[grizzled moon]

join on me

[reef reef]

no?

[grizzled moon]

you didn't seem very sure of that no

[reef reef]

my guy i am not even playing division 2 right now

[grizzled moon]

oh what are you doing?

[reef reef]

try all you want to get me to play, i've got other games i wanna play

i'm getting ready for some valorant lmao

[grizzled moon]

i'm about to run some descent once i get a 4some

[reef reef]

Thats cool.

[grizzled moon]

where would be my best bet to finding a solid team?

[reef reef]

#lfg-pc

[wise basalt]

i saw a skull icon w/ an orange bar underneath that fills up. What's that icon for?

[reef reef]

on your hud?

[wise basalt]

yeah, here's a screenshot of it
https://imgur.com/a/2si3Hk7
Skull icon between Headhunter and Determined

[real creek]

Concussion yeah?

[wise basalt]

no the player in that screenshot is using ninja bpk

[reef reef]

too small for me to tell

[real creek]

Is it a hot shot build?

[wise basalt]

yeah, is that what that symbol is related to?

[real creek]

Might be the headshot counter for hots

[wise basalt]

yeah ur right, just looked at a hotshot piece and that's what the symbol is for the 4 pc bonus

[real creek]

4pc hotshot is pretty meh imo tho

Sniper build has tons of freedom especially in lower diff so build it however you want really.

[wise basalt]

yeah I've been testing one that I put together w/ ninja, 3 aces, 1 hotshot, and 1 habsburg chest w/ headhunter. Using white death/scorpio. This setup slaps.

[real creek]

I mean you can chain kills solo heroic with a WD determined, chain killer, and grey gear. I've tested it myself. You've got LOTS of freedom for this type of build.

[iron tide]

hello

[jovial kiln]

I bought the warlords dlc :D but now all the exotics I had before that are now level 30 D:

[stoic bane]

You can reroll them at the crafting bench, and they'll become lvl 40

[jovial kiln]

Oh crap I forgot about that

[fleet brook]

Hello does anyone know a fix to get Cindy’s manhunt to 25% cause I’m current at 20

I did everything

Don’t know much since I just bought the dlc

[dire ravine]

Have you talked to everyone at Castle

[thorny talon]

hi

[fleet brook]

I hope I did but I check tomorrow, I did the last bounty mission with my friend and heard only the group leader can get 25 only and I joined his session

[tender wave]

Yeah the manhunts often bug if you don't do everything solo, current fix is to reset it and run the whole thing again

[cedar flicker]

Any newbie here?

[fervent turtle]

me 😄

[heavy dirge]

i'm caught up with all the descent blueprints. i feel accomplished.

[azure lintel]

I'm coming up on SHD 1400 and still feel like a newbie. What's up?

[regal tapir]

So I started playing Div2 for once. I have the DLC as well and so far. Been enjoying it

[cedar flicker]

Still 40 here 😄

[azure lintel]

The icon for Bloody Knuckles feels like it's super low-res and that annoys me way more than it should

[charred torrent]

btw, thanks to everyone here that has provided help, returning to the game and catching up felt challenging enough, and learning about reclibrations was a world of difference. Can't believe all the gear I salvaged before knowing about it

[tropic compass]

😭😭 reading old messages on ps can't believe I told people to leave on razorback to invite clan members

[proper marten]

ubi can u not place me in asia conflict servers when im eu ty

or better yet remove conflict from the game considering u dont even care about it

[azure lintel]

I got a communication ban on Warframe for typing 'trap' in the global chat. Everyone laughed at me and I couldn't say anything for an hour

We've all got things we're not proud of 😬

[regal tapir]

Ain't on topic but lmao

[twilit stag]

Ah yes i remember that, was implemented because of Nezha

[azure lintel]

I just wanted to know how to make Simaris like me 😦

[waxen root]

What does JTF stand for?

Joint Task Force? Idk

[zinc shadow]

Joint Task Force

[twilit stag]

Join task Forces or something

[waxen root]

Ah so I was right

Okiedokie thank you

[toxic anvil]

Yo

[delicate onyx]

anyone know how to fix this game freezes issue in division 2 pc it always freezes everytime i play like 20 min or so wtf

[opal radish]

Welcome to division 2 regular issue

[undone timber]

Countdown moment

[opal radish]

5.11 Meta Moment

[hybrid ore]

@delicate onyx You should check your RAM usage during those moments. I was having the same issue a while back.
quickest solution was to close my browser whilst the game was open.

[sour void]

Is Golden Bullet the next GE?

Because I desperately want to try some fire rate experiments.

[delicate onyx]

i'll let you know if there's still any crashes/freezes :C

[fiery cloud]

Hey Aspect, Souless, Gogamer, Rivens,

[opal radish]

Hi Saph

[unique summit]

Think I'll do some shopping today.

Checks date

Nevermind.

[azure lintel]

You know, I'd be in that same boat but for my phone blowing up today with the most unnecessary sales ever.
Can't wait to get on later and continue to get poor Grupo backpack rolls. It's the energy I need to start the weekend off

[cedar flicker]

I want to ask. After we finish the story. How we farm the green equipment?

[full zinc]

You can target specific brands or equipment type later in the game. I'm not sure when target loot becomes available but in the map it will show what area has an increased allocation of specific types.

[potent condor]

Either that or check to see if your ram speed is set to whatever frequency

[small remnant]

hey, i want to buy seazon pakiet, but this is till worth? I see this sezon its end.

[iron tide]

when doing count down why does it sometimes play the intro and sometimes not?

[full zinc]

Spaghetti code

[full zinc]

You have plenty of time left in the season to complete if you want to get the season pass.

You can also just grind your season and buy the pass later. It will give you all the premium track items retroactively if you purchase when it is complete.

[small remnant]

ok, thanks. So i can buy witohut scarry 😉

[tropic compass]

Lol dude on skill builds decoy got destroyed instantly and caused us to wipe

[fleet brook]

Bruh

[azure lintel]

The real season pass is the friends we made along the way or something

[deep atlas]

Hello! I just bought the game as it was on steam sale. I was wondering if there is a beginners guide/group tailored for new players on this platform?

[tranquil ember]

Just bought the dlc

Can someone help me with the normal campaign so i can go to the dlc faster (i know i can skip but i would like to finish the main campaign first)

[unique summit]

The main story of the game is like one big tutorial. Things are introduced to you little by little and the difficulty is pretty forgiving.

Just follow the quest markers and do the projects on your list 🙂

[timber hatch]

Try the call for backup option in the game

[tranquil ember]

Trying

Still nothing tho

[full zinc]

there is #lfg-playstation that may help in locating a group/help. there is also a boost option that will take you right to lvl 30 and able to jump into the dlc.

[jovial silo]

i tried to find matchmaking and i cant find

mode is hard also i tired others difficulty`s but its not

can someone tell me plz?

[dim terrace]

If u are on now and still need help, I have an hour plus to play... PSN is rashbak

[devout knot]

guyssssss, what's the difference between the WONY edition and Ultimate?

[hybrid ore]

@devout knot The Ultimate Edition contains the Year 1 Pass, which is the only extra thing that's sort of worth still getting.
it contains bonus cosmetics for the Spec Trees (and instantly unlocks 3 of them) and 8 extra fast travel points in DC. in the form of "Classified Assignments".

the rest of what the edition contains is just cosmetic, and you can get better cosmetics by just playing.

so tl;dr
get WONY+year 1 pass if it's cheaper than WONY Ultimate.

[devout knot]

gotcha, it's for a friend

now I'm trying to convince him to not skip the campaign

[hybrid ore]

If they haven't played a div game before then they are in for a heck of a time skipping straight to WONY's campaign.

[devout knot]

yep, and while I know story isn't exactly the most memorable thing, I think it's kinda fun, both 1 and 2. He will jump straight into 2 though, so I'm trying harder so he doesn't reach endgame without knowing how to play the game

[hybrid ore]

WONY's campaign will teach them a fair bit, so luckily they will be forced to play that.
although the Manhunts are going to be rather confusing.

[jovial silo]

is there possible to change region?

[devout knot]

I think the regular campaign does a decent job at limiting how much stuff is on the screen for a bit

that helps learning from scratch

[fickle edge]

for eclipse cc builds do yall use techincian or survivalist?

[hybrid ore]

if you're going for CC, Survivalist is probably the way to go. Technician mainly has the free skill tier, which gives you a space for a Red Core.
although firewall is an option if you want, well, fire.

[hybrid ore]

VPN's exist.
Do with that information what you will.

