesn't work for me to suspect that it's fine.

[steel ermine]

whats the best way to get my hands on ninjabike as a returning player, just been running countdown for exotic caches so far

[solid iris]

how do you get exotic caches in countdown ?

[frozen meadow]

You spend the CD requisition at the cd vendor

[steel ermine]

buy them with currency

[hollow heart]

he get currency to buy exotic box's

[hybrid ore]

I think they got the message.

[plush otter]

its still unclear if it actually is in targeted loot pool, but datamining has shown they have atleast tried to fix ninja bike to be in TL with the start of this season,
so likely it is currently farmable with backpack TL without prerequisites, but isnt confirmed completely yet,
it can definitely come from exotic caches at full random rates

[hollow heart]

u can do flor 10 at the summit with target loot on bag's. and after u kill boss u go to lobby, and go in again to kill boss, and so on.

[steel ermine]

i had tried countdsonw targetted backpacks, but ended up with 4 memetos =\

[plush otter]

normally summit gear farm is better done on floor 90 with 3 bosses, also arguably countdown will compete as you also get exo caches out of it for extra chances

[hollow sinew]

What's "TODO: GearSet Q Mask"?
A legacy bug item?

[kind veldt]

buggy gear

[reef reef]

Just a gear item that was left in the database. Safe to get rid of.

[hollow sinew]

do you just destroy it and won't get you banned, right?

[hollow sinew]

thanks

[kind veldt]

sadly not a cool bug as ermac

[frozen meadow]

It won't get you banned at all lol

[reef reef]

A lot of people have been having those drop.

[kind veldt]

sadly breaking it down doesnt give you bugged mats

would be funny to have unique mats for crafting the next gear set

[lone valve]

You can use it to have invisible gear pieces

[frozen meadow]

But the gearset is TODO

[lone valve]

The only use for it

[cold shoal]

Just got an all red henri to drop out of countdown😎

[broken solstice]

damnnn

[cold shoal]

Right lol. And just wondering if anyone is noticing some insane dmg in countdown? As an example....I was just in running my typical HB/vigilance build, 3 blue/3 red hitting and I was hitting 2.3 milli crits on a kingbreaker🤔 I hit hard stacked up, but never like that. And it was often lol. Like I had to pause for a sec to make sure I was reading it right. Straight melting

[hollow sinew]

all red as crit chance/dmg? nice

[frozen meadow]

i was about to ask lol

[cold shoal]

Yup😎

I said that wrong lol. Just realized that lol

[hollow sinew]

ya, some ppl did some testing that it seem it give you more dmg (more then 20% weapon dmg) output and it stack with the backpack

[cold shoal]

Bro I was melting. It was sick. Ive never seen it hit like that. And I run countdown a lot lol

[vocal jasper]

hello team! quick question 🙂 how i lvl up the expertise?

[hollow sinew]

does global event enable in countdown? if so, that might be why you got the extra dmg.

[cold shoal]

Nah no global

Thats only open world and missions etc...not countdown

I'm about to go back in and see if it does it again but obviously with a different team. I can't figure it out though. Its awesome though lol

[ivory sedge]

Is there a website to track rogues?

[hybrid ore]

Track them in what way? Like, the people that go Rogue?
No, that's not a thing that needs to be tracked.

[cold shoal]

I was wondering the same thing

Why do you want to track them

[hybrid ore]

Anyone can go Rogue and undo it in the DZ.
It's a dangerous place, and is meant to be a dangerous place. Luckily you don't need to go there in order to farm pretty much anything.

[ivory sedge]

That’s the thing😭 I wanna find an active DZ server nd manhunt

[hybrid ore]

Try asking down in #lfg-playstation, joining a #td2-clan-recruitment that specialises in it, or just getting lucky in the DZ itself.

[cold shoal]

Just go in and kill some people...itll lite the server up if anyone is in there. theyll come around if you make enough noise lol

[frozen meadow]

theres a buff that amplifies damage to enemies within i think 15m

[cold shoal]

if thats the case its the first time I've ever seen it used to make me hit that hard lol. Im in right now again doing the same thing. its crazy

[frozen meadow]

Yeah it's the countermeasure

[cold shoal]

then why have I never hit this hard before. the build hasn't changed. this isn't my first time

[worldly veldt]

if i have eagle bearer already can i get another through playing countdown?

like is it in my common loot pool

[cold shoal]

DZ or raids only

[raw geyser]

😔 another day,another session of me playing Div-2, another crash like 20 minutes in

[vocal jasper]

put dx12 off:)

[raw geyser]

but i have a 4090 DX-11/DX-12 shouldnt matter

[hybrid ore]

Game is from 2019, how new your card is doesn't matter.

