[neon wyvern]

you can craft an m700 carbon and that's it for building career

[undone timber]

Who the fuck is using a damn g28

[candid arch]

Determined is fine, it is actually fun to play with. The perfect version on other hand is sh!t

[undone timber]

It is undeniably busted

[patent glacier]

just something i would like to point out, future perfect is underated

[neon wyvern]

It's busted but it's also the reason mmrs are actually reliable and not gimmick weapons

[undone timber]

I genuinely can't wait for that entertainment

[kind veldt]

They were high risk high reward

[full zinc]

Itll be a funny day

[kind veldt]

They are 0 risk full reward with determined

[undone timber]

truly

[neon wyvern]

tfw you shoot an explosive drone and lose all hh stacks

a support station too

[undone timber]

Tfw you hit a helmet

Hyena rushers got me feeling like

[full zinc]

I make salt free popcorn, you'll have to bring your own or harvest it from the 😭

[patent glacier]

remember when ubisoft basically reworked the entire game and used the stupid people who bought the game on release as a beta test, then proceeded to sell the game for 3 dollars

[undone timber]

Salted popcorn is life

[candid arch]

In the end Yannick said they don't want to nerf anything that is fun, so you can cry as much as you want, but they will not change Determined

[patent glacier]

W

[neon wyvern]

not changing determined is much easier then doing multiple steps of rework in order to make mmrs a reliable gun without theone shot body shot talent

[undone timber]

All the fun shit that got nerfed sitting in the corner awkwardly

[patent glacier]

fun? that's not allowed, go away

[neon wyvern]

pts doctor home was fun

[patent glacier]

we need more modes that feel like jobs with exotics that cater to builds that are already broken though ( coughs up an ourobos )

[undone timber]

Mantis I hear was on track to become a top tier option

[frosty wadi]

Its bugged into the game currently

[undone timber]

Behind you was gonna be busted

[undone timber]

Apparently it doesn't actually give you kits though

Just a visual thing or something

[frosty wadi]

I still personally believe if shouldve been rifle exclusive then it could’ve been higher

But oh well

[patent glacier]

i still dont understand why doctor home forces you to scope in

[neon wyvern]

they did both

15% amp and rifle and mmr exclusive

[undone timber]

Built in optic on an m1a for whatever reason

[frosty wadi]

Make rifles good

[patent glacier]

i use what i like so i still use rifles despite the fact they are considered not good

[undone timber]

I've always wondered how we'd go about doing this besides the obvious give them a gear set

[patent glacier]

i just find non-auto guns funner for some reason

even using that one semi M4 over the M1A

i wish they were better though it feels like they need slight buffs

[full zinc]

M1a classic and cqb are 😍

[kind veldt]

Semi auto rifles were not made to be spammed at max rof

[frosty wadi]

If the lvoa ever becomes genuinely decent, never using any other gun again

[kind veldt]

So low damage semi auto weapons that high rof are bad

[full zinc]

Let's petition for a8 to be expanded to rifles

[kind veldt]

Make all above 20 rounds rifle be burst fire

[patent glacier]

what if all weapon classes had an extra selectible passive buff that made them not suck or something like that

like a class but for guns

like another talent but you have to do something super extra specific

[kind veldt]

Isnt that what rifle, shotgun, smg category bonus are?

[frosty wadi]

The m16 being the only burst rifle is like ubi just teasing us with good guns

[neon wyvern]

agree

[undone timber]

I just don't wanna have to break my fingers to use them

Like I beg

[full zinc]

Ig he wasnt thinking about f10 nerf when he made that statement 😂

[patent glacier]

train your fingers

[kind veldt]

People dont break their fingers using M1A classic and 1886

[undone timber]

It is carpal tunnel incarnate

[patent glacier]

turn that carpal tunnel into a carpal paradise

[frosty wadi]

Accessibility fully auto rifles when

[full zinc]

Nah, rifles are gold. Nego m1a 😍

[neon wyvern]

accessibility full auto six12 when

[undone timber]

Lwm4 has an rpm of like 420 or some shit like I wish I could hit that without my fingers falling off

[patent glacier]

accessibility 5000 fire rate vector when ( it hurts my fingers )

[undone timber]

Like I hate how you have to click in some kind of rythm to maintain fire rate on semi autos

[full zinc]

If you weren't a console pleb you could bind mouse wheel to fire 🤣

[kind veldt]

Thats because LWM4, LVOA-C and ACR SS are bad weapons

[frosty wadi]

Like some of the rifles deadass can shoot fast enough to a point it looks like full auto, we need an accessibility feature

[undone timber]

Like the fire rate is really inconsistent sometimes

[patent glacier]

i would come to pc if only ubisoft would add crossplay

PC players when they find out the average affordable computer gpu runs like a shit console:

[undone timber]

Listen man leave me and my mini fridge alone

[kind veldt]

Also didnt they remove shooting to mouse wheel exactly because of previous exploits in ROF?

[neon wyvern]

just get a modded controller

[full zinc]

No excuses, all the xp buffs* recently you would hit 1k in less than a week

[patent glacier]

im not playing the raids again on pc to get all of my exotics and then try to get memento and coyote

[full zinc]

Maybe, I've never actually tried to bind it. Was just a thing ppl did back in the day

[patent glacier]

then go get nemesis just to get my build back

[undone timber]

[kind veldt]

People did it in the first game so that got patched out

[full zinc]

Fair. Console plebs stay there... nothing for you here 🍻

[kind veldt]

To make the burst fire MP5 fire in full auto while having like 20% more base damage

[patent glacier]

enjoy your unplayable DZ and conflict because everyone on PC is cheating

🔥

[neon wyvern]

🤯

[undone timber]

I raise you everyone complaining about crashes

[neon wyvern]

same

[full zinc]

I still have undiscovered dz. Jokes on you 😂

[neon wyvern]

imagine crashing

[patent glacier]

no crashes on console and yet PC suffers, ratio

[undone timber]

[lapis junco]

i mean, not really lol

[patent glacier]

imagine running worse than a console sometimes guys

[plush jay]

how many of yall r on cronus 💀

[lapis junco]

in the past week of playing DZ i havent hit a single cheater in DZ or conflict

[neon wyvern]

not it

[patent glacier]

it must really feel bad knowing ubisoft failed to fix pc exlusive bugs for an entire year, perhaps ubisoft can make the division 3 a console exclusive if it ever comes out since they refuse to add cross save

[patent glacier]

what reason would anyone use a cronus in a game like this

[neon wyvern]

pvp

[patent glacier]

people play pvp?

[plush jay]

DZ mate, they wildin

[neon wyvern]

🚎

[undone timber]

That shit gets you banned on playstation at least

Idk if Microsoft cracked down already

But they got rid of console mnk

[undone timber]

[timber hatch]

Believe it or not, your not solely representative of the entire player base, and not everything revolves around you

[plush jay]

oh damn really? How they doin that

[patent glacier]

ah yes i am aware, i just am absolutely suprised that people enjoy the current state of "balancing" in this totally flawless and absolutely not flawed at all pvp system

[undone timber]

Idk they implemented some kind of technology to detect it

[plush jay]

gootcha

[full zinc]

Ooo white name in the chat... someone ragequit 🤔

[undone timber]

Is this a case of my phone not updating it or did something get removed

[neon wyvern]

rip

[random quest]

I like determined for the simple reason I'm an AWP main in CS. It gives an equally satisfying feeling. I hope it's never changed. Not because I want to be "OP CHEESE", but because I like the way it plays.

[kind veldt]

Honestly determined could have worked as an exotic

it would solve a lot of problems

[gaunt quest]

hi*

[midnight salmon]

#server-status message

[copper shoal]

There is no real pvp in division.

[odd totem]

Did the legacy manhunts and no bp’s 🥲. And if anyone is wondering if you can get the shield splinter and hunter killer bp’s, you can get them from reconstructed caches playing decent.

Not sure if you can get the sp and hk bps if you haven’t killed all the hunters yet and gotten the keys tho.

[copper shoal]

It's only a few hours that the game is not playable tomorrow morning.

[elfin hazel]

and yet people act as if its the end of the world some times

I CANNOT get catharsis to drop for me whatsoever it’s becoming very annoying

[quaint prairie]

what’s the daily target loot for the dark zones?

[full zinc]

Lootcifer sacrifices are the answer.
He likes heroic countdown extraction wipes. Preferably with a hacked t6 stinger hive 💀

[civic ridge]

Did everyone else also just DC from servers or is it just ZA?

[frosty wadi]

Bruh an unoptimized mk47 with behind you is doing better than vindicator

💀

[marble fern]

Can someone on PC PLEASE help me spawn the Wraith Hunter?

[kind veldt]

vindicator is just not good

could imagine if they nerfed lady death to 20% amplified damage? thats the situation for vindicator feels like

[kindred stream]

Vindicators headshot damage is decent, but its not good enough to ignore its horrid talent and ammo cost.

Like... If you got vindi and rav.. Juat use ravenous.

