[half wasp]

the freemen in general or just the one for the specific holiday project?

if you want the generic loot goblin enemy then try spawning at DZ south and running north a bit, there is usually a dedicated spawn there that works 90% of the time for farming the named holiday drops

[jade light]

holiday

[half wasp]

if you want one of the specific holiday event enemies then I'd check rogue gold's youtube channel, specifically the shorts section since he has the daily tasks listed there

[jade light]

ill chcek them out

[half wasp]

yee, he has some shorts in between for other content but you can see from the titles pretty easily which are for the holiday event

only time shorts have actually been useful imo, I'd rather 45 seconds straight to the point with visual aid than some people that were making 5 minute long rambling videos

not gonna name and shame but man I do not care about your online persona, just tell me who to kill and where

[fervent forum]

striker build: whats better, fox knee or contractor gloves?

[real moth]

Depends on the enemies you intend to shoot and the rest of your setup

[fervent forum]

difference shouldnt be that big right?

[real moth]

Not really

But what's likely even better for you is grupo, ceska or coyotes lol

[fervent forum]

so 6pc better to go with grupo or ceska, no contractor or fox? need to change then lol xD

[real moth]

Yea, contractors can give a slight advantage in incursion where everything has armor, but honestly especially when you don't have the watch maxed out, just run crit brands

[fervent forum]

kk thank you 🙂

[fair lake]

I usually run 4 striker + ceska + grupo. Just like it

[fervent forum]

no coyote??

[fair lake]

If it's countdown - there are already 2 guys with coyote at least.
If I'm solo - I have 58% chc / 178 chd. More than enough)

[azure lintel]

is it just me for hackers are way more active during 2 to 3 am

because i got jumpscared when i got snipped across 3 citites

[pliant sentinel]

🤔

might switch up my coyote too

[spice zinc]

does anyone know the best way to farm 250 Black tusk elites for Vik league

[blissful adder]

Evaded stronghold, high difficulty, full party, DPS build.

[dawn relic]

im pissed bruh

me and other guy matched together on recruit manhunt

we wiped for 3 times already

that guy just dont call for backup

WHAT FOR

wasted 45min for nothing

holy fxxking shet

[dawn relic]

u can grind 200+ elites with just challenging mode

[tulip moon]

How

[dawn relic]

challenging mode, no healer no tank, just three 100 SHD guy

[tulip moon]

skill issue tbh. but hopefully you got it done.

[dawn relic]

thats why we need 4th person

if 3 of us cant get it done, we need extra power

[half wasp]

just slot more yellow cores then

[serene elk]

Easiest part of recruiter is the fact that it’s scripted 😵‍💫

[grizzled sorrel]

what are u doing right now?

[tulip moon]

idk man i solo heroic cleared it day 1, 3 should be enough to clear it on challenging🫡

[dawn relic]

operation iron horse

[grizzled sorrel]

on discovery mode?

[dawn relic]

yes

[grizzled sorrel]

lol
u wont get any exotics from there

[dawn relic]

its a fun raid, reminds me of destiny 2

i know , just wanna take it slow lol

i got my st elmo today

[grizzled sorrel]

have u finished it?

[pseudo bone]

I have task to meet with Vik

but somehow I can't do it

[tender wave]

ul

have you tried logging off & on again?

[pseudo bone]

yes

it's not working

[tender wave]

afraid the only fix I've heard of is to reset the whole manhunt and run it again. Do it all solo, and make sure you stop to listen to anyone you speak to until they've finished talking

[pseudo bone]

Looks like

[glossy rivet]

who's idea was it to add a one shot armor sniper and 4 black tusk w one that over heal at the recruiter's boss fight

its so bad i can't even skill build that shit whnen they can hack shit

[tulip moon]

Or just keep 1 add alive for the whole fight and make easier for yourself? xd

[glossy rivet]

im...braindead thx

[dawn relic]

#ask-td2-community

[grizzled sorrel]

hackers can crash your game now?
just like GTA

☠️

my full squad's game got crashed

[topaz sorrel]

Hi guys Where can i watch build guides that are accurate and reliable?

[tender wave]

check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice

[topaz sorrel]

TY will do

[bold sleet]

So I got an elmo's drop from countdown, but I didn't know that when you recraft it, your old elmo's gets used up. I accidentally deconstructed it. If I open an exotic cache would it have the chance to drop another elmo's?

I have mostly seen that I dont get any repeat exotics from the cache, its usually something that I didn't have before

[grizzled sorrel]

yes,its on exotic cache

[neon wyvern]

How did you decon on reconfiguration

[grizzled sorrel]

u can get by opening around 15 crates

its not guaranteed

but theres a decent chance

[bold sleet]

By pressing the deconstruct button

[grizzled sorrel]

got most of my exotic that way

[tender wave]

yeah you can get another from countdown, exotic crates, or any other loot source (Target Loot ARs for best chances)

[neon wyvern]

💀

[bold sleet]

Thanks dude!

[neon wyvern]

don't play division 2while drunk or about to pass out next time

[grizzled sorrel]

fr

[glossy rivet]

will ads respawn when fighting recruiter

[grizzled sorrel]

someone in this server accidentally deconstructed Ouroboros

[glossy rivet]

fk the fact that can't ask for backup

[grizzled sorrel]

[neon wyvern]

They never deserved it

[grizzled sorrel]

few weeks ago

[bold sleet]

I'm new to the game so I didn't know what does what

But you're too busy spamming 💀 to know that

It's fine

[grizzled sorrel]

☠️

[neon wyvern]

💀

[grizzled sorrel]

[tender wave]

there's a limited number of add waves, you can kill them all with 5m left on the clock if you're fast

[grizzled sorrel]

are GIFs banned?

[tender wave]

yup

[topaz sorrel]

Wjats the biggest AR mag attachement?

[neon wyvern]

20

[grizzled sorrel]

20 with -10% reload time

[topaz sorrel]

Is it easily obtainable?

[serene elk]

By then it’s in your loot pool tho so it should be fine

[neon wyvern]

No

[grizzled sorrel]

ouroboros on loot pool? ☠️

[indigo crag]

guys, which one is better, pestilence or chatterbox?

[kind veldt]

Just keep farming control points lv3 for the mag

[grizzled sorrel]

both are different thing

[tender wave]

got to grind level 3 or 4 control points, it's a guaranteed drop along with a lot of other blueprints but RNG which one you get each time, so could take up to 100 or so if you're unlucky

[neon wyvern]

I would give away so many ouros when doing smg expertise if that was true

[grizzled sorrel]

bro must be a new player

[serene elk]

🫠 it doesn’t add to the pool? What garbage is this?

[grizzled sorrel]

its not a garbage

[neon wyvern]

It's called raid exotic

[kind veldt]

Same as raid exotics

[serene elk]

I guess it is a raid isn’t it 😵‍💫

[kind veldt]

Eh... Better than raid cause you can matchmake

[serene elk]

Life is hard

Thank god for exotic components

[serene elk]

I got my ouro yesterday so I have no clue 😅

I knew the raids exotics don’t add

[kind veldt]

bighorn is slighty different

because it can drop from anywhere as long it's legendary

so summit makes it easy to get it

[neon wyvern]

It should be illegal for full auto exos to come with no crit

[kind veldt]

what if they are a semi auto in a full auto category

[topaz sorrel]

Whcih backpack gives perfect vigilance?

[serene elk]

“The gift”

DZ exclusive

[neon wyvern]

pointless perfect talent

[serene elk]

Even with normal vigilance you’re 1 shoting everything with marksman build

[topaz sorrel]

Im returning player so just catching up on my Red dps build with AR. Saw the Evernote guide said to use Perfect Vigilance.

[wispy jay]

I keep getting lucky with drops

I got a third scorpio out of an exotic cache

Once i farm materials for optimization i’ll have a god rolled white death and chainkiller

[serene elk]

My white death is god rolled except for the fact that it has damage to armor 😵‍💫

Which honestly I can recal but

It’s fine

DTOOC on marksmen rifles is overrated

[azure lintel]

Wow level up like crazy in the dark zone versus real world

[undone timber]

You can use normal vigilance and it will make 0 difference

[dreamy topaz]

What level gives you blue gear? Is it 10 or 15?

