td2-general-chat

[humble epoch]

when we will start get the other outfit of the event??

[spare cove]

Tomorrow

And it's a project chain

[dusk basin]

Hey just wondering is division 2 Worth playing again ,I haven't played it in months

[light steeple]

What’s that?

[tender quartz]

strange question to ask in a discord that only has active players, the answer is always going to be "YES" regardless of how dead the game actually is

[spare cove]

Basically daily projects that stack up together when not completed.

[light steeple]

Meaning we can’t get the whole outfit in a day? A piece per day?

[spare cove]

Yes, a piece by day.

Since the outfit is per piece and not a one piece uniform

[full zinc]

Run it on a regular mortar build and use the advanced material active modifier. The mortar kills will generate a lot of spec ammo drops and modifier with give you unlimited spec ammo while its active. Tots is a super dead set at this point

[elfin verge]

Hey just want to check, is discussion of the ban wave off limits here?

[fluid meadow]

Omg i need to check my account

[dusk jackal]

They kept trying to burn me so imma give them a taste of their own medicine

Also turns out that outcast exotic LMG works well with the Zealot modifier

[echo cloud]

its not th e worst idea, but im really not that into mortar build.

like yellow based dps buils are not my cup of tea

you mean artillery turret right?

[remote pecan]

You can just wait one more week and do it all in one day.

[valid light]

Avoid exploits like the plague and still get banned wth ubi???

[barren lynx]

Hey guys,is there someone who want to play? Lvl223, I'll help with mision or anything you need help with 🙂

[kind veldt]

better try the #lfg-pc

[full zinc]

yeah, but explosive kills in general can work, mortar is just the strongest of them

[barren lynx]

Oh okay sorry

[full zinc]

and tbf, tots isnt gonna be doing much in comparison if really wanting to have grenade launcher be a focus

[echo cloud]

yeah ur right. i tried the skill too now, didnt realize it lasts a whole minute.. thats amazing. thats actually playable

[blissful sable]

It gets even better when fully leveled up

[echo cloud]

far as i know there is nothing to scale up the damage of the grenade signature weapon other than explosive dmg. so may aswell go full tank lol

[kind veldt]

mortar is stupidly strong, it's just tricky so most people dont give it a good shot

[echo cloud]

yea ive used it before

[full zinc]

look up my Mortar Supremacy build.
https://docs.google.com/document/d/19mY6aOHO0R6BIq7nDFNTk2bducYQkpwsQJNDQhnekAI/edit?usp=drive_link

i main this a lot

[blissful sable]

Advanced Material is how I wish they would buff Tip of the Spear

[full zinc]

that would be sick, ngl

[kind veldt]

specializations just have so much work needed

[blissful sable]

They do and the "rework" keeps being put off. 🙁

Advanced Material + Gunner + Striker is devastating. Mobs of NPC's just die in lego.

[echo cloud]

how long will we be able to keep this special skill? advanced material

[blissful sable]

Till the end of the season.

[echo cloud]

and followup... what does the flamethrower scale off of?

[kind veldt]

WD

it does give a hella of high burn damage as status effect

[echo cloud]

surely a flamethrower build could be made with this

red eclipse :P

[kind veldt]

flemethrower is a bit of fire and forget

[native spire]

Is there anything that's a must have locked behind the new dlc?

[kind veldt]

set an enemy on fire then move on

[blissful sable]

Extra stash space

[kind veldt]

nah, a couple of cosmedics, one skill with two variations, one named AR and one exotic mask

they are all ok at best

[native spire]

guess its a skip for now then. uwu

[echo cloud]

so the flamethrower spec. weapon. the direct damage scales of weapon damage? and the burn? status effects? or both?

[gaunt trout]

signature weapon scale to weapon dmg and amps such as glass cannone or dtooc

it follows the same rules as grenade

source: about god knows how hours running into the wall of trial and error with my chungus build.

[spare cove]

Okay, my account didn't get banned. Thank goodness

[novel laurel]

I'm safe too, surprised they didn't catch me 🥷

[gaunt trout]

Ima be real if your worried about a ban, or think your even kinda on a list, you should revaluate your gaming habits.

[keen blaze]

Is there a way or place to appeal a TD2 perma-ban??? My PC account of 1500+ hours was just banned and I have no earthly idea why??? I don't use any mods or cheats and I barely say more than "ggs" on the average in chat

[novel laurel]

Bunch of false bans atm

GCRock got banned, and he's already gotten unbanned

[tawdry ledge]

Had the same thing happened to me but Ubisoft said they won't be giving me it back.

[gaunt trout]

who was banned that has never used an exploit.. like kennely

[unique summit]

streamer privilege

[spare cove]

I just wanna make sure that I didn't get falsely banned since that ban wave affected normal people.

[keen blaze]

Can you help me understand??? This would REALLY suck for me. I would loose YEARS of dedicated effort to this game...

[unique summit]

never once did the kennely exploit or any exploit and i got banned

[novel laurel]

The bans say it's for third party software so not sure what you mean

[gaunt trout]

thanks.

[novel laurel]

I'd make a ticket on the Ubisoft website or discord and be patient I'm sure it'll get sorted

[tawdry ledge]

I'm gonna guess it's probably related to remotes like PlayStation and such because that's the only thing I can think of

[gaunt trout]

I dont pay attention to ban waves so was curious why it been taken on word for false ban

[static lake]

Yappatron

[novel laurel]

All good!

[keen blaze]

The only 3rd party software I use is AMD Adrenaline i.e. driver settings.

[novel laurel]

There's no way to tell atm

[novel laurel]

Yea same with GCRock he went through all his programs on stream

[dry gate]

good job Ubi.. just when the game was picking up.. you go and do this.. awesome.. people who have been playing since start who never used anything but streamlabs to stream the game.. got banned.. what a mess. I know people who haven't played in months and got banned. So bad.

what a huge damage to the game.. holy moly

[novel laurel]

I'm sure you'll get a fat compensation cache

That's what happened when they accidentally rolled back expertise

[keen blaze]

Unless NordVPN or Steam is bannable. Okay I need to figure out how to create a ticket on Ubisoft. Something is definitely wrong here.

[novel laurel]

Doubt it, but there's no list of programs that are bannable or allowed

[tawdry ledge]

Dude I don't know right now because they just told me I was banned for "Aimbot" even though I don't even touch PVP or DZ with a stick due to the insane amount of cheaters. I guess me and my sister won't be playing the game anymore because this is dumb

[spare cove]

Make a ticket to Ubisoft support site, then

[tawdry ledge]

I have

That's what support is saying to me

[dry gate]

Danny man.. we were all in the community excited every monday to run speed run missions and he gets banned.. kind of makes me want to stop playing the game honestly. Such a suck day for the game. I'm not against fixing the cheating problem but you don't do it like this.

[novel laurel]

He's gonna get unbanned

[dry gate]

hopefully

[novel laurel]

Out of all people the nicest dude gets banned lol

[unique summit]

so us nice people got banned. does that mean you guys who didn't get banned are not nice?

[spare cove]

I doubt there's a lot of nice people in the Division community

[unique summit]

that's not a very nice thing to say! let me guess: you didn't get banned

[tawdry ledge]

A small amount

[dry gate]

console players are getting banned too.. they are apparently not nice either 🙂

[novel laurel]

I didn't get banned so yes

[tawdry ledge]

It's like oprah "you get a ban, you get a ban"

[dry gate]

I didn't get banned and I'm kind of upset about it.. that not nice part of me I guess 🙂

[novel laurel]

I'm gonna miss out on that cache full of exotic comps now!

[spare cove]

My least favorite parts of banwaves is the panic and conspiracy theories

[dry gate]

I mean I've started playing 6 months ago.. and I've seen people who cheat, who might cheat, and I've made a lot of friends in this community.. and the people I am 10000% sure never wanted anything to do with cheating get banned.. They wouldn't even farm or do stuff that most of us actually did.. I'm like yo, if you wanted to destroy your game this might be the way to do I it I guess.

[unique summit]

if they decide to uphold my ban for some insane reason, it is what it is. it makes really sad given the amount of hours i put into this account. i'll move on.

but honestly i feel really bad for the people that play these games to unwind as a break from the stress of their lives. when i was younger that's why i played these games. to take something like that away from someone who needs it is beyond cold imo.

[dry gate]

Purple you ain't gonna get a response about the bans I'll tell you that much.. go through proper channels is my advice.

[unique summit]

nah i did, support responded already but i think it was automated. i had to turn on 2 factor auth which i didn't have for some reason.

i'm just yapping here b/c this is my division 2 time and i can't play lol

[tawdry ledge]

Well they have done that to me. I'm not getting my ban unlifted. I'm guessing it's related to remotes because I don't understand how otherwise. I'm thinking the aim assist related to a remote the game is picking up as an aimbot. I don't know, I'm just guessing

[rough sleet]

just keep at it, I had similar happen with GTAV, got banned and character wiped....took me a week or two fo constant nagging and they finally undid the ban and restored character cause it was an automatic thing and falsely banned a bunch of folks....

ticket to support, be patient but make sure to stay consistent and reaching out if not getting response

[dry gate]

first advice I would give them use a different anti-cheat.. cause the one you are using now is a**

[kind veldt]

never liked EAC

[blissful sable]

It is strange that there would be a wave like this and no announcement

[unique summit]

they posted on twitter i thought?

[rough sleet]

they made an announcement after it happened, no point saying anything prior to

[molten bramble]

https://x.com/TheDivisionGame/status/1982832158331777034

[kind veldt]

think they might have meant in game

think the last couples had in game mention of sanctions

[bright igloo]

Jumping on to the chat to mention I've also been banned. From the X post it suggests third party software, but I have no cheat software in my machine.