[kind veldt]

the talent doesnt compensate not aiming for headshot + MDR unique quirks that make you lose damage

[kindred stream]

Exactly. Like its counterproductive. Its another bighorn tbh. A novelty item

On a fun note. i learned ravenous can break 1-2 or more armor cores of the lovebirds armor with its explosives in 1 mag if you proc full strykers.

[kind veldt]

big horn is good tho

[fiery cloud]

Hey Local, .drib, seraphite

[kindred stream]

Is bighorn good now?

hadnt touched it since like... Early year 4

[kind veldt]

it was already decent, now it's stronger

they buffed it's damage and talent so it stacks faster

[kindred stream]

Wouldnt say it was decent, it did one thing good bakc then, break weakpoints. And even then...mantis did it better and faster tbh

[kind veldt]

i used it a lot it had absurd burst DPS before

people really understimate how much HS damage it had when enemy got close to you to dump an entire magazine on their head

[kindred stream]

i cant think of any fun uses for ouroboros' talent still....

Its an op gun but that talent man...

Desperately need some sorta self status set already

[haughty knoll]

So can anyone help me out how to actually progress this game? me and my buddy just hit around watch level 10.. and seems like alot to getting into building good farming builds and such to play on higher tiers..

[frosty wadi]

I just tried out the new exotic gloves

It is legitimately the worst exotic in the game

Nobody asked for it and it’s barely useful

Somehow I almost feel like they didn’t even fix the bug from the pts where half of the benefits straight up weren’t there

[full zinc]

What's good Saph

[sweet zodiac]

Hello all, I wanted to ask on how to get St. Elmo's Engine?

[kindred stream]

Random drop

[kindred stream]

Dont say that like the empress glare holsterdoesnt exist lol

[frosty wadi]

That has legitimately more use than the new gloves

[kindred stream]

I dunno man.

The gloves are useless...but cmon, a weak one off burn every 30 seconds?

thats as bad as it gets.

[frosty wadi]

That exotic doesn’t require you to play differently

The gloves do

And they just straight up don’t work

[kindred stream]

No it doesnt? It only requires blindfiring or hipfiring, which you do sometimes anyways. Though it doesnt do jack all thats true

it should be complete accuracy if anything instead

[frosty wadi]

It needs a full ass rework because nobody wants to use it and its just awful

The most worthless exotic in the game

[kindred stream]

Also. I had a very fun but bad idea. 2 piece exuro and 3 piece eclipse with ninjabike bp for burn spreads that last a decade lol

not gon a be good but itd be funny

I do agree its worthless entirely tho. The bp armor exotics been missing rapidly.

collector, rugged. Yikes.

ninjabike bp is cool but kinda pointless i thino

the big W was bloody knucks since its a borderline free 25% damage

[frosty wadi]

Shocker to an extent

[kindred stream]

Yeah shockers a weird 50/50

its got its uses but not over coyotes or sum

[frosty wadi]

I find it funny how easily the devs could buff most of the exotics in the game, they just choose not to

Ninjabike kneepads easily could be good if it got buffed

[kindred stream]

Right? Like its simple, break them.

[unique bramble]

The problem with shocker is about the need of using another exotic so that exotic can work properly, like those exotic sets from div1

[kindred stream]

80% of the issues is they suck SO BAD that even mediocre is better.

so the best solution is cranking to 11.

[frosty wadi]

Legit if we had an entire update dedicated to just buffing like 8 or so gear exotics, the game would instantly be more fun

[kindred stream]

hey does ortiz turret still proc ridgeways?

Or did that get fixed.

[frosty wadi]

Example, add 25% extra weapon damage to the already existing buff, instantly makes the exotic more worth while

[kindred stream]

CTC movements giving damage buffs woukd be ideal to gameplay too.

[frosty wadi]

I genuinely cannot understand why msv doesn’t buff exotic gear items, like ever

They know a lot of them arent ever used

[kindred stream]

part of the issue is they dont exactly...listen to their community tbh

[frosty wadi]

The reason stuff like coyotes and memento are so used is because nothing else gets remotely close to them

[kindred stream]

Conveniently my 2 high end build outdid the similiar with coyotrs

took off coyotes for striker head, and put foxs prayer on instead. Kept sacrifice.

it did roughly 1mil dps more

[frosty wadi]

Thats just glass cannon moment there

Point is, just started using ninja bike kneepads in game, its such an easy exotic to buff

Legit give it a damage buff to the existing buff and maybe increase the timer on the buff

Hell even imperial dynasty could actually be semi usable if the cooldown was shortened

[unique bramble]

Or if the fire was affected by your status effect stats

[frosty wadi]

We don’t need new exotics, we need exotics to actually be useful 🙏

[sterile scaffold]

Honestly I would like to see it where we can use more exotics at once, course not having everything be able to be an exotic but like being able to have two exotic weapons/two exotic armours at once would be nice

Like I could make a super solid build with Bighorn/Emlo and the exotic Banshee plus Ninja bike and like Ridgeways Pride

[frosty wadi]

Before you say anything else
Coyotes paired with memento is something we do not need to see

Also multiple exotic weapons would just lead to everyone using scorpio

[kindred stream]

Yeah atp multiple allowed exotics would make sense for how weak alot are seeing as theyd be GOOD if combimed

the limit should be 2 exoticd per one slot then the other slot can only hace one

[frosty wadi]

More than one exotic would just make the good exotics more busted

[kindred stream]

so 2 exotics guns 1 armor or vice versa. Course itd be hard to make that work tho.

id love to hybrid backfire and ouro lol

[sterile scaffold]

It's PvE, being able to melt enemies is half the fun

[kindred stream]

free bleed without using ridgeways

[frosty wadi]

Its still meant to be difficult

[sterile scaffold]

Meta chasers are always gonna do meta stuff, but let the casual peeps have their fun

[frosty wadi]

Most people should really only be using one weapon until they run out of ammo anyways

[sterile scaffold]

Well yeah, even with the build I have now if I push too hard I get punished for it, jacked DPS comes at a cost

I can still melt bosses and ads alike but if I'm reckless I get punished

Giving me more DPS doesn't change me getting punished for being reckless

I can already camp a spawn door with my Vector and just mow dudes down, giving me the added perk of two exotics would only make raids a bit easier

[frosty wadi]

That would just make the game insanely easy

[sterile scaffold]

Which could still be limited to the current way it is. Make it so raids/DZ/PvP has the normal limit while the rest is two exotics

[frosty wadi]

Its not healthy

[sterile scaffold]

The game is already insanely easy

[kindred stream]

Games already not healthy tbh. Strikers controls 80% of the gameplay.

[sterile scaffold]

DPS builds are just as braindead as they always have been, left click until dead

Skill builds actually need micro and have a curve, DPS is just stack numbers to win and aim for the head

[kindred stream]

The fact mindful builds are so underwhelmingly bad versus "hehe go brr" is not good as is

[sterile scaffold]

Yeah I'm actively kneecapping myself with my day to day build lol, like I could jack my DPS much higher if I wanted yet I don't because there is zero point

People are always gonna have meta builds and I guarantee even with two exotics for weapons and armour at the same time it still won't be meta to use them

[kind veldt]

two exotics would mean slapping memento in a bunch of builds for free stuff

[frosty wadi]

Coyotes on literally anything or scorpio

But yeah point is what we need is a game wide buff to most of the gear exotics

[azure lintel]

Yo someone told me commendation score makes u get better drops is that true or cap

[full zinc]

Nah, way too much power creep as it is

[full zinc]

That's bs. Difficulty and directives affect. Commendation means nothing in that regard

[drifting cape]

How much damage should white death build deal per shot? I deal only like 16-20 mil, I guess SHD level and lack of damage upgrade plays the main part at this point? I even use memento bag

[sterile scaffold]

Commendations are just to show off

[full zinc]

With 4hotshot chain killer airaldi vigilance top end whitedeath was around 28mil

Sub in memento and whitedeath was 24mil range

As it stands after resolve m700 variants all hit harder on the same build

Hsd doesnt have a real impact at the top end. Expertise upgrades on the other hand do.

[civic ridge]

Any luck in the end?

[smoky summit]

i FINALLY got the sokolov chest piece blueprint

[hollow zephyr]

Hello, can anyone explain to me why at some events such as. Hollywood Revived, Golden Bullet etc some of the needed parts of the missions count for all group members and some don't, if it's a group based shooter the objectives should count for everyone in the group and not just certain ones. Some of them counted for everyone in one event and in another the same part as current weak point kills counted for all group members and then in one case they didn't. Is this some kind of BUG or intentional? If that's what you want, why don't you mark which ones count for the group and which ones can only be done solo. I think that would be easier, but that's just my opinion

[frosty wadi]

Can you give an example

[hollow zephyr]

hm on the current revived u need to kill enemys with weakpoint kills. in some of other events there was a similar thing were it didnt counted for all but on other events were also a mission part was there u need to do it by yourself

or another example headshots wth specialisation weapon in the current event it only count when u do it by yourself not when groupmembers do it

[marble fern]

Didn't try yesterday, will today again

[hybrid ore]

Fair warning about DUA, I tried running it twice with a group today and both times it refused to open the first door upstairs.
ran it solo and it worked perfectly. So ymmv.