[vocal jasper]

if it matters, because the truth is that the dx12 never worked well

[plush otter]

dx12 work fine for allot of people and gives better frame times and less stutters if you push the settings, it can be unstable for some, and something that you should toggle to try if it helps with crash amounts, but to say it never works well is plain wrong.

[vocal jasper]

They are counted on the fingers that the dx12 works without any problem, they don't throw flowers at it but meh

The only thing that occurs to me could also be the local network? by having micro cuts?

[plush otter]

still works for those, and they will not benefit from the way you gave that advice, the point still stands.
also current dx12 stability is allot better than even a few months ago, which im going to guess you havent even tried. last few patches all brought fixes to common dx12 crash sources

[vocal jasper]

Yes I tried it and nothing the same random crashes either in the open world or in the safe house 🙂

[azure lintel]

I often find that I don't see the indicator for voip ingame when talking. And not sure if people can hear me sometimes, then they say they can. Any ideas?

[torn spoke]

Heard new expansion is coming, that true?

[astral nacelle]

am I blind or is there no targeted loot for negotiator's dilemma?

[kind veldt]

for season 4 there will be a new map expansion, i think they mentioned brooklyn

[torn spoke]

Damn, I wanted new sets, "dungeons", stuff like that

[surreal orbit]

To many items, not enough locations…. Sometimes you don’t see what you want, but there is always summit and countdown….

[kind veldt]

well who know what is coming alongside it

prob more main missions and so far every season has a new set so it will also have that

i just want my Pistol & Rifle gear set so i can play as a cowboy

and of course a poncho cosmedic, i mean our character has the nickname of sheriff on the board

[azure lintel]

Yes, a new DLC - I think it's in Lower Manhatten.

[willow gale]

@reef reef You are the best.

[reef reef]

Just doin my job, dont worry about it.

[raw silo]

Yo do you need the Blueprint for the Ninja bike messenger bag to get it from caches?

[kind veldt]

believe so, i think you get the blueprint in the next season level after the item

for both exotics now i think

[ember jewel]

does dx12 renderer make the game more heavy that cause cpu and gpu work more heavy?

[raw silo]

i didnt get it during the season, so how do i farm for it? just bash my head against the summit?

[ember jewel]

after i update my driver to latest (536.23) my notebook seems getting hotter and the battery drain more faster than using 562.xx driver

[kind veldt]

oh yeah right it's from the previous season my bad, thought it was from this one. Yeah it should be on default loot pool supposedly

[raw silo]

im just really unlucky i guess, 300 floors in the summit and no bag

[opal radish]

use some other power profile on notebook

they can have an effect on cooling try limiting fps

[ember jewel]

still same using performance and max speed fans

[opal radish]

use balanced

[ember jewel]

on windows just using balanced mode

[opal radish]

u use driver from OEM website or nvidia?

[ember jewel]

geforce experience

[opal radish]

use OEM driver from notebook vendor

they are stable and Target the specific model

[ember jewel]

but from version 526.xx i download from nvidia website

[opal radish]

I know sometime the nvidia driver don't work well if that is the problem reroll to previous version

[ember jewel]

aight then

[opal radish]

on notebooks I got faulty driver update from nvidia update had to reroll and than they published the fix

[ember jewel]

guess time to reroll from 536.23 to 526.86

[azure lintel]

I always knew that this game crashes a bit but I have not seen it crash in a menu 5 seconds after opening it.... interesting

[soft knoll]

This game engine has had issues since Div 1.. if your playing PC its a norm by this point. lol

[vale ledge]

I really suspect the crashes are due to ubisoft connect

[soft knoll]

I understand the need for internal developer engines for franchises due to costs, but Snowdrop really does need some love, whether from 3rd party issues or not.

[vale ledge]

some protocol mismatch or fault that is not caught and debugged

the crashes didn't happen on consoles, tho there are other issues

[grizzled nymph]

@latent plover find people here

[soft knoll]

Good point really. Maybe devs will get over having their own Launcher and ditch the asinine practice.

[vale ledge]

Also, there are some anti-cheat/DRM stuff, which may actually cause crashes also

[oak prawn]

Crashes are also due to the games code

[vale ledge]

infact, i found that the ubisoft connect + the anti-cheat is causing low GPU utilisation for TD2, until i rebooted my PC

not sure what happened really, can't find the exact process that hooked the PC resources

[oak prawn]

Games code is also wacked somewhere iirc

[vale ledge]

didn't crash once on console, tho it did for a while for a short time

[soft knoll]

Im all for having a back end to keep the games up to date, and connect us to others in a multiplayer environment, its why I liked Gamespy back in the day. But if it interferes with actual gameplay stability and performance.. its not worth it, find an alternate route.