[tawdry ledge]

Ain't they also supposed to give us like a 15 day ban before permanent

[unique summit]

yep they just denied my appeal. rip me.

[kind veldt]

anyhow, wait for more official info, i'm not sure what is going on

[unique summit]

nice knowing you guys. it's been fun.

[blissful sable]

Yeah usually there is a whole announcement phase warning people to stop before they conduct a wave like this.

[dry gate]

this was a bad rollout.. they will have to do something for sure.

[rough sleet]

keep at it, don't give up that easily....I swear mate, keep at it

[spare cove]

Get persistent

[tawdry ledge]

What was the reason they gave?

[unique summit]

they didn't give a reason. just code of conduct breach.

and the response came really fast too. felt automated tbh.

[echo cloud]

someone let me know if they find a better variant for perma flamethrower combo than with eclipse

[unique summit]

even if i said something mean to someone (which i absolutely did not)... the kind of thing you'd have to say for a permaban like this is beyond my ability to do to another person. but the whole process is so cloaked that if you're screwed you're screwed.

[tawdry ledge]

I asked and they gave me a reason and my account on PlayStation just got banned also. So no more division for me anymore

[warm quartz]

So I just logged in the find out that I have been banned for no reason. I play solo and have never done any glitching or bugs etc. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

[lunar hare]

why do I feel like the ban wave was done by AI?

[elder marsh]

so it was not just me huh

a bunch o people got banned for no reason

[snow spindle]

I got an email that i got banned for using any "macros"?! Besides I never used anything fishy I woulodnt even know for what I need any macros in Div2?! I already contacted support (email says its a 14 days ban) but the thing is: I havent even played this game for a while. If this ban doesnt get lifted I will never buy anything from Ubisoft again. I spend so much money on all the skins and stuff...this is insane!

[elder marsh]

how they will gonna revert this? bcuz i send a ticket and they said to me that my account have nothing suspicious but cant revert my ban. What now?

[tawdry ledge]

They probably won't. Just shot themselves in the foot, I'm kinda curious how many people got banned because there isn't a Large player base

[dry gate]

wow NGN got banned too.. what a mess

[tawdry ledge]

NGN what

[elder marsh]

man what a pathetic company ngl

[naive kettle]

Yeah, a few popular streamers got banned. RIP Ubisoft

[civic lion]

Ubisoft is mid.

[tawdry ledge]

Me too bud way too much money. Right now they are saying they aren't going to revert my ban which is just annoying

[valid light]

I have spent thousands of hours in this game and spent a lot of money on bundles and still got hit by the ban.. this is so unfair for us legit players

[spare cove]

How did you guys know NGN got banned?

[dry gate]

he literally just told me

[spare cove]

On DM, I presume.

[tawdry ledge]

They are speed running how to kill a community eh

[spare cove]

I just hope they reverse the false bans, so this channel can calm down for a change

And yet, the game didn't die just because a few exploits

[remote pecan]

I mean they already unbanned GCROCK, but for us normal people it probably takes more time to get through support.

[elder marsh]

also its curious you say this bcuz GCROCK got banned in live and his ban was reverted in less than 15 minutes

[dry gate]

the huge damage is already done

[tawdry ledge]

Streamer privileges

[spare cove]

You talk about this like its the point of no return

[south topaz]

he had contact of devs so directly msged him

[dry gate]

well yes.. for a game like Division 2.. yes..

[elder marsh]

so his ban can be reverted and our dont, pretty cool 😄

[tawdry ledge]

Basically I guess

[spare cove]

I think you may be spiraling a bit there, mate.

If the devs fixing the exploits that caused them controversy on Twitter didn't kill Div 2, this won't

[tawdry ledge]

Us peasants aren't allowed fun but the rich folks are

[snow spindle]

if only the bans of streamers get reverted then the streamers can play with themselves

[dry gate]

no I just work in the industry and I know consequences of f-up like this.. players will simply stop playing

[spare cove]

I'm sure you are.

And Division 2 will suddenly shut down tomorrow.

[dry gate]

okay buddy.. you know best everything .. it's all good

[tawdry ledge]

A lot of people will stop playing just due to the fact they can't get their account back or the fear of getting banned again

[bright igloo]

We are currently navigating the issue and trying to get unbanned mate. Respectfully, no one is here to argue with you.

[remote pecan]

It probably scares people now that they unintentional do something wrong, but atm we don't know what's going on.

[elder marsh]

i have a friend who was banned of the division for playing Rainbow Six, he doenst even play R6

[spare cove]

Actually, this isn't worth arguing. I'll just be away from this channel till things calm down.

[elder marsh]

people will be punished for this stupid company mistake

[tawdry ledge]

Peak Ubisoft moment

[dry gate]

it's not even that.. it's just what happens when people who been playing the game in a looter shooter like this lose their account.. they'll just move on.. they won't keep playing.. it's a huge damage to the player base.. I've seen it so many times.. it's one of those things you have to be VERY careful about as a dev. And this roll-out was not done well.

[echo cloud]

the beauty of random matchmaking.. went to tidal basin.. group is 2 eclipse builds, 1 droner, and 1 healer.. lol

[south topaz]

cz everyone else is banned xD

[spare cove]

Seriously?

[dry gate]

I worked on some outriders stuff.. When people lost accounts they were gone.. the game never recovered.

[tawdry ledge]

I wonder how many people are gone like 25% or more of the player base

[remote pecan]

I think the devs will see something went wrong and revert the ban for most of the players. It's an hour or less since it happened, a lot probably don't have even recognized that they're banned.
It doesn't look good atm I'll give you that.

[tender quartz]

playing rainbow 6? banned
not playing rainbow 6? It's free now why are you not playing it? believe it or not, also banned.

[dry gate]

if I was them.. a revert would be the wisest choice. Until they actually do this right.

[bright igloo]

Would be great to see numbers :/ to understand how big this is. Don't think they'll release them though.

[tawdry ledge]

That involves Brain usage though

[spare cove]

I remember the whole controversy over Baker's Dozen exploit back in 2020, and some people talked like fixing that exploit is gonna kill the game

So, with all due respect, I'm not convinced with your assessment

Reversing the false bans is gonna happen. Mark my words.

We just need to wait.

[dusk jackal]

Man I wish the kelso outfit can come back

[tawdry ledge]

True. But ah well. It's also fun when the support changes the reason for your ban. At least the ban stopped me from spending money on the season pass. Saved me like 19$ or whatever

[spare cove]

And last year, we had the Sesonal Characters controversy.

Give it some time, they reverse the false bans, and we'll forget about that within 2 weeks.

[elder marsh]

and when this happens people will come back begging on your knees for more chinese division skins

[spare cove]

Yeah. There's some nice QoL stuff over there like being able to switch specializations by equipping a signature weapon.

But like, dude, have some restraint.

[rough sleet]

wait, were we supposed to have stopped asking for dinosaur skins?

[elder marsh]

i bet one penny that they banned everyone except cheaters 😂

[tawdry ledge]

I'll raise 2 pennies

[spare cove]

Apparently. But then again, there is this thing called art style consistency, where people get pissed when they see skins that don't fit the world of the Division in their eyes.

I'll raise 100 dollars and say that they did ban the cheaters, but the system got haywire, which added false bans.

[rough sleet]

we got force fields now (well we technically had em from the start but still), art style my hiney....

[valid light]

Sometimes when I feel lazy I plug in my controller and play, could that be why I was flagged and banned?..

[spare cove]

Or as some people on social media call it, the fortnite-fication of art styles.

[rough sleet]

I'd pay to see someone on stream get taken out by a guy dressed as a dinosaur who just bum rushed people in the DZ going "rawr" as he kills them....lol

[tawdry ledge]

I think that's what got me. My controller

[rough sleet]

I'd be on the ground crying laughing if I was taken out by a dinosaur. XD

[spare cove]

I never once used a controller, while playing Division 2

[thin oasis]

GCRock is an enormous community core for Division 2, of course they got unbanned

[spare cove]

Too used to mouse and keyboard

[brave musk]

They should really add a matchmaking option for Retaliation!

[tawdry ledge]

I came from PlayStation to PC. So I wanted to continue using something I'm used too

[blazing citrus]

people that can make enough noise over false bans generally get unbanned quick

[lean shadow]

They should do their homework daily...and ban constantly.
There Is no single game where ban waves bring somethin good. There Will Always be someone cought by mistake sadly

Bad move imho

[spare cove]

If this last years of video game discourse taught me anything, is that making online video games are not worth it.

[tawdry ledge]

I know it won't happen but an offline mode for the first game would be fire.

[spare cove]

Anyway, it's getting late and I should be in bed.

Good night!

[rough sleet]

still expecting first game to be shut down shortly after survivors is released

[spare cove]

Nah, I think there's some people who are too fond of Division 1 that they keep playing it to this day.

[wraith coyote]

what does cronus exactly mean cus i keep hearing but i have no clue? its for consoles ive heard

[dusk jackal]

Do you guys think we’d be able to go rogue in survivors?

[rough sleet]

well I'm just thinking they're trying to recreate survival in a new format, hope to appease the masses, and shut down old servers....still gonna upset people, and some people will always prefer old survival mode for sure

survival is great, but I might be getting offtopic for this channel. OOF

[tawdry ledge]

I actually can't wait for the new survival thing but as it seems I might never be able to play it

[spare cove]

Cronus Zen is an adapter device that cheaters use in shooter games to make weapons shoot fast and with zero recoil, among other things.

