[tardy tangle]

Good guys now, but under Ridgeway their mission became perverted, the road to hell is paved with good intentions

[hybrid ore]

No they aren't

[barren tiger]

tsk, i grew up on MMPRG ane still watched PBS

[kind veldt]

guess i need to open those 500 keys

[main delta]

As someone from Pittsburgh, Mr. Rogers 🐐

[elfin hazel]

assuming that clause in the ubi tom clancy deal is still a thing yea

[alpine zephyr]

HELL YES! i have 5k textiles and need something to spend it on

[alpine zephyr]

im in the UK we dont get PBS

[halcyon radish]

damn, I had thousand apparel cache wait to open

[tardy tangle]

Ridgeway was, and always will be a horrible leader, Anderson resembles the JTF more closely now and honestly, that's a good thing

[fair lake]

Textile shop is good, but can we open more than 1 apparel cache at a time?

[barren tiger]

no wonder...

[astral jacinth]

Wait textiles vendor?

[opal radish]

Need to open 100X caches I have 3000 caches lying around

[rigid wedge]

Yeah

[barren tiger]

yes

[alpine zephyr]

im about to buy so many optimisation caches

[real creek]

Option to open 10 caches at once pls.

[alpine zephyr]

time to get opening

[hybrid ore]

there's s rotation for the textiles vendor, so you cant spend them all at once

[opal radish]

Need 100X

[opal radish]

U till they 100X caches no thnx

[alpine zephyr]

people are about to max out on everything through that vendor

[barren tiger]

@alpine zephyr you missed so much wholesomness Bob Ross....

[elfin hazel]

more commendations !!!!!!!!

[undone timber]

What's that vendor sell

[hybrid ore]

ooh new Commendations!

[lime fulcrum]

exotic components is enough for me 😂

[tardy tangle]

Which ones?

[hybrid ore]

exotic cache, named cache, opti cache

[rigid wedge]

I'M NOT RUNNING PARADISE LOST AGAIN I'M BEAT

[undone timber]

Oh cool!

[hybrid ore]

literally no idea, but new patches are being added.

[barren tiger]

has not done PL

[real creek]

do et.

[tardy tangle]

Yippie new patches I love new patches

[undone timber]

Read that in palpatines voice lmao

[hybrid ore]

1 exo component per daily project, 3 per weekly.

[lime fulcrum]

sry for reply
one question pops up for me
for example i have 1% drone dmg
if i drop 2% drone dmg
do i have to pick it to make it count?! or drop is enough?!

[fair lake]

but they didn't fix Summit Combat Master Merit Commendation

😂

[hybrid ore]

you should have to pick it up afaik

[tardy tangle]

question if you don't mind me asking, favourite enemy faction if you have one?

[tender wave]

really hoping they leave that 'cool patch here' armpatch for one of the new commendations

[undone timber]

Unironically goes hard

[hybrid ore]

They're all psychos, but I guess out of the crazy evil people, probably BT have the best outfits.

[rigid wedge]

Some leaderboards are getting tactical nuked

[ivory perch]

where is the secret vendor today?

[rigid wedge]

plays mw2 nuke sound

[tardy tangle]

Agreed, the other factions (unless we're talking TS or LMB) have horrible fashion tastes

[alpine zephyr]

GOOD! a lot of leaderboards in all games are filled with hackers

[undone timber]

Hunters got that dead agent drip

[tired granite]

why does it say i did -1200M dmg

[tardy tangle]

I'd say its rather wack IMO, too boring for my taste

[kind veldt]

number got so big it went down

[old plaza]

integer overflow

[tired granite]

thats what i thought. whats the integer set anyways?

[hybrid ore]

Okay so Vindicator is always locked to Descent, even after obtaining it.

makes sense.

[barren tiger]

for now

[real creek]

Google 32 bit integer limit it's 2.1 billion but idr the exact number.

[opal radish]

Rip the best decision you can make like literally the best

[tardy tangle]

With that being said the True Sons design was a missed opportunity, they could've made them look a lot cooler, wearing their old JTF stuff just with their own insignia and so on instead of the -in my opinion- rather bland stuff we got, don't get me wrong, the blue half masks look cool, but they could've been cooler

[hybrid ore]

"unless im wrong them ill publicly state it"
so no change right now.

[undone timber]

I don't imagine it'll be coming out anytime soon

[rigid wedge]

You can try asking in their QNA

[opal radish]

2^31 for a signed integer you are welcome

[rigid wedge]

And legendary is not coming to open world lmao

[broken solstice]

The best part of this Livestream is how many times Yannick told her (forgot her name) he doesn't know what she's talking about

[undone timber]

Like the main incentive to play it other than the blueprints

[celest hazel]

Can’t wait to see Division 3 factions.

[alpine zephyr]

could you imagine if they did legendary in the open world? it would be insane

[rigid wedge]

it's hand made and one faction

[alpine zephyr]

a war every time you step out of the safe space

[celest hazel]

I am begging for this

[undone timber]

Insanely broken

[hybrid ore]

okay interesting, legendary is not specifically coming to the open world mostly because they physically cant

[rigid wedge]

That's a lot of work but..it would be fun.

[tardy tangle]

I hope the Black Tusk and True Sons make a return in all honesty

[alpine zephyr]

makes protection from elites mandatory lol

[opal radish]

I guess they are fooling us on this one

[celest hazel]

White Tusk in the open world would be brutal yes

[rigid wedge]

No legendary missions coming

pain

[alpine zephyr]

im assuming patch notes will be live tomorrow?

[main delta]

Raid difficulty in open world when /s

[broken solstice]

Tonight is patch notes. Or right after the stream

[tardy tangle]

Gotta be my favourite factions from an aesthetic point of view and so much more, down to their leaders and their respective arcs in the story (for example if the BT turns out to be the good guys, then the True Sons are trying to redeem themselves)

[alpine zephyr]

how much longer are they going to be live? its been a while

[broken solstice]

Not long. They're on q and a

[rigid wedge]

Probably 10 or so minutes longer

[main delta]

I want to come back to the game but don’t know where to even start

[undone timber]

Where you left off

[opal radish]

Come back tomorrow and start fresh ez

[shell linden]

This was me a month ago. I looked up what I needed for a Striker build then ran Countdown with focused loot to get a solid build to start with.

[fair lake]

bruh, wasted potential. The Division 1 had legendary difficulty on EVERY MISSION

We need difficult content

[kind veldt]

did it have for every one?

[opal radish]

Nope we had only like 7 legendary mission

[undone timber]

Uh no??

[opal radish]

In this game we have 5

[alpine zephyr]

SINCE WHEN

[hybrid ore]

You've literally done nothing but complain this entire livestream.

[rigid wedge]

😂

[alpine zephyr]

THIS

[fair lake]

unless you're able to counter anything I said - I'll apologize

[opal radish]

Mark of a true Division Player

[rigid wedge]

this livestream was us eating good for 95% of it

[undone timber]

Napalm
Warrengate
Times square
Amherst
General assembly
Madison
Grand central

[main delta]

Is it worth going back and doing missed manhunts? Or just wait until tomorrow

[hybrid ore]

I don't need to "counter" anything you said. Just chill for 5 minutes.

[neon wyvern]

no legendary liberty island worst update ever

👎

[stray bronze]

Bro what?

[undone timber]

Might be missing one but that's hardly every mission lmao

[rigid wedge]

And that was it

[main delta]

Wait animated?

[hybrid ore]

okay stream is over, almost 90 minutes. Not bad!

[rigid wedge]

0/10 I want all of my money back ubisoft

[main delta]

What is this

[rigid wedge]

I'm just kidding

9/10

[kind veldt]

well still mad about gloves and some nerfs, happy about the rest

[neon wyvern]

better be a good explanation why we are getting kelso

[rigid wedge]

What were the nerfs?

[kind veldt]

vindictive exotic rifle

[rigid wedge]

Wasn't seen for 2 seasons

[stray bronze]

The tinkering menu is gonna be a godsend.

[main delta]

Bro, inject that art style animation direct 😫

[fair lake]

I'm chilling, just confused that we're ignored.
I like new apparel event, new textile vendor (in TU 20.1), new stash indicator, tinkering station, some weapon buffs are nice too.
But Descent talent rotation.... why?
And yes, I apologize for not remembering the amount of legendary missions in Div 1. That's been a while

[neon wyvern]

project changes are underrated

[pliant sentinel]

ghost recon ahhh outfits 💀

[hybrid ore]

open world caches now scale.
its over countdown, LZ is back!