[odd totem]

Anyone try decent yet with the new rotation? 👀

Looks interesting

[hybrid ore]

There's an on-going discussion about it down in #td2-descent

[odd totem]

Thank you, forgot about the decent tab 😐

[frosty wadi]

I made a status effect damage setup because it has a lot of stuff involving bleed and blind

[neon mortar]

newb question, if I get an exotic I wanna use but rolls arent great I can only upgrade one stat locked in once I start?

[frosty wadi]

You have to reconfigure it

If its a weapon the third attribute will be random

[neon mortar]

ah deng I need blueprint didnt notice

alright ty

[frosty wadi]

You should be able to get the blueprint at the vendor next to reconfigure

[cunning forum]

can you share items that you extracted from the DZ with a teammate even if that teammate wasn't in the group when you got it

[undone timber]

I doubt it

[hybrid ore]

Teammate needs to be in the group when you obtain an item in order to share it, and only for an hour of play-time.

That's how it is for PvE, if it's different for PvP I'd be shocked.

[cunning forum]

someone wanna test it out? got a nice chestplate for a pvp mortar build that i already have

[frosty wadi]

Doesn’t work

You have to be in the lobby of someone for an item to be shared

Sharable items include the names of available players able to accept it

[cunning forum]

i do know that but i don~t know how it exactlz was in the DY

[azure lintel]

Well damn that puts a real wrench in a plan I had for endgame

[undone timber]

I like the system of play the game and (mostly) earn your stuff

That way people don't cheese themselves into hard activities

[hybrid ore]

The other big thing it does it not encourage "sellers" to try and hock gear for money.

[azure lintel]

Oh yeah fair I forget people would actually charge real money for that kind of stuff that's unfortunate

[undone timber]

The amounts people would actually be willing to pay is wild

[hybrid ore]

Just pure scum, but the game does a good job discouraging it.

[frosty wadi]

I loved the small window of time where the incursion would drop eb

Gave people who hadn’t played the raid a free raid exotic

[azure lintel]

Yeah that's very true, just sucks it has to be done in the first place

[undone timber]

That was pretty funny

I also recently noticed the box drops DZ exclusives

I was crunching everything before😭

[frosty wadi]

Oh neat

[slow smelt]

I didn’t get why people were upset about talent pools in Descent, but now that I’ve tried a pool outside of Envy I see why people hate it…

[undone timber]

I like the concept to be honest

Push people to different playstyle and all

[frosty wadi]

I love the talent pool rn

[slow smelt]

Good idea, bad execution. They’re just too limited

[frosty wadi]

Had eyeless, sadist, trauma, and the pestilence talent all together

[undone timber]

Pretty much

[slow smelt]

They just changed it an hour or two ago… so it’s pretty crap now

[frosty wadi]

Bruh

[slow smelt]

You can’t make a good skill build when you have to fight an enemy that’s essentially a Hunter

[slow smelt]

It’s designed to encourage skill builds… but that has the problem listed above

[hybrid ore]

Well luckily if you dislike it, just wait 3 days and you'll get a new one.

[slow smelt]

Yeah. But what if it’s also bad?

[kind veldt]

now that would be a twist

[azure lintel]

I haven't even tried descent yet what's the premise behind it?

[slow smelt]

Look, I can work without a lot of my faves… but having every Utility skill be for Skill Damage sucks

[slow smelt]

It’s a rougelike. Get randomized weapons, skills, and talents. Fight through rooms endlessly to get permanent upgrades and tons of XP

[hybrid ore]

You played a rogue-lite before?

[azure lintel]

Not really, the closest thing I've probably played to what descent sounds like is that Borderlands 3 mode where you go in with basically nothing and have to gear yourself along the way to the boss

skill rotation doesnt make a lot of sense for promoting different play styles, you cannot make a "good" skill build in the amount of loops it takes to get to nemesis (5-7) and people who are doing high level loops are going for efficiency and skills just arent efficient for descent

maybe in a team with a very specific party makeup but thats a whole nother thing too

IMO for all the stuff im liking about resolve, that was a half baked idea and the team should take the L and revert it

[slow smelt]

On the topic of Descent and game modes in general, I would love if in the future the devs would do a Project Resolve style update for older game modes, like Summit, Countdown, etc.

[azure lintel]

there was kind of changes to summit, the project is only 15 levels now and floor 100 (legendary is all i play summit) is pretty challenging so I dig

[hybrid ore]

It should be noted that 'Resolve wasn't just for specific modes, but did hit across the game in general. I'm sure it did hit bugs in every aspect of the game.
"Project Resolve phase 2" would be a good future goal, maybe a skill pass once the Spec Rework goes through.

[azure lintel]

Spec Rework is still on the table? I thought that was one of those "thou shall not speak of again" like the "season reruns will have NEW apparel events"

[hybrid ore]

Well it wasn't actually cancelled going by the live streams, more of a case of "later later".

[slow smelt]

I assumed it was a “we’ll get around to it but it’s not a priority anymore”

[hybrid ore]

Honestly, I'm sure we'll get it before the next DLC.

[slow smelt]

Maybe they’ll finish it in time for Division 3 to come out!

[azure lintel]

I dunno if they had big plans but I'd be totally fine with "specializations save on a per loadout basis" and having all the specialization gadgets be unlocked without having to put points into a specific weapon

Wow two enemies in and I already died in my first attempt at descent

to clarify, if im running say sharpshooter, i should have access to the digital scope even if im not running a rifle

[slow smelt]

All they would have to do is make Grenades and weapon damage upgrades universal and it would be fantastic

[hybrid ore]

My ideal situation is more in the line of making them more of a unique choice outside of which 2-3 buffs I want from that specific Spec Tree.

and also kill off dtooc but in a good way. but that's unrelated to spec tree's.

[azure lintel]

Heresy!

[hybrid ore]

Oh it's coming, I'm like 30% sure.
They mentioned that "we are aware of it" in the last livestream.

[slow smelt]

1. This is not the normal game. You’re made of swiss cheese. You don’t even have your watch powers.
2. Cover and positioning is important
3. You’ll improve with time and upgrades. Oh and the current talent pool doesn’t help

[azure lintel]

Well to be fair they're also aware of fragile armor, but they will never fix it. I'm sure it's an in-joke at this point on the team.

[hybrid ore]

I'm sure it's "in the pipeline" but clearly the bug is incessant at this point.
It's like the Telesto in des2.

[azure lintel]

"Guys, check this out, they did it again, they made another post about fragile armor on reddit" Team errupts in thunderous laugher "Ohh those Redditors and their ideas."

[hybrid ore]

I've been on the Reddit, I hope the team don't actually read it.
It's like if fire-ants could use a keyboard.

[kind veldt]

it's bad idea echo chamber

[frosty wadi]

What we need is a pass through exotic gears

[azure lintel]

The team responds to it. There is no other form of communication with the devs.

[kind veldt]

well i do wish another resolve kind dela for gear set and exotics

and the impossible dream one for specializations

[azure lintel]

Model 700 back on top and the jello cube league trinkets are cool, im mostly happy ATM

[frosty wadi]

Im just waiting for next weeks apparel event or the bundle is good

Jesus I had a stroke typing that

[hybrid ore]

The game keeps giving me near godrolls for m700's and I swear this happens whenever a gun gets buffed.

[lapis junco]

i have 4 DTOOC m700s lol. finally getting used

[full zinc]

the other day, we were talking about the real whitedeath, Simo Häyhä, here is a fun quote.

when asked what he felt sniping 500 enemy soldiers over 100 days,
his answer was, "the recoil" . guy was a legend. have a good night all

[kind veldt]

wanted to make an exotic bolt action with no scope named after him, but then the devs actually put the named one so down the drain went the idea

[azure lintel]

I did 30 exotic caches worth of Heroic Countdown, and cleared 15 levels of legendary summit on 4 characters both weeks before i got a Model 700 with DTA or Determined to drop, was swimming in M700s though

[slow smelt]

Back to my “Project Resolve 2: Gamemode Bogaloo”

Countdown:
• Second map, probably a Dam to go with the power infrastructure theme.
• More thought out encounters and countermeasures.
• Time fluctuations beyond the 15 minutes. Maybe gain time by killing hunters and lose time for respawns.
• Exclusive Exotic or Gear Set from Countdown

Summit:
• More rooms and room variations
• More unique fireteams, including White Tusk
• Simpler challenges

[frosty wadi]

As much as this stuff is needed its not happening, especially for a project resolve 2

[azure lintel]

More unique fireteams, you aren't a riot foam enjoyers?!

-s

[frosty wadi]

What you are basically asking for is the devs to stop work on the dlc and do major updates to other stuff

[slow smelt]

NO! Of course not. This is just what I’d want an update for this content to look like

[hybrid ore]

Ignore blinder, they've got blinders on sometimes.

[frosty wadi]

Even through all the stuff you disagree with, this is literally one thing you have to agree on because its literally fanfic

[slow smelt]

This game has at least 2 years of content left… they have plenty of time to work on stuff

[frosty wadi]

Yea, like the dlc

[hybrid ore]

It's ideas for new updates to a game mode, there's no need to be so angry with it.

