[frosty wadi]

Id like to point out they took the option of working around seasonal characters instead doing an in depth breakdown of them first, which to me, suggests that the seasonal character model really was as simple as just forcing you to start a new character

[latent bridge]

yeah guys, very funny if company would just decide something cause 20 people say to them... its really funny

[frosty wadi]

A majority of the playerbase didn’t like the idea

New content isn’t making people start all over

[elfin hazel]

we really don't know that

this discord and twitter are such a small fraction of the playerbase

[frosty wadi]

If you care about it so much why did you want seasonal characters? Explain why that would have been beneficial to ALL players

[kind veldt]

Thats why i said devs made their choice, either was pissing people off

[tiny oar]

cause new stuff is fun

[kind veldt]

I certainly wasnt happy

[frosty wadi]

Except, as I said, they chose to change it before even giving us an explanation of what it was, implying, that all it was, was making us start a new character so we didn’t have our op gear

[latent bridge]

or you just idk, guyq common, you are just few people xd not the mayority not even minority, just few players, how can you say from part of all players, why you think another people cant say for their own, so stupid xd well I really think any respected company wont decide anything due to crying of some in game jerks(people who live in game) xd but due to statistics they have about thre game. Let your cryes for telling them about ingame bugs, and stop using bugs withoutr reporting them

[frosty wadi]

What was it that you were even excited for with it?

Just the idea of replaying with a new character?

You can do that at any time

[tiny oar]

i litterally just wrote it the message before

[frosty wadi]

New content isn’t forcing players to restart

[azure lintel]

If you don't already have 4 characters, you can start your own season anytime, create a new character and play all the existing content. problem solved, Aikat

[frosty wadi]

Thats not new content

[tiny oar]

nobody is forcing you to restart

[kind veldt]

Well unless anyone can pull reliable and good numbers out of their bum i think its just the same back and forth

[frosty wadi]

Except that was the point of seasonal characters originally

[tiny oar]

its not, never has been

[frosty wadi]

To even play the new seasons you would have to

[primal cedar]

Bruh, ya'll though Chimera was hard? I did it first try on Challenging...

[kind veldt]

You know thats how seasonal characters work?

[azure lintel]

was fun with scorpio but i did

Chimaera was fine, just not with the headhunter mission i originally ran the mission with 🙂

headhunter *build

[latent bridge]

I just dont understand why you care about seasonals if you dont like them you are free to not play them? but some people do wanna play them, why you just wanna steal this exp from them? if you dont like any mode you are free to not play it, and thats all

[kind veldt]

It was a tanky boi but wasnt rage inducing

[tiny oar]

i know what they said, they didnt talk about restart from 0

[latent bridge]

like many people donmt play PVP or dont play descent, you are free not top play seasonals, your choise.

[azure lintel]

ESL DUDE THEY ARE NOT CANCELLING SEASONS, THEY HAVE REVERTED THE DECISION TO HAVE SEASONAL CHARACTERS

[kind veldt]

They did in the video

[latent bridge]

But another people wanna try it at least, are you ok?

[frosty wadi]

I really can’t wait for seasonal characters to be revealed to literally have just been a restart and thats all it is

[elfin hazel]

I feel like we're ignoring the whole new seasonal content thing

[frosty wadi]

Yea

[elfin hazel]

and just going no it has to be this way because I read it this way which is not a good thing!

[frosty wadi]

We don’t know what new seasons are and I honestly blame that on horrible communication

[elfin hazel]

just finished chimera 🙁 the problem isnt even chimera is just that drones are 24/7 overtuned asf

[latent bridge]

I understand if you will say - elet people not live all lore context during hard mode ahain and again xdxd, but any one can choose if they wanna play any mode or no

[tiny oar]

all drones are overtunes tbh

[azure lintel]

It's pretty safe to say everything planned with the seasons with the exception of having "seasonal characters" is still 100% in the pipe, no reason to think otherwise. Dude just doesn't get it or can't convey it properly because of the language barrier

[latent bridge]

?!

[kind veldt]

He think that things not going with seasonal character is bad because it was due community outcry

So we denied him of that, but we are not even sure how things are going to play out even

[tiny oar]

nobody knows how things will go

no point to speculate

[frosty wadi]

Who is he

[latent bridge]

if you ralking about me, I think you just didnt understand what is it about, the talk, man, no need to take any barrier here

[azure lintel]

I only know one thing for certain. Fragile armor will never be fixed.

[latent bridge]

exactly

[latent bridge]

yeah also trye lol

[kind veldt]

Well extra ammo got fixed

Now im interested in that random pistol people were saying they saw a blueprint for

[paper marlin]

If I've completed the 1 - 30 main campaign and just got the Black Tusk invasion, can I still go to the expansion and NOT be a boosted character?

[latent bridge]

nice question, I think you can try it and say to us xd

[tiny oar]

you can always not get a boost

[kind veldt]

I think they reworked the invasion and old gear score tiers as the levels 25-30 now

[latent bridge]

I think you just rise for 40 no? doing nothing even

[paper marlin]

I've literally got the option to "Boost to NYC" and "back"

I'm currently level 32

[tiny oar]

you cant boost to ny, its boost to 30 and go to ny, but if you're 32 it just brings you to ny

[paper marlin]

Ah cool, thanks

[tiny oar]

max lvl is 40 anyway

[paper marlin]

I've seen players in the 4000s

[primal cedar]

Ngl, I'm kinda dissapointed in the rewards you get for completing First Rogue.

I guess the patch and backpack ornements are Nice, but I was expecting something better...

[tiny oar]

its their shd lvl, that comes after you hit 40

[paper marlin]

Oh

[latent bridge]

its last manhunt you mean?

[kind veldt]

Patches have been the norm for a while

Well actually hard to say since rewards kinda just changed every two seasons or so after faye

[primal cedar]

The backpack ornement is ugly tho

I was atleast expecting voicelines to be toggle-able between ISAC and ANNA

[frosty wadi]

Its a Trojan horse

Not saying its good but it works thematically with this season

[wise basalt]

do I have to beat the keener hound 3 more times to collect the other comms?

[tiny oar]

yes

[kind veldt]

Yeap

[primal cedar]

Beating the Chimera 1 time isn't enough to unlock all comms?

[wise basalt]

i got one comm beating it the 1st time, but there 3 others.

[primal cedar]

Bruh

[tired granite]

love getting delta 3 at the end of the manhunt mission

now delta 2

[proud locust]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him

[frosty wadi]

Can’t wait for delta 1 to walk in

[proud locust]

And I did it just in time because right now the service is about to restart in 34 minutes

[late finch]

How did you like that last manhunt mission in the bunker?

[elfin hazel]

big fan my only problem is external to it though

[proud locust]

A lot different than the usual run and gun

[elfin hazel]

drones always being overtuned

[proud locust]

Aside from the drones, the modified tri hound was tanky as hell

[paper marlin]

Is there a way to reset all the captured bases and all that without starting a new character?

[proud locust]

Yeah, chimera a tri hound

She’s a multi warhound modified with all three of the regular hounds weaponry

[frosty wadi]

Reset control points in map menu

[proud locust]

Caliber,grenade launcher, and a minigun

[tired granite]

better than the kelso manhunt

[paper marlin]

That's just control points, I did mean everything?

