[hybrid ore]

m870, etc

[kind veldt]

and last time we had strong AND fast shotgun with double barrel it never got better

gah, meant single shot

[analog summit]

This one just has 1 shot in its capacity, it would have to be a crazy heavy hitter

[hybrid ore]

We also have a lever-action rifle already, in the form of the 1887.

it's not great, fun to use, but not great.

[kind veldt]

1886 the rifle
1887 terminator shotgun

[undone timber]

Re implement Cassidy

[copper shoal]

Winchester Model 37 is Single Shot Shotgun

[hybrid ore]

fun fact: the "Virginian" named 1887 was originally called the australian, because of the p/boomerang talent.

[kind veldt]

if devs dont want to buff the double barrel ot give it higher damage, a single barrel would be a direct downgrade

[copper shoal]

heroic is to easy now with boomstick

[undone timber]

Shame it didn't stick lol

[hybrid ore]

as an Australian, I fully endorse the joke name.

[tender wave]

delicatessen vibes

l'australien

[hybrid ore]

we just call it a "deli" here.

[undone timber]

Heroic is too easy a lot of ways you slice it

That's why we got legendary and stuff

[undone timber]

Same in the uk

[copper shoal]

we need legendary openworld

[undone timber]

No

It simply wouldn't work

[lone valve]

Legendary open world is like so much work lol

If you really think about it

[tender wave]

...can't tell if you're just joking or genuinely don't get the reference: Delicatessen is a very weird but entertaining french film, worth a watch if you like surreal black humour

[lone valve]

That's smth for div 3 not 2

[hybrid ore]

most of our base language is just "the UK but country"

[full zinc]

Upon spawn they disrupt. You're seeing a secondary disrupt after they spawn if you're seeing charging

[undone timber]

Ahh

[hybrid ore]

didn't get it. A deli is basically where you get sliced meat and cheese and stuff from here.

[kind veldt]

Floor 100 i remember seeing them charging first

[hybrid ore]

there's a really good vegan friendly one near my place.

[tender wave]

yeah, the delicatessen in the film derives its name from the same thing, but it's a bit...darker. The film features a weapon called l'australien though

[hybrid ore]

I won't watch it, but sounds interesting.

[lone valve]

I'll refrain from making the obligatory boomerang joke

[tender wave]

it's really worth a watch, very very odd in a french way, but very very dark too

[hybrid ore]

I got through the original Suspiria, that was enough weird for me.

[tender wave]

like a cross between Amelie and the Chris Morris comedy series 'Jam'

[soft badge]

sever closed?

[full zinc]

Pretty sure they disrupt there as they span as well 🤔

Throughout the whole fight they are charging

[undone timber]

They're such drama queens appearing in a cloud of smoke and messing up your tech

[full zinc]

Fr

Only to get stuck in place and wiped 🤣

[undone timber]

I find it amusing that you have to hunt down the open world hunters

[steep void]

anyone else unable to boot up the game?

[woeful drum]

I can’t. I keep getting services not available

[magic atlas]

just booted up div 2 seems fine

[steep void]

that’s what i was getting

[magic atlas]

momentary server issues perhaps?

[steep void]

i just reset my xbox and tried again and i’m in now

[lone valve]

Max ensnare resistance mod just what I was looking for!

[real creek]

All the better for foam ally!

[prisma beacon]

am i the only person that whispers 'dark whisper' to themselves repeatedly before opening named caches?

[real creek]

Dark winter??

[prisma beacon]

yeah, dark winter

that's probably why im not getting it, thanks brother

[real creek]

Don't you get one from the manhunt missions?

[prisma beacon]

do tell..

[real creek]

Not much else to tell. Do thing get thing.

[prisma beacon]

which thing? hunt whom?

[real creek]

Manhunt?

[prisma beacon]

like any of em?

[real creek]

No like the current season one.

Have you already done it?

[prisma beacon]

yeah, like a dozen times

[real creek]

Oh you had the bugs.

[prisma beacon]

i hate that fight

nah, i was just helping folks because someone helped me, payed it forward

i just dont wanna do DZ, aint got the blood pressure for it

[real creek]

Idk I wouldn't hold your breath on dark winter, it's okay.

[prisma beacon]

im just a vector simp, thats the real reason

[real creek]

Got the ouro then huh?

[prisma beacon]

...

working on it

[real creek]

I do help people in the pub discords run it, tons of people helping all over for it too.

[fluid meadow]

Heartwarming to see the community helping

[prisma beacon]

i tried to get in an incursion and i never even got to start they just cussed at me about low shd and kicked me

[kind veldt]

sharing is caring

[real creek]

Well I'm not worried about that. If you really want help I can see about helping teach/run it with you if you'd like. (after work in like 6ish hours from now tho).

[prisma beacon]

ill ping you after i eat dinner then

thanks

[alpine gale]

ooh 5hrs downtime tomorrow atm

[white hazel]

"Tomorrow atm" 🤔 but I had a quetion; does the Lady Death melee bonus work if shield is equipped?

[lone valve]

Yea

Ur still holding it with the shield

[white hazel]

Awesome, then another question; if I have a lvl40 lady death in my stash and I'm playing with a new character and I'm lvl 15, is there a way to craft a lvl15 lady death?

Or "convert" the level somehow

[lone valve]

Don't think so no

[tender wave]

you might be able to reconfigure it to lvl 30 once you get there using the reconfigure blueprints in the crafting table, but I doubt it'd work at any lower level than that

not every exotic can be reconfigured down to lvl 30 though

[white hazel]

Damn, well, I'll try that but rip the dream I guess

thanks though guys

[kind veldt]

Only 30 and 40

[tender wave]

you wouldn't be spending long enough at lvl 15 for it to be worth it really anyway, the cost (including an exotic component) would be too high to keep adjusting it every few levels

[white hazel]

yeah that's probably true :|

jesus christ I just did the Anomalous Mission, I completely forgot what it was about :D chills

[serene elk]

gotta love Guardian event

makes propaganda broadcast so much easier

[summer crescent]

geez, alot of deltas today...

got 4th in 5 min...

[lone valve]

Expertise level 20 at last 😌

[opal radish]

Me 9 levels away from 24

[lime fulcrum]

i thought it is bug that i stuck on 24 and 9 levels away to 25 😂

[serene elk]

farming for expertise rn. Mindless farming go!

[green cedar]

Can someone do me a solid and see if holsters are formable in the open world today?

[real creek]

Potomac event center.

[green cedar]

You’re a bro, thanks dude 🫡🫡

[frozen osprey]

Those heroic check points are the worst lol

[serene elk]

not when your gun fires like an ouro and you can pick everyone up while they are stunned, and at the same time refill your shield bar

[real creek]

The ouro during that event just sounds wild.

I can't wait to do GB with it just for the lolz

[serene elk]

That reminds me
I have to turn sound on sometimes

like sometimes you turn sound off during farming to listen to youtube

and then you just never turn in back on

[frozen osprey]

I don't have that luxuary lol

[real creek]

Is this one of those "I'm deaf" things? I have played with hearing impared people in this game before tho.

[frozen osprey]

Is the tower the best way to farm exotics or running missions?

Its been so long since I've played I'm trying to get gear and stuff back like I had it on my console account

[real creek]

Countdown on challenging diff.

It's got selectable targeted loot, approx 40 items per 15-17 minute run including about 5-10 named items, every two successful runs you can buy an exotic cache at the vendor.

[frozen osprey]

countdown? where do I see that at?

are you talking about descent?

[serene elk]

its at the pilot

doesn't appear on the map till you have done General Anderson Manhunt I think

[real creek]

It's called countdown. You can see it on the upper right of the map near summit, in the matchmaking tab in your map, or at the pilot as mentioned.

[serene elk]

it's at the power plant

[real creek]

You just need to finish wony to unlock it.

[serene elk]

I just play a lot of games with sound off, usually ones where I turn my brain off

[real creek]

Shid I guess we should have asked if they were level 30 or had WONY....

[serene elk]

but it doesn't officially show on the map I think till Anderson, you can still play it tho

I think I had that issue 😭 I was selecting targetted loot through summit

[frozen osprey]

I have wony and level 40

[serene elk]

you can start it at the pilot

should be relatively easy to find

[frozen osprey]

ohh I see it now thanks

[serene elk]

and you can select what loot to find but pressing H on either the countdown icon or on the summit

both achieve the same effect

just whatever you can find first

on the map that is

[frozen osprey]

Would that be better than running missions for specific exotics?

