[low lily]

Marked by nature? 🤣 Mate you really know how to make me laugh, thanks for making my day better

[reef reef]

I'm gonna tell you nicely to stop. Lets not continue this any further.

[full zinc]

🍿 🥱

[quasi verge]

I can't see your point for all the personal attacks. Perhaps that's the problem.

[tawny wren]

I agree with @obtuse prairie on every point, keep going 🔥

[dire ravine]

Got anymore popcorn @full zinc

[full zinc]

🍿 🍻 and something to wash it down with

[dire ravine]

Now we're talking

[quasi verge]

Gonna need a bigger bucket of popcorn I think.

[low lily]

Yeah provoke a mod 🤣 good idea

[reef reef]

Just stop with the personal attacks, and its whatever.

[serene elk]

The heck?

[full zinc]

no reason to be scared, youll just have less of an audience pretty soon im guessing

[dire ravine]

Just makes me laugh when people argue over div. It's not comp. It's not ranked. You're not making money. Just not that serious

[full zinc]

fr

[serene elk]

Some people aren’t making money

But some people are

[stone quest]

🍼 i prefer this tbh

[dire ravine]

Lmaoo

[full zinc]

🍿 🥛

[dire ravine]

Everybody dies in dz. It's alright, you respawn. It's a video game it will be ok. No reason for personal attacks

[low lily]

Here we go again

[serene elk]

Am I reading English?

[reef reef]

it is partially english

[serene elk]

What does any of this mean

[quasi verge]

Can we be partially done with it?

[full zinc]

🤣

[serene elk]

I am already half out the door

[quasi verge]

I heard a distant poof and then all was silent.

[serene elk]

And he is fully out the door

[dire ravine]

Bruh my head hurts trying to comprehend

[full zinc]

welp, the real project resolve... Aspect!!

[dire ravine]

Lmaoo facts

😂

[serene elk]

The real PVP changes

[reef reef]

the real project resolve is the friends we made along the way

[quasi verge]

Oh dear. I haven't made any friends at all.

[tropic breach]

is it still santa beard?

[quasi verge]

Santa Beard is the last. Now you can go farm backpacks.

[brazen sparrow]

If you're every looking for someone to play with, I'm down. I haven't played this game in ages but am getting back into it! Send me a dm if you're interested

[full zinc]

nice, welcome back agent

[small spear]

project rambunctious isn't the worst friend you can make

[steady shoal]

Jeez I had never used St Elmo's, it literally goes through enemies like a knife through butter. I love it

[glossy edge]

Can i ask how you got it?

[steady shoal]

Random chest drop in Summit

[glossy edge]

Damnit ok thx

[steady shoal]

I targeted assault rifles

[glossy edge]

Mhmm

[steady shoal]

Got extremely lucky in that session. Got that and also the Coyote Mask from an exotic cache

[glossy edge]

Ok so my plan now is to just figure out a way to farm exotics in the base game

[broken solstice]

put on directives. it seems to make more drop

[glossy edge]

Directives?? What is that?

[broken solstice]

its stuff that puts you at a disadvantage. one of them is to turn off the mini map so you dont know where enemies are. i dont know if you are able to use them at lvl 30 tho but its in the map menu

makes your xp higher and targeted loot drop more

[glossy edge]

Ohh

[kind veldt]

Mutators/modifiers

[glossy edge]

Makes the game harder for better loot hmm

[kind veldt]

Game gets harder but you get more stuff

[neon wyvern]

No regen and fog of war are free directives

[glossy edge]

Noted ill see if its on the lvl 30 map then

[neon wyvern]

Special ammo also not bad

[steady shoal]

I believe you unlock them after completing WoNY

[broken solstice]

i do HHF with a D50 and put on pistolero and everything but cool skills bc im using artificer hive and bulwark shield

[neon wyvern]

encounters black tusk

[glossy edge]

Damn

[broken solstice]

4 out of 5 directives even on challenging gets you a shd lvl liike every 2.5 activities in the open world

[steady shoal]

I enabled only two. The one that gives enemies special ammo and the one that makes you wait for the special ability when you use the other one

And in summit also the one that replaces time for special abilities with those green drops you get after killing enemies

[last rock]

Need someone to carry me through DLC

[steady shoal]

I'm too much of a noob to play without the map telling me where enemies are coming from lol

[glossy edge]

Real

[broken solstice]

its a good skill t o learn

[neon wyvern]

I turn off fog of war In open world to find comms lol

[lone valve]

Hyena and bt tho

[neon wyvern]

bt is the only bad one tbh

[lone valve]

Can I just say how many people come here saying they've been trying for hours and didn't get x exotic
Meanwhile on a single CD objective 3 exo bps drop

[neon wyvern]

how

[lone valve]

Idk

2 NINJA 1 memento

[neon wyvern]

2 exotic components

[lone valve]

Memento too

I already have one maxed lol

[broken solstice]

i hardly ever get exotics in countdown. i just get repeats of the same named items like 15 times over with crap attributes

[neon wyvern]

2 exotic components for the average newbie*

[lone valve]

Ah sure yea

[neon wyvern]

relatable as a brandset targeter

[lone valve]

Had 2 chameleons drop this week lol
In the same cd

Maybe I'm just blessed

[neon wyvern]

It's raining exo components

[glossy edge]

Wait is it possible to make a control point increase its alert lvl?

[broken solstice]

yeah

[glossy edge]

To get better loot

[glossy edge]

How?

[kind veldt]

if you see a line connecting to an open world activity, doing that one will increase the level

[lone valve]

If you play on heroic you don't need but yes

[broken solstice]

you do the activities in the immediate area

[kind veldt]

or increase your world tier

[neon wyvern]

look at red events near the cp if it has a line leading to the cp it increases alert

[glossy edge]

Appreciate it

[glossy edge]

Thank yall

Ngl last time i did a cp lvl 3 i died 3 times and i had to call for backup to claim it

[last rock]

Carry pls

[neon wyvern]

You can also skip the alert system with heroic difficulty

[steady shoal]

I've tried all day to get memento from Summit, but I didn't even get a single exotic this time. Tried countdown once but couldn't get past the agent. He obliterated me lol

[glossy edge]

Will never know how to do that

[steady shoal]

I should probably try again with the adjusted build now

[broken solstice]

i use protection from elites mods and survivalist spec in countdown a lot so I can face those hunters and take just a bit of damage

[steady shoal]

Right now I'm using coyote mask, striker chestplate, backpack, gloves and holster for that striker gamble and fenris kneepad for that extra 10% in rifle damage

Almost got my armor to 1M, I should probably focus on that for CD

[neon wyvern]

those hunters still hurt 70% pfe or not

[broken solstice]

yeah but you dont die unless you're straight up afk

[neon wyvern]

I use bloody knuckles in countdown nowadays tho

so I'm missing a pfe mod

[broken solstice]

i have so many 12% pfe mods. never got a 13 yet

[neon wyvern]

I have exactly 12 of 12%

perfect for hotswapping on extraction when bad team

[real creek]

They show up at the vendors tho...

[neon wyvern]

13% pfe at the vendor

[broken solstice]

13s? i never seen that

[real creek]

Naw the 12s

[broken solstice]

oh yea

[steady shoal]

Also picked up sharpshooter for that big ass sniper rifle, only to discover I have to get ammo from enemies drop🙃

[broken solstice]

yeah but it keeps coming as you get headshot kills or whatever procs that ammo to drop

i thought there was a perk in the spec tree that made specialization weapon ammo generate if you stay in cover for long enough.. i know you get mmr and rifle ammo that way but not sure about the tac50

[lone valve]

I use a mishmash of gear im not proficient with yet

[neon wyvern]

good excuse to use bad builds

[broken solstice]

i feel bad if i dont contribute. So i use perfect opportunistic for 15% and with scorpio to give another 20% dmg to everyone else shooting who im shooting. i end up leading a lot only bc ppl just follow me.

challenging countdown is so easy with 70-80% pfe. and i have good damage. the scorpio is at 56% chc and it crits around 600k per pellet

[iron void]

I have never done any single D2 raid and want to know what people expect as far as level minimums and power requirements? Thanks 😊

[real creek]

You can go in with almost nothing or others want a certain SHD and build. Depends on the group you get carried by.

[broken solstice]

generally one of the standard raid builds is a high end all red dps. 3pc providence, foxes prayers, contractors gloves, and grupo

[swift storm]

learn how the raid mechanic goes. dont need to know by heart, but it's better to know simple mechanics so you're not left idling around and not focusing fire

[neon wyvern]

Challenging countdown is so easy

[swift storm]

also tell the raid group leader you're new or lack experience. if they're ok with it they'll accept you and will probably tell you what to do (ez tasks like 'go sit there and shootie shootie')

[broken solstice]

oh yea i meant heroic. challenging is a cake walk

[iron void]

Thanks for tips agents

Are green gear pieces imperative or yellow hybrid builds okay?