[proud locust]

That one requires four people to play it because it was a complete nightmare for individuals alone

[frosty wadi]

What was that one I didn’t bother with the mission

[frosty wadi]

Wdym everything

[proud locust]

Black tusk and true sons combine forces a freaking marauder quad copter

[frosty wadi]

Control points are bases

If you mean missions you can replay them at any point

[paper marlin]

I went to NYC and it auto-completed everything in DC and I want to do everything that was introduced when the Black Tusk took over

[humble epoch]

I was fooled into thinking we would have access to Anna

[kind veldt]

yeah it's just the invaded missions and strongholds, no new sidemissions or anything like that

[frosty wadi]

Yeah you make a new character if you want to know the story

[kind veldt]

invasions still reset weekly so you can do them no problem

[frosty wadi]

^

[paper marlin]

I did the story, that's why I went to the expansion

[frosty wadi]

Yeah you really don’t need to worry about missing anything

[paper marlin]

Oh, being in the NY map shows everything as complete

[azure lintel]

crashed

delta-03 xddd

again wtf

wtf they did????XDDD

[frosty wadi]

That two and a half hour maintenance after a patch sure did help the game

[azure lintel]

Anyone more well versed in the lore than me, has Aaron Keener personally ever targeted civilians?

[frosty wadi]

Maintenance part two starts soon I think

[azure lintel]

anyone getting delta crash?XD

[frosty wadi]

Yes a lot of people

[kind veldt]

he was going to hit the entire NY map

[frosty wadi]

Thats why we are getting more maintenance

[turbid bay]

Not in australia

[kind veldt]

andl also hit the original NY base of operations?

[azure lintel]

server restarts everything tells me

[turbid bay]

Yes the haven is home in nyc

[tired granite]

i want to cry... delta 03 again at the last boss

[azure lintel]

@kind veldt true

update its not fixed at all XDDD

[fickle edge]

bruh where do we even go after that ending

[fallow idol]

BOO

The Keener mission was waaaaay too easy even on heroic with all directives

[compact wadi]

Anyone get the duck on Keener manhunt?

[fallow idol]

Duck? I got a horse.

[tepid stratus]

found most of them pretty sure

[azure lintel]

i saw some ducks but i missed allot of them i guess idk xd

[stark heron]

Go run stovepipes manhunt with the same stuff

Make a proper comparison

(Sparkle is gonna be way worse cause of that damn flamethrower)

Even haz prot doesn't help you

[dapper sapphire]

Does Anyone know where the new sidearm drops?

[bright grail]

Just finished Chimera on heroic + 2 directives, done it with HF+Memento, 5 reds 2 blue 1 yellow, st elmo, murakami imperial kneepads with +1% armor regen, it's basically the only build that worked for me without it feeling like a chore

[bright grail]

afaik it doesn't actually drops yet

[dapper sapphire]

Thanks

[frosty wadi]

Praying that we aren’t getting a pistol gearset

Though we probably are

[azure lintel]

... I would like a pistol gearset 😦

[eager breach]

Maybe this has been asked and answered already but this 3x xp modifier, is this supposed to last 6 days for the “Nyx” event?

Usually 2x xp lasts for 15 levels then stops. This nyx event, I’ve gained 43 levels in like 50 minutes lmao. Didn’t know if this is intentional or not

[ionic stump]

yes, it's intentional

[frosty wadi]

Lasts for the week or until you get 100 levels

[eager breach]

Thank you

[eager breach]

Thanks for the info!

[azure lintel]

Who is Glass?

[spare cove]

#division-universe

[fallow idol]

Ok

[turbid bay]

Add directives and it can be more than double triple xp

[stark heron]

As long as it makes more secondaries other than the regulus/D50 viable I'm all for it

Viable in quotations

[turbid bay]

Heroic 5 directives is 125% triple co

Xp

[kind veldt]

honestly remove snipers from the breakpoint gear set and add in pistols

[stark heron]

Honestly a good idea

Snipers have hotshot already

[kind veldt]

and semi auto snipers have Aces (alongside some big problems no gear set can solve)

[stark heron]

Aces with that exotic svd would be smth

[kind veldt]

SVD is the exception not the rule

and yea aces with dread is pretty good

you can get some crazy amount of bonus armor and constant ammo back

[undone timber]

Sidearms are sidearms idk why people are tryna main them except reg

[kind veldt]

fun

and i miss old dodge city holster

[frosty wadi]

Rifles on aces I beg massive

[turbid bay]

Sidearms can be highly useful if yoi build for them

[frosty wadi]

Give us another card themed gearset, October is coming, give us a taro card themed one or something (it would require work)

[turbid bay]

I have pistol build that can solo legendary

[frozen meadow]

god the blue lighting is so annoying

cant say i miss it

[frozen lagoon]

anyone knw of a good div lfg

[dusty ridge]

Servers ok now?

[azure lintel]

yes

[dusty ridge]

Cool

[frozen meadow]

wait they were down today?

[lunar hare]

yes

[kind veldt]

a lot

[frozen meadow]

ah

[azure lintel]

was alot

and was server restart

[ember gale]

any idea on how to get the remaining 3 comms?

[spare cove]

Replay the Manhunt mission 3 times

[ember gale]

any difficulty will do right?

[spare cove]

Yes. The difficulty doesn't matter

[full zinc]

thats kinda bogus they are using the same model as legacy manhunts to get all the coms

[spare cove]

I feel like that's been a tradition since the first season where they have you replay the Manhunt finale mission a few times to get all the comms

[azure lintel]

replay

[full zinc]

fair. was that with recruiter? tbf it hasnt been a priority for me to even worry about manhunts for a while now. it feels like something like another side mission could handle it without having to rinse and repeat. if its a really old precedent, disregard either of my statements.

[spare cove]

The Recruiter Manhunt comms was kind of an exception as some of it involves doing night time puzzles

[azure lintel]

Can i get still recruiter patch from replaying manhunt?

[tiny oar]

damn the challenges in summit are so annoying

like double kill on 1 nade is nasty

[full zinc]

hard > foam npcs > drop grenade on them while stuck

[kind veldt]

dont forget mad bomber or collector ot make it easier

[dusty ridge]

how long will it take me to catch up the keener manhunt? havent started

[kind veldt]

couple hours

it's mostly control points and bounties

[tiny oar]

Dont have collector, and Killing npc with nade is fine, but grouping them isnt

[kind veldt]

mad bombmer and collector increase range

and you cna cook with mad bombmer

[undone timber]

Can throw on cluster grenades w mad bomber/collector

[kind veldt]

cluster granades tend to be disappointment, outside of nefarious uses

[glossy dirge]

each one takes like 30-45 minutes ish

[tiny oar]

No witch hunt here allowed

[tiny oar]

Yeah sadly

[kind veldt]

well fire nade with collector does surprinsingly good amount of damage

[queen glen]

@tiny oar Sorry I just don’t want that great game dying because of cheaters. I don’t know how to report it to the developers. Can someone please teach me how to ?

[kind veldt]

and with mad bomber you get an absurd amount of range

well first step, delete that message

second step is to use report feature

[mint wolf]

I heard there was a update to fix the server issue so did that work?

[kind veldt]

yeah mostly fine, people are able to play now

[mint wolf]

Ahh nice finally time to go spank some Anna

[kind veldt]

#rules has links to support at the start, use that

[tiny oar]

Just use the ubi support

[tiny oar]

Does fire nade count as nade kill tho ? It's just fkre not explosion

[junior lava]

Hi guys new player here am I able to play past seasonal content with the cutscenes manhunts and all

[tiny oar]

You will get the cutscenes but not the entire manhunt only last mission

There like 2 cutscene max anyway and you can find them on youtube

[queen glen]

Oh okay thanks guys

[junior lava]

Will I miss much of the story without the intermediate manhunts?

[kind veldt]

it does, i also thought the same and many people have proven me wrong, so lesson learned on that one

[tiny oar]

Yes, à lot happenned, I suggestion you go to youtube for seasons recap, there is a channel dedicated to lore nz something

[junior lava]

Yea been doing that just kinda sad i can’t experience it myself

[tiny oar]

That's part of what keep people engaged with the game, to follow the story
But the season recap on youtube are enough imo

Bruh we just said 2min ago to not do witch hunts

[vocal halo]

im not, just warnin for anyone that matchmakes with em or owt

my god the mission was horendous with em

[tiny oar]

Yeah that's the same

Saying an acc is stolen or bought is witch hunt

[kind veldt]

it's a weird situation of your word vs them and yada yada

anyhow against the rules

highly reccomend deleting to not get a warn

[vocal halo]

mhm ok

[tiny oar]

Yeah like we cant even take your word for it

[kind veldt]

anyhow just scroll up to see where to report

[tiny oar]

What if they are fine and you're just trying to hurt people ? See how it's bad ? That's why it's not allowed

If you wanna report just go to ubi support

Nothing else to do

Also sometimes people are just bad players, that's how it is

No amount of gear or play time will change that

[vocal halo]

bad at level 8k?