[sterile cedar]

I’m sure it’ll have a pvpve option

[real skiff]

wth is happening

ppl are getting ban left and right

[jagged prism]

it'll have a pve and pvp option for the game

[sterile cedar]

For sure

[humble cargo]

unless its nothing like Survival was except extracting surviving npc's.

[jagged prism]

AKA, you choose pve and start playing it

[sterile cedar]

I remember when Survival launched originally you could shoot other players out when they were just downed in the PVE mode. It was so dirty lol

[dry gate]

I hope they have PvE only.. I dislike the whole PvP in Division in general..

[real skiff]

pvp is just cancer

[molten bramble]

permaban lifted after ticket

[rough sleet]

popping flammable barrels near players in pve cause they looted the dresser you were heading to, lol

[sterile cedar]

Yes that too haha

Or let another player agro a crash site and loot while they are fighting

[rough sleet]

i used to love kiting cleaners towards players as they tried swiping gear while I was clearing a landmark....so I'd follow them, and pop a sniper round at enemies in front of them. XD

[sterile cedar]

And of course run through an active extraction to pop another hunter

[rough sleet]

haha

[umbral dock]

wonder if the sheer volume of named item drops in a short time is getting people flagged

[rough sleet]

the friendships and enemies gained in survival lasted, lol. I remember reviving the same random unknown player like 6 times through a match (never running with them) but would run blocks away to save their butt after seeing them downed. only to extract with said person at end of match, like "dude, you're still alive, NOICE"

[jagged prism]

they did say there'll be a pve option in it
Btw: welcome back

[prime pagoda]

Anyone want to run Houndsman bounties real quick?

[kind veldt]

Better try in game or at #lfg-xbox

[prime pagoda]

I tried in game but Xbox thinks I want to join game pass for some reason

LFG is better though thanks

[jagged prism]

you do have a game pass for your console correct?

[valid sable]

do you get an email if you're banned right? I'm so good that I don't want them to think im cheating

[jagged prism]

you would think they would do that

[prime pagoda]

No, is that the only way to play with people now?! Or has that been a thing for a minute now. I’ve been on gamepass for so long but got off cause of all the bullshit within the last month.

[wind lodge]

i just got my acount back !!!!

[jagged prism]

from my understanding. you can play games without it but you won't be able to play with other players without it

[prime pagoda]

Damn, is that a new policy or been around for ages?

[frozen relic]

I’m pretty sure it’s that except free online games like Fortnite and such

[jagged prism]

i've been an exclusive pc player for years. i just vaguely remember players discussing this

[frozen relic]

It’s been around for awhile

[prime pagoda]

I really don’t pay attention sometimes 🤦🏼‍♂️

[jagged prism]

think they questioned why they can't matchmake or join with their friends or something
someone else with the gamepass mentioned this exact thing about you can play games without it but you also won't be able to play with other players or something

[chilly bolt]

Hi, I'd like to ask if I can still receive liquidation for "Psar" after October 28th?

[spare cove]

Psar?

[jagged prism]

yeah, threw me off as well. like liquidation and psar

[chilly bolt]

Houndsman*

https://trello.com/c/oQXukpjU
don't see anything about the houndsman going away on the 28th, think the only thing is you won't be able to get the houndsman outfit pieces anymore aside just the mask

and the caches for the houndsman outfit turn into some other cache or something like that?

[dark matrix]

likely they will just change the dropped contents

[snow spindle]

lol, my temp ban got not lifted, cause it is an automated system and therefore they are not able to unlift my ban. And besides that, they cannot tell me what I did wrong...this is insane.

[jagged prism]

nods whatever will be in the halloween 25 caches where you get the quickstep, bat vfx, houndsman mask and then whatever else they throw in it just no the other houndsman outfit cosmetic pieces

[spare cove]

https://x.com/TheDivisionGame/status/1982891215986327702?t=TeI2smz3JIhM7FncEDOGeA&s=19

[jagged prism]

nice nice

[wind lodge]

mine was lifted after 3 hours

[valid light]

Still banned....

[snow spindle]

I only got an answer that temp bans are performed by an automated system so they cannot lift them. I already answered to that X post. I never did something wrong, I played this game on PS5 and PC, bought ALL skins on PS5, on PC nearly all...I am really frustrated now, cause even if I would have to wait these 14 days who will tell me not to get banned again when I don't know what I did wrong. First mail said something about using macros which makes no sense. For what do you need macros in a shooter, I just don#t get it.

[kind veldt]

sometimes people use it to bypass firerate restriction on some weapons among other stuff, of course not saying you did anything to break the rules

[velvet berry]

Got unbanned just 5mnit ago,,back on business

[south topaz]

Absolute cinema

[snow spindle]

I thought this was just possible with something like Cronus? Anyway I didn't do anything wrong at all and that I have to go through something like this makes me just sad and depressed.

[kind veldt]

once again not saying you done it, but the world is vast and sadly so are the ways people find to do stuff they shouldnt, if anything the comment above about someone just got unbanned should mean that you if did nothing then just keeping in contact with support should be enough

[snow spindle]

Yeah I am, case is open again, but just feel helpless.

[jagged prism]

most gaming mouses comes with a software that has macroing built in for instance razer and steelseries both i've had before had this in their driver software program

[snow spindle]

I have installed the Razer Software cause I am using a Razer mouse and keyboard, but come on..thats the functionality software. Can't get banned because of using the officially driver software?! Thats ridiculous.

Funny thing besides that: i play the game with my XBox Controller, cause I am used to play this game with controller from my PS5 (and before PS4). I only use my keyboard and mouse when it comes to clean my inventory/bank

[jagged prism]

i'm just saying most gaming mouse software have macroing built in their software

[unique summit]

i was also unbanned just now it seems

[snow spindle]

did u have a perma ban or a temp ban?

[hoary juniper]

I just got a ban? did anyone else?

[jagged prism]

#td2-general-chat message

[unique summit]

it was a perma ban. that support system they have is the most dystopian crap ever.

[hoary juniper]

It says it was resolved but I tried to log in and I"m permanent ban?

[jagged prism]

just pointed you to a message from x from the division team and innocent people are getting banned from their auto sanction ban

[kind veldt]

it's slowly unbanning people

both the ban and unban are not being all in one

[hoary juniper]

I have so many cosmetics and just did the Legendary Zoo mission yesterday during redline. Lmao the chances of it haah

[iron adder]

if you don't log in you are both banned and unbanned at the same time

Schrodinger's ban

[jagged prism]

i logged in to check my account. got in just fine but i imagine next time it won't just go through as well though

[snow spindle]

LoL, now the support wrote me that there wouldn't be a ban on my account. I try to log in again and we will see...this is getting funny

[bright igloo]

Hello. Update: i've been unbanned

[snow spindle]

Update: I can log in again 😄

Maybe its just a PR Show so ppl finally log in again 😄

[unique summit]

It was all a trick for me to give them my phone number.

You won this round Ubisoft.

[hoary juniper]

Do I need to put in an appeal?

[snow spindle]

I did

[jagged prism]

soonTM you'll be getting Texts "buy this!" (> <)

[unique summit]

Try logging in now. I think the unbans are rolling out in an automated way.

[dense mica]

What's new, anything

[mellow girder]

It’s funny because if your Australian and wrongfully banned and they arent willing to unban we take it up with consumer law and either get unbanned or get a full refund for every penny that’s inaccessible

[dense mica]

People are getting Banned

[mellow girder]

Unbans happening to wrongful bans, slowly

[dense mica]

Ubisoft got new Anti Cheat

[jagged prism]

that too probably. all them people previously banned probably getting unbanned

[mellow girder]

Yeah it’s a flawed system

It means ubi has no clue what’s running along side easy anti shit and can’t tell apart a discord overlay from cheats essentially

[dense mica]

The accounts that were banned are cheating

[keen blaze]

My account was banned. My ban was lifted once I agreed to enable 2-factor authentication.

[mellow girder]

I don’t think they have a new anti cheat, they are pushing the in game report button alot

[dense mica]

Ubisoft has a new system in place 2FA

[mellow girder]

Which in past has been almost useless

[mellow girder]

New is also wrong 2FA has been on ubi for along time

[keen blaze]

I understand. When I was first asked it seemed optional. I was later banned. I then enabled 2FA. I was later unbanned. I would rather they just say it's not optional.

[dense mica]

Im not PC

[loud plank]

Are you hating just to hate?

[hoary juniper]

Is it really the discord overlay?

[smoky pawn]

Anyone on console actually get banned

[loud plank]

everything is flawed bro nothing is perfect

[dense mica]

Right I got you. Thanks for clearing it up

[smoky pawn]

Only pc from what I’ve heard

[dense mica]

I havent logged in to Division 2 since I completed Brooklyn

[smoky pawn]

I haven’t logged into pc for 6 months, got the ban hammer

Been unbanned since

[mellow girder]

No it was just an example of ubi not being able to tell the difference between something completely harmless to a cheat

[dense mica]

Cronus users in Dark Zone

[dapper goblet]

How long does it take to reset the servers?

[blazing citrus]

check the events timeline. "Hunt mini warhounds in the open world to recieve the Houndsman bounty and face him. between oct 21st and oct 28th, you will be able to..."

[dense mica]

As long as it takes

[mellow girder]

Usually 3 hour downtime sometimes more sometimes less

[jagged prism]

what i listed is from Patch-Notes concerning the houndsman and in that they didn't say on the 28th he'll disappear, but the caches with the houndsman outfit pieces will cease to drop aside just the mask

[jagged prism]

if you're seeing that message it might just be a visual glitch that sometimes hits people randomly

[jagged prism]

🍿 anyone over the banning event?

[wraith locust]

What about it?