[sick thicket]

is there a fixed point you need to reaach in descent in order to obtain named blueprints* not entirely sure how it works

[broken solstice]

where ever it is. i cant get that far probably

[lone valve]

Another CD run two more exo bps

[broken solstice]

damn. stacks of exo components

[lone valve]

Maybe targeting bps in countdown is the new wave

[broken solstice]

maybe for you. i try that and get nothin most likely

[rare dragon]

Had a lot of success with targeting AR’s as well, so many Chameleons and occasionally Elmos dropping

Had 2 Chameleons and 1 Elmo in one run once

[waxen bobcat]

where can elmo dropp

[hybrid ore]

Everywhere. (Targeted Loot: AR]

your best bet is either Countdown+caches, or Directives stacked up.
challening/heroic for best results, don't go lower.

[ebon parrot]

yo what is happening with new players?

[lone valve]

For anyone that needs this info
Division 2 is on sale for 70% till January 4th
On steam

[worldly sierra]

Fuck yeah

Div 2 is a great game recommend it

[worldly sierra]

What do you mean

[ebon parrot]

idk

they all play bad, like, real bad

it's like the 3rd countdown run i'm running and they all die, 3rd time in a row

[broken solstice]

yea i seen that a few times recently

[frozen meadow]

Qj

[broken solstice]

they rush at hunters in the beginning and go down

[last rock]

No wonder no carry

[kind veldt]

playing heroic or challenging?

[azure lintel]

Only time I seen a 13% was when I was checking a chinese cheater account like 2 years ago. He was SHD lvl 50k+ and all of his mods were 13% Protection from Elites. First time I ever seen that mod and he was running multiple

[broken solstice]

yeah they pop up in legendary i heard

[azure lintel]

Only play challenging Countdown. Don't even bother with heroic, it's not worth it.

I seen people getting TD2 + the expansion for 9 bucks during the pandemic. The base game was going for only 3 bucks for more than a year

I had to buy a the game at full price despite getting a digital code with my older graphics card back in 2019 back when RTX 2000 series was new. The code never worked and the company wouldn't help me. I got pretty much ripped off. I got the receive that still states that I got TD2 with my graphics card lol

I bought a RTX 4000 series not long ago, but that one didn't come with any free game. Only with some free subs for stuff that I don't use.

I'm trying to hit season rank 90 for the exotics. After that, I'll finish Assassin's Creed Mirage. That game just looks stunning and runs really well.

[small spear]

glad to see you're coming back strong

[azure lintel]

I've done a lot of legendary missions. Never seen one drop

[small spear]

they can pop up anywhere but they're just rare as heck

[azure lintel]

Yeah, I was very surprised how well the game runs now. Nobody ever crashing in Countdown anymore. You also find players much faster

[small spear]

glad to hear, the game really has improved a lot

[azure lintel]

Last time I played Countdown was a year ago and you would always see the same few chinese names and most would crash at the start and the rest would leave. It's so much better now

I don't know if the chinese players left or if they finally added regions to the game, but it's so much better. You barely encounter any cheater in PvE anymore

you can have fun conversations with randoms people who are much more chill. I've meat bunch of people telling me that they just got back into the game as well

I ditched my Heartbreaker build for much better and more fun builds. I found a build that is a million times better than Heartbreaker. It's a gear set that has been newly added and it's way more fun

[azure lintel]

It really has. I was surprised. No longer crashes, and there's way more players and good stuff to chase. I was quite lucky and got my St. Elmo after a couple Countdown runs

[lone valve]

The crashing really got reduced when this season launched from what I heard

Whatever they did it worked

[azure lintel]

Yeah you can play Countdown now. You always find lobbies within a couple seconds and nobody leaves mid-session anymore. I love the new gear they added

The community is also much more nicer now from what I experienced so far. You have always helpful people in each session. Everyone was joking around and helping each other out

[ivory pebble]

anyone having an issue with the GE, Day 3, Eliminate Named Hostiles. I completed mine, but my friend has been stuck on 9 of 15. Known issue?

[broken solstice]

maybe his GE isnt activated. sometimes if you do an incursion run and come back, you have to reactivate your global event

[ivory pebble]

if mine is activated and they are in my session, it still counts. Unless that changed in the last few days?

[broken solstice]

oh i see

no if theyre in your session its active

[ivory pebble]

Yea, it is strange. At first I just thought it was her being her. lol

[azure lintel]

Ok I’m on pc and I do not remember Aaron keener being this broken 😭😭😭

I soloed the whole game but I need help with this Mfer

[quasi verge]

Keep the pressureo n him and don't give him time to set up.

[azure lintel]

Been at this for 2 hours lmao

Used shotguns rifles close quarters long range guerrilla tactics smgs I even asked him to lay down and die nicely

[sterile ferry]

Use shock ammo, there's like 10 boxes in that mission

[azure lintel]

I was about to see who trying to run some co op 😂

That man is as strong as the Zeus boss fight on god of war 3

[ebon parrot]

wdym carry? i extracted always my self leaving them behind decesead lmao

i'm a tank player, the one playing full blue cores with pfe and armor regen, i am the main character, i'll get extracted regardless of my team so yeah

[sick thicket]

throw on booster hive

and stand in it when he goes to jam you. you wont get shocked and can instantly shoot him while he is

[last rock]

Just need someone to carry me through the story missions DLC smh

3 enemy with a shield just impossible

[last rock]

Lmao

[azure lintel]

I’ll help you tomorrow I’m just stuck at keener lol

[wise basalt]

i now get why so many chinese players in global chat sell boosting services

[quasi verge]

I looked at Chat once...

[flat pike]

i can help you with that (rn) im on my new agent give me 30-40 mins
(if you still need help)

[last rock]

Invite send thx

[last rock]

Is it legal?

[hybrid ore]

Very much no.

It's actually against the ToS

[last rock]

I mean in game

[stone quest]

Kinda annoying tho when I'm looking something up related to the division and boosting services show up on like the 3rd link

[hybrid ore]

@last rock Boosting services are against the ToS whether ingame or not.

[last rock]

I see

[neon wyvern]

Sounds like an easy way to get scammed too

[fluid meadow]

Damn still alive and well in d2? Thought they only existed in d1

[last rock]

D2 alot of player then d1

[stone quest]

I mean if a game is alive assume there is some form of scum playing it whether it's cheaters or boosters

[fluid meadow]

It's just crazy that i still get stutters in d1 purely because of a chinese message spam

[stone quest]

I have ran into a few cheaters on countdown weirdly

[last rock]

Oh yea the Chinese message on d1

[last rock]

U know what tht means?

[fluid meadow]

Enlighten me

[last rock]

[brisk saffron]

hey, not sure if this is the right place, but i really want to get back into td2 but havent played in a really long time (probably a month or two after warlords released was when i quit), there a TLDR on what i should do to farm gear etc. ? or some guide that will help me.

[hidden relic]

there's a build chart in #td2-build-advice

spreadsheet i mean

[brisk saffron]

honestly thats way too much info

im not sure what im looking for

like what do i do to get started etc

[hidden relic]

well finishing WONY is the first thing you should do getting back into it if you haven't already

[brisk saffron]

done that

unless there was added something to it post release

[hidden relic]

getting a build would be next then i guess, at least that's what i did after WONY

[brisk saffron]

like i remember having done all those hunts

[brisk saffron]

how do i approach this ?

[hidden relic]

Countdown is the best way to farm, there's 8 players so it doesn't make much of a difference if you can't output as much damage as long as you stick with them

there's also the more boring option of summit

[brisk saffron]

uh

whats countdown

[hidden relic]

basically you have to complete objectives within 15 minutes, there's 2 groups with 4 players each so there's a total of 8 players

[brisk saffron]

is that a matchmade activity ? i dont see it on map

also should i do legacy manhunts first ? it seems there was quite a few additions post jupiter

[hidden relic]

it's a matchmade activity yes, idk about legacy manhunts though

[brisk saffron]

ah theres just 1 countdown activity, yes ? the power plant

[hidden relic]

yup

[sudden anchor]

what to do in incursion

[hasty viper]

just got lady death, yeay or nay?

