Was in dz south, didn’t get critperors guard as the tl was kneepads
do descent 💀
weren't emperors only from descent?
Blueprint iirc
Easy for you to say
I see Ubisoft has bumped up the Exotic requirements to the old levels.
the what now?
Project Resolve halved the requirements for the total needed in Expertise,
AFAIK there's been no increased Exotic requirements added, well, ever.
Its vaguely similar
The event is ridiculous, complete the project to get one reward, then you have to wait more than 2 hours 🙂
I thought the event would be fun, but no, I was disappointed. I hope that the upcoming events will be fun and not repetitive.👍
Past “events” have been exactly this
Don't tell anyone, but we renamed it "division 2" a while back and no one's noticed yet.
I love how lore accurate this community is, I was in the DZ for the first time in like a year or something and met a rogue agent on a landmark, instead of killing me, he just saluted and helped me deal with them, then he left, a few months ago he would have melted me or something because somehow rogue agents are op
original exo costs would see you using 175 exo/item for level 26 upgrade... its currently in the 50-60 exo range to max expertise an item, iirc. around 1/3 the original costs 😅
That kind of thing is why I prefer games with a few miles on them. The community mellows out and it's all much more pleasant.
Especially ones where the average player-base's age is as "owns a train set" as div2's is.
I love that, may I steal that description of the Div 2 playerbase?
Erm
You can acquire the Nemesis exotic via target loot MMR after getting the Nemesis Blueprint right?
I found out the happy way
Got one from West End
Basically, when you complete a Project, the thing gets added to your loot pool, although a notable exception is the Regulus.
Chatterbox/Dodge City/Liberty/Nemesis, etc. All added.
(and the best part: if you share blueprints between characters: they can farm it out too)
Aren’t project blueprints unlocked individually?
Just buy everything from the Crafting Vendor, you'll have them added.
So once I have all the reconfigure blueprints I can farm all the respective exotics out ‘cept the Regulus?
Ok
Chatterbox, Nemesis and other exotics craftable, they add in your loot table when you got one in inventory.
For exemple, a friend loot Nemesis, drop it so you can pick it up then give it back to your friend. Nemesis is added to your loot table.
What's today's mooncake project?
Division 2 players on their way to play the shit out of a new event and blame the game's boring later
Shoe
I meant what activity I need to do to complete it
4 activities in judiciary square
Cool. I can handle those, no problem
I mean the event is doing couple side activities, it's not like it's a big thing 😅😅
Stream is roughly in one hour?
yeah
Who’s pumped for the PTS!?!?
Stream is starting in three and a half minutes, folks. That's 3:25 to go as of right now.
Alright people. Were they cooking or not
We will find out in 2 minutes
It started
they were not cooking-
Alright I will be fr
skull has theo glasses?
It's cool
nerd skull.
Bruh are they making it so we can't finish the season pass in a day
So season levels is just useless
No, why would they be useless?
You advance the season pass by doing these objectives, not just mindlessly farming stuff.
(sorry I can't hear very well I'm in 2 livestreams at once)
:pains:
rivens is disappointed in me sorry
I didn't read that right
Alright this is cool so far
My biggest fear is seasonal characters
lets wait until they talk about them, theyve said they have been changed
As long as they aren't forced and lose rewards I'm fine with it
You were never going to lose the rewards, you could transfer the new gear you got to your main character
I love people in the chat asking if people still play this trash lol
They must have nooooooo life to be doing that
No reason to focus on trolls
sad people tbh
Oh absolutely sad
You must be lvl 40 before you can access the 4th level of journeys, with each level before that being 10 levels below.
seasonal characters have been removed, all other features have been kept
If I repeat something someone else hsa said don't worry about it, I'm using it as an archive method.
Thank you Rivens
Gimme more damage lol
well not a watch, a brick hilariously
the SHD brick on your back now is a menu for seasonal modifiers
they interact and change the global modifier```
this whole range zone thing might end up feeling tedious, but we'll have to see i guess
poggers
all listed modifiers change each season, not just swap around
I can still create a seasonal character?
@spare cove #td2-general-chat message
I see. So I can play it on my main then
is this power creep?
So no seasonal characters but the journey requires a new character? A bit confused
Do these modifiers apply to our normal character?
might wanna pin that
Guess I gotta try the pts
Bro, this game is so dead. It took me five hours to find someone to play on matchmaking
they are leaking into discord lmao
They need to come on and come out with division three already
It's been announced, many years away still.
Or make it cross server
gotta wait at least 5 years for that i reckon
crossplay

e.g. hsd massively increased, bodyshots massively decreased.```
What were you trying to matchmake for?
I haven’t played the game in years, bro. I’m a fresh cookie.
And the account I played on got banned
So story mode?
And yet you complained the game is dead 💀
Is more dead than Warframe
banned
expects sympathy
bold strat, let's see how it plays out
Hostile Modifiers aren't chosen, also change each Season
Okay now I know this is a troll.
I’m a police officer, bro sympathy is not in my book
🗿
deja vu
hard countdown 👴
i feel like you said hte same thing a couple of weeks ago
@naive bear Do me a favour, say "the game is reprogrammed".
POV: You don't even know player counts
Okay back to the stream, this stuff is great!