[tiny oar]

I saw people at 30 that didn't know basic stuff

Like gear talents

You really have no idea

I saw people running 6 Green

[vocal halo]

8k whould be 100s of hours, maybe 1k, youd have some awereness and knowledge by then

[tiny oar]

No, play time just mean you play, it doesn't mean you learn

If you unplug your brain before playing cause youre tired, you aint learning

Sometimes I do that too cause I dont wanna think

I just wanna click heads

[vocal halo]

but youd focus on whatever ur doin tho

[kind veldt]

something something old xp exploits

[tiny oar]

I focus on heads

Yeah there is also the old exploits, some people got mad amount of shd lvls

[vocal halo]

thay rly didnt, thay just sat there , not helping, talkin shit after me and the other guy that matchmakes were complain

[tiny oar]

Yeah, they just bad, ignore, block, move on

Nothing else to do

[vocal halo]

mhm

[dapper atlas]

@queen glen Please no naming and shaming in this Discord. Here's how to report a player the right way -> https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/the-division-2/player-safety/article/reporting-a-player-in-the-division-2/000060920 Or you could open a ticket with Ubisoft Support and send them videos and such.

[primal cedar]

Sorry to break your bubble, but Ubi doesn't really look at report tickets, unless it's some really heinous stuff

[acoustic vessel]

I'm back I'm just now going live I want to react to this mission man lol

[tropic breach]

when did the 3xp multiplier started?

[dusty ridge]

that bonus xp apply in the dz as well? to shd levels?

[wise basalt]

any word on the new named revolver, the harvest? Showing on the expertise table.

[kind veldt]

Nope

Prob future item that data got added in earlier

[graceful oxide]

Does the call for backup system not work when doing the manhunt bounty? Or am I just that unlucky in finding a saviour?

[prime bay]

Has anyone else had the issue where the Chimera warhound thing after the like 3rd wave of drones get stuck on 0 HP? Haven't seen much mention of it in places

[scarlet plume]

just had it happen

[prime bay]

Did that part like 4 times.... glitched every time. Good to see they're still properly testing things before release /s

[steady tiger]

anyone not getting the x3 exp?

[scarlet plume]

not sure what causes it, that was the first time it has happened to me in the 3 times ive played that mission

[prime bay]

Nah I think that part is definitely working for me at least. I'm up nearly 20 season levels from when I started earlier and all I've done is the nyx manhunt stuff

[steady tiger]

its working for me earlier but its not giving me x3 exp now

[lunar hare]

Holy damn 9 levels in 6 minutes is crazy

2,438,505 in one CP4 5D, 14 kills grant 1 extra level...

[forest bay]

How can I find the secret market?

[hybrid ore]

@forest bay If you mean Cassie Mendoza and/or Danny Weaver (gunrunner and textiles vendor, respectively), you have to find the Snitch. They spawn randomly at set places around the map, it changes each time you re-log.
division2map.com has a list of potential spawn locations, shouldn't take too long. You just need to talk with them, you don't have to finish their bounty.

[forest bay]

I found the informant who tells you where the arms dealer or smugglers are but he didn't tell me where they are.

They do not appear on the map.

[hybrid ore]

A shopping cart icon appears on your map when you find them, their stores are only open for specific amounts of time. In a kind of cycling pattern.
Sometimes you need to re-log to get it to appear, can be a tad buggy.

[dusty ridge]

summit key on the same floor as the elevator and the same room games trolling me

[forest bay]

I did that but it still doesn't show up on the map. Do you have a video explaining how?

[hybrid ore]

That's the method of how it works. If it's not showing up then something has gone wrong with the game. Make sure you zoom in a little to see the icon, just in case.

[lunar hare]

brain is not braining.
14x7.

[forest bay]

I did everything you said and it still doesn't show up. 😔

[strange glen]

Control key and F buttons do not work only in Washington

Do you know the solution?

Everything's working fine in other areas

[ivory wharf]

morning! when should I go through the dlc history? after reaching lvl 40 and doing tidal basin? or when? thanks!

[undone timber]

After tidal basin yes

[tulip sinew]

Are you sure you interacted with him? He drops a bounty as well

[hard bough]

Hi I have a question how to get stage 5 for the gruner I must kill a boss but take al the ammo from hem de balisik I try but he die before evry thing is gone how I can do this

[tulip sinew]

Find someone to help you. Oxy+foam is the way

[hybrid ore]

Just to make sure you know, you don't have to complete the bounty or even take it to spawn Cassie+Danny, just interact with the Snitch.

[azure lintel]

hi all

[hard bough]

Wat is zou?

What is oxy?

[tulip sinew]

Oxydizer skill. Pretty good for stripping armor

[hard bough]

Oh oké where to get it

[tulip sinew]

Base of operations. Unlocks with shd points. But you need someone with riot foam too to lock him in one place so you can oxy easy

[hard bough]

Oké en then hé still still then can I shoot on de Armo because I saw a video on YouTube is a lot helm+scholder,backpack,kneepads

[hard bough]

Tanx for the tip

[tulip sinew]

The thing with oxy is you damage all the parts at once, so you don't have to shoot them one by one

[hard bough]

Oh is just troe that thing and its ready?

[hard bough]

Nice can we try to gether online?

[stark heron]

Honestly I suggest just running it on normal or hard, and constantly using oxi on that specific boss

Its not that hard

[tulip sinew]

Im pretty new on ps so i don't have good buils rn

[tulip sinew]

Also this

[stark heron]

Honestly a build aint even needed

[primal cedar]

Demolisher Firefly is also a good pick to destroy weakspot

[hard bough]

I did the manhunt I finishd it but if i rest it I lost evry ting? Because I need to collet the missing commando

[kind veldt]

Just replay final mission

[tulip sinew]

Does his armor count as weakpoints?

[primal cedar]

No

Armor is Armor and Weakspots is Weakspots, there's a difference

[azure lintel]

ye thats true

[primal cedar]

I'm gonna be real, the fact the game was literally unplayable for a few hours after the update. (Which doesn't surprise me, since the game gives you Delta-03 after every updates)

What bothers me is the lackluster ending of the First Rogue Manhunt.

Literally a handshake, and you get a patch and a backpack ornament.

I was expecting the ability to change Watch colors, have ANNA replace ISAC, or even go full rogue

[azure lintel]

ye me too but i got nothing with rogue network

also it was last night server restart

[primal cedar]

Like, the entire Manhunt, outside of doing it to meet Keener, is literally about ANNA slowly building up her mainframe...

Like, the entire Manhunt, you can clearly see ANNA becoming "Smart" overtime.

[azure lintel]

yes i noted that

[primal cedar]

At the start, she's like ISAC, and at the end, when meeting Keener, she's having full conversation, literally a true AI

[tulip sinew]

So demolisher is not an option on him

[azure lintel]

and we did not got rogue watch

[dapper sapphire]

Why do my crafting station says no upgrades found? (Trying to reroll a capacitor for my mule)

[azure lintel]

he told you no

[azure lintel]

maybe we will see what comes next with keener story

and his cal mccanus

[primal cedar]

The entire "Trials" of Keener were simply a way for him to have ANNA become Smart.

Because if you did WONY and Kelso Manhunt, you get ANNA downloaded on your watch.

After that, because you have ANNA, Keener makes you do Trials so that ANNA can get Smarter by analyzing everything you do.