[broken solstice]

I like the Improvements to make the other GEs more fun

[main delta]

Project resolve was long needed,

[neon wyvern]

🗿

[celest hazel]

We never gotten Legendary United Nations

[undone timber]

Shaping up to be a W update

[dull cypress]

did they say how much the vindicator was gonna cost in the NSA store?

[undone timber]

Huh div1 had leg general assembly

[undone timber]

350

[dull cypress]

ty! so the pts numbers were accurate lol

[halcyon radish]

I got 4 exotic from open world cache so far, wonder if world difficulty increase the drop rate

[alpine zephyr]

are the patch notes live?

[kind veldt]

it does increase

wait, caches you mean the random boxes or boxes from completing stuff like territory control?

[halcyon radish]

random box

[neon wyvern]

lockboxes

[halcyon radish]

all around solar farm when I collecting materials

[alpine zephyr]

ok so what i got from that dev stream. Farm out materials now. so your all set for when the patch goes live tomorrow

[barren tiger]

🙄

[dull cypress]

anyone know if theres patch notes yet

[kind veldt]

not yet

[hybrid ore]

When they go live, #patch-notes will have them.

[pliant sentinel]

textiles vendor is a nice touch 👍👍👍 nice addition

i want season pass outfits tho

[undone timber]

They did indeed cook

[tardy tangle]

fr

[undone timber]

Did they not reveal them

[hybrid ore]

fair warning: they specifically said that you can't just spend all your textiles at once at the vendor, there will be a rotation of some sort.
but its still a really good addition.

[pliant sentinel]

no like, previous season pass outfits, on the textiles vendor

[fair lake]

I wish we could open more than one apparel crate at once...

[hybrid ore]

the textiles vendor is for caches, not outfits

exo/named/opti, right now.

[fickle moat]

Oh nice

[pliant sentinel]

no im saying "it be nice"

[hybrid ore]

It would be, but I imagine those are going to continue to be paid in some future update.
Maybe in the store

[open comet]

Patch Note waiting room

[pliant sentinel]

but they did say they will add more stuff to textiles vendor when tu20.1 comes

so i can only hope

[rigid wedge]

well it would be nice if past season outfits, complete appeal set bonuses and Maybe even store items were there too.

But for now it does look good so I'm not complaining

[dull cypress]

so cosmetics wise we we got

-new apparel event coming (tacticool)
-Keener’s agents (sadly cash shop)
-returning apparel event
-descent outfits
-premium pass stuff

[hybrid ore]

There's no way paid full outfits would be in there, but I can imagine maybe gun skins.

[undone timber]

I wanna get that damn mask

[main delta]

So textile vendor is Xur 👍🏻

[undone timber]

And those weapon skins

[dull cypress]

but without bad rolls LMAO

[main delta]

FACTS

[hybrid ore]

If they give him a tentacle face I will buy the full Keener team outfit, and that's a promise.

[modest lintel]

Any patch notes yet?

[dull cypress]

real

[hybrid ore]

when patchnotes go live, they'll be over in #patch-notes

[rigid wedge]

I hope it's not 20 and it's 5 or 10 bucks a pop

[dull cypress]

unless we get like really bad rolls when we open the stuff LMAO

[modest lintel]

Thank you

[rocky sparrow]

when the updata tomorrow?

[keen osprey]

Usual time for maintenance

[hybrid ore]

If maintenance goes live at the usual time, it'll be in about 15 hours, roughly

but that's when it starts, not ends.

[fluid meadow]

I can finally cashout my 700 apparel keys?!??

[open comet]

ok i go sleep for 15 hours

[hybrid ore]

you likely won't be able to spend all your textiles at once as there seems to be some kind of rotation limit, but yeah they now have a purpose once you have everything in the pool.

[lone valve]

Probably stock refills once a week

[pliant sentinel]

the limit is that the caches have stock, so u can only buy like 10 at a time

[lone valve]

Basically every reset day

[hybrid ore]

They did use the word "rotation", so it makes me think the type of cache will change.
maybe

[languid pond]

Lol i completed my apparel cache ages ago free crates is a w

[pliant sentinel]

they say gonna add more stuff into the vendor so we'll see 🙏

[tired granite]

i have just completed stovepipe and wanted to do schaeffer but it still says it is locked.

[pliant sentinel]

also vendor is tu20.1

[hybrid ore]

if i had to speculate wildly based on nothing: always exotic, but they swap out named and opti.

[wary tundra]

At least there'll be a use for them when there isn't much they'll buy otherwise

[tired granite]

oh both are locked now

wt

[hybrid ore]

for anyone who missed the stream: #news-and-announcements message

i am loving that jacket Kelso has btw

[kind veldt]

i think it's because season ended

[tired granite]

nvm fixed it. game hates me i guess

[kind veldt]

or i was just wrong

[fluid meadow]

The knives on the jacket works well with that one jeans that had knives as well

[undone timber]

Coyote pants or something

[keen osprey]

Open world loot crates scaling to world difficulty may still be the best change this game has had in its existence.. something that has been super long overdue.

[neon wyvern]

lol

who opens loot crates anyway

[dull cypress]

wait what timestamp was that at

[keen osprey]

The thought of opening a box and not hearing a purple plume is music to one's ears

[keen osprey]

No one did.. but now they serve a purpose

[hybrid ore]

@dusty veldt Kelso, although we're not "hunting her down" so much as following where she's been.

[keen osprey]

Farming guides will hit different

[hybrid ore]

It was in the patchnotes. open world boxes scale to difficulty now.

[neon wyvern]

I hope loot crates and rogue agents/ hunters are related so 2 bugs can be fixed at once

[dusty veldt]

Okok thanks, sry for texting on the other chat I thought it was the general chat

[keen osprey]

I don't have one but it was mentioned in the project resolve stream and article and I'm sure yannick mentioned that faction boxes will scale in today's stream

[hybrid ore]

all good, its a bit confusing since it's higher up :p

[tardy tangle]

nuh uh shes rogue im calling it

[neon wyvern]

no way

[hybrid ore]

The mirror with Lau's face in it that she punched was a bit of a giveaway.
I hope she's not though.

[tardy tangle]

That's what i'm thinking too, given how the light on her thingy dimmed

[rigid wedge]

Kelso did look up to Lau.

It could be a fake out

[keen osprey]

Did u forget the name for a watch?

[dusty veldt]

Would be sad if the story is just attrition, one after the other they turn rogue and all

[tardy tangle]

It wasn't her watch that did it

the thing on her shoulder

[rigid wedge]

And The Division have killed all of their targets but one who sent him into a coma for some reason

[hybrid ore]

that's actually just another SHD thing.

only the most technical terms here in gen-chat.

[neon wyvern]

technically it's called open world

[keen osprey]

It's like killing off every character in a soap/drama that's been going for 10 seasons lol.. I guess they're limited to the scope of the manhunt parameters which is likely why we now have this "retrace steps" approach as this season focuses on less killing of pinnacle figures.

[hybrid ore]

Light Zone is so much goofier though, so it's perfect.

[tardy tangle]

technically parnell was a coward

[keen osprey]

That's ISSAC.

[tardy tangle]

ANNA gang

[hybrid ore]

Technically he's intergrated.

[keen osprey]

Wasn't he involved in drones?

Drones, decoys.. unmanned and hidden away.. sounds like coward approach tbf

[rigid wedge]

Drones and Decoys

[hybrid ore]

yeah he killed 2 JTF in the opening WONY cutscene

or 1, I forget

[neon wyvern]

I want theos drone build he used in that cutscene

[undone timber]

Like come out and fight like a man stop hiding behind the damn decoys

Makes the mission longer for what smh

[hybrid ore]

I think they were just story NPC's and it was a striker.
Theo over here with that Legendary build on story mode.

[keen osprey]

come out of your hidey hole ya coward grace Jones said that to keener.. they're all cowards

[neon wyvern]

Theo got access to sniper drone

while we only have sniper turret

[hybrid ore]

I'm picturing an actual sniper drone now and the kickback just instantly throwing it into a wall and it exploding

[keen osprey]

Year 6 season 1.. ortiz sniper turret. Electric boogaloo..

[neon wyvern]

mlg turret

trickshot turret

[undone timber]

💀

Electro dart turret was funny

[hybrid ore]

every time you deploy it, it plays a commercial for gambling on CS:go
too soon?

[tardy tangle]

thats why I run blue and red builds, who needs tech when bullets do the same damage

[keen osprey]

Announcing the steam summer sale

[hybrid ore]

Okay not too soon, well that's a relief.

[tired granite]

how come the trees in div 2 extend all the way below the map xdd

[hybrid ore]

Have you heard of a root system before?

