They fix these awfully fast ngl, while gameplay bugs persist for months

i am a retuning player where can i see the list of all weapon balance changes

[pearl stump]

everything that represent an advantage for players is a threat for ubisoft ...😅

[lunar hare]

We LOVE Ubisoft.

[azure lintel]

I think AC black flag was the last time I unironically really liked ubi

But meh it's whatever it's just big fishes working the same way as other big fishes work, can't really blame them

[pearl stump]

Everyone has the right to blame them

You cannot be that incompetent for years... this is not a free game to say: ,,mehhh it's oke"

[azure lintel]

Oh yeah for sure

I mean I'm an avid complainer here lol

[raw dock]

Yall can all vote with your money tho

[azure lintel]

Won't do much

[raw dock]

If youre not satisfied dont buy/play their game

[azure lintel]

THATS THE DAMN ISSUE I LOVE DIVISIOn

The lore the style/mechanics themes and all

But when it comes to handling some other aspects I hate it

[pearl stump]

It wasn't like that so they should refound money to the players and make this a free game

[pearl stump]

and don't come with this stupidity: ,,if you are not oke with this, don't play the game" . I paid for this game !

[remote lynx]

I really wish they bring back the exploding effect for the pestilence. Even if they bring the effect back with out the damage, it was a cool effect.

[elfin hazel]

bring back the piss cloud !

[azure lintel]

Why was it removed anyways

[elfin hazel]

it was just part of everything changing with gear2.0/WoNY

[remote lynx]

Was the bleed effect from backfire removed?

[azure lintel]

Nope

[jolly talon]

I think the devs are doomed if they do and doomed if they don't 😛

[spare stag]

Where can I find Cassie or Danny for this week before the reset

[real creek]

@random quest Where dat guide??

[remote lynx]

How do i get the St. Elmo's exotic AR?

[dense saffron]

Countdown, set targeted loot as Ar’s

[remote lynx]

Tyvm

[dense saffron]

No problem, I’ve gotten several st.elmos, mostly deconstructed the duplicates

[remote lynx]

Cuz not maxed attributes?

[dense saffron]

Mostly

[remote lynx]

Guess you always look for perfect rolls

[dense saffron]

I sometimes, do although the ones I deconstructed weren’t the ones I was looking for

[remote lynx]

@dense saffron hey man heard i have to add st.elmos to the drop pool first in order to get it. how do i do that

[cloud sinew]

what are they going to break tomorrow

[full zinc]

It's in the general loot pool already. Just farm ar target loot.

The adding to loot pool thing with any exotic only applies if it's currently on an active season reward track or it's a project exotic.

[raw dock]

Past season exotics are added to the pool.

[remote lynx]

@full zinc@raw dock Tyvm all

[random quest]

I WAS DOING THE DISHES (I'm hoping to get some more stuff pinned, as I've now just got a list of links in my obsidian notes for FAQs like this lmao)

[random quest]

#ask-td2-community message

[remote lynx]

Anyone knows the sniper HS build that NGN using especially in his recent video?

[random quest]

#td2-build-advice -> pinned -> sheets -> Sniper Setups -> 4pc hotshot

Ty

[civic ridge]

final area of capitol delta 3 wheee

PS - anyone else have the mortar team on Capitol hill have pure white ak's lying next to them?

[elfin hazel]

get a stream deck or some other macro pad thats what I do

[random quest]

To post a link? xD That's a bit overkill

[elfin hazel]

I use it for other stuff but its useful

I have one for where vcs go and maintenance IIRC

[random quest]

Should just post the "looking around" gif from Pulp Fiction

[frank bobcat]

i really hope we actually get an exotic full auto pistol… in tha future

[compact river]

Can someone remind me what are the commands in game chat like in /invite and mb there are more!?

can I use something like /join name?

[real creek]

/invite username /join username /inspect username

[compact river]

ty

[real creek]

I'm not sure if there are other ones but these the ones to know.

[neon wyvern]

just click at inhuman speeds with the 93R

Now you have a pistol with 1100 rof

[frank bobcat]

😒

[real creek]

A full auto pistol would probably be poo tho.

[elfin hazel]

/whisper

[real creek]

I hate the whisper ingame tho. Just DM me on discord yo.

iirc the ingame whisper doesn't show what you send or something?

[elfin hazel]

I think it does

[real creek]

Well it bugs out, regardless half the time I don't notice messages there anyway.

[sudden skiff]

after got Ouroboros, I think Elmo still BiS for general content

[neon wyvern]

[real creek]

I think the BIS weapon is the one you are most successful with.

[median pike]

Honestly elmo is good yes but I think for me it either Oreo or eb

[sudden skiff]

Elmo with usable talent, 70 rounds and range advantage make me feel more comfy than using Oreo

[real creek]

Big HHF user so getting in close is the norm.

[median pike]

Yeah true I like both the eb and the oreo because oreo of the fast rpm and the eb because of the balance of damage and mag size

[dense saffron]

Already in the general loot pool

[azure lintel]

is game down?

[remote lynx]

Game doesn't save my last used resolution & full screen mode option after relaunching it idk why

[lapis rock]

I had that happen recently with a game but I can't exactly remember which one, either way it wasn'y Div 2

Do you have an Nvidia gpu

[remote lynx]

Yes a 1070

[lapis rock]

If you go to the nvidia control panel you can override scaling

[remote lynx]

ty

[lapis rock]

Nvidia Control Panel > Display > adjust desktop size and position > choose your scaling than check the "override scaling set by games and programs" box

I think that just works for the scaling though actually, not the resolution

Check that the resolution is set to the one you want in the control panel. Maybe you need to update game ready drivers?

[elfin hazel]

could be geforce experience auto setting options

or "enhancing" as they call it

[lapis rock]

mmmm

[fiery cloud]

Hey Souless, .drib

[dense saffron]

Waiting till we get a mask kinda like ferro’s from the 1st game or being able to use an smg with a shield kinda like frontline

[sour pebble]

Will be starting pc either tommorow or thrusday

[covert pulsar]

Anyone doing iron horse today?

[hollow hill]

nice

[real creek]

You carry me soon yeah?

[sour pebble]

Lmao

[sturdy shore]

hey guys which armor brand was it that give weapon damage?

[real creek]

There are a bunch of brands that give weapon damage tho.

[real creek]

This is the spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice which list out all the brands so you can see which one you might be thinking of.

[broken solstice]

its probably walker & harris

[elfin hazel]

I wonder

[real creek]

Bread?

[elfin hazel]

no

can a hyperlink and a discord channel link work together

[spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice.](#td2-build-advice message)

no

: (

I cry

not surprising though

[real creek]

[You mean like this](#td2-build-advice message)

[elfin hazel]

I had that before as my macro

I was just curious if for whatever reason somehow I could also link the channel instead of having it just be the name

[spreadsheet pinned in td2-build-advice.](#td2-build-advice message)
[They were removed by Ubisoft for legal reasons.](#discord-news message)
down for maintenance should be back up <t:1711452600:R> / <t:1711452600:t> (this is your local time, don't worry about conversion) [reason is here](#server-status message)

all of my macros that I use

should I need them

[real creek]

Dems gud tho. People ask the same question even if it's 2 lines above them.

[elfin hazel]

so glad I can pin downtime now instead of just pasting it over and over

I swear thats probably still the bulk of my messages

[real creek]

The life of a mod....

[elfin hazel]

most of them were before I was a mod I think

[torpid tendon]

Dayum, 5 directives heroic is no joke... Anyways, now I just need the blueprint for the nemesis

[lunar hare]

good luck getting the grand w. hotel invaded!

[torpid tendon]

🥲

[lethal sonnet]

Do you automatically get to WT5 if you boost to NY?

[near scaffold]

yo servers up or nah

[lunar hare]

yes

[elfin hazel]

you skip past the world tiers

[elfin hazel]

yes

[lunar hare]

check #server-status for more info, or is it pinned by drib?

[elfin hazel]

not pinned yet

I'll do it closer to downtime

[lunar hare]

people often tend to ignore pinned or server status

[remote lynx]

will there be a server maintenance?