[hexed moss]

Ye vpns are great, inexpensive and easy to use

not like ssl vpns with fortigate licences🤮

[blazing citrus]

keep in mind though that free vpns can be sketchy

if youre not paying for the product you might be the product

0.0

[hexed moss]

As long as you don't pay there's always something sketchy going on. Nothing's free

[blazing citrus]

but with todays sponsor n... (THIS IS A JOKE)

[trim lynx]

If your a Xbox player and looking for an active clan message me and I can show you one. They helped with a flawless incursion run for me and run incursion daily

[limpid pond]

WTH is going on with Kelso in NYC?

[waxen root]

i have a clip of Kelso inside of a wall lmao (i know thats not what youre talking about but still)

[full zinc]

#td2-clan-recruitment for this type of stuff, likely to get deleted otherwise, js

[trim lynx]

Ok

[hybrid ore]

Bingo, it's best to pretend that free ones don't exist.
I currently use Mullvad and have had no problems with it.

[blazing citrus]

i use the malwarebytes one which is tied in with the anti everything

[waxen root]

is there crossplay in this game?

[hybrid ore]

Not between platforms, but yes between the same paltform.
e.g. yes for ps4/5, and no for pc/xbox/ps

[waxen root]

that sucks

i dont want to add people on ps to play :/

[hybrid ore]

Unless it works differently on console, you can just invite directly ingame.

[waxen root]

maybe im not sure. theres no like "add ubi friend" or anything like that

[fluid meadow]

Unless you're in the hub or dz you can't directly invite

[hybrid ore]

Yep, the chat command is "/invite [namehere]"

[waxen root]

i didnt even know there was a chat lol

i never see anyone type in it, nor do i know how to open it

[fluid meadow]

You can use commands on console?

[hybrid ore]

IIRC Due to some EU laws, I believe every online game must have a way to communicate without mics.
Which I'm rather grateful for, since I can't use a mic.

[waxen root]

that is very cool indeed

so how tf do i open it hahaha

[hybrid ore]

down on the d-pad.

[waxen root]

aint no way

[fluid meadow]

Right you can't chat unless you're in group lol

[waxen root]

so in order to make a group in game using the chat you have to be in a group to make the group

makes sense

[fluid meadow]

I honestly doubt the command would work

[waxen root]

you never know haha

[fluid meadow]

I guess another way of inviting without adding is joining a clan and invite members

[waxen root]

i guess so but i cba to join one

[hybrid ore]

Unless they made a big mistake, you could try just "call for backup"

[magic atlas]

call for backup intensifies

[fluid meadow]

Forgot that mechanic existed

[waxen root]

i never answer backup calls hahaha

[fluid meadow]

You can turn them off

[waxen root]

sometimes they dont even need backup

[hybrid ore]

You should send out invites whenever you want a quick hand. You can get a full team in most cases after 3 calls, during a mission it usually takes under a minute for a full team.

just make sure you re-call after each one.

[magic atlas]

on xbox it's just people farming open world with all directives that don't commend so I stopped answering

[waxen root]

so ive just been introduced to seasons and theres 3 days left, fastest way to get stars issss?

[hybrid ore]

is there 3 days left on the current Event, or the actual Season?

[fluid meadow]

Shd exposed

[hybrid ore]

Yeah that's just an Event, the Season itself has...some amount of multiple weeks left.

[waxen root]

i have no clue... i just activated something haha..

[fluid meadow]

I'd suggest venturing to countdown with strikers as targeted and picking as many pieces as you can

Best place to farm many things

[waxen root]

Strikers?

[fluid meadow]

It's a gearset that has pretty much the best single target dps

[waxen root]

alright I’ll give it a go

Is there any point in extracting Armor Regen from something?

Like is that ever used?

[fluid meadow]

Your best bet is to extract any godrolled attribute in an otherwise bad piece no matter the attribute

Except health

You will NEVER use health

[waxen root]

Yeah I never use items with health unless the other stuff on it is way more useful

[hybrid ore]

Nah do health too.
you never know. That's the thing. You never, ever know what the meta will be randomly one day.

[fluid meadow]

Unless the innate value of health is increased. It's practically useless

[waxen root]

Oooo should I extract 11.3% weapon dmg or 11.5% crit hit damage from my holster?

[fluid meadow]

Crit

You'll recalibrate it more often than weapon damage

[waxen root]

Oh yeah! I found a FAL with max AR dmg on it earlier :))

The fal is honestly an amazing gun

[neon wyvern]

it's the worst ar

[magic atlas]

let him dream

[waxen root]

I worked for me, I dropped everyone

[hybrid ore]

AK is only saying that because they like the AK series: the actual worst AR's.

[waxen root]

Ahhhh makes sense

[potent condor]

hoi rivens

[hybrid ore]

Okay that's a lie, that'd be the f2000.

[magic atlas]

let him be a manic pixie dream girl

[fluid meadow]

Mk16

[hybrid ore]

hey Serap, Saph

[neon wyvern]

Atleast I don't have a permanent -10 mag size deficiency

[waxen root]

Smol mag = more dmg 🤓

[hybrid ore]

That's because the AK's shoot at 1 bullet every calendar year.

[neon wyvern]

only capacitor gets go do that

[small spear]

binoculars

[hybrid ore]

People always forget about the manic part of that.

[waxen root]

Amazing gun again haha, I was using it for most of my WONY play through

[fluid meadow]

Get ready to use only 3 ars

C7 M4 Famas

[neon wyvern]

elmos

[fluid meadow]

Shhh

[waxen root]

The M4 is wonderful, C7 was good but I think I prefer the M4 fire rate. I’ve never touched a famas yet

[hybrid ore]

Famas is kinda like if a Vector evolved a bit.
and could hit the broad side of a barn. Sorry DW, I still love you.

[waxen root]

So famas shoots really fast with good range?

[fluid meadow]

900 rpm and easy recoil

[waxen root]

Jesusssss

I want. Now

[neon wyvern]

it has a highish dmg dropoff

[waxen root]

Shhhhhh

Stop tryna ruin my gun experiences

[neon wyvern]

Improving*

[waxen root]

No ruining

[fluid meadow]

Farm AR targeted and GL

Or farm countdown with AR targeted

[waxen root]

GL?

[fluid meadow]

Good Luck

[waxen root]

And how exactly would I farm

[waxen root]

Oh thank you

[hybrid ore]

Famas actually has only 4m less range than the FAL, which is kind of crazy.
28 and 32 respectively.

[fluid meadow]

You can queue a match for countdown. You can go to it through the map on the top right corner or go to the pilot and choose the countdown option

Challenging difficulty is your go to

[neon wyvern]

lol anything to get this guy off the FAL

[waxen root]

What about without doing countdown for now?

[hybrid ore]

I'll make sure I suggest the Manic next time :p

[waxen root]

I’m not using it nowww, I’m using the AUG

I was using the fal but I needed more bullets to kill Keener

Should I be using an extended mag or one that’s like 10% crit dmg

[neon wyvern]

always mag size attachments

[waxen root]

Hmmmm

[hybrid ore]

For crit builds, here is your mod setup on guns:
crit chance (chc) on everything, and the biggest mag (normally +20) that you can find.

That'll work on pretty much every red crit gun.

[waxen root]

I only have a +10 for now

[hybrid ore]

It's likely from CP's at Lvl 3/4, so you should probably start to farm those out.
You're gonna want a lot of stuff from them.

[waxen root]

Alrighty I was about to go check one out

I also put my world difficulty on challenging, idk if that was a good idea but we shall see haha

[hybrid ore]

yeah Challenging is a great spot to start that stuff. That way enemies won't drop purples anymore.

btw make sure you delete any gearmods that aren't Lvl 40.

[waxen root]

But will I die fast?

[hybrid ore]

Probably at first, but you'll learn from it.

[waxen root]

Can I keep the ones I have equipped? They’re actually good for the level they are

[hybrid ore]

Sure why not, just you should start to filter out anything that's not Lvl 40 before too long.

[waxen root]

I shall start doing that. The ones I have equipped are some crit chance ones, not the best but the only ones I have

[hybrid ore]

Hey whatever helps.

[waxen root]

Ewww I hate the way armour is displayed now, I thought it would go back to normal when I came back to DC

[waxen root]

That feeling when you clear 2 control points then realise you were in the zone for rifles not assault rifles

I don’t even see assault rifles on the map?

