[hollow obsidian]

Challenging is great for it, but the enemies are harder than normal open world challenging. But if you have good gear then you’re good.

[small spear]

yes

[bitter wraith]

Riot works on nemesis?? Guess I know how I'm going to get revenge on him then

[small spear]

yes riot foam works on him, but like any boss it has reduced duration

[willow gale]

I cannot see any voice channels. are those channels removed?

[small spear]

but having enough damage means you can just melt him away during that time

[bitter wraith]

Shotguns are BROKEN in descent when every talent you select is vigilance, optimist and composure and you have them all on tier 4 or 5

[bitter wraith]

True

[urban shale]

Asoon as I played countdown I got the weapon i wanted . Thank you

[hollow obsidian]

Awesome! What did you play it on?

[urban shale]

Challenging

[hollow obsidian]

Okay nice! How did that go?

[urban shale]

I wish I knew about countdown

Has all the loot

[hollow obsidian]

Yeah it’s really great! It’s fast, good loot, and you can play it without saying anything or by yourself with other people!

[thick zephyr]

Perfect companion is too op, especially in conflict.
That's all.

[west bough]

wow i wish i started playing on pc first... game looks amazing

[wide remnant]

Does gear that I got as a level 30 ( maxed attributes) matter when I reach level 40 is there a way to make them level 40?

[small spear]

no

[hollow obsidian]

No you have to get gear that is level 40.

[azure lintel]

You can but only exotics

[finite hare]

I just lost my first CD. Soo many people died and 1 dced. In the end it was only 3 of us

[gaunt dust]

Realistically how long do you guys think this game has?

[verbal temple]

1 year

[oak prawn]

After Y5 I think its gonna end

[rugged hornet]

sup guys anyone wanna play? i just installed this game

[oak prawn]

#lfg-pc

[azure lintel]

Until they make a new one
Besides it has a loyal player base so servers will stay up for few years

[gaunt dust]

I heard Div 3 will release in 2026

[chilly remnant]

not geting blueprints for lvl 3 control points on world tier 3, is this still supposed to happen?

soz, world tier 5

[rugged hornet]

guys why do i have audio problems in division 2

like messed up audio

[finite hare]

I just changed my smg to Lady death, and my specialization to that grenade launcher one. Now my build is shredding but I’m still getting shredded

Is everybody I play against in conflict teamed up bro? They always move together. I can’t do shit

[lapis raptor]

having no luck getting a ninjabike messenger bag....any suggestions?

[knotty quail]

Only drops from caches or random drops, can't get it through TL

[lapis raptor]

ok

ty

[rigid spruce]

Have they finally fixed Descent xp exploit ?

[finite hare]

I got 6 kills in conflict. My best match so far.

Woooo!

Damn. What a difference it made switching to Lady Death and the Demolitionist

I need to get something other than vigilance on my backpack

I don’t think it suits me in pvp. Not my style

[opal radish]

the contamination mechanic was quite fun and challenging

[plush osprey]

No

[dense shore]

E

[cold gull]

Is it normal that I ask the ubisoft support about descent they answer about District Union Arena?

[plush osprey]

Have they fixed the xp exploit in countdown

[dense shore]

There's an xp exploit in countdown?? 🤣

[spark tendon]

There's a XP exploit in countdown?

[plush osprey]

Dev team be like confused unga bunga

[plush osprey]

From what was a few months ago kill xp was sharing between all agents. So was really good to get stuff done to get proficient.

[spark tendon]

Uh, idk then-

[full zinc]

only getting like 1 shd per run there afaik. doesnt seem like anything to fix

[plush osprey]

Was really good when I was doing it for gear sets. Throw all 6 of the same gear and in 2 runs form 0 to 10.

Sad I can't test if it still works because the player base on xbox is near non-existent.

If the devs do make a d3 the selling point for me is if it would have cross play or save if not I think it would be a hard pass for me.

[royal summit]

I thought Heartland is supposed to be 3

[dapper atlas]

Heartland is a standalone game within the Division universe, but it's not supposed to be Div 3.

[spark tendon]

Cross play already makes the game unfair in PvP lol

[plush osprey]

Do what the did in destiny 2 and have a setting on what platform you wish to encounter with when introduced to matchmaking or encountering.

[spark tendon]

more work for the devs kek

The games already buggy enough

[plush osprey]

That is sadly true mate.

[spark tendon]

Wonder how buggy Div 3 will be

Though I doubt a Div 3 will even happen

[plush osprey]

Devs will be like there is some game in my bugs.

[oak prawn]

Whatever happened to the supposed division movie ?

[plush osprey]

Probably given to kathleen kennedy lol

[oak prawn]

Should of kept Dave flioni

[plush osprey]

True

[unkempt cedar]

as a returning player what is best to grind rn?

[finite hare]

Count down

[unkempt cedar]

still ? i thouight they woulda nerfed it?

[finite hare]

Nah. I’ve had no problems with it

I don’t get the best drops with the best rolls but at least I’m getting the gear I want for the builds I want

[full zinc]

they did change it a bit if you last played cd when it first came out. unable to farm named items off the initial hunters. they dont drop loot just dogtags. but otherwise its still good and can buy an exo cache every 2 runs roughly

[rich heart]

This game is fucking unplayable anymore.

I can't even go 20 minutes without crashing after the apparel event maintenance. Honestly, are they ever going to fix it?

[oak prawn]

The crashes not for a while most likely

[last pier]

I actually like the whole Sheppard rankings and being able to endorse those who help...

random, but i think its a great addition

[copper shoal]

Will there be a DIV 3 later. I hope we get the Legendary option on all content, including open world,

[hot lily]

Let them first fix stuff before adding new things 😂 7th crash in 2 hours.. did something happen during reset?

[copper shoal]

I don't have a problem with crashes

[hot lily]

I havent been this bad in a few weeks

[copper shoal]

I average 1-2 crashes for every 50 hours of playtime.

[bitter wraith]

Does anyone have any tips for descent? We both did pure damage (not realising there were 2 nemesises) and got destroyed immediately

[gray sluice]

1 nemesis per person

these talents can help Trauma, clutch, entrench , preservation ,
use nade ,foam decoy whatever u have to stop him shooting to u , try to get Trauma its very helpfull

dont get blue core before nemesis

[full zinc]

One of the mods may have to get some pins up in #td2-descent

[finite hare]

Dammit. I just completed a stronghold but it wasn’t invaded

Oh well. Stage 5 technician is taking me a lot less time to complete than I thought

[devout iron]

use tidal basin

[finite hare]

Yeah. I’m redoing it

[frigid path]

Hello nice to meet you, i am new

[finite hare]

Yo. Nice to meet you bro

Welcome

[tropic compass]

lol loop 4 and this is how trash my rng is https://imgur.com/a/rwcUFZ1

[finite hare]

That’s heartland?

[tropic compass]

Descent

[drowsy swan]

Welcome just be careful things can turn from peaceful to being in hell very quickly lol

[finite hare]

I think Imma play one match of pvp with my incomplete build.🤣 See how it is. Just for fun.

Wish I had that tech laser rn though

[full zinc]

Just depends on if its maintenance day or not 🤣

[drowsy swan]

Even then hell haha

[full zinc]

Good entertainment 👍

[drowsy swan]

Yea pretty much

[oak prawn]

I may just spend monsy on this apperal event

I could grind

But

[full zinc]

Why buy

[finite hare]

My new incomplete build is not bad right now, but DAMN. Pulse takes 100 seconds to come back in conflict

[full zinc]

Such an easy gring to unlock everything

[oak prawn]

Meh saves time

[full zinc]

Just use obliterate till you have the laser unlocked

[finite hare]

Fuck man. I wish there was an easier way to get specialization points

[full zinc]

Doesnt everyone... welcome to div2

[oak prawn]

The only thing I like about the apperal event is the 4 free keya you get if you own the sp

You get 1 freebie regardless

[finite hare]

I played two heroic CDs and I only had 6 points. But I already had three before I even activated tech

[full zinc]

Do the invaded. Grind shd.