[elfin hazel]

there will be yes

<t:1711441800:t> - <t:1711452600:t>

[lunar hare]

please ubi, do not extend the maintenance, we beg you

[elfin hazel]

I'm fine with extended maintenance as long as the discord doesn't start to doomspiral

[pearl stump]

they should estimate then 5 hours then delaying 2h more and 2h and 2h and 3 h.... and so on

people care about acurate information

[elfin hazel]

I'd prefer if they just did what epic games does for fortnite and just give the time the servers go down

[pearl stump]

not just fast and then sorry but we expect bla bla bla

[kind pulsar]

Quick thing about TD2, I really like how the story still keeps going after years and that there's so many potential for dev teams and writers as lore is a beautiful aspect of that game

[grand swan]

Fr, this game is way to underrated for a open world Apocalypse game

[kind pulsar]

Yup

[grand swan]

Would be funny if a moderator bot named Isac said agent shut up if they spammed too quickly the same thing in 20 seconds

[full zinc]

i think there is something like that, but its just an auto ban... way more effective in shutting someone up

[frosty wadi]

I would not call it underrated, its not like major stuff happens that gets the attention of the playerbase regularly

[tropic compass]

Lol does this game support opengl or just directx?

[elfin hazel]

I think just directx

[opal radish]

DX11/12

[cyan narwhal]

why in manning zoo legendary. random explosion happen under my foot. there is no enemy dog around.

[kind veldt]

it's mortar attack no?

[cyan narwhal]

legendary

not invaded

it happend inside rooms too

sudden random explosion

the sound of explosion is what grendadier dog make.

[lethal sonnet]

If i clear an invasion from a specific region will the black tusk bounties I acquired for that region be gone too?

[small spear]

no

[grand swan]

Nuh uh

Let's say you destroyed a bird nest but some of the birds still alive

It's like that

[lethal sonnet]

Alright thx for info

[woven torrent]

Dumb question. Is the game safe on pc since the recent EAC situation

[lethal sonnet]

You mean hackers? There’s bound to be some but probably not large enough a presence to affect 95% of your gameplay

[woven torrent]

Good dont want any malware on my computer because someone decided to start a solo revolution xD

[lethal sonnet]

It’s not a competitive game with a lot of stakes like AL so I don’t think hackers would expend much effort to crack the game anyway

[woven torrent]

fair point

[frosty wadi]

Pretty sure hackers most of the time aren’t gonna go and add malware to your computer

[kind veldt]

something something EAC kernel leak, but it's a bit offtopic

[lapis junco]

did that turn out to be EAC related?

[cyan narwhal]

eac declined they have been used for rce

[lapis junco]

yea I thought it was respawn engine related

[cyan narwhal]

yeah indeed thats in the engine otherwise eac wouldve shivering because of exploit.

[lapis junco]

Generally, a exploit in anti cheat isnt going to introduce malware to your computer. its more people can cheat in the game. its possible but rare (I dont think a RCE exploit has ever lead to anything of that sort before)

[woven torrent]

Yea I guess. Its because of how the hack were installed on people computer through the eac that I was relantant on playing my other game like this one

[kind veldt]

as much it's interesting it kinda goes against the rules a bit, last time i talked about it so i do reccomend making this short

this game doesnt attract that kind of crowd thankfully

[woven torrent]

For sure. I didnt know that it was against the rule to talk if the game was safe or not? My bad...

[lethal sonnet]

Its how the conversation escalated to EAC and etc

[kind veldt]

check rule 6

anyhow, back to being angry at mosquito for not working

does it even work on wright?

[lethal sonnet]

Anyways lemme ask my question

[lapis junco]

ig they dont wanna spread stuff about EAC since its not related to EAC

[lethal sonnet]

Oh

[kind veldt]

legit dont know if it does, just wondering

[cyan narwhal]

my buddy told me it doesnt

[lapis junco]

this isnt data mined or leaked so idk how it checks that box. its suspicion based on ingame stuff

[woven torrent]

Fine fine. But asking if the game is safe or not related to whatever is going on in the gaming world shouldn't be an act of being illegal anyway end of the discussion

[cyan narwhal]

wright is special kind of enemy

[kind veldt]

"anything that can break the Terms of Service of ANY game. "

[woven torrent]

Let's move on

[kind veldt]

well a bit sad it doesnt work on wright it would make him more manageable

[lapis junco]

ik this is your quoting but bs. talking about cheats isnt breaking TOS

not even cheats. the possiblity of cheats lol

[kind veldt]

rule 6 literally says cheats also

[cyan narwhal]

hardcoded valve mechanics

[kind veldt]

well yeah, i have seen some teams waste a valve so the same person gets the aggro

[lapis junco]

its still extra stupid

lol

[cyan narwhal]

well i managed to get flawless from random matchmake am not going to play incursion with randoms again

pain

[kind veldt]

now thats lucky

were you aiming for flawless?

[cyan narwhal]

yeah sorta but also carrying randoms

but the team was experiencing all were under 2k or 1k shd

[lapis junco]

you still get randoms on PC for incurrsion?

[cyan narwhal]

yeah

[lapis junco]

i queued for like 15 mins and got no one lol

[kind veldt]

i did get one last night

[cyan narwhal]

asian servers have likey possible to get a matchmake

[kind veldt]

but sadly first wipe in lovebirds people quit

well they did leave the ads all alive for some reason

[cyan narwhal]

love birds is easy

just do the indoor strat

[undone timber]

As an arch Strat advocate absolutely not

Gate Strat banned

[cyan narwhal]

people have too weak dps to do outside

[kind veldt]

never seen a gate clear

as in everytime someone tries to do it nothing happens

[undone timber]

Your teams must be ass

[cyan narwhal]

its random matchmake what u expect

[undone timber]

Even in random matchmake I hate gate Strat because if the dps is that shit it’s gonna take you about a century doing it by the gate anyway

Ain’t got time for allat

[kind veldt]

got timed out doing gate strat

[undone timber]

Sounds about right

[kind veldt]

as in teh boss just wiped with the super mortars for taking too long

[cyan narwhal]

🤷‍♂️

incursion random matchmake is not bad as ih discovery

3 - 5 hours just in morazova

[hybrid ore]

Why would you bother running Discovery?

[undone timber]

IH discovery is just dumb in itself lol

[cyan narwhal]

love playing discovery

[undone timber]

Wtf

[lethal sonnet]

Ok my dumb question: Is the Chameleon the only exotic drop from bounties?

[undone timber]

Nah it just has a relatively high flat drop chance

[cyan narwhal]

give a try u will figure out why

[hybrid ore]

Bounties work off the Targeted Loot (TL) in that "zone", but Chameleon does have a high chance to drop from the Named Enemies regardless of TL.

[undone timber]

Why would you enjoy getting stuck at fieser for eternity

[cyan narwhal]

thats fun part

[undone timber]

Your idea of fun is strange

[hybrid ore]

Playing a mode that gives you literally no reward for spending hours doing it.
It's like playing Elden Ring but doesn't even have the good soundtrack.

[kind veldt]

staring at the wonders you can only find such places is a joy only for some

[cyan narwhal]

i just love the ih ost

especially the fieser one

[undone timber]

Find it on YouTube and listen to it pain free

[hybrid ore]

I will admit that the IH soundtrack is good, but only when used in other games instead.
look for the pd2 mod which adds it as an assault track, highly recommended.

[cyan narwhal]

with drama and worse team it add a flavor to ost

[kind veldt]

the gunfire is the true symphony

[hybrid ore]

I honestly forget that some people play with the sound on.

[cyan narwhal]

so none yall play discovery at all?

[kind veldt]

i used to play discovery DH

it was kinda fun and way simpler os less stress

[hybrid ore]

No blueprints, no exotics, no projects, easier enemies, easier mechanics.
With hindsight, Discovery is the weirdest thing in div2.

[kind veldt]

yes i just played because i wanted to play a different mission the others i played a billion of times

[cyan narwhal]

dh is too easy ive done with my buddy just 2 players

[frosty wadi]

You play it on discovery?

[cyan narwhal]

it sometimes drop maxed mods from boss and the open world faction box keys after defeating morazova

[frosty wadi]

Those really aren’t great rewards for the effort

[hybrid ore]

Bashing your head against the wall for a chance at mods?
This place is weird sometimes.

[cyan narwhal]

well everyone have their ways to have fun. i already own all raid exotics. i just love discovery

[hybrid ore]

Fairs fair I suppose, you enjoy your weirdness.
I still like the backfire and get endless flack for it.