[tardy tangle]

LMAO

[tired granite]

XD

[barren tiger]

that's deep 😉

[prisma beacon]

is project whatsit live today or whatever?

new season thingu?

[tardy tangle]

Tomorrow

[prisma beacon]

righto, time to finish daily projects and off to sphere chuckin

[tardy tangle]

Eh, I'm not too concerned about that stuff, I'm just playing escape from tarkov waiting for the thingy to drop tomorrow so that the story can continue

[tardy tangle]

The same ones that kinda looked like LMB troops?

[marsh crystal]

Aight I’m on 3 piece system corruption , 1 piece left and I’m losing hope

[azure lintel]

all in all good changes / updates?

[hybrid ore]

very good.

[hidden wing]

Haven't been is this disc for a while, just got back into the game, but why did they remove the VCs?

[elfin hazel]

#discord-news message they were removed by ubisoft for legal reasons

[azure lintel]

I mean i didnt understand people in vc anyways

[real creek]

Language barrier?

[azure lintel]

Nah not that. The audio was always super muffled up

[slow smelt]

Where can I find a summary of the Special Report that happened today?

[hybrid ore]

#news-and-announcements has an image of the basic stuff.

there's 35 pages of patch notes coming with the update though.

[midnight salmon]

what?!?!?
35 pages?!?!

[neon wyvern]

spreadsheet updaters gonna have fun

[hybrid ore]

A lot of it's already on there, those maniacs scare me sometimes.

[slow smelt]

Yeah I saw that, but New Manhunt and New Apparel Event is a given

[vale rune]

Civil center where is that?

[nimble bridge]

ive go a question.What is the manhunt thks season

Missed the live

[slow smelt]

35 PAGES??????? 😳

[hybrid ore]

tomorrow? it's following in Kelso's footsteps.

[nimble bridge]

going after kelso? damn

[hybrid ore]

Not necessarily "hunting her down", just tracking her as of now.
#patch-notes appears to be up.

[neon wyvern]

kelos gon rouge 😭

[hybrid ore]

Kelso dressing in red, nice.

i think its her colour tbh. She doesnt really pull of green that well.

[slow smelt]

It’s a Manhunt, not an Assassination. Isn’t her watch Orange in the key art?

[nimble bridge]

it is

[hybrid ore]

It is yes. And so far the only "evidence" that we have of her being a bad guy is McManus going all palpatine on us

[nimble bridge]

i feel like kelso was the actual big villain

[vale rune]

Civic center i mean?

[slow smelt]

Kelso is absolutely not a villain, she’s just going into a grey area for the moment. And I don’t blame her since the DOD is at odds with us, the SHD. Government Branch vs Government Branch

[barren tiger]

#keenerwasright

[kind veldt]

would didnt see that buff to the stringer LMG coming

[nimble bridge]

you have no idea whats coming

famous last words

[hybrid ore]

glitter box bomb, calling it now

[slow smelt]

“Nor do I, they haven’t finished writing the plot yet” -Aaron Keener

[neon wyvern]

🧠

[alpine zephyr]

big reason to use 3 piece cezka. 90% health bonus in the upcoming patch

so many of the high end sets got huge buffs

[tardy tangle]

or "What we're up against"

which has been said by both BT and TS, which makes me wonder what in gods name they are talking about

[barren tiger]

we find out kelso's working a run down dinner in some no name settlment

[frosty wadi]

When does the special report begin?

[hybrid ore]

No I mean Keener stashed one under the grumpy guy from Haven's desk and they've only just found it.

[tardy tangle]

her and mari are rival companies

[prisma beacon]

meta be damned, what's ya'lls favorite run and gun setup?

[alpine zephyr]

also riven, you know you said scavenging is from 1000%+ for shade watch. they changed that now to 2001

[full zinc]

Doubt

[alpine zephyr]

It’s all in the patch notes

[full zinc]

Heath bonus till 2000. Not liked with scavenging tho

[full zinc]

If thats the case it's a stupid choice that just hurts new agents

[hybrid ore]

    LVL 1 to 1000: no changes.
    LVL 1001 to 2000: changed HP gain from 0.3 to 30HP per level.
    LVL 2001 and beyond: scavenging materials at each level.```

its not the case

[alpine zephyr]

Read it for yourself

2001. Nothing but scavenging materials no other bonuses

[hybrid ore]

Yes, no HP bonus

it's talking about the health buffs being removed post 2k

[alpine zephyr]

Exactly

[neon wyvern]

that would be funny

[alpine zephyr]

Im happy with that. Balances the game out for PvP and PvE. Division 2 is no longer about who has the higher shade watch level

[neon wyvern]

All that shd grinding for nothing

[full zinc]

Regardless I'm unaffected. Got more stored shd than I can ever use 😂

[timber hatch]

I'm pretty sure your still getting a scav point for each shd after 1000, plus the health increase. Rivens quote just doesn't mention that, but the quote is talking about how you only get scav points, no health, after 2k

Not that you don't get scav points until 2k

[full zinc]

Yeah probably an oversight when creating the notes

[alpine zephyr]

That’s not what it says in the patch notes

[hybrid ore]

my quote is actually copied directly from the patch notes.

[alpine zephyr]

Im taking the patch notes as Verbatim until something else proves otherwise

Literally everyone in here before quoting in the patch notes. Should go read them

[hybrid ore]

but yeah, theres no indication that theyve removed the scav points, its just worded oddly

[full zinc]

Trust me, it's not a bible. Let me know after patch if you get scavenging between 1000-2000. I'll never be able to test 💯

[frosty wadi]

Do we know when the stream starts

[alpine zephyr]

Might take a while, I’m only at 128 😂

[full zinc]

Finished, look up a replay

[azure lintel]

do i need to buy the season pass to be able to see it or how come i simply cant see it on the menu?

[frosty wadi]

I did not know it was finished thnk u

[hybrid ore]

Once the new Season is added, you can access the Season Pass for free, just the "premium tier" is paid and its only cosmetics and excess caches.

[full zinc]

Free track will be available without pass and will have all the important stuff

[timber hatch]

"1-1000 no changes" includes getting a scav point each 5 shd. The 1001-2000 is only talking about the changes to health, scav points are not mentioned because they are not changing. The last part is talking about how after 2000 it is changed to no longer get health, you only get the scav points we always got.

[visual sentinel]

OTHER
Various stability improvements and script optimizations implemented in Countdown, Descent, and Summit.
No more Countdown crashes??? 🤩

[full zinc]

Let me know in a couple months then

[hybrid ore]

well, hopefully less. You can never guarantee no crashes in a game.

[azure lintel]

yea but i cant find it on the menu 😭
sometimes this game makes me feel like its untidy when it comes to where what is

[barren tiger]

I give it two hours of going live before the leaderboards are covered by exploits or other nonsense

[hybrid ore]

pause the game and click the top right box.

[azure lintel]

pause? you mean clicking escape?

[visual sentinel]

i reformulate
No more Countdown crashes that i can trigger with a 100% chance if i do a specific action and that only depends on the game itself rather than player's hardware??? 🤩 🥳

[hybrid ore]

....I refuse to believe that someone doesn't know how to pause the game.
to remain sane I have to assume it's a joke.

[full zinc]

Yes

[hybrid ore]

It's a game on a computer, you hit escape to open the menu.

[azure lintel]

first time im hearing someone saying pause to that 😭

but anyways, i got nothing to click top right

i just see inventory, clan, progression n stuff

[full zinc]

Rivens is installed on vista... just saying

[hybrid ore]

It's true, I am.

[barren tiger]

uses controler on pc

[hybrid ore]

although I'm being forced to upgrade to windows 11, I keep "skip for now"ing

[azure lintel]

hold on is that some wony exclusive too?

[real creek]

I was gonna ask are you SHD level or 30.

[azure lintel]

im 30 yea

[real creek]

NO SEASON FOR YOU

It's all WONY stuff.

[full zinc]

Get wony

[alpine zephyr]

imagine not owning warlords of new york in 2024

[full zinc]

🤦‍♂️

[azure lintel]

Okay then i can live with that, since the update is right around the corner and i wanted to buy it anyways

[azure lintel]

i started playing this game 2-3 days ago

[hybrid ore]

just make sure you get it on heavy sale.
it regularly goes for 70+% off.

[azure lintel]

👍 thanks

[hybrid ore]

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a sale on Valentine's day, it's most holidays and there's nothing as romantic as div2.