[jagged prism]

phew, 2nd account is ok to log in

not sure how long ago i logged in that account, probably months ago AKA running manhunt objectives and logging off of it 😹

[lunar hare]

Coronel, he's evading!

[hoary juniper]

Does Division 2 genuinly have people who cheat in it? I find that kind of sad

[mellow girder]

Only kind of sad?

[fathom maple]

In open world is not a problem, the problem is on the dz

[mellow girder]

Everywhere is an issue homie, can’t justify cheating

[jagged prism]

pretty much all competitive games have cheaters in it and they manage to elude the ban hammer for a long time
one of the reasons i don't pvp because for awhile i saw a weekly video of "undectected div 2 hack" from one account

[fathom maple]

Nah Bro, enter a mission and see someone doing shenanigans is the best, i just sit and watch

[jagged prism]

but it's still classified as cheating

[fathom maple]

Yep, but i can chill meanwhile the cheater kill everything

[dense anchor]

What a take.

[mellow girder]

Honestly you can beat aimbot though

[fathom maple]

And the anti cheat well, i dont even think it exist, the dz is full of everything

[mellow girder]

System proc lets you out tank them it’s sooo funny

Yeah but a lot of people in the DZ get accused of cheating, when they aren’t, I don’t call anyone a cheater until I’ve seen definitive proof

[zinc ember]

Is the division 2 hard? I remember playing the first one years ago and I felt like I was underpowered just about everywhere I went. Because it took forever to down enemies. I'm used to 2-3 shots then dead.

[kind veldt]

in general ttk for both player and enemy is lowered in div2, so cover matters a lot more

[jagged prism]

nods they learned we didn't like bullet sponges in div 1, so div 2 they didn't make them so spongey

[fathom maple]

Striker and few things to survive and u r good, easy walk

[kind veldt]

in harder difficulties you do need a good build but it's possible to make one shot snipers builds, or LMGs that melt enemy crowds

[zinc ember]

Well that sounds promising. I'm downloading the demo now. I hope it's enough to let me know if I like it or not because if I do I'll probably go with the ultimate edition which is only 34.99

[fathom maple]

Sadly the campaign dont show much

[mellow girder]

Honestly, while it’s on sale the game is worth the buy

[dreamy skiff]

🤣

[jagged prism]

btw: only thing i evaded with my 2nd account is needing another player to get that stinger outfit from the referral program. one of the best things about owning multiple pcs (> <)

[hoary juniper]

Yeah, how could I make it through Manning Zoo on Legendary without cheating? 😒

[zinc ember]

Oh I never liked snipers. Haha. My playstyle is different depending on the game like in Last of us part 2 I enjoyed stun bombing and running in for a melee kill. Haha

[fathom maple]

U will fight higher levels and u no elites at all so u cant test if the enemies r sponges

[iron adder]

solo or group?

[jagged prism]

how you doing @dreamy skiff ?

[dreamy skiff]

Yeah alright, still banned lol

[mellow girder]

Just get unbanned

[kind veldt]

well it was just an example, there is a very close range high risk high reward shotgun builds

[lunar hare]

stop flexing your multiple pc's to an xbox player smh... 😔

[zinc ember]

I feel like I should like this game since it is a 3rd person shooter. I never could get into fps.

[jagged prism]

is there any lore with the houndsman hunter?

[fathom maple]

Thats what u get for checking Keener's secret plans🥶

[hoary juniper]

A group lmao, I did it during the redline event, which made it not bad, except the last two guys.

[dense anchor]

Mini warhound skill when.

[fathom maple]

In what ik he prob use some special tech with the warhounds to see (bc his mask dont have eye holes)

[jagged prism]

doesn't xbox have a handheld console?

[echo cloud]

i forget.. can the gunner signature weapon crit?

[kind veldt]

minigun yeah

[zinc ember]

What if I wanted to use a pistol short ranged? I mean I'm sure the demo will probably allow me to see all this for myself. I never use shotguns on any game. I hate how redicilously close I have to be and by that point I just melee. 😂

[jagged prism]

FYI: NGN is the lore guy. check out his videos in youtube if you want div 1 and 2 lore info

[iron adder]

ah the last two bosses have 1 billion health each. The trick is to shoot between the armor plates to bypass that.

[lunar hare]

steamdeck X xbox?

[kind veldt]

most of the high variety of brands and items are at the endgame

[jagged prism]

that works too

[kind veldt]

we just got a full auto pistol this season, so a pistol focused builds is very possible

[fathom maple]

We need a pistol focused gear set

[dense anchor]

HHF Regulus. 😌

[jagged prism]

nodsi need to perfect my Striker Tempest pistol build. felt lackluster

[hoary juniper]

I didn't know what. Would have been nice to know at the time. I was dumping mag after mag

[kind veldt]

just slap the old dodge city holster as a set

[lunar hare]

I would 100% pick a gaming laptop for the same price instead ngl

[echo cloud]

back in my day, foundry liberty was the only real pistol build

[kind veldt]

if foundry was available then regulus was better

[echo cloud]

unkillable and also does no dmg. kek

[lunar hare]

like imagine being able to play with da goats of pc

[gaunt trout]

when did montreal become aussie soil?

isnt it like canada

[jagged prism]

whatever floats your boat

[mellow girder]

Yeah but under Australian consumer law if a service is no longer available to us, being wrongfully denied service, we are able to get a complete refund

[lunar hare]

I might be able to buy one nyehehehe

[gaunt trout]

liberty absolutly does dmg -_-

[echo cloud]

Advanced materiel... just proves there would be nothing wrong with making signature weapons permanent. even lootable and equippable variations with perks and what not. let us go main signature weapon if we want

[gaunt trout]

it has 60% Wdmg bonus

[jagged prism]

took me a bit, but i finally got my 2nd machine to play div 2 on linux. had to download a linux software to do so though

[mellow girder]

Imminence arms?

He ment a green set mbmb

[jagged prism]

no i think they mean the green/blue gearset that's focused on pistol

blue = AKA blind mode in game

[fathom maple]

We need one ngl, not funny to use striker with Dodge city all the time

[zinc ember]

How long is the demo in this game? Will I be able to determine if I like the game?

[jagged prism]

think you can get to level 20 from the demo and you won't be able to do match making

[mellow girder]

Do you like 3rd person shooters?

[jagged prism]

but i believe you can play that as long as your heart desires

[fathom maple]

If its the same as the other ubi games around 6-8h

[zinc ember]

No worries. I won't be doing any matchmaking. I like to solo.

[jagged prism]

just threw that tidbit in as some people thing demo is the full game then come back later "i've been matchmaking and not finding anyone to matchmake with" plus they don't realize 90% of the population here are at level 40 endgame stuff 😹

[zinc ember]

Is there a way I can disable pvp for if I do end up liking the game and buying the ultimate edition?

[jagged prism]

dont enter the darkzones aside the tutorial

[kind veldt]

PVP is purely optional

[mellow girder]

PvP isn’t a must it’s a choice

[jagged prism]

oh and don't queue for Conflict

[fathom maple]

There is only 1 way to activate PvP, chosing the dark side

[mellow girder]

In saying that, why do people cower from PvP - besides cheaters

[zinc ember]

Will it tell me if it's a darkzone? If I do accidently go in one and die do I lose all my gear?

[mellow girder]

You won’t lose all your gear, just contaminated gear, and usually that’s gear you’ve looted in the Dark zone

[jagged prism]

only thing you lose is dark zone experience if you got any and contaminated gear (will be red with a poison like icon on it)

[zinc ember]

Because I'm strictly singleplayer and always enjoy pve more.

[fathom maple]

It will tell u, u need enter a checkpoint and then enter to the dz so is a choice to enter not an accident

[zinc ember]

I'm eager to play it.

[thin oasis]

You lose nothing

[zinc ember]

Enemies aren't bullet sponges?

[fathom maple]

U only lose ur sanity

[mellow girder]

Nope

[zinc ember]

Okay then I'll definitely like this game then.

[mellow girder]

Challenging difficult scaling, which is still pretty easy

[jagged prism]

only 2 things so far comes to mind with bullet sponges
warhounds and Chunga (guys wearing full head to toe armor)

[gaunt trout]

should be noted, till you get to 1k shd, as long as your not speed building meta builds, it may feel bullet spongey. but generally after 1k, that drops off. specialy with bit of skill

[zinc ember]

Okay then that's understandable.

[latent yoke]

hi

[mellow girder]

I want a world where people come to the DZ more often, they should’ve left DZ exclusive loot, exclusive

[zinc ember]

I'm sure boss fights will be a bit to kill as well as expected they should be.

[latent yoke]

anyone want to partner up?