[frosty wadi]

The only issue backfire even has is that the talent goes away too fast to really make it a worthwhile choice

[hybrid ore]

Nah it also requires a specific build and using anything but pure meta is like touching the 3rd rail for some people.

[lethal sonnet]

Is there something you have to do after buying BP and Materials sync?

It’s not syncing in the quantities for both on my second character

Uh oh

Anyone help?

[zenith scaffold]

shd acquisitions do not transfer from character to character. like if you spend shd points on currency, or steel, or printer filaments. it stays in the character, not to others

[lethal sonnet]

Not shd points, materials

[zenith scaffold]

mats also

[lethal sonnet]

The one you buy from Inaya

[zenith scaffold]

that stays in the character afaik

blueprints should transfer

[lethal sonnet]

Blueprints too?

[zenith scaffold]

but i have seen some exotic blueprints not appear in my other characters, like when you have to farm for pieces like gunslinger, or nemesis

[exotic blaze]

Mats can be shared between characters, currency isn't

[lethal sonnet]

Hang on

Do I have to buy on both?

I do. End of conversation. One of my imbecilic moments

[harsh turret]

servers down ?

[lunar hare]

not yet

[lunar hare]

#server-status

[harsh turret]

thx

[lunar hare]

dude, I was like chilling because I knew of maintenance later, I thought of playing Fortnite or something else meanwhile and now FN updates at the same time.
Now I'm stressed.

[limpid kindle]

How can get that arm patch, I mean an arm patch that is rogue agent logo but with an anti

?

[jolly talon]

I am so glad i made it to level 50 on the season pass yesterday 🥳

[lunar hare]

grats! You play casually or consuming your brain everyday?

[jolly talon]

Well lately whenever work or IRL stuff allows me , but Div 2 has me caught pretty well 😄

also the Menpo outfit has me motivated to get to know the game better and the manhunts + bounties as well xD

[lunar hare]

then casually, okay, try to farm one or two times (or as much as you can) The Sinkhole CP on challenging/heroic if you think you can or use hotshot

I've done this for hours but like a week ago I got to lvl100 in a couple days of farming CP's

[jolly talon]

i am playing the game on challenging in general atm , I need to farm certain things to perfect my build but i am also taking it slow with the farming of stuff. Because I know how hyperfocused i can get at times and burn myself out at the same time. So I am keeping it fresh with actually doing the content there is as well ^^
And I am also planning to tackle the hunters the moment I finally beat that true son legacy manhunt

[lunar hare]

Yeah, burnout is annoying, I just keep a movie or music while farming passively

[limpid kindle]

How can get the arm patch that is rogue agent logo but with an anti logo? What commendation is?

[tacit hill]

Hey guys it says the maintenance will start at 10:30 but doesn’t provide a time zone.

Can someone tell me when it is actually going down?

[glass raft]

i love this game disconecting me in the middle of a time trial

3 times in a row too

[tacit hill]

They put the month before the day for some reason so I’m assuming it’s an American time.

[lunar hare]

It's your time zone.

[tacit hill]

You mean it automatically adjusts based on my IP or something?

[lunar hare]

Idk, it's just on your time zone, mine is 2:30

[tacit hill]

Alright then! Thanks.

[random quest]

It either pulls data from your Discord or PC setting - can't remember which - and just displays local time.

[wooden cedar]

anyone on xbox wanna do legandary strongholds for the operator set?

[tacit hill]

Pretty clever!

[random quest]

Probably the same type of guy who would willingly play HC and then go into the DZ after getting fully geared

[elfin hazel]

I'd guess discord gets your ip and then aligns it with that

though I might check rq

[random quest]

My idea for fixing the talent - because a talent like that just going into the void after 10 seconds is so meh - is to make the stacks decay (like striker) rather than just poof. Could also change acquisition rate to 2 stacks pr. hit.

[elfin hazel]

down for maintenance should be back up <t:1711456200:R> / <t:1711456200:t> (this is your local time, don't worry about conversion) [reason is here](#server-status message)

[elfin hazel]

pin this since its getting closer

its PC/device time

[random quest]

Nah, has nothing to do with IP, because you very easily run the risk of the location being wrong.
Time data from the PC core is easy to access (it's a core library in more or less every programming language)

[elfin hazel]

it'll be wrong but likely not far off for the majority of people

[lunar hare]

we should prepare for the "maintenance?" peeps in two hours

[elfin hazel]

all you need is general area since timezones are huge

[tacit hill]

“Guys I can’t log on!”

I’m really looking forward to this fix. Had to take a break from the game because of all the disconnects

[random quest]

Yeah, but do you want to be right 95% of the time with IP lookups or access the PC time that's already adjusted to timezone? ^^
Anyways, you sent the thing with reason that confirmed what I said :3

[elfin hazel]

are servers down
yes
why cant people just read channel-name-here
too lazy who cares
but they could do that
they sure could but regardless they dont

cant wait

my favorite argument that pops up some times

[lunar hare]

too lazy to go in #server-status , I should go and waste time typing if the servers are down

[elfin hazel]

I'd gamble it : )

[elfin hazel]

I've always thought of it as its nicer to get a response from someone in real time

these double maintenance nights are annoying though

have to watch here AND twitter

[random quest]

Thank god you don't work for MSV

[random quest]

I've been thinking the #server-status message might just need a "(this is YOUR local time)" note, then it would be more effective.
SO many people come in here "oh I didn't know it was local time"

[elfin hazel]

would be nice but I'm fine w pickin up the slack ¯_(ツ)_/¯

been doin this since before I was mod and way before unix timestamps were added to the messages

[balmy cedar]

Are the servers down?

[random quest]

Imma slap you into oblivion

The game, not the idiom

[balmy cedar]

Jokes on you I’m a true son

[stray osprey]

Do different bounty types/enemy factions drop different materials too?

Not talking about tactical assessment here

I’m thinking steel, polycarbonate, electronics etc.

[elfin hazel]

yes

[stray osprey]

Oh

Wonderful, thanks for the info

[undone timber]

Backfire meta

[lunar hare]

FINALLY
Cleaners Assessment BP finally dropped.

[balmy cedar]

Intimidate would like to comment

[random quest]

Intimidate doesn't require 200 stacks to be good 🙂
Imagine Striker behaved like backfire

[balmy cedar]

With umbra you technically have 300 stacks and don’t have to worry about bleed

[random quest]

Mentioning umbra here is so random, especially when stack gain on umbra is 10/20 and it decays.

[balmy cedar]

That’s cause I was trolling with the intimidate comment

And umbra isn’t bad since stacking is pretty simple

[lunar hare]

one hour left

where are the peeps

[random quest]

They're all gaming while they still can
I give it 20 minutes before people start saying "MAN, I took the day off today and just wanted to game, and now maintenance?!?"

[jolly talon]

yeah me too 🤣

[pine estuary]

hi friends. I like division 2, waiting for division 3. best day eva

[lunar hare]

wdym td3

[random quest]

You know, the next game in the franchise that we'll see in 4-5-6 years?

[lunar hare]

7-8-9?

[jolly talon]

I love it when people make these statements and then complain that a sequel is rushed. While they are going on and on for years that they want a sequel 🤣

[lunar hare]

i completely forgot that I had minecraft installed, feels nostalgic

[lunar hare]

Same people that say "just print more money"

[jolly talon]

Exactly 🤣

[lunar hare]

who's cutting onions?

[random quest]

Wait, wait - why is noone complaining yet? 😠

[lunar hare]

fifteen minutes to go

[tame ridge]

opens the game after 2 days to play, sees maintenance in 13 minutes, closes the game 👍

[random quest]

THERE IT IS

The floodgates are open

[lunar hare]

LMAOOOO

[tame ridge]

u missed this XD

[random quest]

The Avatar game was teased in 2017 - it's unclear (to us) when development exactly began, but it's a 5-6 year development time for a game of that scale. That being said, the game was delayed for two reasons, 1) being they had to update the snowdrop engine as Avatar needs to not "just" be pretty, it needs to be gosh darn gorgeous (which it now is) and 2) they needed hardware to catch up
TD3 was teased in Q3 2023, so it's fair to assume 2028 - not because the necessarily need engine and HW upgrades, but they need to release SW Outlaws first aswell as TD2 DLC

[lunar hare]

WHY RRUTHERFORF

WHY THE FUCK

[random quest]

I thought we talked about this.
I'm not calling you Doofenschmirtz now am I ?