[azure lintel]

right, some people with explosives on them running at you, perfect VD

[neon wyvern]

can't wait for new story dlc to be a must buy

level 50 gear

[full zinc]

Outcast rushers just want hugs

[full zinc]

High doubt

[hybrid ore]

the "new missions in the pool" for projects makes me realise just how little I did them before that I had no idea they were missing.

[frosty wadi]

Ima be real and fully honest, after skimming through the livestream, this is a hella disappointing update

[hybrid ore]

What were you expecting?

[frosty wadi]

At least some good outfits at most, this is quite honestly a downgrade in season quality, if project resolve wasn’t in this season it would honestly be garbage

[plush blaze]

No airaldi changes (dog***t)

[hybrid ore]

Did airaldi need changes?

[hybrid ore]

the season one looks pretty cool, the red+black thing.
the apparel event that's new is nice, i like ammo belts.

[real creek]

Ah yes lets make MMR HH builds more op.

[full zinc]

They are😎

[hybrid ore]

The weird thing is, if you go for Chainkiller you're already only using 1 piece of it anyway.
so unless they wanted 20% mmr for the first brandset bonus, IDK what could possibly make it stronger.

[real creek]

Anyone who wants a buff to MMR stuff probably doesn't understand HH anyway.

[frosty wadi]

Two of the outfits in the apparel event are deadass just rehashed outfits we already have, both the season pass outfits look mediocre at best, most of the actual new content is bland or just not worth using

[safe halo]

Massive Entertainment was cooking when they made this game 🔥

[frosty wadi]

Project resolve is hard carrying this season

[full zinc]

Cooking spaghetti*

[lone valve]

It'll be a must buy for me regardless of a gear increase

[hybrid ore]

So they made something delicious?

[main delta]

Swedes don’t eat spaghetti they eat meatballs 🤬

[full zinc]

Refers more to the coding

[safe halo]

Listening to the soundtrack now too, hope Ole Strandh is coming back for The Division 3

[main delta]

I mean 🤣

[hybrid ore]

It's full of wheat?

[safe halo]

Is he Norwegian?

[full zinc]

It's less funny If I have to explain 😅

[hybrid ore]

Yes that's the joke of me killing the joke lol :p

[lone valve]

He works at massive so probably

[hybrid ore]

MSV is swedish itself, but that's about all we know afaik.

[lone valve]

He's the music director

[full zinc]

I'll just change subject. Spaghetti is a top 5 for me...

[lone valve]

Not div 2 related smh banned

[hybrid ore]

No no it's fine, this is important.

[full zinc]

Post deletion incoming

[alpine zephyr]

i go for a shower and boom drama erupts. wtf

[hybrid ore]

a place near me does an amazing vegan ravioli and I can already hear the anger building.

[high moon]

what is the main go to solo tank build with good offence ? its all rather overwhelming and i feel like im not getting max out of my character any advice ?

[safe halo]

Something with the Shield perhaps?

[alpine zephyr]

heartbreaker+ shield?

[safe halo]

Items with armor, regen etc

[full zinc]

There isnt. Closest would probably be hunters fury because of the armor on kill

[dull cypress]

wait were there more pics of the new apparel event stuff

[alpine zephyr]

wouldnt heartbreaker be better for a tank build? armor on shooting enemys

[full zinc]

Head over to #td2-build-advice . There is a pinned spreadsheet with a lot of builds to look through.

[high moon]

im running sokolov concern with a overlord armaments holster and coyotes mask

weapons: pp-19 and doctors home

[neon wyvern]

memento striker is good offense

[full zinc]

It's harder to build. And I feel its limited.

[neon wyvern]

heartbreaker is worse striker even in survivability

[alpine zephyr]

with the chest piece it caps at 100

[alpine zephyr]

ehhh debatable. ive out damaged and out survived a lot of strikers in countdown with hearbreaker

[full zinc]

Not the point. It rolls blue, but needs all crit stats... and needs some red cores. Better with a memento striker or memento hunters fury. Imho

[neon wyvern]

the strikers are pulling all the aggro

it's hard to die when u aren't being shot at

[full zinc]

😂

[alpine zephyr]

awks. im normally the one getting shot at

[full zinc]

What are the top end crits you see trading damage for bonus armor?

Outside of cd

[alpine zephyr]

lemme finish this countdown run and ill get back to you

[full zinc]

So no funky buffs

[grim charm]

Just tried Countdown for the very first time and crashed after 3 minutes, also for the first time since playing. Maybe I should wait until the patch with it 😬

[main delta]

I havnt played the game in months and turns out status effect builds are still crispy

👍🏻

[alpine zephyr]

just ran it through the firing range and at top stacks was parsing for between 4 million at the low end after sustaining for a while but started off at 6 million, reload, drop to 4 million to 5 million

[full zinc]

Not dps total. It's not accurate in the range.
Actual crits, orange damage number. Also what weapon and cc/chd stats

[alpine zephyr]

how do i see that? just do 1 shot on the firing range? st elmos and im at 140 crit damage, 52% crit chance

[full zinc]

Does ps have chat where numbers can be turned on? Might just need to use the floating numbers at the target itself.

[alpine zephyr]

we only have at most floating

[full zinc]

Yeah that's crappy

[alpine zephyr]

ok at the top end im critting for 675999, had to turn on floating to see it, i hate floating it looks weird

[full zinc]

Standard striker can hit around 1.2m all red with elmo oblit.
Use gunner and adjust blue cores to suit and itll still be really strong.
That's kinda why I dont suggest hb. Plus the pulse thing and the pita farming for it

Some love it but it's not as noob friendly

[alpine zephyr]

pita farming? wont even lie the reason i like heartbreaker so much is because i love having defense and offense in one build whereas striker only offers damage

[full zinc]

Pain in the ass -pita. Sry

[alpine zephyr]

also its easy to gain stacks with HB. just use an ACS, Lefty or Rock n Roll to start the fight and go from there. or any pulse skill

farmings easy for it. Run countdown

literally for most builds. just run countdown to farm out the pieces

[full zinc]

I've farmed it. It's an opinion thing and it's not one that will change... probably from either of us 🍻

Best defence in my mind is melting stuff before it can shoot, and use a shield/revive if needing an extra but of protection.
I'm 90% of the time on nego for dps anyways. With the rare striker if I need single target damage for something.

[alpine zephyr]

agreed. ive found a lot of people are die hard striker fans and see striker as the only thing thats viable, from normal play to raids and i get it. damage is huge as the quicker the person goes down the less you have to worry. but when your getting hit. a lot. HBs extra armor really can save you, since with that bonus armor, i can go up with damage and upwards of 2.5 million armor

but of course a hybrid that brings both together will never out dps something designed specifically for DPS

ergo why so many speed run raiders run 3 striker 1 healer. without that healer though they would all die quick since its mostly glass cannon builds for pure dps

[full zinc]

Not on striker. Mostly oblit or striker chest.

Glass is kinda a waste since oblit will act as an amp since it's generally the only twd source

[alpine zephyr]

Wasn’t talking about the talent. Glass cannon as in. All dps. No survivability

Ergo why so many raid speed runners require the 1 healer

[real creek]

Eh it's not what you think.

Healer isn't there for heals, they are there for the buffs and OC.

[alpine zephyr]

Your missing the point. Without the healer. All the dps pure players would die quick in every raid and have to spec for more armor in order to stay alive.

[kind veldt]

it's a balancing act

but definetly skewed towards DPS more than anything else in terms of roles

[real creek]

You are talking about speed runners and on that front you are just wrong. That's all I'm commenting on. Also I've done a bunch of no healer runs and in my duo runs we don't use a healer either.

Most of the time you don't need a healer but it's convenient to have one.

[alpine zephyr]

Wrong how? Instead of just saying that, I would prefer it explained please on why I’m wrong. And let’s try to avoid escalating this. Since I know a lot of you are pure damage fans which is why you all go for striker.

[real creek]

You said Raid speed runners.

[alpine zephyr]

Yeah, cause they are what I watch on YouTube for the division 9 times out of 10

Can’t comment on what you don’t see

[real creek]

Well as a speed runner I'm letting you know.

[alpine zephyr]

Do you rock protection from elites? Or just all crit damage/chance?

[real creek]

You can check my profile for speed vids if you want. All POVs are linked in the description of most runs.

[alpine zephyr]

Do you show your build as well? Also nice plug lol 😂😂

[real creek]

Well I don't think you know as much about speeds as you lead on to. We run FI in turrets on the incursion but fyi it's red HSD. Wanna guess why?

[alpine zephyr]

All I asked is if you show your build in the video 😂 guess I don’t need to watch them since your going to explain it all 😂

Do you show your build in the video? That’s all I need to know 😂😂

[real creek]

It's just normal builds.