[serene elk]

yes should be

and it's better for your general loot grabbing expierience

[subtle kestrel]

Hey guys I have a question so I’m looking for a AR and a Smg which ones are solid if not the best that is either easy or some what hard that doesn’t include raids or the hardest difficulty? Bc rn I’m rocking the lady death which doesn’t seem that bad to me and a UIC16 mod2

Also I’m looking for some exotic ARs? I see that the bank headquarters has that loot what could I get except the doctor home?

[real creek]

Doctor home is a rifle btw, for AR you'd see Elmo, chameleon, capacitor if you've gotten one already.

[hexed moss]

So the descent has released since a while now. Yet there's still a bug you get when you get shot through walls and cover by the Nemesis and then you get an infinite loop of loading screens. The first issue is already frustrating but when you add the infinite loading issue on top it's a great mix. Some proper coding and QT as always 😀

[pure bridge]

Salut y'a des français

[hexed moss]

@pure bridge Je te conseilles de trouver un discord fr pour div2 (c'est facile a trouver il n'y en a pas bcp) mais ici c'est quasiment 100% anglophone

[pure bridge]

@hexed moss bah je suis déjà sur des discord de mais y'a pas grand monde sur les discord... X)

[hexed moss]

@pure bridge ben le jeu est sorti début 2019 et malgré les saisons qu'ils ajoutent il y a très peu de nouveau contenu donc même sur pc il n'y a pas grand monde malheureusement

[pure bridge]

@hexed moss bah oui je me doute bien mais du coup compliqué de trouver des joueurs x) on essaye de recruter avec mon clan mais du coup compliqué quoi

[hexed moss]

@pure bridge Ok, alors tu peux aller dans le canal https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/535048747705696284 et préciser que tu recrutes exclusivement des joueurs français. Ca te donnera plus de visibilité

[pure bridge]

@hexed moss thx 🙂

[hexed moss]

De rien 😉

[hexed moss]

Do you guys know if dealing damage with the emp + vile mask gives you the enemy position in pvp ?

[real creek]

It would show a status effect over them yeah.

But that's only if you or them are rogue.

[hexed moss]

@real creek fyi i'm talking about conflict. I suppose it's the same status

because Im' running a 100% pulse resist build but always get spotted with emp+vile

[real creek]

@prisma beacon DMs slid into about that thingy.

[prisma beacon]

gimme 5?

[vagrant marten]

When a build guide says 1p Grupo wht's the name of the set?

[tropic pilot]

Grupo

[vagrant marten]

Petrov defense group?

[tropic pilot]

No, grupo

[undone timber]

No grupo sombra

[vagrant marten]

oh ok ty

[loud bay]

Is sacrum imperium dz exclusive?

[full zinc]

nope

its actually a fairly common mmr drop in countdown

[loud bay]

[maiden pelican]

I hope the Grand Washington Hotel gets invaded this week if not I will have to wait for another week.

[limber torrent]

When do incursion chest box reset?

[undone timber]

Mondays

[elder badger]

on final project for regulus can you get the exotic components from discovery mode?

[midnight salmon]

#server-status message

5 hours
okay

[stoic bane]

only from normal

[cunning forum]

they will only see the status when you are near enough that they would see nametag but you probably got spotted by the spotter drone

[coral musk]

I missed the Yuletide mask again this year 😦

[undone timber]

Oof

[azure lintel]

5h damn

[nocturne sandal]

It should be. I just need the Blueprint for Nemesis, and I've been waiting 2 weeks. This would be the 3rd.

[undone timber]

Expect it to be longer

[azure lintel]

What is it even for

[undone timber]

At one point people had to wait something like 8 weeks

[undone timber]

Some kind of PvP patch or something such

[azure lintel]

Ah not a huge fan of the pvp on div 2 so thats whatevs for me, I prefer div 1 way more lol

[nocturne sandal]

Really? That's... Very dumb. I assumed the missions to unlock the stronghold were the same. I haven't paid enough attention apparently. Lol

[molten spire]

the stronghold cycle is fine

[nocturne sandal]

They should just let people switch to Invaded whenever, but still have the specific ones to unlock the strongholds.

[molten spire]

the problem is that only Invaded Grand Washington Hotel drops the blueprint once you have all the pieces, and the RNG for that can get silly]

[full zinc]

only need 2 pieces for GWH to drop the blueprint...

any week it is invaded you can get the blueprint, just need to grab the tidal piece then rerun whatever stronghold is invaded, then rerun GWH invaded

[nocturne sandal]

GWH was invaded for me when I got the first piece. That's where I'm at. Lol. So I probably won't get it for a while I guess.

[weak eagle]

when does this season end?

[rigid wedge]

Better get it in 7 minutes

[rigid wedge]

I think 3 weeks from now

[weak eagle]

ok i got time

[main brook]

Is it really gonna take 5 hours for the server to do its thing?

[rigid wedge]

Probably

[main brook]

Great

[rigid wedge]

Maybe longer

[cyan narwhal]

get yourself snacks cuz chat might get spicy at some point

[rigid wedge]

I just turned in my shd req and got an max damage memento

now onto playing new vegas or something else while massive figures something out

[nocturne sandal]

Hopefully they can figure out that thing that swaps Y axis randomly sometimes.

It usually fixes itself after about a minute but still a pain in the butt if it happens during a firefight.

[jovial kindle]

Hey guys, seeking some advice on what to do as a returning player. I have played trough the WON dlc and gotten to shd lvl on my old account that I lost access to. I have now started a new character and have leveled it to lvl 25. Wondering if I should maybe wait on getting the DLC until I have finished everything that the base game offers, like leveling the specializations etc.? Or is it better to get the DLC, as it boosts you to lvl 30, if I remeber correctly?

[reef reef]

If you feel that you remember most that the game shows/tells you and you are okay with missing out on the related story achievements, then yea, might as well get the DLC. For a first timer its still reccomended to run through all the story, though

[jovial kindle]

I'd like to play through the story once more, but I'm a bit confused about the leveling system. When I played through the game the first time, right after finishing the story I jumped to the DLC. But from what I understand, you can lvl up your character to lvl 40 in the base game? And when going over to the DLC, does that progress stay? And what happens to the item score of my build? Sorry if the questions are a bit daft, as I did leave this game for about 2 years due to performance issues on pc.

[shy musk]

5 hour downtime

shaking and crying

[shy musk]

iirc your gear score gets replaced with the 30-40 level system once you go to ny

[tender wave]

Yup, until you head to NY you can't level above 30, and you have gear score instead. Once you leave, gear score vanishes (technically it's still there but hidden and not worth paying attention to) and you can level up to 40.

[jovial kindle]

Got it, thanks👍

[shy musk]

i need screenshots of dz east

cant find pics of the landmarks and stuff 😭

[inner mason]

How long has the maintenance been going on for?

[placid citrus]

no way theres maintenence every tuesday

a lil frustrating since tuesday is the only time i get to play after coming from school 😔

[azure lintel]

Started <t:1705393800:R>

[sick heath]

when's the maintenance be done for Pacific time?

[rough citrus]

in like 3 hours from now

5 hour maintenance instead of 3 for some reason

[sick heath]

Thank you

[maiden pelican]

The Grand Washington Hotel didn't get invaded, time to wait for another week.

[shy musk]

need ravenous

[inner mason]

Bet ya 5 bucks it'll get extended

[dapper sapphire]

Exactly. It's like every week now. Pretty annoying

[dapper atlas]

Weekly maintenance has always been a thing, it's the exception when there's no maintenance.

[opal radish]

@full zinc 🍻🍺🍺🍿🍿

[open comet]

I dont suppose the 'fix' to the Festive Backpack also includes the adding of the necessary PvP modifier because prior it had none.

Throwing nades to the feet has to be fixed.

It shouldnt be dealing 2.5M base damage in PvP, thats what like 3-4x the strength of a frag or even more?

[rough citrus]

it’s dealing pve dmg in pve when the grenade transfers

same bug with status effects when you die

[errant ember]

server back yet?

[dapper sapphire]

Might have been. I haven't been playing that long yet 🙂 but taking servers down every week at least for 3 hrs seems quite an odd way to handle bug fixes.