[serene elk]

Should be around 15+

[dreamy topaz]

Thx, im trying to get gear appearance mods that are from lower level

[serene elk]

Mathematically it says 22.5

If you divide by 4 from 30

And then say you can’t guarantee high end

So if it follows that logic then there should be no more greens from 23+

Supposedly

[jade light]

Divide like Division (division reference)

[topaz sorrel]

Is crafting a viable method for min maxing gear?

[hybrid ore]

Nope, crafting rolls items with generally terrible stats.

Better methods are Targeted Loot in:
-Countdown for sheer volume,
-Directives for quality over quantity.

[topaz sorrel]

Thank you ❤️

[topaz sorrel]

Directives as in summit?

[kind veldt]

Open world or summit

[hybrid ore]

Well Summit has selectable Targeted Loot and up to 10 Directives at once, so it's a good choice if you want an alternative to Countdown.

each Directive adds a tiny % increase to an enemy getting their Targeted Loot drop.

[wispy jay]

Summit is such a waste of time imo

In the time it takes to clear 10 floors you can do 4 or more countdowns

[fair lake]

And countdown will be much more dynamic and will provide tons of loot

[hybrid ore]

Dynamic is a bit of a stretch, but as I said, it's an alternative.

[kind veldt]

well summit is more solo friendly and customizable which ends up being it's main advantages

[fair lake]

good point

[topaz sorrel]

Is there a bug where control points dont get captured after all enemies are killed?

[obsidian bone]

sometimes there's 1 missing ennemy who run away or around the cp

because of drones or allies they stay far.

[kind veldt]

Did you call people to take over?

[topaz sorrel]

you were right. Was quite far though but found the bastard

[wispy jay]

yep exactly

[wispy jay]

idk i just feel like you get way more loot for way less effort and a guaranteed exotic every 2 runs

[hybrid ore]

Alternative.

Al-ter-na-tive.

[jolly osprey]

does anyone have youtube/soundcloud or something versions of unreleased music from the game? especially Iron horse tracks. There was a channel on youtube that compiled everything but it seems like either they've deleted them or I just can't find them anymore

[hybrid ore]

Spotify has a lot of the tracks uploaded, or at least did.
I'm not really sure what you mean by "unreleased" though.

[small spear]

there are some tracks that are only in the game but not on spotify

i'm still waiting for the track that plays in Gray in IH, or against the Hunter in Schaeffer manhunt

[jolly osprey]

Yeah Im quite sure the raid music, rogue agent encounter music, some summit tracks, and more aren't on spotify sadly

[jolly osprey]

Yess Gray is exactly the one I want on spotify, it's absolutely incredible

[small spear]

same dude

[jolly osprey]

There's an 8 minute video on youtube that has some of the Gray parts but I want it isolated haha

And Ola Strandh put the Descent music out when that came out so I dont understand why they dont just release the raid tracks too

[topaz sorrel]

How far behind is the standard red build comapred to strikers? Or the general striker build

[small spear]

against content you can maintain stacks on, around 70-75%

but the main benefit that striker has is it doesn't have to run vigilance

[jolly osprey]

and it's much easier to farm

[sick solstice]

Good evening, does anyone have any idea where the Agent Brooks Support side mission trigger is?

[lone valve]

The complete track that plays when you enter in combat with rogues is not on Spotify aswell which upsets me

[jolly osprey]

Exactly. It's on soundcloud though uploaded by someone who took it from the files

[neon wyvern]

youtube for video game music ftw

[jolly osprey]

does coyotes mask stack? like can 2 people have it on and everyone gets +40% crit damage?

[full zinc]

up to 3 stacked buffs, if 3 coyote.. but 1 mid, 1close, 1far only

cant stack same buff

[lone valve]

That would be smth else

[prisma gorge]

i need a good way to get better guns

or some help getting a build, i have no clue what i am doing

[full zinc]

roll into countdown, challenging. brind dps/weapon damage build and follow the group. you can select the target loot there and itll be a good amount of dropped loot

15minutes per run, 8 player so easier to carry an agent or 2 till they get setup

[merry iris]

i cant start div2, it just crashes

started today. anyone else?

[kind veldt]

verify files

thats the basic help to check if things are alright

[merry iris]

I'll try it

[brittle ember]

I haven't played Div 2 in a while, what's the best way to grind SHD levels now?

[merry iris]

just play the game

[full zinc]

open world, highest difficulty and whatever directives you can manage. control points, public executions, propaganda broadcasts. for scale, heroic 4d control point gives a full shd level when cleared. roll in whatever is fastest for you

[prisma gorge]

dont know if the m1A carbine is any good

[tender wave]

carbine?
Classic M1A and M1A CQB are the top rifle options at the moment

[prisma gorge]

are there any build guides centered around them?

[kind veldt]

Pretty much builds that stack crit chance and damage with good talents like vigilance and few named pieces like fox prayers

[tender wave]

the old high end standard crit build works as well for rifles as it does for ARs

Negotiators works too, albeit not quite as well as with fast-firing weapons

[kind veldt]

They do very high damage per shot so focus on that a bit more than stuff that requires multiple hits like oblitarate

[prisma gorge]

would those be something hard for a very inexperienced fella to attain

[kind veldt]

Ita easy to make a good/decent build, its hard to get one where everything is perfect

[prisma gorge]

just want to make my life easier, everyone else i find just beams down the enemies

[tender wave]

this is the standard crit build: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s588/sh/0d1135cf-139c-394e-53f6-02c1b8b4cea9/2e477c029e8333d52b55d2d99eec4808

[prisma gorge]

thank you

time to go on a journey for gear

[tender wave]

challenging countdown is the best place for starting farming

[prisma gorge]

been at that for a bit rn

[tender wave]

there's a good pair of contractors gloves at the Theatre vendor btw

[prisma gorge]

oh nice

[tender wave]

try in #lfg-pc

[balmy yarrow]

Does the incursion box chest reset every after 7 days after you open it or is there a time in the week when it resets?

[wise basalt]

for me it resets every sun at 4pm pt

[balmy yarrow]

Got it thank you!

[sand herald]

Has anyone else worked out what is causing this FPS drops randomly..

sitting 165FPS then down to 50 then back up to 165 back down...

[paper phoenix]

Not exactly something new but The Recruiter is frustrating me.

[serene elk]

Heroic or normal

[paper phoenix]

I usually play Challenging. After a couple of hours of getting beat down I switched to Hard. For some reason that just made worse enemies spawn in. Two tanks and a drone operator.

[serene elk]

😵‍💫

Have you reached the hack phase?

Or are the weakpoints bothering you

[paper phoenix]

So here's what's odd. On Challenging, I could get through the weakpoints with no problem, it was the hack phase that was killing me. On Hard I can barely get the third weakpoint before Johnson snipes me. I've gotten to the hack phase once and kited him over to the tennis court, then during the second shutdown he swung his axe and killed me through the crates.

[serene elk]

Yikes

I never had a problem after second weakpoint, he kind of just gave those to me

There’s this big container on the right side that I loved to abuse while kiting him

[paper phoenix]

I mean, doesn't help that I almost get one-tapped just running for cover on the right hand side as soon as I come down from the porch and Johnson starts his monologue. Doesn't matter how I take cover or dodge, he always seems to get a shot on me.

I've been hit through the trees too.