There isn't anything special.

[alpine zephyr]

And are they shown in the video?

By your response I’m gonna assume the build isn’t shown?

[real creek]

Why are the builds important?

Is this about your PFE question?

[alpine zephyr]

That and I’m looking to run the raid soon myself so knowing what you run would allow me to set myself up properly so I can hang

That’s literally it 😂 I’m not debating you

[real creek]

Well in speeds PFE only gets used on scuff solo stuff or for IH tank roles on boss 3-4.

The incursion is very easy. strikers obliterate on turrets, strikers chest and coyotes, ceska, grupo mix on tanker, striker bloody knuckles wright and lovebirds. Use elmo if you don't have ouro, use ouro on tanker and thru on whatever it drops with if you wanna run more rounds, it'll still out dps a perfect elmo.

[neon wyvern]

a perfect ouro is rarer then a perfect elmo

a perfect elmo will 1 mag 2 elites while a perfect ouro wont

[real creek]

In our speed runs we run builds that are very specific to our strats. These include red FI DCH, oxy, HE HH regulus, strikers HSD, strikers CHC, FI heal acosta and BTSU. \

[alpine zephyr]

Why I’m hyped for tomorrow. Much cheaper to fully optimise my Elmo. Got max damage out of cover on the roll. Just need to get the weapon and health damage maxed out. They are close

[alpine zephyr]

Are there literally any other sets you can use in the raids other than strikers?

[real creek]

I mean I've done a skill build run of the incursion and did oxy on lovebirds. There is also a guy who soloed the incursion. I've also carried a level 1 thru and got him an ouro. You can use probably anything if you get carried and other things will probably work you'll just struggle depending on your team.

[neon wyvern]

level 1 or shd 1?

[alpine zephyr]

So wait. If I’m using HB in the raid, I’m gonna get carried? If I use strikers I’m not getting carried? Just wanna make sure I’ve got that correct

[real creek]

If you run HB thru and look at the after action report and a similar skilled player with strikers will out dps and contribute more to finishing it.

[alpine zephyr]

Ya don’t say. The gear designed just for damage will out DPS a gear set designed for armor and damage 😂😂😂

[neon wyvern]

(Hb is trash)

Tldr

[alpine zephyr]

Makes me sad people think that cause it’s my favourite set

[timber hatch]

HB isn't necessarily trash, it's just defense focused. It's fine for what it is for, but it's obviously not the top.dps option

[real creek]

It will factually do less DPS in the same exact situation.

[gusty hull]

What’s hb

[real creek]

I still suggest people to use HB as it's fun but at the end of the day numbers are numbers.

[alpine zephyr]

And all most care about is DPS. Whereas I care about defense and dps

[gusty hull]

What’s the like best builds

[neon wyvern]

I care about balance between defense and dps and HB is not the way to get that. Optimally I mean

[gusty hull]

Striker one shot sniper healer

[alpine zephyr]

According to this discord. Strikers. Only strikers

[low kayak]

souless u on pc? carry me bruh

[gusty hull]

Ah ok

[alpine zephyr]

Only 1 gear set people should use. Strikers. Pretend the others don’t exist

[neon wyvern]

truism

[alpine zephyr]

That’s the take I get from here

Makes me think HB should get a dps buff

[real creek]

Tons of us help run people thru on LFG discords all the time. I'd suggest you look to them first. I also do help run people thru often.

[lapis junco]

not really

[neon wyvern]

make it always lose 1 stack instead of 2 and maybe it's good

[lapis junco]

if your looking for the best gearset for single target DPS then yes. striker is the best build lol

[alpine zephyr]

It’s all I see whenever I go into the build disccusion area

Every day at least 30-50 people asking “what’s the best striker build”

[neon wyvern]

tfw people talk about meta in build advice😭

[alpine zephyr]

Makes me run HB out of spite 😂

[timber hatch]

A memento/obliterate striker will effectively match a memento HB, but will have less survivability. It's largely why blue strikers make little sense when HB exists. If you want damage, then go red strikers. If you want a mix of survivability and damage, HB is your best option along with HF as well

[alpine zephyr]

My mind set. Can’t do damage if you can’t survive. Why I love HB. Plus it’s really easy to build stacks

[neon wyvern]

hb doesn't do enough damage that's why blue strikers is a better balance

[alpine zephyr]

“Eats popcorn”

[gusty hull]

So guys

What’s the BEST builds you NEED

[prisma beacon]

i like the changes coming to DZ daily projects, might make it easier to just get in and out

[timber hatch]

Striker is currently in a similar situation to where hunters fury was about a year ago, where everyone just assumed it was the go.to.build for everything and made everything else obsolete. The truth is that it's a very good setup, but it's not the best build for everything like so many seem to think

[alpine zephyr]

According to build discussion. Only striker

[kind veldt]

i shouldnt be allowed in any discussion really, since i vote for the OD party

[alpine zephyr]

Fact. I check builds before countdown starts and I see so many striker players die quick in challenging and heroic

[kind veldt]

everyone knows ongoing directive with AK is the best build

[neon wyvern]

striker players running nbb and picaros holster don't count

[prisma beacon]

i run HB because im an absolute coward and want to play the game with a big blue bar

[neon wyvern]

theres equally bad hb players

[kind veldt]

i just run HB when i'm being lazy and realize that i will have to take damage more than i want to

[alpine zephyr]

Fair enough 😂😂😂😂

[neon wyvern]

tfw nbb 5pc heartbreaker in legendary matchmaking

[kind veldt]

which ended up being stovepipe

[prisma beacon]

6 blue heartbreaker with shield and decoy, enemies just stop shooting and ask me 'who hurt you?'

[neon wyvern]

enemies stop shooting you and focus on the people doing damage

[prisma beacon]

lol, i mostly play solo

[real creek]

When I run HB I use the blue bar so I can drop shield and run at them without cover more.

[neon wyvern]

me with memento trophies:

[prisma beacon]

this right here, the blue bar maximizes the amount of time i can keep enemies in the crosshairs, blue bar go brr

[alpine zephyr]

I do find it funny how in most missions I join. Im the one taking damage more than anyone else. Even if there’s a 12k shade player in there or not 😂 I run coyote HB with St elmos

[real creek]

People complaining about KB, well just use that bonus armor as a cushion and run and stuff it down their throats.

[prisma beacon]

time on target = dps

[alpine zephyr]

4 piece red 2 piece blue

My HB is 4 piece red and 2 blue core

[neon wyvern]

hb with st elmos what do you do against black tusk

[alpine zephyr]

I shoot them 😂😂

[real creek]

I will say once you go regulus HF HH it's like a new world opens up.

[prisma beacon]

thats what makes HF so damn good is it forces you to rush in and that playstyle maximizes your time on target

whereas strikers rewards good time on target

[lunar hare]

im kinda new to seeing all these HB and KB, what do they mean? srry if its a stupid question lmao

[neon wyvern]

robots don't have heads

[real creek]

Incogneato you run IH yet?

[neon wyvern]

so rip ur damage

[prisma beacon]

no, im scared

as usuall, im sure ill do good, i havent even looked at a yt of it, ive been having fun with golden bullet

[real creek]

breh gotta get started on that regulus project.

[alpine zephyr]

Ergo why I use the spec that gives 12% extra damage on them. Robots aren’t a problem. Also I can gain stacks on them cause I run jammer or scanner depending on the mission

[prisma beacon]

i already have a magnum

lol

[real creek]

I wouldn't yt it tho. Just run it with a teaching group.

[prisma beacon]

are you running one any time soon?

[alpine zephyr]

How often do those go, cause I really want to learn them

[real creek]

I ran some yesterday.

[prisma beacon]

im a patient dude, if you remember next time you run one ping me

[real creek]

I mean for PC multipule times a day. Console I don't really know.

[alpine zephyr]

Gonna keep an eye out. I do find it weird you can match make for the raid though

[real creek]

Yeah in the LFG discords I'm in I see 4 going right now.

[exotic blaze]

That's only for discovery

[alpine zephyr]

Any chance you can send an invite so I can join those please?

[prisma beacon]

regulus is the headshot go 5m boom right?

[small spear]

headshot kill

[prisma beacon]

i really love the changes to projects, im reading over them and the rewards are so much better

night and day better, like i actually want to do DZ now

sweat be damned

[real creek]

They are all PC discords tho. Aren't you PS?