[kind veldt]

it's just someone wishlist

[hybrid ore]

You didn't yell at eevee this much when she wrote out 5 encyclopaedia's of raid fan fic.

[kind veldt]

i have posted plenty of dumb ideas myself and didnt get flak for it

[frosty wadi]

Because I wasn’t there

[azure lintel]

speaking of fanfiction... im glad the story beat has reverted to mystery mode and keaner stuff from "ADventures of Manny and Fish Wife"

[hybrid ore]

Frankly as a big supporter of Backfire builds, I need to defend people being weird as a matter of principle.

[kind veldt]

bakc to thinking of ways to make BLIND into a rifle & pistol gear set

[frosty wadi]

Just buff trauma

[hybrid ore]

Pulse on headshot, bring it back MSV.

[azure lintel]

just sit in cover with whatever gear, the busy bee (its a laser) and a logitech mouse with infinite scroll and you have a blind pistol set

[kind veldt]

if anything i think they really were into something with the original tip of hte spear pulse based bonus

that would be great for a sniper support build

lemme write down stupid rought ideas in a sec

[hybrid ore]

That would be more useful than my usual MMR support build, ala; tacti drone and spamming oxy.

[kind veldt]

if anything i wish they reworked vindicator to buff achilles pulse like mantis does decoy

[azure lintel]

i didnt even think of that.... vindicator doesnt synergize with achilles pulse? like it doesnt buff vindicator dmg by 100% as it is now??

3 attempts in and I already dislike descent ngl

[kind veldt]

new vindicator:
Highlighted enemy segments take 40% amp damage, while holding this gun achilles pulse will scale of your red cores, headshot kills refresh achilles pulse

[kind veldt]

where enemy gets tagged by the pulse and highlited by achilles can end up being different zones

[azure lintel]

@kind veldt i meant under ideal conditions where they aligned or youre using a higher than level 1 achilles to highlight multiple zones

[kind veldt]

in a perfect world many more exotics would be interesting

heck could just make so when using vindicator achilles pulse always aligns itself with highlited parts as a buff and add pulse skill haste whenever you hit a highlited part to fix the weapon

[azure lintel]

Ninja Bike allowing a second exotic of either gear or weapon type in addition to what it does now would not be OP but would be fun as hell

[kind veldt]

now it has a weird niche of being able ot deal both headshot and amp damage against enemies at the same time

There better vindicator:
Enemy highlited areas take 45% amp damage, achilles pulse always aligns with highlited areas, hitting an highlited area gives you X% skill haste for achilles pulse

now achilles AND the gun become more interesting

back to writing legally distinct BLIND

[wet flint]

If only the dev ever listen to the community ideas...

[kind veldt]

Lighthouse Call

• 2 piece: 15% Rifle & Pistol damage
• 3 piece: 30% crit hit damage
  100% blind duration
  4 piece: Lighthouse sentry
  Whenver you stay in cover for 3s with a rifle or pistol you get a sentry buff, adds 15% stability and headshot damage for max of 3 stacks you lose one every 5s out of cover. Hitting an enemy in the head while you have a sentry buff blinds an enemy this effect can only happen every 10s. Blinded enemy take 50% of your CHD as extra headshot damage. killing an enemy makes them drop a flashbang mine that detonates whenever a enemy gets too close
  Chestpiece: you can now have 4 stacks and only one every 10s out of cover
  Backpack: Blinded enemies take 75% of your CHD as extra headshot damage and flashbang mine radius is increased by 25%

[urban elbow]

What's in your opinion the worst CP to take and why is it cinderblock

[hybrid ore]

Which ever Navy one is the two-story building.
although Cinderblock is pretty bad too.

oh and Fallen Cranes.

[wet flint]

What will be the chest and backpack talent?

[undone timber]

YES

[wet flint]

The underground true sons CP. Below american history main mission, forgot what's it called.

[urban elbow]

Metro ruins?

[wet flint]

Yeah i think that's the name

It's just too small and kinda dark.

[rare vapor]

Just wanted to do a shoutout to Mantis, it is prem. My most optimized SR-1 at 14M does over 93 million damage per shot with Reanimated, but the Mantis does 134 million per shot. Never been so thrilling one shotting named bosses upon spawning in 4 man legendaries.

[urban elbow]

Are executions still busted?

[rare vapor]

yes

[urban elbow]

thank you

[prisma beacon]

sacrum needs a rework so bad to bring it in line with the ease of other talents

[rare vapor]

fast rpm MMRs are still dust and trails

[kind veldt]

honestly forgot to think about that

[undone timber]

Sentry's call but it only works on rifles

[frosty wadi]

Watch the next gearset we get be another marksman rifle set

[hybrid ore]

sad Aces noises.

[undone timber]

Pistols and rifles need gearset love

And aces needs a buff

[rare vapor]

Rifles with Perfect Glass Cannon, common

well i mained Rifles with Umbra for years, so it is fine. a more dedicated set is welcome, but never cared for it much

[wet flint]

It would be ALOT better if they change old gear sets and talents to be more relevant instead of adding new garbage.

even new gear set is garbage sadly.

[undone timber]

I tried making aegis work but it just doesn't draw enough fire

[frosty wadi]

Again, saying it a lot but, we desperately need a project resolve for gear talents and exotics

So does aegis just not work at all, I don’t see people talk about it at all

[rare vapor]

cus nobody uses aegis to care lol

[undone timber]

I tried a t6 decoy w blue hybrid

[frosty wadi]

All the new content is just bad, project resolve hard carries this season

[wet flint]

True Patriot with P. Opportunistic is still the only PvE Tank build in the game, unless you need HazPro but thats it. I still accept Cavalier the way it is, eventhough its not that good but Aegis...oh man whats the purpose of that garbage?

[rare vapor]

people still marrying Strikers still. nothing changed. nothing

[undone timber]

Exotics and gearsets certainly need reworks

[undone timber]

I could see it being good with threat mechanics but it just isn't rn

[frosty wadi]

Vindicator isn’t even mid its just bad, I was out damaging it with normal crits on a non exotic rifle

[undone timber]

Mosquito would help but that shit is ass too

[rare vapor]

the ONLY THING that changed, was that White Death became bad, and SR1 is the new king.

[wet flint]

3 PFE or 6 PFE with improvised still perform alot better than using Aegis and that kinda sad

[undone timber]

Vindicator is undisputedly garbage

[rare vapor]

i keep it on my back in all times

[frosty wadi]

Whats sad is the fact that a lot of the stuff thats bad legit just needs minor cooldown changes

[rare vapor]

Well if you think about it, Project Resolve isn't a rework, it's a retune at best.

[frosty wadi]

I really do think the devs just didn’t listen during the pts, which begs the question why do a pts

[wet flint]

If only it was radius, it would be acceptable. but targeting 1 npc?

[undone timber]

Yeah like moth said it's literally all just minor changes needed

[rare vapor]

a few percentage retunes, minor is cutting it

[undone timber]

Like I don't think there are many fundamentally bad exotics

Or gearsets either

[frosty wadi]

Im still quite pissed off over the fact that the devs acknowledged that the new gloves were bad but then defended them considering the fact most of the exotics in the game are still bad because they just simply refuse to buff them

[undone timber]

The gloves being an exception to no fundamentally bad exotics because hip fire is cheeks anyways

[frosty wadi]

I used the gloves today and legit couldn’t see the difference

[rare vapor]

actually no Devs defended the gloves, Yannick did on stream, that was all. fair

[frosty wadi]

They are actually just straight up bad

The gloves need to be reworked

[undone timber]

Even vindicator I could see working if they just increased the damage

Iron grips can't single handedly make hipfire worth using

[frosty wadi]

Revert the vindicator nerf and rework the gloves entirely

Make the gloves into a full auto rifle thing or something

If they made the gloves just give you 30% weapon handling it would be better than what we have now

[undone timber]

Fr

[rare vapor]

too generous

[frosty wadi]

I think the most worrying part is that they can just simply ignore it like they do with most exotics, or they end up buffing it to a point where you can sit back and hit enemies at 30+ meters with blind fire

They need to just rework the gloves and turn them into a new exotic

[undone timber]

How would we go about reworking em

[frosty wadi]

Personally
Make the talent rifle specific and make rifles full auto and maybe some crit chance on the gloves as well
Thats it, people want an easier way to use rifles without destroying the use of their fingers, it wouldn’t become instantly better than ARs because you’d need to deal with a lot of rifles having high amounts of recoil

[undone timber]

Actually I like that

[frosty wadi]

Rifles need love

[undone timber]

And just cap the fire rate to it's rpm stat ig and there we go no carpal tunnel

[undone timber]

Indeed

[rare vapor]

MK17 is pretty damn fine atm

[odd totem]

Nothing like getting delta’d when your on the last boss during a mission….

