[hidden relic]

just activities i guess

[astral jacinth]

Don’t you guys just hate it when rogue agents spawn while you were using a meme build? Even worse is when the 3 players in your group die to them while using meta dps and now they all converge on your location

[supple niche]

Whats the fastest way to become the Elmos?

[frozen meadow]

to obtain the weapon? countdown with assault rifle targeted

[glass forge]

How active is dark zone ?

[quasi verge]

About that active.

Although it might well pick up after the first of the year when the changes are implemented.

[glass forge]

What changes?

[quasi verge]

Look at #news-and-announcements for items under Project Resolve and follow the links for a list.

[delicate rose]

shd level 15 in paradise lost

[dapper crescent]

guys I have to kill ridgeway in capitol and wanted to ask if I matchmake to do it in a team and a teammate kills him do I still get the kill?

[delicate rose]

can’t you just do it yourself ?

[astral jacinth]

Probably just wants to coop

[dapper crescent]

I cant use a single armor kit

and that kinda makes me scared

also im not doing it further because stage 5 of gunner is cancer so im just gonna buy the year 1 pass

[delicate rose]

😔

just hunters fury it

[lone valve]

I'm seeing people defend the combat lock in PVE and I'm very worried this will make it to the live game

[real creek]

How can you defend that?

[lone valve]

I was browsing reddit and saw a post about it
I can show a few examples of people defending it

[real creek]

Oh redditors are kinda a special type so idk...

I just wish the devs would put a reason to these things. They didn't think about imposing a gear lock without some sort of reason or thing they want to address. It's just hard to know if it's a dumb fix for whatever issue they are trying to fix.

[lone valve]

"Hot-swapping gear in combat should have never been an option in the first place. We have to plan builds and make choices for those builds and loadouts for a reason. I have specialized builds, and I have well-rounded builds. Never since launch have I had a need to hotswap in combat. If I ran out of ammo or didn't plan accordingly for the situation, then I adapted and learned from the mistake.
Hot-swapping is a crutch for those who under-plan. The fact that hot-swapping gear and guns in combat has become more and more prevalent, this hard lock is definitely needed as hot-swapping is completely not intended functionality.
Plan your builds and your tactics better."
This is one of them

I'm not sharing more cuz it's not worth the effort but yea

[delicate rose]

locking it sounds inconvenient af

[lone valve]

Because it is tbh

They didn't even give a reason

Atleast say what ur reasoning is

[real creek]

I mean there is no content that requires one to hot swap at all. Plan your builds and tactics better is a bad take on the gear lock and more of a personal badge some would claim.

[kind veldt]

well

matchmaking drops you at random directives, sounds fair to be able to trade

[delicate rose]

dude totally got smoked by someone who hot swapped

[lone valve]

Yes that too

[kind veldt]

pretty sure people have builds for cool skills or pistolero

[real creek]

Me doing pubs incursions and finding out my team sucks on tanker then having to swap my ACS out for a famas so I can kill their enemies....

[lone valve]

I'm sure there's plenty of scenarios hot swapping is a very good thing to have available

[delicate rose]

real

[real creek]

Hot swapping is mostly a tactic used in speed running.

[lone valve]

Saw someone say that apparently people complain about hotswapping in raids
I've ran so many raids and not once did I see a single person complain about it
People just make up reasons to justify this horrible change

(for PVE)

[real creek]

In a normal raid you don't need to hotswap at all??

I wonder if people are confusing hot swapping with using the build loadouts.

[weak rock]

pvp:

chest swapping is a big pain

[real creek]

Not familiar with the goal of chest swapping in PVP. What does it do? Benefits?

[weak rock]

you can activate unbreakable, tardigrade and efficient for your armor kits.

a lot.

[real creek]

See if that was the goal of this they should just make it when you equip the item it activates it's cooldown before you can then use it.

Or have a 20 second cool down on all buffs provided by gear that you swapped.

[full zinc]

for PVE the combat lock is a real shit idea, totally unnecessary . i can see it being beneficial in PVP though

[timber hatch]

People are idiots... I've saved many runs by hot swapping a build mid-rin when someone crashed. The idea that we couldn't do a simple weapon swap to a ravenous to stagger Morozova for example is so stupid

[lone valve]

Idk if they have the capability of making it pvp only idk how easy that'd be

[real creek]

They already have normalized stats, also SHD removal from conflict in the PTS right?

[lone valve]

Yes

Maybe a trigger when you enter the dz then

[real creek]

Yeah, but there are things on the PVE side that they might want to be fixing too.

I have been doing the bloody knuckles refresh hotswap on wright in pub matches because I can. Really it shoudn't remove the cool down with you swap it off and back on but it does. Also swaping acosta and BTSU allows you to global OC with no skill tiers other than what acosta and BTSU gives.

[timber hatch]

I think the lock is their way of fixing the blb swap, which is just a terrible way to implement that... I doubt they are even aware of the bloody knuckles or Elmo/shocker swaps lol

[real creek]

It's a blanket fix for a bunch of things they could fix but might not want to put the effort to do? Idk maybe it's some crazy issue we have no idea about too and we've all missed the mark guessing.

[lone valve]

Seen people saying they are uninstalling after what the pts showed lol
Bit of an overreaction tbh

[real creek]

Yeah, it's sad that the PTS is just really power creep and PVP changes that should have come years ago. At least that's how I see it. I really do believe this is all about getting the game into a better state so that the new DLC will sell.

[lone valve]

They also have seasons 2.0 scheduled for this next year so we will see what that is

[low lily]

There will be new broken metas, pvp won't change much probably

[serene elk]

Then it will just be Leadership abuse!!! /s

[elfin hazel]

seems like a standard reaction from people giving other reactions before with some fixes/nerfs

game supposed to be dead like 4 times now

[serene elk]

It’s the reaction for every game ever getting something reworked

Gah! It’s unplayable

And they’re online the next day cause they’re addicted

[sick thicket]

"project reolve" but in the meantime let's make it so you can wipe a server by throwing a nade at your feet!

[fiery cloud]

Hope everyone's having a great day

[elfin hazel]

the amount of people I've seen say the game is going to die because some exploit got patched is staggering

[bitter wraith]

Why is everyone spamming grenades?

And blowing them up in half a second??

[kind veldt]

Christmas themed backpack

Hits everyone in 20m if you hit someone with it

Add madbomber to the mix and you have something useful for once

[bitter wraith]

How do I get one?

[kind veldt]

Do the holiday themed projects

Well all i want out of this buffs for ARs is for the FAL to be really competitive

Not meta, but weird fact they made it have less magazine size and did nothing with it bothers me to this day

Just going on weird tangent, i think extended magazines muddles weapon roles too much

[quasi verge]

I Want extended magazine. On Dare.

[kind veldt]

One of the odd reasons i like lady death and bighorn

Talent can make gun no rely on having 30+ extended magazines to be competitive

[low lily]

Collector

[kind veldt]

Well you can cook with mad bomber

[real creek]

Don't need to when you can nade yourself.

[low lily]

Exactly

Throw grenade and go rogue

Can Insta kill a 4 man group

[real creek]

You know you can use flash bangs and swap to concussion before it blows up and it'll use the concussion nade stats.

[low lily]

I mean you gonna run demo mainly with the build

[real creek]

I know that explosive % is big but idk if you'd actually need it if you've got your build set up right. Testing is the only way to know.

[low lily]

You would need it as big as possible imo, if it does like 3.2m dmg to players it's good and if they have ER just throw like 3-4 grenades to yourself

You will have ER above 70 anyway yourself

[real creek]

This is all just a meme to me anyway. I'm not gonna farm nor use that build.

[bitter wraith]

Will the festive backpackthing be something we can keep forever?

[low lily]

Farmers are getting spawn trapped so hard in dz right now, it's just some next level stuff what dz has been last day or so

[bitter wraith]

Relatable

Which is why I want it 😈

[kind veldt]

Keep yes, projects are temporary until jan 9 i think

[bitter wraith]

OK ok

[bitter wraith]

Collector or mad bomber?

[low lily]

Collector

[bitter wraith]

Which is better

I guess that would make farming a lot easier

[kind veldt]

Collector is on the season track

[low lily]

Atleast I run it. 2 grupo, china, contactors, lengmo

[bitter wraith]

What attributes and gear mods?