[full zinc]

In the few I did I just used standard highend red. No stack that way. Striker > hb on raids also because there are a few places striker will be able to stack where hb wont

[alpine zephyr]

Yeah, some LFG discords run it for all platforms

[tardy tangle]

like GCROCK

[alpine zephyr]

Which I’m in

[full zinc]

Later input I think tho, disregard if past it

[alpine zephyr]

Love the plug

[timber hatch]

This discord has done it's best to kill lfging here as much as possible

[real creek]

sadge

I really do miss official LFGs. I probably taught well over 100 people the DH raid in here. Good memories man.

[alpine zephyr]

Why is the LFG dead here??

[full zinc]

You're gonna have to carry me to an eagleburger soon I think 😎

[timber hatch]

RIP voice channels. They also killed the console lfg channels by combining Xbox and PSN lfgs into 1 channel, which just confused everything and made people go elsewhere

[real creek]

#discord-news message

[real creek]

You have an EB right?

[full zinc]

No 😂

[real creek]

this guy

[full zinc]

I dont even have a completed dh

I dont actually need an eb but I should get through dh at some point

[random quest]

Yeah, don't think I'm gonna be running 2x IH tonight so I can get the materials before reset for reggie next week - alas, another week it is

[full zinc]

Did you run earlier in the week?

[real creek]

Be a lot cooler if you did.

[random quest]

I did one run, but we missed a chest (the timed one I think) so I didn't get enough materials for one project, and never got around to a second run as I've had some family sickness taking my focus whenever an IH run is going (like when souless had a soul and dm'ed me about one)

[full zinc]

Even on a full run you'll still be 8 mats short

[real creek]

Oh bro that was a sewers raid too. Stuff is gold, sad you missed it.

[jagged leaf]

fast way to get shd up? (i’m level 71)

[full zinc]

Open world. Heroic control points with directives

Executions, hostage rescue, and propaganda also fast xp

[jagged leaf]

jus tryna get 1k so i can actually go in pvp places

i’ve been on n off since release lol

[full zinc]

Heroic 4d controlpoint is an shd for each cleared

Solid dps or headhunter build and you'll clear fast

[sacred leaf]

Does skill damage also translate to status effect damage

[full zinc]

Something like fire can use both skill damage and status effects

[small spear]

it works but generally you are trading the same attribute for either and status effects are the better choice

if it's damage from a skill, it works with skill damage, simple as that

[random quest]

So you'd still need 3 runs in 1 week to get all the materials for both projects?

[full zinc]

2 runs on different agents for mats. Once 1 project complete the mats are refunded for the second project

[sacred leaf]

Ok i run EP with the capacitor and thought the damage from the 40 stacks wouldnt translate

I know scorpio is probably better but i dont have it yet

[random quest]

Aaahh, alright. But yeah, would need to run 2x IH tonight - might be doable tho.
I can just run it on 1 character then swap over the gear to another, then run there?

[full zinc]

It does but something like fire snapshots current skilldamage right as it's being fired. Once the fire is sent any cap stacks gained* wont translate

[sacred leaf]

Ohhh okay so if im using fire chem launcher the fire generated wont do increased damage from capacitor?

[full zinc]

Cap can easily add 200k to your burn ticks but cap needs to be stacked before firing off your skill

[sacred leaf]

Yeah i always make sure its at least over 30 before using a skill

I also use vile mask but it kinda sucks

[full zinc]

Another good backup is an insync mop or test subject/harmony

Are you using the ep bag?

[sacred leaf]

I used the grudge 90% crit damage

[sacred leaf]

Yes

[full zinc]

Ok cool. Stacked you should be seeing close to 500k on chem and 700k on burn sticky for ticks.

[sacred leaf]

The skills use are chem launcher and fire turret, should i switch turret to bleed hive? @full zinc

[alpine zephyr]

just so everyone knows. servers will be down for 3 hours tomorrow estimated. 9:30 cet. just saw the division 2 twitter post it

[full zinc]

Fire sticky or maybe stinger hive

Fire chem stays obv

[raw dock]

does anyone know if difficulty matters for the ridgeway armor blueprint? i've been trying to matchmake but seems to be nobody plays this damn summit

thinking about soloing on normal

[sacred leaf]

Thanks

[full zinc]

Not anymore. Pieces drop in 20 floor sections

Will drop on normal

[raw dock]

I have all 5 pieces just need the blueprint

[full zinc]

Should be fine on any difficulty

[real creek]

So you need floor 100 then right?

Is that how you get the project?

[raw dock]

as far as I know yeah

and I have checkpoint on floor 81, just not keen on doing 20 floors solo on higher diff

[warm shadow]

So weird question, is it possible to access the past seasons story line? It felt weird as a new player jumping into the game after WONY and doing the current season with no idea what has happened between those events. I know you can get the manhunts buts thats it, no way to access the old stuff that I found.

[real creek]

I have a floor 100 checkpoint. I plop you into it in a couple hours when I get home.

[gaunt quest]

hi chat can someone tell me in #ask-td2-community

[random quest]

don't cross post like that - if someone has an answer, they'll reply

[gaunt quest]

alr ma bad

[unreal cargo]

hi, i have TD2 but never play it

[keen lily]

How we gonna unlock the Vindicator exotic? Available in the NSA store, so we just gonna buy it?

[kind veldt]

yeah

around 350 NSA credits

[keen lily]

Did they mention that in the stream?

[alpine zephyr]

all i know is. you get it from descent

[kind veldt]

that's how it was on the PTS

[keen lily]

Aaah makes sense

Thank you Bird

[crisp lily]

what do people usually do when a new season comes out (first time around for that)? Will most people focus on farming LZ for Exp to finish the reward track fast? Is it a good idea to matchmake for random activity the next couple of days?

[unreal cargo]

anyone think TD3 will be on PS4?

[broken solstice]

not a chance

[unreal cargo]

thanks for the hope

[broken solstice]

sorry i could be wrong

but probably not

[unreal cargo]

the Solid State Drive can make things happen yea

PS4 lacks a SSD

[broken solstice]

by the time div3 comes out though

ps4 is gonna be so old

[unreal cargo]

PS4 games are still being released though

like with God of War

[broken solstice]

in 3 or 4 years will they be?

[unreal cargo]

no idea

[random quest]

Yeah, true, at that point it's probably for a PS5 Pro - if not a newer gen

[azure lintel]

nah

[unreal cargo]

but The Division Heartland will be on PS4?

40 player PvPvE?

[real creek]

I mean PS6 will probably be out before div 3...

[unreal cargo]

yea thats possible

[proud tartan]

Where can I go to watch the div recap? I missed it.

[tired granite]

kek just witness a helicopter in the recruiter mission phased through the map and the soldiers getting deployed mid air without the heli.... this is hilarious

[unreal cargo]

ill look at TD Heartland

a BR Game i may be interested in

[timber hatch]

The PS4 was released over a decade ago now, you can't expect it's just going to be able to play all future games. It also hardly runs games like div2 now anyways and is locked into 30fps

[unreal cargo]

@timber hatch one thing PS5 lacks is gaming from an external drive

to have more PS5 storage, the user has to change the drive in the console

internally

[broken solstice]

its more a chip issue than a storage issue i imagine

[keen lily]

Can we recalibrate the Festive Delivery backpack? Cannot see that in the notes

[timber hatch]

I see that as a benefit tbh, it's much easier and safer to just have an SSD stored inside and not external

[unreal cargo]

@broken solstice if im not mistaken, PS5 is preinstalled with a 1TB SSD

games like COD is over 100GB

[azure lintel]

games can be made compatible for the ps4 but that would just cost way too much money for a company

[broken solstice]

yeah im not disputing its potential to hold the game. im talking about processing power

[timber hatch]

It's also very simple to add/change the internal SSD in the PS5, it takes like 5 minutes

[azure lintel]

250gb for mw3, maybe a tiny bit less

[unreal cargo]

@azure lintel wow.... just wow...

[azure lintel]

cuz u needa download warzone + mw2 + something else

having mw3 on ps4 would be the final aircraft experience ngl

[unreal cargo]

i believe the PS5 supports 8TB SSD... its near $800

[azure lintel]

Yea but its ridiculous to pay more and waste 1TB

thats why im on PC, you got full control + can do anything with it

[unreal cargo]

tv console has been a thing for me since Sega Genesis

can talk about xDefiant here?

[random quest]

#off-topic-discussions

[unreal cargo]

k

any word on a The Divsion Heartland release or anything?

[brave musk]

Nothing for now unfortunately !

[unreal cargo]

Ubisoft was working on a Ghost Recon BR style game

TDH will replace that

[brave musk]

Yeah it was Frontline.

[unreal cargo]

yea

wasn't recieved well

[alpine zephyr]

when is that getting released?

[unreal cargo]

@alpine zephyr no ide

all i know is...