[lunar hare]

doof, that's new - okay, I won't if you don't call me Doomzenschmirtz

[jolly talon]

But Disney cancelled that game if I remember correctly

[random quest]

Doomzenschmirtz is atleast on your name (derived from Doofenschmirtz obviously), but you said it yourself. Rrutherforf isn't based on anything

[random quest]

None of the games mentioned are cancelled

[lunar hare]

Well, Rutherford, the science guy. It is based on something

I'm not ingame, did it close already or not? It sometimes takes longer than expected

[lunar hare]

This reminds me of things I don't like

you evil son of a gun

[normal drift]

5 GB update and you need 90 GB on the PS5 disk.. xd

[random quest]

My dad does have two guns he's proud off 💪

[jolly talon]

it's not done right ?

[quick wolf]

Nope.

7:30 AM.

Local time.

[jolly talon]

yeah i expected that it would take longer

i just downloaded a 1.5 gig patch if that is correct?

[quick wolf]

They did say it would be 3 hours.

Yeah, that's fine.

[bronze sluice]

Elevator music intensifies

[toxic root]

soo how long til the servers get back up xD

[jolly talon]

3 hours down time

[sour pebble]

Thought that was yesterday

[toxic root]

🤣

[sour pebble]

Oh its today 🤣🤣🤣

[pliant sentinel]

so....yall fuck with tomato soup?

[tidal wyvern]

When’s servers back online in UK time please

[random quest]

#server-status

[random quest]

I was gonna reply something, but then realised it would be against the rules.

[pliant sentinel]

oh nah this man has deep hatred for tomato soup

[slow ocean]

Either that or some unnatural love for it

[random quest]

I can't tell, sorry

[glad sapphire]

no extension of the 3hours Maintancnce announced, correct?

[grand swan]

Hope it keeps like this

[glad sapphire]

yeah....just reached exp22 and wanna be done by tomorrow to 25...well i wont be upset i dont reach that goal.

[bronze sluice]

wait are servers still down?

[glad sapphire]

its been only 2.15hours

[bronze sluice]

lies

[glad sapphire]

lets hope they dont introduce new bugs...

[bronze sluice]

#Delta-4

[glad sapphire]

imagine they fix the talents but kill all the exotics.

[grand swan]

At that point i'd throw my dual Sense at the TV

[bronze sluice]

most exotic guns are too much (as in overkill) anyway

[glad sapphire]

is Div1 down too? i could run the the last mission for fun, its been a while since i fought a helicopter

[bronze sluice]

meriless 🔛 🔝

I refuse to spell it right

[tidal wyvern]

MIKE-01

[grand swan]

They don't fix div 1 so they aren't

[grand swan]

I think

[random quest]

22 to 25 in a day is kinda wild, but I guess you have the SHD for it and just gonna blow your mind doing a few wony runs?

[random quest]

Put Regulus talent on my Elmo

[glad sapphire]

actually, no. just above 3K, instead of boosting chars i use the chars i have to do at least 2 weeklies+1daily and collect mats from the Areas where there are alot.
transferring sniperLoadout via storage, a really fast CP4+4 is done in less than 4minutes (and up to 30xHeadshots for extra 67k exp)
if i get bored i run 2 Couuntdowns(heroic) which equals 100-120items for mats

[jolly talon]

I need to start looking into weeklies tbh , I have not done a single one of them xD

[bronze sluice]

I've had access to weeklies for about 5 hours max, and I have done 2

exotic caches are nice :]

[jolly talon]

Fair but like i said i have to look into it ^^

Also this is me throwing out ideas but an SCP event/cross over thingy would be cool and fitting in our setting 👀

[bronze sluice]

one of them is literally just donating poor baby resources

not even very many like 250 each

[jolly talon]

only place i am actually spending resources on are my control points tbh

[heavy dirge]

i have to basically invent ways to use green/blue resources beyond the weekly that takes them (on all my characters)

[fluid meadow]

Faction Tactical Assessments

[median mantle]

what happens beyond expertise 25

[bronze sluice]

you don't have to hold the gun to fire it

it is motion activated

[lethal basin]

aimbot kicks in

[median mantle]

what about the junk u get everyday

can i donate to your house

[sick thicket]

Tom Clancy

[bronze sluice]

you can pawn it off to the highest bidder

[jolly talon]

let's maybe just stick to real answers when people are asking stuff about the game ?

Because that will cause misinformation to be spread

[median mantle]

@jolly talon Thanks

Should i up my expertise to 25

[bronze sluice]

if they think that was a serious tip they prob deserve the struggle

[tidal wyvern]

Been extended for another hour ):

[jolly talon]

also Krunal #ask-td2-community you might post the question there , people might be help you better there

[jolly talon]

No giving misinformation to fellow players is just being an arse , but that is my personal opinion ^^

[bronze sluice]

its not misinformation if its a joke

[fickle moat]

I’m just waiting on Rivens to appear any moment now 😆

[bronze sluice]

if it was a serious tip I would give instructions

[sick thicket]

when osrs and div 2 are both down at the same time

tough

[bronze sluice]

anyway I'mma go blow my ears out with eurobeat till the servers are up

[pliant sentinel]

u done the shield of arrav quest?

[glad sapphire]

of course.....server down for another hour

[sick thicket]

a few too many times

you needing a partner i assume? or just asking

[pliant sentinel]

both, but my friend already volunteered

created a new acc cause im bored at work

[sick thicket]

haha nice man. thats always a good time

[glad sapphire]

why wouldnt you wanna run 6x 25% armor? 🙂

[pliant sentinel]

u have no idea how good the port sarim soundtrack is when ur working alone in the office

[glad sapphire]

or the div1 soundtrack...

[sick thicket]

oh i know. dangerous has always been my favorite one of all time

[pliant sentinel]

sometimes when ur over-stressed, OSRS soundtracks just brings u back to ur childhood, better times

[elfin hazel]

passed out for longer than I wanted but pin updated

[sick thicket]

was hoping to hop on osrs for a bit before i got a couple hours in on div this morning. this cant be coincidental

it's all connected!

[pliant sentinel]

God wants us to prepare for the rapture

[glad sapphire]

God is afraid of his own creation

[sick thicket]

the metaverse is revealing itself

it's all one big monopoly

[random quest]

useless btw, better off keeping them so you're always maxed when weekly donation comes around.

[random quest]

She's in the land down under, enjoying the silence that is the maintenance

[jolly talon]

True but it helped me to get halfway the season pass a lot and i am happy witht hat 😄

[random quest]

Yeah, but legit - donating to CPs does not give you good xp

You've ran with me, I'll happily show you the true power of fast SHD when the server's get back on

[sick thicket]

only time you want to donate to CPs is for like a project or something

[quick wolf]

Shouldn't servers be up already. It's supposed to be at 7:30 am Local time.

Did it get extended?

[jolly talon]

True on both xD

[glad sapphire]

yep. expect another extension though.

[random quest]

#server-status

[sick thicket]

surely it's just one extention

[quick wolf]

Oof.

I saw talk of God, Rapture, and Metaverse. Figures this is what happens when maintenance takes its toll.

[sick thicket]

😂

[glad sapphire]

depends, some people are always like that *elon Musty"

[random quest]

"Takes its toll", what are you, a server maintenance guy at MSV? And if so, we should ban you so you get back to work.

[sick thicket]

innit moit

guy's speaking like he's observing the test subjects

what you trying to say pal

[quick wolf]

If I worked on server maintenance, you guys wouldn't have division 2 anymore.

"Woops I hit the wrong button, everything is deleted."

[quick wolf]

Because I am. Name one instance that the servers were pulled for maintenance, and everyone didn't start going through withdrawal symptoms.

It's funny every time.

[sick thicket]

That's definitely the case

[glad sapphire]

its their fault for leaving the servers untouched 3 weeks in a row before...

[sick thicket]

Glad they're sorting out the deltas though. That was paaaain in the dz

finally get everyone all in the same server to fight and boom disconnect

[glad sapphire]

they ll keep sorting that out til the end of time or the servers.

[sick thicket]

oh nah this was quite unique

[glad sapphire]

played some div1, but it feels so clonky

[quick wolf]

I remember when the marauder drone bug was around. Now that shit was funny.