Do bounties give spec points, anyone?

[finite hare]

Division did me dirty with those points. When I was playing firewall I would get about 3 every CD

[spark tendon]

165 points should take around 55 SHD levels sooooo

[oak prawn]

Bounties do

Yes

[finite hare]

Come on bro🤣😭

[full zinc]

Yeah couple days grind then

[finite hare]

Fuck. That’s heartbreaking to hear

[spark tendon]

55 SHD isnt that much

smh

[oak prawn]

You could do it in a day if yu pushed

[full zinc]

Yeah absolutly

[spark tendon]

55 countdowns equals around 20 minutes of gameplay

thats only 18 hours or so of gameplay lolol

[finite hare]

I kinda need to do countdown for the ceska backpack though.

[spark tendon]

and thats if u do countdown

[oak prawn]

Alr im going back to bed see yall when the update drops

[finite hare]

I’m getting bored of countdown though

[finite hare]

There’s gonna be an update today?

[oak prawn]

No Tuesday

[full zinc]

Matchmake into exploration or missions ezpz

[oak prawn]

Knowing me ill probably sleep close to 20hours

Then go back ti bed

[finite hare]

But it’s Saturday

[oak prawn]

Your point?

[finite hare]

Your maths wrong🤣

[full zinc]

I'm lucky if I get 4 with my kids and schedule 🤣 🤣

[spark tendon]

i forgot that everyone in division 2 is a adult

[oak prawn]

Yea well I love to dream so thts why I sleep cause I feel powerful in my dreams I have unlimted power

[finite hare]

I thought you said bounties would give you spec points faster

[finite hare]

What are you?

[full zinc]

Anything you do will give xp towards shd

[kind veldt]

invaded missions also give extra spec points, only first ones of eaech reset

[spark tendon]

14

[full zinc]

Giving options ,you do you

[finite hare]

At least I’m making progress in pvp though. I wouldn’t get a single kill before

[finite hare]

Youngsta

PvP is refreshing for me in D2

On the bright side; I only have to target a couple things in the specialization. Mainly the smg, ar, rifle so I could get the laser, and the pulse resistance

[jovial hull]

🦃

[peak viper]

where are the voice channels for raids?

[viral galleon]

They gone

[spark tendon]

non existent

[peak viper]

ok .

[jade bobcat]

do people still do the Summit in groups?

[vale ledge]

yes, because no commitments

jump in jump out

[earnest fractal]

Is this a new feature 😅
Nemesis respawns in the Descent after completing ...
I have seen it multiple times before 😤 😤
https://clips.twitch.tv/BigCoyTildePeteZaroll--ukdGdSpuxfPQPi3

[gaunt dust]

Realistically how long of a lifespan does D2 have left?

Before we get D3

[jovial hull]

Maybe like another year or 2

[earnest fractal]

with all the other stuff Ubi is working on, I wouldnt expect Div 3 any time soon

[lean marlin]

I have 16 hyena keys 💀

[gaunt dust]

2026 probably

[spark tendon]

Only 16? I have 23

[jovial hull]

Only 23 I have 0

[fluid meadow]

Only 23? I have 50 of each faction

[spark tendon]

i have 20 or so for each faction ong

[fluid meadow]

Now i need a guide to where every faction box is

[jovial hull]

Aren’t the hyena keys for the chatterbox

[fluid meadow]

It is. But it's general use of opening the heyna boxes is still there

[spark tendon]

my god am actually getting bored of div 2 now

[jovial hull]

Take a year off

[spark tendon]

🖕

i have no other games to play tho

but there is the steam summer sale so...

[jovial hull]

When does that end?

[fluid meadow]

Find someone to play with. I feel like div 2 is a group kind of game

[spark tendon]

(i have nobody)

[fluid meadow]

There is lfg you can find people interested in playing there

[spark tendon]

also i have no mic for communication

[earnest fractal]

kinda similar games coming out this year, co-op looter shooters

• The First Descendant
• Atlas Fallen

[vale ledge]

remnant2 coming out

[copper shoal]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/535048747705696284

[spark tendon]

alr in one but nobodys on rn

[copper shoal]

i have pre order Remnant 2

[kind veldt]

gonna wait for a bit before buying dont want to risk remnant 2 being bad

[azure lintel]

Hello does anyone completed the four shields and got div1 iconic jacket to div2 ? “Recently “

[jaunty shale]

What skills should i buy first? im somewhat new

[surreal orbit]

Gotta love it! Used 5 exo components to reroll my second Elmo, then took a 15 minute run through the DZ and got 6 exo components…. 😂 😆🤣

[broken solstice]

not baddd

you know who you are?

even steven

[jaunty shale]

Alright ty for the great answers 💪

[broken solstice]

lol i had good success with a striker drone and a shield

[surreal orbit]

lol you’ll wind up with them all so take your pick…. If you go down a lot choose the revive hive….

[jaunty shale]

i havnt been downed once so

[surreal orbit]

2 minutes after your original post and your complaining….. 🤦‍♂️

[jaunty shale]

Shhhh

[finite hare]

I need 3 more spec points and I get the laser🥳. Soo close, but I still need to max out my spray and pray passive talent, and get the pulse resistance

Passive talent

[torpid plume]

I had a St Elmos drop at a control point re rolled it once and it gave me maxed out stats + DTOC. A good day.

[broken solstice]

wicked

[torpid plume]

Didn't even realize it dropped in open world yet

[broken solstice]

yeah i was surprised when i get a second one

[torpid plume]

It's definitely a good surprise

[finite hare]

Dope

[idle pecan]

Heartland is having the closed beta atm so we could expect it by the end of this year maybe

or maybe q1 - q2 next year

[foggy oar]

Is pulse scanner considered a status effect

[last pier]

whats the incentive for new players going into the dz? seems moot if everyone there is running BiS specs 😦

[foggy oar]

I just go in with a good survivability build and take on landmarks. If I being hunted by rogues I just switch servers

[last pier]

switch servers? like, phase out and then go back in?

[spark tendon]

theres 3 DZs after all

Switch to either one of them

[foggy oar]

Usually change dark zones

[last pier]

ahh

gotcha

[torpid plume]

The incentive is to get better gear and find a team to play with, Not much point otherwise imo.

[last pier]

cant trust agents in the dz lol come on now 😄

[torpid plume]

True, The worst kinds of people live in the DZ but a lot of people run together, I just avoid the DZ mostly even though I have all the meta PvP builds I can't be bothered getting outnumbered lol.

[keen lily]

How does Melee damage works? Sometimes i hit 500-600k and the next time i hit 1.5-1.9m ..

[torpid plume]

Depends on build/gear

[tiny oar]

dont bother with melee honestly, its too risky and doesnt deal a lot anyway

[jade dome]

No

[finite hare]

Damn. How? What build are you running? That sounds fun

[finite hare]

But it sounds fun

Imagine making a melee build in PvP and it actually works🤣

[surreal orbit]

It can be fun to play around with….

[finite hare]

Dude I wanna try it. You think I should make myself really tanky?

[gaunt dust]

Do you all think heartland will be is ripe with cheaters as Div2?