[frosty wadi]

You should see merciless on umbra💀

[undone timber]

That binary trigger must be something lol

[rare vapor]

i just got one at lass boss Tidal Basin 3 seconds ago

[odd totem]

Shit is annoying

[rare vapor]

and i got kicked too lol

pretty sure that was a waste of 40 minutes

[alpine girder]

anyone know how to see the new invaded project

[sour void]

Special ammo boxes you find in the field should grant 1 magazine's worth of ammo, with a minimum of 30 rounds if the magazine size is below that.

[undone timber]

I forgot those existed

[hybrid ore]

I like using those for MMR's and my pistol and not much else.
They're fun for proccing a stun on a big enemy and stuff like that.

[twilit rover]

Starting WONY expansion

just finished the main story. still new to the game and such.

[hybrid ore]

Your best bet is to check down in #lfg-pc and "call for backup" whilst ingame. Lost of people want that Shepard vote.

[wet flint]

What about Bullet King?

[sour void]

100 rounds, since that's what it's magazine stat states.

[half wasp]

Hey, sorry to ask but is there going to be a hotfix on PC for the "season tasks available" pop up breaking the game and forcing an Alt F4 force quit? Been happening since patch day

not sure if there was already an announcement about it or not

[topaz zephyr]

can someone smarter help me a bit? iam sitting at 393 bp:s. control points doesnt give me any bps anymore. where i can find bps for: electrique, umbra and cavalier?

iam pretty sure earlier i got umbra and cava from control points, but i like i said i dont get eny bps from those anymore

[undone timber]

Descent id imagine

[topaz zephyr]

missing all electrique and maybe half of umbra and cava, weird. have bought grand total of 2 bps from descent and those both were for named items

[kind veldt]

I dont believe those blueprint are in rotation for anything

They were in their season

[undone timber]

You can get legacy gearsets and brands too

[alpine girder]

.

[undone timber]

Check the projects menu

[topaz zephyr]

Thank you naval! Its gonna be one hell of a descend grind to get 100 bps

[wet flint]

3-4 hours for average group to reach loop 25. Depends on RNG you might get 7-10 Reconstructed Cache per run. 4-6 from Loop Reward & 3-4 from NSA Tech depends on how much Boss Room you encounter.

[undone timber]

[azure lintel]

does coyote mask still stack

[frosty wadi]

?

[alpine girder]

not there

[frosty wadi]

If you mean the teammate bonus, then yes, because it’s intentional

[alpine girder]

also yes because i never bothered to check the projects menu before asking

🤦‍♂️

[undone timber]

You'd be surprised how many miss the obvious

[alpine girder]

fair enough i guess

[thick zephyr]

Where to get the iron lung blueprint?
Wanna reroll my third attribute.

[lunar hare]

kinda like a dumb question but, what's ooc?

[thick zephyr]

Out of cover

[lunar hare]

bruv, why did i not think about dtooc 🤦‍♂️

[thick zephyr]

No shame,I think I asked that before when I first started playing

[kindred saddle]

Chat kinda dead

[elfin hazel]

late in the night/start of the early morning in NA

it happens

[kindred saddle]

Yea I just need someone to play with is all

@elfin hazel

[elfin hazel]

hi

[dark current]

Has anyone tried a HB Memento Build that is geared for Weapon Dmg and Cit Hit and Crit Damage

[dark current]

id help but i dont have gear for PVP

[hybrid ore]

@kindred saddle Sorry, only allowed to LFG for it down in #lfg-playstation

[kindred saddle]

Me either but I’m also trynna find someone to just mess around with outside dz

[dark current]

in LZ that i can do, i run HEroic though

[kindred saddle]

I run whatever is best idk how to do builds tbh

[hybrid ore]

There's no crossplay anyway.

We actually have a brand new PvP focused channel, feel free to ask for advice down in #td2-pvp-discussions

[dark current]

Shir your right i didnt see what he was on

[kindred saddle]

Why can’t I equip a gun on my character

[dark current]

@kindred saddle Do you have the Memento Back Pack its an Exotic

[kindred saddle]

Nope

[hybrid ore]

Is it one of the Spec Tree pistols?
You can only equip those when you have a specific Spec Tree on.
and you can also only put on one Exotic Weapon and one Gear Exotic at the same time, no double-ups.

[dark current]

Damn lol you need to farm ALOT lol

[kindred saddle]

I have no exotics but it’s a high end p90

[dark current]

How new are you to the Game?

[kindred saddle]

Score 502

[dark current]

thats your Gear Score or Acheivements

[kindred saddle]

Gear idk how to check lvl

[dark current]

How long have you been playing like is this your first run through

[kindred saddle]

27 hr if play time

[surreal sundial]

What's the reason for the game going down

[dark current]

Maintence

[hybrid ore]

#server-status message

[hybrid ore]

There we go, if anyone asks just direct them to that.

[azure lintel]

Another 3 hour down time that's rough

[surreal sundial]

Three hours just for that that's stupid

[thorny talon]

Tom Clancy the maintenance

[dark current]

@kindred saddle Well DZ is not the best place for you at the moment you need to gear up, Have you Done Warlords of New York Yet cause Gear score is only on Level 30 i believe

[hybrid ore]

It's a live service game, downtimes are just part of the landscape.
They've been happening way more frequently than normal lately due to Project Resolve.

[thorny talon]

Is tom clancy dead or alive ?

[hybrid ore]

Ubisoft own the full rights to use his name, so he literally would have no say in anything if he was alive.

[surreal sundial]

Maybe they can fix the game or liberty islands rocket goes invisible

[hybrid ore]

have since like 2008

[thorny talon]

I heard some crazy conspiracies about him that he once included full build guide of nuclear reactor in his stories that US government had to ban him and interrogate him .

[hybrid ore]

The dude was an insurance actuarian, never in the military.
So that seems unlikely.

[azure lintel]

What did they ban him from life or something?

[hybrid ore]

Nah he was just never in it, he just liked to read.

[thorny talon]

Banned that book

[hybrid ore]

Oh the book, who knows. He was kinda weird so its possible.

[dark current]

He actually couldnt serve he had Myopia which was discover during Army Resrve Officers Training Corp

[hollow heart]

wait why the servers go down in 20 mon? for 3 hours?

[hybrid ore]

#td2-general-chat message

[hollow heart]

✅

[elfin hazel]

completely forgot it was maintenance night again

woops

[undone timber]

What are they fixin this time

[elfin hazel]

on a night I'm not tired on no less !

more server stability stuff

[hybrid ore]

Sorry I nicked your ping idea, it's genius btw.
Feel free to nuke it once maintenance is down.

[elfin hazel]

idea time

[undone timber]

Ah

[elfin hazel]

should be back up <t:1708083000:R> / <t:1708083000:t> (this is your local time, don't worry about conversion) reason is pinned below

[elfin hazel]

we adjust it so we have two pins

[hybrid ore]

Ooh nice.
I absolutely am too illiterate to know how to do that so it's all yours.

Okay I need to bail for a while, floor's all yours Drib'

[azure lintel]

Feels bad when you recal a St Elmos and it keeps getting dmg to armor

gonna buy the game since its on a deal rn, yall suggest i get the expansion bundle? im mainly for the pve and not pvp

WONY is extra content and gives you more to do at the true endgame so yeah

[mossy rivet]

Well of course. Otherwise you won't get the full experience and latest season

[west lantern]

I strongly suggest getting one WITH Warlords of New York(WONY in short) because most of the active players have the WONY exclusive content

[elfin hazel]

most if not practically all the new content requires you to have WoNY

[azure lintel]

alright thanks guys

the warlords of new york edition adds hella content?

and would i need that to keep up with the season?

[west lantern]

hella content and more variety of gears

[elfin hazel]

wouldn't say hella but a huge chunk and yes you would need it to keep up with seasons

[west lantern]

without the expansion your level cap will be Lv30, but if you get one your cap will go up to Lv40 which is obviously stronger, and you also get more gears

[azure lintel]

Alright for sure

[west lantern]

but it's okay if you get the basic pack and see if TD2 is your favorite one, I'm not saying this game is for everyone

[azure lintel]

Literally I only played TD2 the first month it came on xbox, and now im on pc so I was considering to try it again lol and buy it

[west lantern]

ah

[lunar hare]

yeah, it requires time and effort to get "everything" I'd say

[west lantern]

the basic aspect of TD2 hasn't changed since the launch so if you still like it, go for the WONY

[azure lintel]

Bet bet sounds good to me

[west lantern]

FYI, the server has been down for maintenance so you can't play it right away, 2h30mins to go

[elfin hazel]

also if you were wondering at all the difference between WoNY edition vs WoNY ultimate it's just pretty much just comsetics and some side missions

since it is like 10 bucks difference between all the packs

[random quest]

Adding to this, it's important to note that WONY isn't "just" a DLC with a bit of extra content. It's a full-on expansion, akin to how World of Warcraft has expansions

[elfin hazel]

honestly I think a lot of the view of WoNY being just dlc comes from it comin out so long ago and overall being such a short time in a long time player's gametime

crazy to think it came out almost 4 years ago now

[lunar hare]

a lot of times time was written in that message, makes sense

[west lantern]

even before the covid outbreak

[elfin hazel]

damn I was 17 then wtf

makin myself feel ancient over a meager 4 years

[random quest]

People born in 2006 have or are turning 18 this year

[elfin hazel]

insane

[kindred saddle]

Are Servs back up

[elfin hazel]

nope another 2ish hours

[kindred saddle]

Fuckkkkkkkk I need help idk what I’m doing

[random quest]

I can recommend touching grass while the server is down

[kindred saddle]

You realize I do play sports and work a job right

[random quest]

You realize you asked for help in a channel regarding division 2 while the servers are down?