[low lily]

I don't have gear mods but explosive resistance as much as you can

Should get over 70

[bitter wraith]

How about any crit damage for weapons or none?

[low lily]

Nahh

[bitter wraith]

Oh ok

[low lily]

Doesn't really matter

[bitter wraith]

K

And the last one is collector?

[low lily]

Yeah

[real creek]

It's all boom big meme.

[bitter wraith]

What specialisation?

[real creek]

Demo yo.

[bitter wraith]

💥

[tawny wren]

it's coming a new dlc?

[kind veldt]

No just an update

[real creek]

There is a new DLC but it's been pushed to 2025. There is an update to come possibly next February with the new season but the PTS we just saw might not be the actual changes we see. There is also a second PTS in mid January which will show more possible changes. We know stuff will change but exactly how much is unknown until the actual update happens.

[velvet pond]

Whens the day we have the final target to rescue? I know it's Vik but when does he open to be rescued?

[stone quest]

6 days left

basically just next week

[velvet pond]

Thanks!! Between cod cold war mp, getting sucked in warhammer total war by a friend, my attention is pretty divided rn.

[kindred stream]

Did the incursion difficulty get tweaked/made easier at all since they got added? I hadnt played since they been added and have zero interest in forced lfg content still.

[kind veldt]

You can do it with random matchmaking as people got used to running

But no real changes other than one shot protection

[kindred stream]

Damn. I rather not be stuck in random lobbies as dead weight 80% of the time or 2 manning, just to get ouroboros

[broken solstice]

is there an apparel event right now?

[glass matrix]

Que mas gente, quien para ZO, soy PS

[hybrid ore]

@glass matrix You're welcome to use languages other than english in the LFG/clan chat, but please stick to english outside of those. Thanks Agent

[hybrid ore]

Nope, unless you count the christmas stuff we get via the Projects.

[broken solstice]

oh ok muchos thank yous

[torpid plume]

Why is that

[obsidian root]

anyone see the same holiday project as yesterday

but its not completable

[hybrid ore]

I think we're kinda "done" with them and they're just re-running the last one to give people a chance to catch up.

[safe jungle]

whats the new winter project task 4 day here

[serene elk]

Wow it’s possible to win countdown? 🫠

If nobody leaves and actually focuses on killing enemies

[proud shell]

Does any knows why missions of NY don't have Legendary difficult?

[wise basalt]

leg is only for strongholds, there r no stronghold in NY

[safe jungle]

yuup

[proud shell]

Sad

[safe jungle]

so we got the same winter project as last night here bruh

[wise basalt]

winter proj is done after beard, dev probably forgot to remove after last night's reset

[safe jungle]

smh

[hybrid ore]

Well, Summit and Strongholds, but yeah it's a shame that there's no main mission Legendary variants. White Tusk are fun to fight against.

[swift storm]

finally got festive backpack with chd chd 😭 'only' took 3? days

kinda bad roll though. 6% chc but only 11.0% weapon dmg and 10.2% chd. and you cant recal them yet (idk, bug?)

[kindred stream]

Figured id ask now out of curiousity, hows everyone feel about content being delayed till 2025 for a Project Health?

[elfin hazel]

good

[swift storm]

i dont mind. not like div2 is something i play everyday

[kindred stream]

Fair. I used to but the games lack of content for so long outside seasonal made me quit for extended periods. I hope the content in 2025 is extremely good as the trade off however. Otherwise it wont even matter for me.

[elfin hazel]

its admittedly overdue ~~ makes my job easier~~ and honestly we've gone through a years content drought before this is barely anything

[swift storm]

just hoping they dont decide to drop the roadmap to 'focus more on other division games'

[elfin hazel]

they wouldnt

massive/bucharest works on mainline, red storm works on heartland and idk who devs resurgence

[kindred stream]

Yeah, the drought for another year wont make or break atp.

if they delay again however...then f.

I see squad matchmaking for incursions is a cancer...right off the bat 2 dcs before even starting.

[swift storm]

idk i've done it 4 out of 7~8?

[kindred stream]

I cant even get 4 members of a squad. Took 5 minutes to get 2 people who both insta dced after loading in.

[swift storm]

honestly it's either you have squad that gets wiped on turret or 2nd boss, otherwise it's doable

[kindred stream]

then again, i guess, its only value is ouroboros realistically

[swift storm]

i did it couple of times more after getting ouro, just missing last comm and backpack keychain

[kindred stream]

I literally only want ouroboros since this is more realistic of a goal then getting ravenous atp for me

[swift storm]

but that's gonna be impossible with matchmaking since last comm requires flawless 2nd boss, and keychain requires killing wright fast? idk

i did see a post on reddit saying 'who goes to incursion after getting ouro? literally nobody!'

[kindred stream]

Yeah i dunno. Been matchmaking for like 10 min now. Just cancelled it. Never found another player.

[swift storm]

maybe it's lack of people matchmaking incursion for playstation. also i sometimes waited like 10~20 min to get matched on pc

miiiight be a good idea to allow cross platform matching for pve? idk

[kindred stream]

Finally got one person. Watch em kick me cus im not shd3k+

[kind veldt]

well i used tho when they were giving raid exotics

[hybrid ore]

It would be nice, but they said a while back that it's just not happening, at least any time soon.

[cobalt adder]

Yes. I wonder if they'd bother to fix it.

[azure lintel]

anyone else have issues matchmaking for a lot of the content?

only thing i can consistently find a group for is countdown

[dense saffron]

My team got wiped multiple times from Wright, it sucked

[hybrid ore]

@azure lintel Matchmaking is kinda buggy right now, you'll find groups consistenlty a lot faster with "call for backup" anyway. Just make sure you recall between each Agent arriving and that your group is set to open.

[median wind]

where do i gotta go for the Control Point in the Western Part of the City to collect the Unmarked SHD Supplies or is it random location

[hybrid ore]

The clue is in the description, but just to cut it short "a party at the end of the world" is when a bunch of college students decided to have a "everyone is about to die party when the Grren Poison hit. = World's End Control Point.

[median wind]

yeh i got it now took me a minute my brain dont work in chirstmas

time

[fleet brook]

Can anyone help me with what to do bout the two hunter kills I need for the ridgeway chest piece project I got all of the other requirements done by doing countdown and farming keys but for some reason the hunters kills don’t count even if I’m the one to get the last killing blow

[median wind]

i havent made it to 100 yet im at 91 but also on pc

[hybrid ore]

The fastest way is to either go solve a Hunter Puzzle and kill them, or go to Floor 100 and yeah, complete it.

the ones at the start of Countdown don't count.

[median wind]

soooo question to the completing the 100 floors will give me the two maskes the julmust and that one skull one?

[fleet brook]

For the floors can I pick and choose which floor to start from or do I need to start all the way from the bottom

[hybrid ore]

When you finish Floor 100 for the first time you always get the base mask, but yep, during xmas time you also get the Julmust.

@fleet brook You can start at Floor 100 if someone gives you a checkpoint for it.

[fleet brook]

Kk

Now to beg like a dog for someone to give me a lift on the #lfg-playstation chat

[digital anchor]

Yo, is this game worth coming back to? Last time I played it i couldn't find anyone to play with in-game, like literally lol

[hybrid ore]

It's quite populated right now yeah, although we are getting a major balance pass quite soon, go check out #news-and-announcements > "Project Resolve".

[median wind]

sick

[median wind]

alsooooo when doing the 100 floors after completing to 100 can you go back and do a 100 again over and over or once its beat you have to restart

[hybrid ore]

Once you complete Floor 100 your personal progress will reset back to 0, but you can get a checkpoint from another player back higher if you want.

[median wind]

heck

the real quesstion is who the hell is tommy and if hes a hunter i swear ill cry

[tawny fable]

the projects reset today didn’t they?

[hybrid ore]

@median wind 🧸 = Tommy.
Yep they reset! Unfortunately, they appear to be done so it repeated the previous one without the reward.

[granite zephyr]

Guys I need help

Day 10 christmas boss is not spawning

I've been at it for 3 hours

[median wind]

oh i completed the christmas thingy i got pants jacket beard backpack boot hat chill out mask oh carol rifle the sleigher and like all the ornaments

[median wind]

which one is it

[granite zephyr]

Near Ark contaminated zone

Ugly green sweater

[hidden relic]

are you doing it at night?