The entire thing was to make ANNA a true AI, and they fumbled it with the ending

[azure lintel]

also we dont know what will be story after his season cuz he contacted with manny

i am curious from his story

[primal cedar]

My best guess is that next Manhunt, all our targets are Hunters, and you have to Do a bunch of side stuff to find them and kill them, with each having a coordinate to the Main Target, with Keener assisting us in killing the Main Target, which would be an Hunter.

[azure lintel]

also he is gathering team to take btsu too

and mccanus

[primal cedar]

McManus is untoucheable rn, he's probably in a secure bunker somewhere.

They'll probably make it an instance, like the Meret Domain, with the endgoal of killing him

[azure lintel]

but for now keener is custody i dont want to say where is but i know

also as u saw keener had in hands briefcase

[primal cedar]

Best bet is they'll release the Brooklyn DLC, and they'll put an Aircraft Carrier near Brooklyn, and McManus will be in it

[azure lintel]

mhm ye ye i thinking that too

[primal cedar]

It's not really unfeasible, TD1 had an Aircraft Carrier in it too

[azure lintel]

also in nyc is out of bounds other side is two bridges

maybe that will be new area?

[primal cedar]

Prob, but the DLC will happen on Brooklyn, so Rikers will be the main enemies

[azure lintel]

that will includes too

his story very interested me alot

[proud locust]

Sooo with keener now in the White House does that mean the civil war against ourselves is over? It time we put us fighting each other behind us and allow the division and rogue join forces?

[stark heron]

Well Y6S2 Finale probably ends with us reuniting with kelso, whether shes a manhunt target again is another question

[stark heron]

I'd like to think that rogue agent encounters still happen

Keeners not exactly made it public that hes back

Only the BTSU and our side of the division know

[proud locust]

True but there’s one problem

The black tusk is completely unaware about Anna’s existence

When Keener was involved into stealing black tusk redacted information and some serious hunter tech

ANNA decided to create subroutine programs that came from previous adversaries that we killed

After that she’s now merged with ISAC

[azure lintel]

So she could remove isac all together if she wanted?

[stark heron]

She could but she doesn't want to

Start of the manhunt mission she tries taking ISACs role, and realise thats not her

[azure lintel]

Dammmm that’s kinda lit haha

[fleet kite]

Hi guys, I want to start with D2, does it still have many players on pc?

[kind veldt]

yeap

most on the endgame tho

[fleet kite]

Do you need to play the whole storry to get to the endgame or are there another ways to level?

[tiny oar]

there is a boost, but its better to play the story imo

keep the boost for when you lvl another character and dont want to wait

[kind veldt]

better play the story, dropping at endgame without knowing how to play a game is just a bad time

[fleet kite]

Alright, thank you! I already played D2 on xbox but that was years ago

[stark heron]

Its changed since launch

Gear stuff makes sense now

[stable tapir]

Is the boost all day?

[idle tusk]

mike;;

[steep crystal]

mike in korea too.

[tiny oar]

for a weak

[supple radish]

Suddenly I got a MIKE-01... WTF Ubisoft??

[hybrid ore]

@idle tusk English only on the main channel, thanks.

[spare cove]

Okay, since the x5 XP event is coming in 3w 1d, what date would that be?

[idle tusk]

oh sorry;

[kind veldt]

26th

[tired canyon]

Hey guys is there a cap for 3x XP

[kind veldt]

100 levles

[spare cove]

Thanks

[tired canyon]

Thx

[hybrid ore]

What an oddly specific amount.

[kind veldt]

typos are part of my charm at this point

[hybrid ore]

I can't judge, I spent 3 years spelling it Arialdi.

[near ether]

hello, is the ask for help when you die during a mission bugged ?

[hybrid ore]

Call-for-backup does work, but it's buggy and no one's quite sure why it works when it does.

[near ether]

that is annoying ahha (when there is a bug and you don't understand why)

[mossy goblet]

alright legit why do we have another warhound boss

[remote pecan]

no hate speech in here 😅

[tropic sentinel]

Less effort. No need to design characters, hire voice actors etc.

[stoic dragon]

god damn mike-1, delta-6, oscar-10

[tiny oar]

i mean that make sense cause arial is a font

[hybrid ore]

BT stole all their tech from the DARPA labs, DARPA made a bunch of warhounds.
It makes canonical sense.

[remote pecan]

making bosses invulnerable is such a cheap game design decision imho

[kind veldt]

at least is tech related

[remote pecan]

best thing is keener, EMPs the shit out of everything
also keener, protect me from drones pls 😄

[kind veldt]

it's not boss is angry for no reason like some of the base game bosses

[hybrid ore]

I usually heavily dislike when bosses are randomly unkillable, but in this case it's not that bad since there's a clear phase when it's able to be killed.
The one change I'd make is a voice indicator that it's healing.

[remote pecan]

I don't know, it is probably less annoying playing in a group, but I usually play the manhunt solo.

[hybrid ore]

I did it solo, just use the Jammer Pulse in the final room.

the Warhound's pathing isn't super amazing, so you can kinda "loop it" around blocks and such. It's actually a very easy fight if you keep on top of the Drones.

[remote pecan]

Yea, I know, it is not about that I couldn't get around it, but I just don't like it is designed.

[kind veldt]

i just abused memento and hunters fury healing to stay alive

armor on kill on multiple weak targets is pretty useful

[remote pecan]

Like drones don't count as "kills" like normal NPCs do and you don't get armor on kill, ...
Taking options from players makes stuff not fun for me.

[kind veldt]

you sure it doesnt?

guess it was just the trophies and armor regen from memento doing the work

[remote pecan]

Yep, trophies work.

[mossy goblet]

is thsi like the 2nd or 3rd time massive did a warhound boss

[kind veldt]

2nd time for main missions i think

well a new model, 3rd if you count the raid boss

or 4th i guess? still like buddy and lucy design

[tiny oar]

not really, its to indicate a phase change

[mossy goblet]

at least with buddy and lucy you have a big enough party to kill them

[tiny oar]

and that you need to do something to change that

but that fight isnt great cause its just time gated

and thats boring tbh

[mossy goblet]

great gotta either reset the manhunt or rerun the mission to get the last comms

[tiny oar]

just do last mission

[kind veldt]

and this game suffers a lot from people just being able to delete regular bosses

[tiny oar]

yeah its a pb

[mossy goblet]

I am fine with them trying up the difficulty

but at least make a fun and challenging boss fight

[tiny oar]

more hp isnt difficulty

[hybrid ore]

They added something else apart from more HP and people still complain.

[remote pecan]

don't care tbh that's why I said imho (in my humble opinion) I feel like it is cheap and that's it

[tiny oar]

what you would do instead ?