[neon wyvern]

mid

[sterile ferry]

pretty nay id say

[versed lily]

bought the game last night on steam, having a blast running about looting whatevers ;d

[summer crescent]

guys, any idea how to fix the hunt last step not being completable? it says that i have to talk to Cindy McAllister in castle settlement but when near her there is no option to talk to her

[kindred storm]

does anyone know if someone leaves mid incursion will it backfil if party is open

[low lily]

Yes

[opal radish]

Will not work after first phase cause them being labelled as boss fights have to manually invite sometimes

[pliant sentinel]

@opal radish i think u cursed me

i switch targeted loot to bag and theres so much 5.11 drops

[opal radish]

You are welcome

[pliant sentinel]

one dropped with adrenaline rush with max armor, hzd prot and headshot dmg

[proud locust]

Do you ever get the feeling we’re gonna have a Christmas surprise morning by the recruiter?

[serene elk]

Most legacy manhunts give you pretty niche skills/gear
The Lau fight gives you Achilles pulse which is nice to have for support but other than that I didn’t really think the others were very interesting

Story wise it’s nice to do but you only get the main boss

[hybrid ore]

To clarify, only the first 4 Manhunts give you Skills for completing them, the rest give you nothing but maybe a blueprint IIRC in one case.
(roosevelt/tidal/coney/white oak = skills)

[serene elk]

Power plant gives you Dr Home

[hybrid ore]

Well, you don't actually need to complete it to get Doctor Home for the first time IIRC
whilst the first 4 Manhunts are requiresd to get the skills.

[half moon]

Hello maybe I small weird question but I have a skin on my backpack and whenever I teleport to a mission or whatever the skin disappear, I have to change to another backpack and back to the one I use for it to show q_q
The backpack is memento I wonder if it's because of that

[serene elk]

Pretty sure you get the skills very early in tho

[hybrid ore]

Well, you get them during the mission itself not for actually completing them, but you do need to physically go in there to pick them up, and it's per character.

[serene elk]

POV : your momento forgets

[half moon]

fr 😭

[real moth]

The emp sticky is extremely good, especially for legendary

[serene elk]

Oh yeah I forgot about EMP

[real moth]

Great against warhounds and the marauders at roosevelt

[hybrid ore]

EMP sticky and Achilles are the "good ones", with the other 2 being....well they certainly exist.

If someone can find a legitimate meta use for Shrap Trap, I will give them a virtual highfive.

[weary oyster]

umm can someoene tell me about jack arnold what do I need to do to start the mission?

nvm

[keen osprey]

Just had a look at the images of the apparel coming to the Chinese version of the game. It looks quite cool

[hidden relic]

auuugh i've been doing each and every CP in challenging with 3 directives and im still not getting any weapon mods

[hybrid ore]

The good thing about the CP's loot pool is that it's both guaranteed and limited, so you will eventually 100% get everthing.

[hidden relic]

i can honestly care less about other blueprints i just want the weapon mods

[cedar flicker]

Why i cant open the door to take the first part of nemesis sniper on tidal basin. Maybe anyone knows

[hybrid ore]

Do you have the key from back in the barracks, and no Nemesis on that specific char/in your stash? You also can't do it on Story.

[cedar flicker]

I mean the door to the hovercraft

[hybrid ore]

Correct, to open the door and pick up the Adrestia, you need to follow all those steps.

[hidden relic]

glory daze is so fun to run, i got it to max stability and put as much accuracy mods as possible and now it's a laser

[cedar flicker]

The door on left near the way to the boss right?

[hybrid ore]

Yep; so run it on normal or higher, get the key, and have no nemesis or adrestia on that char or in your stash.
enjoy!

[solemn marsh]

returning player, never done an incursion before can i solo it on normal? (shd288)

[serene elk]

From what I hear it’s near impossible to solo

[opal radish]

Nope very hard

[hidden relic]

me and a friend tried to do it with a duo for the wright mask, got kicked hard

[pliant sentinel]

yeah flawless is painful

[full zinc]

Just to confirm. After doing all these cp3 have you visited the crafting bench and crafted the mods from the blueprints? It's not automatic.

[hidden relic]

i read the rewards and whenever i swing by a settlement or the BOO i go to the crafting bench to see if i have a new blueprint i missed reading

the game dumps me with armour blueprints when all i want is weapon mods

[hybrid ore]

You should also double-check that what you're looking for does actually come from a CP, because not every single weapon mod does.

[hidden relic]

i only have the weapon mods from side missions and a few more

so even if not all weapon mods get dropped from a CP, i should at least get a few

[hybrid ore]

You can check the sources at the Crafting Table when you click on an item, the right-hand menu lists where it's obtainable from.
Always worth double checking if there's an alternate source.

Although, the CP's are actually the best exp farm in the game right now (and Activities connected), so it's still worth farming them whether you get something you need or not.

[hidden relic]

i do know CPs aren't the only thing you could get weapon mods from, but doing projects is a pain in the arse so i thought im gonna start at CPs first then summit challenges then projects last

[hybrid ore]

They are boosting the rewards for Projects in February too, which is excellent timing.

[pliant sentinel]

the countdown damage buffs is insane

[broken solstice]

i went in with a red FI build with scorpio and perfect opportunistic the other day. i just wish i could see other ppls damage numbers

[devout girder]

The exotic pistol, to get the exotic parts for it, do you have to wait until reset after already running the the raid a couple times that week?

[violet flume]

yeh

[devout girder]

Damn

[tropic breach]

can i join my new friend to his game when he just recently bought the game and new york dlc with lv 31? or I can only be able to join him if he gets level 40?

[kind veldt]

you can join him

[sterile ferry]

you can join him anytime but he wont be able to join on you until he finishes the DLC at lvl 40

[inner mason]

Imma cry. FINALLY got my Gdddamn festive backpack with the rolls that I want

after farming daily for close to 7 hours

[broken solstice]

damn dude. im just waiting til they fix the thing so i can recalibrate the other crit i need onto it

[inner mason]

I got all kinds of rolls sitting in my stash for donation

[broken solstice]

yeah i saved like 14

[inner mason]

nah I got like 40 lol

deconstructed like a 100

don't have the stash space

any clue on when they're gonna fix the donation and recall bugs?

need to recall mine to a skill tier

[broken solstice]

i dont know when but its on the trello board under investigating or something

[naive cedar]

Quick question: Do the hunters scale with the global difficulty? E.g. when I attempt to get all hunters masks is it easier on normal than heroic?

[broken solstice]

yeah

[naive cedar]

thanks!

[hidden relic]

i hope when February comes, Massive fixes the Hunter masks and gives them balaclavas or at least give the old masks a beanie instead of a bandana

it takes away a little bit of menacing when i can see my character's cheeks through the eye holes

[brisk saffron]

i see, thanks

[inner mason]

I hate how all the apparel shows your neck. it just looks stupid and unappealing.

most if not all

[hidden relic]

well it's more reasonable in the summer days of td2

im fine with showing a bit of skin, even on the neck

i just want the Hunter masks to look more menacing like in the first game where it had a balaclava completely covering your neck and face

you can only see the eyes

[broken solstice]

ya best protect ya neck

[wet igloo]

I read the announcements today and saw something about a festive backpack?

[broken solstice]

you havent been doing the winter projects?

[wet igloo]

I probably missed them

[broken solstice]

not yet i think

theyre easy and fast. bang em all out real quick and complete one control point to get the backpack. from thereafter, the loot goblin can drop the backpack

[wet igloo]

whats the project called?

[broken solstice]

winter project. or daily winter project. you'll have em all waiting

itll only show you one at a time tho

[wet igloo]

kk

ill check it out after

[broken solstice]

theres youtubes that show you how to do each one if you dont wanna solve the little hints that it gives you and take more time

[wet igloo]

might do that just in case

[inner mason]

what announcements?

[wet igloo]

fixing something about the festive backpack

#news-and-announcements

[inner mason]

this has already been fixed

are there any other news

[broken solstice]

what? the grenading yourself is fixed? or the recal thing

[inner mason]

the grenading yourself one

[broken solstice]

oh yeah thats over

[glossy edge]

Finally bought the dlc

Now time to grind for days

[inner mason]

just saw the Chinese version of the game and why don't we get the same stuff they get?

is there like a contractual reason for it?

[kind veldt]

y/n

china has some very specific things regarding how their games need to be regulated

so they get their own version of games

[modest lintel]

in the name of censorship.....called "specific things"

[fluid meadow]

Their version is more "P2W" than grind

[kind veldt]

COD online is a famous example of that, it was based on MW2 cod bug highly modified to have maps from previous CODs, lots of cosmedic and so on

mostly paid of course

for example they need to have features that limit players gaming time

so lots of features that would be long in a game are shortened/cut made into a paid content and so on

[keen osprey]

100% the exc producer on the Division even said so. New business model of free to play and players able to get content easier. Rewarding players for staying online for up to 60 minutes (to appease restrictions on addiction)

[modest lintel]

money talk especially in china

[kind veldt]

it's a very weird and different situation

[broken solstice]

china pretty much bought africa lol

[keen osprey]

Main reason from what was said on twitter is that the Division we play is still developed for old gen consoles and that the apparel designed for the Chinese version is pc only which means they can make the textures higher and more detailed.