[granite zephyr]

Yes, straight at 9pm

[median wind]

i got it like by accident so i could help

[granite zephyr]

Every time, near the forklift

[hidden relic]

maybe you should wait a little after 21:00

[hybrid ore]

Make sure that it's after 21:00 and before 05:00 ingame, then walk towards the Propaganda Activity and he spawns juuuuust to the left of it, if standing across the street. Near a big fence.

[hidden relic]

maybe resetting the world/control points could help, it's what i did when he didn't spawn the first time

[granite zephyr]

Yeah, they never came out,I even went there at 0:00

[hybrid ore]

His name is "Private Cole". Hah, christmas puns.

[granite zephyr]

The anger is real

[median wind]

i can help out prolly

[hybrid ore]

This is a good idea to do for these Projects actually.

[granite zephyr]

Resetting the world?

[hybrid ore]

Yep. Think of it like turning a computer off and on again.

[granite zephyr]

Thinking of this mission. I want to go back to scavenger hunts

This wastes so much time

I easily bumped into prompts ,but this is next level annoyance

[hidden relic]

i don't think it's that big of an annoyance but im a new player so what do i know

[granite zephyr]

A mission that requires your to wait until 2100

And time is going sloooowly

And the boss spawn isn't guaranteed

If this isn't annoying idk what is

[hidden relic]

maybe hunting the Hunters has hardened me

[hybrid ore]

Well it's supposed to be guaranteed, but div2 is div2 sometimes.
Just do CP's while you wait, I'm sure you still have BP's as rewards to get from them.

[low hemlock]

Did anyone try out the pts ? What is the bedt assault rifle after the buff ?

[hybrid ore]

There's a second round of PTS to go, so any changes are subject, well, change.

[low hemlock]

I heard f2000 and ealgebearer/p416 is pretty good in the pts

[median wind]

whelp there goes 10 dollars lol

[hidden relic]

where'd your 10 dollars go

[median wind]

the christmas bundle lol

[hidden relic]

oh

[median wind]

lol

[median wind]

yeaahhh i just spent like 500 dollars on christmas shopping told myself i was done spending till next pay and what happens oooooo christmas stuff click

[hidden relic]

profound amount of money

im the kind of person that gets prickly if i spend more than 10 dollars on anything

so i can't fathom spending 500 dollars on a holiday that i mostly spend alone anyways

[median wind]

how long do i have to get the julmust mask from summit

is it Janurary

9th

[hidden relic]

i mean you should be able to do it in one day

[median wind]

yehhh but the friend i was doing with it is out of town for a bit and idk if he wants it as well he just said "yeah ill play it just to play" but weve done 1-91 and idk if he wants it

[hidden relic]

i mean if he wants it he can just play through the remaining floors

you can help him with it after you get the masks too

but it's better to look for someone else because you're gonna be facing 3 Hunters

[celest marten]

Where do I find the supplies on the "west Control Point" for the winter project?

[swift storm]

there's a table inside supply room

should be a table that can be interacted

[celest marten]

Thanks!

[swift storm]

you also need the cp location? u need to go to specific cp btw

||world's end|| or whatever it's called

[celest marten]

Where's the last present for the beard located?

[swift storm]

||market area below BoO||. look for ||teddy bear on chair|| or check reddit for pic

[celest marten]

Cool, got it!

[granite zephyr]

Finally

After an hour, he spawned

[wise fractal]

does the 1st boss from the incursion drop the exotic?

[hybrid ore]

Every boss in the Incursion has a 1% chance to drop Ouroboros, and the chest at the end has a 10% chance.

[sterile ferry]

minus the drones i assume

[hybrid ore]

I can't recall, but if the boss spawns them then yeah, no chance.

[worn surge]

Bro are they gonna fix this back pack or chest piece? 20m radius , one shot one kill nade

It’s so broken in the DZ

[vapid rover]

If ya can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em….

[agile pendant]

whens the next expansion for d2 coming?? q2 2024??

[hybrid ore]

It's been confirmed to be delayed to 2025, to make room for Project Resolve (see #news-and-announcements for details on that)

[wise basalt]

in some videos, I see players w/ this circle grid (if that's what its called) showing. Is that a setting that can be turned on? Here r examples - I'm referencing the circle grid u can see on the ground:
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/N1bzKGzRe9c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-ocPrk1bzk

[hidden relic]

well i got the angel mask done, now i just need drama and weirdo

killing the angel Hunter was surprisingly easy i had more difficulty with the puzzle

[neon wyvern]

All the open world hunters are gonna be easy since they're bugged to always have normal difficulty hp

[small spear]

colorblind setting

[neon wyvern]

sweat setting

[small spear]

turning it on also turns on the aoe grid

[hidden relic]

wow really? i've only scaled my settings down to normal when fighting a 4 hunter group, but i always did hard/challenging on solo or duo Hunters

[neon wyvern]

I hate it too

[fluid meadow]

What control point is the one for festive delivery?

[hybrid ore]

World's End.
It's actually mentioned in the clue, MSV like their puzzles.

[pliant sentinel]

whats yall fav pasta shape

[fluid meadow]

I kinda chalked it up to "it's the apocalypse but we can still enjoy Christmas"

[hidden relic]

elbow

[hybrid ore]

There's actually a little lore with that CP, basically when Green Poison was taking over the city, the students at the college there decided to throw a "world's end party".

Think of it like the bit in Independence Day where the people partied on the roof.

[delicate rose]

love the i die once and disconnect players

[fair lake]

Is there a reliable way to farm loot goblin? I heard something about logging in and out

[torpid plume]

Yes

[halcyon radish]

@fair lake my go-to spot is JTC, 3 manhole there 80% spawn in my experience, rinse and repeat logging, around 40 sec each round

[nimble iron]

@fair lake fast travel to Lincoln memorial. Turn around and head east. Join other people's instances and do it again and again that's how I got my 20 chillout masks

[hidden relic]

on the memento bag and the Hunter shirt are those watches rogues or just regular agent watches?

[fair lake]

when you say log in / out - you mean going back to main menu and back again or restaring the whole game?

[halcyon radish]

@fair lake just log out to main menu and back

[fair lake]

👍

[delicate rose]

both i think

[hidden relic]

couldn't help but notice sometimes the rings are red and sometimes orange

[delicate rose]

yeah they hunt both rogues and non rogues

[hidden relic]

makes sense

[lone valve]

How nice of them to not discriminate

[hidden relic]

honestly if i were a Hunter i'd go for the first wave rogues too

as far as i know the first wave was just built different and whoever survived to go rogue is a certified badass

[delicate rose]

i seen a div2 vid where some dude wanted an option to go rogue at the end of the next game

and use anna instead of isac

[hidden relic]

yeah i want div3 to be about rogue agents or at least give us the option to go rogue so i can use ANNA

[delicate rose]

would be pretty cool

[hidden relic]

ISAC's voice feels like a woodchipper after two games with him, ANNA feels less robotic and probably more flexible

[delicate rose]

i don’t think they’d actually do it but the thought is nice

[hidden relic]

yeah i don't have high hopes but after WONY i think there's gonna be more emphasis on rogues in the third game

[delicate rose]

🙏

[hidden relic]

of course i'd be rooting for div3 to be about rogue agents and for us to be able to go rogue too, i like the rogue agents and i like ANNA but as long as the drip is good i think i'll play div3 no matter what

[delicate rose]

real af for that 🤝

[fluid meadow]

With the way they're treating actual rogue agents i don't have high hopes

[delicate rose]

😭

[hidden relic]

i don't like that they killed off Keener but i guess that's the point? to show that his vision/idea is more than just Keener himself now

[fluid meadow]

I was honestly talking about dz players but yeah even pve rogues are disrespected

1 of them was brought back to life only to get cooked again

[sterile ferry]

they can just say "somehow keener returned" and call it a day

[fluid meadow]

Just like hornet

[sterile ferry]

palps was somewhat important to the story

hornet was just another named guy

[hidden relic]

god i remember killing Hornet

[hidden relic]

oh yeah but the focus isn't on rogues and the DZ until WONY

[sterile ferry]

was it Titan that revived him? must be one hell of a medic cause i mag fumped hornet

[lone valve]

Brooklyn dlc and keener is just chilling there

[fluid meadow]

He got a bad case of bleedout from predators mark

[hidden relic]

then he blurts some line straight out of marvel like "what, you thought i was dead did you?"