[glad sapphire]

unique? Mike and Delta have been following this community since release.

[opal radish]

@full zinc Deja Vu 🍺

[quick wolf]

Don't forget Oscar and Bravo!

[sick thicket]

of course but within the past year the dcs have yet to be this consistent, unless we're also referring to pc crashing etc

[glad sapphire]

and its not even the Devs fault: the original devs have been assigned to other games 3months after release and replaced with cheaper staff lacking competence. its ubisofts business model to screw with their communitites for gains

[random quest]

You do realise what the MIKE error code is for, right?

[glad sapphire]

to call Micheal Jordan for help

[elfin hazel]

not what happened

[bronze sluice]

enlighten me

[glad sapphire]

right, half the team was on temp contracts anyways....

[elfin hazel]

again not what happened

[glad sapphire]

prove me wrong then

[random quest]

Mike-01 means The Division 2's servers are down for maintenance.

[random quest]

I'd just flip that and say prove you're right

[glad sapphire]

hey maybe he has insight noone else has...

[sweet sinew]

servers working or not yet

[bronze sluice]

lies, one time I disconnected my wifi from my pc and it gave me mike-01 :v

[random quest]

You can't just make a statement then when people question the statement go "prove me wrong"

[quick wolf]

Extended by an hour. Will be back online 8:30 am local time.

[sick thicket]

it was extended by an hour just over an hour ago. waiting for another update

[glad sapphire]

i also cant link to all the threads in forums that have been deleted since...

[random quest]

Just say extended by an hour, lmao, local time for me rn is 13:03

[bronze sluice]

4 hours later:

[sick thicket]

Lol one can only hope that's not the case

[slow ocean]

Maybe they got delta'd

[bronze sluice]

luck for me maintainence is always at perfectly midnight :]

its 5:07 here

[random quest]

Explain to me how it's at midnight then

[quick wolf]

All I know is time conversion was unnecessary, I probably misread it or something.

Either way it was extended by an hour.

[bronze sluice]

fuckin magic

when I say perfectly midnight I mean non-accounting for their overime they always give

[random quest]

Midnight is 00:00
Maintenance started 3h40m ago, which would be 01:30 for you

two plus two is four, minus one that's three, quick mafs

[bronze sluice]

maintainence did not start at 1:30

it started at some odd time inbetween mid and mid thirty

[random quest]

Uh yes, yes it did. It started 3h42m ago

[glad sapphire]

always starts a few minutes later

[quick wolf]

This still isn't as bad as when the game's build generation had to be rebuilt completely when they tried to fix a localisation problem.

[sweet sinew]

servers up

[glad sapphire]

lies

[bronze sluice]

piss off

[quick wolf]

Oh? Is the crack back?

[sick thicket]

he's indeed not lying

[quick wolf]

Crack's back.

[bronze sluice]

oh shit

[sweet sinew]

check...

[quick wolf]

Have fun fellas.

[glad sapphire]

ok status channel hasnt updated.

[bronze sluice]

we love divivi no server status update

[modest lintel]

[bronze sluice]

my apologize

[bronze sluice]

what is this emotional rollercoaster

[modest lintel]

in 15 mins...just chill

[cloud sinew]

Be ready for new bugs

[random quest]

They usually send the update on SoMe/here 5-10 mins after it's actually up in-case of instability

[modest lintel]

it's good now

enjoy the game

[bronze sluice]

servers ARE up

#ask-td2-community message

proof right there

[unique bramble]

It would be funny if you guys login and the resources tab is still not working lol

[bronze sluice]

who tf uses that tab anyway

[latent bridge]

ok guys ajaj will see how it workd today

[random quest]

No patch notes and Trello hasn't been updated either, so community - what has been fixed

[blissful jungle]

I’m in.

[elfin hazel]

enough people to call for the cancelation of project resolve

[latent bridge]

they wrote like this was about deltas, talents and resorses, look status server tab

[random quest]

I know, but they still usually write that stuff in notes / update the trello board (those issues are still there in the board)

[elfin hazel]

trello takes a while to be updated

[glad sapphire]

i m in, started Lincoln already

[lethal sonnet]

Is anyone here on steam? Do you guys remember how big the update size was?

[tidal cradle]

1.5 GB on mine

[lethal sonnet]

And Ubisoft Connect updates 5 gigs…

[karmic cosmos]

GG Ubi. The 1886 i had with Determined is now rolled with Up Close and Personal and is useless

[tidal cradle]

And I have both Steam and Ubisoft version...

[lethal sonnet]

Are they different in size? The updates

[elfin hazel]

yes

per platform

[lethal sonnet]

They didn’t revert it back to the right roll?

[tidal cradle]

In steam, it will expand to 6.2 Gb, it said

[lethal sonnet]

Ah I see

[karmic cosmos]

It was one that I got from countdown before the servers went down. It was already rolled to DTOC and Detrmined so it was pefect. Invested 20 expertise levels into it and now it has a useless talent

[vapid horizon]

Relief, I thought it was just me experiencing that cos I'm playing on an old potato

[glad sapphire]

trhey seem to have upped Droprates, 2nd mission now and almost every 2nd yellow drop is has 1-2 max rolls

[lethal sonnet]

Oh

Well they were going to reroll the talents so…

I didn’t farm for any weapons ever since the bug from last update

Oh and someone from my community lost their Nemesis

[full zinc]

It was pretty clear since the previous patch that talents were gone be corrected. Considering all the talents were jacked up, it was pretty clear that newly dropped items were going to change once talents were corrected... It shoulda been a pretty big indicator to hold of on doing much to an item before the issue was corrected.
Expensive lesson ig

[karmic cosmos]

I think it's pretty clear that the incompetence of the Ubi team responsible for quality assurance of the patches they release is second to none

[full zinc]

Woulda been smart to roll the talent to lock it in...

Js

[karmic cosmos]

Try rolling Determined to a rifle that already has Determined and tell me that's good advice

[random quest]

What did you roll on it then, if it had DTTOC and Determined? Don't tell me you rolled Rifle Damage? lol

[full zinc]

Well if you know items with original talents are messed up, but items that were already rolled were unaffected, yeah... it would be good advice. Hell of a lot cheaper than 20 expertise levels ...

[blazing silo]

Whats the invaded missions this week

[karmic cosmos]

It's only good advice if it is possible. You cant roll a talent to a weapon that alreay has the talent

[full zinc]

Roll it to another talent then back.
Ig that requires a bit more thought tho...

[sturdy prawn]

DUA

[blazing silo]

Dua?

[reef reef]

district union arena

[lethal sonnet]

District Union Arena

[sturdy prawn]

Yes

[blazing silo]

FUCK YEAHHH

It was legit the one thing i needed

[sturdy prawn]

I need it too. For the Nemesis rifle part. After that I hope for Grand Washington Hotel

[full zinc]

Someone getting their last nemesis piece today it seems 🍻

[blazing silo]

Ive gotten all except dua

[random quest]

Hear me out, take a step back, take a deep breath, count to ten and then breathe out.

First of all, don't confuse Ubisoft with Massive Entertainment. Publisher - Developer.
Secondly, but actually most importantly, this wasn't caught in QA, because how the heck would it?
You're telling me that you would've known that:

Fixed the issue with the Thunder strike Talent missing from the Talent Library.
Would lead to talents being rerolled on every gun that didn't have their talent locked from recalibration?
You add Thunder Strike to every weapon type in the recalibration library, then you go into the game and check if that actually happened on every weapon.
The reason it was caught so fast by the community is because of how niche the bug is - it's not something you big brain test for.
"I better check what happens when I add this talent to the Recalibration Library to a weapon I already had in my inventory"
There's just no way.

I fully understand the frustration, but holy hell don't you think this has been a pain in their ass since it was discovered?

[random quest]

What I really want to know is what you actually rolled on the weapon, if it dropped with DTTOC and Determined? And why

[lethal sonnet]

I think you are going to make him more angry with all this tldr

[blazing silo]

Someone give me a tldr🙏🏻🙏🏻

[karmic cosmos]

Lol, it's fine to defend them, i tend to also. But historically there are always bugs introduced into these patches that should have been seen before deployment. I mean, who doesn't need to see recouses screen anyway

[karmic cosmos]

I'm not angry

[random quest]

I know, but it just pisses me off - as a developer myself - that people just go "Hurr durr QA", but never stop to think what the thought process has to be to actually catch something like that in QA

[lethal sonnet]

Fair point

[random quest]

Resource tab, sure, that should've been caught, but the talent?