I am in fact blind, sadly it’s only a main mission and not an area :/

[neon wyvern]

summit let's you select targeted loot

[iron tide]

and countdown

[waxen root]

Still I wanna start with what I’m familiar with first

Also my mission won’t start

[neon wyvern]

press a difficulty and it will turn blue

[waxen root]

Ohhhh

Thank you

[azure lintel]

Countdown it is!

[cedar flicker]

I just defeat keeners. Where the spot to farm exotic n green equipment?

[kind veldt]

countdown game mode

quick 15 min 8 players game mode that people just run around and kill everything, you can select the targetted loot

[potent condor]

@hybrid ore what’s a good descent build

[tranquil kestrel]

simply matchmake on hard difficulty and run bounties. arround 2 hours I get arround 12 greens and 2 or 3 legendaries

[cedar flicker]

Thanks

[limpid pond]

actually it is

[twilit stag]

ok i redownloaded Div 1 to try and it's so much better and ithink the main reason is the character desing, all backpacks in div 1 are like very compact and neat and in Div 2 you have these massive Trailers on your back

[kind veldt]

all i remember that due some weird changes they cant really make good single strap backpacks for agents

[twilit stag]

but it's crazy how well it keeps up considering how old the game is, in terms of enviorement way ahead of Div 2 tho, the way i see it Div 1 and Div 2 is like Diablo 2 and Diablo 3, D2 is grimdark and D3 is Rainbows and flowers

[proud pollen]

you able to transfer ur account from xbox onto pc? your progress and loot

[tranquil kestrel]

shouldn't. Since it's a Ubi account it's all online.

[tranquil kestrel]

Sorry just checked and I'm wrong. You can't

[proud pollen]

fuck thank you tho g

[iron tide]

is there a way to kill a hyena in 1 shot without a tac50?

can the nemesis do enough body dmg to kill one

[agile pendant]

outside of named i have killed elites with tac50 enough times

it hits very had

[iron tide]

i did say without a tac 50

[kind veldt]

plenty can with the right setup

chainkiller, determined, nemesis, mantis, glass cannon

anything that lets you stack dumb levels of damage and clear shot should

you might need to be more specific about difficulty and player scalling

[real creek]

M870 ez

[iron tide]

i think it might be due to the all shots are headshots make it the pain

[desert fulcrum]

when i finish new york and go to dc, is there world tiers still? cause i cant tell

[kind veldt]

nope

it's all lv40, no more world tiers

[desert fulcrum]

oh yeah the shade level

[cunning forum]

someone else had problems with items being dropped from teammates that disappear

[tropic breach]

does protection from elites includes players on DZ?

[small spear]

no

players are not elites

[iron tide]

what about npc rouge agents?

and named

[small spear]

those do

[green charm]

hi. The dark zone is all not normalized like the first days of the game or stil normalized the non black tusk area?

[shy musk]

need season pas.........

[hybrid ore]

You actually don't, the Season Pass's paid tier is just cosmetic stuff+excess caches. All the actual content is in the free one.

[shy musk]

i want hunter outfit 😭

[green charm]

no one can answer? 🙂

for the hunter have a free one with texile

[hybrid ore]

If you have Covert from the store or Stinger from the Friend Referral, you actually already have it, since it shares the same model and the only thing different is the colour.

source: i have all 3.

[shy musk]

need to find friends.........

[hybrid ore]

Maybe if you reword it, might be a bit easier to understand.

[green charm]

wait i translate with google 🙂

Are all the areas normalized in the dark zone?

[shy musk]

wdym by normalized

[green charm]

can explain without abbreviation?

[hybrid ore]

Sure, take your time in trying to explain it.

[green charm]

i mean on leo wdym i dont know what is it 🙂

[hybrid ore]

wdym = what do you mean

if you're ever unsure about slang on the internet, you can just google the word and then "slang".

[green charm]

ah well normalized is the statistic, attributes, normalized in dark zone. Time ago is called normalized in italian i dont know if is same in english

[hybrid ore]

The Dark Zone does not scale your character to match everyone else, no.

[green charm]

ah ok. Because the day one of the division 2 the dark zone differences is the black tusk not scale but other one is different

maybe now is changed it

because i not played dark zone from long time 🙂

[storm thistle]

why do my td2 in epic games unavalaible for download?

[wise basalt]

don't u have to link ur epic acct to ur ubi acct? But I think once u do, u can just download/install the game from ubi acct, unless that's been changed

[finite mortar]

is it possible to reset legacy manhunt targets? i remember completing all of em but now it shows only 1 is completed?

[jagged canyon]

Anyone else got a problem with spawning yannick the beard

Never had issues before but the past couple days he doesn't spawn when doing jumping jacks in the circle

[opal radish]

Maybe Yannick shaved his beard

[azure lintel]

Yannick Smoothface sounds like a middling character in Skyrim instead

[unique summit]

Was Jupiter the first time they introduced those EMP pulse station things?

[sterile ferry]

you mean modified EMPs? i think so yeah

[silk ridge]

how do i complete the stovepipe man hunt, after i have taken down schaeffer? it keeps saying its locked

[unique summit]

yea those ones that pulse and you gotta stay out of LOS

[shy mirage]

I just bought td2 last night, I would like to play with a semi consistent group, is anyone playing on sat, and sun evenings after 8pm and Wed, Thurs, and Fri?

[shy musk]

currently seething over the tkb and the attachment models just not fitting anywhere

[gray hawk]

hello im new playing this game but wanted to ask how can i play solo on Jefferson Trade Center

[fluid meadow]

Normalised only works from level 1 to gearscore. It's abandoned in level 40

[green charm]

thx 🙂

[fluid meadow]

Used to normalise weapon damage and the base armor of gear to that of level 40

[green charm]

thx again

[waxen tendon]

hi. anyone know why i still dont have the powerbank uniform? i have all of the other outfits completed. is tehre something special i need to do to get it?

[clever sandal]

Game worth getting back into? Is it active still and is dv3 coming soonish or is it good to come back now?

[elfin hazel]

still active

div 3 isnt coming for years if it does

[clever sandal]

Aye bet appreciate it

[tender wave]

If the mission icon is grey just select a difficulty option for it to reactivate it

[frozen meadow]

I had another division dream about a raid

[opal radish]

BIG leak by Eevee New Raid Incoming

[frozen meadow]

So like

It was this really big area

Incredibly large like you needed a vehicle to get around

And you had a timer like countdown

You had to get as much done in the timer as possible

[opal radish]

So we have some countdown style directives too run fast

[frozen meadow]

But

When the timers up then the play area starts to shrink

But you're still getting attacked mercilessly

[opal radish]

Mhhh

[oblique peak]

Hi anyone else here on EPIC Games that shows the game as 'Server Offline'?

[frozen meadow]

Epic messed up you need to boot through Ubisoft

[opal radish]

I have the game on epic

And I never use it

You need to play through ubisoft launcher

[oblique peak]

Copy that appreciate the quick assist.

[cedar flicker]

Coyote mask is drop from boss jefferson trade right?

[tender wave]

It has about a 5% drop chance on heroic from final boss, yes

But it can drop anywhere else too

[frozen meadow]

I wish they published TL drop chances

[cedar flicker]

I dont have luck then.. it drop merciless on me

[azure lintel]

hey guys

[sterile ferry]

I wish invaded dz had selectable targeted loot including yaahl and system corruption

[grizzled heron]

Hey

[azure lintel]

im on ps5 if anybody wants to add me

[jagged canyon]

Rlly tho anyone else had it buggin out.

I just wanna kill him. Is that too much to ask

[azure lintel]

Yeah man, no idea. Spawned him a loooong time ago, it wasn't an issue but I don't doubt that there might be issues with it now

(things not working that previously used to be. I think I did hear something about specific Hunters not working for other people). Sorry, can't help much more than that!

[forest panther]

i think that was a part of the apparel event wasn't it?