[lone valve]

Uninstalling.

[cedar flicker]

Dark zone for pestilence

[fair lake]

what are the best stats you're looking for in festive backpack?

[grizzled heron]

All yellow core

[fair lake]

for skill build?

[surreal cedar]

Can anyone tell me please if it's just my RNG or the game is bugged, cuz i've killed gnoblin for over 50 times now, and still didn't get it (and yes,I completed project)

[fair lake]

bad luck - it's not going to be backpacks all the time

[surreal cedar]

God damn it, it's been 2 days , and the only festive delivery i've seen was the one you get for completing the project

[halcyon radish]

I once have a god roll skill damage and status effect, I took it and immediately back to BOO try to store it, and then delta03, back to the game and the backpack disappeared 💀

[fluid meadow]

Explosive resist

[granite zephyr]

I'm surprised hornet came back

I blew him up with millions of damage stickybomb that sent the dude flying 20 meters before falling splat on the ground

[granite zephyr]

He be like that Megamind metroman meme

***My death...was greatly exaggerated ***

[granite zephyr]

They had to stop you

You were getting too powerful

Feels good, farmed 20 chill out masks, I think I have enough

But I want...
MORE

[sterile ferry]

Yet to get one with chd

[halcyon radish]

maybe not good enough, they decide to give me skill damage and haste next time

[granite zephyr]

Isn't that a common one?

I got 5 CHD trying to look for Explosive resist

Trying to make a mash up festive build for fireworks boom boomb

I wanna make a meme build

Imagine getting blown up by fireworks in DZ

How funny is that

[halcyon radish]

DZ people already venting about this

[granite zephyr]

I tried collector with explosive damage build and festive

Foam someone to the ground and watch them go kaboom

And also their DPS friends not expecting the damage as well

I'm having too much fun

Anyways I still need to collect every combination of chill out mask and backpacks possible

I am going to make sure I have enough for every single build I need in the future

Maybe 100 space in stash for festive stuff

25 chill out, 25 festive, 25 sleiger

Or 50 festive, 50 chill out, sleiger is meh

On second thought...

Sleigher with my Crowd Control build might work-

Enemies still fire while ensnared, to cripple them completely with Disorient too

[bitter wraith]

If people keep walking out of my grenade radius before they go off should I use perfectly mad bomber instead of collector?

[granite zephyr]

Depends, I'd use crowd control skills to keep them still

If you want instant boom by cooking nade, go for it

[low lily]

Throw it to yourself

[granite zephyr]

True-

The backpack never said, enemies

So yourself qualifies as a target

[low lily]

you yourself will always be the worst enemy you can encounter

So it works as intended

[granite zephyr]

Wait, the festive backpack has no cool down...right?

[low lily]

Nope

[granite zephyr]

So if you have a healer in dz...and you keep nading yourself

Oh yeah. It's all coming together

[low lily]

Just throw grenades to yourself constantly

[kind veldt]

Well granades dont grow on trees

[granite zephyr]

Pov, collector

And another factor, good tank teammates

Tank builds with millions of armour and good dps

Good coordination

[bitter wraith]

That works?

[lusty oriole]

Pvp is cancer right now because of it

[low lily]

Yea

[cobalt adder]

Any news on the duplicate Winter Scavenger Hunt project?
(I'm okay with it not being completable if Festive Delivery was in fact the final reward.)

[bitter wraith]

If the winter thing couldn't be done all at once I wouldn't have been able to do it

[tawny wren]

Me and my friend just started playing and made our own clan, we reached 40 now. Should we join another clan? What is the benefits?

[hybrid ore]

A clan with 4 or more members in it has access to the Clan Vendor at the other end of the BoO. It's very nice to have, plus more people to play with.

[tawny wren]

Ok so it’s basically just the vendor no other benefits?

[hybrid ore]

People to play with, the vendor, and you get 3 characters at the start of your name that is a shortened version of your clan's name.

e.g. a clan called "cool gamers monthly" might have cgm [your name here]

[tawny wren]

Alright👌

[hybrid ore]

You also get a few hat cosmetics as you level up the clan, which have their logo on it.

cap, beret, and a bandana, iirc.

[full zinc]

That vendor sometimes has dz exclusive items

[serene elk]

This darn Coyote’s mask

I’ve run the mission 15 times on challenging
5 times on Heroic
Run the mask hotspot thrice

Just give it to me 🫠

[tawny wren]

It’s good? I got it in my first exotic cache

[quasi verge]

I got mine out of container in the open world.

[kind veldt]

crits are pretty danm strong

so basic mask that just buffs them is very useful

[surreal cedar]

Please, guys, tell me that it's the problem with the game, i killed goblin over 100 times, no backpack

[opal radish]

Have you completed the winter project first?

[surreal cedar]

yes

[opal radish]

Bad luck than

[midnight salmon]

#news-and-announcements message

[opal radish]

@full zinc 🍻🍻 🍿

[light falcon]

hello

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, Gogamer

[astral jacinth]

You guys think I can do the entire winter event in one day?

[real creek]

Yeah but convoy RNG might make you go insane.

[astral jacinth]

Is that the only thing

[opal radish]

Hi Saph

[opal radish]

Yup

[kind veldt]

the collecting and donating are super fast

just the spawn enemy ones are awful

[full zinc]

🤣 🍻
They on that real quick

There are always a few resourceful agents that find ways to immediately break intended mechanics 💯

[dapper sapphire]

How long is 1 in game day in rl

[astral jacinth]

What if I reset checkpoints

Would that respawn enemies in the map too

[kind veldt]

Still random spawns

People got first try, some people took 5+ tries

[dusk trench]

what kinda mayhem did the christmas backpack cause in pvp

[quasi verge]

Mass murder as I understand it.

[real creek]

Like 40 minutes.

[dapper sapphire]

Alr. Thanks

[ornate dagger]

hi guys my specializations in shop is owned but why i need to do research for it

it some kinda bug ?

[kind veldt]

can you equip it or have the year 1 pass from long ago?

[ornate dagger]

nah i just bought it yesterday

but my old account had year 1 pass but i cant remember they lv max or not

[tender notch]

buying the specializations grants you access to use those specs (dont need to do the research to unlock them). BUT the research still grants those bonus items, its just not required to do research anymore, if you buy the specs.

so if you want the bonus items from the research , then you got to do the research .

[ornate dagger]

ok i see thanks XD

[dapper crescent]

Do I get new mission with the year 1 pass?

[tender wave]

yeah you get the classified missions

[kind veldt]

They are kinda like side missions

Never done all of them

[sand herald]

I think project resolve is way to broad a term for the problems this game has.. its gonna take about 5years to fix this heap of horse dung

[real creek]

If you do it's just extra fast travel locations.

[bitter wraith]

Did the servers just crash?

[alpine urchin]

Same question. Got delta 03d but seem to be loading back in

[sand herald]

Dunno what the hell the devs done last update but even if i switch from speakers to headset BOOM instant crash FPS drop all the time Delta error everytime theres an active manhunt in DZ.. The bagback they just put in for Xmas is bugged to poop :D.. jeee

[alpine urchin]

Delta 03d again

[sand herald]

Yep game is down

[dapper crescent]

Im still in

[sand herald]

haha

delta 6

[bitter wraith]

Hmm maybe it's my potato internet

[light plover]

nah deffo server issue, i just got booted out, loaded back in now though 2nd attempt

[alpine urchin]

Idk mine isnt potato xd

[sand herald]

This is what am talking about the devs are running months to fix simple issues "In a live service game"...........

[lone valve]

I'm still on aswell

[light plover]

booted out again

[onyx hinge]

I dont mind the diconnection, what gets me really pissed off is, I was in decent, no spawn back in and start again

[alpine urchin]

Pretty sure theres only a small team assigned to Div 2 these days with Avatar coming out. But hopefully the servers get sorted soon

[alpine urchin]

Thats shit i had the same issue but ascent

[lone valve]

Nah there's a whole other studio helping massive

[kind veldt]

Those two are different studios at this point

[lone valve]

They are also making outlaws lol

[kind veldt]

Core massive is avatar and outlaws

Bucharest and small remaining div2 massive studios are on div2

[alpine urchin]

Gotcha

Damn forgot cant use external emotes here..