[kind veldt]

well robots can get away with being extra tanky, it's hard to justify to a dude

[remote pecan]

something you actively need to do (and I don't mean killing drones) like in other games, you have phases you need to evade stuff and phases you can damage, and if you manage to play good you can damage the boss in between or in the "evade" phase
like there is no room for good play making, just timegated, 'til you're allowed to damage the boss

in lost ark for example you can counter bosses, to extent damage phases or diablo with the stagger mechanic

[tiny oar]

well play raids or incursion then

[remote pecan]

I did

2 times world second 😅 in both raids

[tiny oar]

this is a normal mission, players doing it arent doing raids for most of them, you cant ask them to do the same as raids

most of them just do it for the story/comms

[kind veldt]

missions are expected to be done solo also hard to implement some of those mechanics

[remote pecan]

I don't want it unplayable, but get good players some challenge that isn't that cheap

[kind veldt]

johnson and keener original fights are example of do X mechanic to start the fight

[tiny oar]

all of what you said are too hard for casual players

[remote pecan]

that's what I'm asking not some raid mechanic, where you need 7 other ppl to get into the right phase

[tiny oar]

causal players just wanna shoot stuff

most of them dont even use skills or know how to build properly

they have bad dps, bad armor, etc

[remote pecan]

they can play lower difficulty

[deep ibex]

anyone else still having a few delta's here and there? (eu)

[tiny oar]

difficulty doesnt change mechanics

[kind veldt]

legendaries might be a good inbetween

[tiny oar]

you can play on normal or heroic, the mecanics are the same

[kind veldt]

DUA is about breaking parts to disable boss and killing him (good people just insta melt him anyway)

[remote pecan]

you don't want to understand my point really, ...
I want some wiggle room, so it appeals to every player, making bosses invunerable is just handcuffing everyone

[tiny oar]

i understand your point, im telling you you're asking too much from players

you cant put complex mechanics and then tell people to play on lower diff to avoid mechanics when it doesnt matter the difficulty

you have to separate both

thats why raid have them, same incursion

thats why normal missions dont have them

or very simple ones

and when they have one its very clear what you must do to complete them

like press a button, break a weakpoint, etc

[remote pecan]

yea and that's why they feel boring at least for me

[tiny oar]

nothing as complex as "bring boss to a spot then turn valve then dps also dont get close also he os you" etc

[tiny oar]

i completely agree on that, a timegated boss is boring af

they just wanted to have something different than just "more hp", it wasnt great but its still something

[mossy goblet]

welp another 2 more comms to go

doing the mission again

[spare cove]

Man, I don't know why people act like Chimera is difficult. It's not that hard to kill it. You just need jammer pulse to deal with drones, let Keener disable Chimera's shields, then do lot of damage to the warhound

[tiny oar]

cause its mostly uninterresting

[spare cove]

Uh-huh

[tiny oar]

its not hard, but very much not worth using my brain

which is fine most of the time tbh i like not using my brain

brain bad, bad brain, go turn off please

[spare cove]

Honestly, as far as Div 2 players and reddit bozos are concerned, if a boss can't be one shot immediately, its garbage

So I don't really care what they think

[tiny oar]

im fine if a boss cant be os tbh, but yeah most player lose their mind

"I CANT BE OVERPOWERED THIS IS BAD DESIGN3

feels like watching helldivers subreddit

"wym i cant destroy everything with a single weapon and actually have to struggle"

[vital aspen]

With the 3x XP, does it also mean running a new character through NY is 3 times faster?

[languid cradle]

People are seriously complaining that the Chimera is difficult to beat?

[hybrid ore]

Wait > Shoot, repeat is complex.

[full zinc]

people will complain about the sky being blue

[hybrid ore]

Three whole times? Madness.

[remote pecan]

psst, some ppl might say, they're testing the new seasonal progression 😄
but I think you need to be max level to have the event active, correct me if I'm wrong, not 100% certain

[hybrid ore]

The xp gained is for your SHD watch, correct.

[kind veldt]

i think it's more a case of people getting overwhelmed and constantly getting shoot at all sides without a plan

[hybrid ore]

Like any good video-game boss, you have to learn how to beat it

[tiny oar]

YOU WANT ME TO DO WORK ???????
how insane !!!
game = i win
😡

[languid cradle]

At least it was nice to have Keener as your ally in the bunker.

[mossy goblet]

alright 1 more time for the last comm

[stark heron]

Its even easier than sparkle lmao, its just constant breaking LoS

[languid cradle]

[languid cradle]

Sparkle is my worst enemy.

[stark heron]

I haven't bothered beating sparkle on anything higher than normal

Its a damage tank on normal even with a proper striker build

Ig a skill build could work but eh

[languid cradle]

All it took was an LMG to kill Sparkle.

[stark heron]

True

[wary gazelle]

nice finale mission on this manhunt

I wanted to be rogue man 🗣️

[languid cradle]

Me too

[wary gazelle]

with Anna watch

[languid cradle]

But Ubisoft never fails to disappoint

Had me excited and got disappointed at the end.

[wary gazelle]

I hope it can be part of DLC

but lets not give too much hope into that

[languid cradle]

True

[tiny oar]

here officier, its this guy, shoot him

[stark heron]

We are already "rogue"

Cal moment

[languid cradle]

Hated Cal from the start

[stark heron]

Same

[unique bramble]

Or scorpio, I've discovered that sparkle has EMP resistance but no shock resistance it seems, shock it while it's EMPed and EMP it while it's shocked.

[languid cradle]

...Huh.
You're better than Aaron Keener.

[stark heron]

Well someone at MSV clearly realised sparkle had no shock immunity, and gave it to chimera

[languid cradle]

So we had Sparkle and Chimera
Whats next?

[stark heron]

But hey, at least the damage vulnerability works

[unique bramble]

Nah, he probably designed the recruiter boss fight and said: let's do it again

[languid cradle]

A flamethrower, shield, and sniper warhound?

[stark heron]

How about all possible warhound weapons on one machine

Theres defo some more we haven't seen

[unique bramble]

And don't forget Lucy and Buddy from DH raid

[languid cradle]

A warhound with SHD Tech.

Just spam it against the Agent.

[languid cradle]

OOH THOSE TWO MADE ME MAD BRUH

MY TWO TEAMS WENT DOWN EXCEPT FOR TWO PEOPLE

[stark heron]

The fact that shd tech compatible warhounds exist is something

[spare cove]

You're not gonna believe this, but Warhounds are actually integrated with SHD Tech

[stark heron]

Can't wait for the day a warhound has shields, oxy and stinger hives

[stark heron]

The tech is just compatible with all the AI

[languid cradle]

Next thing we know, we have to kill 4 Hunters just to kill a warhound

[stark heron]

Its why higher difficulty named BTSU units have tech

[stark heron]

Rare negotiators usage

[kind veldt]

when are getting enemies riding warhounds?

[stark heron]

Mini DDP 52 ontop of a warhound

What a nightmare that would be

[languid cradle]

Too much coding for them

We'll never get it

[stark heron]

They coded in a shield mechanic

Lmao

Johnsons was different since the whole defender drone immunity already existed

[mossy goblet]

alright now that is all manhunt comms

[unique bramble]

I mean, just add a 2D sprite of a blue circle, make it immune and call it a day

[rigid dew]

Anyone else have issues with the ps5 edge controller on pc? It doesn't seem to go to the controller. Keeps swapping to the k&m

If you want to contact the mod team, feel free to PM the ModMail bot, it alerts the whole team that way.

[unique bramble]

Demolisher: 20% fire resistance, immune to explosion every 60s, refill magazine on armor break, wh for 15s after using armor kit, gives you a mortar and a grenade launcher.

Btw there is a bug where you get bleed immunity on pve for some reason.

[azure lintel]

that i did

if i did correctly

[hybrid ore]

Nope, you PM'd me.

You see the bot up the top right? Try and message it. It's the Green name.

[azure lintel]

but its in other server

does still works?

[stark heron]

Firewall is more for if you are a shield person

[hybrid ore]

If it's about another Server, we can't do anything about it. We only manage the day-to-day of this one.

[stark heron]

Honestly the bonus dps is nice

Helpful when playing with a team

[azure lintel]

i sended modmail i guess i wait for reply

[hybrid ore]

Well the bot hasn't received it, but it can be buggy so I'll just handle it this time.

[azure lintel]

well i wait from them until they reply

[frozen meadow]

a

Is there anything left to do in this game other than descentp

[kind veldt]

Sometimes the bot can choose other server to send the message if it has many servers attached to it, he probably sent to some other server that shares the same bot

[tropic sentinel]

Normally you get option to select in that case.

[kind veldt]

Well he said it was in another server and probably selected the wrongg thing

[dusty ridge]

I just got farmed in the dz it was 1vs1 and I was winning over and over... Then he brought a friend I kept getting one and not the other they went manhunt 3 times

I think I learnt I gotta stack more armor for this situations they kept winning with one have 10-20% armor

Good learning xp my clan couldn't help they are above shd1000

[tiny oar]

yeah dz learning curve isnt easy

[granite oar]

Does anyone know how to get the 5 Stars in a Pentagon Shape with a wolf in the middle Patch ?