[unique summit]

Keep BR out of my Division lmao

[frozen meadow]

whats that

oh nvm you mean battle royale

[forest panther]

actually i think it would be an interesting mode to try out

[kind veldt]

we had survival as the closese thing adn that was good enough

and kinda goes against make your own build design

as far as i am aware heartlands is going to play quite closer to a shooter over RPG because of that

[forest panther]

i think you could still do the gear mechanic in division 2 in a battle royale style way, make the mode a pve or pvp option too would be very interesting as well as having difficulty levels on the PVE side of it

[undone timber]

Eh survival is probably the closest we'll get

[forest panther]

even so survival was a bit too much for me to do solo, i had to team up with some friends to do it

[undone timber]

Welllll wasn't meant to be easy

And afaik there was a PvE only option

[forest panther]

i know that but coming from someone who played quite a few survival type games even survival mode in div 1 was beyond that scope honestly

[full zinc]

Survival pretty much was battle royal.
Start with nothing, build up gear as you're working towards dz then extraction

[undone timber]

Sepsis being the soft time limit

[full zinc]

Probably why it was so popular. That was back when pubg was still an arma mod 🤣

[kind veldt]

yeha no reason to go directly into BR if you have PVP enabled survival

which once agains loop to the entire point of having heartlands as a game

[undone timber]

Heartlands is supposed to be PvPvE at night or something right

[kind veldt]

bunch of game modes including more PVE focused and more PVP focused

well extraction shooters are kinda weird spin off battle royales

[forest panther]

i still think even as a stand alone game it would be interesting to see, they could even put survival in the stand alone game as a added mode for those who want it back with updated mechanics from division 2

[kind veldt]

you do know what heartlands is?

[sterile ferry]

Lmao

[opal radish]

Lol

[thick sluice]

Hello o/
I'm a bit lost in the hunt 😦
In order to find Mel Arnold, the games tells me about "Green House Cimmunity", but I have no mission there. I can enter the building, but it's empty -_-
How do I get around that bug ?

[kind veldt]

is it a bounty by any chance?

[thick sluice]

Yes it is

Mmmh

No it's a side mission

Normally, but for the Hunt thing, I have to find four people, the one I'm on the Mel Arnold, and the mission is not spawning

[gray hawk]

hello there's no grey icon on it

[thick sluice]

Nope

That's why i'm a bit lost x)

[gray hawk]

only has blue and triangle icon

[kind veldt]

post an image of the map on #ask-td2-community since you can post screenshots in there

[thick sluice]

Oh okie dokie, I'll go there

[gray hawk]

ok thanks

[thick sluice]

Posted ! As you can see, there is no icon what so ever

[devout girder]

Anybody know why on my map (on a NEW character) my countdown options isn’t there?

[kind veldt]

need to visit al DZs first for some reason

[green eagle]

what loot do i select on CD for st elmos engine

like to get the gun

[small spear]

assault rifles

[green eagle]

ok

[soft wren]

hey i have a question. i want to get back into this game but i have it on epic and it says server offline

i dont know how to fix it

any help?

[fervent flame]

yo is anyone having issues logging in?

[soft wren]

i cant even load the game up

[low creek]

Hi!Who whant to help a poor 34 level to get to level 40? 😄

[charred talon]

i just went 7 hours heroic all directives on in summit to get an exotic drop of the same shotgun im using but worse
PAIN

[full zinc]

Try countdown. You get enough credits for an exo cache every 2 challenging runs, 30mins + whatever drops from the target loot

[full zinc]

Call for backup. There are always ppl responding.
Or try #lfg-pc

[forest panther]

how do you accept call for backup calls on xbox? i hold the double window button but it only takes me to the map

[full zinc]

Map > shd tab. It should show a tooltip for the button to accept once the call is selected

[forest panther]

there's not

[full zinc]

It does on pc. 🤷‍♂️ idk then

[forest panther]

i wonder if the button will show if i connect a controller to the PC version then

[charred talon]

thanks, i'll try that next

[quasi verge]

Taking you to the map is what accepting backup calls appear to do by default. Then there's another button you have to hold to actually go to the player. Should be detailed at the bottom of the map on screen.

On PC it's Hold M for map and then, I think, Hold R to go to the call.

[fiery cloud]

Hope Everyone's having a great day gaming

[thick jasper]

Is descent worth the time?

[primal elm]

Hello, can anyone help me with my issue? Im frustrated and dont know where else post this. When i launch the game, it looks like my gpu is dying, maybe its called artifacts, but its only with the division 2, tried few things but nothing helped, please help me:D

[forest panther]

do you know the xbox button for going to the player and i'm on PC version i don't see any buttons down at the bottom of the map with a shortcut of R key

[quasi verge]

Since I play on PC, no, I do not know the XBox button. Provided you respond to a backup call promptly you should see, below the map in amongst all the other stuff the map wants you to do, a button that responds to the call. If you are a bit late, the call may have been canceled or already fulfilled and so the game will not show you the option to respond to it.
I assure you it is there if you do everything correctly.

[forest panther]

that's just it, i do respond to it quickly and its still there for a good 5 minutes before disappearing but there's no button once it pulls me to the map

[full zinc]

ill post a ss of what to look for to answer calls in #ask-td2-community

[azure lintel]

It's the two squares overlapping on the Xbox controller. The call comes in, you just hold it and it assumes that's what you were pressing it for

[forest panther]

i know that, i hold that and it takes me to the map but that's all it does

[azure lintel]

@full zinc put a screenshot in #ask-td2-community, but as long as you know you have to hold that button rather than press it, you should be good

[forest panther]

that doesn't show up on my xbox version with a controller button shortcut

[azure lintel]

That's weird. Is there a setting on PC that prevents joining other players? Privacy thing?

[kind veldt]

not that i know of

[forest panther]

would it matter that i'm in WONY?

[azure lintel]

No, you can answer calls anywhere

[full zinc]

thats weird. not that im aware of. i get calls if im set top provate... maybe if group is set to do not disturb

[quasi verge]

On Call Status under Gameplay in the menu.

[forest panther]

fairlyy new lvl 30 boosted character?

[forest panther]

its set to all

[full zinc]

oh, are you between 30-40

[azure lintel]

There it is. I don't think you can do it until you've got your watch, right?

[forest panther]

really?

[quasi verge]

hmm

I'm not sure about that.

[forest panther]

thought you could even before the watch

[full zinc]

well probably join another pre shd wony run. but probably not someone already finished

i know i cant invite ppl on wony runs

[azure lintel]

Something's up though. That 'answer the call' button is appearing down in the bottom left for me too

I'll test some privacy things and see if I can get it to hide

[full zinc]

most likely its a pre shd thing. call was probably coming in from post keener shd agent

[quasi verge]

https://www.polygon.com/division-2-guide/2019/3/14/18263898/agent-in-need-of-backup

[forest panther]

one of them said wall street though

[azure lintel]

Yeah I can only get it to hide by turning on call status to blocked. If Vegetto was hearing 'agent requesting backup', that wouldn't be the issue

[full zinc]

people still run around wony after they have the watch tho. sometimes for daily missions

[azure lintel]

Yeah, and a lot of seasonal stuff is still held there

[forest panther]

all i have under SHD tab when i hold the double window button and it takes me to the map is open call status, call for backup hide shepherd rank details and close map

[full zinc]

it would only show answer call if it was highlighted

[quasi verge]

Guess your game is broke.

[azure lintel]

I think there's a privacy thing there. Have you been able to matchmake with anyone before Vegetto?

[full zinc]

yup, come to PC, we have 🍿 🍻

[forest panther]

yea, plenty of times

[forest panther]

i have PC version i'm working on the xbox version at the moment lol

[azure lintel]

Then I'm officially at a loss. Im able to answer backup calls and can let people down just fine on there

[forest panther]

thanks @quasi verge for posting that article it helped me see what the button was although it doesn't show when i hold the double window button and it takes me to the map, i don't know why but i guess it is broken or maybe its cause of my xbox being so old

[deep knot]

You know what would be interesting?
A mission where you work alongside a rogue agent for some reason.

Maybe it could show that not all rogue agents are completely bad guys.

[zinc shadow]

All rogue agents are bad guys.