[dapper atlas]

It's not always bug fixes, most of the times it's just general server maintenance.

[dapper sapphire]

Then it's even worse. I guess they should invest in better servers that doesn't need weekly maintenance. I mean they earn enough right?

[dapper atlas]

It's not just Massive doing weekly maintenance. It's a normal thing to do.

[random quest]

Most larger servers has a weekly maintenance.
Steam overall has a weekly maintenance.
WoW has weekly maintenance.
Division 2. I can keep going. Just like your own pc needs to be rebooted, servers do.

[full zinc]

Wouldn't an infrastructure maintenance be just the type of investment you mention 🍿

[dapper sapphire]

I'm noticing it probably coz it fall under my play time I guess.

[full zinc]

What's good 🍻 🍿

[random quest]

Luck of the draw when it comes to worldwide games, your own timezone and sleep schedule. I get it, I'm itching to get on to play aswell, but a month from now I'll be at uni when maintenance is up.

[dapper sapphire]

Where is the largest playerbase for division 2 located?. If it US that might make sense if they do it when it's late night for the US.

[full zinc]

They perform maintenance during their normal work hours

[random quest]

Yeah, and seeing as massive entertainment's headquarters is in Sweden, 9:30 CET is shortly after they meet in

[full zinc]

If that happens to be your time to shine, then it's bad luck

I'm sure they would love to come in @ midnight their time totally messing up their sleep/family schedule just to make sure your timezone didnt suffer a short maintenance

Peak karen attitude. 💯

[random quest]

We're not being Karen's, he had a valid question and thought process. Depending on the game, there might be regional maintenance such as in WoW, however for Division it's worldwide maintenance.
It makes sense that a weekly maintenance is during work hours. Emergency maintenances are usually at night - speaking from experience.

[full zinc]

It wasnt aimed at you. And this occurs every maintenance... someone always getting put out and venting. Negative reinforcement goes a long way sometimes 🤔

Division isnt a critical service. Like phone or power

[dapper atlas]

They didn't really vent though, they asked a question, stated themselves that they are new to the game so they didn't know that it's a normal thing to happen on a Tuesday. Probably don't know how server maintenance works (hell I don't know how it works, it's a mystery to me ) and acknowledged themselves that they probably only notice it because it's at a time they wanted to play.

That's not venting, not even close to what we often get in here during maintenance times. Just a normal conversation.

[placid citrus]

maybe the real division is the player base and server maintainence

[dapper sapphire]

Thank you

[full zinc]

Eh it is what it is🍻 🍿

[dapper atlas]

Yea, it's you trying to create "beer and popcorn drama". And from now on I don't wanna see anything like it anymore!

[dapper sapphire]

What are the advantages of dedicated servers over P2P?

[placid citrus]

search gta online servers

[dapper sapphire]

I guessing easier to hack?

[placid citrus]

nah its a joke i have 0 knowledge on that

[random quest]

Main server maintenance that I've personally performed has been some weekly ones, which mainly consisted of rebooting and restarting the services, making sure everything booted back up correctly. Outside of that I've done a few scheduled emergency maintenances which mainly consisted of software updates and configuration.
I figure a weekly maintenance within the industry is something along those lines.
I absolutely understand the frustration from a consumer side, but we tend to forget how even if a service has a promised 99% uptime, that's still 88 hours a year of downtime - and that's not including regular maintenance.

[solemn marsh]

tbh, it would be incredibly unusual to not have weekly maintenance on a live service game

[placid citrus]

Stability and Reliability
Reduced Host Advantage
Security
Scalability
Consistency
Matchmaking

[random quest]

It's mainly about data integrity and the scale of the game. If you take a game like Borderlands, it's 1-4 players co-op, but a singleplayer game at its core. P2P works here, because you save the game locally.
On a game like The Division your data is stored on the server.

Other advantages are as muffin man mentions.

[dapper sapphire]

That makes sense.

[full zinc]

No, the statements just hit wrong and sounded a bit entitled... but sure thing boss ✅

[random quest]

All in the eyes of the beholder. All I saw was a person without the technical knowledge.

[full zinc]

Are we on a 1hr eta at this point or has there been an extension?

[random quest]

No extension yet, however last week they extended it 12 minutes before it was supposed to go live. Fingers crossed.

[serene elk]

woke up at 1pm, hit by server maintenence

Any Xbox gamers looking for a teammate to help out with casual stuff around the map ?

[candid stag]

How many hours left for the maintenance?

[steep crest]

hi

[candid stag]

Hla

[dusty walrus]

New game mode will be added to this game in future

[wet monolith]

are the servers supposed to be up now or in 45 minutes?

[random quest]

45 mins left of maintenance as of now.

In general, I enjoy the Global Events, and having just looked up the expected changes in Project Resolve (I mean, what a time to get back in the game with that around the corner) it seems like they're gonna be improved a ton. Excited to see if minions taking 15% of incoming damage instead of being invincible will fix the horror that is when the Angel is picked to be the boss or just stays behind while 2-3 runners get up in your face. Otherwise I wish the Angel pick would prefer the runners.

See Rule 7 in #rules

[steep crest]

[errant ember]

Is server back alone yet?

Oh nvm just read chat

[dawn relic]

lol im glad today i come back home late

now i only need to wait for 15min

[heavy dirge]

that's optimisn!

[dawn relic]

no need to touch grasses for the next 10 yrs

[random flint]

Boys I need some assistance in a decision, now I’m close to getting a pc and debating if I should start again on pc or just only play on console. Any thoughts would be great

[placid citrus]

start agn cuz thats most of the fun ngl

[open comet]

P2P is a nightmare in this day and age, can only work on good communities in sparse regions where the experience can be better than a high latency dedicated option

[edgy mason]

does someone know why does the castle settlement on my account is gray even tho i have finish the mission?

[paper crystal]

if its the ps5, just stay there, it already runs at 60fps

[dawn relic]

ITS UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[glad dawn]

thank you

[inner mason]

Patch notes?

[random flint]

The only issue is that there’s not that many players in my region that still play so I can rarely actually matchmake for any kind of activity In my own region

[paper crystal]

that will still happen on pc, unless you use a VPN

[random flint]

I mean your not wrong but being on pc comes with a bigger player base then on ps5

[inner mason]

Can we recal the backpack now?

No lol just checked

What the fuck did they fix then?

[full zinc]

Infrastructure, and possible fix for it in pvp.

[hasty viper]

3 weeks and still no grand washington invaded mission to get nemesis blueprint

[hybrid ore]

It's been over a month between GWH being invaded before, this isn't new.

On the plus side, you will be 100% ready to finish the Project by the time it rolls around.

[fair lake]

I swear, I remember one of the previous patches supposed to fix it earlier

[tender wave]

Apparently they fixed it then accidentally reverted the fix again

Version control is something that happens to other people

[maiden pelican]

Crafting the Nemisis MMR takes like 3 to 7+ weeks.

[real creek]

lol helped some guys run incursion the other day then hung out and taught them about the game and did some open world, decided to open my GE exotic caches to see if I could get something good and was able to drop one of them a nemesis. GG RNG gods.

[shut dune]

Hello all

[real creek]

Mellow

[opal radish]

Halo

[real creek]

You get another regulus and ouro yet?

[opal radish]

Working on it

[opal radish]

Clan run when

[real creek]

Breh I suck at the raid. We just need to get people taught on different roles that have gaps currently.

[opal radish]

Says the speed running soul

[maiden pelican]

I still didn't have any luck for them yet. Also, I hardly have anyone participating the raid.

[real creek]

Doesn't matter if I have 15 minute IH runs, I learned how to speed run one role thru the entire thing. I was good at it but all the other roles I haven't actually done. I've never done diag, key tank, I've tried letters twice(never successfully), don't have a magic build/furnace tank build/hazpro build/any nego builds. I'm not as good at IH as people think.

[undone timber]

I tried my best to be well rounded but I don't have much experience doing anything non dps on Williams

[real creek]

I do feel lucky and thankful to the friends I've made that know every bit of the raid and they usually pick up roles I can't do. I just need to get time and put some reps onto other roles and learn how to do all these different things. Also having like 4-5 loadouts set up for speed running kinda messes with what I can have for build loadouts.

[undone timber]

Ought to start with key tank

That should ease you into it

[real creek]

I don't think key tank is a big deal. Head hunting, diag, letters, and forge tank are on the top of the list really.