[finite hare]

I have a couple gear pieces with melee damage

[torpid plume]

I run mine with armor regen and hazpro on as much gear as possible and with claws out, bloody knuckles & lady death.

[finite hare]

I don’t think I’ve ran into any cheaters in D2 yet

[gaunt dust]

Yep

[gaunt dust]

Seriously?

Lucky

[torpid plume]

Must be nice

[finite hare]

Well I’ve only been playing for a little over 3 weeks guys

[tiny oar]

i mean it does sound fun, but the harsh reality will catch up real fast

[gaunt dust]

Explain

[finite hare]

Shit. I’m okay with losing. If you’re having fun it doesn’t matter

Losing is a part of life. It’s normal

[tiny oar]

melee takes too long, is very short range, leaves you defenseless, and you're in the middle of the enemies lige of sight

but if you have fun, then go for it

[gaunt dust]

I don’t know about you, but I don’t have fun losing

Winning is fun

[tiny oar]

not witha boring build

[finite hare]

🤣 I’ll run that huge ass shield too

[gaunt dust]

I like having fun and being competitive

Well no

[tiny oar]

div 2 isnt competitive tho

[gaunt dust]

I mean if you’re cheating it’s not

Lol

[tiny oar]

im not cheating, still not competitive

[finite hare]

Me too. That’s me. But trying something new that someone hasn’t tried before will be great

[gaunt dust]

What would make it competitive?

[tiny oar]

nothing in this game

[earnest lava]

leaderboards and speedrunning, which is like 1% of community

[tiny oar]

div 2 isnt competitive

yeah speedrunning is not really a thing either

[gaunt dust]

Do you think Heartland will be?

[finite hare]

You’re talking about a pro league right?

[finite hare]

Nah man.

[gaunt dust]

It may not be competitive but there is a meta

[tiny oar]

yeah there will always be a meta

[earnest lava]

Ubi got lucky with even Rainbow being competitive okay lol, so much unbalanced operators, guns, map glitches, etc

[finite hare]

I miss playing gamebattles on Bo3. I’m soo much better now at fps

[gaunt dust]

Hopefully XDefiant won’t suck

[earnest lava]

yes

[tiny oar]

dont get your hopes up, its ubisoft

[finite hare]

Dude. Xdefiant is dope. I had fun

[gaunt dust]

Do you think Div 2 isn’t competitive because of cheaters?

Could it be?

[earnest lava]

because of the genre and how its played, there isnt even customs is there for conflict?

[finite hare]

Nah man. I think d2 isn’t competitive because of the loot system and the community

[gaunt dust]

I don’t think the devs want it to be competitive, though

Ya know

[finite hare]

If you could actually choose your loot yourself then yeah, it could be

[earnest lava]

Im happy massive is coming back to the game in a more serious approach

good for ubisoft as a company focusing on a main game

[gaunt dust]

With what

[earnest lava]

this new year 5

[gaunt dust]

Oh right

Same

[earnest lava]

which i dont consider new until end of year 5

exactly i agree with you

[gaunt dust]

So will we get a year six?

[earnest lava]

of course, that's when the new seasons and dlc story is just kicking off, they wouldnt close down shop right after

[gaunt dust]

I mean look at For Honor, Rainbow Six..

Right, I meant yr 7

[earnest lava]

those games play completely different since this is a open world looter game

[tiny oar]

no, its just not the nature of the game

same as destiny 2 isnt competitive

its a looter shooter before all

[gaunt dust]

Right

[earnest lava]

Destiny 2 also feels a lot like halo so that helps

div 2 aint playing like no halo

[tiny oar]

halo isnt looter shooter

[earnest lava]

just talking about the first person feel

then when you pick up a scorch cannon and feel instantly summoned back to halo

[gaunt dust]

So you’re saying ppl like nothing but skillz isn’t competitive 😮 😆

[tiny oar]

i mean destiny is more of a spellcaster game rather than fps at that point xd

[earnest lava]

its fps all the way, its just that with these new subclasses they only introduced for money messed up everything, cant focused on the already clapped subclasses they had

same with rainbow introducing new operators every 3 months or whatever instead of more resources on balancing

Anyways though the new gamemode and style for manhunts this season at least shows an attempt at innovation by Massive and is a good start for a new year so I'm happy for another 11 weeks

Since an incursion and new manhunt is the only new things for next season, Massive fo sure gonna focus on refining descent more and with a good amount of balancing updates to weigh down the lack of content in the 3-4 month span should be pretty solid, if we get more new sets or exotics that would be cool too

A dev confirmed this in an interview i watched this morning so its good they have awareness on these things as well

[gaunt dust]

Completely agreed

[gaunt dust]

Did they say how long?

[earnest lava]

ill link it here for you to watch, pretty sure its allowed since its div 2 related

[frozen meadow]

It is

[gaunt dust]

Ok tag me im going to sleep

[kind veldt]

well summit was similar, but summit was fucking rushed

release game mode, then fix it and add what was really needed later

[earnest lava]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYP_Ey4AtyY

[frozen meadow]

You have either that or half this server whining about the devs sucking at their jobs

[kind veldt]

well it does feel the dev team is 5 people in shack with budget of a tin can somehow

[frozen meadow]

That's not entirely inaccurate

[kind veldt]

i dont know the reality of things but thats the general impression, they really can't keep hyping it up "this is where all our effort went" for year 5 when it starts not great

[stark hare]

How do I get zero fs

[kind veldt]

farming named caces, or chest pieces

[earnest lava]

at the end of the day its always the higher ups that make the decisions on what gets released, how, when, why, where, etc

id never get mad at the dev

[kind veldt]

well i just look foward for the incursion

[frozen meadow]

Yeah and if you don't like it then feel free to apply to join the team

Never complain about a problem you don't have a solution to

[kind veldt]

hey i complained so much about ongoing directive that they actually fixed like i said they would

[earnest lava]

Just hope the incursion is a real step up from a stronghold

[frozen meadow]

You? Lmao

[frozen meadow]

Incursions are

Div 1 incursions were pretty neat

[earnest lava]

I love the falcon lost pit so much

im a menace

[wild grotto]

hey do I get a higher exotic drop chance if I up my global difficullty?

[kind veldt]

incursions are a sweet spot in between legendary and raids in terms of design

[frozen meadow]

Yes

[kind veldt]

yeap, higher diff more exotics

[frozen meadow]

This game needs some difficult content

[earnest lava]

I know i just hope they dont forget that and make super super simple mechanics

[kind veldt]

you dont want to bloat difficulty honestly

[earnest lava]

like pull 3 levers in order

[kind veldt]

you dont want to go from a game that had 4 difficulty tiers to 7 and all are bad

[earnest lava]

i did really love the hunters, maybe they can take some inspiration from that

[wild grotto]

Ok so I just started getting into endgame, what would be a good difficulty level to go for?

[earnest lava]

hard

[frozen meadow]

Challenging or heroic

[kind veldt]

hard/challenging

[frozen meadow]

Probably challenging

[kind veldt]

if challenging is safe, then go for heroic

just dont jump into legandary with purple gear like some people did in the first week

[frozen meadow]

Lol

[kind veldt]

never again

[frozen meadow]

Idiots lmao

[wild grotto]

ok I will go for challenging then so I can hopefully get this scorpio to drop

yes I only have on high end and pieces of a gear set!