[kindred saddle]

I asked if they where still down

[random quest]

Then this

I any case it was a little touch grass humor, because servers are down for maintenance

[west lantern]

launching div 1 maybe?

[random quest]

Same maintenance afaik

[elfin hazel]

different servers

and from my understanding (which could just be my memory being super shotty) different teams that keep those servers intact and alive

[random quest]

Ah, tru, checked status on ubi. Difficult to touch grass in div 1 though, you know, with all the snow and no access to central park

[warm raft]

Hey guys, any tips on improving FPS ? Like what are some good settings to change ? I am almost on ultra but it fluctuates from 70 to 50 and I want to stabilizie it a bit

[elfin hazel]

shadows tend to be the big one

if your screen resolution is above 1080p (1440p or 2160p/4k) you could try resolution scale

[random quest]

Fluctuating between 50-70 does sound like stabilised FPS to me though. The game's toll renderwise isn't the same in all places

[elfin hazel]

local reflections, object detail and extra streaming distance as well

[warm raft]

it is however it dips fast from 70-50 which I do tend to observe and it annoys me

I use 2k res. Not sure how the scaling will affect the visuals

[elfin hazel]

I'd say turn it down one from 100%

I think thats 85 which is what I use at 1440p/2k

[low thistle]

is the game crashing fixed can i buy the steam sale

[elfin hazel]

could not tell you the difference without pixel peeping

[elfin hazel]

its been drastically reduced from but the chance is always still there

I would say for the most part it is gone

[random quest]

Imma hit him with "Works on my machine".

[low thistle]

should i buy the game or wait for the new divisonm heartland

[elfin hazel]

heartland has no release date and is a spinoff title

considering the game is on sale if you want to play a mainline division game currently buy it

[random quest]

Turn down settings so it never dips below 60, and stop looking at fps meter - if it doesn't dip below that and you have 60hz monitor, don't worry about it

[low thistle]

is the game still alive and worth it?

i played 1 and 2 back on console years ago but now im on pc and wondering if its alive

[elfin hazel]

yes & yes

[random quest]

Games will always fluctuate, but 70-50 is stable.

[azure lintel]

Considering how active this server is it's definitely a safe yes

[elfin hazel]

new update just dropped so more people and the game has at minimum 2-3 more years in it

[low thistle]

should i buy the ultimate editon or just the regular dlc edition

[random quest]

Do you want cosmetics?

[elfin hazel]

ultimate edition is just some cosmetics and extra side missions so if those are things you'd want get that if not just get WoNY edition

[low thistle]

how is pvp is that any fum anymore?

or like dark zone pvp

[warm raft]

I remember that I preordered the collector's edition and found out it had no early access back in PS4 days. Canceled it and just got the ultimate 😄

[stuck onyx]

About what time should the servers be back up??

[elfin hazel]

I can't speak on that as I don't pvp but it seems to be a mixed bag of opinions as it always has been

[random quest]

You either like it or you don't. I know some people DZ PvP - and I'll never touch it.

[elfin hazel]

about hour and a half theres a pinned message with a time that will autoupdate

[low thistle]

what new update came out that supposedly bringing in ploayers?

[elfin hazel]

bunch of fixes/qol stuff + new seasonal content

[west lantern]

I've been playing Conflict since the last update, the conflict caches are tasty now

[random quest]

The fact that you have made a pinned message when there's a whole channel dedicated to the information

[stuck onyx]

Anyone have an idea of when the servers should be back up?

[elfin hazel]

people ask anyways pinning is easier

used to just post the message whenever it was asked

[elfin hazel]

6:30 ET roughly

[west lantern]

and hopefully

[random quest]

#patch-notes message

[stuck onyx]

Bet, thanks

[random quest]

Usually just say #server-status

[elfin hazel]

quicker for people to see the time in here than going to another channel

especially if someone is on mobile asking it

[warm raft]

Do you still need to progress through world tiers if you do a fresh start ?

[random quest]

Yeah, but sending them there will teach them to check it in the future. And it's not like it's difficult to go there, on any platform.

[west lantern]

if you have WONY expansion, you can skip it

[random quest]

Just click #server-status even on mobile, you'll get there.

[elfin hazel]

yes/no you can choose to go through them but you can boost straight to the last world tier (wt5) or to the dlc

[warm raft]

I do have it but I jsut wanted to paly again through the story from the start

[elfin hazel]

then you'd want to go through the world tiers yes

[west lantern]

you can skip it at any time so

[warm raft]

Hmm so maybe finishing the story on non-dlc and then using the boost?

Is it possible ?

[elfin hazel]

that is possible but it will skip side missions which aren't really that important story wise if you care about those

[west lantern]

yeah quite minor side stories

[random quest]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/s/pdkOkY6v18
For a story playthrough

[warm raft]

Thanks !

[elfin hazel]

personally I'd say do the non dlc story on one character and then dlc on another if you wanted to play it safe

[elfin hazel]

also trust theres been some arguments in here about people not checking the #news-and-announcements, #server-status and #patch-notes channels

[inner elbow]

hmm... anyone getting a Mike-01

[elfin hazel]

I wish people would check but its not that big of a deal to me so I just put something in here and direct people anyways

servers down reason and time they should be up are in the pins of this channel

[inner elbow]

omg I forgot about downtime, lol

busy day

[elfin hazel]

all good so did I shortly before

[random quest]

I know, not complaining about you or what you did, more baffled it's a necessity

[elfin hazel]

feelin like that boss level in warioware smooth moves at times

where you gotta direct people to what toilet to go to

[random quest]

There's 6 MIKE-01 on the server - will there be enough for all of us?

[west lantern]

It would be nice if UBI showed a message on UBI Connect that whatever game you're about to execute is down at the moment

[elfin hazel]

on the beta it does say that now

[azure lintel]

How to get ironworks base materials?

[west lantern]

raid

[elfin hazel]

raid bosses/key chests

[random quest]

From Iron Horse bosses and by getting all 5 keys for the final chest.

[azure lintel]

What dificulti

[elfin hazel]

normal

[random quest]

Normal. Pretend discovery mode doesn't exist

[azure lintel]

can someone help me with a raid mission on normal difficulty?

[west lantern]

go look at lfg channels

[random quest]

Beta is BiS anyways

[elfin hazel]

#lfg-raid-console or the community server/gcrocks server will likely have people running raids once servers are back up

[azure lintel]

Th

[elfin hazel]

I like the ubicon beta it looks really nice I just wish I could still switch to the old version but alas I am in canada

[random quest]

Oh there's no swap for you? I still have the slider thingymajicky

[elfin hazel]

nah canada has had it forced to be beta only since like november

[random quest]

Sadge. Guess it's a safety thing or whatevs. Good thing the beta is the better option

[west lantern]

I don't even know about the ubicon beta thing

[elfin hazel]

it looks like the ingame overlay now basically

[random quest]

But.... much more responsive. Whoever made the overlay has no idea what they're doing. The laggiest thing I have on my pc

[elfin hazel]

I prefer it to the old uplay honestly

although I don't like having what feels like one corner of my screen taken up by notifications at times

[west lantern]

omfg I've just realized the slider has been a thing for a while, I haven't recognized it's a new feature until now

ah so this is how you can tell if it's on maintenance without executing the app

[random quest]

I disable the notifications and try to touch the overlay as little as possible. It's so bad. It's sub 20 fps while the game runs at 160

[warm raft]

Is it possible to sync the game from uplay to steam ?

[elfin hazel]

yes

since it is going through uplay regardless if you buy the game on steam you'll have any and all progress you had on uplay before

no clue about the other way around but I'd imagine it'd be the same

[warm raft]

hmm so I still ahve to buy it on steam tho

[elfin hazel]

yes but you could also add it as a nonsteam app for the same effect

[random quest]

Do you have it on uplay or steam already?

[warm raft]

Uplay

[random quest]

The expansion very often goes on sale - also on uplay.

[warm raft]

the entire game is on sale right now on steam but yeah, imma skip it

[midnight salmon]

its on sale now
Steam
70% off

[warm raft]

I ahve this OCD of mine of having all my games in one place ;))

Too many launchers these days

[elfin hazel]

could add it as a non steam game and add images from steamgriddb or just use something like playnite

[tough oar]

guys i have a division 2 on ubi connect but
i want to buy on steam. will it link my save data from ubi connect?

[elfin hazel]

it will yes

[tough oar]

will expansion pack too?

[elfin hazel]

IIRC yes

[random quest]

Okay, I don't even know what got automodded in that message.
Having base game on ubi then getting wony edition on steam is double payment for base game + could imagine it could mess up.