[elfin hazel]

Whats poppin División rogues, my clan and I are helping the community with getting the new SMG , if you or friends haven’t had the chance and want the new smg add me and we’ll get you set in, it all love for the Div community

[lone valve]

Probably want the LFG channels

[wise basalt]

does the festive bkpk apply any status effect w/ the fireworks?

[kind veldt]

Dont believe so

It uses concussion granades

[sand herald]

Booted yet again delta 3

[quaint maple]

How do I get the Christmas hat and backpack look?

[wooden shoal]

So I finally got the St. Elmo's Engine how do I take it and make it so I can craft a new one?

NVM

[native fern]

Servers Down !!!

[tulip moon]

Potato servers i swear

[split ether]

servers down ?

[tulip moon]

if this shit rollsback again im losing my mind

[split ether]

vaat ze fooc

[radiant hornet]

delta 6 delta 3 delta delta jesus

[native fern]

DELTA 1 servers not available !!

[tulip moon]

DLC 2025

Might as well be 2026

[lone valve]

Oh boy so the servers are actually dying
I noticed that running an incursion and it was lagging like crazy

[pastel cedar]

Delta 1 here 🥹

[tawny wren]

I also got this but only in dz. (On pc) is this normal?

Got it like 4 times in a row in dz

[coral rock]

"The Division 2 team has committed to more years of support for the game we all love and enjoy."

DELTA-01 and DELTA-03 approves! 😄

[tulip moon]

my game died at dz too.

[merry iris]

servers are wonky

[low lily]

Servers can't handle all those backpack fireworks

[merry iris]

matcchmaking really slow too

[fervent glacier]

Yes in DZ it has become common over the last 10 days due to agents using software that kicks you off the server and results in you getting a DELTA error

[merry iris]

its the servers not hacks

i get deltas in pve missions

ever since the maintance its been wonky

[bitter wraith]

Servers gone boom?

[fervent glacier]

As a day one agent (11,000 hours) i have never seen the hacking, mods. glitching so bad as it is now. And it id often easy to see and the data is available to unbisoft - just take a look at the leaderboards - a guy ahead of me with 250,00 outcast and 2 minutes total playtime in the game.

[tulip moon]

Thats normal in many PVP games, but this is the servers.

[real creek]

Someone found a way to self replicate the festive backpack and it's just frying the servers or something I bet.

[tulip moon]

ngl that backpack was a damn mistake.

[tawny wren]

Me and my friend have 40hour togheter atm, we never had any issues outside dz. But once we tried it out we both got delta 03 four times in a row

[runic lichen]

cute backpack😍

[glass charm]

server down?

[fervent glacier]

I have not played GR Breakpoint as much as Div 2 - but i never noticed so many problems in GR Breakpoint - and that uses a different anticheat software.. if Battle-eye better then?

[bitter wraith]

We getting gta 6 before division 2 DLC ☠️

[tawny wren]

Division 3 when

[bitter wraith]

Division 5.5 when

[tulip moon]

XDDDD

[fervent glacier]

we are getting GTA 7 Before division 2 DLC

[runic lichen]

lol

[tulip moon]

Fix the game before adding new shit lol.

[bitter wraith]

Wait division 2 in 2026?? Damn that sounds weird to say

[merry iris]

is named weapons worth keeping?

[bitter wraith]

Yes...kind of

[merry iris]

explain plz

[fervent glacier]

Christams Quiz - try guess what the developers excuse will be?

[bitter wraith]

What named weapons do you have?

[merry iris]

a bunch of them lol

ive dismanteled a couple but it just hit me mayube i should save them

[lone valve]

Some are good yea

It depends on weapon by weapon basis

[novel moat]

Is anyone’s else getting delta errors ?

I can’t seem to log in the game

[real creek]

Same... But it's probably cause I'm 14 miles away at work...

[novel moat]

Every works till I pick a character and then delta 01

[lone valve]

Nah the servers are actually fried
Can't log in either

[novel moat]

Thx thought it was me, even verified all game files

I’m from Holland btw

Okay an British buddy just confirmed European servers are fooked

[lone valve]

Yep

[novel moat]

2000 bugs and then these fooked up servers and they dare to ask for more money from me

Okay back to a single player game, have fun and good luck tonight o7

[real creek]

They weren't lying about needing that server maintenance huh?

[fervent glacier]

got in now - they putting us on US servers

[lone valve]

Servers dying maybe someone found a new xp exploit

[novel moat]

@lone valve it’s the festive backpack probably with grenade damage

[merry iris]

stop making stuff up lol why would it be that

[low lily]

Don't give us hope.....

[lone valve]

It's the eu Servers Only apparently

[merry iris]

thx isreal

jk

[outer elbow]

can confirm, EU here, Delta 04

[acoustic tangle]

Hey everyone ❤️

[dire patrol]

Not sure about anyone else but Private Cole is still an issue for me. Multiple days I've tried to get him to spawn. Different times 2100 — 0500. Didn't spawn, went and did activity and came back. Still nadda

[bitter wraith]

The grenade thing is so op wiped a whole manhunt with one grenade earlier

[kind veldt]

since no one cna pinpoint exactly what it made it work

boss only appeared when there was an activity nearby his spawn

[fervent glacier]

15 minutes into the game - hacker in DZ east kicked us from server. OK move to DZ south - hacker used the mix up control keys hack

WTF

[low lily]

Servers are really bad right now, people are getting deltas constantly

[serene elk]

you can camp his spawn point no?

worked for me anyway

[dire patrol]

I've tried everything. 😔

[serene elk]

I did it 2 days ago

first try and all

[serene elk]

I met a hacker last time I went into DZ that would spawn point hack his way around the map when he died

said to myself I ain't going into DZ for a few more days

[low lily]

PC dz sounds wild

[dire patrol]

I said I tried everything with the exception of turning off Hollywood. Turned it off and he spawned right away. Wouldn't of thought that would of made a difference 🤷🏻‍♂️

[silent nymph]

so i guess now the christmas back pack with the collector combo along with mad bomber talent is a B to fight someone using it

[wise basalt]

xmas bkpk is being fixed tomorrow

[oak prawn]

It's nkt that bad it's worse in the invaded

Invaded is a sh**show hackers cheaters people who spawn camp people who hog the loot

[rotund spindle]

is summit level 100 still a thing? or is it not worth time

[runic lichen]

please give me ouroboros after the maintenance work 😉 😍

[bitter wraith]

Took me 15+ attempts including the times people ragequit near the end

[runic lichen]

fr fr T^T

people ragequit at the start xD

thinking bout wait for reset to loot the Box, its such a pain playing this mode

[green charm]

server down?

[bitter wraith]

Yes

[green charm]

now is online again 🙂

[bitter wraith]

OK nice

[copper shoal]

Yes fighting the hunters in the big room is fun.

[quiet bramble]

If you miss a day during the christmas unlocks, do you get a second chance later, or are you fsol???

[quiet bramble]

Are you high, or just insane????

[quaint acorn]

Why would it not be fun? It's challenging which makes it entertaining

[quiet bramble]

Because its alot of things at one time, yet again, this could also stem from the fact that i have only had access tp crappie builds and thus have not have had the fun of it.

[cobalt timber]

Hello everyone, new player here, I've got a question, I'm doing SHD Tech caches in NYC and in every district I'm missing one and it doesn't show on the map, how can I find them ?

[tender wave]

Make sure you've cleared the whole map, some of them are near the edges and just show as little question marks until you get close

Or just Google a map

[cobalt timber]

thank you it was the question marks

[ivory pebble]

Anyone else having an issue with the Loot Dude spawning once completing the scavenger hunt quests? I haven't seen my guy who always spawns at JTC when I travel there at night, for two plus days now. Also, all of my toons show that the final stash needs to be found in the market, yet nothing there.

[fiery cloud]

Evening Local, Kettle, cory

[tender wave]

Hey Saph

[fiery cloud]

@ivory pebble use dcd

[tender wave]

The final stash was in the market for me, by a throne with a teddy bear on it, rewarded the beard from the Santa outfit.