[vale ledge]

on the back-end there are other issues

gotten kicked off from the server, for no apparent reason

[soft knoll]

Instability of servers is always an issue.. its why I prefer dedicated servers.

[marble sluice]

Noob question: I’m trying to unlock Yazzie but it’s saying missing intel on the map.. anybody know what this means?

[vale ledge]

dunno, i'm used to MMO (guild wars 2), these kind of issues i can tolerate kinda

[soft knoll]

Constant connection and disconnection from mass amounts of players does change this, true. But still most the problems we the player has had have been going on for years now. Its kind of ridiculous by this point lol

[vale ledge]

well, lets see how Starfield crashes my experience...

[marble sluice]

Anybody?

[vale ledge]

@marble sluice you need to find the train tracks right?

search the map for bounties

[soft knoll]

Train tracks, do bounties for a "Train"

[marble sluice]

Ok thnx a bunch guys

[soft knoll]

Its a fun fight enjoy!

[oak prawn]

Fun it was fun for me

Gunrunner this week sucks

She is selling nothing good

[lone valve]

Daily reset is tmrw mate don't worry

[oak prawn]

Thank God

Target 2 drops tmrw as well

[lone valve]

I'd hope they say smth about the apparel event today aswell

[oak prawn]

I hope so too its 1 of the better 1s imo

[lone valve]

(it also gives me an excuse to mindlessly grind)

[oak prawn]

Don't SP holders get 2 or 3 extra keys on top of the freebie?

[lone valve]

Yea smth like that

[soft knoll]

Wait.. they are giving SP holders a reason to be SP holders?

(Surprised pika face)

[oak prawn]

They have always done that with previous Seasom passes you own the pass you get extra keys

[soft knoll]

Eh... when it worked. lol

[oak prawn]

Though I don't like how it's every 4 levels you earn a key

Should be every 2

[lone valve]

They want you to spend a good amount of time grinding for the apparel

[soft knoll]

A season pass, that is paid for by additional money, should be way more incentive, but thats just me.

[oak prawn]

Or people could just spend real money and get it that way

[soft knoll]

Cosmetics for gear, weapons, or just general clothing would be a start. Id even like pure cosmetic gear sets, that are a full set on all skills along with weapons, gear, clothing would be nice for a change.

[lone valve]

You mean cosmetics for gear and weapons that they already offer in the premium track?

[soft knoll]

I mean FULL sets...

[lone valve]

2 outfits this season that are also on the premium track

[soft knoll]

not just a AR skin.. or maybe a backpack... I mean a complete set for ALL gear and skills.

[oak prawn]

If they add a duck uniform I'm coping

I can be agent quackers

[lone valve]

The only skin vanity stuff is the pre order or y1 pass stuff
I don't think they want to devote time to make skins for skills

[soft knoll]

Spread the love to everything in the game, not whats popular.

Dont want to devote what they themselves made modable? (See my issue?)

They gave us the ability to change "vanity" on skills.. but we have so few

[lone valve]

I don't see how skins for skills would make me more motivated to buy the premium track

[soft knoll]

one for example

The choice to set the player apart from others.

The point of cosmetics yeah?

[lone valve]

Skins for skills is smth barely anyone talks about anymore or asks for

The demand for it is low

[oak prawn]

What ever happened to the splinter cell outfit Cruz?

[lone valve]

It's there?

It's on the premium track

[oak prawn]

I didn't see it when I checked

[lone valve]

All the pieces are there

[storm bridge]

So at this point is the apparel event timer not a placeholder then lol?

[oak prawn]

What level do you start getting the pieces

[lone valve]

Hopefully smth today
Some info

[soft knoll]

The more ability to separate the lackluster appearance of our Agents from others should be a win, no matter how big or small is all im saying. And yeah im sure im in a minority on this.

[oak prawn]

They need to work on fixing the current issues atm there's a few

[willow gale]

Anyone tried New Exotic weapon?

[lone valve]

I don't think our agents look lackluster tbh
I have like 13 apparel loadouts

[storm bridge]

Drip is all I play games for

[oak prawn]

It's good

[oak prawn]

I have 12

[storm bridge]

I didn't realize there were apparel loadouts x_x

[soft knoll]

13....need I remind you of how limited that is in contrast to the THOUSANDS of people who play the game lol

[willow gale]

Any specific gear?

what is the talent?