[undone timber]

Headhunting is just killing the snipers and killing the chungas afaik

[real creek]

Yeah but the rotation and spot you aim to crack them thru the door is what I need to learn.

[undone timber]

Ah

[real creek]

Yeah there is also a time when you need to use the tac 50 cause the train car and turret hit box.

[serene elk]

if I'm ever forced to headhunt I'm sorry to everyone I ever raid with

😭 aiming is not easy

it's 100% a skill issue

[timber hatch]

Control room (normal strat), cogs, and stagger tank are the kind of roles you need to learn since those actually take some knowledge, and not enough people know them so you can get stuck on those roles with no one else available. Diag is just holding a button, fieser tank is just pressing water

And headhunting isn't necessary, just a luxury to have one tbh

[undone timber]

People tend not to like playing stagger at all because click click click

[real creek]

I want that luxury tho.

[real creek]

I don't mind stagger. It's easy af and in speed runs it's like a mini game of how fast you can do it lol.

[small spear]

shows off skillz

[serene elk]

IH is the reason I like DH better

[undone timber]

I derive more fun from IH

[real creek]

I did 600 DH raids in year 1 including speeds which meant a bunch of resets on boomer. I may not be up to par with current strats for speeds but that raid is cake.

[serene elk]

I mean its a nice raid and all

[real creek]

It's chill, it's nice to pop one off to relax a bit after work.

[serene elk]

what's like the fastest raid times you guys get on speedruns

[timber hatch]

It's still cake for 90% of the roles

[urban elbow]

came back to TD2 after years and now it gives me motion sickness. wtf. Trying the usual suspects (fov, motion sickness mode, depth of field, aberration) to see if I find what's happening

[timber hatch]

What's your frame rate at?

[urban elbow]

over 80, acording to the nvidia overlay

should I stick it at 60?

[serene elk]

shouldn't you want a higher framerate compared to a lower

I'm trying to grasp in my head what would be better

[urban elbow]

apparently you want it stable

without much variation

[serene elk]

that makes sense

[real creek]

IH open doors-15:35
IH closed doors(WR for a month or so)-16:21
DH year 1-7:43

[serene elk]

what's open vs closed doors

[real creek]

IH used to have doors open that aren't supposed to be, it allowed someone to run all the way to boss 2 while you were clearing railyard and shaved off about 30ish seconds? I forget the exact number.

[serene elk]

oh is that why they made the key thing

[real creek]

Key thing?

[serene elk]

wait I am definitely being slow rn

NVM different game

it's hard to think

[real creek]

It do be yo

[serene elk]

I just dodged rolled into a guardian bomb on a heroic mission

yeah I think today is not the day to be my brain

[neon wyvern]

lol

playing HHF with m870 on guardians with hyenas special ammo is an experience

[astral jacinth]

Is guardians still up?

[serene elk]

still up for a while

...melee attacks remove gaurdian immunity?

[neon wyvern]

been like that

[serene elk]

so when I'm being immobiliser rushed and can't hit the guardian hiding behind a wall 400m away

you're telling me I didn't have to die

[hollow obsidian]

Wow that’s news to me 😂 then again it’s my first time doing guardians.

[neon wyvern]

Read the GE description next time

[serene elk]

I've read it like 3 times 😭

it doesn't say that anywhere

[sick thicket]

anyone familair with the mop achilles pulse build for lovebirds? forgot to inspect someone i saw using it

[undone timber]

Huh why the mop

[sick thicket]

idk if it was the mop or the unnamed variant

but that dude was soloing lovebirds in a carry incursion with it

[neon wyvern]

Another player discovers that six12 is a good shotgun

Why no scorpio tho

[sick thicket]

probably flatline

[neon wyvern]

and why no acs

[sick thicket]

you're asking the person asking questions why a person is using something

or isnt

[lone valve]

@opal radish heard ur running a incursion with all 5.11

[opal radish]

Retirement party

[timber hatch]

That sounds like a dumb idea

[lone valve]

Heard raucey in it too

[neon wyvern]

sadge

[lone valve]

Is it 6 piece 5.11 or just like 4 at minimum

[opal radish]

6pcs 5.11 only ninjabike is allowed

[lone valve]

5.11 healer incoming

[opal radish]

Already have that with emphatic resolve and opportunistic

[neon wyvern]

Incoming repairs coming in clutch

[lone valve]

Incoming repairs to repair his Brain from 5.11

[pliant sentinel]

new name .

[opal radish]

Yeah what do you think

[pliant sentinel]

new year new meme

[prisma beacon]

ouro has minigun firerates with guardians and its absurd

brrrrt

[real creek]

Active A10 warthog mode.

[versed summit]

Anyone wanna run?

[neon wyvern]

all auto guns become miniguns when guardian or golden bullet buff

[neon wyvern]

no

I sit

[real creek]

Exercise is good for you bro.

[magic atlas]

That's what the treadmill is for

[neon wyvern]

gotta have div2 agent stamina irl

[versed summit]

lmao.

yall know what I mean 😂

[prisma beacon]

i wanna say bless you every time i mag dump

[real creek]

lol don't worry about it. Was some good chill runs.

[prisma beacon]

that was fun

[urban elbow]

well playing from further away with a controller made the sickness a little better, but still not great. ffs. I wonder what changed on the expansion or... on the last 4 years I guess. I had 200 hours on TD2 so I doubt I had this sickness problem before

of course that was back in 2019

and I wasn't 44

[prisma beacon]

i noticed a some sickness during the recruiter fight, all the color changes and screen shake, theres a motion sick mode in accessability settings

it helped me a little

minimize your FoV as well

take regular breaks and stretch your eyes, there are videos on youtube about how to do it

[open ocean]

So... I've finished all the story missions and now I have no idea what to do

I tried running DZ but thats nigh impossible by myself. Thats really what I did in the end of D1. Am I just supposed to run bounties and level up my watch?

[kind veldt]

go do the manhunt and level up the season pass

then do the previous manhunts to unlock their extras

and then back to grinding builds the way you want

[hollow obsidian]

And Try doing other modes like the summit, countdown, and grinding for better gear, weapons, etc.

[neon wyvern]

what color changes

I don't remember much color changes

[kind veldt]

think the EMP blast increases chromatic aberration

[cobalt fossil]

Just crashed when i was about to extract from countdown... i want to die

[versed summit]

really could use someone to finish heroics up.

fml

[serene elk]

"No VIP"
"Takes too long"

VIP encounter complete before hostiles
4 people doing hostiles
3 people doing VIP

[neon wyvern]

The no vip community rule is very dumb IK

If yall failing vip then there's bigger problems then vip

don't run 50 miles to avoid vip that's a bigger time loss

[serene elk]

it takes 30 seconds to fail VIP 😭 if you can't pick him up in that time you ain't very smart

[neon wyvern]

Exactly

you're team is NOT making it to extraction if you fail like that

[serene elk]

and it's always the SHD level 1000+

I swear SHD means nothing in this game

[neon wyvern]

Bro the double digit shds been having the meta builds lately

[serene elk]

yesterday I saw a SHD 200 be confused that hunters can hack skills

😭

[neon wyvern]

how are these grandpas shd 3000 and still trash

[neon wyvern]

What skipping to NYC does a mf(relatable)

[lone valve]

"This obj here is much closer than the one I'm heading to and look at that everyone is heading to the closest objective not to the one I'm heading to
Fucking losers why are they going to the closest one reeee"

[neon wyvern]

Only reason to not do vip is if you're actually time constrained

Which you shouldn't be

Vip actually has more named enemies then eliminate hostiles so if ur after loot it's actually optimal

I hope whoever made that "rule" quit the game

[lone valve]

Don't tell people that they'll tell you the vip objective steals ur wife and kids if you try and do it

[neon wyvern]

It causes me more problems then it should

[serene elk]

and half the time it just splits the group

cause everyone is confused

[neon wyvern]

yeah just go to the closest objective

[real creek]

Have a good leader who picks what you go to and just go there.

[neon wyvern]

everyone will follow you if ur in front when it comes to MM

thankfully

[real creek]

I don't really need to run countdown but when I do I try to get a group of 3-6 together, at least then I know we can carry anything we MM to fill.