[ivory pebble]

tried. tried capital building as well

[tender wave]

Can't comment personally on loot goblin spawns but others have reported farming him for backpacks so it's probably just rng

[ivory pebble]

yes, I completed it once and now the projects keep showing that it needs to be done

[tender wave]

I think that's just a bug with the project

[azure lintel]

Is the Carnage DZ exclusive?

[ivory pebble]

yes

or descent

[silk cliff]

There a glitch on the winter project

I've already done this Santa beard project and now it's given the same damn project which can't be completed as there no interactions available

And this is also on playstation and Xbox and pc

[lone valve]

It's not dz exclusive

@azure lintel

[silk cliff]

Matador backpack
Gift backpack
Rock n roll shotgun
Emperor's guard knee pads
Orbit
Tdi-kard custom
The Virginian rifle

Theses are DZ exclusive

[kind veldt]

claws out

and i think a glove with armor on kill also?

[azure lintel]

Same

[silk cliff]

Deathgrips

[tender wave]

Check the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice, that will tell you whether an item is dz exclusive or not

[ivory pebble]

yea, you're right. I confused it with Black Friday for whatever reason

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTJEX5DerCvOj3a_m36TRy1gPBAUvrduOIdmXI9j1Y0MpQk1wIXaZ9KOcPa7HzXzp_N5qGmjDj6yEfL/pubhtml#

[ivory pebble]

OK, good to know I'm not the only one that this is happening to. Is your loot goblin spawning at all?

[silk cliff]

Haven't really gone after the loot goblin as I did him last year from what he dropping I already have

If he not spawning in on open world

You can spawn him in the summit it's the same goblin you just have to climb the floors that what happened last year where he stip spawning in open world and he spawned in the summit

Same with the winter project we had it happen last year too nothing new same old bugs that got left out of the patch and updates

[ivory pebble]

Yea, you would think they would've coded the new backback into the recalibration station before the event.... but some things never change. last year the oh carol couldn't be recalibrated

[silk cliff]

Indeed bro 😂

[lone valve]

Jokes on you for thinking massive have the capability to learn

[ivory pebble]

Yea, I feel guilty for having such feelings. LOL. It is like this "Project Resolve". I have affectionately renamed it "Project Lip Service". Now if they manage to subvert my expectations, then HELL YES!

[granite zephyr]

guys i picked up 100 christmas items, but I don't think it is enough

I need more!

i have logged out and logged in more thant 70 times in the past hour

I have yet to collect 30 more chill out masks to reach my quota

all they give me is sleigher or carol

[lone valve]

OK it has to be bugged then

[granite zephyr]

40 sleigher, something isnt right

[lone valve]

I'm pretty sure it's because the project isn't actually over if you look at the projects tab

It's repeating itself now

[granite zephyr]

projects affect this?

[lone valve]

So until the project ends it doesn't add the backpack into the loot goblin pool

[granite zephyr]

i finished only until backpack and it drops backpack now

got 30 Festive

trying to collect all the possible variants now

[lone valve]

Oh I thought you were saying the festive wasn't dropping out of 100 tries

[tawny wren]

i have two pair of gloves with maxed rolls on weapon damage, but i cant extract it to the recal library. Anyone know why?

[granite zephyr]

you already maxed it?

[tawny wren]

no

one of the gloves is exotic, other one is named if that matters

but i think i just extracted a max rolled named item earlier?

[lone valve]

You can't extract attributes from exotics and if that named glove has a yellow text attribute it means it's the perfect version of that attribute and that also can't be extracted
They are exclusive to those gloves

[silk cliff]

Or one can say per locked

[tawny wren]

I extracted 8% weapon handling from the carpenter chest earlier. But now I can't extract 15% weapon damage from contractor's gloves

[lone valve]

Did you optimise that by any chance

[tawny wren]

No just looted them 😄

[lone valve]

Are you sure you don't have max weapon damage attribute already
If not send a screenshot of how it looks when you go to recal in #ask-td2-community

[karmic prairie]

i have just got the game guys new player 🙂

[lone valve]

Welcome hope you enjoy the game

[silk cliff]

Check if you see any white arrows as this will tell you if you need it or not if the arrows are at the end and orange then your library don't need it this works for all

And if you see a diamond with a plus 1 on talents then your library don't need them too

[karmic prairie]

hows the game like 🙂

[lone valve]

I think that's for you to experience my friend 😉

[regal summit]

I can’t get by the project for the Santa beard. Is This broken for anyone else?

[tawny wren]

i posted screenshots in other channel

[silk cliff]

I'll take a look scrap that can't see that channel

[regal summit]

I did the project….ANy now it says I did not. I go back to the sport and there is nothing there any time for me to pick up to do the challenge. Anyone have this isusue?

[silk cliff]

It's a bug from last year so it will be fixed but don't know when

[regal summit]

Fucking Great

[green charm]

restart server on 1 hour

why?

[karmic prairie]

any adice for the new layer

[serene elk]

this is the second time half my cd team dc'd after main mission is complete

that's crazy

[ivory pebble]

So you are saying that you did NOT do the beard? If that is the case and it is why you still see the goblin, then it is a definite bug in the game. My guy hasn't spawned at three 100% guaranteed spawn points in 2 days now.

[granite zephyr]

mine spawned 10 times in a row

dz south

[green charm]

me too spawned in a row dz south

if not spawn immediately turn around the spawn

in the area

[granite zephyr]

whaddayaknow, another chill out mask

yeah, he spawns in first manhole, if not, second, a little far away, if not

the third manhole behind the bus far away

[granite zephyr]

no beard

[ivory pebble]

thanks

[kind veldt]

man i reaslly wish phase 2 reworks gear sets

cause still mad over tip of the spear

[granite zephyr]

ninja bike gang funny

destroy all enemies in the darkzone with ridiculous gearsets and combination

[hidden relic]

it's official. i killed all the Hunters twice in my world and a friend's world. i will now hang up my tomahawk on the wall

[quasi verge]

Huzzah?

[lean fog]

Hi guys i cant check in game right now, can i know what is the active global event this week or league or manhunt target?

[hidden relic]

it's nothing special, i just think it's very funny for the Hunters to have been hunted

[quasi verge]

Ahh. I see.

[serene elk]

finally got my coyote's from a SHD level 18000

😭

I was on my 20th or so run and he just handed it to me with 15% weapon damage

[inner mason]

is there a maintenance rn?

also with the self blowing up exploit being fixed immediately is the backpack not recalibrating also getting fixed?

[vernal garnet]

Received my Bighorn from a kind random matchmaking gamer on DUA Legendary, god knows after grinding how many times for it everywhere.

[buoyant cloud]

Hello anybody wanna play with a noob brand new

[blissful adder]

[hidden relic]

[blissful adder]

[brisk copper]

Is there a maintanance tonight.

[hidden relic]

yea

it's gonna come around in like 40 minutes

[brisk copper]

Do we know why.

[fluid meadow]

Because of festive delivery working on yourself

A major W for pvp players after a long time

[thorny talon]

20th.... Rookie number

[brisk copper]

So they are going to fix the Festive backpack.

[thorny talon]

20 players who pvp ..🎻 _

[fluid meadow]

20? You're in for a blast

[thorny talon]

🥸☝️

[fluid meadow]

Boy do i have some news for you

[blissful adder]

but i havent any active winter project. it tells complete. i see timer only when event ends.

[hidden relic]

does it say anything about donating stuff

you have to look into your projects stuff

[blissful adder]

no. winter project complete and timers for event ends, new project in. thats all.

[hidden relic]

oh i haven't checked in a while

idk what then sorry

[tulip moon]

3 hours down to fix the backpack? 😄

prob more than that like always

[hidden relic]

time to wait 8 hours

[tulip moon]

Something like that

[prime raptor]

Can somebody please help me out with a question i have so on my 2 character for some reason im lvl66 on season pass so i have most man hunts unlock but yet their not showing on my map and when i goto manhunts their locked can someone explain to me do i need to do somenthing like beat all the other man hunts that are open first then the ones that are locked will open or something i tried asking for help on pc in the game chat and oh lord theirs some real twitter finger trolls in this game i dont even have friends on pc cuz omg the ppl here are somenthing else would be nice to find good people thats willing to help out instead of being trolls men not saying u guys on here but some people in the game chat itself are wild

[sick thicket]

make that 21

[neon wyvern]

21.5

[full zinc]

did you fast travel to any of the missions and switch mode? i think its in difficulty screen. this is how you switch from normal/manhunt/invaded

[hidden relic]

22

[neon wyvern]

lol

[sick thicket]

anyone familiar with a site or server where open world targeted loot is posted daily?