As far as game content is concerned we have still got the better title

They currently only have access to season one manhunt Jupiter and its associated newly updated season track.

[fluid meadow]

Weird how they don't have an anime apparel as I'm pretty sure many would buy the fuck out of it

[keen osprey]

Plus no Eagle bearer in the raid. The reward is a more powerful bullet king.

Damage to Elites is still in that build too.

No expertise.

All gear pieces have a 3rd secondary attribute.

[keen osprey]

Give it time lol

[kind veldt]

something something girls frontline collab

i'm pretty some people know what i am talking about

[keen osprey]

😩 they did a Division 1 x front line back when countdown was releasing iicrc

So give it time lol

[inner mason]

man that sound appealing ngl

the third attribute on gear

you'd be able to stack hazpro with a meta build lol

[fluid meadow]

I saw that weapon has 5 fucking attributes lmao

[inner mason]

bro they're not giving a fuck it seems

[keen osprey]

Somethings telling me though that they dont yet have game designers cuz that Exotic still has a placeholder icon

And it's overpowered as hell

https://youtu.be/SxGgpi2lyKE?si=Q4e3jbMMUyCaQDWC

[inner mason]

in a way that, to me, says they're looking for a "fun" time in the game and not a "long" one

[keen osprey]

That link shows u it working in the shooting range ^

[fluid meadow]

100% paid not free

[inner mason]

I saw that exotic and holy hell it's insane

[keen osprey]

Almost like we want this too, no?

Looking specifically at expertise here. Must be why they're reducing the cost lol

[inner mason]

yeah I hate the philosophy of the devs. they're afraid that the player can be strong so they've been nerfing everything to oblivion since release

[keen osprey]

I genuinely feel sorry for the Massive team because people aren't going to understand that both games operate independently from one another and anytime that the Chinese version releases something new it'll be like "but what about us".

[inner mason]

that's on them imo

if the playerbase here likes the content over there it means something's missing in the sauce

[keen osprey]

Time to kill seems to be alot lower looking at streams of the game on "Bilibili"

[inner mason]

just looked at the vid and that backpack looks cool

as it should be. I'm trying to have fun and not run a full red build to be able to kill NPCs

[keen osprey]

It's all apparel though really, i wouldn't trade that version for the global under any circumstance.

They've removed any reference to America.

True patriot gear set on there has a different icon because it used the US flag.

[inner mason]

on release skills sucked ass and you couldn't tank so the only way to play was a red build

[keen osprey]

Aaron keener is now called Alan keener.

[inner mason]

lol

I was watching Roguegold's video on the new SMG and it seems that they have a different system of leveling compared to us

[keen osprey]

Faction names seem to sound like some sort of Chinese gangs lol

[inner mason]

so not just apparel

[keen osprey]

They appear have an iteration of what we're getting with the endgame rework. Allowing players to get what they want in a timely manner. More tutorial, linear progression. I believe they also simplified the icons for materials and their uses.

[inner mason]

rn I want the third attribute on gear lol

I imagine gear sets have two

that'd be a game changer right there

you can make soooo many builds better with this

you can stack weapon handling alongside chc and chd

[keen osprey]

Gear sets like strikers also have 3. There is no restriction.

[inner mason]

fucking hell that sound awesome

literally going for fun here

[keen osprey]

I don't have the link now as I looked thru so many but I seen a video of the bullet King on darkhours and it was just a power machine.

[inner mason]

that makes gear sets the best way to make you build

[keen osprey]

It's almost like they thought "fck it, despite our laws - let them have fun"

[inner mason]

like imagine if we had gear sets the same way and have two attributes. you'd fit into a roll much better with a gearset like in Div1 but you also can go for highend builds

[keen osprey]

Also makes build variety more interesting. 2 crits and armour regen or status, haste and damage all in one piece instead of constantly having to sacrifice something.

We can dream.

[inner mason]

don't get me started on that shit. making hybrid builds is a nightmare

[keen osprey]

Still not a fan of moving to the PRC tho

[inner mason]

just got done making my new PVP build with the festive backpack after farming for hours on end and want to test it out

what's PRC?

[keen osprey]

China

[inner mason]

Why'd you want to move there?

[keen osprey]

Atleast now that self grenading issue is gone

[keen osprey]

Because of the censored build lol

[inner mason]

yeah I didn't like that really

ah ok lol

how much censorship are we talking about?

[keen osprey]

But nah I'm only joking. It has Summit as the only game mode at the moment. Basically anything pre February 2020.

[inner mason]

I'm trying to imagine what the game would look like if we had what they have

[keen osprey]

I'm not entirely sure without studying the collectibles, storyline etc but there is no mention of the game being set in the US. I'm going to assume that means all sign posting and number plates on cars was removed or edited. New fictional names for the streets. Coms edited to remove mention of NYC or dc.

No skulls or blood.

[inner mason]

like everyone just builds their setup with 3 attributes on gear in mind

[inner mason]

that's ok for me really cause I stopped caring about the story at the end of WONY with Keener's death

just give me fun gear to use and let me mix and match stuff to test in the DZ

that's how I spend my time in the game. I theory craft a build, get the pieces and try it out in DZ.

the cost reduction on mats is welcome

[molten spire]

an emptied wallet and buyer's remorse

oh and you would have to deal with the absolute worst players the PRC has to offer 24/7

[molten spire]

The maps and characters are unchanged, but DC is now the "District of Augustus" and New York City "New Albany" https://td2.qq.com/cp/a20230815strategystation/detail.html?docid=17681475517171013491

Hello

[mossy wigeon]

Can you open incursion box more then once a week?

[meager thicket]

game crashing after 30 mins~ PC since latest win10 upda?

[signal turret]

think it's servers in general

game keeps crashing

[meager thicket]

hw temps and % all fine but my game is just breaking

yea game just closes

[timber hatch]

no

per character anyways. You can get 4 keys, one per character

[unreal jolt]

Is there a magical hidden button to open all caches at once?

[buoyant scarab]

That would imply ubisoft cares about quality of life

They do not

[last rock]

Some controls r hidden in the damn game

[alpine vault]

Do you still have to do the summit challanges to get capacitor for the first time?

[solid chasm]

sad world

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, Raucey, Rakey

[solid chasm]

Anybody know how to get the new exotic assault rifle? Haven’t played in 2 years

[pliant sentinel]

st elmos?

[solid chasm]

Yes

[pliant sentinel]

countdown -> ar targeted loot

[solid chasm]

Ty

[pliant sentinel]

all else fails use the cd credits to buy exotic caches

[solid chasm]

Okay thank you man

[pliant sentinel]

wont take u long tbh, ive seen so much elmo drops in cd

[solid chasm]

Best way to level up aswell?

[pliant sentinel]

best way to lvl up shd? 4/5 directives CP

[pliant sentinel]

(for me personally, idk if theres a better quicker farm out there)

[solid chasm]

Leggie summit?

Is anyone having issue to have a backpack skin stay on the memento backpack? TT - TT

[zinc shadow]

that's actually funny lmao

[bright karma]

Looking for a active clan on playstation. Just started division 2 on ps5.

[lone valve]

#td2-clan-recruitment

[thick zephyr]

Suddenly seeing stuff about Chinese division on reddit.
What gives?did the developers do this or mods?

[rare vapor]

they get all the coolest game modes and flashiest rewards, but you can only play with your wallets.

[molten spire]

spinoff run by Tencent

they have new gun skins and cosmetics so the OOOH SHINY types who never actually buy them are attempting to karmafarm

[thick zephyr]

Ah ok, thought another region was getting new content

[molten spire]

they have new content, just wrapped around a gameplay loop that would be near instantly rejected by most players who live outside of the PRC

free to play, artificial barrier to progress and highly aggressive in trying to extract your hard earned yuan

[quasi verge]

Bit ironic isn't it. For a communist country.

[rare vapor]

woh woh

[molten spire]

the ruling class is completely entitled to share what the workers reap among... their fellow elite :^)

[rare vapor]

and most of the games that exist there are pay to win anyways, it's a culture, nothing special about that.

[molten spire]

this is also why I'm not really hyped for the various out-of-nowhere games being launched by Chinese studios and publishers best known for PRC market MMOs or literally nothing beforehand

[quasi verge]

Naturally I don't mean just their version of D2. I mean the entire pay to win structure in general.