[astral jacinth]

Damn people actually bought the recruiter apparel

[full zinc]

yeah quite a few it seems 😆

[lone valve]

I mean it's their money

[full zinc]

can still laugh at em

[neon wyvern]

I hate how their crazy business decision worked

[serene elk]

funding the Feburary update 😅

[neon wyvern]

I hope they put that money to good use

Cuz these devs are making bank off of hunter fans

[lone valve]

Game relies on MTX so if some buy it then it's good for them

[astral jacinth]

Don’t care how people spend their money, but now it proves the tactic works, so full steam ahead for Ubi

[serene elk]

scroll through the server and try not to find person with the hunter logo as their pfp challenge(impossible)

[neon wyvern]

The recruiter mask is so MID

outfit is only decent

[real creek]

Tactical diaper, change my mind.

[neon wyvern]

nutsack protector 9000

best defense

[serene elk]

I strongly dislike masks in this game

[lone valve]

Masks are mid in this game anyway
Can't wear any hats or anything with them on
Imo they just look stupid
Div 1 masks are still superior

[full zinc]

season pass, season level skips, apparel key purchases, sell the mask that seemed to be intended as manhunt reward

[neon wyvern]

Deceit mask and gunner mask is my favorite masks

[full zinc]

they making some money

[real creek]

Yeah all the hunter mask that limit all other head options are bleh.

[neon wyvern]

but I've taken a break from deceit I've used the same outfit for like 1500 shd

[serene elk]

I'm currently running around with a beret

[astral jacinth]

Why create dlc expansions when you can sell a set of apparel for the same price

[neon wyvern]

exactly

[lone valve]

I mean they are doing both

[neon wyvern]

hey If the money helps them make real content then it's fine

[full zinc]

basically pushed off a season... and released recruiter...

at this point they are just milking it before shelving

[serene elk]

it's better than season reruns

[full zinc]

just like spec revamp i bet planned dlc will fall by the wayside

[lone valve]

It won't cuz I bet that sets stuff up for div 3

Plus a dlc is very good word of mouth for the game

They want as many players back in the game
Cancelling the dlc would kill that

[full zinc]

ig thats just me being an old stick in the mud.
dlc requires some actual work... considering they are having a hard time with a single backpack i just dont have the same optimism

[lone valve]

And aswell dlc equals money

[full zinc]

did the cristmas bag actually get fixed this time?

[lone valve]

Idk I don't do pvp

[serene elk]

they didn't fix it the first time?

[full zinc]

fixed , broken, current unknown but supposed to fix again

[serene elk]

time to go DZ and find out

[real creek]

Did you see how it was bugged?

[full zinc]

doesnt look that promising , but they did get an incursion made... i think they would have more luck with another incursion/raid as opposed to an entire dlc and just put some of the forward thinking into 3...

[astral jacinth]

How’s your crashes recently

[lone valve]

They have said if this incursion did well why not make another

[full zinc]

it was reverted to self proccing , high pvp damage afaik

[lone valve]

So I wouldn't be surprised

[real creek]

You could use a flame grenade and then while you have something on fire just swap back and forth between grenades and it would do the Christmas explosions every time you swapped grenades.

[full zinc]

oh shit, i didnt realize it went that far

[serene elk]

eh?

[real creek]

Someone sent me a clip and it's just WILD

Maybe fixed now tho.

[full zinc]

thats a pvp killer right there

[serene elk]

that makes a lot of sense actually

I went to DZ once and started dying randomly

I thought it was a hacker but it could have been that too

[full zinc]

ig the nades were hitting for 2+m in pvp

[serene elk]

yeah it would one tap me in 6 blue

[full zinc]

that was the only thing listed with infrastructure for todays down

[fluid meadow]

Solo festive delivery is actually bad

It's the share damage that's broken

If you hit 1 person with it it'll do equivalent damage as a normal concussion (300k or something) not the 3m you see on other players

[full zinc]

have you tested if it is still in that state? ik you pvp a lot

[tepid falcon]

Are the raids in this game similar to destiny raids?

[opal nexus]

the backpack glitch is not fixed

[fluid meadow]

Yeah i was rogue with other members and when i got blown up by one of the concussions it barely did anything to me

But other team members near me got downed

They also can't explode themselves anymore

[indigo ledge]

Is matchmaking dead in base game? cant seem to match for any group areas

[azure lintel]

I'm thinking about making a third character from scratch and making them a Sharpshooter build only. High DPS. Anyone want to join up?

[serene elk]

lots of people have already completed the story missions presumably

[indigo ledge]

unfortunate. Seems im stuck till i can manage to solo them like normal lol

[serene elk]

if you want I'll run it through with you

[indigo ledge]

Nah all good ❤️

[serene elk]

alright

[indigo ledge]

Probably gonna put it off and run the Xpac content lol. assuming there isnt much but first off to work

[prisma beacon]

the menu and hud interference

[somber hedge]

I need to know, is there anyone who actually enjoyed the recruiter fight? This was definitely the least fun i had with the game so far.

[native sparrow]

"Complete the debrief mission to finish manhunt" can someone help me were that is? Just killed recruiter

[neon wyvern]

Me

It's just harder then ur average heroic mission

Definitely run pfe in that mission

[somber hedge]

I did it in a duo by leaving one elite mob alive and just sitting at the railing letting them shoot it while we waited for the timer to tick down to do dmg again. It was just annoying more than difficult

what is pfe?

[real creek]

Protection from elites

[frozen meadow]

protection from elites

[lone valve]

Protection from eels

[somber hedge]

Ah, yea that would have helped. I should really get a loadout with that

[real creek]

Even just swapping in your mod slots will give you enough to really help.

[frozen meadow]

purple fucking elevator

[neon wyvern]

purple fucking electrique

[lone valve]

Holy shit
Protection from eelites

[neon wyvern]

from the open world chest

Again

on heroic diffixutly

[lone valve]

Going away next update
At last

[frozen meadow]

imagine if the manhunt mission had a part where you needed to jump a ledge but if you hit the wrong spot then you die from fall damage

[serene elk]

perfect fucking execution

[frozen meadow]

thank you

[serene elk]

[neon wyvern]

vik manhunt had that except you were forced down the stupid zipline instead of death

[urban elbow]

Thank you for this, it was the question mark

[hollow obsidian]

💀

[real creek]

Pls @elfin hazel be our hero.

[hollow obsidian]

🙌

[serene elk]

speaking of cashapp, my enemies are definitely being paid off

[neon wyvern]

mods, ban this troll

[elfin hazel]

done

[real creek]

Ty!

[serene elk]

I just had a black tusk member SIDESTEP MY FIRE GRENADE

[neon wyvern]

First time?

[serene elk]

not grenade

[hollow obsidian]

Thank you

[serene elk]

sticky

[lone valve]

This is why grenades suck

Oh

[serene elk]

I was aiming the stick and I shot it

[neon wyvern]

[serene elk]

AND HE STEPPED TO THE RIGHT BY 1 STEP

[lone valve]

Sticky grenade I'm a genius ADD IT NOWWW

[neon wyvern]

sniper gameplay without determined be like

[real creek]

Instant use? You know how to?

[neon wyvern]

Head moves one centimeter

misses

🛌

Enemy movement too cracked in this game for precision gameplay

[lone valve]

Meanwhile we get stickied into cover

[real creek]

Aim gun>double tap skill use(or bind instant use key)>profit

[serene elk]

I used it and he sidestepped it during use

[real creek]

Also for bonus points get a center dot on screen and do it while full sprint.

[serene elk]

there is also an option to instant use skills in settings

[neon wyvern]

imagine putting tape on ur screen to use blindfire sticky bomb

we live in a society

[lone valve]

Dedication

[serene elk]

I'm going to start hitting my head against a wall

[real creek]

My monitor has cross hair options so I just use that. I mean gotta do whatcha gotta do.

[still sky]

is there a way to deactivate man hunt? trying to do technician quest at zoo but man hunt is active

[serene elk]

at the start you can "toggle mission mode"

like where you change difficulty

[still sky]

tried it, still doesnt turn off man hunt mode.

[real creek]

Go into where you select difficulty and you'll see at the bottom G to toggle mission mode.

[still sky]

thanks guys

[grand depot]

we're blasting through summit right now, but we are stuck because there is no way to actually proceed to the next floor

this a known issue?

Its not the office room thing with the tarp on a railing

just a dark room and a chest halfway bugged into a planter which says inventory full (even tho it isnt)

[real creek]

Some cabinets you need to climb, no yellow there tho but you'll find it.