[faint knoll]

hi, could someone to help me with a bug?

the bug is that when I open the game my screen becomes really dark

literaly, I mean that I cant see as well couse that

[twilit stag]

oh wow, ouro its so good that it feels good even on a Full blue Foundry bulwark build o:

[azure lintel]

It is just that good

I'm working towards a blue core Striker build with Ouro. I know I'm going to be tanky as heck and still have great DPS

[faint knoll]

bruh

[azure lintel]

Sorry, we don't know. #unofficial-troubleshooting should though

[faint knoll]

thanks

[iron tide]

dont know the best place to ask this as its about div1 but its from the perspective of div2

never played 1 and thinking of giving it a go

[zinc shadow]

#td1-general

[carmine ember]

considering getting back into the division 2. well, i mean. im downloading it so i will get back into it. ive never actually finished the game, so im planning on finishing it for the first time now

i have been looking for a clan but i really don't know if any of them are for me because they're all mic required and i don't like talking lol

[west bough]

u dont finish d2, d2 finishes you 😂

[carmine ember]

i mainly just mean the campaign tbh

[kind veldt]

div 1 is still a good game

it's content just stopped

[carmine ember]

i actually finished div 1, the only thing i hadnt done in that game were some of the incursions because i was a loner

[kind veldt]

just matchmake, you shouldnt have a problem since 90% of people run classified builds that let you bulldoze through content

[carmine ember]

i have no clue what a classified build is lol

[kind veldt]

it's the OP gear sets

[opal radish]

Div1 gearsets

[kind veldt]

that have bonus if you wear 5 nad 6 pieces instead of just 4

[carmine ember]

ahhhh i see

[opal radish]

6 pcs bonus were crazy

[kind veldt]

they are very very busted

more busted than anything we had in div 2

[carmine ember]

im actually excited to get into the game again especially after destiny 2 has consistently been letting me down over and over again

[opal radish]

Lol

[kind veldt]

classified gear sets make div 1 legendary feel like div 2 challenging

[opal radish]

But div2 gearsets has more raw power

Cause we have one shot one kill mechanic

[carmine ember]

im getting back into div 2. i can't wait to grind and get exotics and stuff

or... whatever you do in the division nowadays i dont know it's been years since ive played it

[kind veldt]

yeah mostly that still

ouroboros is the hot new thing

[carmine ember]

i could use some guidance as far as builds go

i am starting a new character so i won't really have need for a build immediately but it's nice to know where you're going

[kind veldt]

dont worry about a build until you reach endgame

aka campaign, world tiers and later expansion

[carmine ember]

yeah but i do want to know like, what types of builds are out there

in div1 i used to use the riot shield a lot because i sucked at staying alive. but i was also like 12 back then so i just wasn't very good at the game

[undone timber]

Builds for everything

[azure lintel]

everything

[undone timber]

Like if you wanted to you could run hazard protection and use a backfire

Many possibilities, some more viable than others in high level content

[carmine ember]

i just like screwing around with builds tbh. something tells me the division 2 is a good game for that

[azure lintel]

I had a build like that when Backfire came out, was heaps of fun actually

Trying to muster up the courage to set up a melee build and see how far I can get it

[frozen meadow]

Adding backfire ironically backfired

[carmine ember]

i saw an exotic that made me excited that was added this season

it was something to do with grenades

[frozen meadow]

Collector

[carmine ember]

yes that one

[undone timber]

We went from the house to this

[carmine ember]

it looks fun to use

[frozen meadow]

Tbh kinda disappointed that collector was a chest piece

Woulda been better as gloves

[undone timber]

If it didn't take up backpack/chest talent I could see it being good

[frozen meadow]

Speaking of gloves we don't have an armour core exotic for it yet

Nor a skill tier kneepads

[carmine ember]

also the specialisations, that let you use the big fun weapons like the minigun or flamethrower are there builds for those

[frozen meadow]

Well it got giga nerfed this update so not really

[gritty void]

At least the seasonal stuff is updating. Tip of the Spear for specializations.

[carmine ember]

d a m n. i just want to use heavy weapons because i enjoy big guns

[frozen meadow]

They do little damage

Always hated spec weapons (minus tac)

Well tac and xbow

[carmine ember]

i just like miniguns tbh

[frozen meadow]

Every other spec weapon is shit

[gritty void]

Survivalist crossbow does the most damage against non-elites.

[frozen meadow]

Minigun is absolutely awful in this game

[carmine ember]

that's sad

they should make it not awful

[frozen meadow]

It's a minigun what do you expect

[azure lintel]

Yeah, they're token parts of the game which is weird considering the ammo rarity

[frozen meadow]

You'd have to nerf everything

The reason it's bad is because it forces you out of cover

That's literally unavoidable

[azure lintel]

I think they should do more damage against named folks, not less

[frozen meadow]

But then everyone just one shots things

[carmine ember]

what about flamethrowers

can i at least set people on fire

[undone timber]

Firewall 🙂

[frozen meadow]

Yes but it's not for long

[carmine ember]

eh so long as they're burning im happy

[frozen meadow]

• short range

[gritty void]

Tip of the Spear build replenishes you special weapon ammo every 2 minutes. Otherwise it takes too long with other sets.

[frozen meadow]

You'll die trying to even set them on fire

[undone timber]

Better off with eclipse protocol

[frozen meadow]

Because you need to aim at them for a solid second

[carmine ember]

oh right i forgot the division was a "you die if you do something stupid very quickly" type of game

sadly i am not that smart so this happens frequently. i remember it all too well

[azure lintel]

Maybe not one-shotting everything, but I do think they should be the most powerful weapons in the game (whilst getting a pretty heavy ammo nerf)

[frozen meadow]

Well the problem is you'd either irrelevantizes them with little ammo or make them too OP with a moderate amount

Or you'd make TOTS meta/irrelevant

You either make them meta or irrelevant and there's legitimately no in between

[azure lintel]

TOTS existing is, in my mind, an indication that the spec weapons will never be anything beyond mediocre and that's a shame

[gritty void]

Drone and turret with Tier 6 skill hard to beat.

[undone timber]

I miss tac link

[frozen meadow]

Tac link was so much better than specs

[undone timber]

Fuck spec weapons just give us Sig skills

[frozen meadow]

Also I offended the entire div 1 community by saying survival sucks

[undone timber]

Why😭

[azure lintel]

Yeah, I'm all for the spec weapons just getting flat out deleted in D3

But give me the tac-50 as an exotic pls ❤️

[carmine ember]

drone was one thing i thoroughly enjoyed in d2 during my short amount of time playing it

[gritty void]

@azure lintel you say delete them all but keep one? Alright then.....

[undone timber]

Drones good but the playstyle is braindead

[azure lintel]

I did indeed

[carmine ember]

braindead is fun sometimes

is there any builds that allow me to explode things a lot

[undone timber]

Cluster grenades maybe

Also regulus

[azure lintel]

Really is the best thing for putting on a podcast and farming Sleeping Giant for a couple of hours for watch levels. Sit there and let the drone kill everything

[gritty void]

Artillery turret makes lots of things go BOOM!

[opal radish]

Just dev saying stuff

[opal radish]

Yeah especially the med link quite handy

[opal radish]

Mortar build it is quite tedious to farm though

[gritty void]

Not really. Demolitionist is not near as tough as the Technician Spec.

[azure lintel]

5.11 means the gear itself I think

https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/sh/ac1fdc3c-b114-0ba3-273e-7b080b8881dc/d2efd169c231d8199ffbd4392596c310 (Raucey's explosive build, @carmine ember)
It is kinda tedious, the stat rolls on it look weird to me (I don't know what the need for the red attributes are)

[carmine ember]

huh, they added a rogue-lite mode?

[undone timber]

Descent yeah

[kind veldt]

Signature weapons were not a mistake

Specs were

Heavy/weird weapon category is very good and works as means to implement truly weird stuff like flamethrowers

Problem is specs being too limiting and not powerful enough

Because they harshly contradict basic game desing of div free from build system of mixing and matching gear

Specs would need to double down on very unique bonus to be relevants

[undone timber]

The thing is why use them when you could kill everything exponentially faster with a high end AR

Which also has a vastly bigger ammo pool and is much easier to find ammo for

Like Eevee said they'd either be completely irrelevant or completely broken

[opal radish]

Apparantly only tac50 is the one that is everyone going to use rest specs are shit

[undone timber]

I'd argue the crossbow is also good

It'll one shot plating

[opal radish]

Yeah but tac 50 can one shot almost anything including dh razerback

[undone timber]

Ah true

[opal radish]

Tac50 is like the hard hitting weapon if you don't count Nerf against named npcs

[neon wyvern]

minigun is probably the one you can never fix

[minor wigeon]

does the game still crash constantly on pc?

[wind crag]

is this games source code bad because someone literally just called me by first name

nothing on my ubisoft contains anything abt me

[modest lintel]

wat so bad about knowing your first name? u got a bad name?

[agile pendant]

snowdrops craps on dunia so hard its insane

[wind crag]

I guess it could be that or, if they can get my first name just by joining their group they can probably get much more info

[modest lintel]

whether your name is tom or garry, who cares?

jerry* typo

[wind crag]

exposure is what I care about mr gt its just strange to see someone who youve never met before refer to you as your name.

[modest lintel]

exposure? u exposed to someone before?

[wind crag]

As in identity theft bro come on

[modest lintel]

oh...so someone stole your identity by calling u by first name

[wind crag]

no its just the potential that worries me, like theres literally no way he could have gotten my name without a third party software

[modest lintel]

potential is not actual right?