[tulip moon]

at this point there is nothing else to do in this game than PVP. so good that they are fixing that mess of a backpack.

[buoyant cloud]

Should I even start the game ?

Never played it b4

[hidden relic]

Countdown

[sick thicket]

theyre making a lot of changes which make it easier for newer players, so it wouldnt be the worst idea

[hidden relic]

uhhhhhhhh

yea i don't think anything else comes to mind after finishing a build

[buoyant cloud]

Anybody want to join me for my first pt?

[hidden relic]

could replay the campaign with your latest apparel tho

[sick thicket]

😂

[mighty dove]

Are the servers down?

[buoyant cloud]

Yes

Maintenance

[mighty dove]

You know something about the Time?

[hidden relic]

3 hours they said

[sick thicket]

nice to see them address and fix the new backpack as quickly as they have

that wouldve brought the pvp playercount to single digits

[buoyant cloud]

So anybody want to play with a new lvl ?

Im lvl 2 atm

[hybrid ore]

There's a maintenance on right now, should take about 3 hours.
And no one's allowed to LFG in the main chat, but welcome all the same, Agent

[thorny talon]

yes story is good and only game in market from looter shooter genre where fantasy, alien, zombies, weird stuff isnt used.

[hidden relic]

if you're playing td1, you're not gonna find a lot of people willing to play it with you

td2 introduces too much QoL features and content that td1 is just too difficult to come back to without getting bored almost immediately

although i prefer td1's atmosphere and apparel more i can't deny that td2's ultimately the better game

[buoyant cloud]

Gotcha

[buoyant cloud]

Tysm for the info

[thorny talon]

td1 = depression phase
td2 = you experience all emotions

[glad river]

ah there's maintenance. man i just wanna shoot some shit after work T_T

when did the maintenance started for the 3 hours time frame

[thorny talon]

1 hour ago

[hidden relic]

it started just an hour ago

2 more hours agent

[glad river]

ah cool, 2 more hours

[thorny talon]

realistically 4-5 if things go the usual way

[glad river]

i should touch grass while i got 2 hours with nothing to do

[hidden relic]

if i were you i'd expect 8 hours and hope for 2 hours

[glad river]

or play another backlog

[fiery cloud]

Hey Vsvm

[spice nimbus]

hi all while there is down time i have a few questions, i started about 3 days ago and have reached world tier 2

[fiery cloud]

Nice keep going

Finish wt5 before jumping

[spice nimbus]

before jumping?

[fiery cloud]

Going to WONY

[spice nimbus]

im really sorry im super new to this first divisoin i have played whats WONY

[fiery cloud]

Warlords of newyork

[spice nimbus]

ohhh so you would 100% recommend getting it or is it not neccessary?

[fiery cloud]

It's all the endgame

You'll stop at lvl 30 for main game ...you'll be lvl 40 at end of wony then start shd watch lvls

[spice nimbus]

hmmm thats starting to make sense now so you wont get SHD lvls till you get WONY and are lvl 40

[fiery cloud]

Yup gotta beat keener to get his watch

[spice nimbus]

nice thank you nothing i can really prioritise for the mean time then i guess other then get world tier 5

[glad river]

that's pretty damn fast to tier 2

[fiery cloud]

If you like following the story then it's whiteoak, Pentagon and darpa and then coney island

[glad river]

i started 2 weeks ago and just got tier 3 yesterday

still grinding to tier 5 before doing expansion now but server maintenance forcing me to touch grass

[spice nimbus]

to be fair aha i have put near 30 hours into it already fell in love super fast, i feel you there aha

[spice nimbus]

thank you 🙂

[fiery cloud]

You 2 should team up

[glad river]

doubt it, i'm in SEA, all i see in chat are racist people and chinese characters >.>

not sure if connection to other region will be good enough

[spice nimbus]

im in aus/oceania barely ever see anything in chat

[fiery cloud]

Yup you 2 should team up

[fair lake]

chinese spam is everywhere in global chat 💀

[fiery cloud]

Hey serj long time no ser

[thorny talon]

sup saph

[glad river]

maybe you muted the chat, i learned the other day that world chat in my game is auto muted lol

[fair lake]

Hey, Saph

[glad river]

by default

[spice nimbus]

yeah thats probably it lol

[fiery cloud]

Hell hop over the the other server and grab one of the rooms there

[glad river]

you do get some decent chats if you're not in central, but central is filled with chinese spam and i have no idea what they're saying

[thorny talon]

yea they need seperate ingame chats for different languages

so annoying

[glad river]

that's i agree

[fiery cloud]

@glad river @spice nimbus do you guys have the other server

[glad river]

would be so nice if it was the case,

other server?

[spice nimbus]

which one?

[glad river]

we can change server?

[spice nimbus]

discord server i believe he means

[glad river]

what server bud?

[fiery cloud]

Just sent it to both

When we lost all the rooms we went there

[hidden relic]

it took me a week till wt5 and the first 3 days i spent on unlocking safehouses and doing control points and activities, got side tracked too much before finally focusing on the campaign

it definitely made things a lot easier though

[glad river]

yeah side stuff is fun bc the gameplay loop is fun so it's easy to get side tracked

esp if you have limited gaming time

hence taking me 2 weeks to get to tier 3

[hidden relic]

i was just really into the LARP of being a super secret super agent that i lost track of time

[hidden relic]

really? all the people i know with limited gaming time got to wt5 in 10 hours of gameplay or below

[glad river]

lol

[glad river]

i get distracted really easy, like a labradoodle

[spice nimbus]

im on holidays from work so i have all the time in the world at the moment, and after about lvl 20 i started hard focusing campaign

[hidden relic]

fair enough, my uni doesn't need me to attend face to face so i can stay at home slaving away at the division 2, if i had less time to play im almost certain i would have cut the time needed to wt5 by half

[fiery cloud]

Don't worry about gear it'll keep changing

[tulip moon]

What for?

[hidden relic]

competing with the santa outfit players that run around like maniacs and doing the whole thing solo

[fiery cloud]

Tcd is awesome for proficiency grinding

[hidden relic]

tcd?

[fiery cloud]

Cd. My fat fingers

[hidden relic]

ohh

well it's short and sweet so that makes sense

[neon wyvern]

the count down

[spice nimbus]

lol i got santa hat and the Tommy gun (sleigher) at like lvl 20

[hidden relic]

the final countdown

[spice nimbus]

cool gun but usless

[glad river]

oh yeah i tried the gun, got bodied by the mob

[tribal sundial]

da da daa, da da dada daa

[fiery cloud]

It's been nerfered horrifying bad

[glad river]

the backpack is nice though

[fiery cloud]

Yep and farmable

[glad river]

what?

you can farm backpack?

i thought it was a one time daily event

[fiery cloud]

Yup find the loot elf and kill the hell out of him

[glad river]

i keep getting the tommy gun everytime i kill the little fecker

[fiery cloud]

Might be higher tier

[spice nimbus]

i have only ever seen him once, there isnt a notification to say he is there?

[glad river]

rngesus did me dirty

random encounter for me @spice nimbus

[spice nimbus]

ahhh ok thanks

[fiery cloud]

Dcd is a good place

[tender wave]

You can farm him, there are guides on YouTube

[hidden relic]

the backpack for me was a decent roll, could be better but i don't think im ever going to use it

[glad river]

was lvl 20 something the first time, so feckin hyped when i saw the drop lol

[hybrid ore]

They've actually got a fairly decent loot pool, keep an eye out for the Chill Out mask in particular.

[glad river]

then i tried using the gun and got bodied by mobs, so i thought eh

[fiery cloud]

Morning Rivens

[glad river]

didn't realise they have a different possible drop lol

[hybrid ore]

Chill Out Mask, Oh Carol MMR, Sleigher SMG, etc.

hey Saph

[glad river]

gotta try checking him out tomorrow then into the long weekend

don't think today's maintenance will be in time for my gaming hour

[hybrid ore]

He'll have the loot pool until early January, so no big rush.