The way things going is less than 100 😂😂😂😂
Modifiers will NOT apply in pvp or Descent
I'm quite excited
decent
Some modifiers lock out Global Events, so must be disabled to start. Entirely due to balance
yeah I wonder how long it took for them to figure that might not be a good idea
Wonder if it has the same "you have to turn it back on manually" thing GEs have after a Countdown, Raid, Incursion or foray into the DZ
Y6S2: Shades of Red
Manhunts: no longer unlock 4 targets and 1 prime one, now there's "scouts" and they unlock each week, 14 weeks total
"Scouts" are hidden by riddles to unlock
this one is obviously the taxi control point but yeah
holy a div2 activity that doesn't require you to kill 900 people
so far they're cooking, hope it plays well

The hidden scout/riddle is a good change
Each Scout has its own reward card, each gives a voice comm and a "small other reward". Must be Lvl 40
yeah even if it's easy as heck it'd still be a nice change of pace
````several scouts from the season are in the PTS, but not all. Minor story spoilers within the PTS```
that might get me to try the PTS ngl
Manhunt scouts sounds neat
All 14 scouts must be completed
yeah, hopefully they can keep it fresh for a while at least
You need to do all 14 scouts to unlock the final target
oof
new difficulty real
new raid real
?????
new special difficulty based on the seasonal modifiers, only available within the final target's mission
and this is a good way to incentivize playing weekly as well
(which is great because as it stands i only log in every few times every month for the manhunt and league stuff)
yeah that's probably the master difficulty they mentioned
Note: new difficulty has "modified mechanics" which sounds an awful lot like tweaked skills.
For real?
I wish
the UI for the range modifier is around the reticle
Lol
o my God it's that random Lincoln memorial spawn in the front
My queendom for that being added to Talents that use it.
we can probably expect people to lab out exact numbers for the ranges
Modifiers do not alter xp gains
3 active, 12 passive, 4 enemy modifiers this season
Uh he has modifiers so who knows
Modiifiers are active during raids and incursions
Wait wtf
You can disable modifiers
i mean
Uh no I can’t wait to see how fast speedruns can get
that could either or break some of them
````Every tier of the Journey has 8 objectives, only 6 are required to advance```
It's driving me nuts how he has that shield he's not using lol
Yeah it has 61 rounds
He's cosplaying as the average div2 player.
The Elmo had like 71
Did I miss the stream?
Nope
its on rn
Oh shit, a whole gear rebalance....
"basically" every single item has been rebalanced.
there goes my striker build...
O no Oreo nerf I can smell it
Was that not mentioned until now? Rofl that's huge
All rebalance values are listed in the patch notes, with comparisons to current values
cant wait to see everything i have being bad and having to refarm everything xd
"oh btw, everything is different"
Patch Notes are going live wihtin a few hours of the preload starting
All changes/nerfs subject to change
Gimmie EB buff make it bis
@ebon steeple What is it, 2019.
rip azurmen
So while this is for the PTS, is this what drops in a little over 4 weeks for the new season?

There's going to be more than one phase of the PTS
did they talk about new gearset or exotic?
im sad seasonal characters arent a thing anymore :(
I haven't played in about 6 months or so, anything new that's been added or that will be added soon that I should play for?
I would've liked them optional
Not yet but you get an whole big rebalance
Are patch notes today?
@idle pecan Have a look at the highlighted messages of mine in this chat for the last little while, all upcoming changes.
yeah i'm curious about new gear
@ebon steeple #td2-general-chat message
since everything changed someone mentioned that seasonal tracker was missing
yeah same
what the counter under his shd level in the live?
Season Pass menu is still there, it just wasn't shown in the stream.
are said to balance it out.```
poor rivens must type as fast as the live goes. Rivens you have all of my respect xd
Throwback event?
"Older seasons are not purchasable, but you will be able to play all in chronological order in a "throwback evnet"
That's gonna go well with the subreddit
Oh not purchasable so meh
I will say, even with that mag nerf on the Elmo it looks like it's reloading incredibly fast
So, not able to level up past the season passes, then?
Didn't it always reload fast it had 20% reload
thats the effect of a 20% handling mod + 15% striker handling attribute
The older season passes are not returning.
Maybe I just don't notice it when I'm playing and it seems more impactful when it's someone else lol
O no Oreo def nerfed
Hope so
ANNA seems to have a lot of dialogue throughout the game
My only issue is I have no faith in their ability to balance things since they've really shown themselves to be clueless in the game balance area
"Modifiers are stated to be incredibly strong, so any nerfs are at least partially to balance them out
No way we aren't seeing the new exotics
okay new eoxtics and brands are still part of the seasonal thing
Each Agent has their own modifiers active, not like directives. No word on Hostile Modifiers yet
So it's different for each player?
Ducks are actually part of the lore if you shoot them
I can't believe I typed that.
Ngl, I'm really interested for next aeason
makes sense since you'll want to build your modifiers around the rest of your build
Any idea what's next season called
used name as a place-holder```
5x XP event is active for about 3 days this Season, confirmed to be capped at 1000 levels, alongside Golden Bullet.
No DLC news as of today
Well, I'm Keen to hear more of ANNA
Hardore is getting "a look at" this Season.
Project Resolve 2.0
Resolve harder
Skills are not being rebalanced, yet`` Cheater bans are set to increase, the best way to report is via the Support Ticket, NOT twitter.```
The Resolvening
Spec Rework is still on the cards, but not for a while yet. Has not been cancelled. Initial version marked as "not strong enough".
1-strap backpacks are not possible in div2 due to the Agent models being different from div1 Apparently this is a controversy, seriously.
Man people are losers lol
Hey not, every one's got a hobby.
that backpack thing is older issue they mentioned
Give me one strap or give me death
Potentially new hairstyles, but might take a bit
1 hour til patch notes
One more hour until patch notes
Those notes are gonna be like a legal document lol
no new raids
No more leagues
Man, I'm gonna miss getting those backpack trophies
Those leagues were kinda fun
Timed challenges are almost certainly returning
The time bonus stuff could be a part of those challenges though
It's the same idea that you have to finish x mission in y minutes
Makes sense
Hopeful but confused tones about transmogs for Exotics
Any idea what is the size of T22 update on PC ? thanks
Daria's lipstick is smudged
"please read the entire patch notes, don't talk on doomsday scenarios over a few things"
What do you mean, I wanna overreact
That shade from Yannick
"Oh no, my thing that's been meta is going to be slightly less meta but more potential viable options"
Chinese version of div2's items have to be added on a casy-by-case basis and is subject to MSV themselves
PvP glitch is being fixed during TU 21.5
MSV work on 5 versions of the same version of div2 at the same time, not including the Chinese version of div2, which is a different team
anyone?