I'm always worried about aging

[ionic root]

Hey y’all I’m new to D2 anyone wanna play with me?

[wind crag]

I guess you could look at it from that stand point, but its just better safe than sorry especially when it comes to things cyber

[frozen meadow]

No

Chances are they just checked for similar username accounts tbh

[modest lintel]

better stay at home then get ran over by a car by going outside

[frozen meadow]

• you literally can't get someone's name from the game

Like even if you had access to the source code you can't

If you had someone's IP you still can't

[wind crag]

the only other account that has the same user as my ubi is steam, both of which I never gave my name to

and if you have someones IP yea you can but I dont use voip so that rules that out too

[frozen meadow]

Well it's literally impossible to get your personal info unless you already gave it out

[wind crag]

so what youre saying its just a lucky guess?

[frozen meadow]

Or you forgot where you put your info out on the web

Or a friend ratted you out

[modest lintel]

or u have a beautiful name

[frozen meadow]

Happened to me once was funny as hell tbh

[wind crag]

I am pursing a career in cyber security, I am pretty aware of where my info is. thats why this is so concerning to me

[frozen meadow]

Friend gave out my pic from a Livestream I did

Y'know, the Livestream where HE WAS THE ONLY ATTENDEE

[wind crag]

it was a random raid discovery group I typed in chat why no start dude literally replied with "Hurry up "my name is" is ready

[frozen meadow]

I'm saying either someone ratted you out or you said something and forgot about it, there's basically no other way

[modest lintel]

go study cyber security, so u have better understanding the consequence of someone's knowing your first name on the web

[neon wyvern]

watch it be a shortened version of their in-game name

[wind crag]

Yea him stating my first name doesn't mean shit, but what other info could he have gotten

my name is hunter, my ign is dog.

[modest lintel]

I could have been hit by a plane tmrw....who knows

[frozen meadow]

i mean theres two parts to this

1. what info does he have
2. what will he even do with the info he has

most of the time they dont do shit except scare you lol

[wind crag]

I just hate being vulnerable to that stuff, I appreciate your help tho.
@modest lintel I understand youre saying let go a bit, its just been a long time since anything like this occured to me

[frozen meadow]

hold on quick question

well a few

first off did the person call you by your name in-game

[wind crag]

wdym

they typed it

[frozen meadow]

in-game?

[wind crag]

yes

[frozen meadow]

ok and next question

have you ever made a support thread for Ubisoft

[wind crag]

No?

[frozen meadow]

so youve never contacted Ubisoft support

[wind crag]

nope

[frozen meadow]

okay

[wind crag]

steam support yes

ubi no I rarely use it

[modest lintel]

have u ever call anyone using iphone?

[frozen meadow]

fuck does iphone have to do with this

[modest lintel]

have u ever call anyone using android?

[neon wyvern]

data breach

not

[wind crag]

Iphone protects your info better than android

[frozen meadow]

we are not getting into this

[wind crag]

that is the highest possibility mr thompson

[neon wyvern]

true

[frozen meadow]

well how the hell do you correlate a data breach to you

[wind crag]

youvebeenpwned.com

[frozen meadow]

how do you match data to the user

[wind crag]

connect email to whatever you signed

[frozen meadow]

but how do you know whos email it is

[modest lintel]

to protect your absolute privacy: no interaction with any living being

[wind crag]

boom itll show what breaches youre apart of

[frozen meadow]

are you sure you cant just reverse search that, get the info thats been stolen off a user and then use that against them

not sure how it works

maybe we should cut the convo before mods step in

[modest lintel]

good they can come and have a cup of tea with me

[opal radish]

Ahh the classic pwned site

[neon wyvern]

me searching up someone's personal info so I can avoid calling someone by their gamertag

[frozen meadow]

either way just dont worry about it random division player would have to actually put effort into doing something and we all know if theyre doxxing people online they dont have the effort to actually do shit

[undone timber]

Anyways thoughts on dread edict

[neon wyvern]

cool gun

[undone timber]

In theory it seems nice but it doesn't seem to have much punch

[thorny talon]

iphone is just leagues ahead . Android will never catch up in ease for average user. Android fanboys can pester all about third party apps and tweaks but again its not understandable by the average user. (I use Android btw)

[frozen meadow]

mate if you can chain headshots it hits for ouro-level burst dps

[wind crag]

You and GT are correct 100% I just wanted to come in here for hopefully someone with a similar experience or someone with a definitive explanation

[undone timber]

It does?

[frozen meadow]

i have anxiety dw mate lol

[neon wyvern]

one shotting is the best burst dps

[frozen meadow]

i got to 26 mil deeps yes

[undone timber]

I never see anyone using it I thought it wouldn't be that good

[undone timber]

Jesuz

[real creek]

You have to actually land all the shots tho....

[neon wyvern]

I never see anyone using regulus so it can only mean one thing

[frozen meadow]

~6-7m per shot

its fun for CPs

[undone timber]

Maybe with hotshot it'd be godly

[wind crag]

Android and linux are funny because theyre almost the same OS and yet linux has so much higher regard mainly just because you actually get to control it, the only reason why apple is better in terms of security is because they wont give your info to a company that asks for it. samsung will

[frozen meadow]

no hotshot its trash

[neon wyvern]

using 2 pc to get wp handling

[frozen meadow]

no

[neon wyvern]

[frozen meadow]

4 A&E, PGC, airaldi vigi bp

[neon wyvern]

what about

[thorny talon]

Samsung more like scamsung 😹

[neon wyvern]

binoculars

[frozen meadow]

no

[neon wyvern]

pgc suck

[frozen meadow]

mate its a fucking mmr youre not playing close enough to get tagged anyways

lol

[neon wyvern]

explosive drone gonna end my whole career

[frozen meadow]

just
hear me out

shoot it

[neon wyvern]

how

[frozen meadow]

with a gun

[undone timber]

Same reason I use sacrifice on skill builds

[frozen meadow]

it works fine in heroic just dont take it into leggy

[frozen meadow]

its easier than it sounds tbh

• you can reload and get 100% bonus armour

[opal radish]

Well iPhone displays are made by Samsung

[opal radish]

5.11 with binoculars

[fair lake]

So everything comes together

[unique summit]

Have you considered the possibility that someone else in the raid group also has your first name?

You said you're studying cybersecurity. Look up "security by obscurity" and learn why it's a bad thing.

[sacred spoke]

Incursion anyone??

[sterile ferry]

use LFG channels

[carmine ember]

I have discovered the way of the sniper turret

It’s like sniping, but better

[opal radish]

The dmg is way too low even what you can do with a regular sniper

[carmine ember]

Yeah but I can’t aim so

It’s better lol

[opal radish]

Just use glass Cannon on chest pcs than along with Acosta or tech support

[carmine ember]

What’s all that mean? I have no idea what that means lol

[opal radish]

Ok I meant to say that Use glass Cannon talent on your chest ocs and tech support or acostas go bag as your bag with 3pcs empress

What is your secondary skill

[carmine ember]

Striker drone

[opal radish]

Nice

[sterile ferry]

if you use your gun to aim at an NPC's head and then fire the sniper turret, it lands a headshot which deals more damage

[carmine ember]

Huh, that’s actually really neat

You see right now my play style is pretty much “sit behind cover and use machines to do my dirty work”

Sniper turret for priority targets and striker drone to coerce them out of cover/keep people off my back

Currently my sniper turret does nearly double the damage of any marksman rifle I have so I’d say it’s worth it at the moment

[opal radish]

Does it stacks with chainkiller than

[sterile ferry]

never actually tried it. does it stack with headshot damage?

[opal radish]

Mhh never tried it tbh cc @timber hatch

[carmine ember]

Question- crusader shield. Does having your legs exposed really matter in PvE or is it more of a PvP balancing thing

[undone timber]

No

[carmine ember]

That doesn’t really tell me anything, no to which?

[tender wave]

Legs don't matter. In pvp players will shoot your head, pve they only shoot the shield unless you use the deflector or they are significantly higher than you

[deep knot]

yeah, but i want a rogue agent that's not a completely bad guy

what would be interesting would be a story mission where a rogue agent saves your life.

maybe a "i was framed" story

imagine - you're framed for a crime (probably involving ISAC fuckery) and you're declared rogue
but another rogue agent lets you into his crib. he was framed too.
together, both of you have to clear your names

[quartz burrow]

Quick question i just got thé projects for thé regulus and i need to get iron world Materials can u just farm for them in thé raid or is it a 1 weekly thingy

[echo cloud]

baguette

[zinc shadow]

not really a rogue agent then

[tender wave]

They only drop from the key boxes in the raid, so once per week or you can use alt characters who share resources to farm more.