The whole fight is just fucky

[small spear]

are you doing cover to cover or just straight running?

the fight heavily incentivizes actual cover to cover

[paper phoenix]

Straight running. On Challenging he doesn't seem to hit me at all. On Hard he seems to hit me non stop

[small spear]

that's the problem then

use cover to cover, he can't hit you during the animation

[paper phoenix]

What's a good build suggestion for the actual fight? I have a few, but the main one I've been using is a yellow Striker build with a Tier 6 St. Elmo's

[small spear]

you can try a variant of blue striker with some pfe or a high end pfe build

you won't be able to use skills a lot during the fight due to its nature so skill tiers are a bit wasted

you can also use technician and hive to prevent disruption

[paper phoenix]

I have a HF build that focuses around Scorpio, a red Striker build that I made for Legendaries, a kind of red Striker build that has Nemesis and then my yellow Striker build that I've been using

[small spear]

i would use the red striker variants

or the HF scorpio

[spice swift]

Hi my little baby perogies I am just coming back after a few years, I’m level 40, and just LOST A F. anyone recommend any guides/YouTube videos I can watch?

[potent robin]

Can anyone tell me how to report problems with this game

[tender wave]

Check the pinned messages in #unofficial-troubleshooting

[paper phoenix]

Recruiter is done. Just dropped it to Normal and tore through it with the EB. Glad to have that checked off.

[carmine bramble]

Anyone wanna help me power leveling

[molten spire]

#td2-build-advice, pinned post, The Spreadsheet 2

[modest lintel]

Who’s baby perogies?

[ivory pebble]

Does anyone know if the in game Benchmark is broken? I am stuck at 100% and so to are two of my clanmates.

[timber hatch]

I believe it's broken, haven't used it in ages though

[ivory pebble]

Thx. Yea, I wanna say it has been about a year (new build) since I tested it out myself. Shame, I am trying to test my friends pc. I'll just have her use 3D Mark for now

[wet igloo]

is there a reason why its saying server restart?

or is it the weekly reset?

[wanton bone]

Can someone help me with the hunter mask?

[jade light]

i got this weapon called Emline's Guard

it rolled this called Perfect Preservation

it seems good

[molten spire]

yeah it's pretty solid

[jade light]

dope and is glass cannon anygood

[molten spire]

strong but requires a lot of skill or practice since enemies will hurt a lot

[jade light]

ah

i also rolled Optimist on a Sagia 12

[neon wyvern]

You take too much damage for the damage gain to be worth it pve wise. Usually used on skill builds since the amp applies to them too

[knotty wigeon]

whats the best way to farm gear now? havent played in a very long time

[crude cave]

holy shit this game is frustrating as fuck. just spent the better part of half an hour working my way up to floor 100 only for my game to crash just as i was walking over to loot the final hunter

and when i loaded back in the game decided to put me in the ground floor lobby. fucking lol. so now i have to either work my way all the way back up to 100 again, or hope i can find someone with a checkpoint at 100 who's willing to share (since there's apparently something holiday-related that drops from them according to the last set of patch notes?)

like i get that crashes are hard to fix, but they've known the game has had a crashing problem for years now and there are so many things they could've done to mitigate the impact in the meantime. like, put me back where i was upon relog, or add an in-game postmaster, or literally anything else that doesn't cause the immediate loss of player progress wtf. instead, they're just like... crashed? lol not our problem get bent

[undone timber]

It shouldn't be hard to find a f100 checkpoint

[crude cave]

it's pretty much impossible lmao

the lfg channels in every server are dead, the in-game matchmaker can't find anyone on any difficulty because summit's a dead game mode

so it's basically spend another few hours working my way up from 1 through 100 and probably crash before i can loot the hunters again, gg. idk why they decided to lock a holiday item behind such a ridiculous requirement, but massive gonna massive

honestly i'm more mad at the people who kept shooting down every suggestion for missed loot to get picked up by a postmaster because they didn't want to have to sort through it all back when the game was actually getting dev attention

[undone timber]

It half already does if your inventory is full and you get something from the season pass

[crude cave]

yeah, but it'd be nice if it were customizable to the extent of grabbing everything so i wouldn't have to redo a hundred goddamn floors

[undone timber]

If it makes you feel any better the same thing happened to me except instead of crashing I got killed by the bleed from a stinger hive

[crude cave]

rip

they could at the very least add holiday-exclusive cosmetics to the weirdly-limited mailbox functionality already there wtf

[azure lintel]

anyone on pc wanna play tommorow

[dapper atlas]

Try in the lfg channels, scroll down to see them. Depending on what kind of content you are looking for, there's a specific channel for it.

[solemn marsh]

anyone know how you get the blueprints for items that say: season X reward? is it from cps? descent reconstructed caches? legacy caches?

[obsidian grail]

whats the best way to get resources??

[oak steeple]

they say its alt and NY run through..

or CP s / etc

[umbral merlin]

I hate the coyote mask grind like fr

[umbral merlin]

what kind?

[full zinc]

Only if that season is rerun...

[obsidian grail]

tbh just any. newish to the game lvl 14-15 and doing some side stuff/liberating some areas and wanted to know the best way to get resouces for challanges

[umbral merlin]

at that level you just wanna play through the story

[full zinc]

Watch points from a wony run, or hit up solar farm cp daily fo many material caches

[umbral merlin]

because anything you do will still count as good progression

until you get stronger then ill recommend you how to get builds for whatever you want

but quick warning

sometimes want you NEED can be grindy

try to level up your SHD as much as you can until you're like level 50

[obsidian grail]

aight ive just been doing some projects and getting as many fast travel points as i can come accross rn while slowly doing the story

[umbral merlin]

ahh okay understandable

[full zinc]

No shd if havent completed wony

[solemn marsh]

pain, ty

[umbral merlin]

ah crap you right

just beat the story until you get shd

[full zinc]

@ 14-15 you wont really need much resources

[solemn marsh]

countdown....

[umbral merlin]

its key

[obsidian grail]

yeah ive kinda already got all the perks i can tho. i have to be lvl 30 or unlock otis

[umbral merlin]

im just grinding the trade center

[obsidian grail]

and ive got 6/8 of the skills

[full zinc]

If you feed the controlpoints food/water/components itll highlight cases for a bit and just collect everything you see

[obsidian grail]

aight

[full zinc]

Solar farm and surrounding area has a lot of those cases (west of capitol building in east mall)

[solemn marsh]

do countdown, trade centre is not worth it

[slender atlas]

Does anyone know if the reconstruction caches still drop?

[obsidian grail]

how careful should i be in the dz

[vernal berry]

Depends on what you find

If you are just going in for extra loot to scrap, not much. If you're in for PvP, dont care at all

However, if youre going in looking to actually get exotics and good loot

Be very careful

[fluid meadow]

Seen people cry over 25 resources

[vernal berry]

💀

[fluid meadow]

Muh exotic cache

[neon wyvern]

That's like 6 landmarks 😔

actually maybe 10

been a while since I dz farmed

[fluid meadow]

Thank you farming on my behalf

[vernal berry]

Nah. Its literally just....25 lootdrops. Resources are the easiest thing to farm

[neon wyvern]

even with a pulse resistance invisibility build I'm still scared

[fluid meadow]

I think rn i deconstructed 250 resources because i'm not arsed to extract it

[neon wyvern]

Since I play solo

I run around with a st elmos full of shock ammo as my secondary

[vernal berry]

St. Elmos and its consequences have been a disaster for the PvP community

[neon wyvern]

ill take it as a solo landmark player

[fluid meadow]

Had to 1v4 quite a lot today

[neon wyvern]

I'll take all the self defense cheese I can get

Since most people don't run shocker punch for some reason

simplest solution to elmo cheese

[umbral merlin]

ight thanks

[thick zephyr]

Whoever designed the recruiter mission is sadistic.

[inland pewter]

I'm about to play it, how bad is it?

[thick zephyr]

It's manageable till the end.thats where I gave up.

[obsidian grail]

is that the first mission?

[thick zephyr]

I was on heroic though.
Might consider doing it on challenging or hard

[thick zephyr]

No the last one at camp white oak

[inland pewter]

My world is set to Challenging so I'm hoping it's not gonna be as bad

[obsidian grail]

i think thats pre far from me lol

[inland pewter]

I'm matchmaking for it now, I don't wanna go up against a Hunter alone lol

[thick zephyr]

Lol I did it alone, should have matchmade

[inland pewter]

Does the Recruiter act like a typical Hunter you find in the open world or is he worse?