No one can possibly know.
thx
The most important announcement. Possible Dinosaur costume in the future.
No secret versions of div2 exist, stop askingHmm, suspicious.
More interesting in 32 man and changed dz's
feedback, feedback, feedback, feedback on the PTS
Exactly
that wasn't bad..yet.
Patch notes are going to be interesting and ultimately if the feedback is heard
i mean it explained how seasonal format and modifiers work
its funny seeing yannick suffer in challenging lincoln tho
wouldnt say that was nothing
like bro how could you fumble so hard
Striker was clearly nerfed that much
"nothing" is a bit much.
the seasonal modifiers looked kinda brutal.
he was fighting for his life
well good to know some modifiers make your life harder
Imagine the modifiers don't work with status effects builds 
i was half expecting to see him use the striker chest because of how low the stacks were,but in the split frame when he opens his build it does not have the chest😭
tho this one reminds me a bit too much of Div1 GE
fair but why activate them
The fact that we're getting 3 different type of modifiers, and they're going to be unique to each Season.
like there's hard modifiers and there's bs modifiers like broken armor
D1 ge modifiers were good
im not seeing the full picture but im neutral on that
So I skimmed through the new livestream, did they say anything about other content like gearsets or events
No
still in there, not the focus of the stream
they did say that older manhunts will be replayable thru a throwback event or something
We’re getting another rebalancing
why add modifer that nerf u like armour like simple dont use it
@frosty wadi #td2-general-chat message
Because they had trade offs
hmm
i dont think you dont get a choice ot NOT have enemy modifiers if you are using the new seasonal modifiers
Possibly peak??????
One of the modifiers was a 150% HSD increase, but a body-shot nerf.
want more power, you also get more challenge from what i say
doubt it
Same but Im choosing to have hope
project resolve was arguably a bunch of nothing burger balance
i did not remember the meta shifting
did they say if normal day to day stuff gets u progress towards the season track now are is it only the 6/8 stuff u have to do
will oreo actually get a good talent?
do we know when pts will be aviable ?
like the response to the rifle buff feedback was "nah"
Hah, good one
tomorrow
nice
Hostiles ones are activated by the game, so the other ones balance it out more, but still leave you strong enough to warrant a balance pass.
the pts should be on downlaod tab tomorrow at 10am uk time mostly day of the pts
That seems to be the gist, if I'm reading it right.
also that headshot buff modifier
unless they demolish determined overnight i dont see it ending well
"Point Blank." is one of the Global Modifiers: "if coyotes, but be outside of that specific range and your damage sucks"
You don't like that close range dmg boost and that 150% hsd modifier???
also the one that reflects damage dealt if you shoot them out of range
promotes braindead gameplay so eh
they should completely remove determined
each Passive Modifier tweaks the way the global ones work.
or properly fix it because the named versions work correctly
Is the 5x bonus xp active this week or next week?
there is no justification for why determined should stay that way
Can anyone explain that damage range modifier from the stream today and how you can actually tell what the appropriate range for each enemy should be? How do you read that red/yellow/blue on the sights?
Blue was close, yellow mid, red long
You'd think they would balance almost everything ingame and leave hotshot untouched?`
oh no they wouldn't
i mean they could
wouldn't be the first time they lacked foresight
How do you tell whether to move up or back then? I saw all three colors on the sights.
i'll get every item max proficiency during the 5* xp event anyway
There was a line that went with it, it moved depending on who you were ads'd on
Hey, any excuse to not rely on Determined is fine by me
there is a line telling you how far you are
Why is determined even an issue if people are just using it for leveling?
it trivalize everything
heroic difficulty doesnt matter you oneshot everything
im sure you can even use it for legendary up until chungas
its so stupid
I know people are apprehensive, but I'm really interested in next season.
Dare say, excited?
yeah same
I still thought we were doing seasonal characters, forgot they dropped that
People complained too much without knowing the full story, so they were killed off.
like determined
And as expected, the subreddit stream thread has people throwing tantrums over the modifiers
i mean hotshot is not hte problem, determined is i would say
It's used for far more than leveling because it trivializes the game and is FAR stronger than the other talent options.
yeah, you can basically deal 20/30m on anyone every 0.3s
thats just insane
and it require 0 aim
Oh I'm just messin around, I don't care if it gets nerfed to the ground. I've only used that hotshot/determined/headhunter to mess around
if a game has a build that jsut lets you sneeze at everything to instantly delete it, then people wont really like it
still an odd case in coop PVE game still
Waiting for the preload to come up
waiting on the patchnotes first
I'll be away from this channel once that happens.