[grand depot]

Its also not the hole roof thing IK what you mean

I'd post screens but

🤷‍♂️

[real creek]

#ask-td2-community post there

[grand depot]

kk

ah cool, can post screens there, cheers

[urban elbow]

uhhh what am I supposed to do with those skill parts, like decoy housiung shell

all I can do is dismantle

can't loot or anything, probably something is full somewhere on the inventory?

yes. skill mods was full. thank you.

[serene elk]

yeah they eventually rack up if you don't dismantle them

you don't technically need a second mod if you have 2 equals

[keen sundial]

qUESTI

woops let me try again
Question: Does proficiency apply to hardwired? mine says rank 10 on gear haven't played in a year.

[serene elk]

should apply to all gear

[keen sundial]

Mind if I send you a photo of what i see death was here or is there somewhere I can post it.

[real creek]

#ask-td2-community can post there.

[keen sundial]

Just posted it over there Deathwashere thanks Souless13

[fickle edge]

whats the best lmg talent if you dont care about reload speed? is it unhinged?

or still optimist lol

[rough citrus]

unhinged and frenzy are both good

[lone valve]

Sleipnir with perfect frenzy
I know you said you don't care about reload speed but good times is a good shout tbh

[sand herald]

Anyone got an idea why division 2 runs the 14900k @ 100C?.. I got a corsair Airflow 7000D with 12 fans and iCUE LINK H170i 420mm rad. No other game seems to run my cpu so hot

Always seem to be ubisoft games that run the cpu's into an early grave at that temp

[lapis junco]

my CPU gets abnormally hot in division aswell

not 100C

this is mainly going to be a cooling issue on CPU heavy games

Ubi games for the most part are CPU heavy besides a few

[fickle edge]

yeah im using ninjabike kneepads thats why

i used to use good times but with the GE its really not good

and im not sure if frenzy works on golden bullet

[sand herald]

Well am not sure how much more cooling i can get to be honest

You running a 14900k too ?

[lapis junco]

i run a 12900 atm

[sand herald]

Ah same thing in terms of needing to undervolt etc to keep it cool isn't it?

[lapis junco]

nope, was using a ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II now a EK Nucleus with a pretty standard case fan set up

both stays under 70

div got it up to 82

no other game was gotten it that high

I played around with undervolting but It was never really needed given i dont play a whole lot anymore

[sand herald]

fair enough ^^

[lapis junco]

small overclock but nothing major

try messing around with fan orientation cuz 100C is quite high

[lime fulcrum]

im joking but buy a asus 360 ryujin III 😝

[sand herald]

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww

[lapis junco]

I really like my EK currently

the ARTIC was good too

[sand herald]

Hey i like this iCUE LINK H170i its nice

[lapis junco]

both are slient and keep me very cool even with a pretty garbage case

[open comet]

I dont suppose someone knows if there is an info card on the Festive Delivery bag you know the one the dev team makes, i want to extract an image of just the bag for a thumbnail

[hybrid ore]

Not AFAIK, but photomode is a thing ingame, no reason you can't just get one.
Although I'd be shocked if there's not a single image of it online, probably over on Reddit.

okay found the creator's artstation page. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/g0KlZx

[lone valve]

Internet is a beautiful thing
You can find basically everything if you search hard enough

Why is there a tuxedobandido video in the page lol

[hybrid ore]

Video with the most views that shows off his work, maybe.

[lone valve]

I guess so

[hybrid ore]

This dude has done some really good work, I'm impressed.

[lone valve]

They have stepped up their art tbh
Even the exotics look better
And they redesigned a few aswell

[hybrid ore]

I do mean this person specifically in this case, but I agree the redesigns for the Exotics are fantastic. Capacitor gets a solid A+.

[lone valve]

Bluescreen aswell

[serene elk]

I think I completed a bounty after dying through Eclipse burn

[shrewd magnet]

Mike-01?

[proven cipher]

server down ?

[shrewd magnet]

Apparently, yes

[shrewd magnet]

Tô achando que só foi para nós... BR, se não isso aqui já estaria um alvoroço

Servers up again!

Lol, delta-04

[undone timber]

Delta is usually client side

[azure laurel]

Playing with my buddies through the vanilla maps / campaign missions and having and absolute blast completing stuff. Areas are great graphics are gorgeous , all the lore bits / echo's in the open world are great. Coming from Destiny how have i never tried this before? The whole setting is also amazing. What a gem so far. Hoping that New york is as good as DC so far 🙂

[undone timber]

Enjoy the 1-40 gameplay while it lasts

[shrewd magnet]

Yes, We had a drop in one of the largest concentrators here in Brazil. Apparently it has been partially resolved

They directed traffic to another point.

[latent silo]

heya guys, im new here, i dont see any voice channels, am i missing a role ?

[undone timber]

They were removed

#news-and-announcements

[latent silo]

ah, ok, thank you

[surreal sundial]

Is there any fast way to get my score up

[undone timber]

Score?

[surreal sundial]

When you get max level, that's what it goes to

[undone timber]

Shd level

[subtle kestrel]

Hey guys quick question I’m new here if I want to Elmo’s engine where can I farm or get it ?

[undone timber]

Heroic open world activities with as many directives as you can handle

[undone timber]

Countdown target loot assault rifles

[subtle kestrel]

Do I need any directives?

[rough citrus]

best way is probably matchmaker for challenging countdown

[undone timber]

Nope countdown doesnt have them

[undone timber]

^ challenging is where most are gonna be, dont worry about it being difficult

[subtle kestrel]

Ah ok thanks Chief I’m a noob rn idks

[surreal sundial]

@undone timber If that's what you call it yes i am at 311 get to wt5

[prisma beacon]

now on my 10th sweet dreams lookin for a scorpio

[iron adder]

that's gear score. Progression is 1-30 in DC with gear score going up 500 or so. Then 31-40 in New York. After finishing New York, it's SHD level (infinite).

[surreal sundial]

o ok I wish to the fast way for me to get the wt5

[undone timber]

No faster way

Gotta get through the invasion

[placid citrus]

Whats the website to show builds?

[undone timber]

Check build advice pins

[buoyant cloud]

when is incursion reset?

no key spawned on boss drop

[undone timber]

Mondays

[shy musk]

does scorpio drop from exotic caches

[small spear]

yes

[pliant ibex]

Hey guys, strange question, does anyone know if the alexa easter egg still works?

[mighty trellis]

can i get a story boost?

[carmine bramble]

Will dev ever increase loadouts to be more than 16?

[maiden belfry]

Didn't they mention for every player account, there's only so many attributes it can attach to the account so they can't do more than that?

[plucky yacht]

Anyone have advice on how to farm expertise effectively? Basically have everything except named gear and weapons but it's taking forever

[shy musk]

countdown

for weapons

[plucky yacht]

Countdown feels so unreliable due to quitters or unexperienced players tho

[iron adder]

Just play challenging, very unlikely to fail

Or curate your own group

[rough citrus]

buy items from venders to donate for expertise, use watch points to get credits

[plucky yacht]

Aight thx

[rough citrus]

1 weapon donation gives half a level, gear pieces are more expensive at 5 or 10 pieces per level i forgot which

it’s 10 pieces per level

[maiden belfry]

How is the loot quality?

[rough citrus]

loot quality is good, challenging and heroic countdown seem to drop the same quality so it’s best to do challenging

[undone timber]

The minimum rolls for heroic are higher but the difference isnt a big deal

[agile dagger]

I'm guessing it's not common to find matchmaking at low levels is it?

[undone timber]

Shd levels matchmake with whoever

Actual levels yes much less common

[sick thicket]

cant wait for gear locking!

[undone timber]

Truly one of the updates of all time

[plucky yacht]

Gear locking?

[drowsy bluff]

how hard is it to get btsu glvoes,ive been grinding countdown with gloves targeted loot,havent seen a single glvoes drop

[halcyon radish]

not single one? maybe check targeted loot setting

[fair lake]

you're the first one who likes this crappy idea

[rough citrus]

their reasoning behind it might be the dumbest thing i’ve ever heard

[inner harness]

What is gear locking?