[thick zephyr]

Sorta like that
You have to destroy the weak points.
All this while the hunter is shooting you and waves of enemies descend upon you.
I recommend equipping decoy

[median basin]

Can someone help me get the ravenous

Or the regulus

[neon trout]

It's a little annoying but it's not that difficult

I think the most annoying thing is only being able to shoot him for a few seconds

[obsidian grail]

ive done the first mission for the castle settlement but why is it still grey?

[tender wave]

Throughout the base story mode of the game it stays grey iirc, it's a dead settlement because of all the dc62.
It only gets reactivated once you finish the Warlords dlc.

[obsidian grail]

ah makes sense

yeah i thought we clearde the dc62 but that actually makes alot more sense now

[dawn relic]

spoil alert , click at ur own risk

||base story, or non-dlc version , the castle is being bombarded with chemical mortars, everyone dead , like real dead

but in the new dlc, WONY, the timeline is after u secured capitol , got everything settled, its been a long time, so castle settlement can be revived

its just like some broken cities after WW2||

[glass pasture]

why tf does everyone always kick me from heroic countdown

[fluid meadow]

Shd level maybe

Or build

[weak delta]

Hello everyone, i am new to discord server, i at level 336, is there any active clan i can join? Or can i have friends to play with

[kind veldt]

heroic countdown people are really kickobsessed

[glass pasture]

why

[fluid meadow]

Just told you why lol

[glass pasture]

my shd lvl is 40 but i do 24 mil dps

[kind veldt]

dunno, but they are

hearing people complain they got kicked for anything in heroic countdown is quite common here

[glass pasture]

I recently switched to pc but been playing on xbox since year 2 of div 2

[tender wave]

#td2-clan-recruitment

[unique edge]

Probably if you have low SHD. it happened to me many times, while I'm just 500 SHD and lazy to level it up but have almost all high-end / meta builds. But some people are just like that.

[fluid meadow]

Me personally i'd do challenging

[tender wave]

People just make lazy assumptions based on shd level. Run challenging, the gear is almost as good and you're unlikely to get kicked. It sucks but there's no value in holding a grudge about it

[fluid meadow]

Heroic is too much of a head ache from team members

[glass pasture]

rip heroic countdown

[neon wyvern]

Challenging is too easy so I do heroic

[unique edge]

I also leave HC Countdown If I see more than 1 Turret/Seeker mine guy in our teams lol

[neon wyvern]

if I can

[fluid meadow]

If i'm getting loot easy af might as well do it laid back

But i don't farm anymore so yeah

[glass pasture]

been playing for 3 days and already have a 24 mill dps build

[unique edge]

I'm not like "You should play meta" but if you go Turret/Skill build into perma EMP mission, sorry mate, this game is not for you.

[fluid meadow]

Into perma hack and have it turned on you mission*

[glass pasture]

i have a turret/drone build aswell but it's 100% emp proof

[fluid meadow]

Doesn't matter

[neon wyvern]

even worse when they don't use it on hunters but they swap to a skill build when doing objectives

[fluid meadow]

Hunters still gonna hack and get your team fucked

[glass pasture]

does matter. It destroys all content

[neon wyvern]

All content😭

[fluid meadow]

I strongly disagree

[unique edge]

Me too lol

[glass pasture]

my turret and drone killed a heroic hunter in countdown in like 3 seconds

[unique edge]

And than you woke up with sweat?

[neon wyvern]

normal open world hunter*

[glass pasture]

never seen a hunter hack someone's skill

[fluid meadow]

Breaking news: they do

[glass pasture]

since when

[neon wyvern]

This guy doesn't notice the 3-7 other dudes shooting the hunter

[fluid meadow]

Since hunters were a thing?

[neon wyvern]

he think he doing all the dps

[glass pasture]

there were no other guys. these 7 guys went to the left and went to other direction to get a buff to save time

[fluid meadow]

Build showcases in countdown 😹

[neon wyvern]

🎣

[fluid meadow]

There is a HELL of alot of things that might double triple even quadruple your dps in an 8 man setting with countermeasures

[glass pasture]

my skill build works just as well in legendary content while there are emps

[unique edge]

Hunters are different than normal Legendary AI

[tender wave]

If you try and take a turret drone build into countdown then you'll get kicked even on challenging, doesn't matter how emp proof you are

[unique edge]

More like Rouge agents

[glass pasture]

had legendary rogues which dies pretty quick

[unique edge]

They are just have more health nothing more, but Hunters can hack the skills. its not just EMP

[fluid meadow]

Only skill build you can run in countdown is cc

[unique edge]

Tactician Drone is works and cant be hacked by Hunters

But not Striker or others.

[glass pasture]

so i should stick to my dps build i guess

[unique edge]

Would be better for you and your team

[tender wave]

You're not going to make a skill build around tactician though

[unique edge]

Yes, I know. I just wanted to point what Hunters cant hack

or not bother to hack lol

[fluid meadow]

I think anything that doesn't benefit them or damage you they don't hack

[glass pasture]

oxidizer would be good? I see everyone use them on hunters

[tender wave]

They're not as bad as keener who can turn non-damage skill variants into damaging ones and force deploy skills on your backpack, thankfully

[azure lintel]

Got a question yall. Ive been playing Div1 so far and it looked pretty decent. Though a few friends of mine said Div2 is worse than Div1, one of the reasons being f.e. that you progress through the levels way slower and the rewards aint so juicy either.

What can yall tell me about Div2 in comparison to Div1 in all honesty? Ive been thinking of getting Div2 myself

[unique edge]

Imagine run from your own Seeker Mines lol

[tender wave]

Banshee pulse is a useful one for hunters. Oxidiser I feel they'd just jump out the way unless someone else is CCing them

[unique edge]

I didnt play D1 but played D2 at day one. Than got bored and came back after 4 years, I'm having a lot of fun even I only play solo and with randoms. It depends what is FUN mean to you tbh.

[obsidian grail]

Cheers makes a lot more sense. Can’t wait to play the dlc

[azure lintel]

alright thanks!

[inner harness]

Dps isn't everything and that's also optimal conditions realistically it's probably 15 or less

[tender wave]

I played D2 first then D1. Imo D2 has smoother gameplay, an easier story mode, and lots of qol improvements. It also has new content regularly added. D1 has the better atmosphere and story though.

[unique edge]

Animations, the World itself, gameplay, repeatability, sounds, build variations and freedom are really cool and enjoyable for me. And the most important thing is the community is really friendly, well at least on Xbox that I have encountered with.

[azure lintel]

I see i see, thanks guys

[azure lintel]

the atmosphere of d1 is really heavily liked ngl, it feels so good

[inner harness]

Xbox has a much tighter community

[obsidian grail]

I played d2 a couple years ago and didn’t like it. But after a bunch of qol updates I’m actually loving the game now

[unique edge]

I was trying to new Build yesterday with newly dropped BTSU gloves. Made a Hard Wired Seeker Mine spammer build but was missing a Test Subject or Capacitor to boost my damage up and went with normal SMG to try out the build on Legendary Summit and joined someone's game via Matchmaking. He didn't tell me anything, he was pure DPS and probably checked my build/gear and he changed to Skill build from DPS build to match and get benefit from my Gloves Overcharge talent, and then after Floor 20, he dropped Test Subject to the ground without asking him that I missing that gun. LOL.

It was so wholesome for me to see that kind of stuff in online games after 7 years of Overwatch journey.

[neon wyvern]

switching from dps to skill build is crazy

[inner harness]

Why summit?

You get so little loot

[neon wyvern]

Depends on floor

More elites on higher floors

[unique edge]

Summit is good for endless enemies for me and not need to run all over for the enemies.