I expect a lot of doomposting
i need to complain.... with reasonable intentions
As long it's reasonable
But doomposting is substantially different from reasonable complaints
mostly curious about stuff that kinda stinks like sweet dreams and few others
no doubt striker/oreo/elmo got touched down a bit
but more curious about how sweet dreams/mosquito/aegis ended up
When those items are the meta, it'd be foolish to not be touched
I can see striker backpack going from 1 to 0.8 or something like that. I think they're going to keep the buffs and nerfs pretty easy
In the words of Yannick: #td2-general-chat message
wonder if regulus is on the nerf list
yeah not going to doom post because of strikers and stuff iknow is the strongest right now
Come on, Rivens. You can't expect a lot of those people to read
more curious about what became good
Same @kind veldt I'm more interested in viability than the nerfs
we know elmo got magazine changed, not gonna cry for that
ppl were saying the dmg seemed lower
10 less bullets isn't a deal breaker by any means. Could have a slight buff somewhere else
hard to say because modifiers
And the build yeah
re: changes in the PTS phase 1 and 2: the idea is more to buff up underused/underpowered loot and less about nerfing down, although some stuff will be weakened.
however: most of these changes are more to do with the Season Modifiers than anything else. They appear to be quite OP themselves.
but if somehow tip of the spear gear set became even worse
then i will complain a lot
Bird shot, ToTS strongest soldier
I didn't prepare any builds for this rework :pains:
thats the reasonable intentions part
the biggest gut punch with nerfs is our expertise investment into these things
Yeah, and also because you're a patriot for Tip of The Spear.
A true patriot
i really cant fin the last puppeteer coms and its killing me
oh
thanks for the link
Let's be honest: that always should've been the case.
Oh yeah, crazy utility everywhere @hybrid ore
Ookay Mosquito now is....okay it's something.
dang thats a crazy gear set
Striker going from 1 to 0.85 on backpack and that's the only change
||totally not based on what made once, kinda||
Most gearsets getting buffs
Elmo and Ouro got nerfed but how bad is the nerf..
new Mosquito:
Hitting an enemy applies a stack. Stacks are shared between players. At 5 stacks, the enemy will forcefully target the last player to apply a stack for 5s **and take 40% more damage to armor. (from all sources)**. Stacks deplete every 5s. Activating the effect on an enemy will remove all stacks from other enemies.
it's a tank sidearm
** is the change* *
Elmo -5 crit damage, -5 crit chance, -10 weapon handling, -10 rounds
Those are from the attachments
Ouro -10.4% ROF, -10 rounds
That does hurt it but is it enough to kill it entirely?
exotic FAL, they actually did it
Wait did elmo get nerfed?
yeah
Yep
YEAAAAAH BABY
just a bit, nothing to cry over
Yeah along with ouro
Balling
Ceska 1 piece getting changed from 10 to 6.5 crit chance
Devs actually cooking????
I retract my statement
they were not but alright
Someone mind linking me the full patch notes? My browser is being uncooperative.
There's multiple
Yes please someone
I expect people to be very angry at patch notes
nerfing AK is a weird one
A lot of buffs to attachments makes high end better
Im concerned now
Obliterate going from 25 to 17 stacks. Doesn't seem to be a determined, headhunter or hotshot change at all
AKM on rifle category? i'm a crazy or they meant merciless?
So the changes to Ouro makes it pretty much a 45 ACP High End Vector almost lol
And with attachment buffs, high end might be better with the right talent
weird ot nerf MDR when it was bottom of the barrel lately
Ouro got nerfed are you kidding..
It was meta
Scorpio nerf too
As is the case with patch notes, I expect undocumented changes
I mean this is not final so letz's see what happens
Dude wtf
oof thats a big hit to super 90
pvp only
They did not in fact cook
I knew Blinder would get angry lol
Ah good comms
i think the striker nerf is good
Wtf is with this new range fetish
weird changes to range a lot on things
Whats the cham buff
the patchnote was going so well
0.85 percent.. eh.. could have been 0.60..
takes 10 less shots to proc body and leg buff
Tbf thats okay I guess but really stupid
no mod buff too
some really really weird takes on shotguns
this means nothing in the grand scheme of things
They buffed the FAMAS and f2000, they are just pulling random levers without ANY understanding....
I guess it means nothing unless they massively rework the Cham
This season might be what starts the outrage, I can feel it brewing in my bones
"please read the entire post instead of doom speaking"
oh wow they kept hte optimal range buff on the AR magazine, the yare crazy
thats called throwing random shit at the wall and see what sticks
Heh, you really hate those devs, huh?
Yes
I just wish they had any reasonable idea of what they are doing....
Depends what you define reasonable
Well you vent all your frustrations when the PTS come out
People like to scream at the wall when any change hits, no matter how major or minor.
Doesn't matter if it's a deserved nerf on an OP gun (Ouro) or a seemingly confusing one like MDR.
They took an sledgehammer to striker builds
Tale old as time
They clearly want to balance DPS builds with the nego umbra HB buffs and the striker nerf
hey claws out got a buff
backfire and eb got buffed which is great tbh
@rigid wedge Unless they're now actively awful, that's not really true is it.
There's more that goes into striker nerf with ceska, ouro and elmo nerf
ouro had it coming
oh gawd... backfire builds incoming 👴
Striker losing 15% isn't a big deal
the ksg buff is insane tho
i mean while range is being a big part of the things, you are not going to convince me so easily that i should slap a 50% optmimal range magazine on my AR
Idk we have yet to see but it might no longer be meta
or other builds will take the reigns
who made this chart
Exactly. "we have yet to see".
So instead of lying and stirring up anger in people, WAIT.
AA12 got buffed..
I think I'll be happy to not feel deadweight without Strikers
rip sledgehammer eh
An overworked and underpaid graphic designer
Now I can feel deadweight now 😭
idk if we have rules against nerd emoji but eh
a lot of these buffs are really questionable
Me too.
i wanna hope that they take the feedback and tune the numbers
but given what they did with tots thats just omega cope
i mean they made super 90 a big downgrade to six12 even more
My question is M1928 got buffed but Tommy Gun's damage is now LOWER?