[low lily]

We should have legendary dark hours tho

[rare vapor]

the rich are shelling out tens of thousands of yuan per week in their selective games because money is worthless when comparing to time and ego, i mean if you pay alot, you can boost your character to insane levels that one shot noob players for millions. it's a cultural mindset thing.

[lone valve]

Although tbf apparently their white house gets decorated for Halloween and Christmas
One thing I'd like in the main game tbf

But yea the game is f2p there and full of aggressive p2w stuff so

[zinc shadow]

it's probably called the Ivory House or some shit

[lone valve]

Ivory house that has ivory keys🤔

[thick zephyr]

Whats the name of this Chinese game?

[lone valve]

I doubt it has the same name

I don't recall if the name is different

[molten spire]

it actually has the same name as the Taiwan Chinese version, except now it's the "national server"

oh and in Simplified Chinese characters of course

[steady shoal]

Why is Darpa a F.CKING NIGHTMARE?

[molten spire]

because if you don't shut down the turrets fast you have to deal with those, the BT guys, the mortars and Brenner oneshotting your armor all at the same time

[full zinc]

yes, 5 iirc

[solid chasm]

Pretty disappointed that i have to make a new character just to have gear score

[quasi verge]

What do you need Gear Score for?

[full zinc]

shoulda never went to NY then ig

if you make your way to the whitehouse and use esc> store> addons> boost you have an option to stay in dc with max gearscore

[solid chasm]

Can i use it on another character or no?

[full zinc]

infinite times

[solid chasm]

Oh man finna do that then

[cinder crown]

Wonder what's up with Incursion now
cuz I remember Countdown being a thing and I thought that was meant to be the new challenge mode at the time
Descent feels like the most "whatever, have fun" thing they added with no incentive

[solid chasm]

I just want gear score i haven’t played since 2022 last time i played once you finish ny dlc you got gear score after tidal

[quasi verge]

Gear score's not a thing any more past whatever level it is. End game uses it not at all.

[full zinc]

30 has no gear score

[solid chasm]

So it’s just level 40?

[quasi verge]

There you go, past 30.

[solid chasm]

Im just so confused

Cause gear score was still a thing even after reaching lvl 40

[quasi verge]

It's all changed.

[full zinc]

yeah the gearscore drops and level 40 is max... once you beat keener you get an shd watch which is the after 40 continued progression

[solid chasm]

Maaan

Basically the shd watch is the new gear score now

[quasi verge]

You level up past gear scroe and world tiers and then 31 to 40 and once you get to 40 it's all SHD level.

[full zinc]

some do like keeping a level 30 agent for farming exotic components from low pop DZ tho

[solid chasm]

Yeah just gonna go back on my other character then lol

Cause if its just shd levels that matter ima just grind out shd

[quasi verge]

They tried a lot of things to make further leveling interesting. Some of them didn't really work much.

[full zinc]

one thing youll find useful later on.. when you get shd up a bit, say 1500 or so you can run another agent through wony and get a fresh 1500shd watch (or whatever shd you are at the time)

its a way of doubling up your resources

[solid chasm]

Shit i did not know that

Thanks for the tip

[full zinc]

but yeah, grinding shd atm will be best bet. you get increases to a bunch of different attributes from your watch

not huge, but difference makers none the less

[solid chasm]

Any idea how the new assault rifle drops is it count down or descent?

[full zinc]

countdown for farming gear/weapons

[solid chasm]

I just want the new assault rifle cant find any raids for ih

[full zinc]

new assault rifle , elmo exotic drops anywhere ar is target loot. countdown and summit both have selectable target loot

[twilit quiver]

ravenous can be acquired in DZ right?

[full zinc]

very rare but yes

much higher chance in ih raid though

[twilit quiver]

no prob i have 3 of them .. i just got back .. i just saw new content like incursion and new exotics thats why i went back

[shrewd cosmos]

Did I miss out on scavenger hunts?

I donated food but can't do second one

[quasi verge]

Should be able to do them up until January 9th I believe.

Make sure you have enough food to do the donations and then hunt around a bit for the various items.

[shrewd cosmos]

I went to the spot for the supply stash and there is no prompt coming up for me to obtain and donate it

[quasi verge]

hmmm.... You might be in the right spot, but are you interacting with the right object?

[shrewd cosmos]

Yes, I think so. I watched a video. Big Christmas tree south of White House. Teddy Bear is sitting on the Santa chair next to big Xmas tree but the box to the left of the teddy bear won't let me loot it for the supply stash that needs to be donated

[quasi verge]

The second one does not involve the tree or teddy bear.

That's a much later scavenger item.

[shrewd cosmos]

Ooooh ok thank you

[quasi verge]

Make sure you read the scavenger hints carefully. You will run into some tricky ones.

Good news is, you're close to the second one, but it's a bit up and down and round and round to get to it.

[last rock]

Hello chatttt

[tired granite]

I am heading gunfire in the loading screen 🤣🤣🤣

[tropic breach]

this overnight winter projects are bs af

i efin died and came back they gone.

[quasi verge]

So, just like every other event then?

[placid shadow]

Guys, i cant spawn Cole boss to drop the project component, any help?
he is not spawning for me even after world tier change and logout

[kind veldt]

check if there's an activity right next to him

all night bosses only spawned if there was an activity near their spawn

[placid shadow]

yea, it was a propaganda

[tired granite]

Got to clear the area 1st

[hybrid ore]

Make sure you are only travelling to the nearby safehouse after 21:00 and before 05:00, reset the map (if that's a thing on World Tiers, honestly can't remember) and you don't need to clear out anything first.

The way I did it was I completed a nearby bounty then wandered over at about 21:45, he was there having a fight with the faction that was running the Propaganda.

[quasi verge]

He seems to turn up best after about 22:00.

Clearing the nearby event during the day may help somewhat, but you should definitely be out of the immediate area before nightfall.

[hybrid ore]

Safe House > Wait until whenever > walk to spot then (make sure map has been reset) is the method that when I actually followed it, they've all been done the first time (except for the 1st, but that was before the method)

[quasi verge]

Worth noting: He doesn't start at the event. He starts out down a little side area nearby. It's a little gated area with a forklift in it. So, basically he spawns there and then makes his way to the event. I suppose, if you come up and clear the event too quickly, he might never get started.

Or you could just miss him if you move through too fast.

[hybrid ore]

True true.
Hopefully next year it's a mode you turn on or something.

[quasi verge]

Do they add new stuff to it each year or is it just the same year after year?

[kind veldt]

they added usually just one item

[quasi verge]

What was the new one this year?

[kind veldt]

backpack and few cosmedics

this one they gave a bit more

[quasi verge]

Cool

[kind veldt]

backpack is very if silly

dumb question to folks who are here

should granades effects scale with blue or yellow cores?

[quasi verge]

Can you clarify your question? Do you mean should they scale in general? Or should they scale with one kind of core or the other? And do you include specialization grenades in your question or just the grenades everyone gets?

[hybrid ore]

I think it's just "explosives damage" and neither blue or yellow cores.

As for if they should, then yeah yellow would be nice.

[kind veldt]

yes if they should

[placid shadow]

i did it like that and he didnt appear

[kind veldt]

well cause no amount of explosive damage % possible makes granades worthwhile

[astral jacinth]

I didn't know control points give exotic components. when did this start happaning?

[kind veldt]

couple of months ago

small chance, like 2 or 5%

[storm scaffold]

Has to be at night 21:00-05:00

[hybrid ore]

Sledgehammer + Striker is one of the strongest boss burns that we have.

although personally, Mad Bomber is a talent I like running over Oblit.

[astral jacinth]

did named elites get even more status effect resistance too?

or signature weapon damage resistance

[vernal cove]

Im having a lot of issues finding the ugly green sweater boss

I keep going to the spot but hes not there

[placid shadow]

yes, i did it in that time

[bright canyon]

new player into endgame just hit lvl40 anyone can give me tips on what to do im completly lost i played one countdown and failed at it

[quasi verge]

Play until you succeed. Check inventory and upgrade your gear as you go.

[hardy dome]

did they fuck with lt. gray nego? only transfering 34 mil to boss, whilst shielders are taking a billion

[kind veldt]

nameds always had more resistance ever since WONY and legendary missions were added

[kind veldt]

but that is sledghammer + striker being valuable not granades

same way that hollow points is valuable for OD not the bleed

not sure if my point made much sense

[hybrid ore]

You need some conditioner for all those split hairs.

[kind veldt]

the usefulness in granades comes from other things being able to proc from it like sledgehammer not by them being valuable by themselves

[hybrid ore]

Grenades, not granades.
okay go on.