With that being said, it's also somewhat on sale on ubi store rn

[elfin hazel]

automod being a bit too clingy with fuck followed by u

same way saying another word for summit gets grabbed by it

[warm raft]

hmm actually if I jsut buy the base Division 2 game on steam, will it actually allow me to play the expansion as well if I ahve that on uplay ? :))

[elfin hazel]

from what I have heard I believe so

[warm raft]

scratch that, waste of 10 euros for my OCD

Got the Xbox app, Uplay, EA app, Baattle net, steam thank god I don't use epic launcher as well

[elfin hazel]

division x fortnite surely one day

if girls frontline of all things can do it why not

[tough oar]

so wony edition on ubi connect and buying standard on steam could be messed up?

[elfin hazel]

it is possible but I've seen people say its fine before

[full zinc]

Why buy a standard edition when you have a wony edition?

[elfin hazel]

personally I'd play it safe

[warm raft]

It would make sense because you upaly account is linked to steam and whenever you start the game fro msteam it launches uplay so you weould end up on the upaly account

[elfin hazel]

already have WoNY on ubi so buying the steam standard version is cheaper by a bit

[full zinc]

Does wony edition not have the base game included?

[tough oar]

just want td2 on my steam library

[full zinc]

Non steam game like suggested above

[elfin hazel]

it does have base game included it just doesn't make much sense to rebuy WoNY even on sale if you can just link save progress and still have the dlc

[full zinc]

Doesnt make sense to rebuy anything if it can be added to steam as a non steam game

[elfin hazel]

ya 100% personally despite non steam game being the best option cost wise part of me does want to say buy the game if you want the higher ups not to view div as unimportant again

[full zinc]

💀

Like what is bought from a 3rd party vendor makes a difference

[elfin hazel]

number go up ‼️‼️

[azure lintel]

is this also a no-download update or is it just a smol one?

[elfin hazel]

we love number go up here

no download

I also don't need more would you prefer it be left in the state TU12 was in my life I've had more than enough of my fill

[full zinc]

You must own some ubi stock ig /s

[elfin hazel]

I mean way before I was mod I was called ubisoft hired damage control because I said no massive delaying the first actual update since tu12 is not grounds for a false advertisement lawsuit

come to think of it I think I've seen at least 2 people suggest that idea which is an odd place to quickly go for a delayed game update

not my first pick for a reaction thats for sure

[full zinc]

It's bad advice to tell people to spend more money rebuying the game when they already own it...
Jmho

[azure lintel]

i dont think so

unless div / the community selects 1 or 2 outfit sets that fortnite includes then

but division doesnt have like a known "uniform" if that makes sense

[elfin hazel]

part of what makes its identity special honestly

[azure lintel]

can be said yeah

[elfin hazel]

not a lot of mostly just casual clothing in the "tactical" game space

[tidal zinc]

a hunter´s skin and you can change the mask

[amber totem]

idk why tf they do maintenance on a friday

[elfin hazel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

pretty rare for it to happen but server stability is important especially given the start of the season

[amber totem]

yes patch midweek when more people are in office, not friday!

plus its not the most stable server sofar

[crude plume]

Will the server status channel be updated when today's maintenance is over?

[elfin hazel]

should be I believe so

twitter account should also post it

rest well #division-tweets

[crude plume]

Just got off work and wanted to hop on the game but got the mike-01 error due to the maintenance -.-

[full zinc]

it is a stability update... so maybe theyll address what is making servers unstable for you🤔

[elfin hazel]

should be about 30-40 minutes

[frozen mason]

thank you

[amber totem]

exactly my point

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/0115/tctd2/status.html meanwhile this isn't showing status

[elfin hazel]

truth be told I don't know the last time that site worked properly

[amber totem]

yea idk who's handling this side but it's not great

[tough oar]

does anyone know when will the heartland be realeased?

no info yet?

[elfin hazel]

no info yet

at the earliest still sometime this year

[hollow heart]

if then not lazy about it 😉

[opal nebula]

still down?

[hollow heart]

i say it coz last time servers come back but after 40 min they let people know on the #server-status

[hollow heart]

im gonna open the game and check RN

[placid citrus]

24 more mins

[opal nebula]

thank you boss

[elfin hazel]

pinned message has time that will auto update

[opal nebula]

how does one even become a moderator for division

[hollow heart]

no they not up yet

[placid citrus]

go rogue

[opal nebula]

pain, agony even

[elfin hazel]

no clue

[hollow heart]

im to lazy to be a moderator 😄

[opal nebula]

fr, work takes up too much time

[hollow heart]

im thankful for this who do that, but i never do it without pay

[elfin hazel]

I mean for the most part its chill here

worst times imo are super extended downtimes and if theres some bot wave outside of that people here are chill which is nice

[hollow heart]

cool.

[opal nebula]

any perks that come with it?

[elfin hazel]

nah

[hollow heart]

if there is any, what they will be?

🫢

[placid citrus]

[tough oar]

i think server is up

[elfin hazel]

oh the tiredness is finally starting to hit

[tough oar]

im getting in

[hollow heart]

yep servers up

[hollow heart]

servers up

[elfin hazel]

@crude plume @stuck onyx @amber totem servers are up (sorry for ping but I believe you are all who asked about when they were up)

[hollow heart]

Thank you @elfin hazel

[distant quest]

that was early

[elfin hazel]

bit earlier than it is normally whenever they're early

[azure lintel]

Was early yesterday too

yay server is up lets goo

Back to farming for a striker build even though I'm starting to have doubts about it

[lavish knot]

I got a striker build and it has been very fun and good tbh

[distant quest]

got to play a bit more carefully if you're a pure dps build

but you usually melt fast enough that it doesn't matter too much

especially if you've got a geared group

[lavish knot]

well i got memento which stacks up on kills and gives me a lot of armor so it works out there and i have 1 mil armor currently but will increase after i get all my gear maxed

[azure lintel]

I find myself going down or dying an awful lot lately, maybe it's just because the build is in early stages but it feels rough dying so much

[distant quest]

ditto what i'm using too

its like dark souls learn through lots of death

[placid citrus]

Wait till u use it for the 48385728484th time

[lavish knot]

it was the same with me but i kept using it until i got the build and it is much easier now! I roll with the F2000 and a shotgun to get my striker stacks up and i got the minigun specialization which also gives me armor

im only shd level 83 so i got a while

[azure lintel]

I don't have the gunner specialisation yet and I use St Elmo with a shotgun for stacks

[wet mirage]

from my grinding experience it's one of the easier grinds since it's 4 green pieces, probably coyote mask, and ceska chest. Worst thing is getting good CHD gear mods, still haven't ever gotten a full 12% mod:(

[distant quest]

legendary drops them more

[lavish knot]

Coyote mask would be nice but i prefer the memento for survivability and armor stacks

[azure lintel]

I do have a memento backpack, haven't been using it since I've been using a Ridgeway chest until I get a chest I need

[copper shoal]

Ridgeway is fun with sadist

[azure lintel]

The bleed effect it gives seems pretty fun

[lavish knot]

well good thing striker is a mission right now so better chances

[copper shoal]

Ridgeway + wicked talent and sadist

[azure lintel]

That a bleed build or something?

[hollow pelican]

Anyone wants to do a WONY run around 4-5pm gmt0 today? PlayStation

[copper shoal]

yes weapon talent sadist "Deal +20% weapon damage to bleeding enemies" wicked (backpak talent) Applying a status effect increases total weapon damage by 18% for 20 seconds. bleed is status effect)

[azure lintel]

Wow that actually sounds like it could be incredibly fun

[sick thicket]

cryptonomous' latest video is insane

that man is cracked at fortnite

[distant quest]

crashed on a t4 cp smh

[copper shoal]

works best wit smg and hunters fury because you need to be within 15 meters with Ridgeway

[azure lintel]

Ah I see

[lavish knot]

isnt there a set that spreads status effect?

[elfin hazel]

eclipse protocol

[random quest]

Ah, yeah, I see. Didn't even notice I said that lmao

[random quest]

Considering how often Division is on sale, a lot of the keys on 3rd party sites are legitimately cheap. A lot of keys on the major sites have moved from being illegitimate (stolen cards etc) to being keys bought in a country with a weaker currency, larger discount, regional pricing (a mix of the three) that is then resold.
As a developer, ofcourse you'd rather have people buying it at full price through your own store - that nets you the most money. But I'd argue some money is better than nothing

[opal nebula]

CDKeys on top

[random quest]

It's such a morally grey area - and I'm relieved to know it has come a long way since its inception.
I know for singeplayer games devs often said they preferred piracy over buying cdkeys, but that has changed.

[pearl stump]

Is it me or the game is lagging like shi... after this maintenance ?

[opal radish]

Ahh new feature

[marsh crystal]

This control point challenge while everyone reanimating is such a pain in the ass

[neon charm]

Is there still world tiers in the game?

[hybrid ore]

Shoot them in the face, the cloud is currently so big that it kills half the team in a spawn zone.