[jagged prism]

👇 there are LFG channels for this request

[fathom maple]

All hopes to survivors

[gaunt trout]

this will wear off the more cheaters you encounter. we all started off thinking dz was gonna be amazing

[jagged prism]

survivors will be broken into PVE and PVP

[jagged prism]

was amazing before cheaters came

[fathom maple]

Sure is a entire new Game Mode, full PvP and betrayals

[mellow girder]

I live in the DZ I’ve seen my fair share, I just push on through the mud

[mellow girder]

I’ll be playing the PvP mode religiously

[gaunt trout]

last time I was in dz, I encounter 3 times a person with no pulse, I had had all blue, 100% hazpro and pulse. man runs up all red, no stack no gc, deletes me immediately, then pops out the door I spawn from immediately and beings hitting "rougue"

[light steeple]

Jesus that’s how bad dz is rn? 😂

[gaunt trout]

I wish I could say this was a unique situation, but youll find out Im sure

[jagged prism]

at least according to roguegold they'll have 2 seperate survivor modes. PVE where you run it like a mission with other players but can't kill each other with weapons/skills. cant' say teh same for hazards in it but yeah. then the pvp variant where you can kill with your weapons/skills

[mellow girder]

That’s not cheats that’s just gc deleting you

[fathom maple]

In pc yes

[gaunt trout]

he had no gc. and the "cheat" wasnt the dmg. it was finding without pusle and sucessfully poping out spawn door immediately

I can handle taking a face of dmg. I dont call cheats cuz I sux. I call cheats when he did this repeatedly, differenct doors, no load pause

[mellow girder]

Popping out door I can understand, esp perhaps, but when your rogue you can see shd agents a decent while away and you can always check nearby

[jagged prism]

no clue, been max dz level for a long while and there was time i saw one account in youtube posting "undetected division 2 hack" in their videos where they're clearly hacking (shooting things through walls, aim bot, no recoil)

[fathom maple]

All hacks r undetected with the current state of the anti cheat

[gaunt trout]

there are about 6 doors around. and he wasnt manhunt, you dont see a person from across the map without pulse

[spare vale]

finally finished angel hunter now i got the 4 man in NYC left💔 💔

[gaunt trout]

manhunt is what lets you see them

[mellow girder]

No but you can tp and check from checkpoint, you can see name plates so far from checkpoint

[gaunt trout]

anyway, that was just an experience to share.

[timber hatch]

Im not saying they were or werent cheating, but from what your describing thats zero evidance of cheating, that can absolutely be legit play

[spare vale]

this puzzle might give me a stress induced stroke and heart attack at the same time, im savin this for another day😭

[iron adder]

DZ is segmented into pre SHD, SHD 1-1000, SHD above 1000. The last one is very toxic with fully built agents. The first two are pretty chill. Anyway pvp is very optional, you don't need anything from the DZ.

[mellow girder]

Well other then being rogue and leaving, that’s the only sus thing

[gaunt trout]

all I can say is this. 100% pulse resit. he was able to find me conistently, 3 different dz, in the span of a weekend. on killing, he then immediately spawned behind me in my various 20 mile away rng door choice. this happened all 3 times, in all dzs. could be just chance.

[mellow girder]

Also if you block someone it’ll tell you the area their in

[timber hatch]

sure could be chance, skill issue, cheating, the point is we dont know because nothing your saying is real solid evidance or a key indicator of cheating

[gaunt trout]

but I also dont care that much. Im not advertising his name, cuz Im not 100% and I dont think it would matter if I was

[jagged prism]

even if you gave a name the message would get deleted by mod and you'd be reminded of the rule

[gaunt trout]

Im simpling giving mikey a possible reason why pvp wouldnt be more popular if they made dz loot exclusive to dz

[fathom maple]

Only 3 dz exclusive ítems r good in pve so isnt a Big deal

[jagged prism]

what 3?

[mellow girder]

I understand why it’s a rule, but with definitive evidence I think name and shame of a cheater should be allowed

[fathom maple]

Matador for some things, dark winter and rock and roll

[iron adder]

that's false, we do know that it is more popular during AR target loot due to uninformed agents thinking they can get EB easier that way

[gaunt trout]

kard custom, rock and roll, perfect matador to name a few

[mellow girder]

The gift?

[dense anchor]

You left out the Kard as well as Ferocious Calm. Possibly some others lol.

[jagged prism]

no pistol build eh?

[fathom maple]

Ngl i forgot kard

[mellow girder]

Orbit

[fathom maple]

Isnt orbit a loot goblin item?

[mellow girder]

Negative

[jagged prism]

if someone didn't tell me claws out has pistol damage in it, i'd never have it in my pistol build

[dense anchor]

Nah, it's DZ.

[gaunt trout]

yes... but thats a piece of loot that specifcally cant be gained for a solo player. so, yeh, good point, I just dont think its on the same priority list as say rock and roll or kard custom. but yeh. your right

[fathom maple]

I thought It was loot goblin

[mellow girder]

Honestly it’s kinda a noob trap you can get better damage elsewhere

[jagged prism]

can you?

my chainkiller harvest build with it is pretty nice. least for my standards

[gaunt trout]

its also super improtant to understand outside of exos, that the named dz can be crafted. between retal and decent

[mellow girder]

If you were using all the stats the it would be good but I doubt you using all the stats

[gaunt trout]

Im not 100% whether these were legit craftable earlier on, but yeh

[mellow girder]

Walker and Harris two piece would be better then claws out

[mellow girder]

Nah craftable named items only came in with decent

[jagged prism]

so replace D&H punch drunk with a 2nd W&H?

[unique bramble]

The houdsman hunter captured and killed the goblin, so we are getting revenge.

[gaunt trout]

claws out is 500% melee, plus like 20% pistol since the punchdrunk rework. its not really comperable

[mellow girder]

11% pistol*

[stoic scaffold]

Guys I finished Division 2 base game, am lvl 40, i just bought the warlords of nyc expansion, and i would like help with figuring out a build, as I never really focused on tinkering station, or crafting station, or any other stuff like that but spent some time w my specialization doe, I don't know which builds to use or how to farm specific gear sets and which builds are recommended for solo pve and solo pvp

[mellow girder]

If your running a chain killer then just replace the holster

[gaunt trout]

hm. prob

[timber hatch]

check out the pins in the build advice channel. theres a pinned google doc with a bunch of info and guides in it

[jagged prism]

my chainkiller harvest pistol build is chainkiller, punch drunk, 3 imminence. felt like a pretty big increase in pistol damage when i added claws out

[fathom maple]

Revenge? Hell nah, im happy he killed that mf

[gaunt trout]

I cant be half arsed tbh. the holster exists for 500% melee imo. bad talent, bad starting core.

[stoic scaffold]

Alr thanks

[unique bramble]

No goblin means no special loot

[iron adder]

DTA is pretty valuable due to the HH damage equation so 2x WH makes sense

[jagged prism]

yeah, i got luck in DZ and got it with headshot damage and swapped the core to red and build just started to do much better

[mellow girder]

Sure but 5% dta, so you get multiplicative damage, it’s better especially if your running all reds

[fathom maple]

I dont want another Christmas item sir, i have enough i swear😨

[jagged prism]

besides i'm not asking for build advice with my build, just stated i felt it did better once i got claws out on it

[mellow girder]

Dtoc and dta are multiplicative with each other netting more damage then 11 raw

[unique bramble]

Are you saying other people should spend days on descent to get not so exclusive DZ items?

[tender quartz]

for headhunter is damage to armor the best stat? I got my Handbasket with a moderate roll for DtA and I'm wondering if I can stop grinding or if I need DtooC

[mellow girder]

Dtoc is a better stat but having both is best

[jagged prism]

think dtooc is the maximum damage you can get

[fathom maple]

I mean thats good, descent is dead, also i like gambling so named caches r the best way

[unique bramble]

Nah DTA only have 6% of maximum attribute on weapons, DTOC has 10%

[mellow girder]

Fax but having both simultaneously is going to net better damage

[iron adder]

not exactly, it's a choice between DTA, DTOC, DTH
DTOC, DTH has better first shot damage if you shoot a red first
DTH has higher max damage against health
DTA has higher max damage against armor
DTOC has the lowest max damage but it applies everywhere

[fathom maple]

No one here knows how to do a good dmg build, 6 pieces of yellow 511 and mosquito is the way

[unique bramble]

DTH*

[tender quartz]

ok so given that with HH stacks everything dies anyway it's about that first shot damage so dtooc is king

[unique bramble]

I prefer the level 1 gray gear, the best

[small spear]

DTH really only applies against chunga armor plates and reds too btw, if you're shooting an armored target and one-shotting them too DTH basically never triggers

[mellow girder]

I don’t think I’ve ever shot my mosquito

[fathom maple]

That gave me flashbacks

I mm someone on PL with full grey items

I realized when he got down like 6 times in 2 mins in the fuel tank

[iron adder]

most of the time, yeah
There's some specific build like Swift's DTA HH build that is calculated to hit a specific breakpoint against armored targets in solo legendary with the most blue cores possible

[zinc ember]

This is also a exploration game right?

I shouldnt only focus on going straight to the quest market?

[loud plank]

exploration'ish

not really though imo

[zinc ember]

What I mean is do I need to look around for weapons and loot?

[wispy sinew]

kill enemies, pray to rng

[jagged prism]

just look around for caches to unlock perks and skills but beyond that weapons/loot drops from missions and enemies

[zinc ember]

Okay and same goes for ammo? Kill enemies for ammo?

[wispy sinew]

open blue ammo boxes, or kill with pistol , or use Ongoing set, if directive are on

[lunar hare]

not need but I highly recommend to look around in almost every corner, behind/on/in places like cars, trucks and trash bags for backpacks and stuff that will help you short and long term

[zinc ember]

How do I crouch?

[lunar hare]

you cannot, but you can definitely take cover

[wispy sinew]

there is no crouch, only go into cover by pressing spacebar near cover

[zinc ember]

That's weird there's no crouch. I'm always playing stealthy. I'll have to adapt. Haha

[wispy sinew]

there is no stealth

[lunar hare]

you can walk veeeery slowly but enemies on higher difficulties will see you if you get too close

[small spear]

yeah the moment you start the fight you are known on where you are until the fight ends

[lunar hare]

taking cover and moving when in cover allows you to get away/position effectively if no one sees you ofc

[dry gate]

thank you bud.. I play now on both PC and PS5.. I have some friends I got to get Div 2 on PS5 though.. so I'm leveling up new account there.. let me tell you.. I forgot the grind to get everything again 🙂 it's fun though.. that excitment to get the stuff I need

[loud plank]

A similar'ish game to this that might suit your style is ghost recon wildlands/breakpoint. You can stealth all the way for the most part

[zinc ember]

I remember that game. It was fun.