[kind veldt]

like bleed is not a good status effect in many cases but it's useful to proc tlaents

gah typo

[hybrid ore]

You don't have to use the bleed nades. Most of the time with Mad Bomber I'm using the fire ones, or even foam.

[kind veldt]

literally mixing a bit of two languages in my brain, sorry about that

[quasi verge]

We all knew what you meant. Carry on.

[hybrid ore]

To be clear: I'm not saying that 'nades themselves are actually good at being your main use, but just that they have usage cases when combined with other things, that Explosive Damage can help with them, and that Sledgehammer is a good combination.

[kind veldt]

i'm not really sure what you meant here, my point is not really about frags and bleeds, i just wanted to use bleed and burn relation of one just being better than the other to nades and explosive skills

i'm not denying that sledgehammer is a good use, but comes from sledgehammer being the good part no the nades

i think if nades by themselves scalled with something else they could see more use

because even with talents like mad bomber and collector that are meant to make you use them as killing tools or improve their general use, they still lack behind in basic stats of damage to really be relevant

[hybrid ore]

You can stop typing this out if you want to save some time. I've already given my answer to this.

[hybrid ore]

^

[kind veldt]

maybe is late but i really dont understand your point

yeah i'm talking their basic use is so poor that it should scale of something else, explosive damage is also useful for other stronger things so you cant just slap explosive daamge in more gear pieces without also possibly making other stuff busted

[manic yoke]

is there a "shadowban" in the game ?
cause in the DZ, even if there is 100 000 people playing, i still play Against the same 15-20 peoples
i feel that strange... and NO, i do not use any 3rd party / hacks or other software like that, i play 100% legal

[kind veldt]

never heard of any shadowban

[astral jacinth]

did they buffed their resistances this year?

[kind veldt]

no long ago

[hybrid ore]

Nope, there's playing or not playing. At least from what we've seen over the years.
div2 is location based of a sort, so you're more likely to play with a similar group of people.

VPN's exist, but if you do use one just get a proper paid one and be slightly wary anyway.

[manic yoke]

thanks for the info, cause in CoD i get thing like that, false reports

[deft cliff]

Its because of region and matchmaking of your stats I think

[quiet bramble]

Okay so weird question, how do I tell if I'm lvl 40 or not???

And before you say, look at your menu, I am

[hybrid ore]

Do you see something that says "SHD" and can you access the Season Pass? If so, you are Lvl 40.
To be Lvl 40, you need to have finished the WONY (dlc) campaign on that specific character.

[quiet bramble]

No I do t, however I haven't started wony, yet, just in the process of trying to make a build that will get me through new york

[hybrid ore]

Once you enter NYC, you go to Lvl 31 and all your previous gear (except for Exotics, those can be levelled up later) become worthless.

Just start.

[quiet bramble]

Ty sir o7

[quasi verge]

Not worthless so much as quickly replaced by better gear.

[hybrid ore]

ma'am, thanks.
although for story's sake, do Coney Island first, it ties directly into the start of WONY.

[quiet bramble]

So less then worthless but more then useless????

[hybrid ore]

Every single thing that isn't Lvl 40 you won't need later, 100%.

div2 only really "starts" at Lvl 40.

Although good news, Lvl 40 is also the cap.

[quasi verge]

The thing is, up to forty you will churn gear so fast that builds aren't really relevant.

[rare vapor]

if you are being boosted, you wont even need loot until 40

[quasi verge]

A decent rule of thumb, if you aren't learning things from zero like I was, is to wear whatever you have that has red cores and high armor.

[quiet bramble]

Lol, when you are able to be taken down by a pistol, you'll think different fiddleback

[hybrid ore]

Everyone here has gone through the 31-40 process, often multiple times, some people have done it literally dozens of times to farm out extra materials (ask again later, no spoilers)

[quiet bramble]

Lol, good story I hope????

[quasi verge]

No, I doubt I will. Because that situation never arose. I had trouble in exactly three spots in NY and that was only from not knowing the boss fights.

[rare vapor]

wut story

[hybrid ore]

It's short but fun.

[quiet bramble]

Oh fuuuuu, my boss fights

[hybrid ore]

you get to metaphorically punch Keener, which is never a bad thing.

[quiet bramble]

Ny

Lol, nvr

Here we go, ny bound......

[manic yoke]

i saw someone with 200 000 shd, i am only 4849
i saw someone with 98% headshot %, aint vs my 5-7% for me

[serene elk]

I accidentally found a way to skip half the story in NY by going to the safe houses before doing the manhunt mission when I did my first ever run through

Made it so I had to do a little extra in NYC before 40

[dense saffron]

I accidentally killed myself using my oxi darn it

[mighty shell]

We have all done that 😄

[dense saffron]

It was embarrassing

[manic yoke]

specially in hardcore 🙂

[dense saffron]

Well there goes your character

[hidden relic]

Keener is awesome, i would never want to punch Keener

[dapper atlas]

#KeenerDidNothingWrong #TeamKeener

[fluid meadow]

Mfw when keener commits chemical warfare:

[hidden relic]

and what government is there left to enforce the rules of war

[fluid meadow]

You need someone to enforce you to not use chemical warfare?

I guess that's what happens when the end justifies the means

[hidden relic]

it's a time of lawlessness and warfare, of course chemical warfare is gruesome and shouldn't be normalised but it's not too far fetched neither

we literally have a faction that sterilises people alive lol

[elfin hazel]

I mean all of europe basically

quite a bit of asia

[stone quest]

do they mention that only NA get affected by green poison?

[elfin hazel]

everywhere got affected its just that the US is the most effected

basically everywhere else bounced back in some form or at least didn't completely collapse like the states

[hidden relic]

i mean fair but does Europe like

wanna dip their fingers into the US the way it is now lol

[elfin hazel]

they probably could if they wanted to

[hidden relic]

well im not asking if they could, im asking if they would want to

[elfin hazel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

given how the US has no political structure atm and that they seem to have fared the best out of all the langely reports(excluding africa) it could be worth it due to the amount of natural resources still to be had in the states

[hidden relic]

i think more than anything it would be too costly an endeavour for Europe

[pliant sentinel]

how does the specific wpn dmg on brand sets work

[neon wyvern]

15% ar damage + 10% ar damage = 25% ar damage

[pliant sentinel]

bruh 😂

[fluid meadow]

Sounds like free real estate

[neon wyvern]

[pliant sentinel]

dont it decreases if u put it on a full red build

or am i tripping

[fluid meadow]

It does

[real creek]

10% on top of 90% doesn't net you 10% total damage.

[neon wyvern]

It's less valuable if you already have alot of damage cuz diminishing returns

[fluid meadow]

Since it adds with AWD

[elfin hazel]

it'd be costly but the amount of natural resources or just the great plains alone could make up for it

[pliant sentinel]

so at how many red cores should i have to get the full fenris/heartbreaker ar bonus

[fluid meadow]

Almost all blue

But even at that you have the watch weapon damage and the weapon core attribute weapon damage

So it's always not full bonus

[pliant sentinel]

👍 thanks

[fluid meadow]

The way you go blues to benefit most from the brands is a pvp move not a pve one

[pliant sentinel]

nah im just curious, since i didnt know there was DR until rivens told me the other day

[tropic breach]

Are we able to play alternatively 2 different ubisoft connect accounts in 1 steam account? (My reason is, I wanted to help my duo’s new character get boosted.) is it possible to just use his ubisoft account then use my steam account?

[thorny talon]

no u cant

its 1-1

[toxic flume]

Are we getting another PTS soon?

[real creek]

Mid January. It was in the stuff they released.

[toxic flume]

I had a brain fart.

You right. Jan 18-22

[real creek]

Bro I live as brain flatulence...

[grand perch]

theres a pts roadmap with dates somewhere

[crude plume]

delta-03 error, nice

[sick thicket]

Was recently thinking about how it would be cool if we were able to choose which side we wanted to be on

[hidden relic]

i said it before and i'll say it again, want to be a rogue agent and hear ANNA

[sick thicket]

I guess you do in the dark zone, but more so an alliance or something like that

[hidden relic]

less grating to my ears

[coarse lagoon]

Did this channel change or something?

How come I can’t see a single vc channel ?

[sick thicket]

I wanna fight for the bad guys

[hidden relic]

same

[low lily]

Go in dz then

[hidden relic]

pvp sucks

[sick thicket]

I pvp a lot, im saying in the story line like fable 3 or something along the lines of that

Where keener is trying to convince you that the division is lying to you

A good or bad option would be crazy

[subtle flume]

hey i'm a german lvl 4 player if someone wants to play together just dm me 😄

[fair lake]

Launching poisonous missile to wipe the whole city at the same time

[steady shoal]

How does the watch work? Do I have a maximum of 50 points per node or I can max out every single stat?