100 extra ROF
it looks good at first glance and becomes progressively worse when you read it
All those buffs and nerfs means nothing to me until I try them in PTS tomorrow
i dont understand scorpio nerf
2 different dynamics,1 slow firing high damage and 1 lower damage high rof
Overall these changes seem pretty solid for the underpowered stuff, whist helping shift the meta away from the 1 (and variations) build everyone was playing before.
and a reminder: these are based on the Season with those specific Modifiers, so that does sound quite a lot like we're potentially getting more alterations the following Season, if they follow suit.
PVP only nerfs it looks like
PvP only nerf
multiply the damage and the rof for an idea of their dps
It's one of the top 3 weapons in the game, it's outrageously strong right now
Eh. Fair. The Tommy Gun is faster.
i mean i dont understand how its nerfed
I like my tommy gun
i mean, would you really say that the super 90 was better than six 12 ?
It needs an exotic dammit
It's not even really a "nerf" exactly, since that implies unfair and not just lowered power.
It's entirely justified.
"Oh George not the livestock."
Catharsis buff is interesting. That was so good already
buffed at the same time a new skin for it in store tinfoil hat moment
I'd say the super 90 is more fun to use, so I'll use that.
Same
They can take Super 90 from my cold, dead hands
Oh wow M249 from 550 RPM to 850
no offense but i was talking about stats, because i already use the super90 despite being worse, so i dont see this as being really fair
It's completely boring and nothing is really fun.
So Backfire's bonus crit got doubled and the counter needed to max it out got halved.
I smell my old weird build returning!
its cool to enjoy a weapon but when its strictly made to be inferior to another then thats just a very weird design choice
You can always leave the game
i use crappy weapons all the time
Riven's Weird Build Video when
same end result buff just twice as fast to build up
i have 5 chameleons in my stash
d50 nerfed a little
eh
Aces applying to rifle is gonna be fun
Other pistols needed the spotlight
magnum is other hand buffed
why did they nerf AK tho
I shared it once and got angry PM's.
ive never seen anyone use AK nor is it used in any top DPS setups
and man breaking point needs a looot more than just backpack buff
o h
my take is that they double the duration at base
10 seconds is really mid
Not every gun is going to be the absolute peak of strength. If every gun is the same, then there's no point in having 8 variations of everything.
which is another matter entirely but MSV can't remove them at this point, it's far too late.
might as well stack strikers with a shotgun and use your rifle
if they did, they dont appear to say it
you would unironically get more outta it
That's why golden bullet exists 🥚
if i wanna find out the new rpm number for oreo do i subtract 10.4% from my current value with strikers or do i subtract from base then add strikers buff
i get that but then you cant just make one weapon inferior to another in every possible way
yeah but they have 3 semi auto shotguns, and just nerfed them all and made the one that had more damage for slower reload to have lesser damage for slower reload
Seeing that the 45 ACP Vector now has 50 rounds with the extended mag and almost the same ROF of Ouro would porbably make it better at the end
If you say "inferior in every way" again I win $5.
ksg vs m870
Inferior in every way
Totally different shotgun types, yes?
i highly doubt 10% nerf is gonna bring the rof down to the high end vectors
🥜
okay, let's compare the g28 and model 700, they're both MMR's
It's losing what, ~160 ROF?
bigger mag,faster reload speed,higher base damage,higher range with exactly 5 less rpm
Still gonna be ~1440 ROF
if the m870 isn't inferior then idk what it is
no? both are the pump actions shotguns
Can I get a egg reaction
I haven't tried Golden Bullet and I've seen several people rave about it so far so I'll see if it's as fun as they say or not.
It is
This isn't reddit.
Okay so, these balancing changes are very weird to say the least
Aw man
i mean there are more good than bad
Ton more good than bad
Why did you remove the egg reaction
infact just to make it more balanced and fit your "same weapon type" criteria
SPAS vs m870
spas has 90k more base damage,3 more rounds,and 5m more range than m870
Aces can use rifles now so thats all the matters, nothing else, only aces
Yannick totally called this btw.
He said, "don't just read a few entries, go through the entire thing and look at it at alongside the modifiers"
I'd love to have table versions of those visuals to actually just calculate the new values of damage per mag and damage per minute
"why is this specific shotgun better than this one". Welcome to div2, we have shirts and jackets but can't separate them anymore because Kelso glued them all together for a prank.
yeah i'm reading the whole thing
I think modifiers are hard to quantify in text form since they're kinda nuanced. To me that's getting into the gameplay and feeling it out
its a first tasting sure but this does not look like a well thought out balance check
I will say tho, they somehow made even less interesting new gear
Kelso moment 
Exactly
It's also very important to note about Modifiers, than they don't exist in a vacuum.
The global ones are, well, modified by the passive ones, and the hostile ones are always active.
Ok, the new PTS is looking promising, looks like the devs are trying to turn div2 back to the roots of div1 some rifles being automatic, new special skill system. But idk, let's see how it will be.
Wait some rifles are automatic now???
Wait fr???
thing is, i really dont expect them change a lot of shotguns numbers for the next season just because of hte modifier
where did you see that?
As of TU22, the following Rifles and MMR's will become fully automatic:
Rifles:
ACR
UIC15
The Ravenous
M1A
Lightweight M4
LVOA-C
MDR
Resolute Mk47
Mk17
SIG 716
USC
MMR’s:
G28
Mk20
SVD
wait, which m1a
Please, please don't tell me LVOA and LWM4 are gonna be meta.
I don't wanna go through that hell again
Check the Trello board guys, it's all there.
YEAH BABY WOOOOO
doesn't give any more than that
Could be all variants?
okay so its almost certainly the cqb/socom then
Lvoa-c full auto lets gooooooo
Woah a fully atuomatic Ravenous? dayyyum
rare W
we are all going back to div1
Also full auto rifles is huge for Aces and Eights
my socom is finally going to get some love!