Also indeed we will have to play it for the new exclusive content con these Seasonal events

[true badge]

I think it’s from a past season pass

[spare cove]

Y5S2 season pass.

So unless they do reruns or let us choose to grind the battle passes, you're outta luck.

[tiny oar]

you can talk about it in #division-universe

[granite oar]

Yeah… it was a level 100 reward in the Price of Power Season Pass 2 years ago 😭🫠

[tiny oar]

yeah you're out of luck

[granite oar]

I like the System of Helldivers 2. Let‘s you finish each pass, no time limit, iirc

[hybrid ore]

Div2 goes for an approach of "they're timed, but any of the actual gameplay stuff is free".

the bottom tier (the paid one) is all cosmetics and excess caches.

[tiny oar]

yeah thats pretty cool, not force people to get the pass every season

[tropic sentinel]

They've added comms from previous seasons, maybe some day patches will happen.

[tiny oar]

just matchmake or call for backup

[foggy echo]

@tiny oar What am I doing?But no one is joining

[tiny oar]

Change difficulty si you can run it solo then

[tropic compass]

died to outcasts in descent 😐

[spare cove]

You're not alone there. Hyenas are my least favorite enemies to fight in Descent

[languid cradle]

I hate Hyenas.

[tawny willow]

hello, I have a friend who will buy the game tonight, I have pretty advanced character but did not play for month, can I sort of "PL" him ?

[azure lintel]

hyenas hits very fast

[tawny willow]

anyone?

[real creek]

Yes you can.

[tawny willow]

would you explain how?

[real creek]

The method I use is to do invaded missions on heroic with all directives and right before boss room invite the low level person(typically level 30 from the character boost or starting WONY) finish the boss room and mission completes boom big xp. This method requires 6 mission completes if they are level 30.

[tawny willow]

that's what I was looking for, thx a lot !

[azure lintel]

Where’s the DV1 channel

[compact wadi]

Does anyone know if Acostas Kneedpads are in the open world loot pool drop?

[coarse ibex]

They are. Got them a few times

[elder sentinel]

should be, i have a couple pairs and all i do is control points pre much

[hybrid ore]

Yep, all Exotics (except never for EB/Rav/Reg/Ouro/Bighorn) are available from the LZ (open world) drop pool, assuming you have the Projects where applicable.

[unborn vigil]

I got a funny bug, while doing the manhunt bounties after clearing the control point every 15s i got a message saying " Supply room unlocked"

[compact wadi]

Thanks everyone I'll keep grinding

[languid cradle]

You get that too?

[unborn vigil]

Yeah. It was gone after i finished the manhunt

[languid cradle]

Yeah, it's a funny bug.

[hybrid ore]

I got that, but then it stopped and every time I'd enter a new "zone" of some sort, the "access denied, keycard required" audio would play very loudly, reverb echo and all.

Including whilst walking around the LZ, through every different room in a building, etc.

[fluid meadow]

79 gigs for the update? 💀

[hybrid ore]

Your game corrupted in some way, check your files first.

[kind veldt]

Seems to be PS thing, yesterday there was some people saying the same thing

[unique bramble]

There are no "files" for live service games on consoles. Just delete and reinstall the game.

Probably just need the role again check channels and roles at the top of the channel list

x3 exp is good x)

yea but that doesnt apply until im 40

[minor oriole]

oh i see

40 is needed to get x3 exp ?

[calm wraith]

yes

everything to do with seasons unlocks at 40

[minor oriole]

that's true i forgot that

i came back 1 week ago on the game

[calm wraith]

yea im trying to just blow through these levels

a few runs through heroic lincoln with directives should do it

[paper marlin]

Does the cluster seeker mine auto-target enemies or do I gotta manually target them? I've been having mixed results

[azure lintel]

seeker mine u have to aim where they land it

[paper marlin]

Even the cluster?

[azure lintel]

airburst as i know yes

i test clust

with cluster u aim and drop it where it lands

[languid cradle]

You can manually target them, otherwise just press RB on a target

[kind veldt]

Cluster automatically seeks, you just have to throw them like a grenade first

[tiny oar]

its auto targeted as soon as you throw them, other seeker require a targeting

[paper marlin]

Right cool

My clusters don't like to track enemies for like 75% of the time

[tiny oar]

they dont track enemies ever, they explode where the enemy was when it was launched

[paper marlin]

As in, they don't lock on tracking

The majority of the time, once deployed in combat, the seeker just stays staring at me

[tiny oar]

are you using the cluster seeker variant ?

[paper marlin]

Hence why I've mentioned cluster seekers, yes

[tiny oar]

if you throw them, they activate instantly, they come back to you if they detect no enemies around

if they come back to you and you encounter enemies later, you have to activate them

[paper marlin]

I've literally been in firefights and they still don't detect them

[cyan narwhal]

dont throw cluster in front of enemy. throw behind their back so they wont run.

[tiny oar]

can you record it ?

[paper marlin]

Next time I'm online, why not

[tiny oar]

cause its not supposed to act like that

[paper marlin]

Hence why I've been asking

[tropic breach]

shd and dz exp good?

[tiny oar]

before 40 you get shd xp when you kill npc and clear landmarks, and dz xp when opening dz drops, so ignore them

[full zinc]

switch over to mortar for better boom booms

[paper marlin]

I've switched over to the explosive launcher from the expansion today

[full zinc]

solid skill build would have mortar off cooldown in 9-10 seconds. much better than cluster seekers

[paper marlin]

I primarily run pulse scanner and an explosive

Along with demolitions which is now maxed out

Currently got around 1mil DPS and roughly 700k armour

[full zinc]

if you are using hardwire you can use mortar as trigger for feedback loop and be able to spam clusters

[tiny oar]

yeah thats what i do with hard wired

[paper marlin]

Question. Are raid/s the same as raids in other MMOs?

[tiny oar]

kinda

[paper marlin]

Can it be done solo?

[tiny oar]

but differents

[tiny oar]

absolutely not

[full zinc]

high end mortar build can hit 8-10 mil per shell, and can keep targeting the same npc.. mortar also reliably generates the noobtoob special ammo. pulse is pretty meh outside of dz.

[paper marlin]

F u c k

[tiny oar]

i mean its supposed to be a raid, not a walk in the park

[paper marlin]

ive legit done everything thus far on my own

[tiny oar]

yeah, you can solo most of the game

[paper marlin]

just not raids

[tiny oar]

but not raids and incursions, they are designed for groups

[paper marlin]

I'm guessing incursions are like dungeons or something?

[tiny oar]

idk what you mean by dungeons

[languid cradle]

I am never playing Iron Horse again.

[tiny oar]

but they are just small scale raids

[paper marlin]

sir, that's a dungeon

[tiny oar]

is it ? cant you do dungeons solo ?

[paper marlin]

Depends on the dungeon

[tiny oar]

whats your definition of dungeon then ?

[kind veldt]

Mechanics for raid and incursion require multiple people

Tho i think some few weirdos might have done solo incursion

But thats the exception not the rule

The someone press button while someone else also doing something on the other side

[tiny oar]

how can you do solo wright tho ?

[blissful kraken]

Hi

[dusty ridge]

The amount of income they lost but not letting players enjoy good skins is wild alot of these skins are so bad

colors too

looking at capacitor and cooling for example amazing

[kind veldt]

Capacitor is an exotic that got a retouch

[dusty ridge]

like feed on cod style whales so the game gets better funding

customization = happier players

[kind veldt]

I certainly dont like the new cods skins

Saw the same thing xdefiant and i cant understand who liked any skin in that game

[languid cradle]

Played xdefiant
Was fun for the first month

Then stopped

[dusty ridge]

its a yes and no for me let people choose for themselves

on more positive topic thoughts on effecient xp grinding in terms

[zinc ginkgo]

I’m trying to complete a Phoenix challenge it requires me to do the stronghold, but it puts it on the manhunt one how do I turn off the manhunt?