I usually farm Floor 90 bosses for loot

[inner harness]

But on floor 90 -> 100 you get less than like 1 ot 2 countdowns

[unique edge]

I'm not gonna try builds on Countdown for sure man lol

[neon wyvern]

Legendary summit has a significant higher chance at godrolls that's the only reason to run it over cd

basically gear mod farming

[unique edge]

For loots yes, countdown is best but for trying builds, summit is okay for me

[inner harness]

Significant In my opinion is an overstatement but you also get guaranteed named items and exotics (3 every 2 runs) on challenging

I agree that there is a higher chance of God rolls though I will agree

[neon wyvern]

I got most of my god rolled gear mods in legendary content so that's why I say that

[frozen meadow]

What is a fox

[undone timber]

I still don't have a single maxed pfe mod

[unique edge]

Target loot countdown or summit and farm. I got plenty of them with this method

And Heroic or Legendary difficulty for sure.

[undone timber]

The problem is the pool is so huge the chances of getting a maxed one are mad low

[unique edge]

You will need all of them if you plan to play/make other builds tho

So, I wouldnt say its a problem

[undone timber]

I have essentially every build I need tbh

Just want everything maxed for the sake of being maxed

[unique edge]

I need Skill haste modes for my healer build

finally got dropped BTSU gloves yesterday

[neon wyvern]

imma need pics of this pfe 13 bank

[undone timber]

[unique edge]

I will send a pic when I got home lol

[neon wyvern]

[unique edge]

have max headshot damages for my Sniper build and some CHD I guess 2-3 of them not sure lol

[hybrid swift]

yo im just getting back into this game after a long time not playing it. whats the best wat to level up you're shd level easy

[undone timber]

These days it's public executions with directives on heroic

[pliant sentinel]

cp4 with 4 directives

[hybrid swift]

ill try giving that a shot thanks

[small spear]

wtf the fox came back

[frozen meadow]

hi

[small spear]

welcome back

[neon wyvern]

6 whole days without the 5 hour raid person

[frozen meadow]

im at school now so youll be seeing me a lot more :3

[neon wyvern]

same

[undone timber]

I have start to go back tomorrow

The thought of it is yikes

[shy musk]

i finally got ouro...

[undone timber]

Congrats

[opal radish]

Lol

[lime star]

hei guys

how are ya

anybody wanna do some missions ?

[neon wyvern]

call for backup

[lime star]

mhm

[rough mango]

Did anyone get randomly kicked off the game recently? Me and 3 randoms were doing district union on legendary and I got kicked back to the menu for a few minutes

[glass pasture]

i killed the raven after destroying his ammo pack and it didn't count, why???

[rough mango]

Worst part is, we were about to kill the boss too

[glass pasture]

rip

[limpid plover]

Yeah my server just completely froze for me. Luckily wasn't really in the middle of anything

[rough mango]

Yeah, same happened with me. Froze for awhile, then kicked to menu. I checked my wi-fi and it was fine so it had to be the server

[uneven tapir]

Incursion chest question: once per week by account, or once per character?

[kind veldt]

per character

[rough mango]

Character I'm pretty sure

[uneven tapir]

Thank you. 😁

[neon wyvern]

get deltad

[rough mango]

Welp, I'm probably never gonna touch a legendary stronghold again lol. Just the thought of it happening again is awful.

[kind veldt]

it's better if you know what ot expect from each room

[rough mango]

I mean I've done every legendary stronghold on my PC account so I know what to expect, but I'm just scared that the delta error will be waiting to strike at the right moment

[kind veldt]

oh that

yeah no saving against that

[rough mango]

Well, the og 3 legendary missions that is, never got around to doing tidal basin or manning

[rough mango]

The delta error has no mercy

[subtle cave]

What does proficiency actually do for a weapon/gear?

[late finch]

Once you get it fully perficient, you and increase weapon damage up to 24% and gear up to 24%. I only upgrade my weapons.

[subtle cave]

Does that count for exotics as well?

[late finch]

yes and skills

[broken solstice]

and specialization weapons

[subtle cave]

So like after I upgraded my elmo's once, after that when I tried to upgrade, it says "insufficient expertise level". How does that work?

[broken solstice]

your expertise level depends on getting as much gear and weapons proficient as possible

[late finch]

you can only upgrade to your current expertise level

[tender wave]

increase global expertise level by gaining proficiency in all categories (weird, but you can't upgrade one thing very far until you've got good with everything else)

[subtle cave]

Oh so is it recommended to equip random gears and be proficient with all of them?

[kind veldt]

you can just donate trash you found

[broken solstice]

someone told me that the tombs mission (the very last bit) still works by using jammer pulse against all the decoys for proficiency

but i thought they changed that

[subtle cave]

Oh it counts towards proficiency?

Cool

[late finch]

If I were you, I would hold out until the February update because it will cost ALOT less to upgrade.

[tender wave]

you still need to grind out expertise levels the usual way, just don't actually upgrade stuff until next season

[subtle cave]

Oh orite, would it be okay to upgrade the weapons at least? Really wanted to try out the new incursion 😄

I saw that the mats required are kinda crazy

[late finch]

To get to 20, you will need every item proficient

The current system took me for ever

[subtle cave]

Yea I'll try and work on that, it would take a lot of time

[fiery cloud]

Hey Gogamer,

[crude cave]

it's not like you need upgraded weapons to do the incursion

you can upgrade now if you want, but that would be roughly equivalent to making a large purchase immediately before black friday discounts go live lol. ultimately you alone will have to judge how badly you want the extra few % and how immediately you think you need it

[subtle cave]

Yea honestly now I see what you mean. It would take forever.

I just checked the station stuff properly like you said, and since I'm fairly a new player resources arent cheap

[glass pasture]

since when has unlocking specialization become so time consuming

[crude cave]

i would recommend working on proficiency levels so that by the time the costs go down you can upgrade your items immediately when the reduction goes live

what kettle said, basically

[subtle cave]

I'll do that, I guess it would be good to equip multiple new gears and run missions yea?

[crude cave]

donating items would probably be easier

[tender wave]

running countdown with a weapon type as your target loot, then donating everything that drops is an easy way to get an early boost. Buy named items from vendors and donate those (only needs 20 to max proficiency). Save the 'running around in weird builds' approach for DZ exclusives and exotics

[subtle cave]

Yep gotcha

[crude cave]

i'd leave printer filaments for those and just skip the 'running around in weird builds' part entirely tbh

[tender wave]

surely the entire point of expertise is to get people to explore using items & skills they wouldn't otherwise touch?

[hybrid ore]

It is, but suggesting using a "for fun" build on this Server can get a hostile reaction.

[undone timber]

Ninjabike meta

[crude cave]

you didn't hear? fun was outlawed

[hybrid ore]

Oh we say this now, but I say "i like Backfire" and basically get death threats.

[tender wave]

the real problems mostly only occur when you start telling other people to try backfire

[undone timber]

That's a bit much

[crude cave]

i like Backfire
you've commited crimes against DC and her people. what say you in your defense?

[midnight salmon]

"Fixed the issue with Kelso getting stuck inside the wall in Haven."

nice

[hybrid ore]

Aww, we lost Wallso?

[midnight salmon]

yeah

[hybrid ore]

I have the logs to prove it. Remember: everything people say is saved.
But anyway, yeah Expertise is meant to encourage you to try out new stuff. But of course people will cheese it.

I like to think MSV look at the spreadsheet and just kind of shake their heads.

[broken solstice]

aint that the truth

[prisma beacon]

does the sacrifice always roll with chc and chd?

[undone timber]

Expertise is essentially the Damascus grind but not as rage inducing

[broken solstice]

no

[undone timber]

No

[crude cave]

no

[prisma beacon]

mmmmmm feels good

nothing a little optimization cant fix

[neon wyvern]

no

[dawn relic]

im wordless

[quiet blaze]

The Incursions are painful noone has a clue how to play it

I just get lobbies of first timers making it really difficult for me to enjoy the Mission

[dawn relic]

i just captured a heroic CP

and then 4 rogue agents spawned

guess what? i called backup, all 3 of them below SHD100

[hybrid ore]

There should've been 5 Rogues then.

it's group size +1.

[dawn relic]

from my UI, its 4?

but thats not important, what matters are other 3 dudes died instantly

welp, ofc

before they escaped, i can only drop their armor to 50%, all rogue agents , and thats it

[serene elk]

Is it possible that it double spawned?