Like can I get to 50 both crit chance and weapong damage?

[azure lintel]

anybody can help me get regulus? we'll do pistol loot in summit till you get it... i'll will also set loot to your desired loot ... please help

[sterile ferry]

You can max out all nodes (takes 999 watch level)

[kind veldt]

Raid project only

[azure lintel]

cant get from summit?

[kind veldt]

Nope

Need to do a project exclusive to raid iron horse

[vernal lion]

So how hard is legendary really and what difficulty do i gotta matchmake at to get teamates.

[keen osprey]

It was a ubisoft decision to retire them based on the inability to moderate the contents of each vc.

Meanwhile, siege discord still has them...

[keen osprey]

The difficulty of Legendary missions is purely based on the enemies and their total armour, damage output and slew of tech they throw at you doing immense amounts of damage.

District union arena is your best one to try first as it's less difficult than the others.

[steady shoal]

Jeez is gonna be a long long way

Still on lvl 17 lol

[keen osprey]

Rome wasn't built in a day 🙂

[full zinc]

Just depends on how you grind the xp.
Control points, executions, and propaganda offer the best xp/hr.
Challenging or higher on difficulty
Add directives you can manage.
I've seen people grind out their 1000shd in a couple days just focusing on heroic control points.

[dreamy topaz]

Hi i need help. Im at the Castle to meet Mel Arnold but i cant interact with him nor is my mission completed

[twilit quiver]

hard to find party at incursion

[molten spire]

check in the LFG channels here instead

[buoyant thistle]

had this same issue for weeks now myself, would be nice to get a fix

[dreamy topaz]

If it stays like this, then we cant complete the manhunt. It says "discovery available " im at the location on the castle. I see him but cant interact with him nor completing the mission

[buoyant thistle]

Yeah i get the same thing. You can reset the entire manhunt but you have to complete it all over again and there's the chance of it just bugging out again

The funny thing is, when i did it the first time i could speak to him, it just never counted toward the mission

[dreamy topaz]

You only have to complete the bounty missions again for the people. Not the investigations

[buoyant thistle]

oh that's something at least

[dreamy topaz]

I guess I'll try that out. Probably wont do anything

[buoyant thistle]

yeah same, already tried it over with another person

is the Regulus still locked to raids?

[real creek]

Yus

Iron horse crafting project.

[buoyant thistle]

=/ been struggling to get in to any raids

joined 4 matchmaking groups only to be locked out because they are already fighting the boss

[real creek]

If you'd like I can DM you some lfg discords that you could use.

[buoyant thistle]

sure , is this discord not so easy to find lfg?

[verbal quartz]

hi is there anything to do i am stuck at 8 loadout but other say its more than 8 loadouts ???

[real creek]

You need to do raids on normal and cannot matchmake them btw.

[buoyant thistle]

ah okay

[real creek]

No vc here so most don't even glance at the LFG channels.

[buoyant thistle]

ah i see

[real creek]

Since you'll end up going else where for chat might as well just do it all somewhere else ya know.

[buoyant thistle]

Yeah that's fair 🙂

[twilit quiver]

can ouroboros be acquired other than incursion?

[violet flume]

nope

[twilit quiver]

seems its same as raid

[violet flume]

well eagle and ravenous can be found in the dz, but you got a better chance to get them in the raid

[real creek]

Just give me a few cause it's much easier to do on PC.

[buoyant thistle]

Take your time 🙂

[twilit quiver]

really have no luck in randoms in incursion very hard to coordinate

[buoyant thistle]

Yeah I just wana find a group, do as I'm told and do my best ! Haha I'm a good little dps

[twilit quiver]

managed to reach till after the oil tanker

bec the next part needs coordination

[broken solstice]

everyone should be required to watch a guide before trying to get into an incursion group. learn which valve puts water where. learn the mechanic of making wright stop to take a swing at you while he's standing on a white square. its so simple. learn the cycle of wright blowing up the room and then taking care of ads. learn that if you're the one who turns the valve, you're the one hes going to chase next. etc. know how to kite the guy and not get hit when he swings

a lot of times the problem is theres no one manning the valves

[steady shoal]

Yeah I'm doing executions and propaganda if I have them on he map. Sometimes I have multiple, sometimes I have none

[full zinc]

The area north of tidal is loaded with that stuff 👍

[broken solstice]

if you reset control points evrery so often you'll repopulate the map with those activities and ideally a bunch of public executions in the same area

[twilit quiver]

You arr right and it needs proper coordination just like IH and DH...

[prisma beacon]

ugh strikers is in dz today

[thorny talon]

New manhunt tomorrow?

[thorny talon]

🤓☝️

[glossy edge]

Who wouldve knew i wouldve liked using the vector so much🤔

[prisma beacon]

i think im gonna pass on farming strikers today

[prisma beacon]

rpm is divine

[glossy edge]

Fr

[broken solstice]

not worth it in the dz. dz is almost always terrible rolls on gear

[glossy edge]

Finally found sum to pair w my ar

[lone valve]

26th

[prisma beacon]

im on a new char new acct, i used to play div1, im a coward so my first set was foundry

i just a really decent roll momento and im going to build strikers around that

[broken solstice]

can you do countdown? thats the way to farm. especially if you dont have much gear yet

[prisma beacon]

i dont even know what countdown is brother

tldr

[broken solstice]

oh alright

[prisma beacon]

i just jumped in and started shooting

[broken solstice]

yeah theres a lot more to this game than that. but good way to start

[prisma beacon]

i can clear alert 3 checkpoints now so i dont think im too scuffed

[broken solstice]

good good

[prisma beacon]

i just gotta get rid of this foundry now, it feels like training wheels

[molten spire]

that's a good sign

[broken solstice]

yeah rly

[prisma beacon]

i used my first picaro's for extraction and now realize the value of it, who wants to laugh at me

[sharp cedar]

@everyone hope you all have a happy and enjoyable Christmas

[broken solstice]

🎅

[lean solar]

How to interact with the mission 'return to haven'?

[timber hatch]

There's really not that much value tbh, it's not a big deal

[prisma beacon]

brother, you as well

[inner copper]

[subtle flume]

does anyone want to play with me i'm lvl 4 and from germany pls dm me

[lethal halo]

I just looked at my Xbox year review.. apparently I have over 276 hours on TD2

[thorny talon]

🌱

[serene elk]

Return to Haven

Simple

[tawny fable]

me when i have hundreds of hours on monster hunter

[tropic breach]

wth happened to view point museum? Im stuck in "Gain entrance view point" no doors opening.

[lean solar]

she is stuck in the wall

[azure lintel]

Happy holidays everybody!!!

[real moth]

You have to interact with the doors in the invaded version of the mission. They won't open by themselves

[tropic breach]

I cant interact it tho.

OMG the warhound is stuck inside the hole geez i saw it now

[real moth]

Try oxidizing him if you can't shoot him

[supple seal]

does the game keep taking you guys offline?

trying to do the last bounty for one of the manhunts and i was close to the end and it took me offline for some reason?

[warm quartz]

Happy Xmas to everyone,

So I play alot of countdown and the game is pretty stable for me. But every time the final mission is reactor it crashes just after the final mission is completed. Does anyone have the same issue?

[sterile ferry]

happens when you loot the yellow crate at the end, has a chance of crashing

[warm quartz]

So just not loot the crate?

[vale rune]

Merry Christmas, on tuesday 26.12. we Will complete the manhunt:).

[serene elk]

happens to group leader most often too 🫠

[deft cliff]

One thing I wished Ubi did was to add snow on the maps when winter season was upon us but I guess in the game lore it wouldn’t make sense

[austere thunder]

Well its good to see the game being worked on multiple fronts such as new content and health status.

[strong burrow]

hey I got as question. The new settlement had a mission for it right? Are we supposed to rebuild it or something? I had a blue marker leading to it, but nothing happens when I get there

[sterile ferry]

are you lvl 40?

[strong burrow]

yes

Okay so when I logged back in (Its been ages since I played D2 mind you), I got this way point to that place

now when I get there its like I cant do anythng. Well... thats not completely true. I can do that thing the one lady gives me. The one where you dont use your own gear.

[serene elk]

is the mission return to the settlement?

[strong burrow]

I believe so

[serene elk]

when you enter its in the public space

the objective

[strong burrow]

yeah I think its bugged. Not getting anything

[serene elk]

eh?

[strong burrow]

am I supposed to be doing something in this place now?