[storm bridge]

Strikers + coyote + ceska

[knotty quail]

Div1 fashion was way better imo

[storm bridge]

Hard disagree there. Div1 fashion was just jackets and beanies

[lone valve]

Div 1 fashion was also winter tbh

[oak prawn]

Div 1 had those masks you had to grind for and I liked that

[lone valve]

Completely different style

The masks they did better

[knotty quail]

At least the clothes fit properly

[oak prawn]

True

[knotty quail]

And you could wear a hat with a mask

Unlike here, at least for most masks

[oak prawn]

Granted thr div1 apperal was limited compared to div2

[knotty quail]

I still think it looked better

[oak prawn]

I agree

[knotty quail]

Plus I like winter clothes anyway so

[lone valve]

I disagree tbh
I prefer div 2 apparel
There's more variety

[knotty quail]

Too bad none of it really fits together

[oak prawn]

1000s of different combos

[knotty quail]

There's always clipping or exposed necks

[storm bridge]

Div 1 you grind your ass off for a pom pom beanie so you can look like a slightly different variation of hipster

[soft knoll]

Its a looter shooter, yes, but its still an MMO. Diverse attire should never be limited to less a few dosen outfits. But on the other hand this game has a lot of other performance and internal issues that take priority that will most likely nerver be fixed so its hard for me to argue wanting more knowing the core game engine is still needing work before we reach that level.

A man can dream dammit! lol

[storm bridge]

Only thing I miss from Div 1 are single strap backpacks

[lone valve]

Level 69 (😏)

[soft knoll]

Giggity

[oak prawn]

Bad quagmire

Bad

[soft knoll]

slaps desk Never a bad quagmire!

[oak prawn]

No giggitying allowed

[knotty quail]

Same

[soft knoll]

👉 👈 😑

[knotty quail]

Plus the backpacks in this game just seem so chonky

[oak prawn]

They are so big

[knotty quail]

I feel like Div1 backpacks looked way slimmer

[storm bridge]

It kinda depends on the backpack

I just wish I could hide secondary weapon

I wanna bring an ACS but it so THICK

[knotty quail]

The only backpack I use now is the Airaldi one

[soft knoll]

I feel the scale is off on some. I own a Rush24 but it is no where near as large as whats ingame

[lone valve]

There's a specific one
The hotshot backpack that is very slim and sleek I love it

[knotty quail]

It's pretty sleak

[oak prawn]

I did darpa lab all white heroic took me 3 and a half hours but I did it

[storm bridge]

Hana u backpack is also fairly compact

[knotty quail]

I also used Gila backpack for some time

[soft knoll]

But our agent may be a shmall person so.. who knows the scale they are using

[knotty quail]

It had that futuristic look I liked atm

[storm bridge]

Although single strap backpacks clipped way harder

just by their nature

[knotty quail]

I don't remember clipping tbh

Or I just didn't pay attention

[storm bridge]

it depended on the vest I think

[knotty quail]

I had a jacket on so most of my vest was covered

[storm bridge]

Overall I just prefer the military drip of Div 2 over the secret agent hipster™️ of div 1

[soft knoll]

Thats pretty accurate.. lol

[knotty quail]

Some military grip this game has

[lone valve]

The JTF set easy

[storm bridge]

Hunters are just division but cool

[oak prawn]

I miss div1 where you had random civies running around

[small talon]

yo i need help what am i supposed to do if i "finished" the game

[oak prawn]

Work on your build level up your watch

Goof around

Do leg content

Help people

Get your expertise to level 23

[small talon]

thanks i was just so lost

[storm bridge]

Help people seperate from their belongings in DZ

Make new builds

[small talon]

nah getting my ass handed there hahaha

[soft knoll]

And I run around in this on the daily 😅 #divashion

[oak prawn]

I don't trust anyone in the dz especially my own teammates

DZ is a ffa pretty much especially the invaded 1

Every agent for themselves

[storm bridge]

I usually make 1 friend

And then kill everyone else

[spark tendon]

DZ is untrustworthy lol

[oak prawn]

Yea but that 1 friend could betray you at at anytime

[spark tendon]

Last time I ran into 5+ players workin together in a group to clear landmarks, immediately ran away

What happens after? Manhunts go out ringing

[storm bridge]

If he's in my group Ill know if he's about to betray me

[spark tendon]

Definitely was a good idea

[oak prawn]

There are a few rules to follow in the DZ

1. Don't trust anyone
2. Always watch your back

If you see someone acting weird you pop em

[spark tendon]

Hmmm, I still need to optimize my build properly to go kill players in DZ

[oak prawn]

I hate the players who just camp at the entrances

[spark tendon]

They do that???