[dawn relic]

no way i can solo it

[hybrid ore]

It double spawned 1 less Rogue than there should've been?

[quiet blaze]

Yeah it's weird

[serene elk]

I think 4 spawned on him

And then he called for backup after

[dawn relic]

it was 2 man before capturing CP

i called the 3/4th person after that

[serene elk]

Well then 3 spawned

[hybrid ore]

There would've been 3 then.
I've never had a double-spawn in all my time in div2.

[dawn relic]

or 3?

[serene elk]

It’s ok rouges don’t drop much worth noting

[dawn relic]

it has 4 at that time

[dawn relic]

my first exotic dropped from rogue

[serene elk]

That’s just luck I guess

[neon wyvern]

or free roam rogues attacked at the same time as cp rogues

[hybrid ore]

I actually don't think that's possible.

[serene elk]

It could be if you do a free roam side mission

But not on 2 people, it would spawn 6

[neon wyvern]

like you got a rogue agent detected but you can't find them cuz ur playing fog of war

[serene elk]

😵‍💫

[serene elk]

Tactical drone

Doing CPs better be using best CP ability 😎

[lone valve]

Hmmm

[serene elk]

OK AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO SEES AN ISSUE WITH THE ABBREVIATION CP

[lone valve]

Hmmmmmm

[neon wyvern]

no

[dawn relic]

does vpn banned in this game?

[hybrid ore]

Yes.
now don't bring it up again.

[serene elk]

😭

[hybrid ore]

@dawn relic not officially banned, no.

[neon wyvern]

cd has an abbreviation issue too

[dawn relic]

thank god

[neon wyvern]

[hybrid ore]

I just think of ACDC whenever someone mentions countdown.
now the real issue for abbreviations is BP.

"i got a bp for a bp by doing a cp" is a 100% legit statement.

[neon wyvern]

blood pressure

[crude cave]

is alphabet soup still a thing?

[hybrid ore]

"then i played some cd by raising my cd and cc"

this is why we use chc and chd for crit chance and damage respectively.

[full zinc]

chc chd more appropriate anyways . crowd control also cc

[lone valve]

icu using cc with ep in cd farming for a bp

[neon wyvern]

I put wh on my wh chestpiece with hh

[lone valve]

Wheres CHR

Critical hit range

[hybrid ore]

That's not a thing.

[lone valve]

[neon wyvern]

critical hit rate

[lone valve]

Fire rate for ur crits

[neon wyvern]

critical hit chance but different wording

[hybrid ore]

This is what happens when you use the petter emote too much, Agents. You forget the word "chance".

[neon wyvern]

idc it's the best emote

[lone valve]

Wasn't critical hit range a thing in div 1 I swear it was

[hybrid ore]

it still looks like Jay Bauman.

[neon wyvern]

[hollow thorn]

where the voice rooms?

[full zinc]

another server

[hybrid ore]

They were removed as per #discord-news
No one's happy about it.

@lone valve actually it was, it was the range at which your crits could still happen IIRC.

[neon wyvern]

That sounds bad

Good thing I wasn't a div1 player

[hybrid ore]

It was a weird time. I couldn't take off my sunglasses for over 2 years.

[hollow thorn]

wdym

[opal radish]

[hollow thorn]

+no more voice chats?

[crude cave]

crit range was a thing in this game too at one point wasn't it? i remember ARs couldn't crit at less than 10m

[hybrid ore]

You couldn't alter most aspects of your Agents appearance for a ....very long time back in div1.

Not even take off sunglasses.

They added a bathroom at the base where you could in I think 2018?

[lone valve]

Atleast we could wear hats /beanies over our masks sigh

[serene elk]

Remember when masks were actually used consistently and had a strength value 😵‍💫

[full zinc]

there is a community server for vc thats not tied to ubisoft and their shit genius decisions.
just lookup thedivision and itll be a discord with a ton of members

[opal radish]

Ubi decision are always in the super ultra pro Max league

[dawn relic]

im screwed

[full zinc]

agreed

[hybrid ore]

We have no idea why they chose to remove it, but it's unlikely that it was made without hesitation.

[dawn relic]

theres bunch of japan addresses in my VPN collection, but none of them are US

[hybrid ore]

You have a bad VPN.

[dawn relic]

welp its free

[neon wyvern]

you trying to play div2 in school?

[opal radish]

Even free protonvpn gives Netherland us and Japan

[dawn relic]

i want to escape from asia region

[neon wyvern]

good enough

[hybrid ore]

Yeah that's a bad VPN. You 100% should not be using a free one. Ever.

A "free VPN" is likely just mining using your system.

[opal radish]

You can use tor

[dawn relic]

1000x better than playing in asia region

[full zinc]

some of their other official game discords still have VC. it wasnt consistent so seems a bit targeted

[serene elk]

whoops fell too far, accessed the deep web

[hybrid ore]

Just pay for one, I can't recommend it directly but I'm sure there are ranking lists out there.

[dawn relic]

i did access deep web before

using tor

[opal radish]

Why lmao I am in the Asia region as well as AI

[hybrid ore]

To be 100% clear: the mod team weren't told what was going to happen before it did. So targeted seems a stretch.

[lone valve]

Even ookla speed test has a vpn now

[opal radish]

nordVpn and protonvpn are quite good from my experience

[hybrid ore]

Nord recently sold off data of its consumers.

[dawn relic]

why? because for every F###ing time, my team is matched with dudes that cannot understand english

[rancid siren]

Hey, guys? I got banned from the main server after being inactive for 3 months. Anyone else with the same problem?

[neon wyvern]

what

[dawn relic]

and then everything just falling apart

[rancid siren]

I literally woke up and Carl the Bot said "you've been banned"

[hybrid ore]

What do you mean by "main Server"?

[opal radish]

Ahh yeah I don't care most of the times I can carry for 99% of the content

[rancid siren]

The Division Community Server

[neon wyvern]

This is the main server

[opal radish]

Wuuut

[neon wyvern]

The other is comminity

[rancid siren]

Damn, then the other guy just banned me for no reason, greaaaaaat

Alright, no problem then whatsoever

[opal radish]

You got scammed by whoever told you that was the main server

[dawn relic]

welp not me though, so i need lfg and someone who at least know english

[hybrid ore]

"no reason" seems unlikely.

[full zinc]

i didnt mention mods. you guys really have no official input to the process and i hold nothing against mods... but it wasnt company wide so its hard to think it was something from a legal point of view... evidence just points to a community being targeted, just calling it how i see it is all

[opal radish]

The only thing that is difficult to carry is Manning national and tidal

[dawn relic]

tidal is hard

[hybrid ore]

Sure, conspiracy theory.

[neon wyvern]

I bet you got hacked and sent a funny message ther

[rancid siren]

It was another server and tbh I stopped playing three months ago, I even uninstalled the game and everything because I phisically don't have time and space on my hard drive

[rancid siren]

Yayyyyy

[hybrid ore]

Massive servers don't ban you for inactivity in a game. Especially when they're as big as the community one is

[opal radish]

With bunch of randoms yeah it is I am talking about legendary tidal and Manning btw

[dawn relic]

welp it depends, i think the division server is fine, but genshin server or any servers like that , damn

[rancid siren]

You have a theory? Cuz I'm confused

[neon wyvern]

It's always the dudes with 1000 days on the server and 2 messages that send scam discord links

[dawn relic]

if u havent been to genshin server (1st main official server) , u havent seen the worst

[hybrid ore]

I've heard every variation of "i was banned for no reason" that you can possibly think of since I started on this Server.
It's never "no reason".

[neon wyvern]

I swear

[lone valve]

I remember when they did the rumour was that ubi lawyers advised them to remove the channels as they could cause a headache

And that smth smth someone was harassed in VC
But yea just ear say

[rancid siren]

I get where you're coming from, for real, but the part of "I was inactive for three months" still stands. Asides, I was never toxic, quite the opposite, I was known for helping people

[opal radish]

Must have been using 5.11 when making the decision

[lone valve]

I hate you.