[serene elk]

there's a laptop

if that's not the mission then idk

[strong burrow]

There was two laptops and I interacted with both of them. Nothing happened

[serene elk]

then idk

[strong burrow]

Great another halfbaked thing from Ubisoft. Why am I not surprised

[serene elk]

oh I'm thinking of Castle

but you're in Haven right

[strong burrow]

No I was talking about the castle

[serene elk]

then urh

[neon wyvern]

those laptops spawn a hunter

If you find the third one

[strong burrow]

so I have to find the laptop?

[neon wyvern]

Yea go find it

[strong burrow]

its in the castle settlement? Also are we supposed to be rebuulding the castle, because it seems pretty absent of anyone

[neon wyvern]

That's what the last few seasons have been I think

we got mortars as a final upgrade last manhunt

[strong burrow]

ah gotcha. Last time I played was summit missions. So its been that long

mortors? I see them, but I cant interact with them though

[neon wyvern]

cuz u can't

[strong burrow]

so no one can then?

[kind veldt]

it's mostly used as plot device ot say "we are back and can defend ourselves"

[strong burrow]

so this stuff with the season and the castle is like something that is slowly happening over the seasons I take it?

[serene elk]

I'm confused

[neon wyvern]

we stealing blacktusk mortars

[serene elk]

does this mean I can knock them out of cover 50 times now?

[neon wyvern]

maybe when Cindy gets out of recruiting

[strong burrow]

to be honest I am just surprised ubisoft is actually still supporting this game after so many years

[kind veldt]

game made a ton of money

but people only read their own financial reports after deciding to stop supporting the game

so game was in limbo of new dev team getting in and restarting everything

and is back to just being a game

[opal radish]

Is still making money so milking the cow

[kind veldt]

game hasnt become exploitative in it's monetization

[strong burrow]

so umm seems like one if my skills is broken. I cant use it. Is this a bug or something?

[real creek]

Got cool skills directive on?

[strong burrow]

no just out in open world

[real creek]

So no snowflake icon up at the top left?

[strong burrow]

its the healer hive. I dropped it, got some heals then picked it back up. Now i cant use it

wait now it is working

[real creek]

lol

[strong burrow]

I think the cooldown timer was bugged

it wasnt showing

[real creek]

They can bug sometimes tho. Hopefully you don't have to deal with it often tho.

[kind veldt]

safest way to reset them is fast travel

[real creek]

Me just ploping a grenade at my feet...

[kind veldt]

didnt that got fixed?

or talking about restarting?

[real creek]

Wha? I just do it to reset skills or fix them.

[fiery cloud]

Happy XMAS EVE

[lime fulcrum]

fellas am i missing something or ouroboros is broken with striker build 😐

[lime fulcrum]

to you as well sap.

[versed lily]

this game is pure crack. where did the last 4 hours go oi

[kind veldt]

pretty much

[lime fulcrum]

even it does not have bonus weapon dmg from expertise it just brrrr everything 😐

[marsh merlin]

Bah humbug everybody!

[ebon glacier]

is there a way to get elmos if i missed the season?

[reef reef]

yea, its in targeted loot

just farm Countdown with assault rifle targeted loot

[sick thicket]

Hey man on your guys' incursion speed runs, was curious why your healer is running acostas bag @real creek

[real moth]

Btsu gloves

Acostas only overcharges yourself, not the team

[lean solar]

negotiator's dilemma how to get

[reef reef]

targeted loot

[sick thicket]

I mean to tag soulless just realized I said that with no context. I was thinking the same thing, but saw their healer using acostas on wright

My friends and I have been practicing the strats just for fun

[strong burrow]

getting real tired of this game bugging out on me

triying to do summit with the directive that your armor can break and only way to fix it is to use and armor kit, but it keeps bugging out and not fixing me armor

[sick thicket]

Been like that for ages. The directive is pretty chalked

[strong burrow]

yeah taking it off

I have to laugh though on the summit. When I pick the no ammo unless you use your pistol to get ammo on kills the very first floor I walk into is two rogue agents.

[lean solar]

i dont see countdown on my map

Do I have to unlock it or something like that?

[elfin hazel]

are you level 40/have you beat the dlc

[lean solar]

I beat keener yh

[elfin hazel]

weird it should be on the top right of the map in DC

[prisma beacon]

i just did a alert 4 control point and did not die or get sweaty! my build is working!

[random cave]

Why do people grind xp ?

[strong burrow]

is it me or does machine guns get the raw end of the deal?

the one skill unhinged is such a terrible skill. 18% weapon damage for a loss of 25% stability and 25% accuracy? That is such a terrible weapon perk

[lapis junco]

why?

because its fun and has some additonal perks

[strong burrow]

because its fun and has some additional perks? You mean negative ones?

[lapis junco]

Grinding watch levels has no negative perks?

[strong burrow]

no I dont mean that

[lapis junco]

??????

[strong burrow]

sorry I believe we are speaking about different things

[lapis junco]

probably

considering i replied to wolfs not you lol

[strong burrow]

anyway...

[ebon parrot]

aaaah the pc crashes, lord jesus...

[sick thicket]

You around atm?

[real creek]

Uh I guess?

[pliant sentinel]

any feliz navidadders

[vernal pendant]

Happy Holidays y'all

[random cave]

Oh ok so its for the watch level but after you max out the watch what then

[dire ravine]

Merry Christmas everyone

[strong burrow]

Bah! I dun want to hear that! That means I have to sit through an entire day of watching A Christmas Story at my sisters house.

again... Every dang year that same damn movie.

[thorny arrow]

Returning player here - is there a way to level my expertise level quicker?

[wise basalt]

in the next patch it might get changed, so hold on tweaking anything rn

[frozen meadow]

they never said anything about earning it being tweaked

[frozen meadow]

run countdown donate everything

[thorny arrow]

ohh true - i can set my loot. thank you

[lean citrus]

if i do all of the main story missions while at world rank 1 will i have to do them again after moving up world ranks or will all of the next strongholds automically be unlocked?

[tender wave]

You won't have to do them again. For the world tiers you have to do 6 invaded missions and 4 strongholds, you can do all the missions at WT1 if you want, each stronghold will raise you one WT.

[full zinc]

Happy Holiday alll

[lime fulcrum]

❤️

[sick thicket]

Must've just missed your reply last night. Been checking out your groups incursion runs and was curious about a few things. when your healer runs acostas go back @ wright, how exactly are they utilizing that?

Was cool seeing ronin 1 shot the drone, definitely gonna try that. I assume that's just all crit he was using?

[dense shore]

How many Chill Out Mask y'all recommend I should have??

[simple spoke]

guys, how to get 100% on expeditions? Can someone help?

i stuck on 50%

[grand perch]

One blue and one red ig

[dense shore]

Ya I got 1 blue 1 red and the other 2 are blues but haven't changed them yet lol

[full zinc]

not many, only really good in a PFE/tank type of setup

[blissful adder]

what is PFE ?

[solemn marsh]

if im doing the current manhunt, can i do a legacy manhunt at the same time? or is it only one manhunt

[full zinc]

protection from elites

[blissful adder]

oh

[full zinc]

the brand is just not good in other types of builds where you need any type of damage/crit

[wheat glen]

is the hunter: Midas and Revenant Mask bugged? The hunters spawn so quickly

[dense shore]

Nope

[wheat glen]

hmmm... strange, in my case they kill an agent from the team and then leave again

[merry iris]

seems to be a lowamount of people playing rn

matchmaking is not connecting

or slow

[sterile ferry]

what activity and difficulty are you matchmaking for?

[dense shore]

Once they kill, they disappear as they choose to

[merry iris]

summit didnt connect to anyone, countdown did but slow 😅 all challening

[sterile ferry]

summit challenging is super easy so pretty much nobody matchmakes for it

[fluid meadow]

It's mostly either heroic or legendary for summit

[solemn marsh]

anyone know about this

[sterile ferry]

technically you can activate both missions at once but you can only be at one place a time, right?

[solemn marsh]

so i cant do multiple manhunts simultanously? i just got back to the game and have alot of legacy ones

[wheat glen]

Did you mean that if an agent dies then the hunters leave?

[split ether]

hi hi , somebody know when the incursion is reset ? iv heard that it is a character reset thing is it true ?

[tender wave]

The legacy manhunts are just a single mission, not all the CPs and stuff that lead up to them, so yeah you can do them without resetting the current season manhunt.

[plain night]

Hi everyone, new player here trying to figure things out. How can I quickly assess if a weapon is best? via DMG? or RPM?

it seems there is no GS in this game

[wheat glen]

What do you think will happen in the next invasion of the District Union Arena base?

[solemn marsh]

thank you

[grand perch]

Is there a reward for doing the manhunt loot wise or not

[plain night]

anyone knows?

Is there an active channel or other discord server best suited for new players?

[tender wave]

It's a quiet day, most people are occupied elsewhere