[quartz burrow]

Thnx

[carmine ember]

i have learned how to snipe

marksman rifles and striker drone is a good combo

[blazing citrus]

Just wait until you find out about hotshot builds

[carmine ember]

what does that mean

[blazing citrus]

It makes use of the hotshot set which is a mmr focused gearset

And the determined talent on white death

Determined when procced can chain itself and is headshot damage on bodyshots

So all the fun of headshot damage with none of the skill required

[carmine ember]

oooooooo

you see the skill needed to snipe is sort of half the fun but killing people in one hit is also the other half so

if i can pull that off more consistently that'd be great

[blazing citrus]

Be aware though that enemies with helmets (heavies and the hyena rushers) dont instakill it just breaks their helmets

@carmine ember ill @ you in #td2-build-advice with tma screenshot of the build since no image perms here

[carmine ember]

yeah, i find that sniping enemies with helmets is quite difficult

also question

lets say i want to blow things up a lot. is there a good build for that?

[clever sandal]

idk if this the right place to ask but just getting back into dv2 any tips or anything i should know abt?

[kind veldt]

Demo spec, mortar turret, using brands focused on skill damage

[carmine ember]

what level do you unlock specs?

30?

[kind veldt]

30 when you finish base game campaign

[carmine ember]

i see i see

[blazing citrus]

Skills mortar build.
Weapons regulus build

Regulus build requires headshots but is "a mini nuke in the form of a gun"

[carmine ember]

what exactly is a regulus?

[blazing citrus]

Exotic revolver from iron horse raid

[carmine ember]

explosions on headshot kills.... interesting

[blazing citrus]

On headshot kills it makes the enemy go boom

And does ALOT of aoe damage

[carmine ember]

sounds fun

id also like to do a fire-focused build but sadly there's not very many fire skills in the game

[blazing citrus]

"Regicide
Headshot Kills create a 5m explosion, dealing 400% weapon damage and applying bleed to all enemies hit."

[carmine ember]

jesus

[blazing citrus]

Idk if it proccs off of dch though

[ornate jungle]

If I own the base game on Ubisoft, but want to get the DLC from steam, I have to re-buy the base game on steam too, right? And my character carries over I guess?

[unique summit]

have you tried the eclipse protocol fire build?

[carmine ember]

im not level 30 yet so i haven't really tried a lot of builds period tbh

[timber hatch]

It does, it's an incredibly strong combo

[carmine ember]

but do tell me about it!

[blazing citrus]

:0

[unique summit]

usually best to experiment with builds once you get to 40. that way you're collecting throwaway gear. but basically it's a build where status effects spread to all enemies in a big radius after they die.

so you set one dude on fire and then everyone in the room is set on fire

[carmine ember]

ooooooo that sounds exactly like what i want to be doing

[unique summit]

and if you're solo everyone in the room will be dead from fire after a few seconds lol

and i mean everyone

well except for maybe chungas and robot dogs

[blazing citrus]

Does the 400% get increased by the dch increase?

[unique summit]

but there's a trick for those as well. you hit them with the firestarter sidearm shotty and then set them on fire.

[timber hatch]

Yes

[blazing citrus]

Double :0

[carmine ember]

for now im probably going to use a flame turret and airburst seekers because fire is fun

until i get to WoNY so i can use the sticky bomb launcher

[blazing citrus]

Ye until level 40 it wont be worth making a build

[ornate jungle]

Is apparel character based or account based?

[carmine ember]

i think apparel that you've bought from the store is account based but apparel you earn in the world is character based?

[blazing citrus]

Account

[ornate jungle]

Ah, Because I played when the game originally came out, and I'm planning on getting back in, but it's been so long that I probably want to start a new character, and I was worried about losing a buncha cool stuff my old op had.

[blazing citrus]

Dont delete your old char

Its worth keeping 3-4 characters for post wony stuffs

[unique summit]

nice. i think you'll like the EP fire build when you try it. it goes great with maniacal laughter.

[carmine ember]

how exactly does the flame turret work? it says its controlled by the person who deploys it

but i don't get how that works with such short range

[deep knot]

Well, they are rogue, but it's not their fault

[zinc shadow]

as opposed to actual rogues where it is their fault

again, not really a point to saying “here’s a rogue that’s not bad” if they don’t do the very bad things™️ that define rogue agents

[kind veldt]

i think some comms discuss that has some leniency before ISAC consider you rogue cause otherwise going into an empty store and looting a bag of chips would instantly turn you rogue

when you are just scavenging for food

[blazing citrus]

You can be an agent and do bad things or be a rogue and do good things.

• Mike Erhmantraut
  :3

[zinc shadow]

I should hope scavenging doesn’t turn agents rogue, as that is very explicitly part of their training and mandate

[kind veldt]

the point where isac considers people rogue is whne they go full warcrime mode pretty much

[blazing citrus]

You stole another agents dz loot and extracted it for a profit. That makes you a rogue. Good or bad thats what you decide.

[kind veldt]

you could argue about keener when he just went rogue in NY you can find some comms that has him helping a couple get out of NY and when they ask why his watch is weird color he just says it's glitchy or broken

[blazing citrus]

Ok enough breaking bad quotes adapted to division 2

[zinc shadow]

he helped two people, making up for the hundreds he killed/intended to kill :)

[kind veldt]

never claimed he was a nice guy but you now have an example of yes rogue agents can just see a civilian and go "lets get you out of here because it's not safe"

[zinc shadow]

All those Division agents he killed, I wonder how many civilians they could’ve helped

[fathom hinge]

guys a question, is the paradise lost chest is bugged or something? cuz I did 3 times and I did not get key and yes, the chest is closed

[timber hatch]

You only get a key once a week reset is currently on Mondays

[lofty hornet]

has anyone figured out how to fix the issue where textures and geometry don't load properly when roaming?

[blazing citrus]

wdym currently on mondays? 🤔

[timber hatch]

it was expected to be resetting on tuesdays alone with everything else, but for some reason its resetting on mondays

[blazing citrus]

nothing can be simple when it comes to games can it

;-;

[wind crag]

I was the only other person communicated other than the person who stated my name, I put a 😦 at the end of my question in group chat and he literally said hurry up and start it "my name here" is sad.

[wind crag]

and this has nothing to do with STO as stated before the only thing with my name on it is my actual system user, both ubi and steam I have the same users for. both of which I have never given my legal name to.

[unique summit]

Is your name common? Either someone used a phrase like "start it jim" and your name is coincidentally jim or they were referring to someone else.

Your concern about this is a little irrational. If it was that easy to find someone's legal name then it would happen all the time. And it doesn't. These companies take PII extremely seriously because it could lead to severe punishment from regulatory agencies and/or lawsuits.

No one here was where it happened and all we know is what you've told us. You could be leaving out some obvious crucial thing that you missed (it happens) or some obvious place where you inadvertently put your first name and forgot.

[unique summit]

Read up about the thing I posted. Your exposure to threats like that are layered and your legal name is on the very outer rim of that "onion" of layers, so to speak. You should assume that this information will eventually be found out and not worry too much if it is.

Relying on obscurity will only make you paranoid. That being said it's a really good thing that you are conscious of stuff like this. All I'm saying is it's extremely unlikely you're being targeted by anyone and extremely unlikely that information was actually leaked.

[small spear]

☝️

[wind crag]

Thank you @unique summit, I am quite a bit irrational about this youre right about that for sure. but it is strange yea my situation? I joined a random raid group there was one dude typing in chat over and over again I said start it please sad face. and immediately like within 30 seconds he called me by my name, its easy to get that info sure but how so fast? a lucky guess the chances of that I mean 1-10000 yk what I mean?

[unique summit]

You joined a random raid group which means you weren't the group leader, right?

[wind crag]

yes sir

it was discovery dark house lmao

[unique summit]

Ok so Occam's Razor... the raid leader had the same name as you.

And the person was addressing the raid leader (who they know) and not you.

And since whoever was raid leader wasn't starting the raid, they were AFK - thus not responding in chat.

MATLOCK

[wind crag]

but kestrel the dude said "Name is sad"

the raid leader didnt type a sad face the raid leader didnt say anything at all

[unique summit]

The court has already adjourned. You have nothing to worry about 🙂

[wind crag]

thanks I guess just strange man confused me thats for damn sure

[blazing citrus]

whats your ubi name?