[kind veldt]

i stil lhave PTSD from the immortal support stations from legendary capitol from the release

[frozen meadow]

I love how this game will make some actually challenging content then nerf it to the ground

[kind veldt]

add to that a guy with 4 blue cores and 2 red using mostly purple gear

well that gif of 4 DPS shooting the thing and not dieing kinda proved a point of them being busted

[frozen meadow]

I seriously hope the incursion has some actual difficulty to it

[tiny oar]

bro dont remind me of this

i had peace

[kind veldt]

i hope it doesnt have bad mechanics that force discord

[frozen meadow]

You know it will

[reef reef]

tbh i hope it does

[frozen meadow]

Lmao

I hope it does and then ubi gets enough hate to bring back vcs

[kind veldt]

incursions are not raid, if they do that then they are bad at their jobs

[frozen meadow]

Incursions can be fairly similar

[kind veldt]

coordinations sure

[reef reef]

i hope the incursions have mechanics worse than raids and you need a full team of gamers who know exactly what they are doing to get it done

[frozen meadow]

Not the 4 bosses in a row type thing

[kind veldt]

but not have someone in the mic doing math puzzle to 7 others spread on hte map

[frozen meadow]

Oh my god I couldn't say that better myself 🙏

[undone timber]

I love it when a plan comes together

[frozen meadow]

Aren't incursions 4 people not 8

[reef reef]

just because people complain about not wanting to do raids, i want it to be worse

[frozen meadow]

Nay aspect I genuinely agree with that lol

[undone timber]

💀

[kind veldt]

guess thats a bit too much

[reef reef]

@kind veldt Yeah, dont do that

[frozen meadow]

I want an actually difficult challenge in this game

[reef reef]

i'm half memeing half actually serious

[frozen meadow]

Where it's difficult regardless how many times you replay it

[undone timber]

Legendary was annoying but with skill builds it's just cheese

[frozen meadow]

I want a mission that has difficulty regardless of replayability

[kind veldt]

yeah i get it, thought poopy head would have made the joke clear

[earnest lava]

it should be where all 4 people have to know what to do for sure

if you dont wipe pls

[undone timber]

That makes sense

[kind veldt]

the cleaner incursions was pretty good

[reef reef]

4 top tier gamers, if you wipe your game crashes

[kind veldt]

something like that is good enough for me

[earnest lava]

this incursion will be cleaners btw

so happy about that

[kind veldt]

yeah i know

[undone timber]

People will just crash without wiping atp

[earnest lava]

cleaners are my fav, their weakpoints make me hard

[kind veldt]

better have exotic shotgun with dragons breath rounds as reward

[earnest lava]

explosions cool too

[reef reef]

every step they take in the incursion has an additional chance of crash

[kind veldt]

i mean thats how it already is on the game

[finite hare]

Yo. Is ongoing directive good? I saw that it amplifies your damage by 20% and give you hollow point bullets that apply bleed

I’m interested

[earnest lava]

Id make a support build out of it

[kind veldt]

went from bad to decent, good if you play in groups or just matchmake it

everyone kills faster making the job easier

[finite hare]

I’m talking about for pvp

[earnest lava]

hell no

[reef reef]

i hope it doesnt have matchmaking....

[undone timber]

Now you even completing missions is rng

[finite hare]

That +30% reload speed would be amazing

[kind veldt]

now you are just baiting me into saying no-no words

[reef reef]

lmao if you think i'm baiting you you just dont know me

[earnest lava]

nah chief got a million better options than that for pvp fo sure

[undone timber]

Honestly I feel like if it did it would be full of people who don't know what they're doing and have horrible builds

[kind veldt]

more that i had this exact conversation 2 days ago

[tiny oar]

incursions should have matchmaking

[kind veldt]

so some deja vu

[tiny oar]

like div 1

[finite hare]

And then that +15% status effect shees

[earnest lava]

you gonna see some level 5s and 10s queuing

[finite hare]

For real?

[earnest lava]

i hope no matchmaking

but prob will

[kind veldt]

the 15% status effect is really not that great since bleed from ongoing directive is not that good

but dont know about PVP so wrong person to ask about that specific

[finite hare]

What about with wicked?

[tiny oar]

i mean we saw people with no mods on skills in incursions, newsbies happen, but still, most of the time team was clean-ish

[reef reef]

the only status stuff thats good in pvp is disabling statuses, like foam or jammer or fire. Otherwise damage is just better, Ongoing is just not great for pvp

[earnest lava]

im the type of person to get the people who cant name 5 colors

[surreal orbit]

God please no!….

[finite hare]

Honestly…. I’m still gonna try to make a build out of it

[reef reef]

orange.... blue.... orange... red... orange

[kind veldt]

they had in the first game nad it was fine

[tiny oar]

why not, we had matchmaking in div 1, why not in div 2

[reef reef]

like go ahead, but it wont be good and you'll not have a great time

[earnest lava]

disconnecting asap we're screwed

[reef reef]

still using blue items, they r good right? /s

[earnest lava]

oh hell nah

[kind veldt]

i'm the weirdo that liked the previous version of ongoing directive that gave you flat 30 rounds, just because that way i could always have ammo for shotguns

and bighorn, kinda works great with it odd enough

since it just becomes a scoped sniper with lots of hollow points rounds

[finite hare]

Damn. The chat was all busy and then it died all of a sudden🤣

[kind veldt]

thats ongoing directive for you, it just flops dead after a while

[finite hare]

🤣

Good one, but I still have hope

[magic ridge]

in the rude, the bad and the evil project I can't donate my last item even I have that.What can ı do?

[finite hare]

I still have dream

[kind veldt]

which project is that again? is the item marked as favourite?

[undone timber]

I assume it's for the Dodge city holster

[surreal orbit]

Try going to the projects lady upstairs at the BOO

[finite hare]

I don’t know what gun to use with the tech laser. I have a dark winter with booty rolls. 9.5% chc, and accuracy and an aug with swap speed, but with sadist.

[magic ridge]

nope , still don't work

[undone timber]

Kingbreaker 100 percent

Or any flatline M4/C7

[finite hare]

I’m using a 4 piece hunters fury with closer, and wicked. It’s mainly an smg build

[undone timber]

At that point I'd suggest running firewall instead

And switching closer for another chest

If you're using wicked I suggest Ridgeway's pride and a sadist smg

[finite hare]

It’s my PvP build. I’m using hive for bleed to activate wicked

[undone timber]

Oh I see

[finite hare]

Yes. Yes, indeed.

Should I run pulse jammer for the squad and I?

[undone timber]

I don't really dabble in PvP but as far as I understand it the jammer is pretty effective

[finite hare]

Okay. Imma use that aug smg with sadist

People have been saying it’s ass but fuck it. I really do want to use that garbage dark winter I have because of the fast fire rate though

Unless I use the grudge

Nvm. Can’t use the grudge for the tech laser

😢

[stuck sable]

That's why I use OD with a healing build. That way my build isn't completely DoA and I can still provide HP to those that aren't running St. Elmo

Does anyone know if Emperor's Guard can be dropped from Named Caches?

[undone timber]

At that point why not just use future initiative 😭

[undone timber]

They can

[kind veldt]

yeah Elmo is a hard counter to OD and vice versa

having both on the samea team creates issues

[stuck sable]

Perfect thanks! Also, I actually do have a FI build as well, but I wanted to try my hand at a build that was meant to be a mix of healing and a debuffer. The healing isn't too bad and it helps a bunch with my buddy's Negotiator build

[stuck sable]

It sucks because I like the build, but I hate being a hindrance, so I have my FI build on-hand for those situations. That, or I tank a bunch lmao

[kind veldt]

still think they should make a gas granade gear set that heals allies and damages enemies

[timber hatch]

OD isn't debuffing anything though, it's only giving your teammates less damage and less healing

[stuck sable]

Maybe debuffing isn't the right word here

[stuck sable]

Sounds like Medic from Killing Floor 2

[kind veldt]

support would be a better world, but for actual debuff an true patriot might work better, since the extended magazine size might work well with Elmo

[stuck sable]

Yeah, support may be the more accurate description. Funny enough, I run 2pc Patriot and 2pc Brasoz for the funsies, and I get 106 in the mag on my St. Elmo. Ninjabike fills the slots necessary

[timber hatch]

It's the same story with TP. FI is just by far the best support set

[kind veldt]

well now we have AR but its actiually like an SMG, AR but it's actually like a sniper and AR but it's actually like a LMG

[stuck sable]

We're getting closer and closer to real life at this point lmao

[kind veldt]

when are we getting AR but it's actually like a shotgun?