[full zinc]

or just dont run reanimated if it cant be handled

[kind veldt]

if you are in lv30 base game with no expansion, yes
if you have expansion lv40, then no

[rocky sparrow]

wym new feature :kekw:

[marsh crystal]

I did

Everyone was reanimated

[hybrid ore]

Shoot another one in the face, make a new cloud.

The event is really quite simple.

[kind veldt]

you cna shoot them in the ground also

[rugged grail]

what is the best way to farm material for SHD calibration bundle ?

[hybrid ore]

Currently? Turn on the Global Event (GE) and earn stars, then buy the caches from the vendor.

you get 1 star per SHD level-up, and however many per challenge.

[rugged grail]

and after the event end whats next ?

[hybrid ore]

The SHD watch is the absolute best way to get them overall, but outside of that it kinda varies.

it's the only thing worth really buying from that Watch.

[rugged grail]

i see noted tysm

[hybrid ore]

Actually I totally forgot; Countdown is great too. Just make sure you are looting enemies+opening Chests.

[rugged grail]

i think saw that one after checking reddit post, how hard this is countdown ?

[hybrid ore]

It's an 8player thing where you just matchmake, run around and kill stuff, do the occasional objective, and then extract via helicopter. Takes about 15 minutes plus the escape.
Plus you can pick your "Targeted Loot" (TL) there so you can farm for stuff you are missing.
Just run it on Challenging, most groups are created in under a minute.

[muted rapids]

Heroic countdown isn’t worth the extra hp tank imo

[mighty salmon]

Hey guys i saw there is some update coming soon and i didn't realise the game is still being actively updated. Does the game still major content updates (after the new york dlc)? I have not played in years and i'm considering downloading again to check it out

[kind veldt]

we just got new season like last week

[hybrid ore]

^Actually we just got a massive bug fixing patch called "Project Resolve".
and there is a DLC planned for ~2025.
Div3 is tentatively existing, but it's going to be at least 3 years away, if not longer.

[mighty salmon]

I have not played in like 3 years, have there been new gameplay mechanics or major content released since then ?

And is there like a website that overviews them? Found the wiki but it just lists all general updates 😛

[muted rapids]

are you aware of the Warlords of New York expansion and TU 8?

that’s the last major major update to the game’s mechanics

[mighty salmon]

I do know the new york expansion but i have not heard of tu 8

[warm raft]

I do hope we are getting a Wintery antmosphere in DIV 3. Snowy NY hit differntly back when it launched 😄

[random quest]

Depends on the time skip between div 2 and div 3 - only time will tell. We're in sept/oct now iirc

[real creek]

Full dynamic weather system....

[frozen meadow]

I can't wait for division 3 to be announced

[mighty salmon]

Does anyone have a clan with people that use mic and accepts new players ?

[frozen meadow]

Ye because they reference the upcoming winter multiple times

[real creek]

But a line about someone hiring a dev team is an annoucement and means the game is almost here /s

[random quest]

Yeah, but Div 2 still has a DLC in the works before Div 3 would be in the lore timeline, so it could just as easily be a spring/early summer game again

[distant quest]

survival was god tier loved it

wish they'd bring something like it to div 2

[frozen meadow]

I hate survival TBH

[opal radish]

Resistance Best Infinity wave mode

[frozen meadow]

I like resistance TBH

[grand wind]

what was maintainance for?

[undone timber]

Stability

[undone timber]

My opinion on survival did a 180 when I actually got somewhere with it

It's incredible

[kind veldt]

it's almost as if they took survival and decided to expand to a standalone game

[undone timber]

We'll see how heartland turns out

[dire grotto]

My first Descent run was brutal lmao

probably not going to play that mode ever again

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens, Souless, Eevee

[formal flame]

Just don’t die

[dire grotto]

I tried not to, but spawning 5 Cleaners directly behind me when all I have is an FAL makes it a little difficult

[distant quest]

it could do with a bit of work but the idea is solid i think

[formal flame]

Reset at the start for a good gun or riot foam

[dire grotto]

It was my first time playing, so how was I supposed to know to do that?

[stable sand]

Was farming credits point for Descent outfits dam takes so long

[distant quest]

only reason i went for descent was the exotic

[formal flame]

I just do it for blueprint farming

[stable sand]

Oy yeah i didn't take that yett

[distant quest]

oh yeah forgot about those caches

[maiden badge]

Ubisofts goofy anticheat is pissing me of. They should start banning Soft and harware ..

[dire grotto]

TBH I prefer The Summit. It has the random enemy encounters, but doesn't include the Roguelite system that wipes all of your gear away

[steady ginkgo]

So when free roaming in Heroic I sometimes hear the rogue agent music but I never run into them, but when running around in Normal (to burn some cleaners for the GE) I do run into rogue agents, how come?

[stable sand]

Yeah i noticed that in Descent its all the same loop

[distant quest]

they do appear just you don't always see them the range is preety large

[dire grotto]

I play solo Heroic and just dome mfs with a Nemesis and that's fun for me
I don't care much to expand into other weapons that I'm not good with lol

[stable sand]

Sometimes you need to search for them

[steady ginkgo]

Ok, but it's happened like 500 times over months.

[formal flame]

I run around solo heroic all directives with a reg build

Tis fun

[dire grotto]

Same. I go full red without any defense. I play mobile and keep moving. I usually won't do all directives since some of them are just pure cancer

[steady ginkgo]

I think the heroic rogue agents are scared of me-

[dire grotto]

they do be weenies

[maiden badge]

=help

I HATE THAT FING CHEATERS WHO NEED TO COMPENSATE SOMETHING

[undone timber]

If you got a complaint I'd suggest heading over to #unofficial-troubleshooting

And check pins

[maiden badge]

thanks

[frozen meadow]

Counterpoint why make a game mode so convoluted that you can't even play it before playing it

[undone timber]

I tried it once then didn't know wtf I was doing then gave up on it for a good few months

[frozen meadow]

I never liked the genre to begin with so

[undone timber]

Then came back and managed to extract that time

I guess it's more luck tbh

[frozen meadow]

I hate luck based fighting

[undone timber]

But knowing where you're going certainly makes it much easier

[formal flame]

The people that I run survival with know where every single box and item is

Aint no luck to it

[undone timber]

Like I've established a routine of just hitting the crash site hitting landmarks getting all purple hit DZ get all yellow farm landmarks and if I've got time farm hunters

[formal flame]

Hit the material boxes craft your mask and a sniper then hit the dz

[undone timber]

I still don't know where everything is tbh

I've only got the northwest locked down

[frozen meadow]

I just don't see it fun

Anything where rng is involved (even just what items come out of where) in pvp is a horrid experience

Another reason I dislike conflict; rng

[undone timber]

To be fair survival did have PVE

[hybrid bridge]

Hey guys! Are there 3 agents who would like to help me get the “Perfect Paradise Lost” commendation? I’m an all red striker build and know what I’m doing.

This would be around 4:00 pm est

[drowsy swan]

I'm still trying to get the oro smg from incursions

Cuz I want it for one of my builds

[thorny talon]

is mantis bugged ? it never shows head mark ?

[crude mural]

just returned to the game and looking to farm St. Elmo and Sucker punch, whats the best way to get them?

[sterile scaffold]

Targeted loot

[minor goblet]

I'm so glad the division wasn't ruined by ubisoft greed.

[undone timber]

Im down but I don't think I can make it that early

[tender wave]

Yup, it's been reported

[sterile scaffold]

Heartland is probably gonna be micro transaction hell

[hybrid bridge]

What time do you think you’ll be on around?

[undone timber]

Like an hour or two after

[hybrid bridge]

That works

[undone timber]

Bet

[mental bay]

hello

just joined cause i was in the PC community first

[wise cobalt]

Can anyone tell me where to get coyotes mask from

And how to get my gear stat's to 100% plz

[kind veldt]

either jefferson trading center boss that has better chance to drop coyote mask or just farming for masks in targetted loot or countdown

[distant quest]

#ask-td2-community

[thorn helm]

What's is the easiest way to increase the proficiency level,I am stuck in 20 now

[oak steeple]

guys....

sorry to ask but is the perfect paradise lost commendation bugged?

cuz i just completed it TWICE and still no patch

[narrow elm]

is this reanmiting bs bugged? ive completed like 5 cps without headshoting anything and i dont get the challenge done

is there any other reason why enemies wouldnt reanimated outside of getting killed via headshots

[azure lintel]

just sometimes it happens that they arent reanimated

idk why but it also happened to me. but tbh i didnt mind it cuz you get to face a lotta enemies anyways throughout many activities so yea

[undone timber]

Did none of you use a single armour kit

And none of you go down

[oak steeple]

nope

not even quick one

[oak steeple]

and yes no one went down
cuz i got the wright mask

[narrow elm]

its annoying for the challenge though whree you gotta clear a cp while reanimating everyone

[undone timber]

Beats me man idk

[timber hatch]

At least not for me and I know others have gotten it as well

[oak steeple]

did you guys invited other while you were at meret estate and before the incursion mission or....

or in the white house all 4 went to meret together?