For now I guess I will be using the sniper until I get a better AR with significantly less recoil. Haha.

I hope I get to see how good the weapons can be before the demo is over.

[loud plank]

If you didnt know, the game is on sale on steam atm.

[zinc ember]

I know. 34.99 for the ultimate edition is the one im gonna get if I like it.

[cunning gale]

Any active clans recruiting?

[jagged prism]

👇 there's a clan recruitment channel

[dreamy dust]

can you get the turmoil kneepads rn?

[jagged prism]

no

[lunar hare]

nope, not until Stretch Goals

[jagged prism]

extremely low chance

[lunar hare]

but they will be there tho
I'm sensing rng crybabies coming

[dreamy dust]

whats that?

[lunar hare]

Stretch Goals let's you go further on your season pass levels 100+ and rewards you with caches that have low chances of dropping Raid Exclusives and past rewards like Lexi and Turmoil

[fathom maple]

Good times telling ppl is not mandatory to have It, i still remember all the "udk about the Game shut up😭"

[lunar hare]

this is worse than going back to the pandemic

[fathom maple]

I still remember a Guy in this server crying and saying idk what farm is bc i dont need farm lexi (i farmed around 10 lexis for other ppl)

Good times

[dense anchor]

People got so hyped about Turmoil last season because they didn't even understand what it does lol. Most people that got it and used it made their builds effectively worse. XD

[zinc ember]

Didn't yall say there are difficulty settings? I don't see them.

[fathom maple]

A pandemic of turmoils on raid/incursion bosses, holy shi time

[lunar hare]

I read it once, tried them, didn't understand what they did, read it twice and understood then stashed them.

[fathom maple]

U need complete the campaign i believe

[zinc ember]

Ah okay. How long is the campaign?

[dense anchor]

Yea. They're a very niche item. You don't just put them on every build and see an improvement.

[fathom maple]

Depends, 20-40 hours

The leveling system and side missions and all that make It longer than It should be

[zinc ember]

Damn. By that point I might feel satisfied with the game. Lol

[lunar hare]

this game is almost a non ending game lmao, so you do you my man

[fathom maple]

U think thats it? A special faction appears and u need complete more and then u have 2 dlcs with around +10h of content

This game have a lot, and not to mention the Manhunt clímax missions for more lore😭

[zinc ember]

Yeah I don't play mmorpgs or anything that requires a lot of grind. I don't have that kind of time on my hands. But it does seem fun so far. It doesn't feel like I'm playing an online game so that's a plus.

I might end up buying the ultimate edition.

[loud plank]

Almost all content can be done solo so thats a plus

[fathom maple]

As long u dont transform into a one trick striker user u r good in this game

Striker make u go braindead

[zinc ember]

So um I came across this story mission hud Grand Washington hotel. Hitting A to select it does nothing. And I don't want to match make. So how do I solo it?

[fathom maple]

Just run into the mission

[zinc ember]

Oh its the same thing my GPS is taking me to?

[fathom maple]

Yep

[zinc ember]

Okay. Thanks!

[fathom maple]

That thing is only to change difficulty, put directives or matchmake, if u dont want change nothing just run into the mission

Works the same for every mission

[jagged prism]

any clue if they got rid of the mandatory story mode difficulty?

[fathom maple]

Ngl idk, but ig no

[zinc ember]

Yeah I saw nothing about difficulty. So it's probably by design. When does recoil become better where it's okay to use automatic weapons? Because as of now they aren't worth using.

[fathom maple]

In my experience back when i was a baby agent i recommend DMRs/snipers, hard hits in most of the enemies

[zinc ember]

DMR's?

[fathom maple]

ARs get better later, low rarity items have horrendous recoil

[loud plank]

DMR's and SMG's were my goto at the beginning

[fathom maple]

Rifles basically

[zinc ember]

Ah I have a ACR SS and that too is just horrible. Lol

[unique bramble]

It's more like you can't improve neither it's rarity or level

[jagged prism]

basically you probably won't like auto weapons until you're level 40 as you'll be instructed to just wear random things that are higher level

[fathom maple]

Dont confuse Assault rifles with rifles, r 2 complete different things

Most of the games catalog rifles as DMR/Mmr rifle and things like that

[jagged prism]

AKA you got a level 1 holster on and a level 2 holster dropped with a stat lower than your level 1, you'll want to wear the level 2 holster regardless

[zinc ember]

Well it says rifle instead of assault rifle. I basically have to be close to melee range to use either assault rifles or that rifle

[fathom maple]

Rifles r for mid-long range, ARs almost any range

ARs r fully autos and rifles semi autos (u can change this with a setting, but 2 rifles dont care about this setting)

[zinc ember]

That's not the case for the ones you get at the beginning.

[zinc ember]

How do I change it?

[fathom maple]

Well u have the setting active ig, or i think It was with an update i dont remember

[zinc ember]

Hm. It might not be available in the demo.

Just went through every gameplay accessibility settling.

[fathom maple]

Then was an update to rifles

[dense anchor]

That was an update that made most (or all?) rifles auto by default.

[fathom maple]

I think only 2 rifles r fully semi autos

[zinc ember]

Ah. Then the acr SS is probably one of the few that is fully auto. Just my luck. 😂

[jagged prism]

pretty sure all rifles but the m16a2 and 1886 are auto (hold button down for continuous fire)

[dense anchor]

That sounds accurate.

[zinc ember]

And ACR SS

[dense anchor]

Yea, most should be basically auto, but obviously slower firing than an AR.

[zinc ember]

Yeah seems I'll be sticking to semi auto for awhile. I hope I will get a decent full auto before the demo is over.

[dense anchor]

If you don't hold left mouse, they're all semi-auto. 😌

[zinc ember]

I use a controller

[dense anchor]

Should be same principle, though. Can tap fire weapons.

[zinc ember]

Oh I do. But that doesn't stop 4-5 bullet shooting in a long vertical line. 😂

[dense anchor]

I know I suck at controller, but maybe just getting used to the recoil could be part of it.

[zinc ember]

I miss having aim assist.

[warm blaze]

ok so i havent olayed for like a month. Where are the baby hounds coming from?

[dense anchor]

It's the current Halloween event.

[warm blaze]

Cool

[dense anchor]

[This post](#news-and-announcements message) has all the details.

[zinc ember]

Apparently there is aim assist. But it doesn't do anything at all.

[dense anchor]

I think it just helps center you mid body on targets.

[zinc ember]

It doesn't for me at all

This game is way too hard

If I buy the game will I have the option to lower the difficulty?

[jagged prism]

if you know the loot goblin spawns you'll find mini hounds instead if not sure, 3 places were mentioned in roguegold's video DCD, JTC and DZ South ( big door icon) i personally used JTC and DZ South

[warm blaze]

I've managed to run into 4 now just catching up on the manhunt.

[zinc ember]

I don't understand why this game is so difficult. I can beat days gone on survivor 2 and last of us 1 and 2 on grounded. I think it's because of I keep missing shots like crazy.

[jagged prism]

if you got an interest in the houndsman cosmetic today it the last time you can get all 4 pieces. tomorrow on ward you'll only get the mask

[warm blaze]

ya checking out rocks vidoe on it now

[zinc ember]

So I can't open this chest because it says my inventory is full. How do I know what to drop if they won't show me what it is?

[jagged prism]

if push comes to shove. just matchmake random bounty. you'll be bound to get in a bunch of houndsman runs

[zinc ember]

I guess we just drop random shit until it doesn't say full. I need more better weapons.

[dense anchor]

The entire campaign on your way to level 40 is just a tutorial. None of the items you get mean anything lol just mostly equip what's better stat wise for a while.

[jagged prism]

the old stuff you either deconstruct for materials or sell for ecredits

[zinc ember]

Well when does the game get easier?

[jagged prism]

when you're level 40 shd 1k+ and you got builds for every scenario for your playstyle

[bitter wraith]

Can I buy red eye helmet and red visor without buying the £15 bundle?

[zinc ember]

Hopefully that happens before the demo is over.

Because right now the demo is telling me this is too hard of a game.

[jagged prism]

if they ever throw it in the textiles section

[unique summit]

what level are you?

[bitter wraith]

So guess that's a no then. £15 for a virtual helmet is not worth it.

[zinc ember]

2

I have 6h and 32m to get to level 40

[unique summit]

ok max level is 40. until then follow this simple process:

• if the item is less than your current level, deconstruct it
• if the item is the same as your current level, use it
• if you have multiple items at your current level, use the one that looks cooler

[jagged prism]

you don't get 40

[unique summit]

if your bag/stash is full you have too much junk, deconstruct

once you're 40 then you can start keeping stuff

[zinc ember]

Well I salvaged level 2s because they are fully auto. I'm still using the base marksman rifle because fully auto sucks.

[unique summit]

all that matters is you use gear that is your level, that's it. everything else comes later.

[jagged prism]

pretty sure demo is locked to level 20 max

[zinc ember]

But I can't hit anyone if it's fully auto

[unique summit]

oooh demo

d2 has a demo???

[tawdry pawn]

honestly its not a super hard game, but it definitly takes some time to get to where you wanna be. if you enjoy it throughout the demo give it a buy or even wait untill its on sale. the demo imo doesnt let you get to the real meat of div 2 sadly.

[jagged prism]

yes

[unique summit]

get closer

use cover to cover moves

[zinc ember]

My problem is lack of aim assist despite the setting saying it's on.