[stuck sable]

May as well be the Rock n' Roll at this point lol

[frozen meadow]

what does this even mean

[kind veldt]

i dont know

[wet igloo]

Like an origin 12 type of thing?

[frozen meadow]

what

[kind veldt]

thats just a magfeed shotgun

[frozen meadow]

are you saying an ar that fires shells

[kind veldt]

no thats some weird turkish shotguns that are based on the AR model but are shotguns, Origin 12 just looks like a big massive rifle

[frozen meadow]

do you have a model

[kind veldt]

just make an exotic AR with an underbarrel shotgun, every X% of the magazine spent it adds more buckshot, you fire it by holding the reload button

[frozen meadow]

that sounds weird

[kind veldt]

lemme google the name of the weird turk shotgun

[stuck sable]

On the subject of shotguns, how viable are they in D2? I've never made one but I've got some god rolls of several shotties

[frozen meadow]

not very

[real creek]

Scorpio is the best exotic in the game tho!

[kind veldt]

MKA 1919

[frozen meadow]

lmao

[kind veldt]

shotguns are now ina good place

just getting a basic HF build with any shotgun works

[frozen meadow]

ill take m870 over scorpio for dps

[finite hare]

I hate when people run shotgun builds in conflict

[real creek]

I just like using the M870 on my reg HH build to blow off helmets of chungs.

[kind veldt]

but they are very range limited, so you have to play very risky

which is where HF shines the most

[finite hare]

Is the spas hood?

[kind veldt]

decent enouugh

[finite hare]

No. I meant hood

🤣

[frozen meadow]

?

[finite hare]

Why does autocorrect want me to say hood instead of good

What is autocorrect trying to say

[frozen meadow]

last i checked it was bad

[warped knoll]

Right my buddy started playing but I can’t join or inv it says player hasn’t started expansion?

[frozen meadow]

lvl 30 cant join 40

[real creek]

40 can join 30 tho.

[finite hare]

My cousin was level 3 and he was able to group up with me

[frozen meadow]

THIS

did he join you or vice versa

[warped knoll]

No I tried joining him

[wet igloo]

An M16 that shoots shells???

[real creek]

Think of it as a gate. You can go down but not up. You do get stuck in NY doing WONY IIRC.

[frozen meadow]

yes you can join him but he cannot join you

[finite hare]

The laser pointer is one of the best attachments

[frozen meadow]

debatable

[kind veldt]

yeah weird gun

[wet igloo]

Turks are some crazy mfs

[warped knoll]

Does he need to do something to the White House before I can?

[untold path]

why do i only get purple loot in heroic with all directives on, on world exploration ?

[warped knoll]

Or ny?

[frozen meadow]

before he can join on you he needs to complete the entire expansion

[finite hare]

Nah. It’s infinite pulse. It’s cool, but who the fuck thought this was okay

[frozen meadow]

its spec locked

[warped knoll]

All the nyc missions right?

[frozen meadow]

yes

[warped knoll]

Right

[real creek]

It's only "good" if you use flatline or spotter.

[scenic vale]

Anyone else having horrible lag today? The motion is jittery, and it take several seconds for menus to come up when I hit escape or check the inventory

[frozen meadow]

just u

[finite hare]

Yes of course. And I thought you were gonna play division mobile with me

[finite hare]

I’m using closer chest piece

[frozen meadow]

what

[finite hare]

With dark winter right now

[frozen meadow]

worse than obliterate

[real creek]

You check your task manager to see if you've got a run way program or memory leak on something?

[frozen meadow]

since youre brand locked

[finite hare]

Nah. Ima head into conflict right now to test it

[untold path]

anyone ?

[frozen meadow]

for pve it is

[real creek]

Brand locked, spec locked, talent locked, that is if they want synergy.

[finite hare]

I just barely got the laser. I just need to max out a couple more passive talents

[tiny oar]

you dont only get purple, but its part of the loot, also caches in openworld are trash, dont bother

[frozen meadow]

sounds like the best attachment in the game to me

[real creek]

I read that like wat then the edit came in.

[untold path]

1h in heroic and only purple dayum

[frozen meadow]

sorry lol descent

[real creek]

I think they did the open world boxes as junk so people wouldn't just run around grabbing items and building characters.

[frozen meadow]

^

[real creek]

You'd have people posting yt vids like I DIDN'T KILL A SINGLE ENEMY FOR THIS BUILD

[frozen meadow]

lol true

[scenic vale]

hell, I can't even get on right now. I keep getting a Bravo-04 error "Ubisoft services are not available...."

[real creek]

I'd power cycle the network and pc.

[frozen meadow]

defo

im on descent rn with no issues

farmin for bps

[real creek]

I've got my home network on UPS now and I def need to get a timed outlet to reset my network now that it never looses power.

[finite hare]

The augs rpm feels soo weird after using the vector

It feels uncomfortable

[frozen meadow]

use famas

[fallow idol]

Can you get the Gamology outfit from apparel caches or is it premium credits only? Anyone know?

[frozen meadow]

was that from an old apparel event

[fallow idol]

Not sure, I just saw it in the store.

Missing it and all the “Team Spirit” outfits.

[undone timber]

Try buying it with textiles and see if that works

[finite hare]

No. My build isn’t really for ars right now. Well my build is still a work in progress.

[fallow idol]

It’s all premium credit.

[frozen meadow]

then chances are its not in the pool

[undone timber]

Probably locked behind an apparel event or something then

Or it's store exclusive

[fallow idol]

It’s crazy because I only need a few items, but I’m not gonna sit here and open a billion caches

[finite hare]

I’m running 4 piece hunters with closer chest piece, and sokolov backpack with wicked. I’m trying to get a ceska backpack though

[undone timber]

Caches only have a limited pool anyway

[frozen meadow]

for pvp?

[real creek]

There are ways to open apparel caches.... But I'd have to DM you about it.

[frozen meadow]

lmao what

of course you can open apparel caches

[real creek]

You were there for that convo.

[undone timber]

Isn't it just getting 99/100 and just hoarding keys

[finite hare]

Yes ma’am. I’m using hive for the bleed status effect. I tried it earlier in conflict with demolitionist and pulse, and it did pretty good. It surprised me

[frozen meadow]

if you want all apparel items youll have to spend irl money

[real creek]

Yeah I'm just talking about the drag of opening all of them.

[tiny oar]

yeah, skins are paid with real money

only basics skins are free

[frozen meadow]

i spent around 100 on the store

[undone timber]

I wish I had the covert hunter and tusk outfit

[real creek]

That's so much garlic bread....

[undone timber]

Those the only 2 I want in the whole store now lol

[tiny oar]

damn thats a lot, i didnt spend a dime other than the game and dlc

[real creek]

Or Tacos... rip

[tiny oar]

you can use textiles iirc

[storm flame]

just setup a macro for it

[frozen meadow]

i dont like garlic bread

[tiny oar]

i got like 10k of it

[undone timber]

They're both locked behind premium credits

[real creek]

Can't get everything with textiles.