[opal radish]

Really?

[hybrid ore]

As has been stated, these days "no reason" is very likely someone got on your account and sent a discord scam spammed out.
We get a lot of those.

[lone valve]

No

[serene elk]

😭

[opal radish]

[lone valve]

I HATE 5.11 INSTEAD

[rancid siren]

Damn, gonna change my password

[crude cave]

you should ask the mod team over there though, mods here won't have the power to do anything about your ban on another server

[rancid siren]

Good Idea, I'll try to reach them

[hybrid ore]

You should add 2fa if you haven't already. It protects from most issues.

[dawn relic]

or dont share your account

[hybrid ore]

As someone who was a victim of account theft (my ubisoft one) back in 2018, it's very much worth adding it in.

[neon wyvern]

🤯 🤯 🤯

[lone valve]

2fa, closed dms so they have to friend request you first
Scan all the messages received is how mine is set up

[opal radish]

The best thing to do is always enable 2FA/MFA when you can

Even than your account can be compromised

[dawn relic]

i think it will be less outside my country, ppl here loves sharing accounts, i can say 80% of gaming population somehow involved in it

[neon wyvern]

You have to have dms open so u get ur ban message

[dawn relic]

by sharing accounts to someone, or played someones accounts

[lone valve]

They can send it by fax

[neon wyvern]

[serene elk]

Hey

I was reading that

[neon wyvern]

same

[opal radish]

No no no they can send it by speed post so it can't be hacked electronically

[dawn relic]

DONE

connected to netherland

[serene elk]

Ayo what you doing spying on me

[dawn relic]

i shall escape from this hell

[opal radish]

You used proton?

[neon wyvern]

I use electron

[opal radish]

You revealed your location

[opal radish]

I use neutron

[dawn relic]

ISAC: warning , doxxing imminent

[serene elk]

Gah! I revealed I am one of millions of people in a country

[neon wyvern]

it's joever

[dawn relic]

i will be very mad if EAC treat my proton VPN as hack

[opal radish]

I don't think it does 🤔

[dawn relic]

idk

[hybrid ore]

There is no official "boo VPN" status AFAIK, but there's also no endorsement for it.
so basically: use at your own risk.

[dawn relic]

ITS IN EUROPE

ESCAPED

[neon wyvern]

he did it

no more asia

[opal radish]

🙈

[dawn relic]

if japan is liberated from asia region i gonna jump there

[full zinc]

matchmaking sends you back to asia servers

[dawn relic]

but it isnt

[opal radish]

You should play with me I can easily carry you

[dawn relic]

how

[serene elk]

Matchmaking is host dependent

[full zinc]

countdown

[neon wyvern]

Dead game

[serene elk]

[dawn relic]

US and europe is not that dead right

[opal radish]

Yeah I get access to super-fast us servers due to matchmaking

[rancid siren]

[full zinc]

i get matched all over

[dawn relic]

plz tell me US region has no US west and US east

because if US has two region, but cursed asia only has one, its unfair

[rancid siren]

Knowing every single game ever... probably yes

[neon wyvern]

lucky

so many want u

[dawn relic]

UNFAIR

[full zinc]

it does

[crude cave]

there's 3 actually

[opal radish]

It has

[crude cave]

there's a us central as well

[rancid siren]

My man, I was born in south america, THAT IS UNFAIR

[dawn relic]

theres no southeast asia , east asia , west asia, central asia

[opal radish]

Ubi logic Asia is bigger than us and we have 1 server name for it

[rancid siren]

I would make a joke about this but I'm just gonna save myself rn

[lone valve]

Countdown sends me to Antarctica servers true story

[dawn relic]

i had one either, but i gonna get cancelled

so nope not gonna say that

[rancid siren]

Same

[full zinc]

weak

[rancid siren]

Also, Countdown sends me to the North pole my guy

[neon wyvern]

Countdown sends me to mars

[lone valve]

He'd get his message deleted probably tbh

[dawn relic]

ubisoft: dw they are all yellow putting all asian inside a server wont matter much

Countdown sends me to 5.11 planet

[rancid siren]

Countdown sends me to Pluto

[neon wyvern]

any earth server enjoyers?

[dawn relic]

why not sun server

[rancid siren]

Nah, Mercury has better ones

[neon wyvern]

sun server is straight fire

[rancid siren]

🔥🔥🔥

[dawn relic]

good for cold winter

[crude cave]

filthy belters

embrace terran superiority

[rancid siren]

Think about it: if the sun turns off then we can just make some servers there

[lone valve]

I love uranus servers

[dawn relic]

aight i decided

i gonna go back to asia server, but for backup, i gonna filter out ppl

[opal radish]

Why not black hole server enjoyer?

[crude cave]

i too love uranus

[lone valve]

Boooo too obvious

It was sitting right there

[full zinc]

there probably a couple asia servers... but isnt there a whole other version for china?

[lone valve]

Yea

[dawn relic]

too heavy

[neon wyvern]

too much spaghetti code

[lone valve]

The China one is pc only

Afaik

[opal radish]

Made in China ™

[lone valve]

Means more features

[dawn relic]

central chat quote : this game is a chinese game , please speak less other languages

epic

ubisoft chinese company confirmed

[crude cave]

yeah there was a reddit post about it a while back, china has a whole separate client managed by tencent (?)

straight up has different content and everything too

[dawn relic]

even tencent took over it , they still connected to global server with us isnt it?

[crude cave]

i believe the separation is total since the game content is different as well

[dawn relic]

and u know what? by the population, i can tell u most of the players wont give up to the game

[lone valve]

The Chinese version launched in like November

And only has the summit as a mode iirc

[crude cave]

lmao really? i would've thought they would've had more stuff than we did

[dawn relic]

its no use bruh

get inside ur game

[neon wyvern]

China has legendary difficulty raids

[dawn relic]

open central chat and tell me what did u see

[neon wyvern]

And eagle bearer doesn't exist

[lone valve]

Nah cuz they need to change the modes to you know fit the Chinese cough politics

Also gives them content to drip feed over it's life span lol

[crude cave]

figured they would've had chinese-exclusive stuff given they have their own dev team which presumably consists of more than 2 interns and a janitor like ours

[dawn relic]

chinese government did a lot on censorship lemme tell u
im not talking about politics, but many other stuff

the censorship not only for politics bruh

[hollow thorn]

wait so they removed voice chats at discord?

[lone valve]

Yea
Game isn't even set in the US by their censoring lol

[lone valve]

On this discord

[hollow thorn]

where is the right discord

[crude cave]

totalitarians gonna totalitarian

[lone valve]

I can send you the link

[hollow thorn]

send me then

[dawn relic]

the thing is , i know chinese, so i can read central chat
let me assure you, all the chinese posts there 80% is about paid carry with hacks

[serene elk]

So…what’s up with Lincoln Memorial and Washington monument, 2 very distinct landmarks and locations on the map

[full zinc]

where all the needy MF today? backup calls quiet af

[serene elk]

Have you tired NY

[lone valve]

I have no clue all I know is the names of the locations are changed

[lone valve]

Mondays are slow

[full zinc]

not yet

[neon wyvern]

It's always quiet

if I filter out the blue winged ones

[full zinc]

XD

[crude cave]

i'm sure they can just sell them as being obscure chinese places and hope nobody knows any better, lol. after all, doesn't north korea teach it's population they invented pizza and singlehandedly won WWII?