Bro they are trying to turn the mosquito into a new sledgehammer

wtf 3 part patch notes
Aggro mosquito users
LET THEM COOK
That's the new shield/pistol build
honestly not finding that at any of the links, which one has that?
Guys im pretty sure it doesn’t have the 850 rpm from d1
PTS download if you have the old thing: 19gb.
if you don't: 97gb.
brace your data-caps.
^
Project resolve 2 finally came
strikers nerf 
full auto M4 lightweight oooo
Seasons 2.0 one
and lvoac
But they still be Rifles I assume
ye
i swear that got updated after i read it
I envy pc users for getting to test drive these changes
As long its not meta
I'm guessing the kick on full auto rifles is gonna be insane no?
I don't wanna go through that hell I had in Div 1, ever again
That's what I was thinking
maybe breakpoint will be good then?
I'm in Australia, my download is going to be done about halfway through the 5x XP weekend.
ELMOS NERF !!!
I won this pts
oh right delayed reaction
tried an autoclick macro before and yea the kick is insane
but htey gave the base 1886 extra rounds in the magazine
its most likely not gonna be meta
but for the sake of nostalgia we're here
the king has returned
Wait, they're buffing bullet king again 👀
Well, yeah. But you know, Meta rules all. And if they're not meta, they're inherently garbage
Omega suppressors give +40% stability tho
they got like a what,~8% buff?
Yep
Where is the Rambo outfit for this game
thats a very interesting way to justify bad balancing but ok
i mean attachments overall got a heft buff
Well, I think these patch notes are good
YUPYUPYUPYUP
get a tank top and wear a heavy vest
Schrodinger's meta: everything needs to be better than everything else.
But nothing can be too good
Okay I'm confused...since when is the AKM a rifle with 400 RPM?
No clue
honestly I'm just skimmng through these patch notes and theres so much changed that I'm going to have no strong opinion on this until the update comes out because holy
probably an oversight
Probably replace since mil/bm akm is better
which other rifle starts with an A
Seems like Thorn is gonna be pretty damn good going forward huh?
Full auto lvoa came down from the heavens
ACR?
Drib if you're overwhelmed now, just remember that there's 2 phases of this PTS.
Acr ss
tbf its bait since they have 380rpm
🙂
I'm surprised they nerfed ouroboros just now. I guess it will be just a little more powerful vector than a high end version.
i mean
I don't care about div1 nostalgia so this means nothing to me
I mean, isn’t that its current max rpm?
looking at the changes - i might have to pull out my Heartbreaker/Striker/Ninja once again
i'm baffled with the G28 full auto
Surprised? That thing could kill The Rock in a movie starring The Rock.
Its not cuz the damage buffs the he vector can run now
when that weapon problem was struggling with being able to hit anything after the first shot
why did they nerf .308
Think so too....It was good with you Ouro haha
its like the weakest bolt action MMR
I don’t have div 1 nostalgia Im just obsessed with the lvoa as a gun
no redeeming quality whatsoever
Yeah oreo nerf
pains
@reef reef hey Aspect if you're awake. Backfire buff. We won.
wait what
I don't understand most of the nerfs and buffs. Just, why? I don't think there were any glaring issues, why fix it if it's not broken?
Hey at least now I need to find something new to use
Well when it's the smg to use regardless if the talent isn't great that's kinda an issue
Of course I'm surprised, when something is broken (either if it is a glitch or if it really meant to be overpowered) they take months to change.
glory to full highend 🫡
the entire mmr section is just a regression of what resolve did
SR-1 also had the shortest reign as MMR
why the .308 nerf
They’re buffing alot of underutilized stuff aswell
MSV do not quick react to anything. They are a slow, old old old company.
and we love them for it
also nerfing a bunch of random stuff
like its just an incredibly mixed bag
some of these buffs are brilliant and some others are just tone deaf
oh yeah just ot know i'm not crazy, did they touch determined at all?
Anyways this is a fantastic and very healthy update, this did everything Ive always wanted (except for the new gear being forgettable)
All patch notes are mixed bags
Like nerfing Grupo and Ceska? That shit has been fine for years
It should be noted that the nerfs are done via the stat people in-house. They know what people are using.
Famas looks like it will be crazy again since almost nothing changed for it
yea like how they know what they're doing when they "reworked" tots
they buffed the famas lmao
tots was expected honestly
Elmo has been perceived as OP for yonks now, of course it was going to get a tweak.
its still good though.
yea elmo nerf feels more like its targeted towards pvp
Even better haha
i think its good cuz its an easy access weapon the EB should be stronger than it for being a raid weapon
They buffed attachments a lot but a a lot of nerfs are questionable.
spec weapons hit like noodle
EB was a better gun in terms of dps tho
And now is even better!
also how is it that tots does not buff the draw speed of spec weapons
EB bout to become a menace
im pretty sure ppl said they were even after the resolve changes
and then they look at it and said "time to murder it"
Nah
need to double check if htey really didnt change sweet dreams
This is just better resolve
I feel like the only tots builds I saw were just another sniper build and you didnt even use the tac50 in any of them its supposed to be more focused toward the specs themselves rather than using it as a stepping stone
Also D50 got nerfed...
yeah it's insane
only ppl that use big horn are pvp players tho
I liked using bighorn in PVE.
The change to the attachment for Iron lung will make it even more beastly
No changes to the gun or talent
hello, PVE player here
well sweet dreams got buffed because spas got buffed, still the problem was the talent mostly

so where would yall rank the new fal among the exotic ARs?
needs hands to firmly say it
since htey just nerfed the FAL a bit
Does that mean Pest is gonna also be a meance or no?
its a problem with the spec weapons being awful that they also never touched on
to touch specs would mean touching speciazliations
is PTS tomorrow or saturday?
and i dont think we are getting that in couple of years at least
It's 805.. Pest it's 605..