[tiny oar]

well then, real money it is

[frozen meadow]

i love the spec skins

[real creek]

WOW

[full zinc]

I think you only have to open 200-300 apperel caches to have enough textiles for all the free items

[real creek]

I opened like 400 a month ago and it wasn't enough.

[frozen meadow]

enough textiles?

[real creek]

Yeah but I figure it's because I could buy a bunch of things that were old events I wasn't around for.

So I just think for me there was much more to buy.

[stuck sable]

I'm wondering if I can do a cosplay of Mr. Foster with the apparel. I've got the suit and mask, just need the pants

[frozen meadow]

descent run doin well so far

almost to nem maybe 3 or 4 rooms to go

[full zinc]

That's around 40k textiles if you were already into duplicate items

[scenic vale]

That did it. running much smoother atm

[frozen meadow]

1 arena then nem

i wonder what my timell be

[real creek]

YAY! Grind away boi.

[frozen meadow]

nem time

done

[kind veldt]

are you winning son?

[frozen meadow]

33:06 not bad

time for another lmao

[real creek]

Yeah some of the outfits were like 6k textiles for just an outfit.

[full zinc]

Oh jesus

Its been a minute since I opened anything

[real creek]

Yeah I took an almost 3 year break so I didn't have like anything that had been added after year one until just a couple months ago.

[kind veldt]

nothing like losing count for a currency you have too much and nothing to use on

[full zinc]

Gotcha

[real creek]

Yeah most items are like 600 up to like 1200 textiles.

rip another 12k textiles gone, but it seems that I've finally bought everything I can with textiles in the store. At least for now, not sure if more come into rotation or something like that.

Huh you get a free Doctor home? In the store in the grants tab? Didn't know that.

[full zinc]

The last thing that came available was that hunter outfit from friend referrals. Ide like to see rotation but doubt it will happen. Easy money from ppl that HAVE to complete stuff 😅

[real creek]

We'll make money off the OCD people.-ubi probably.

[full zinc]

Most definitely

[frozen meadow]

i dont mind it

[real creek]

Do you check to see if your door is locked multiple times?

[frozen meadow]

thats more paranoia than ocd

[real creek]

Sure... I'm not going to go into how that disorder affects people as it was just a joke.

[frozen meadow]

i know how it does, because it affects me

[real creek]

Well I just wish they didn't mix match what's textile and credits purchased cause you end up with half finished outfits.

[frozen meadow]

theres only like 2 or 3 that are mixed

[real creek]

maybe if you were playing to complete events.

[frozen meadow]

fair

im on loop 4 rn no cc

lil annoyed\

[real creek]

17 outfits if I counted right, all have at least one part of the outfit.

[frozen meadow]

i hope i get some form of cc soon

[real creek]

I bet new players would have even more gaps in theirs.

[frozen meadow]

foam or firestarter pls 🙏

DAMMIT

[real creek]

Nem just gonna oxy you then lol

[frozen meadow]

doesnt matter if they die

i have to settle with flame turret somehow

[real creek]

Eh kinda works when you smack it right on the door.

[frozen meadow]

nem has no door?

[real creek]

I'm just saying in general.

[frozen meadow]

im only going to nem

[real creek]

Nem just get special rounds.

[frozen meadow]

???

where are you getting this info

[real creek]

You can get high velocity rounds.

[frozen meadow]

high velocity has lower impact on elites

[real creek]

You never tried it?

[frozen meadow]

the description says that lol

[real creek]

So you have not tried it?

[frozen meadow]

also im face tanking nem

yes ive tried it lol

[finite hare]

How do I get the extendo mag for the kingbreaker?

[real creek]

Farm cp3 or 4

[tiny oar]

how ? i legit got onetaped by him the first time i played and i took 3 defensive stats

[finite hare]

What’s cp3?

[frozen meadow]

all you need is basic cc

[real creek]

Capture points

[tiny oar]

control points

[real creek]

3 and 4 refer to challenging or heroic.

[tiny oar]

he ignored my cc lmao

[frozen meadow]

what was your cc

[tiny oar]

fire or foam i dont remember

[frozen meadow]

they cant ignore either of those, you just missed then

[tiny oar]

he just litterally ignored it and ran me down to onetap me, he had the cc shown next to his bar but kept on moving

enemies do that sometime, it happens a lot tp me recently with elmos

people getting shocked yet moving

[frozen meadow]

they do that with fire

nem cant get shocked

[tiny oar]

no im talking elmo no decent

[frozen meadow]

the whole convo was descent tho

[finite hare]

Peace y’all. Enjoy your day

[tiny oar]

yeah i was making an example of enemies moving despite cc with elmo

nem did the same with me

[frozen meadow]

moving with fire is normal

[azure lintel]

Foam will always work
Fire seems to be a bit of hit n miss
Not sure what causes it

[frozen meadow]

blind too

[tiny oar]

not speedrunning to my face tho

[frozen meadow]

yes it is

fuck do you think theyd do

[real creek]

Tons of times enemies on fire will NYOOM while on fire as if they are using the flames as a speed boost.

[kind veldt]

i think the best examples of conflicting animations are shield hyenas

sliding while on fire or etc

[real creek]

oh the slide fire is good too. I guess you've gotta use a EP fire build to really see all the different ways things on fire behave.

It's just funny to see them on fire doing all the normal things then randomly half way thru the burn they go oh right I'm on fire and do the little fire dance.

[raw geyser]

😔 so go back to DX-11 to see if DX-12 mode is whats causing the game to be unstable

[frozen meadow]

i havent had stability issues with this game at all

[raw geyser]

idk the game likes to crash at random

[frozen meadow]

not for me

[raw geyser]

sometimes itll be open the whole time
stometimes it crashes ~20 minutes into a play session

[mighty meteor]

whats the best way to get exotics? im tryna get ninja messenger

[frozen meadow]

backpack or kneepads

[mighty meteor]

bag

[raw geyser]

testing DX-11 mode

[frozen meadow]

it can only be found through exotic caches if you dont have it already

[mighty meteor]

okay thank you

[frozen meadow]

lmao i just spawn killed nemesis

31:01

[heady depot]

Why the hell is countdown so stuip to host

Stupid

[azure lintel]

Anyone else experiencing broken propaganda broadcasts? Ive started 3 in the past 2 hours and not a single one has dropped the authorization key

[shrewd quail]

Hello general chat

[fiery cloud]

Hey Souless,Eevee

[frozen meadow]

what difficulty

[shrewd valve]

can we ever expect division 2 to actually work without loading glitches and bugs?

[kind veldt]

well not in the reality we live in

[real fjord]

Good evening everyone, hope your having a great day

[real fjord]

😄

[viscid cargo]

i HATE tactical assessment >:(

[shrewd valve]

good for you?

[kind veldt]

connection issues are mostly form the server side of things and the crash and freeze is mostly due some weird PC only issue, consoles appear to be mostly safe in general for div 2

[shrewd valve]

i’ve experienced a bug twice in a row so far where when i kill the last target for the manhunt it loads my entire squad back at the start without giving us any time to pick up the loot.

We had to run the regular mission just to get our loot from the boss

[copper shoal]

Almost all online games have glitches and bugs

[shrewd valve]

your point being?

[shrewd quail]

My favorite is not being able to complete control points because enemies are stuck outside the map

Bugs and glitches aren’t the end of the world, but it’s annoying when it’s consistent and in some cases game breaking

[formal summit]

Descent takes so long to have me crash and ruin the run I'm on with other people since they can't advance, I am so happy with the way you "fixed" the exploit and the way descent has been balanced, keep up the great work. Super duper.