[rough citrus]

no more hot swapping while in combat

still in pts but likely to release

[stark heron]

Probably gonna mess with countdown slightly

[rough citrus]

probably gonna mess w everything

[stark heron]

Ig

More so in countdown in the instance of a support build wanting to change or whatever

If their teammates suck badly

[maiden belfry]

Countdown crash after completing final room still exist, sigh

[inner harness]

What a dumb name it's just no hot swapping

Besides it's meant to be for pvp but they didn't mean to put it in pve but we'll see on the 19th or 22nd

[opal radish]

My name is a peaceful way to protest gear lock implementation

[inner harness]

Gonna destroy speedrunning

[fluid meadow]

"Bro why did you aggro i didn't switch to regulus"

[inner harness]

No razor 1 shot and no Williams 1 shot

[maiden belfry]

I run an off meta build in heroic countdown one time and everything goes to shit

[inner harness]

Leave and rejoin ig

[inner harness]

It's not intended to be in pve anyways

[maiden belfry]

What does that even mean?

[gaunt bolt]

Is it possible to like speed-run the campaign or get a "boost" like it is in td1?

[elfin hazel]

you can skip to level 30 or start at the dlc

[gaunt bolt]

Ah yes I know that but I still want some achievements for the game lol

[elfin hazel]

someone probably could rush you through any mission that would give an achievement yea

[undone timber]

Then you gotta play the game from the start

[gaunt bolt]

Yeah, that's why I asked if it's possible for someone to just run through it quickly

[undone timber]

You can get someone to boost you

[elfin hazel]

#lfg-pc / #lfg-xbox will typically have people

same with the backup feature in game

[gaunt bolt]

Thanks

[undone timber]

Xbox also has built in LFG if you have no luck

[gaunt bolt]

PC player but thanks

[undone timber]

You have the Xbox role

[gaunt bolt]

Used to play on xbox before

[undone timber]

Ah

[dusty rose]

Anyone here on pc/eu that doesnt have warlords of new york?

[gaunt bolt]

Yea

[maiden belfry]

Is ouroboros exclusive to incursion?

[hybrid ore]

Yep, 10% chance from the box at the end, 1% from each boss.

[maiden belfry]

How often does the key reset, is it weekly like raids?

[hybrid ore]

Weekly yeah, but a different time IIRC.

[undone timber]

Mondays instead of tuesdays

[hybrid ore]

Which is incredibly infuriating for those of us that like consistency.

it's like there being a special boss and an MMR both called Nemesis.

[stark heron]

Yep

[elfin hazel]

isn't it supposed to be tuesday as well according to some patch note

[stark heron]

Nemesis MMR should just be renamed to Pucks Nemesis

[hybrid ore]

Nemesis has been in the game since 2019, they can rename the boss.

[stark heron]

Isnt the blueprint called that anyways

[hybrid ore]

Scourge, Scales, Bridle, Tally are the other parts. Or Adrestia for the base bit you break down.
There's a few choices.

[junior thorn]

Hi Rivens saw the name Adrestria I by mistake deccunstructed mine do you know if there is a way to get again.

[hybrid ore]

Actually you can get a 2nd copy (you need to break down one for the Project, dw) by rerunning regular Black Tusk Tidal Basin and not having an Adrestia or Nemesis on that character or in your Stash.

Just move it to a different character. Then re-run it and open the door at the end with the key you find earlier on.

[junior thorn]

thank you I need to make a second agent

[frozen osprey]

whats a good build for running legendary or being a good support

[wet oar]

is it still possible to get Yaahl Gear this days ?

[kind veldt]

Go to DZ or check special vendors

[wet oar]

thanks

[midnight salmon]

hello

[hollow obsidian]

#td2-build-advice

[tired granite]

seems like spamming spacebar to claim a reward... soft locks the game

cant click anything

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens

[tired granite]

imagine being able to play the game... alt f4 it is

[potent condor]

sapher

[dawn relic]

im pissed

i spent 30 min to match an activity, and i constantly matched into a group that keeps wiping

ITS THE SAME GROUP OVER AND OVER AGAIN

[kind veldt]

Cant you see thr name of the host when matchmaking to ignore that specific group?

[pseudo bone]

Is there any way that I can get ACR assalut rifle?

[dawn relic]

no

[pseudo bone]

They removed it?

[abstract folio]

Targeted loot assault rifles

[dawn relic]

ubisoft didnt impose any filters to matching, all blacklisting, all kicking will not stop you from matching to certain group

if you are destined to match with that group, you are locked to that forever and ever

[pseudo bone]

Oh, thank you

[dawn relic]

for the whole fXXXing eternity

[kind veldt]

no i meant if you use matchmaking it usually says "AAAA has sent an invitation" or something

so you can see if it was the same person

[dawn relic]

what?

nice i will try

[ivory pebble]

Have you tried running countdown until you get one with good rolls?

[dawn relic]

no?

the invite didnt tell me the name??

[ivory pebble]

What level are you? Have you reached 40

[dawn relic]

ofc

[kind veldt]

thats odd

because i had that happen before with incursions or etc

[pseudo bone]

I will try

[ivory pebble]

Matchmake for Countdown runs and select AR for targeted loot. Be better if you had a teammate or two do the same to increase your chances

[dawn relic]

today is not the right day to do activity

i gonna sleep

[real creek]

Invites to countdown need to be accepted and show you a user name but normal MM doesn't show you names it'll just auto invite or just load you into someones game.

[subtle kestrel]

So I after doing countdown about 15 times I got the chameleon instead of Elmo engine

Any thoughts on that? Which one is better over all

[astral jacinth]

Will Hermano be fixed with project resolve

[ivory pebble]

I like both. I wish more weapons were viable options in this game. Seems like a striker/elmo build is dps meta. Chameleon has always been fun and cosmetically, it is my favorite. Changing colors, flip screen, drum mag. Wait until you can Damage to Target out of Cover onto it. Chameleon you have to build stacks deoending in shot placement. Elmo is hit them anywhere snd wait for the shock rounds to do their magic. High rpm and 70rd magazine isn't anything to frown at either. I still like to use a P416 and the Super 90 shotguns. Use both and have fun.

[subtle kestrel]

Interesting would you consider the chameleon better than the lady death?

@ivory pebble

[ivory pebble]

I couldn't say. I have no personal experience with the Lady Death. That doesn't fit my play style. I can definitely see it being good based on the talent. Like the Oroborus is cool looking, but I'm hardly getting hit by special ammo, just it's just an A10 Warthog in a subgun. Haha. All I hear is brrrrrrttttt

[white hazel]

Anyone else use booster hive? Pretty fun to use, at least in the campaign with a skill build.

[timber hatch]

Booster is niche, but in the right situation (main group boss fights) it's very strong

[white hazel]

Yeah I thought it might turn more useless in the end game :D

[ivory pebble]

Isn't booster used a lot in the incursion final boss fight to dump nasty dps and keep you immune from their flame grenades, etc? I've only run it twice and both times aomeone used a booster whilst the healer overcharged it

[small spear]

that's exactly why it's used yeah, but outside of that it's niche

[ivory pebble]

Ok, kinda figured that was the case. Didn't they "nerf" the booster some time back?

[small spear]

yeah after wony i think?

it used to boost movement speed

[ivory pebble]

Seems about right

[real creek]

Good old days of high knee running

[ivory pebble]

Oh yea, that's right. Man, remember when we could hipfire and move quicker as well? It was clutch when DH raid would slap you with the sniper dogs.

[lone valve]

Yea they kinda don't like people hip firing

[tardy frost]

https://x.com/envykeener/status/1747673200488566908?s=46&t=p_Az5sKSFBThWZPHB3XFFg

Can people please retweet this so it reaches more people and hopefully gains the attention it needs from the developers

[white hazel]

Hey, does "Health" mean literally just health and NOT armor? Like the 5.11 set bonus gives you +10% health, but that has nothing to do with armor?

And another question, how much should I focus on health? Or should I just focus on armor?

[timber hatch]

It's so dumb they accidentally made a seasonal meme item completely busted OP in pvp...

[tardy frost]

Focus armor. Health is a useless stat right now

[tardy frost]

Exactly. And it’s a joke that they’ve tried fixing it twice just to break it even further!!!!