That is the one LMG you chose that got nothing
Nope, they said just this stream that they are still looking into a spec rework. Might take a while but it's deinfitely on the way.
assuming something else doesnt derail developtment again
Bluescreen, Iron Lung and Bullet King all got buffs
The new gear set + the new FAL = OP mixup
re, spec rework: "the initial version wasn't strong enough, so we started over with that in mind".
like flamethrower is bad if its not GE season
HGL bad if its not GE season
minigun bad cuz strikers and also outdated
tac50 does not matter because of boss debuff and other snipers mobbing well enough
the crossbow is arguably the best spec weapon because it instantly breaks armor plates\
we'll wait to see then
didnt the M249 get a huge rof buff?
850 RPM yeah
850 is a lot for an LMG
Yeah
the whole six12 vs super90 stuff is still pissing me off really
Well see if they do any changed...this is all not final let's see if they listen to feedback
Sokolov got a debuf on crit chance
the chart is pissing me off tbh
the talent buffs n all seem good
The weapons nerf and buff only affects high-end or the exotics version as well?
the weapon balancing is just
apparently they will affect the exotic counterpart
chameleon randomly getting a nerf is WILD
because they nerfed vector
For anyone who hasn't seen it yet: #news-and-announcements message
Damn, I like the scorpio, it's damage (base weapon nerf) and talent are being nerfed
Not my boy vector 😭
scorpio nerf is justified
the base nerf is ehhhh
The good thing for me is that now I'm forced to play a different weapon and try something new so that's good actually
The new FAL and gearset looks delicious to mix
i was already using off meta things and they kinda got pooped on
you can probably just multiply the base damage with fire rate to crunch the dps
Every single time I read vector, my brain corrects it to Vectis, and I wonder how my sniper got in the smg slot.
.308 nerf💀
Yeah, I'm interested to use the exotic FAL and the new gear set
eido meta died get back to 2020
Vectis vectaris
Maybe yeah
It seems to pair well with nego
I paid for 6 forma, imma use the whole 6 forma!
Well see when it fully comes out how it's gonna stay I guess haha
I guess most people will be going with All Out for the active modifier, though I guess Prime Time might see utility in like Legendary or something
My biggest disappointment is Overlord receiving no changes and no hint of rework or deletion
at least its a ridiculously strong shotgun with a big mag now
ive never understood that aurgument, you dont have to be a meta player. After resolve i expertised 20 a bunch of random non meta things like the chamoleon
Deleting an Exotic seems like a bad idea
Yeah but the talent is useless
Even mosquito did receive a change 
true but thats just the MO now,nothing we can do other than cry about it
Reversal could probably be nice for those who prefer short range but wants buffs from long range modifiers or vice versa
still just looks like a raid weapon
I couldn't even figure out the talent
Well if it gets deleted I wouldn't miss it
when its just flat out bloat then honestly it seems like so
or reuse the model n rework the talent,thats also "deletion" of said talent from the game
It's an cool shotgun but that's about it
Ok
pvp people does anyone use overlord
I get ya....I was just lazy playing something new after playing the same builds...but this makes move my butt for once haha
i like how you would have 0 point in 80% of discussion and said ok
They nerfed sledgehammer, now only you receive the 30% DMG bonus. And they buffed mosquito for... No reason??
mosquito sucks it deserves a buff
tho idk the buff seems confusing
maybe some minmaxers will find a use
Because I'm not gonna agree on deleting an Exotic
Like the nerfs 👍🏻 game is too easy anyway lol

Receiving a buff by nerfing the other talent.
It has free perfect sledghammer when you shoot people
Thats the buff they gave it kinda
i see,though it seems finnicky to use tbh
will have to try it out
You just need to hit someone 5 times and it draws aggro and makes them take 40% armor damage
Basically they gave money to the poor, by stealing your wallet if you know what I mean 
wow the killer buff, dark winter gonna be crazy now
Hunter's fury + dark winter is gonna get spicy
Okay drama factory.
Any good announcements i missed out on?
Oh @timber hatch how does one calculate measured?
ranger is such a confusing talent im ngl
Cuz instead of wep dmg its now twd
Seasonal Characters are no more
like you get more range the farther you are from something
but you usually wont attack enemies at a range where it would become viable
Can I post a picture of the AR new chart?
I swear some of the comments on this server come across as an am-dram student trying for their first monologue.
Ravenous becoming fully automatic is NUTS

fun fact: if you do the song from mulan, the teacher can legally shoot you.
Calculate each half individually, then average those two
i kept asking in todays stream for a hold to fire setting, but atleast this is something
WHAT LOL
oh no
yeah would have been a sweet QOL balance thing but i guess it’s a compromise
Really??!
I see ty
Wait what?
What song from Mulan that makes an teacher pull out an F I R E A R M and shoots you
yeah a bunch of rifles are automatic now, even the m1a
imma do it
Yeah rav is full auto now
A selection of rifles have become automatic
The "i want more out of life" one, you know, that same song in every disney movie from before 2001.
replaced when Frozen changed it to "i want you to have less out of life"
Time to retire my eagle bearer if it's actually good
Okay I've clearly been awake for too long, y'all play nice now. And chill on the doom-speak for a bit, give it time to breathe.
they basically shoot full auto when you hold down the left mouse
there's a bunch of rifles on that list
Goodnight and Good luck.
essentially you can achieve the theoretical peak dps of a weapon without breaking your finger
never heard of it
I only heard Mulan because of Kingdom Hearts 2
That's going to be huge for console players since the Rav fire rate is buggy as hell
Looks like my SC and Ravenous one shot build is gonna wreck some players on DZ.