[full zinc]

im pushing for 50 rank by season end

[lone valve]

If I did backup calls it wouldn't be for the rank
That would just make it more of a grind than smth fun to do
That's just me tho

[serene elk]

What’s up with the “experience boost” btw

After getting endorsed

[full zinc]

probably just letting you know you coulda had another endorsement elsewhere

[serene elk]

😵‍💫

You get your endorsement and dip

IM OUTTA HERE

[full zinc]

nice thing about backups is you could be doing anything... xp grind, manhunt carry, random mission... hell i was matched up doing hunter masks a couple days ago

[serene elk]

True

[full zinc]

i dont usually dip on endorse. if its just regular shit ill dip out at the end of a mission or 2

[serene elk]

Fair

[full zinc]

wony carry/manhunt ill stick around for longer

[lone valve]

I could just run backup and run cc ep and let them do the shooty shooty

[neon wyvern]

I won't dip on invasions if I haven't done them

[full zinc]

yeah same

[lone valve]

I'll especially run healer /cc if its someone relatively new to the game

[full zinc]

i usually just run around with btsu arty/hive build so its good damage and i can reset the revive hives constantly 😅

[neon wyvern]

Joining backups with a support build? Bold

[lone valve]

I mean
If they are new

[serene elk]

I hate how revive hives work
When you’re downed you drop it and lose all charges
That’s because all activated skills go on cooldown on death, sure
But that means revive hive charges are specifically meant for teammates.
And what’s funnier is that revive hives REVIVE FASTER AFTER THE FIRST CHARGE???

[neon wyvern]

maybe but blue winged backup calls are boring

[neon wyvern]

Sink in that you died with a slow af revive time

[serene elk]

😭 playing WoW all over again
Why did I die? Pulled more enemies than I could handle

[prisma beacon]

i want the vik league notification to go away, i completed it, also vik is an ass and he can go eat a taco or something

[full zinc]

looks like its wony carry. ny backup calls ftw

[prisma gorge]

dz south is living hell rn

[neon wyvern]

another one falls victim to the stairs

[prisma gorge]

me and a group of randos i joined got melted as soon as we left the godamm checkpoint

honestly going rogue shouldnt be literally instant

[neon wyvern]

it's going to 5 seconds in the next big update anyway

[prisma gorge]

thank god

[neon wyvern]

Invaded dz stays at instant

[prisma gorge]

ah shit

like i turn my back for one second to focus on the black tusk and i get beamed

[neon wyvern]

dz is scary as a solo player

[prisma gorge]

even with a group im afraid

im too trusting

[neon wyvern]

betrayals or random dudes ambushing at extraction will probably happen less since they also are removing kill agents in the projects

[subtle cave]

@crude cave regarding the expertise level, how does the donate junk button work? I marked some items as junk but when I try to donate them as junk, it says there's no items

[prisma gorge]

well see, there are probably more than enough people willing to do it, just for the kick of it

but the fear i get when im at extraction and i see [Insert username] has gone rogue

as soon as i set the flare

[neon wyvern]

I can see some people still doing it In the hopes they can easy complete their extract items project

[prisma gorge]

i dont really do projects, dont know if i should start doing them ngl

[neon wyvern]

They are gonna update some of the projects to give a full shd level for completing

that's gonna be worth it I think

+the random caches

[prisma gorge]

ooh

yeah that will make them worthwhile

[narrow chasm]

Hi everyone I just came back after about a year (same PC spec) but game is unplayable I have some weird lags/fps issue

What's goin on?

[prisma gorge]

more returning players, im not alone yay

[kind veldt]

would say to check programs running in the background

[serene elk]

Ive read so many steam reviews tbat say they are constantly crashing , even recent ones
Nice PCs they have there

[kind veldt]

game did have a period or just crashing

it has some weird crashes from time to time but it's really inconsistent what caused them

[serene elk]

My game only crashes when connecting to my wireless headset

Not even connecting its prolonged exposure eventually crashes it for no reason

Using them without game causes nothing
Using game without them causes nothing too

Solution? Suck it up every 2 hours

[kind veldt]

have that if my controller is plugged in

but it's mostly caused by EAC in my case

[fluid meadow]

The absolute chaos i clipped there was phenomenal

[neon wyvern]

I hate the stairs

[fluid meadow]

I don't always stay there

And i make sure the rogue police have their daily marathons

That dz cardio

[prisma gorge]

i avoid dz ngl

i dont have a group and i feel i am severely underpowered

[fluid meadow]

I solo in there and i manage myself

Can't really do such thing when 5 to 6 people push you tho

In stairs it's possible

[prisma gorge]

i avoid stairs

ive come back after 2 years so i dont got a build

[lone valve]

Random bullet King from dua legendary
Sure game

[serene elk]

Jumpscare

[lone valve]

Nah it was a mission reward
Not a in mission drop

Along with a lightweight m4

[brisk matrix]

man this game sure goes different once you get an actual build going

[narrow chasm]

You find any solution? I have same issue

[random quest]

Is every brand/type in the targeted loot system each day or does it overflow and some aren't there? I can for the life of me not find Walker, Harris

[small spear]

there are more categories than there are locations in the game, so no particular category is guaranteed to show up

but you can always target loot what you want in countdown

[random quest]

Ah, alright, thanks!

[pallid fox]

No

[cinder nacelle]

Trying to do this Christmas scavenger hunt now is really painful. 😬

[fiery cloud]

What are you having trouble with

[umbral merlin]

Does anyone know why my CPU is locked?

[weary iron]

division 3 in Hawaii 🥺

yk what if ubi did a COD mw, mw2, mw3 style format, where future installments take place in new cities with same engine and base mechanics

[frosty wadi]

That sounds like a genuinely bad idea and its already half of what they are doing

Like what

Also cod is consistently pumped out and is extremely similar to the previous title the year before

They have 3 different game studios making cod at the same time

The only division game so far that uses the exact same location as another game for its entirety is the mobile game

[kind veldt]

nad let's be honest mw3 has just proven that is a bad idea

only a real reason to make a div3 is to change things that you cant change from one game to another

[elfin hazel]

by the time div3 comes out if it does get made we could be onto next gen already

[fast harness]

If ubi doesn't get their head out of their ass they'll be moving into bankruptcy

[covert sphinx]

are the fal ar's bad? ik they're getting buffed soon but i don't really see anyone use them. just got a great roll on one

[hybrid ore]

As of right now they're fairly underpowered. But if you find them fun, you enjoy them.
Just be aware that you have to go uphill to make them as usable as other ones.

[covert sphinx]

wdym?

[hybrid ore]

Famas/c7/police m4 are the current meta, but once buffed that is likely going to be more balanced out.

keep an eye out for the p416, it seems to be coming back into the fold.

[covert sphinx]

i've been farming countdown for a carbine 7 all night and the only one i've gotten was terrible

[hybrid ore]

If you're going for absolutely pure meta, famas is the leader right now, but that's going to change in a month and a bit so

[covert sphinx]

i haven't gotten any good famases either lol

[undone timber]

FAMAS will likely be phased out by the buffed F2000

[covert sphinx]

that one i do actually have. got a shield splinterer with dttoc with pretty much maxed everything

[undone timber]

The one I'll end up using is EB

[hybrid ore]

Right now Strained and Fast Hands are the "best 2" Talents, but Optimist is certainly a good 3rd place.

[undone timber]

Been waiting for a reason to use it

[hybrid ore]

Time is a flat-circle in the world of div2 for sure.

[covert sphinx]

is the ak-m in the same spot of being not great but maybe better in resolve?

[undone timber]

Pretty much everything that isn't great now will be better by the time resolve rolls out

[covert sphinx]

oh i don't think the ak-m is actually getting touched. oops

[undone timber]

Better not necessarily being good though

[hybrid ore]

The goal of Resolve' is to buff underpowered and underused items, the ak series 100% fits both of those categories.

[covert sphinx]

i just don't see them in the assault rifles section

[hybrid ore]

There's going to be a 2nd PTS.

[covert sphinx]

ah, okay

[hybrid ore]

This should cover most of what we know: #news-and-announcements message

One item I'm very curious to see what the buffs are like, is on the Cold Relations. Perfect Strained Talent, but on a pp19.

[covert sphinx]

i actually have a god roll on that too sitting in my inventory

i tried it once right after getting ouro and it just didn't feel as good

[undone timber]

Ouro'll make anything pale in comparison damage wise

[hybrid ore]

Yeah but Ouro is boring.

It's like, I'm sure Striker will still be the meta, but with the 3pc buffs coming in for Brandsets, there's going to be way more options for that now too.