[dusty ridge]

bounty targets + public events + control points or just public events speed run?

[dusty ridge]

theres a button to toggle mission mode

look at the bottom right of your screen

on pc anyway

[tiny oar]

No, customization = lot of work in the studio which they cant do, they had to extend seasons cause it was too much work

If they had ton of money to hure staff then sure

But the div 2 player numbers arent worth doing that

[dusty ridge]

I would love a documentary on the dev lifetyle and challenges the only we got was about how they abused and overworked. Gamers are like if a indie studio can do so much why not a triple a company the common answer is the engine etc

issue is nda's

[tiny oar]

Welcome to gaming industry

Capitalism said = make money we dont care about quality

So they go for that

[dusty ridge]

that 💩 kills me inside draining the modern art creators current da vinci's people say its different not for me

[tiny oar]

Nothing is different, we all need to eat and pay rent, all Jobs are the same

What if BT program their warhound to move as a pact of 5 per pact

In event of their mounted weapon are disable or destroyed, they will attempt ramming at player as melee attack like rusher

does the first bounty of nyx constantly spawn in inaccessible locations underground for anyone?

[azure lintel]

hi agents

[azure lintel]

its raid not dungeons

[hybrid ore]

Try looking around the sides, there's almost always a door that opens.
Sometimes you need to open one though.

If it's the one I suspect it is, theres a garage door that opens once you clear the above stuff.

[white mica]

So confused about this story

[hybrid ore]

@white mica Someone over in #division-universe would be happy to explain it to you.

from all of the current ubi franchises td2 is easily the most polished game they made in years

i wish there was more

maybe even standalone games with different characters

[formal helm]

to be honest comparing it with d1

gunplay and mechanics feel far better

story is okay, makes sense so far and while it might not have been quite as well written as d1, it's still good

but the designs and especially the cosmetics are genuinely vomit inducing

they did not cook with those
and they seem to be allergic to adding proper helmets

optimization issues (especially the massive stuttering issue) and weird bugs still pop up fairly often

and lorewise some of the factions just..aren't it
true sons for example, till today i still do not understand what their motivations are aside from their general getting martialed
also where on god's green earth are they getting their endless supply of dress blues from lmao

and don't even get me started on the player available hunter stuff, recruiter especially. d1 hunter designs were the PEAK, but d2 butchered them all. veil mask got absolutely slaughtered in d2. The recruiter's two outfits both look like something you'd wear..inappropriately. it's skintight and has a tactical diaper. the mask texturing is horrid.

memento though, that one is sick

oh and the weird durag thing on the earlier few masks is rather icky too, but the more recent ones with beanies and the american flag one is pretty good

the ACH helmets from d1 (the ones used by LMB and JTF) should come back imo

[sullen viper]

what you mean the set pieces are better than div 1

set pieces as in locations not gear sets

[sullen viper]

all of the factions are diverse and have different motivations they are interesting to me

[sullen viper]

bro only plays for cosmetics

i think there is more to the game than dress up

[sullen viper]

the story is way better, just the fact that sfter the initial campaign there is a post campaign that keeps brining more story content is amazing

[formal helm]

no, design wise only
and no, design wise they're not better
with a scant few exceptions

forgive the language, some are straight up tarded

also things like having a pouch on your back or waist for carrying every skill device, to now having them just sorta float in mid air

[formal helm]

I know that, I'm up to date. It's just in my personal opinion d1 was somewhat more well written in the little details. but the story in d2 is still superb of course

[formal helm]

Nah, gameplay and gunfeel's the most important to me, followed by plot, then cosmetics

which is why i'm still willing to pay for any future DLCs and etc

[formal helm]

Yeah generally the writing's okay, it's just a matter of logical details that bothers me

same thing would apply to hyenae - the stocks of old LEO gear and arms/ammo in DC is finite since government chain of supply is no longer existent, same issue with true sons

outcasts make sense since they use a mix of surplus gear, makeshift equipment, etc

imho the only constantly well-funded and equipped faction should be the BTSU seeing as to how they still have access to their assets on the west coast and overseas

Also the BTSU all run mountain/alpine and retrofitted cold weather gear, just swapping out the top for something more breathable, which is a nice touch since some people theorize they have Alaskan bases

[kind veldt]

Well in game it only has gone through a few months

And i think one of the wony side mission does count on rikers using gold to try to make their own currency and bullets?

[formal helm]

yeah that exists

iirc, btsu used to (or still does?) covertly provide hyenas and true sons with equipment

[kind veldt]

Not anymore

Invasion mission is about them taking back supplies they left for them

[spare cove]

Only the Hyenas

Until they didn't back in Season 10

[molten verge]

Can Countdown Normal be done solo

I just want Striker's Battlegear

[languid cradle]

I suppose it can

[molten verge]

how hard can it be

[hybrid ore]

@molten verge The idea behind farming Countdown is sheer amount of loot, and repeat the mode.
The reason to do it on Challenging in a group, is that on Challenging; enemies only drop gold/gearset/exotic loot, all other colours are removed from the pool.

Countdown is designed to be played in a group, you'll find a team very easily if you just Matchmake on Challenging. And don't forget to set Targeted Loot (TL) to what you need.

[dusty ridge]

Really gotta look into vile my burn damage and scorpio build with it did way better then i expected 3 maned admin. on countdown while the rest of team failed vip
dont quite understand how it works yet
quicker then a full team as well... scratching my head

[hybrid ore]

Countdown buffs and just general RNG can make builds act so very weirdly.

[dusty ridge]

ah yeahhh

thats it

[molten verge]

Damn I was trying to find a group on normal, no wonder why i couldnt matchmake

[dusty ridge]

challenging takes less then a min

[molten verge]

but how do I matchmake for Countdown as someone who just got to level 40

[wheat zinc]

Map-matchmake (along the top)- select Countdown then difficulty

[molten verge]

ik, but will people accept me?

[dusty ridge]

cant upload a pic in this chat on challenging everyone is just chilling since your new just follow and help

youll get used to it

[molten verge]

I just randomly somehow got one gear set, was for Rifles I think

[dusty ridge]

you can target loot on countdown and summit

whenever im testing or wanting a certian gear set i use countdown

[hybrid ore]

It's Countdown, as long as you keep up they likely won't even care if you help that much

[kind veldt]

Just stick to bigger group

[molten verge]

How do I know if i can keep up

[kind veldt]

And dont spam turrets and drones at the end

[molten verge]

can I use Defender Drones

[hybrid ore]

Literally yeah, just follow the biggest group.
Don't use deployable skills at the end/very start, the Hunters can hack them and turn them hostile.

[molten verge]

how hard are the hunters to deal with

[kind veldt]

A bit if you are in a group

[dusty ridge]

80% of time they melt sometimes people die you will be fine

[hybrid ore]

The group will deal with them, just make sure you do the objectives during each Encounter. That leaves more time for the DPS people of the group to kill stuff.

[kind veldt]

Countdown just turn into agents murderballing everything due amount of people

[molten verge]

after I get striker's battlegear should I get hunter's Fury

[kind veldt]

Do you want to play close range with shotguns and SMGs?

[molten verge]

Yeah

[kind veldt]

Then do it

[molten verge]

is there a gear set good for Clearing WONY content

[hybrid ore]

WONY is just the campaign, after that all content is fairly similar.

NYC and DC are effectively the same difficulty, just different factions and map layouts.

[full zinc]

add capacitor and you can stack a hell of a lot of burn strength from 60% skill damage +12% dta

[small spear]

all the buckets

[dusty ridge]

Dta?