im so ready for umbra lvoac
xd
i'll make a man out of you was banger
lvoac going full auto is proof that the black tusk dismantled the ATF
So I deconstructed a god rolled LWM4 with strained yesterday for no reason 😐
Maybe the black tusk were the real good guys after all
sacrificial lamb
i knew hoarding was a good idea
Just get another xd
i really hope they reconsider the whole m870 thing
At least I have my all gold dps build with the m1a
it should be stronger than both ksg and spas imo
Nah we must let it happen
Rip
Let it become a canon event
Well more gearsets like true patriots, tips, rigger deserved a second look, and some other exotics like Sweet dreams
Ok I'll keep running paradise lost till I get another
That might be Keener like: hey agent, I got an automatic lvoac from the Brooklyn area of div1, it's all yours now.
he also cut the fire rate in half like the snake he is
but hey nice trinket ig
Fair enough, we have killed like 15 of his rogues already.
Is FAL still 20 base mag?
yknow what good point
yes
its 700rpm now with a slight damage nerf
Well, I guess the new exotic FAL looks enticing
59k at 650rpm vs 57k at 700rpm
thhe 40 round thing irks me but eh its alright
a cool antique rifle
There are worse things than 40 round mags
In this game so far, not many
Like a 20 mag vector
Specially for full auto weapons
I know, I was trolling:P
tbf its still 40 with an extended mag
and for the longest time it was one of the highest dps smg
Why have 40 when can have 53 with the other vectors.
i mean like i said
it was one of the highest burst dps smg before
the order originally was 9mm>45>tac
which is nonsensical why would a 9mm do more than 45 but whatever its fine
now its about to be tac>9mm>45
as of current patch its tac>45>9mm
is it a list of top to botto dps or which one got buffed/nerfed the most
I did damage per mag, damage per minute with the % change from old to new
i assume dps is just dpmin/60 right
Yeah
thanks man
I can add it next to it, give me a moment
Hope the keep the G36 at 800 rpm and just give it a bit more accuracy not back to 750.
And airaldi never got love and even now it gets slapped and nobody uses it cus habsburg wich is less easy to farm but still
Oh yeah the nerf to status effect was also weird in that brand first piece
tbf hasburg rng is kinda brutal
And what with those .33% and .5% numbers... like ceska 6,5% now you either gonna go over chc cap or below. Weapon mods are cool tho
its not gonna affect much tbh slap more chc mods on it
I mean most mods got buffed so that offsets things a bit
So the scoripo I may have misled people on
I know but i hate seeing 56,5% chc for example or knowing if put on mod im at 61,5% thus over..... my ocd is gonna kill me
It's PvE as well, I'm guessing
Shots to stack
Before:
1 - Poison (PVP Bleed)
3 - Disorient (PVP Disrupt)
6 - Shock (PVP Ensnare)
After:
3 - Poison (PVP Bleed) 🔴
6 - Disorient (PVP Disrupt) 🔴
9 - Shock (PVP Ensnare) 🔴
it's also pve related as well 💀
Was hoping to get a small dmg buff for the chameleon aswell but the lesser shots needed is nice
if we assume that the HE changes will affect their exotic counterpart then they just nerfed chameleon
the problem is that they keep throwing numbers when they can just rework recoil and handling or something
But most mmr's changes aint good imo and some shotguns need to be looked at again. And the scar (mk16) and ACR need to be more different. Acr got a nice buff before but now its same rpm as mk16 but lower dmg so made pointless. P416 change i like so might pull it outta stash.
if chameleon is even as accurate as mpx then its a monster
like no one is using AK or TKB because of how awful they actually perform despite having decent dps on paper
They really undersold during the stream the balancing changes
That bad?
Yea guns are already easy mode in handling in this game compared to TD1.give the hard hitting ones more recoil/kick so you mightwanna build in some handling on your build if needed
they gotta account for yannivk struggling at lincoln
yea
bad spread,high recoil,lack of attachments on the AK
the nail in the coffin is its incomparability with strikers
I don't use the AK, so I can't really care tbh
it doesn’t matter if they nerf striker or buff Ak(they nerfed it btw
)people will just not use them because they feel awful
Well, I'm built different, so I use whatever weapon I want no matter how awful they are
a good example of a decent low rpm AR would be the mk18
tho the damage is sorta not there they handle smoothly,high but controllable recoil and tight spread
And striker gearset was to be expected but i would like that the change the chest talent not 200 stacks but 2 stacks per hit and still capped at 100 max so you ramp up twice as fast and would make it more usefull overall outside incursions or legendary boss fights and can then be used anywhere
this is an aspect that for some reason they refuse to touch:make weapons feel better rather than just crunching numbers to see which one has more dps
maintaining striker stacks is barely a problem in most content
tho it might differ on console idk
you just switch between targets so fast the decay is not really a problem
you also stack them on robot dogs and enemy proxy like true son turrets and minitank anyway
Keeping +150 stacks aint easy in group (the either die to fast or are already dead) so running obliterate gives faster dmg and often more cus of the quick stacking
oh you mean the chest
yea the chest is just eh
tho in group legendary it is feasible idk
guys have you read y6s2 pts note yet?
yes
they are bringing back the old lightweight m4
Yea im talking about the chest that gives you 200 stacks from 100 base
not really
it's going back and forth between what people like and didnt like
Isn't rifles still single shot
50/50
most of them got reworked to be full auto now
Just no need to tap continuously? And you can hold down the button
personally theres a lot of good and a lot of bad everywhere
they are still their own category of weapons, just changed to full auto on the notes
they also keep the old rpm so its just like a QoL thing rather than a straight buff
I like the negotiators and OD buff. Umbra is nice aswell ut does sayingnot affecting pvp mean its different in DZ?