[karmic cosmos]

I am also a developer and if I released these many issues so regularily, I would be an ex developer

[karmic cosmos]

You are focusing on one issue in a sea of many

[reef reef]

Hey, lets not? Lets just turn this conversation, the game is back up, right?

No need to throw "game bad developer bad" stuff around.

[blazing silo]

Fr the div 2 devs are amazing

[fluid meadow]

Golden bullet for 1 week only?

[full zinc]

All the events this season been 1 week

[reef reef]

They arent gods who can catch every bug, but no need to go and say they are anything short of doing their best. Development is a hard job, and appeasing every player nigh impossible.

[random quest]

All GE's usually last 1 week, last season was special cuz extension to the whole season as they postponed project resolve

[fluid meadow]

I saw another golden bullet and other events at the end. Could they be 2 weeks?

[full zinc]

Let's hope , I have no clue though

[fluid meadow]

They seemed to have 2 weeks in between

[random quest]

Which was my point - blaming something like the talent issue on QA just reeks of a lack of knowledge. I understand the frustration, but as I pointed out - how do you test for the exact bug we ended up have happening?

[full zinc]

it would ba a nice way to fill in the end of the season. last seasson having all 2 week events was pretty good

[fluid meadow]

Yeah like they buffed all the events but reanimated and golden bullet are by far the most desired by the community

[reef reef]

The only way would be to have a massive QA team. In a lot of cases they QA as much as possible, and then the gamers find some bug that QA missed, and boom, they make a stink out of it.

[fluid meadow]

It would be a good move imo to just put it again

[novel plaza]

Hey its finished, got 5.6 gb to download

[random quest]

I'd say if anything, QA -> PTS for 1 day and this would've been noticed.
I just don't see it realistic to have a QA go "Let me test if the recalibration library got the Thunder Strike talent on this account with a bunch of old loot in" - and then not only that, to have made a note of what the talents were on the items already obtained so you would actually notice that a change happened.

The community instantly noticed, because they log on, determined is gone.
Anyways, I wasn't trying to say - at all - that dev&qa was lacking, I was trying to explain exactly why it wasn't in this case.

[reef reef]

I understand, and i'm firmly with you- the thunder strike bug is such a wierd interaction, really.

[undone timber]

Did they fix the reroll bug

[grand swan]

No

[full zinc]

yeah, they deleted the offset

[undone timber]

Woohoo

[random quest]

As a developer, I'm surprised their fix was reverting it - because Thunder Strike is not in the recal lib anymore - and not fixing all the impacted values in the DB.

[undone timber]

Just got back from dune 2

Today is on a roll

[full zinc]

lucky

[reef reef]

As someone with only basic coding skills- yea!

[undone timber]

Indeed

[full zinc]

im just wondering how all the other talents were added to recal previously without causing the same issue. this addition obviously offset the data, like it was inserted in the beginning of a list or something

also not a dev

[random quest]

The bug actually scratched my dev itch, I so wanted to be with them to try and figure out the puzzle lmao

[random quest]

The weird thing to me was that Thunder Strike was not only added to the Recalibration Library, but in an unlocked state for every weapon type (atleast that was the case for me).

[midnight salmon]

is the server back online?

[undone timber]

Time for a name change now

[midnight salmon]

navaaaaaaalllllll 👋🫂

[undone timber]

Heya

[full zinc]

honestly, i think thunderstrike was in there before. i remember farming pieces to extract it after it came out

like when it dropped, not recently

anyone want to play dh with me?

no one online 😦

[reef reef]

dang thats unfortunate, doesnt mean you should use general to find ppl

[elder moon]

sorry

[torpid tendon]

Rejoice Dimitri, you can have your dttooc determined white death back

Gotta keep the dta one just in case something wild happens again

[torpid tendon]

Why tho? I was wondering if I should buy it

[raw dock]

every time you swich weapons, when you switch back to the RnR, it will have 20 ammo in the mag instead of 30

[undone timber]

It's talent is rendered useless by a bug which empties chambered bullets

[raw dock]

you need to reload to get the full mag

[raw dock]

afaik it's an intended "fix"

[hybrid ore]

Where did you read it was intended?

[hollow wolf]

Yeah. All those 57 players that exploited True Patriot got owned hard by this fix.

[torpid tendon]

I'm using lefty for my striker build... Just bc its maxed out, but its talent is useless tbh

[lethal sonnet]

Will more directives in the OW drop me better stat gear?

[undone timber]

It's talent is one of the best in the game

Lefty is an excellent support option

[hybrid ore]

@lethal sonnet Directives alter 2 things: 1) how much xp you get, 2) the chance for TL to drop from enemies.

[hollow wolf]

The recalculation on bullets is to fix the exploit of keeping larger mags from True Patriot and swapping gear after reloading. TP buff remained after swapping gear. So, they now recalculate the max and apply it when you switch guns.

[torpid tendon]

I'm running rate of fire instead of dttooc, idk, it makes sense ig... Those aa12 deal absolutely no damage tbgw

[raw dock]

I've also heard it on here, that not carrying over the chambered round is an intended change, not a bug.

[hybrid ore]

Again, where did you read this?

[undone timber]

All 7 tp users losing their minds rn

[hybrid ore]

Unless the information has come from MSV themselves, anything you read is speculation.

[undone timber]

Dttooc is more valuable and the acs has some of the highest DPS at close range in the game

[hollow wolf]

Not reading. Just coming to a simple conclusion. They mentioned that they fixed True Patriot bug. This is the fix.

[hybrid ore]

Say it with me folks: guess work.

[raw dock]

well its been like this since TU20, reported multiple times on reddit, I even submitted a ticket to ubi, yet its not even noted on trello

[hollow wolf]

Ok then.

[torpid tendon]

I dunno, I thought it was "useless", I thought the only reason to use it was to get to your max stack fast

[hybrid ore]

Not every single bug is listed on the Trello, some are never and are just worked on and then fixed.
Clearly they wouldn't intentionally mess up every single gun in the game to fix a bug with 1 gearset.

[torpid tendon]

In that case, which talent should I use on it?

[undone timber]

It doubles up as insane DPS if you're close enough to hit all your pellets

[hollow wolf]

I'ma screenshot this one, if you don't mind.

[undone timber]

Just use lefty

It's very valuable on incursion and raid especially

[hybrid ore]

It's the internet, anything you say is saved forever anyway.

[undone timber]

In conjunction with bloody knuckles it's serious business

[pliant sentinel]

why did my old crafted famas go back to breadbasket

[torpid tendon]

AYO

Now my banshee has measured WHY?

[lethal sonnet]

Did you guys farm the guns between this update and last?

If so then yes the switched the talents back

[torpid tendon]

Nope

I mean, I got one with strained

But the other banshee has killer, and I got it before the update

You know what, this one already has dttooc, and I just optimized it... I'll just try to swap the talent...

The strained one is going to the recycle bin idc

[random quest]

I just bought more tp yesterday 😭

[compact river]

So they fixed resource tab being empty?

[frosty wadi]

I do think changing it to stacks would be a problem though

Like striker stacks

[undone timber]

My condolences

[torpid tendon]

Actually..... This measured one is hitting quite hard.... Ig I'll keep it

Now it's basically a the house lol

[random quest]

I just don't see how you would "fix" it going away too quickly without having it last longer
I'd think it decaying would be more balanced than if you just changed the 10 to 20 seconds or something like that.

Decaying would make it last longer depending on stacks

[torpid tendon]

Delta 💀

[frosty wadi]

Thats the problem, if that talent lasts too long it becomes just an extremely strong combo with something like haz pro strikers

The talent going away instantly is the tradeoff, currently its just too much of a tradeoff

[torpid tendon]

Lol, I thought it was at the dz vendor... But its at countdown... I'll just get it... its cheap.