[white hazel]

Yeah I always thought the health bar was kinda weird. Thanks Muffin :)

[timber hatch]

Health is pointless. In story mode armor and skill tiers are very helpful, rest of your minor attributes during the campaign really don't matter

[tardy frost]

No worries 🫡

[timber hatch]

Just keep in mind everything changes once you start putting together builds at level 40 for the endgame stuff. The campaign really teaches a lot of bad build habits

[white hazel]

Yeah I'm keeping that in mind 100%. I'm actually re-remembering all the basics, I have played through the campaign once before but that was years ago :D

Then I went back to D1 and now I'm back to D2, feels like a brand new game again :D

But yeah, I'm doing a skill build for the campaign which I'm gonna ignore once I hit the end game^^

[azure lintel]

So health in general RN is a useless stat

Good to note, just coming back and realized I'm getting shredded

[real creek]

Health has always been a useless stat tho.

[azure lintel]

I honestly wouldn't have noticed when I first played. I sat in the back and never got shot

Now I have been in cover a total of 5 minutes in the like 20 hours I've put back in

[timber hatch]

Not since gear 2.0 and berserk/clutch was removed anyways

[real creek]

That shid was pretty ridiculous back in the day.

[timber hatch]

Having healers be an active annoyance that hurt people's builds wasnt great balance lol

[real creek]

The good old grenade to start the fight was always funny tho.

[ivory pebble]

I was wondering about this as I don't pvp. What is going on with this festive misery, I mean delivery. Hah

[rough citrus]

when you throw a grenade at your feet it will proc the transfer to other people and when it does transfer it will deal pve grenade dmg instead of pvp grenade dmg

also can rapid proc it with fire grenades

[serene elk]

how broken is Manning National Zoo for Nemesis parts
Got a random part yesterday and today as well as capitol mission part

[ivory pebble]

Thanks for explaining that to me.

[kind veldt]

Zoo gives a random part

[serene elk]

yeah it gives a random part every daily reset so you can get all the parts in 3 days

and then you have to wait for Invaded Hotel zzz

[vagrant marten]

can anyone tell me what this icon means?

https://imgur.com/a/s2Hf4w2

[real creek]

FYI you can put images into #ask-td2-community but to answer you it's a guardian symbol from the global even currently going on.

[vagrant marten]

Thank you for your answer. Can i disable said event?

[real creek]

Yeah, open up your seasons menu and select the GE and open it, then at the bottom you should see a F to activate/deactivate at the bottom.

[ornate thorn]

just hit level 10,000,000 no joke.

[silent nymph]

so um.. i remeber i bought the deluxe pack and i can't seem to deconstruct my lullaby here cause i got some very ba stats on it

[ivory pebble]

You will never ever be able to delete the pre-order shotgun and rifle. I even put them onto a character I deleted and the items were returned to my inbox in the stash. Hahaha. Thankfully they don't cause you to lose inventory space.

[silent nymph]

Well shit guess I gotta put my resources into optimize the shit out of it till it's max

[hardy kayak]

Yoo, need some advice - i got 80 hours on console SHD level 22 something and considering to play on pc - But i keep debating if i really want to loose all that progress. What would you do?

[ivory pebble]

The lvl 1 stuff?

[silent nymph]

Basically, when I got my lullaby it had low percentage's here

[ivory pebble]

Have you decided to game FT on pc? If yes, then it is more than worth it. If you would like to do the PTS, then pc. If you enjoy doing Beta testing for upcoming games, then PC. I say yes, it is definitely grinding again. When I left my PS4 for pc a few years ago, I have never regretted the decision. Even with pc issues from time to time, it is a great platform to be on.

[hardy kayak]

Sorry, what do you mean by FT and PTS?

[ivory pebble]

Yea, don't put resources into the gifted stuff. Inaya will have a blueprint for you to convert any sweet dreams into a lullaby.

[ivory pebble]

Fulltime and Public Test Server. PTS is only available for pc players in Division/Ubisoft universe

[silent nymph]

I mean yeah, but now I gotta get the sweet dreams again to have my collection complete

[lone valve]

Ur only shd 22?
Then now would be the best time to move to pc

[ivory pebble]

Hahahaaa. I hear you man. But I get more Sweet Dreams than I care to admit. Run Countdown for shotguns. You have a good chance at a SD and you also get all the points to buy stuff and you can deconstruct so much stuff for resources

[ivory pebble]

This is my thought as well

[hardy kayak]

Yeah i just play quite casually and also the fact that i am on a 1660 super with a 1440p screen is something i need to consider too, as i have been playing on ps5

its an older game so might not be an issue, as far as i could see the benchmarks

[lone valve]

I would move now since you don't have that much progress on console

[ivory pebble]

Yea, those specs are fine for D2. Just don't set your expectations very high. Lol

[hardy kayak]

thanks for the input!!

[full zinc]

What's your secret 🤔

[prisma gorge]

starting my replay of the DV2 story

[ivory pebble]

Absolutely. If you want a clan for the perks (sadly we don't do much if anything at all as a clan, long story) I can send you an invite.

[real creek]

I think they are PS tho....

[prisma gorge]

dam i forgot how this story started

tusks been at it for a while

[ivory pebble]

Starting a new character on PC, probably

[summer crescent]

[rose depot]

Hey agents, looking for some help with the hunters. Myself and a friend were trying to get the last 4 in east mall, but before we could get the last one, they disappeared. Do they have a time limit?

[nocturne vessel]

i think so

you gotta be fast

[rose depot]

damn, thanks

[lethal halo]

One time I tried dying operation iron horse, while knowing nothing about raids at the time, thinking it was just gonna be another mission.

Let’s just say I learned the hard way too late.

I couldn’t even get past the first part.

[undone timber]

Its way more intimidating than it is difficult

You’ll get there agent

[lethal halo]

“Oh operation iron horse? Wait…why’s there matchmaking…? Eh ill be fine”
-top 10 lines taken moments before disaster

I shouldn’t have ran in there while trying to solo…without even a remotely serious build…at SHD level 130

[hybrid ore]

Just in case you didn't know, the matchmaking mode for Iron Horse and Dark Hours is actually pretty much pointless.
Less mechanics, easier mechanics+enemies, and no Raid locked loot.

"Discovery mode Raids, not even once"

[lethal halo]

So it’s purposely meant to be solo’ed?

[hybrid ore]

I'm not even really sure what it's for, as it doesn't even give you an idea of what the actual Raid is like.
maybe for screenshots?

[azure lintel]

What I don't get is why the actual raid is locked behind invite only when people would eventually know all the strats, you can take a look at countdown

Everyone knows and does pretty much the same thing like a hive mind

[lethal halo]

Has anyone here even completed the raids..? Excluding the ones on the pictures in the BOO?

[hybrid ore]

The raids? Yeah they've been out for over 5 years at this point.

[azure lintel]

Yes, there's a server I'm in where they complete multiple raids daily

[lethal halo]

5 year— damn im old..

[hybrid ore]

Div2 dropped in 2019, game's getting ancient by now.

[lethal halo]

I saw that D1’s dark zone trailer came out 6 YEARS AGO

[azure lintel]

Div 1 darkzone will forever be missed

[hybrid ore]

Actually that was 8 years ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAUIRzgEkX8
ah nostalgia.

[azure lintel]

I spent so much time just hanging around with people and chilling or doing 1v1s, div2 dz is pretty much just everyone sweating left and right

Saiga shotgun meta was crazy lol

[lethal halo]

I feel like the snowy weather needs to make a comeback

[azure lintel]

True I still prefer the dark cold style of div1

Although div2 is prettier due to being newer

[lethal halo]

Also the ambient sounds when you open the inventory

[hybrid ore]

MSV have done a good job with the same engine.
Their world design has always been my favourite part of the div games.

[azure lintel]

Nothing better than stepping your first time in some areas and just staring at it lol

[lethal halo]

Plus ISAAC in div1 sounded much more…lively? Is that the right word..?

[azure lintel]

The ai yeah

[lethal halo]

Idk I just liked hearing it announcing you leaving/entering the safe area

[azure lintel]

In a way i can see that yeah

I still have most lines memorized in my head lol

[lethal halo]

“Warning. You are now leaving the safe area”

But now he sounds…boring…compared to div1

[azure lintel]

Transmissions JAAAmmed

Caution entering dark zone

[lethal halo]

“Warning. Your division affiliation has been disavowed. You are now marked as rouge.”

[azure lintel]

God that hit the core lol

I love how he pauses at the "as rogue" for a little

You are now marked as, rogue. sort of lol

[lethal halo]

In the history of me playing div2 and div1…I’ve been only went rogue 3 times.