[jagged prism]

if you're patient enough (3-4 weeks from now) pretty sure a black friday/cyber monday deal will be coming

[zinc ember]

It's already cheap

[jagged prism]

oh, btw: if you got the xbox gamepass on PC it's there

[zinc ember]

Price isn't the issue. The issue is how am i supposed to know if it gets harder or easier before I buy

Damn enemies keep flanking me and shit.

[tawdry pawn]

honestly playing the rest of the 6.5 hrs you have on the demo will answer that for you. just comes down to weather or not its worth it for you. tbh you can eventually make the game as easy or hard as you like (recoil aside)

plus playing with people generally makes the game a bit easier. always use your friends as shields lol

[zinc ember]

Oh god now there's a juggernaut as if the game wasn't hard enough

How many lives do you get?

Infinite respawn?

[tawdry pawn]

yea and you can be revived if anyone is playing with you

[jagged prism]

only mode where you die once and it's over is Hardcore which you opt into when you create your character

[zinc ember]

I feel like this game is forcing me to play with people. But that never works out. 😂

[tawdry pawn]

yeaaaa it can be hard to find people to play with, but this discord usually has people ready to go at any time

[zinc ember]

That's not the problem. The problem is finding people who can deal with having me. Lol it's why I play singleplayer.

[tawdry pawn]

what since your level 2 you mean?

[kind veldt]

infinite lives, just checkpoint based

[zinc ember]

No. I'm just talking from previous experience with past games. Lol

[kind veldt]

there is reviver hive which is popular for solo players

it will revive you once but it has a long cooldown

[thin oasis]

Twice with Kard

[jagged prism]

i've had localdeck play with me and averageplayer carry me in legendary zoo and i suck at the game in general

[kind veldt]

so most common new players suvivalbility skills tend to be a crusader shield and reviver hive even for not skill related builds

[tawdry pawn]

dont sell yourself short man, lotta different types here and mostly everyone just wants to play for the love of the game

[kind veldt]

campaign and most of seasonal content i do solo

[warm blaze]

ok those baby hounds are made from friggin beskar i tell ya

[kind veldt]

but i do enjoy matchmaking at random and other harder content that requires group

[zinc ember]

Wait, they want me to waste my ammo on the barricade?

[jagged prism]

yes

[zinc ember]

I don't have enough though.

[tawdry pawn]

does every event cache have like a 100% chance for a quickstep lol. this is wild

[jagged prism]

most of the time i used Advanced materials and Mini gun for them

[jagged prism]

seems like it, i thought i'd be in it for a long haul to get my quickstep

[tawdry pawn]

same, just pulled like 7 in a row. no complaints here though

[zinc ember]

Okay I'm out of ammo and the barricade is still standing. Now what?

[warm blaze]

pistol has infinite ammo

[zinc ember]

Oh I forget I have that.

[jagged prism]

you try the mounted mini gun?

[zinc ember]

Haven't picked one up yet.

[tawdry pawn]

top of the stairs theres a mounted one

[jagged prism]

there's one in the mission......

[zinc ember]

Oh there was way too much shit going on. I didn't see one.

Finally get a weapon and it's a damn shotgun. 😞

[warm blaze]

ok i had a hound spawn inside a truck trailer. It opened the door and came out like i was some kid on its lawn lol

[zinc ember]

Can't I use real money and just buy a gun?

[warm blaze]

nope

[zinc ember]

Like does ubisoft offer anything like that?

[warm blaze]

well not true. there are a few vendors around the map

[jagged prism]

only real money buys in game is cosmetics and season pass for more loots

[zinc ember]

So the ultimate edition will give me more loot?

It comes with the season passes

[tawdry pawn]

technically, yes

[jagged prism]

no, ultimate edition is base game, Warlords of New York and maybe Battle for Brooklyn? then a season pass to get a 2nd track of season pass rewards = more loot usually

[tawdry pawn]

i stand corrected

[zinc ember]

Year 1 pass isn't the same thing?

[jagged prism]

they changed the look of that season pass rewards. used to be 2 lines 1 free line of rewards and 2nd line of extra rewards from using real money to buy the pass. in places where one gets say an exotic cache, you get a 1 free exotic cache and a 2nd from buying the season pass

[zinc ember]

Seems gold edition may be what I need then.

[jagged prism]

no year 1 pass is just unlocking all 6 specilizations without doing the project

[zinc ember]

Idk what that is.

[tawdry pawn]

max lvl content

[zinc ember]

Which I don't even need right now.

[jagged prism]

forget all 3 names but one is technician i believe, without the year 1 pass you'd have to do various objectives to unlock it to play it, then play it to level up their perks. year 1 pass bypasses that and you have it unlocked immediately but you still have to play it to gain the perks in them

[zinc ember]

It doesn't look like there is a season pass.

Unless it is the pact season bundle?

[warm blaze]

think the season pass was a year 1/2 thing that gave 12 extra short missions

[zinc ember]

So if I buy the gold edition right now, is that gonna make the campaign any easier?

[jagged prism]

not sure 12, but something like 6 maybe? classified missions

[jagged prism]

no

[zinc ember]

They don't give me anything at all?

[warm blaze]

just checked the map it was 8 classified missions

[jagged prism]

nope, gold gives you base game and warlords of new york

[zinc ember]

Maybe I need to just do missions 1 or 2 levels below me.

[jagged prism]

just do story mode missions

[warm blaze]

take it slow and using cover is good till you get to 40 and can start making actual builds

[zinc ember]

That's what I'm talking about do side missions to level up a level or 2 past whatever level the story mission is. It's the story missions I'm struggling with.

What can I do to have an easier experience?

[warm blaze]

can he call for backup and have a high lvl join?

[zinc ember]

I mean solo.

If the game had proper aim assist I wouldn't have issues at all.

[warm blaze]

going slow and using cover so when they come at you should help you to have and easier time dealing with them and i found using a rifle and ar/lmg helped a lot

[zinc ember]

Yeah but what if there is like 4 that surrounds me and they all rushed me in melee range? That's why I kept dying earlier

[jagged prism]

demo won't let you play with others at all

[zinc ember]

I can't use full auto weapons. They suck bad.

[warm blaze]

nothing wrong with a tatical retreat and make sure you have the revive hive on you at all times. its give you second chances ever 3 minutes

[zinc ember]

Idk what that is.

[warm blaze]

snap. didnt realize he was on the demo

[zinc ember]

They didn't introduce a revive hive yet.

[warm blaze]

revive hive is one of the skills you can have on your character that is unlockable

[zinc ember]

I only have a drone.

[jagged prism]

they do, you probably chooose a different skill

[zinc ember]

I'm only level 3. I probably can't unlock it yet.

[frozen relic]

i think hes like lvl 2 or smth and just completed the introduction and where the game picks your first skill for you

[warm blaze]

as you do story missions you get skill point to unlock the skills

[warm blaze]

dont the force the assualt drone on you with that?

[frozen relic]

ive gotten scanner pulse as well

[zinc ember]

At least the aiming isn't as bad as it is in cyberpunk 2077. That game was almost unplayable.

[jagged prism]

does it pick it for you? i don't remember honestly

[zinc ember]

What is echo reconstructed?

[warm blaze]

shooting in 2077?!?!?! i didnt know we needed to as a net runner

[frozen relic]

it did for me when i started on my pc account

[jagged prism]

lore

walk upto it hit F and watch

[warm blaze]

best echo will still be the breaking bad one on the roof in Div 1

[zinc ember]

Yeah I used melee because guns were the worst things that had in cyberpunk.

[iron gust]

Yes, first skill you have to pick is striker drone

[zinc ember]

What's this steel and titanium for?

[jagged prism]

crafting

[zinc ember]

Wait can I craft weapons?

[jagged prism]

weapons brandset, gearset, mods

[warm blaze]

One skill which i wish carried over from Division 1 was the all in one support station. I loved that thing on pier 93 or was it 96 cant remember.

[zinc ember]

Okay how can I craft a gun?

[jagged prism]

i do miss that lunch box

[jagged prism]

the game will take you through that via a tutorial

[warm blaze]

white house under the chopper pad

[zinc ember]

Okay is there anything like a survival sense where you can spot things that highlights in your surroundings?

[jagged prism]

demo level 2ish player. probably no blue prints yet

[jagged prism]

yes, something the game will take you through once you complete that mission. eventually it'll be like go do this thing

[warm blaze]

how do i keep on forgetting this one simple fact lol

[turbid river]

Anyone else getting this weird issue where they cant loot anything? Inventory is NOT full.

[zinc ember]

Looks like the pistol is my the best weapon I got. It's op af.

[warm blaze]

pistols do get slept on in this game

[turbid river]

Nevermind. Servers just being dog water.

[zinc ember]

I haven't even picked up a better one yet. Still using the base you start out with.

And those ammo restocks for some reason doesn't refill my marksman rifle ammo anymore so it's always empty.

[warm blaze]

servers are having a bit of a tantrum at the moment so that may have something to do with it

[turbid river]

I attempted like 6 different actions. Looting, opening a door, and throwing a grenade. After a few minutes it all just caught up and simultaneously happened. Horrendous sounding as well.

[zinc ember]

Wished I could use silenced weapons.

[warm blaze]

in time grasshopper

[jagged prism]

they don't do much in game honestly. you shoot and miss all gets alerted to your presense and proceed to target you

[zinc ember]

Goddammit I hate the aiming in the in this game. I can shoot 10 times and still miss regardless if they are dead center in my scope.

Gonna try one more time.

[jagged prism]

you should change the last part to be lootcifer so we can send you our sacrfices for in game stuff we want (> <)

[zinc ember]

How do I get hyenas keys?