[random quest]

What if it worked like the Striker stacks though, with the way it ramps up the decay - but the decay pr second for each stage is 1 higher?
I dunno, it's tough actually. The ramp up just takes way too long and goes away too quickly - 10 seconds isn't enough to get to a new encounter in most cases (

[frosty wadi]

Thats why I say just increase it to 15 seconds

Gun still performs as well without becoming better or worse, just becomes more usable for people as you get a little more wiggle room

[fluid meadow]

Imo backfire gets diminishing returns the more you stack it

You're just adding chd while stacking might as well use something that acutely gets more powerful the more you shoot. You know? Striker?

And before you even reach the max stacks everything is dead

[latent bridge]

can I play Paradise in level 30? if yes how? its blocked for me now, what should I complete before? thx

[subtle ridge]

good day fellow agents hows everyone doing and whats everyone doing today

[wheat zinc]

You’ll probably have to finish WONY and be at level 40

[small spear]

they both scale linearly

backfire just has less value because it's diminished by 60% chc

in a way, striker is the same if you don't use the backpack cuz it also has a 65% scalar but everyone uses the backpack anyway

[fluid meadow]

You do NOT want to see my striker for pvp

[small spear]

if it uses vigilance i understand

[sick thicket]

let me guess 2p brazos ninja bike 3p striker

[fluid meadow]

Ad rush too good to give up on

[latent bridge]

I never play striker, so many builds in game and dont like copy someone from youtubes, prefer make what I want

[kind veldt]

What is good is good, what is bad is bad, issue only arises if you cant come to the conclusion of why something is good or bad

[fathom kiln]

Whats up with this 5 gb update? Anything new thats interesting

[kind veldt]

Fixes

[flat apex]

So did the patch today work? Are the weapon talents back to normal?

[subtle ridge]

ikr

[raw dock]

for me yes. but Thunder Strike talent is again unavailable in the recal library.

[broken solstice]

Oh man people are gonna be so mad they can't recal to thunder strike. Oh noo

[raw dock]

I'm not saying its a big deal

[broken solstice]

I know. I wasn't mocking you I was mocking that talent

[raw dock]

altho im not complaining since I got my weapons back in their original state, its slightly amusing they couldn't fix it and keep the talent. rather have this than the other way around ngl.

[jolly talon]

200 + messages , what drama did i miss? 🍿

[kind veldt]

None really

[worthy grotto]

anyone having issue with bullet king?

the gun reaches 0 ammo in the mag and doesnt reload (with golden bullet on)

[broken solstice]

Were you getting kills?

[worthy grotto]

yes

#ask-td2-community

[balmy cedar]

Are you saying I can’t deal 25% extra damage to shocked targets by people using st Elmo’s ?

[broken solstice]

Still an uptime issue

[full zinc]

no, but you arent recalibrating it onto anything

[balmy cedar]

Are you saying that thunder strike isn’t the best talent to pair with st Elmo’s overflowing 2.0 talent?

[fluid meadow]

Never has been 😿

[broken solstice]

Overflowing 2.0 is it? God I don't know anything about this game

[balmy cedar]

Si st Elmo’s is manic 3.0

[broken solstice]

Lol

[balmy cedar]

Bigger mag, higher rpm with the same expectation of dump 2 mags to get use of talent

[broken solstice]

Fair points

[balmy cedar]

Or perhaps it’s steady handed + overflowing

Hit 100 bullets to get use of talent or else

[sterile ferry]

im out of the loop, what do you mean by st Elmo’s overflowing 2.0 talent?

[balmy cedar]

I’m just making fun of the talent

Overflowing is a talent where after 2 (3 normal) reloads your mag size is doubled

On normal ARs that’s basically 1 st Elmo’s mag

St Elmo’s you need to shoot 2 mags to get shock ammo stacks

But you don’t get double mag size 🥲

[modest plaza]

That’s why I run a ouro with my strikers 😂

[ivory pebble]

Imagine seeing the Rock & Roll at the CD vendor and getting excited. Only to remember the devs still haven't fixed the ammunition issue since Project Resolve...

[crimson bane]

Hi

Who can hell me?

[broken solstice]

Demons could probly hell you

[random quest]

I'd rather not go to hell
@broken solstice this one is yours

[hybrid ore]

Let us know what you need help with, I'm sure someone here can give you good advice.

[crimson bane]

Well i am new on pc, now i need some help in some quest 😅

[latent bridge]

just had the bug someone wrote, with GE I suppose when I cant shoot, I have ammo but cant shoot

[hybrid ore]

@crimson bane Oh in that case you are looking for #lfg-pc, and maybe join a clan via #td2-clan-recruitment soon as you can.
gl Agent

[crimson bane]

Ty

[hybrid ore]

Oh is that becoming widespread now? Been having that on and off since 2019.

I always assumed it was related to my ping, or having too much of it to be specific.

[latent bridge]

idk, teleporting or switching weapon doesnt help

[hybrid ore]

It usually fixes itself for me after a bit, or I just die and that sorts it.
depends if it's the same bug or not.

[random quest]

That's how I solve all my problems
Oh wait, in TD2, yeah idk

[latent bridge]

will see, thanks

changing map admin helped

[kind veldt]

People did mention that issue with bulletking a couple of minutea ago

I think its limited to just the event

[midnight salmon]

golden bullet when?

[kind veldt]

Now?

[hybrid ore]

It started 8 ish hours ago, depending on download time.

[midnight salmon]

wow

[tacit hill]

So now that the game has been unbroken, are they gonna retry fixing the things that they didn't?

[random quest]

No they will never touch the game again /s

[raw dock]

its never unbroken, just always broken in different way (not a diss at devs specifically, all things are like this)

[sand herald]

Rofl golden bullet is just broken with heartbreaker 😄 funny as hell

[ivory pebble]

how do you switch from the Connect Beta back to the better Connect, NON Beta? Somehow it was switched without asking me

[random quest]

The beta is the main branch now, enjoy.

[iron gust]

You probably can't switch back it's being rolled out gradually

[pearl stump]

@ivory pebble As he said

[sand herald]

Oh come on massive for all the crap we put up with last week at least give us an extra week of golden bullet 😄

[ivory pebble]

Cool. I'll just start using Steam instead to launch my games.

[tender wave]

You'll still need Connect to be running

[ivory pebble]

Yup.

[pearl stump]

Why materials are not sharing between character ? ..... another well made bug from bugisoft ?😅

[iron gust]

Common bug with new sets

[latent bridge]

really? buged materiales? but usually you have common materials between characters

you just need to buy this near craft station

[wise basalt]

weird just deconstructed one exotic, but was given 3 exo components, new bug?

[small spear]

did you deconstruct junk or right click on one and click "deconstruct"?

cuz if it's the former you might have marked 3 exotics

[hollow acorn]

I just got merciless from cache

Guys i think its garbage

[small spear]

pretty much

[hollow acorn]

Thanks for confirming my thought

Turn into component you go

[wise basalt]

I hit v for junk and deconstructed, which freed up one space. It showed exo components as 3, tho I'm not sure how many I had b4 deconstructing that one exotic, could just be a typo bug

[small spear]

hmm, could just be something they messed up with this update, i haven't played yet

[pearl stump]

I think its only with the new brand sets cuz i'm deconstructing palisade for materials and they are not shared with the other characters that i have...

[latent bridge]

ah

[glass raft]

any brand sets other then pavlov that give lmg damage?

trying to do an lmg build

[modest plaza]

Deltas fixed ?

[glass raft]

the ones that are fully kikcking entire parties? yes

the ones sitll kicking me? no

they will never be fixed

[pearl stump]

Lengmo 3x pices 30% LMG dmg

[glass raft]

ty

[modest plaza]

I mean I had over 20 on one day

[tropic compass]

Nice you longer have to do the invaded missions to complete tidal basin

[glass raft]

yeah but the other 2 bonuses arnt worth it it seems, idk how to make skill healrth work with lmg

and i have to use ninjabike to make it work as well

[pearl stump]

This stuff was right after Project resolve

[glass raft]

i hae it on atm testinf it i have 3 pices of stiker 2 of legmo and the ninja bike

[pearl stump]

you can't😂 or maybe if you are using a decoy

[glass raft]

is heartbreaker better then striker for lmg?

[pearl stump]

none of them are rly great with a lmg, but for safe stacks maybe heartbreaker

[glass raft]

right now i have a walker mask for 5% damage and damage to armor, the contracters gloves, 3 pie of striker and the ninja bike

if i drop the striker for heartbraer would i want to drop the ninjabike for carthasist?