[hard apex]

how to kill logan aggro smitch in legendarty?

[real creek]

Which mission?

I don't remember people names.

[hard apex]

distreict union

[real creek]

Gotta break his backpack then it's all headshots.

You can just pew his head off but you need some setup and one shot stuff for it cause the heals are too much for most people.

So break backpack then shoot him in the head and that's do it.

[kind veldt]

oh and stay very far from him

a team spread out is better

[hard apex]

ok done. thank mate

I was typing, in mission 😛 we couldn't kill it 😛

[kind veldt]

he's probably the easiest one of the legendary

a good team is easy to farm bighorn in there

[real creek]

Roosevelt island is pretty easy too. I'd say zoo or tidal is the worst. Really a good team and know how changes the feel of a legendary so much.

[shrewd quail]

Should I use my 46 apparel cache keys

[real creek]

They can only be used for one thing and nothing else. No point to save them.

[shrewd quail]

I have 26 more things to collect

Doubt I’ll get all of them tbh

[real creek]

Oh you wont.

[shrewd quail]

I’ll probably get 3 and a bunch of textiles

[real creek]

It's a chance and probability thing. They aren't the same and math is math yo. It'll probably take you a few hundred keys if you are lucky to get the rest.

[shell dagger]

the fucking invaded manning national zoo mission is utter cancer

[jaunty shale]

Can someone explain what the dark zone is?

[knotty quail]

Area of the map with some exclusive loot, but you need to extract it before you are able to get it in your inventory

Main point is there is other players there who are able to engage you

Also steal your loot while extracting

Most people go there for the PvP, not the loot tho

[jaunty shale]

I was in it and i couldnt shoot other players? do u have to be in the rogue state to kill others?

[knotty quail]

Yes

Rogue to kill other players or rogues, can shoot rogues while not rogue

At least that's how it worked in Div1, not sure if they changed it

[kind veldt]

Previously you would only turn rogue when you dealt enough damage to someone, right now people need to turn rogue first to then engage you

[void kettle]

Anyone else got problems with hiding the signature weapon? Can’t hold 🔼 to change it.. (I’m on PS5)

[real creek]

Invaded DZ has a sort of soft rouge mechanic where you can shoot anyone all the time and once you go over a certain amount of damage you'll go rogue.

So in the normal ones you need to T or whatever key needed per platform but in invaded you just pew pew people.

[timber hatch]

They took that away awhile ago. The main difference now is there's no turrets that kill rogues near the checkpoints, so you can checkpoint camp in the invaded.

[kind veldt]

and when you call an heli it might be black tusk ambush

[sick trellis]

Hi guys!!
Can I get the ninja backpack if I start playing this season??Well I started the last week of last season, but I can get it by farming in target loot or boxes

[finite hare]

I heard you can get from exotic caches

[cinder cloud]

i love it when the game crashes as soon as the hunters are dead and i'm about to grab loot

[river wyvern]

ik, i didn't go in to details

just mentioning the title isn't against NDA

[finite hare]

🤣 That hasn’t happened to me yet. But sometimes I get frame rate lag and it’s disgusting.

[river wyvern]

if u get back on quickly the items could still be on the ground

[kind veldt]

never seen anyone reconnect to a countdown

[river wyvern]

yeah, i didn't get in the close beta, there are leaks on youtube i was watching 😉

haha alright

[finite hare]

Sometimes my frame rate lag looks like I’m playing an old school arcade game

[river wyvern]

winks

[tidal vapor]

youll get used to it

[river wyvern]

i think there's a chat log in one of hidden admin channel, deleting won't make a difference only to get urself highlighted XD

shhhh

[frozen meadow]

Seeker mine out

[oak prawn]

seeker mine squad roll out

[tame dune]

Good evening guys, can someone help me? First time raiding, how do I find a group?

What do I have to write on the lfg?

[oak prawn]

#lfg-raid-pc

judt say new to raids looking for a group to do them with

id recommend dark hours first its the easier of the 2

its a massive dps check all you need is a good red build and your good

iron horse requires more communication and there are more mechanics

[tame dune]

thank you very much, sorry to bother

Cheers

[drifting shale]

Did they remove the voice chat channels?

[reef reef]

yes

[jovial hull]

Finally got to summit floor 100

Got an exotic culled liberty or something idk if it’s good or not

[sick trellis]

Liberty of Kendra ??

It's good 4 collection

[jovial hull]

Checked the name again yeah that one

Might just stick to my current exotic though since it doesn’t fit with my hf build

[bitter wraith]

In the nemesis encounter and it won't spawn

[kind veldt]

liberty is useful for generic builds that dont use primary exotics because of it's high damage as backup

[bitter wraith]

Bugs in descent:
Running out and into the arena after a wave will retriever the wave and allow you to choose another bonus stat.
In the nemesis encounter, none will spawn and it will say wait for everyone to encounter. Exploding self with grenade with teammate nearby will cause you to be KICKED from the descent but will still somehow get stuff

Probably a load more we don't know about which is unsurprising

[jovial hull]

Does it kick you because of friendly fire or something?

[bitter wraith]

No I literally blew myself up and got kicked from group and also sent to main door of descent

[jovial hull]

Literally blew up so hard the game sent you back to the main door

[bitter wraith]

SO TRUE

[bitter wraith]

Grenade was probably fused with uranium

[jovial hull]

Idk why I just imagine hearing an explosion and your character flying all the way back to the main door

[bitter wraith]

Literally what happened but it just crashed my descent back to the door before I could see it lol

[shrewd valve]

i’ve got a perfect ceska that just needs its hazard protection switched. What skill should i switch it out for on a ongoing directive build?

[undone timber]

OD isn't very good to be honest especially with everyone running st Elmo's

[shrewd valve]

not doing pvp

[undone timber]

Everyone runs Saint Elmo's in pve too lol

[shrewd valve]

yeah but i get bored of it

[undone timber]

Thing is running OD will wipe their shock ammo whenever you get hollow points

[shrewd valve]

i don’t think that’s much of an issue when i’m running countdown

[undone timber]

It's not huge it's just annoying

Cuz bleed is a fairly useless status

[jovial hull]

I hate that when I hear st Elmo I think of that little red bastard and his golden shoes

[finite hare]

@shrewd valve look bro, run whatever you want.

[vale ledge]

its fine if you want to proc something else

[shrewd valve]

nah see last time i did that i made a hana-u mortar build back when the game didn’t even have watch levels

[plush blaze]

I lost all my descent progress because of these dogshit crashing problems

[shrewd valve]

that would be my sign to get off

[plush blaze]

yup. if that's gonna happen I now have a subconcious seed of fear for "losing progress and everything" planted now

[jaunty shale]

How much did yall pay for ur warlords extension?

[narrow sun]

Just started playing th division 2 for the first time, whats one piece of advice for a new player? Ive played other looter shooters like d2 and borderlands but never a 3rd person cover shooter like this

[finite hare]

I don’t remember

[finite hare]

I bought the game two years ago, and took a two year break and I forgot even bought warlords expansion

[jaunty shale]

Ah alright

[oak prawn]

Domt bother about builds just enjoy the story and have fun

[vale ledge]

you can play with gearsets tho

they give you abilities

[oak prawn]

Most people don't they just put on whatever is the highest level gear they have atm

[surreal charm]

Hey is there anyone willing to help out a fellow division agent get to lvl 40 I’m like 8 lvl away

[oak prawn]

#lfg-xbox

[surreal charm]

Okay thanks

[full zinc]

OD bleed ammo also grants 20% amp damage. shock ammo only offers a couple seconds of cc and no damage boost. OD still pretty decent for groups of elmo users

[vale ledge]

not everybody and their parents/children run st-elmo

[oak prawn]

Alot do though

[opal radish]

just depends on players it's a nice exo weapon In a while

[vale ledge]

the weapon feels ridiculous at times, i nerf myself by using MG5 or something

[opal radish]

if you are using MG5 than Sleipner is a must

that thing is crazy

[vale ledge]

i use fast hands, Sleiper is great but I only bring it into legendary.