The Division Heartland and Ressurgence and 3 is being worked on

Ressurgence is for mobile?

[broken solstice]

yup

[unreal cargo]

not Ubisofts only mobile game

Assassin's Creed Jade

logging off shortly

is Ubisoft's Snow Drop engine only for The Division? I know Ubisoft has Anvil

[bitter wraith]

When's PR out?

As in what time

[undone light]

hi i am a beginner, i got 4 pieces of striker gear and famas now, what should i get for other slots? also whats the better skill combination, crusader/striker shield + striker drone or something else?

[bitter wraith]

Shield and reviver or shield and riot foam

[wary tundra]

3:30am ET

[bitter wraith]

Damn

[unreal cargo]

g2g

[bitter wraith]

Hoped for like 8 or 9 hrs before so that I could play tonight

Even if only for 10 min

[brave musk]

The next Far Cry game will use Snowdrop if I'm not mistaken.

[unreal cargo]

i read something on Far Cry

[brave musk]

Also Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws also use Snowdrop

[unreal cargo]

return to its old days or something

[undone light]

crusader ok? or should i go for striker shield? currently i am gunnery specced for armor bonuses

[tired granite]

must i get the 1 year pass to do classified assignments?

[unreal cargo]

peace

fades

[bitter wraith]

Striker

[lunar hare]

I guess so, haven't done any classified assignments ever lol

[pine pond]

What does TD2/TD1 Favour AMD Or Intel?

[tired granite]

AMD is obv better to use... imo

[undone light]

thanks

[bitter wraith]

Exotics will be reconfigurable? Probably still farm countdown tbh

[pine pond]

And performance gains?

[full zinc]

Yes if you want to run the classified

[raw dock]

got it solo, but thx

[tired granite]

Feels faster while running high settings of graphics and all.

[alpine zephyr]

classifieds reset tomorrow. cant wait to run them all again

[timber hatch]

Crusader if your not running firewall, striker if you are. Striker is a clear upgrade, but if your not running firewall then crusader is still one of the best skills in the game

[tired granite]

Sadge so I can't collect the ice cream cone collectible..

[alpine zephyr]

cant wait to test striker out tomorrow and see the power of a 6 blue core striker build for general use and then a 6 full red core build for raids and such

[stone wind]

Keener was right

[alpine zephyr]

keeners alive

[stone wind]

He is alive in all of us

[fair lake]

I'm curious - with the Skill Mods change, does it mean, that having one max. mod (let's say 6% Crit Chance) will be spread account wide or we will have to refarm everything on every character? And what will happen with duplicates of the same top mods?

[broken solstice]

gear mods like chc arent subject to this change

if you have duplicates of max skill mods such as burn strength or something, then i suggest separating them into different characters inventories

[fair lake]

Ohhh, I got it. It's all about SKILL mods (I'm dumb)

Thank you for clarifying

[broken solstice]

yep

[bitter wraith]

Bro used his reviver hive

[kind veldt]

Wasnt healing trap part of the excuse for hornet being alive?

[low fulcrum]

im getting this game this weekend

i have it on pc but it no work because of my crappy laptop :(

im on ALL low settings

[hybrid ore]

Make sure you buy it on heavy sale, it regularly goes for 70%+ off

[low fulcrum]

i know its ending in 7 days but im gonna buy it on friday

im getting the season pass, warlords of NY, and the base game

[hybrid ore]

The new season starts tonight after the maintenance, the maintenance starts in about 9.5 hours.

[low fulcrum]

im gonna play NY first so i can get all the hunter masks and really just explore the atmosphere ik u start with DC but im gonna start with NY

the hunter masks are my favorite collectibles in any game because i have a character in my comics that has a "hunter mask" but its just a regular green ballistic mask

[hybrid ore]

There is actually over 25 of them in the game at this point, which is including more than one Hunter Puzzle with multiple hunters there.

the bulk of them are in DC though.

[low fulcrum]

ill start in DC then i guess

[hybrid ore]

You go back there after WONY anyway, so play whichever order you want.

you can freely travel back and forth actually.

[low fulcrum]

yeah and WONY isn't that long

[distant plank]

is countdown basically impossible to play solo?

[bitter wraith]

Did they mention anything about dz for tomorrow or no?

[kind veldt]

You can read the patchnotes for the specifics

[bitter wraith]

Would be a dream come true if they added a solo option for the dz but guess that's wishing too much

[full zinc]

thats actually a great idea 💯

[hybrid ore]

The idea with Countdown is that you matchmake on chall/heroic, you find a team fast.

[hybrid ore]

This has been brought up for years, the answer has always been pretty much "no".

[solar radish]

where are the full patchnotes? the ones in patch notes is just a recap

[bitter wraith]

And then on top of that they had to go and change targeted loot in the dz from not needing extraction to being contaminated

Actually maybe that was a bug...

But still would be good if they changed the dz for solo people

[undone timber]

What were the big takeaways from the stream

[full zinc]

totally defeats the purpose of the dz. just run open world solo

[bitter wraith]

Can't get dz exclusive in open world though

[full zinc]

named caches

[undone timber]

That's kinda the point of DZ exclusives

[full zinc]

clan vendor for yaahl

legacy caches for system

[bitter wraith]

1 in 300 of something worthwhile 💀

[full zinc]

ive got multiple copies of dz exclusives and actually have 2 dz's undiscovered still

[maiden belfry]

Is the update live?

[bitter wraith]

System corruption from legacies since WHEN?

[undone timber]

Since always lol

[full zinc]

since a long time

[undone timber]

Whenever Sysco came out

[bitter wraith]

aggressively starts farming countdown

[full zinc]

lmao, never need to goto dz at all

[hybrid ore]

35 pages, honestly it's hard to narrow it down.

[full zinc]

most of the "exclusives" are fairly trash anyways

[undone timber]

That's a lotta patches

[hybrid ore]

Honestly, there's a grand total of like <10 good DZ locked things, most of which are replacable.

[full zinc]

im sure nothing breaks and it all goes really smooth

kard custom is the only thing i can think of thats really worth. yaahl is usefull but if you hit clan vendor it seems to go on sale every couple months for material stock up

yaahl is a good way to waste 600 shd on cash

[undone timber]

Kard custom and emperors guards are ones I see along with yaahl sometimes

[bitter wraith]

Predicting CD breaks again and server off for 3 hours extra

[full zinc]

cd is fine right now, go get some

[maiden belfry]

Bro, don't tell me Kelso is gonna get Lau'd

[bitter wraith]

I meant when the update is out

[full zinc]

im not even sure theyre making any changes with cd tbh.. maybe i missed it tho

[hybrid ore]

Wait is emperor's guard actually used for something?

[maiden belfry]

Dropped items are now of Legendary Difficulty quality equivalent.
😱

[full zinc]

that +20% explosive damage on grupo looking pretty sexy to a mortar bum

[undone timber]

I see it in diag builds but as you said very niche

[maiden belfry]

It was popular in PvP for stacking armor regen to 3%, emphasis on was

[full zinc]

yeah new regen buffs incoming, correct?

[bitter wraith]

On what game mode?

[maiden belfry]

All this time playing Conflict, I deserved Legendary quality items, 😠

[hybrid ore]

I've got like 5 copies from Named Item caches anyway, but I'm glad to see that they continue to be useless.

[bitter wraith]

artillery explosions in the background

[maiden belfry]

Yes, people, we can finally play Conflict again without BS

All players joining Conflict will have their Expertise and SHD Watch bonuses removed.

[full zinc]

thats my jam most of the time 😈

[hybrid ore]

I am genuinely looking forward to the angry div2 youtubers who complain about the SHD health removal.

[maiden belfry]

Why does it say SHD watch bonuses? There are more than one bonus? I thought the only bonus is health

[hybrid ore]

To me "SHD watch bonus" reads as, well, everything you get from it.

[bitter wraith]

My friend said when he was in the clan area he could hear my artillery in the shooting range when he was in his inventory

[full zinc]

its not even that significant . its less than an armor core currently in the 30k-40k shd range... not many even gonna be losing much

[bitter wraith]

Someone I knew had like 20k and got banned (exploit user)

[hybrid ore]

No I mean like, the ones with 5million SHD+.

the exploiters who MSV didn't ban and now we know why.

[full zinc]

i dont see those anymore. i have plenty on my list between 10k-30k tho. thats getting a lot more common

[hybrid ore]

I backup called a 100k last night.

it's so much more satisfying to see them stay in and lose their health.bonus than just see them make an alt and grind it out again via exploits.