[wind crag]

d0g

[quasi verge]

...

Sorry, you're weirded out because someone in chat said dog?

[full zinc]

If your first name is pretty common it's easily possible for someone to use it without knowing its really your name.

Like
" look at Doug up there, worried about ppl knowing his name "

[frozen meadow]

are we seriously still ojn this

[unique summit]

Eh, they were weirded out and sometimes it helps to just talk it out. It's over now.

[frozen meadow]

its been ten hours

[wind crag]

said my actual first name, which theres no way to get that unless you know one my emails envolved ina data leak

[full zinc]

More than welcome to change the subject 🤓

[wind crag]

I just woke up someone had a question so were back

[frozen meadow]

sigh

[unique summit]

Enough time for another raid dream. Whatcha got?

[quasi verge]

Oh your first name. Okay, Dave.

[frozen meadow]

no dream about game only work

[blazing citrus]

i mean... without asking im assuming your name is a pretty common one. its not the end of the world

[wind crag]

I mean in the 90's very common its becoming less and less common

[unique summit]

off by one error nightmares

[blazing citrus]

less common doesnt mean its not still used

theres like. 8 bill people on earth

[quasi verge]

You can rest assured, William, that no one here is going to be able to explain it to your satisfaction.

[frozen meadow]

ive had dreams where i accidentally forgot to clock out and was working until 1am without noticing 😭

[blazing citrus]

anyway. dont worry chris. its not that bad

[wind crag]

close one bro

wrong again

[blazing citrus]

ok it starts with w :3

[unique summit]

lol okay that's actually pretty funny

[frozen meadow]

dreams as in more than one

[wind crag]

H*

[blazing citrus]

hmmm

🤔

[wind crag]

that should be all you need, and if you go through my msgs in this discord I said it once

[quasi verge]

Not gonna do that.

Not worth the doing of.

[blazing citrus]

nyehhehjeheh

:3

[quasi verge]

Someone guessed lucky, that's all there is. You can believe it was somehow a data breach if you want, but 98% it isn't.

[blazing citrus]

i got it

[unique summit]

name is seymore

seymore butts

[blazing citrus]

i mean it could've been a reference to the in game enemy

[wind crag]

is there a boss in dark horse called hunter?

if so you just solved the mystery if not then still no clue

[blazing citrus]

i just mean the enemies in general

[frozen meadow]

wumbo

[quasi verge]

waggles

[blazing citrus]

anyway. issue over... not an issue anyway but still

[wind crag]

honestly the one guy earlier was right no one is gonna be able truly satisfy my question I came looking for someone who had a similar experience of definitive explanation I dont believe in chance so I dont know

[quasi verge]

That's okay. You go around not believing in chance. Refusing to believe things that make sense is how we do things around here. Most everywhere in fact.

Meantime, go play the game.

[full zinc]

Well now it's not chance. You did state your name a couple times and there are thousands of users in this community and able to see 🤷‍♂️

[azure lintel]

I fundamentally don't understand SHD Exposed. It's not clear enough, so I just punch things then shoot them until stars come up on the screen and I get loot boxes

[sterile ferry]

you take more damage the longer you are in combat.
you transfer the debuff to other NPCs by either meleeing them or doing cover to cover move

[azure lintel]

Cover to cover seems to work for me about 10% of the time. The rest of the time, I get into cover right next to a guy (or gal) and get melted

[unique summit]

tbh im just ignoring it and collecting stars 🤷‍♂️

[sterile ferry]

CoC only works when the debuff meter is full

[unique summit]

play like normal. its not like you should be okay w/ taking damage anyway.

[sterile ferry]

melee works all the time

[azure lintel]

What should I listen out for when the debuff meter is full? Is it when Garrus says 'charge compromised'?

[azure lintel]

Pretty much. Think I might just stick on a skill build and farm Sleeping Giant for a couple of hours

[sterile ferry]

yeah thats one of the voice lines i think

[full zinc]

Are you farming the ge for stars for exotic caches?

Because countdown still way faster.

[azure lintel]

For the caches to get all my materials back 🤦‍♂️ I've spent so much on crafting/optimisation in the last month or so

[unique summit]

those caches with 70 mats are actually really really good

and only cost 3 stars

[azure lintel]

I'm in extreme ceramic austerity at the moment, I don't remember the last time I went above 1k poly/steel either. Need to put a pause to all of that, and build everything back up

[frozen meadow]

holy shit i just realized something crazy

[full zinc]

Solar farm daily/countdown decon everything.
Mats arent good from ge. That type of stuff is better from the watch if you have level
Gotta think about how many shd per hour you actually generate and then equate that to the cost of a cache.

[frozen meadow]

theres a christmas gang in this game that uses all christmas weapons

[azure lintel]

Thanks for the advice! I think part of it is keeping things fresh, I don't want to get burned out on Countdown because it's such a useful activity

[azure lintel]

I heard they were run by that one guy here that always talks about Sleigher

[frozen meadow]

heard from where

[azure lintel]

That guy out the front of the White House told me

[frozen meadow]

what

[azure lintel]

I know right

[frozen meadow]

youre making stuff up

[full zinc]

I hear that. Open world ny also has a lot of mats scattered all over

[frozen meadow]

wait fr?

if you wanna know something else wacky

each raid has 2 bags with mats in them

[azure lintel]

That IS wacky

[opal radish]

Dev secrets leaked

[opal radish]

Who might that be ?👀

[azure lintel]

ChampionEevee (Potentially a Dev)

[azure lintel]

Good question!

[opal radish]

The one who calls the shots

She once kicked entire countdown

Group

[azure lintel]

That's nuts. What did they do?

[full zinc]

Was there a 10k+ shd requirement?

[opal radish]

No they went vip

[full zinc]

🤣

They earned it then

[azure lintel]

Good. VIP takes about four business days

[full zinc]

Sounds like a good opportunity to make a no guilt Lootcifer sacrifice. Stinger hive/cluster seeker extraction incoming

[azure lintel]

Countdown Confession: I occasionally extract straight away when I've got no faith anyone else on the team has thumbs

And especially when they don't bother with the objectives

[agile pendant]

i mean deserved that countdown mode needs to be reworked, engi is so squishy and slow

[opal radish]

I agree it feels boredoom now we can change the events especially the engineering and the gas valve

[frozen meadow]

countdown confession: i kick people who go vip (regardless how much of the group does)

[azure lintel]

Oh what's this? All these yellow dudes running right at me? Best stand my ground, I've got a t-shirt and probably no cores but screw it

VIP kick is absolutely justified

[frozen meadow]

no like if 6 people in the group go vip i kick them all

[azure lintel]

How do you feel about the folks that just follow to be supportive and want to make sure the one person isn't doing an objective on their own?

Because imo the only thing that's worse than going VIP is everyone splitting off and making the whole thing take way longer

[uneven tapir]

Vip?

[hybrid ore]

shh, don't say it, it scares people on here for some reason.

[frozen meadow]

thats why i warn them ill start kicking before they do

then ill kick 1 by 1 so they have a chance to realize their mistake

[hybrid ore]

Just when I started to like some of the people on here, I read stuff like this.

[azure lintel]

I don't know where the boundaries are. If I'm hosting an incursion, you best bet your ass that we'll be DPSing Lovebirds from the loot room door. That's my prerogative as host I suppose.
I see it from the other side though, this game is absolutely tiny now and I seem to play with the same 30-40 people all the time. I don't know if I would have the courage to start annoying folks on a global scale like that

[quick wind]

Hi

[hybrid ore]

You're looking for #td2-clan-recruitment

[tropic compass]

😅😅 finally opened all my 700+ apparel cache keys this week

[uneven tapir]

:whispers: but what's it mean? Lol

[oak prawn]

very important person

in coutndown there is a encounter where you gotta protect the vip

its really annoying and time consuming thats why people avoid it

[uneven tapir]

Ah ok. Thought it was an invective towards a certain type of player lol

[oak prawn]

ive done it where 5 go to 1 encounter 3 go to another encounter

also the VIPs health goes down so quickly

to me the VIP is a level 1 npc in the final area of a darksouls game

[azure lintel]

I don't remember a Countdown where the VIP didn't get bipped. Though that said, it's much easier to remember bad things so maybe that isn't true

Splitting off requires a broad level of decent skill across the board, and I can't reliably ask for that. I do feel sometimes like all eight on one encounter is a bit overkill, there's folks sometimes that are just aimlessly running around