[opal radish]

it melts

[opal radish]

understandable fast hands is very good for lmgs like 3-4 downtime and you are dead

[west bough]

Just got a memento baby level 42 checking in 🫡

[opal radish]

just don't put it on everything

[west bough]

My g ik

[vale ledge]

i only use sadist when i'm using ridgeway, or flatline if i'm doing heartbreaker/spotter-tech stuff, else its fast hands most of the time

[west bough]

Switched from console to pc lol

-2500 shd levels

[opal radish]

feeling any difference?

never played on console

[west bough]

Runs amazing. Surprisingly enough I haven't experienced a single crash yet

Games been running for 8 hrs today

[oak prawn]

Oh just you wait

🤣

[vale ledge]

the crash is pretty random, i crashed 7 times today, but 1 time yesterday

[west bough]

Lmfao are there specific instances that force it?

[opal radish]

Yup Just Wait™

[west bough]

Heard its like at the end of missions etc

[vale ledge]

no idea, i suspect its memory being blocked by ubisoft-connect or the drm

[opal radish]

it will crash when it want to and you don't want it to

[west bough]

Lmao I see

[oak prawn]

I open task manager go to easy anti cheat set affinity to only 1 cpu and I barley crash

[west bough]

Surprised it hasn't ive been streaming it as well. My pc is hella outdated

[vale ledge]

maybe thats one way to mitigate the crash

[opal radish]

we will see I crash mostly regularly 😂

[oak prawn]

I also keep vsync off

And set the fps at a certain cap

[west bough]

Will have to remember that. Yeah vsync is always off

[oak prawn]

For me it's 120 fps

[opal radish]

it isn't necessary what works for someone else works for You just RnG in Crashes

[oak prawn]

Skill issue 🤣

[gaunt dust]

Do you guys think Massive is already working on Div 3?

[torpid plume]

No

[oak prawn]

No

[opal radish]

no

[west bough]

0 crashes in 2 days EZ Clap Prayge

[gaunt dust]

Why

[oak prawn]

We still got heartland and resurgence

[opal radish]

Heartland is in beta and avatar too

[gaunt dust]

Right but I’m not hearing good things

[oak prawn]

Div 3 is probably not on thier to do list

[vale ledge]

they just need to fix the crash and reorg TD2 content

the games still look good

[opal radish]

if div3 was in their to do list game should have been dying not getting content

[gaunt dust]

So far at least..and Heartland won’t be near as intuitive as Div2

[oak prawn]

Well the crashes happen due to an error in the games code huntres

[opal radish]

that's happened when switched from div1 to div2

[vale ledge]

it doesnt happen to consoles tho

so i really suspect its the ubisoft connect and other drm stuff

[opal radish]

Nowadays few people play div1

[oak prawn]

Div1 DZ is still the best

[opal radish]

It's EAC imo ubisoft connect

[gaunt dust]

From what I heard Heartland won’t have builds

[vale ledge]

TD1 lacks certain QoL features like the camera... also missing terrain heights

[opal radish]

yeah but it is stable

like I just played resistance yesterday for 3 hours

[oak prawn]

I wanted to have stealth takedowns but that idea for scrapped🥲

[opal radish]

got to wave 38 in peir 93

WT5

not a single problem

[gaunt dust]

Also shouldn’t they have to support Div 2 at least two more yrs? Even if there’s a Div 3?

[oak prawn]

We don't know what is coming after Y5

And with 2 new games coming

[gaunt dust]

Interesting

[opal radish]

yup

[oak prawn]

I think once heartland and resurgence drop thsy will focus on keeping them alive for a while

[molten spire]

Heartland and Resurgence are by different teams

[vale ledge]

Ubisoft has alot of 'throwaway' titles

Ubisoft still learning how to do games-as-a-service.

[gaunt dust]

You guys don’t think they’ll want to put out Div 3 in time for Bungies Marathon?

[oak prawn]

For all we know Y5 could be the end of div2

We probably won't know till next year when Y5S4 drops

[vale ledge]

TD3 is a risky proposition right now, I doubt they have sufficient manpower and time for it

they want to build Apex Legends kind of thing via R6.Siege

[gaunt dust]

They have 20,000 employees

[molten spire]

Unless Div 3 has Survival at launch, the market overlap between a third person extraction shooter and a first person one is a bit limited

[vale ledge]

20,000 employees, not all full time

[molten spire]

not all of which are dedicated to any one game or studio as well

[opal radish]

for div3 to work it has to combine best of div1 and div2

marketing too

not everyone is developer

[gaunt dust]

It’ll be huge at least when it does drop

[shrewd valve]

is it possible to turn eclipse protocol into a room nuke build?

[gaunt dust]

Plus their working on a new Ghost Recon

[molten spire]

The Ubisoft Model (TM) is having multiple teams of developers across different studios developing different projects that come out at various times

[opal radish]

yup

[vale ledge]

the last few franchises Ubisoft kinda messed up, heard they going back to the roots, but so many complaints about star wars:outlaw and defiant and stuff...

[opal radish]

it can clear a room on heroic easy

yeah

[shrewd valve]

seriously?

[molten spire]

All skill tier with chest, backpack and Vile, Fire chem, any enemy that dies sets the entire room on fire

[shrewd valve]

could you tell me the template?

[oak prawn]

New AC coming this fall looks like they going back to the roots

[opal radish]

no classics like splinter cell Prince of Persia

[vale ledge]

Eclipse: only bring Vile if you do fire...if foam use other things

[opal radish]

and 1 pcs electique or golan

[shrewd valve]

hm okay so i have to use fire

[gaunt dust]

New Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, AC, XDefiant

[opal radish]

bag and chest are muat

[molten spire]

it's more an issue of those remakes falling into the ether

[oak prawn]

Xdefiant has potential assuming they don't pull an EA

[opal radish]

POP remake has been delayed and delayed

[gaunt dust]

Right

[molten spire]

GR Frontlines is basically dead

[vale ledge]

Ubisoft cant' really do classics unless they want to take even more risk by catering to the older players.

[gaunt dust]

They can do a mix

Which is likely

[molten spire]

EA would be preferable to whatever Activision is doing with the current exploiting situations with any CoD older than MW2

[vale ledge]

take Square-Enix for example, FF16 + Octopath2. FF16 is great for newcomers but get shitted upon by some classic FF ppl. Octopath2 is shunned by newcomers.

[opal radish]

what happened to ftc vs Microsoft

[gaunt dust]

We won’t know until next week

[molten spire]

Splinter Cell Blacklist tried accommodating the Conviction gunplay with the classic stealth stuff.

It sold the worst out of the games, although I wonder how much of that is Conviction's fault

[opal radish]

ok

[vale ledge]

Microsoft AB merger is delayed, but their existing merge contract dateline will end soon (need renewal)

this is problematic for Microsoft and AB

probably +losses for Microsoft

[opal radish]

same with tower and Intel deal

deadline is close

Microsoft is trying to be monopolistic like Sony has on consoles

[vale ledge]

hard to get profit margins out there for the C* people

[gaunt dust]

Xbox deserves a win