[neon wyvern]

you would want to drop ninjabike regardless

let it rot in your stash

[glass raft]

what exotic armor should i ue then?

[small spear]

coyote

[glass raft]

2 red 4 blue?

[hybrid ore]

just a heads up, a blue core is only super useful if you have a shield to go along with it.

LMG's really are still quite awkward in most builds, it must be said.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rivens

[hybrid ore]

hey saph

[torpid tendon]

Hey everyone

[fiery cloud]

Good afternoon

[torpid tendon]

🥛🗿

[glass raft]

i was originaly running ongoing directive

thats y im asking

[hybrid ore]

I'd honestly consider trying for a full red with LMG's as your gun.
if you want to dps tank, then you're looking more in a ar/smg kinda direction.

[glass raft]

well the onging was all read

and was using carnage

[hybrid ore]

That's a fun combo.

[torpid tendon]

Maybe memento hf then? For solo ofc.

[neon wyvern]

memento striker

memento everything🙏

[hybrid ore]

honestly memento hf is so much fun.
I actually tried an alternate of the old HF the other day with ridgeway instead and my gosh the bleeds.

[torpid tendon]

Naaaaah, strikes armor regen sucks

[neon wyvern]

ridgeway should allow me to bleed from across the map fr

[hybrid ore]

I mean it does, because they'll shoot you and you bleed.

[glass raft]

i did try out a gr9 with 375 magazine wiht it

u get 375 bullets every kil

[neon wyvern]

Mementos doesnt

[hybrid ore]

^Use it with Gunner and never run out of armour again.

[torpid tendon]

Hmmmmmmmm. Idk, you're losing 35% max dmg there.

[glass raft]

how do i get ridgways?

[hybrid ore]

finish summit floor 100 to unlock the project.

[neon wyvern]

not how it works but it's worth it for solo

[hybrid ore]

you can get there via someone elses checkpoint

[neon wyvern]

solo legendary stronghold approved

[hybrid ore]

Let's be honest: you could run strikers with 6 blues and still kill with it.

it's a tad overtuned.

[torpid tendon]

Blue glass canon ceska then?

[neon wyvern]

[torpid tendon]

👽

[hybrid ore]

After you build up the stacks, you could take 2xempress pieces and still do well.

there's a reason people never shut up about Striker.

(exaggeration, but you get the point)

[kind veldt]

finally regulus is mine

[tender wave]

good job, now you just need to train up the twitch aim, spawn knowledge and cqc movement habits to make the most of it

(I've had one for ages but find it frustratingly hard to use well 😢 )

[sand herald]

Ok i have to ask... The heavy black tusk mob.. does he say "gonna need a bucket?"

cannot make it out 😄

[tender wave]

yeah, he's planning on reducing you to mushy bits

[random quest]

now I'm in doubt aswell, but "bucket of ammo" is a thing, so maybe

[tender wave]

need a mop to clean up your remains

[sand herald]

Yep well not gonna happen with 2.2m armor and heartbreaker cheese

and golden bullet with a LMG

[sand herald]

haha I can make out the other shit he says but not that one 😄

[upbeat thistle]

Hey guys, I don't see anyone posting yet, but since the patch hit I have several weapons rerolled to the wrong talent?? I had a full Sadist set (with 3 Sadist weapons), now - 2 of them turned different (to In Sync and Breadbasket). Anyone else having that issue?

Upon further checking of my stash, every weapon that didn't have Sadist re-calibrated on it has had it rolled to something different

[modest plaza]

I had yesterday after a Delta a max rolled level 14 striker glove full disappeared that’s was awesome ..

[tender wave]

did you farm them in the last week? There was a problem that changed talents on a bunch of stuff last week, but this week they changed them all back, which seems to have affected any items farmed in the meantime

[upbeat thistle]

They DID drop last week, but every other weapon drop kept its talent, only the ones that dropped with Sadist changed / the ones that didn't have the talent recalibrated

[random quest]

the ones that didn't have the talent recalibrated
These are the weapons that were affected.

It sucks, but there's nothing to do really, it was either "the weapons dropped in the last week" or "the weapons dropped at any point before last week".
In the future, however, I can always recommend farming for weapons that has the stats you want and the rerolling the talent, because with balance changes the talent you want might change.
The odds of you wanting something other than DTTOC as your third attribute, not as much.

[upbeat thistle]

True, it's what I mainly go for usually. Saddened, but at least I only had 3 nonvital guns affected, and so far - no crashes!

[sterile ferry]

a bug caused some weapons to get affected last patch, today's patch fixed it

[undone vault]

Hey! I'm very new at the game, what's considered a god roll? Trying a striker build but I'm confused what's considered a god roll on those gear sets..

[kind veldt]

all three stats maxed out

even better if it's the stats you want

[undone vault]

Without having to tinker with it?

[kind veldt]

gear sets only roll with 2 stats in this case so it's easier

yeah i would say, you can make decent gear perfect with tinkering now

[undone vault]

pretty sick

is it hard to get god roll on striker stuff? I heard they drop pretty often on the summit

[full zinc]

God rolls are perfect stat items.
This can be pretty varied depending on the build. Its not at all necessary since all items can be maxed out

[undone vault]

Oh okay.

[tender wave]

no, you mostly just want a max red core and CHD on the substat, but you can recalibrate one of them so it's pretty easy. Brandset items are harder because more stats.

[undone vault]

I'm kind of confused on the recalibrate system, feels very overwhelming. I got like 40 pop up notifications on different systems when I hit lvl 40.

[full zinc]

So the green sets have a core and an attribute.
Yellow( highend) sets have a core ,2 attributes.
Chest and bag highend also have talents. On any item you'll only be able to recalibrate 1 slot. The rest will blocked from recal after that. The slot you recalibrate can be changed infinitely, but the rest will be locked in.

[undone vault]

Oh okay, think I get it.

[full zinc]

So certain builds like striker you'll want critical hit chance and critical hit damage

[tender wave]

Also check the guides in #new-player-resources

[kind veldt]

you can recal either talent or rolls same rule of only applies

[sturdy shore]

question guys, when you do countdown, do u only get certain amount of exotics per day or is it unlimited

[tender wave]

Unlimited

[sturdy shore]

it's just rng though?

[kind veldt]

pure RNG

[full zinc]

I would take a look at the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice
There is a builds tab that has detailed breakdowns to help know what brands/attributes/weapons work best for a particular build.
Its comprehensive with variations and also up to date for the current season

[undone vault]

i'll be sure to, thanks.

[sand herald]

Ok so i made a stupid build with those blind fire gloves. "Full crit chance and crit damage with the doctor home and shooting randomly in cover with golden bullet is totally overpowered haha

[inner harness]

If its with GB the gloves are actually useless then

[sand herald]

Not really

[inner harness]

GB gives handlingmaking the gloves recoil reduction useless

Wdym not rly it will do nothing while GB is active

It just lowers recoil which isn't there

[sand herald]

Does weapon handling effect Blind fire and hip fire?

[inner harness]

It effects all recoil

As far as I know

[sand herald]

lets test it

[hybrid ore]

1% in Weapon Handling gives you 1% in each Stability, Accuracy, Reload, and Swap Speed.

[inner harness]

I'm at the gym rn but ill check when I'm back too

[sand herald]

Yup hes right i put on another pair of gloves not the new exotic ones and yeah golden bullet does make the gloves useless

[remote lynx]

Hello where is the lore chat?

[hybrid ore]

#division-universe is where you're looking for.

[remote lynx]

Ty

[hybrid ore]

just make sure you add a spoiler tag if you're talking about something quite recent or the new book.

[inner harness]

The gloves are just too weak

[sand herald]

Was trying to make any use of them tbh

[remote lynx]

Oooo thank you for that i don't want to spoil anything its just a theory i ll make sure to tag it as spoiler

[sand herald]

Can't find a single build i wanna use with them. pointless load of shit i guess

[kind veldt]

there isnt really much scenarios where you think hipfire and blindire would be the answer

[sand herald]

Well this atm is kinda fun firing the doctor home from cover getting kits from it and not taking a inch of damage while using glass cannon rofl

it sound stupid but funny

[remote lynx]

Also Q, how do you cope or deal with the limited stash & inventory space? i mean they keep adding more gear / exotics / named and stuff, how do you manage yours?