I saw the news about the increased xp event going to 700mil

[minor oriole]

well

[dusty ridge]

But when is it happening 😱

[minor oriole]

i think it's the cap to get the reward

but x3 exp should gone in 5 days

my bad 4 days arround

[small spear]

damage to armor

[full zinc]

it can increase fire strength against armored npcs

[dusty ridge]

Ok I'll try I wanted to see how hunters fury, Scorpio and vile go together maybe crowd control on heroic can be easier and faster

I had this weird thought my capacitor came with magazine size and honestly maybe it's worth it. You can just hold down the trigger longer till it max caps without reloading. Don't know if it's worth it though

[fast ember]

I’m never gonna get the Scorpio. I’ve opened so many exotics. And it’s always sweet dreams ☹️

Why doesn’t anyone want me to be happy

[kind veldt]

The more you think about the less likely

Empty your mind

[fast ember]

I won’t even look at the screen while I’m opening it

[spare cove]

Trust me, it'll work better that way

[dusty ridge]

Where are you getting sweet dreams ive been trying since I got the game?

[wraith oriole]

I belive you have to buy that

[fast ember]

Just through exotic crates using countdown coins

[wraith oriole]

Comes in that bundle right?

[fast ember]

I’ve gotten like 3 of them. I just want a Scorpio

[wraith oriole]

Scorpio I get so many times

I do countdown

[fast ember]

Even with targeted loot I haven’t gotten one. It’s frustrating

[wraith oriole]

don’t waste it on the exotic crate in countdown requisition

[small spear]

sweet dreams just drops anywhere

just rng

[wraith oriole]

Just keep on grinding with targeted loot

oh I thought u have to purchase the sweet dreams my mistake

[small spear]

yeah but you get other stuff from exotic caches, and you need components for expertise eventually even if you get bad exotics

[wraith oriole]

well I ahve 150 excotic components

[small spear]

if you haven't done any expertise that's chump change

[wraith oriole]

I’ve done expertise

I just need to get my level higher rn it’s 17

Almost at 18

[small spear]

i'm talking expertise 26 for 20 different items

[wraith oriole]

oh

[small spear]

that's chump change

[wraith oriole]

well I havnt gotten to that level soo

[small spear]

yeah so just giving a heads up

you need a lot more components

that's if you're speedrunning and doing a bunch of stuff tho. take your time

[wraith oriole]

i literally only do countdown to get my expertise level higher

so it will take a long time

but with the xp event maybe less time

[small spear]

the xp event doesn't help with expertise xp

it just helps with leveling

[wraith oriole]

Oh

but it’s still xp tho?

[small spear]

yeah it helps with leveling

they're different progressions

[wraith oriole]

oh

didn’t know that

[small spear]

leveling faster does help

but no expertise has nothing to do with it

[wraith oriole]

ok got you Ty for that

I didn’t know the expertise was a whole different thing to the leveling system

[languid cradle]

Is countdown worth it?

[wraith oriole]

yes

For gear u want and to expertise stuff

[languid cradle]

Huh, okay.

[small spear]

when has this game made any mechanic clear

😔

[wraith oriole]

Just target loot like ARs and soon u will expertise all the ARS

mine at 35 rn

sm1 said to me they only did countdown and using every skill and they got there’s to max in a month

using like literally every named item etc

[timber hatch]

Vile really isn't what you want on that build. Your much better off using the HF mask so you can run a high end or exotic chest and backpack. The HF chest and backpack talents just aren't strong enough to warrant using.

[kind veldt]

Vile is for silly builds like pestilence OD vile

Or by the books eclipse also

[forest bay]

Hi

Is the season ticket permanent Or do I have to buy it again when the current season ends?

[kind veldt]

Only for one season, it only has cosmedics and extra mats the free version has all the gear

[forest bay]

Are the other seasons the same awards or do they change?

[kind veldt]

Change every season

Most gear just gets added to base game, such as brands, gear sets and exotics

Cosmedics also rarely come back from the season track

[forest bay]

Oh that's good I bought the season and thought it was permanent like some games but thank you my friend

[kind veldt]

We still have couple of weeks in this season and a triple xp event or something also

[spare cove]

You have a dozen weeks left for this season and with the current x3 XP and x5 XP event in 3 weeks, you should have no problem completing the season pass in no time

[kind veldt]

So grinding this season is going to the easiest one so far

[forest bay]

Yep yeah the event came at the right time I reached level 40 a few hours ago

[forest bay]

I will work hard to reach her maximum level this season.

[wraith oriole]

this is the division 2 dev teams way of saying we need more players because of wu Kong and space game thingy warhammer so they’re making ppl get more xp

I enjoy it

[spare cove]

Pretty sure the average player would be surprised if they found out the Division 2 still has a playerbase

[wraith oriole]

I’m only still playing because I have a functioning clan and PvP is fun

[spare cove]

I still play it because it gives me satisfaction

[wraith oriole]

PvP for me is fun

some people not because hackers and cheaters etc

[forest bay]

The second part is full of events and many missions, and I think this is the reason why players continue to play a lot.

I found someone who is level 17k

[languid cradle]

Who has that much time to play that much 😭

[hybrid ore]

SHD levels have been in the game since March 2020, even if you farmed then took a break, etc, you can quite easily be well over 10k.

and there's been a few since removed methods to gain xp unintentionally fast over the years.

[plucky burrow]

Is the warhound clicked or something?

Gliched

?

[hybrid ore]

I assume you mean the one in the latest Manhunt mission, the answer is: probably no, but turn your dialogue audio on and look at the right side of your screen.

[kind veldt]

I think some people did get abug where it didnt go to a new phase and would just sit there

[delicate monolith]

I was wondering whats the best gamemode or place or smth to do for full potencial of the 3x xp bonus?

[spare cove]

Open World activities like public execution and propaganda broadcast on 5 Directives/Heroic gives plenty of XPs

Even easier with a Determined MMR build

[delicate monolith]

i see, what about game modes? any good one that i could do instead of open world?

[full zinc]

you may need to grease the wheels a little with some good ol fashion Lootcifer sacrifices.
Sacrificing a heroic CD extraction with a hacked t6 stinger hive/clusters/mortar turret really seems to get his attention /s
🔥 😈 🔥

gl farming agent

[fast ember]

If it will get me a Scorpio that’s a risk I’m willing to take

[minor oriole]

Do you know why Wraith hunter dont spawn ?

[spare cove]

Did you try to spawn Wraith Hunter at night time?

[minor oriole]

i will try

i saw tons of video spawning at day somehow

[sullen viper]

exotics could be more memorable imo

like in destiny

does anyone feel the same way?

[azure shore]

I left Division for a long time, think around a few months after Warlords came out. Came back a couple weeks ago, and I have to say, I'm surprised at how often exotics have been dropping. I think I got two world drops on Tuesday night when I was grinding out some xp, wasn't even trying to farm drops

[azure lintel]

bro wtf on tidal two exo droped

luck is luck

[azure shore]

Not sure. Maybe it's RNG trying to seduce me back to playing Division 2 as my main game again - but I seem to remember back before I left, exotic drops being about as rare as a masterball

[hybrid ore]

Targeted Loot has been added since, combined with Directives, it's made Exotics much more obtainable.

add the fact that you can buy exotic caches every 2-3 Countdown runs and you're swimming in them now.

[kind veldt]

Yeah exotics are stuff you just trip over while playing regularly or really numerous if you focused on grinding them in general

[hybrid ore]

Heck, even Bounty Named Enemies have a high chance of dropping the Chameleon, if you want a quick way to solo gather them.

[minor oriole]

yup it did worked thanks\

[spare cove]

No problem

Just remember that some open world Hunters only spawn during night time.

[minor oriole]

yup

[hybrid ore]

And that "nighttime" in div2 is defined as "between 21:00 and 05:00 ingame time".

[minor oriole]

it was still confusing bc some on video work at day

yup got it

wraith was working at day somehow x)

i guess it changed