[full zinc]

nice, last i saw that high was right before the rollback

[hybrid ore]

It reminds me of how in some games the devs don't ban you for cheating, they mess with you.
like the first arkham game they just make batman's cape not work.

[full zinc]

yeah there are some creative anticheats out there 😆

[hybrid ore]

It's hilarious, and the best part is that it made the game incompletable about 3/4 of the way through.

[undone timber]

Warzone giving players the tools to troll cheaters lol

[maiden belfry]

All repair skills (Mender seeker, Reinforcer Chem Launcher, Fixer Drone, Restorer Hive) now give a 50% hazard protection bonus for 5 seconds per target.
This is huge, does this mean you can equip 50% HZP and then basically drop a chem heal at your feet and erase enemy status effect lol

[full zinc]

yeah thats really good

pvp gonna be the wild west

[hybrid ore]

I smell a new Backfire meta!

[undone timber]

👀

[full zinc]

no no no no no /s

[oak prawn]

Hello

[maiden belfry]

I'm playing Conflict again for sure, all I wanted is for them to get rid of expertise and they delivered beyond that, I'm happy

[full zinc]

new phone, who dis?

[bitter wraith]

Forgot about the backfire after the ourboros arrived

[full zinc]

whats good buddy

[oak prawn]

Been a while deck

[full zinc]

i know, you ready for next season

[oak prawn]

Meh

[full zinc]

🤣

[oak prawn]

Haven't really been playing TD2 lately

I hop on once a month

Just to see what's new

[full zinc]

all good, keeps the burnout away that way

[oak prawn]

This season looks interesting from what I read

[full zinc]

me, im just cracked. no such thing as burnout anymore

[broken solstice]

that reminds me. i just got a dupe decoy duration mod i gotta move to an alt

[full zinc]

yeah i cleared out some of my stuff after reading

[oak prawn]

I wonder will that pistol be as broken as the busy bee was at its launch

[maiden belfry]

Lower Skill Tier players will not apply Disrupt to higher Skill Tier players if the difference between them is bigger than 3 (same as jammer EMP).
THIS IS HUGE, that means status effects players can't be disrupted anymore, so DZ South campers in the staircase can pretty much easily get shut down with a yellow build

[oak prawn]

What is the state of the game atm

[maiden belfry]

A good time

[oak prawn]

Been playing a lot of genshin

Lately

And HSR

I'm probs not gonna buy the season pass this time

[full zinc]

its been decent and pretty stable. no crashing except once in a great while in cd when lab is the final obj.. the safe does it

[oak prawn]

I don't need the outfit u get from owning the pass

The apperal events though first 1 looks very interesting

[full zinc]

well hit me up and we'll grind out some of the free track

[hybrid ore]

Taken out your second mortgage yet?

[oak prawn]

Hey I'm not thst bad

[maiden belfry]

When moving, gain 4 stacks per second or 8 stacks if sprinting. Max stack is equal to the weapon's Mag Size. Each round fired consumes a stack, amplifying damage by 75%. Kills grant 20% movement speed for 10s.
Does this mean people will try to roll Lady Death third attribute to Mag Size?

[oak prawn]

Maybe tmrw sometime? I can dm you

[undone timber]

[hybrid ore]

Friend of mine dropped 2k on it.
some people I just do not get.

[full zinc]

sounds good

[oak prawn]

Oh ivs dropped 500

I get shafted every single time i pull 😭

[hybrid ore]

I know that if i got into it I'd start spending that kinda money and honestly, who has the time to go to debtors prison in 2024

[oak prawn]

U see it pays to have your own account that you can use

I have 2 accounts

[maiden belfry]

Should I try the new intimiate in PvP after update lol

[oak prawn]

Someone in a server I'm in spent 8 k on genshin

[hybrid ore]

Some people shouldn't have kids.

[full zinc]

so i kinda dont see health being all that important even with the massive health buffs. maybe more useful in pvp tho

[oak prawn]

I whale but not as bad

HSR though 💀

I need help

[full zinc]

spending 8k in a game... they definitly dont have kids 🤣

[maiden belfry]

I doubt it, with watch bonus out of the way, you chew through health very fast, but we'll see, I don't know what's the purpose of buffing health

[oak prawn]

What time ya free tmrw

[hybrid ore]

well not anymore lol

[full zinc]

early am, probably evening as well

[worldly sierra]

I've spent 10k in a game

[oak prawn]

My question is how do you got 8 k to spend on a gacha

[undone timber]

God knows

[worldly sierra]

Gta shark cards😎

[maiden belfry]

I'm super excited for this update and yall be talking about some stupid mobile game, smh

[oak prawn]

It's a gacha game cmon

[undone timber]

Just spam cayo

[oak prawn]

Not just mobile console and pc as well

[maiden belfry]

The Bighorn getting 10% weapon damage update, HEHEHEH, I'm definitely maining this gun

[worldly sierra]

Fr this update gonna be fire make me love div 2 even more and I already love it heaps but the rebalance with devs who listen even better

[oak prawn]

I'm still meh about division 2

[maiden belfry]

This update has everything I want AND more, maybe lacking a new PvP gamemode but that'll never happen

[worldly sierra]

No I can't I have over 5k hours in gta5 I've done over 300 bogdons and 100 cayo so no

[undone timber]

I anticipate the servers will be down for a while so time to hit up div1

[worldly sierra]

Never again

[oak prawn]

I'll be playing bbs

[worldly sierra]

Frrrrr

[undone timber]

Allat and you still needed more money?

[worldly sierra]

Yea I wanted everything in the game

[maiden belfry]

Can't wait to find out which gun is meta after update, look at all these +10% WD +5% WD

[undone timber]

Top contenders remain similar but the F2K has entered

[worldly sierra]

And most the bogdons I didn't actually get the money because I was running like 250 out of 300 for others

[undone timber]

The rest just become way more usable

Can't wait to get a hold of a dttooc eb

[maiden belfry]

I'll definitely be using my Shield Splinterer

[grand wind]

new skill mods account wide or..?

[lapis junco]

Eagle bearer will be meta

[oak prawn]

Eagle burger

[worldly sierra]

Eb St elmo and big horn my top favourites qt the moment

[maiden belfry]

Dog, EB is so easy to counter, just chicken dance so they can't hit your head

[worldly sierra]

the ouro meta

I bet

Thing does more damage has more speed then any gun

[oak prawn]

Ya meant the oreo

[maiden belfry]

Sad, I still haven't got the gun yet, #lfg-td2incursion-pc got no one who wants to start a lobby

[worldly sierra]

Mb the oreo

[worldly sierra]

Lfg

[oak prawn]

It's the oreo

[worldly sierra]

You will get someone in a click

[oak prawn]

I got mine already

[undone timber]

At this point you can random MM and it'll be relatively smooth

[worldly sierra]

I have everything but the nemesis and liberty

[maiden belfry]

All you have to do is look at previous players comments, no one responded to them

[worldly sierra]

Only 2 exotics I need

[undone timber]

Bro get nemesis right fucking now

[worldly sierra]

I have the BP but it won't drop

[undone timber]

Oh

Excellent

[worldly sierra]

Gotta wait a other 7 weeks for a chance to get the part I need

[undone timber]

The other parts are like 2 weeks max wut

[worldly sierra]

Because nemesis can't drop with just 2 parts and a blue print

[undone timber]

You get one from each stronghold and manning drops a random one

[worldly sierra]

You need to have crafted it before

[undone timber]

It can

[hybrid ore]

I feel like we've had this exact conversation before.

[worldly sierra]

It cannot trust me and we have but trust me

[undone timber]

We have lmao

[undone timber]

It can

[worldly sierra]

I have done that many Dam countdowns I legit wrote it down and I've now done 63 countdowns and 91 floor 10 on marksman

[hybrid ore]

The Nemesis has been out since 2019, people have had it almost as long as you've had your discord account.

April 2019 it was added. I know, right? time flies.

[worldly sierra]

Still I should have it by now

[maiden belfry]

Daniel: Increases total weapon damage by 1% per 5% bonus armor gained, up to 20%.
The cooler Daniel: Increases total weapon damage by 2% per 5% bonus armor gained, up to 20%.
What the hell, guys, this is the exactly same talent, the damage gained is still 20% cap

[undone timber]

Just bad rng

[hybrid ore]

Just do 2 more strongholds on Invaded, it's really not that complex.
1 week at most if you do the one this week too.

you'll have it next reset, you can have your Nemesis tomorrow.

(it's still 4 pieces right? I haven't done mine in like 5 years)

[small spear]

yeah

[worldly sierra]

Yeah it is but I don't know what missions drop what