[oak prawn]

Especially in the invaded dzs where the spawn turrets are disabled

[oak prawn]

Yea they do

[spark tendon]

Also how does someone get their expertise level to 23?

[oak prawn]

Donate gear and weapons

[spark tendon]

Same gear and weapons?

[stuck musk]

u can also donate printer filament

[oak prawn]

Just play CD a bunch of times and donate whatever you get

[storm bridge]

Just stop scrapping/selling gear

mark it all as junk and mass donate

[spark tendon]

Wait, so you can just donate any kinda junk and it'll work?

[stuck musk]

yes

[storm bridge]

You'll work towards expertise just doing this one simple trick. (Black Tusk Hates Him)

[stuck musk]

then scrap the remaining

thats what i usually do

[spark tendon]

It doesn't need to be the same gear??

[stuck musk]

no

[storm bridge]

It does

[stuck musk]

u can only donate police m4 into police m4

[spark tendon]

now that's good to know

[stuck musk]

same for gear

u have to donate ceska into ceska

[oak prawn]

Skils are a different story

[stuck musk]

named weapons into named weapons

[spark tendon]

Wait, does expertise exist on exotics?

[stuck musk]

yes

[spark tendon]

So... Exotic into exotic..

[stuck musk]

so u just donate printer filament into exotic slots

[storm bridge]

You can also donate resources. I think once you've finished donating everything for gear that is easy to farm you just donate printer filament from dismantling mods towards stuff like exotics/specializations/skills

[spark tendon]

ah

I see, aight then

Good to know, very much thanks

[storm bridge]

Countdown is a good way to get a bunch of gear including named items, since named items have their own proficiency

[oak prawn]

Basically just play CD and donate whatever u get

[spark tendon]

Am out here grinding for Fenris, Season Levels, SHD Levels, Expertise and Countdown requisition at the same time
:Pro:

Multi tasking fr

[spark tendon]

Ight got it

[oak prawn]

SHD levels best bet is to do open world heroic with as many directives as possible

[spark tendon]

Alr do that, but it's still slow af

I would need a sniper build, but scoped rifles are buggy af

[oak prawn]

I do open world with 4 directives active

[spark tendon]

I should just use my striker build tbh but that's extremely slow

[oak prawn]

You need to build up stacks with strikers

That's why I love a all yellow build

[jolly stag]

🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 EP

[storm bridge]

What's your striker's build look like?

[full zinc]

Striker should be too tier for damage...and negotiators

[storm bridge]

Strikers is top tier with the right weapons

[spark tendon]

It's slow because its still unoptimized and I suck at utilizing cover properly

[storm bridge]

Yeah but what is the actual setup

[full zinc]

Tbh it doesnt take much to grind out CPs

Could even use a skill turret/drone afk build

[spark tendon]

It's somewhere in #td2-build-advice , but it's coyotes mask, grupo chest and the rest striker

[stuck musk]

good enough tbh

[spark tendon]

Am gonna change it to Fenris Chest, Picaros Holster then rest striker

[storm bridge]

What weapon are you using?

[stuck musk]

better to have either ceska or grupo with coyotes

[spark tendon]

P416??? Custom one? I forgor

[stuck musk]

thats fine too? but id suggest c7 or police m4

[full zinc]

What's the chc chd on build

[spark tendon]

i had a police M4 but it had bad rolls

[full zinc]

Famas is top damage

[spark tendon]

SHD is still low, so my watch doesn't do much, 57 crit chance 96% crit dmg

[stuck musk]

lack of range has turned me away for higher difficulties

[stuck musk]

u can lower the crit chance for more crit dmg

[small spear]

as ferror said, you really should get ceska and grupo/coyote to supplement your crit over using fenris+picaro

[full zinc]

I would keep it high tbh

[spark tendon]

I would have more crit dmg if I had watch or Elmo's Engine

[full zinc]

You'll get there

Chc > chd

[spark tendon]

Ehhh weapon damage would be better because it's not on chance, and CRIT dmg goes off weapon dmg as well

[small spear]

no, the value you get from weapon damage is heavily diminished since you get a lot of it already (weapon, watch, specialization, red cores)

[spark tendon]

Really?

[small spear]

crit in comparison is a much rarer multiplier to get

[spark tendon]

Well I guess I'll just keep my original build

[spark tendon]

Tbf, am gonna have 4 of my cores on Armor

[small spear]

weapon damage becomes more worth it once you do trade red for blue cores

[stuck musk]

why tf