[inner mason]

are they fixing the recalibration and donation bugs with the backpack? you know, since they're patching the 3rd bug with it?

[glad river]

gotta run out later in an hour to grab some dinner

[azure lintel]

game no worky

frick

when did it start

[hybrid ore]

#news-and-announcements

[azure lintel]

the ai lesbian

interesting

[midnight salmon]

🤔

[raven pagoda]

are the servers working?

[crude plume]

anyone else getting MIKE-01 errors? it says services are not available at this time

[raven pagoda]

yhh same

[fluid meadow]

Maintenance

[fluid meadow]

^

[candid stag]

The game is trash rn especially the pvp they are ruining it

[crude plume]

i wish there wouldnt be any pvp in this game

[modest lintel]

lego got no pvp

[winter meteor]

I cannot connect to the division 2 online services. The bar wont even go up from 0%. I am connecting to wifi with 100download and 100mb/s upload speed. Anybody any idea?

I get Tom Clancy's the division 2 services are not available at this time. Please try again

[modest lintel]

check their tweeter acc

[winter meteor]

Oh I usually only check the discord channel. But now I see on ubisoft it says maintenance

[wraith girder]

🤣

[honest carbon]

yeah i can't connect either, this never happens to me, internet seems fine ||it's almost like there's maintenance that was announced||

[dense shore]

How long is maintenance???

[brisk copper]

Pick a number between 1 and ?????????????

[thin kayak]

.

[runic lichen]

🥺

[sick thicket]

maintenance has been extended by another hour when

[hidden relic]

waiting for the maintenance to be extended

[stable iron]

Please god no and I am refunding the game if they extended it

[low lily]

Refund? 🤣

[cedar flicker]

Hope no more extend maintenance

[stable iron]

I am not waiting for extended maintenance

[lone valve]

Extended till February

[sick thicket]

project resolve

[grave jetty]

is maintenance over?

[thorny talon]

Bro got attention span of goldfish 🥶

[hidden relic]

presumably there's 14 minutes left

[thorny talon]

20 min more

[hidden relic]

it's 13 minutes reee

[thorny talon]

🥸☝️

[hidden relic]

goddammit

[dense shore]

Reeeeee

[candid stag]

U look goofy asf of course u don’t like pvp lol

Do paradise lost speed run hhhhhhhhhhhh

[noble ember]

It's done?

[candid stag]

No

[wraith girder]

that's not how refunding works

[inner mason]

PVP's fun it's just the way the DZs are setup that's stupid

Div1 had the DZ layout perfected

[wraith girder]

imagine enjoying pvp

[inner mason]

balancing was not that great with Nomad being the meta

[candid stag]

I agree with u the pp%

100

[inner mason]

dude you have no place to do anything in the 3 small ass DZs and only 12 players

[heavy dirge]

well, the layout of div1 just allowed people more room to avoid the dickhead pvp'ers. see a rogue on the map? move up to dz9. but it was literally just as corrosively toxic as anything you'll see in div2.

[inner mason]

div1 had the better rogue mechanics. if a rogue/manhunt dies and respawns he has to link up with his teammates to get their rank

Div2 is ass in that regard cause they can keep spawning everywhere lol

[sick thicket]

just glad self nade got patched

ty devs

[shrewd dawn]

are there any dates for next pts?

[sick thicket]

feb 2024

[inner mason]

dude another problem with Div2 pvp is that it doesn't show you on the minimap the directional death marker that pops up on player deaths. just shows you the distance like that matters. mega map should also show you the all rogue updates in real time. rn it's sooo random.

div1 had all of these fixed and I don't know why div2 removed them.

[sick thicket]

project resolve needs to be dissolved and taken back to the drawing board

[lime fulcrum]

servers are up bois and girls.

[candid stag]

I want to join u

[inner mason]

following manhunts to their stations is fucking atrocious. in div1 it showed you the location of their terminals but in div2 you have to stop and open the map to see it.

[lime fulcrum]

buy a pc then join me 😂

[candid stag]

Not in the game ….

[heavy dirge]

pvp just needs to be divorced from pve in this game and just basically be it's own game mode with it's own gear and stuff. that might actually resemble something worth playing (the conflict changes look nice to me...)

[lime fulcrum]

i know it was sarcasm......

[azure lintel]

Yes Server online

[inner mason]

yes and no since it's possible to have it work imo

someone check and see if they fixed the backlack recalibration and expertise donation.

[sick thicket]

pvp should be all gun-game

[inner mason]

nah I disagree. Division PVP is unique and having it be guns only would make it like every other 3rd person shooter.

[hidden relic]

hate to get in the way of talking about actual issues in the game but project resolve needs to add balaclavas to hunter masks fr

[sick thicket]

hell yeah drop that stinger hive bor

raw talent

[inner mason]

funny. what they should do is capitalize on the 3 DZs and make one of em guns only. the explanation can be that the hunters are there and skills don't work.

headless chicken dancing and facetanking with Famas and shotgun can't be topped

drop that decoy and get to runnin

[sick thicket]

contrary to what i said. i dont mind skill builds. st elmos/shock is my only complaint up until the new backpack self-nade

[inner mason]

I hate that and the current meta of 2 mil armor crit builds.

you can counter skills as a team but otherwise it's annoying. you can't really spec into multiple things and have the build compete

very specific builds can achieve that and they're not strong enough to face tank

[sick thicket]

i kinda enjoy the 1v1 catharsis/matador/unbreakable setups in fixed environments

but once u try running that famas build u were mentioning in server fights, you get reality checked by status pretty quickly

yeah i agree

recently threw together a shock resistant build, and it's as if you make a build preimptively assuming the you're going to run into that, and then you fight a meta 2m armor crit build

[inner mason]

status builds aren't as strong because of the Catharsis mask imo. I've seen groups survive fire stickies by relying on booster/catharsis

just use foam lol

I hate foam with a passion but it works

[sick thicket]

yeah booster is a must atm

if not running haz pro

[inner mason]

it pains me to say this but hazpro is a waste of stats when you have the booster.

[sick thicket]

by status im strictly referring to shock honestly lol

agreed

[inner mason]

yeah it's cancer

the new resolve change is great

[sick thicket]

in regards to that yeah

[inner mason]

rn I really like all the changes except the gear lock

like build lock is fine but not changing gear pieces out of combat in PVP is stupid

it's going to force using the strongest meta build

[sick thicket]

i dont know how familiar u are with everything that's in it, but ironically it's really unbalanced

[inner mason]

and specific builds in teams

I saw the weapons rebalancing and that can be fixed in the second pts

[sick thicket]

not just weapons, builds, talents etc

[inner mason]

they're not gonna let that shit slide knowing them devs hate seeing us strong

no way they keep everything as is

[sick thicket]

i mean determined hh and hh fury are a thing

thats def not the case lol

[inner mason]

yeah I'm not really that into PVE so if you see me talking about something just assume it's PVP related lol

determined has to go

or at least make it so it doesn't work without having to be scoped in

and using a 12× scope

just like focus

[sick thicket]

gotta pve to get the pvp going tbh. i think they should keep high skillgaps in the game

catering to newer players is a bad idea

[inner mason]

I hate that fact and you just reminded me that I need to finish that character for points

should be both ways imo

[sick thicket]

need to catch up on expertise myself. procrastinating it at this point

[inner mason]

focus on going down the middle between new and vet players

[sick thicket]

true there should be a balance as far as that

guess we'll see how it goes

[inner mason]

conflict should automatically boost all your stats (expertise, SHD and stats on gear) to the max so players don't feel the need to have a perfect build to play it

since it's like any other PVP mode in other games

DZ shouldn't have any expertise or SHD benefits imo and only invaded DZ should have those

your gear needs to be at least optimised but not every single stat that you have. leave that to the sweaty invaded DZ

[ancient birch]

i dont think the festive backpack is fixed lmao.... bunch of us testing in dz

[inner mason]

lolol

no way hehe

[sick thicket]

i'm not a very good candidate to say what the game needs or doesn't, started playing at the beginning of this year. its fun though

hopefully they fix that backpack