[jagged prism]

killing named hyena npcs, find boxes on walls and opening and praying it's hyena key

[lunar hare]

in the sewer systems*

[zinc ember]

Ah okay. I wished we had a flashlight.

[lunar hare]

them boxes shine orange when you're close so they're easy to spot

[timber hatch]

Theres a flashlight as a pistol attachment

[jagged prism]

something they can get at under level 10 in demo?

[keen osprey]

Halloween Project chain is showing now

[zinc ember]

I now realized how the aim assist works in this game. It's the moment you ads but you want the crosshairs somewhat close to the enemy and you shoot as ads without the need to adjust.

Says I have season pass rewards. How can that be if I am playing in the demo?

[jagged prism]

it's active at level 1

[zinc ember]

Is that why I can't find it for sale? We already have it?

[iron adder]

there's free and (paid) premium season pass

[zinc ember]

Oh maybe it's just not available for steam then.

Idk how to even access the rewards.

[jagged prism]

pc? hit esc

[zinc ember]

I'm on pc but using controller.

Might have to get the full game to see it.

[jagged prism]

so maybe the controller xbox/ps or something similar

[zinc ember]

I think it's safe to say I might like this game. But idk what edition to buy.

I'm just gonna assume the game gets easier later on.

[jagged prism]

definitely when you're past 1k+ shd level as you'll have stats that helps in other things in game

[zinc ember]

Idk what shd is. But do I need the ultimate or gold edition?

Ultimate is 34.99 and gold is like 23 I think.

[jagged prism]

to me both are the same with a few extra stuff in ultimate

[zinc ember]

That extra can you get anyways In game?

[jagged prism]

believe so, but you still got to spend real life money into premium credits and premium credits for the stuff

[zinc ember]

What does premium credits get you?

[jagged prism]

in game money to buy things from division 2 in game store. usually cosmetical stuff

[zinc ember]

Ah okay. So gold would be the perfect buy then.

I'm sure in game cosmetics you unlock are good.

[jagged prism]

would have to ask someone else as i have terrible fashion sense

[zinc ember]

Interesting. It has a level 40 boost.

Now I'm definitely buying.

[jagged prism]

don't do it unless you want to be even more confused

[zinc ember]

Okay still though buying the game because I think I'm gonna like it.

Gold is what I decided on.

[jagged prism]

if you're good at memerizing things. memerize the spawn points. game will become so much easier if you already know where you need to be for them spawns

[zinc ember]

I rely on the GPS system. My adhd won't allow me to remember.

[jagged prism]

i'm just saying. you run missions you take note where spawns comes out of. so that if you got a close quarter build you can be in their faces before they hide or long range you can point your gun in that direction for them

[solid hawk]

Hey guys, kinda getting back into the game, I’m wondering where can I get the most resources for upgrading gear

Like steel ceramics etc

[jagged prism]

if you mean expertising, selecting whatever materials you need for the target loot and dismantling them all

otherwise i know people mention the solar farm as a way to gain a lot of materials

[sullen solar]

Anyone not getting Exotic Drops or Blueprints from kill squads? 11 squads now and no drops. Also tried to make 2 NYC Caches and no blueprints dropped, even though Im still missing blueprints

[warm blaze]

ok so the new mask and the rabbit season shirt, pants, boots and glove go kinda hard

also my watch is red when outside the white house/castle

[solid hawk]

Ok thank you and for my library I need 0.1% accuracy for shotguns, how do I know which shotgun it is?

[warm blaze]

it will show you which ones you can take it from

[hoary juniper]

With the permanent bans that were sent out that include Ubisofts code of conduct, does anyone know where this code of conduct and terms of service are? It links to Ubisoft Forums when clicking the CoC link provided in these Ban emails.

[warm blaze]

i just typed ubisoft code of conduct into google and it was the first and second link

[hoary juniper]

I got it, thanks. Figured the link would normally just take you there, not to the removed forums.

[warm blaze]

ya some emails be weird like that sometimes

i just got a loot goblin instead of the hound

[hoary juniper]

Has anyone here gone through this renabling process for their account? No reason other than I violated code of conduct and when requesting an appeal, I was then given a denial that seems just seems auto generated in response. I requested a detailed reason for the ban as well and everything was auto generated. I just bought brooklyn DLC 4 days ago and now I'm banned.

[rough sleet]

keep reaching out

just gotta get passed the stupid automated response crap, eventually you'll get a human that'll review the scenario as they're currently working on fixing the false bans

[dreamy skiff]

The fix is rolling out. It could take a little while.
I'm still banned too

[fluid meadow]

is my goat washed? 💔

[dreamy skiff]

Totally 😆

[frozen relic]

Nah I played with him once he did good

[hybrid ore]

oh hey Adam King 😉

[dreamy skiff]

HAHA My VLDL brothers!

Gutted I missed out on joining them for filming

[muted geyser]

Is there a place I can post a picture of my division 2 build?

[dreamy skiff]

Maybe here? https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489468635333656576

[fluid meadow]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489468635333656576 if it's for advice here

[muted geyser]

Thank you!

[muted geyser]

Thank you!

[split terrace]

I just got the Sinister mask from a Halloween project I think was meant for tomorrow.

[plucky hull]

So, once I hit level 30 and completed the Capitol and everything's been invaded and reset, would it be better for me to continue on in DC or just jump into NY?

[hybrid ore]

@dreamy skiff ah gutted.
@split terrace The weekly projects always start on the day of, since the reset is in about 6 hours. It's all a time-zone thing. It's been the 28th here for half a day already.

[fluid meadow]

god bless countries that have earlier time zones than me

[hybrid ore]

Imagine being 15 hours late to the party.

[fluid meadow]

SHUT UP

[rough sleet]

damn time travellers man....

[dreamy skiff]

From the future fam right here lol

[frozen relic]

project chains usually start at <t:1761609600:t> if i remember correctly i dont know why it was the day before reset instead of after reset

[split terrace]

I know it’s supposed to be that way but it has never been that way for me. Always been after midnight my time. This is the first time.

[hybrid ore]

If they started late, people would complain more than they do about them.

This is the lesser of two evils.

[frozen relic]

yeah ur right

imo anyways why not have it on the same reset schedule as everything else

[hybrid ore]

I'm going to assume this helps with figuring out issues, or it's because of some other reason that we as non-devs have no idea about.
either way: new shiny thing early.

[rough sleet]

shiny thing! \o/

[hoary juniper]

Pay for Brooklyn DLC, inquire about a refund due to a supposid ban for no clear reason, and then support closes the ticket and says I cannot get refunds on games I am banned from? Isn't this just theft with extra steps?

[rough sleet]

just gonna take some time to get the ban cleared up

[hoary juniper]

Just wanted to come home today and play some Division 2 for a little bit.

[plucky hull]

Ubisoft's support is quite possibly the worst in the industry, and that's saying something when all of EA's is now automated by AI lol

[hoary juniper]

Instead of providing me the reason that explicity details the reason for the ban. The AI circumvents the request and just closes the ticket and thanks me kindly.

[rough sleet]

yeah, problem is just like a lot of customer services scenarios, the people you're getting put in contact with aren't the ones who can't do anything about the ban and are just running through the motions like every day, probably not even entirely up to speed on what's going on with the div bans....just keep reaching out, ask the case to be escalated if need be, it'll get cleared up eventually. it's frustrating for sure tho

[plucky hull]

Ubi's customer service has always been the worst, though. It kind of tracks, given how they're always at the forefront of anti-consumer practices. They seem to genuinely hate their customers lol

[frozen relic]

there was a banwave eariler that banned alot of innocent accounts as well youll hopefully be unbanned soon

[hybrid ore]

I will say that the support was fantastic at one point, but the recent news about it that I've heard is not great.
Just give it a little bit to clear up, I'm sure it'll be fine.

[frozen relic]

i asked support not to long ago said theyre were going to send to the technical team bug is fixed tho so thats good but it was reported widely so my ticket may of done nothing

[hoary juniper]

Can you actually get a refund for everything on your account?

[hybrid ore]

If you buy a DLC it will tell you before the purchase is made.
short story: not really.

[plucky hull]

I dealt with them back in like 2015 before Uplay automatically created and attached an account to your Steam account, because I had a bunch of games I wanted to transfer over to that account. They couldn't help me, and now I have no way of playing those games I own because I don't even remember the email I used

[hybrid ore]

2017 they returned my stolen account, and even un-deleted my div1 characters.
So it can vary.

[plucky hull]

Uplay has been nothing but an unmitigated disaster ever since they put it out, and I just wish they'd kill it already

[hybrid ore]

They did kill uplay, it's ubisoft-connect now.

[plucky hull]

Oh it's the same shit

[hybrid ore]

Calm down.

[plucky hull]

I am calm lol. Rebranding doesn't change what it is.

Even EA doesn't force Origin or the EA app onto games it releases on Steam anymore. Ubisoft is always the last to learn

[hybrid ore]

It's clear you're mad about something, but there's no reason to act out here, no one here can do anything, and this channel is specifically to discuss division 2, not official technical support.

So it's time to move along now.

[rough sleet]

so first time playing with the global modifiers on, and it's actually pretty funny seeing how fast a shield hyena runs even with shield out. XD

[hoary juniper]

Is there a reason why Ubisoft has to send an email to you through their support sections in tickets to verfiy you are the account holder? Aren't you already technically the account holder if you're already at that point in the process? lol

[wind turret]

So just an FYI some of the bans have been related to Nvidea Bluefield 3 DPU and ita DMA access this was a response to one of our clan members getting a false positive ban

[plucky hull]

I'm 99% sure they do that just to make the process as obtuse and difficult as possible, hoping you just give up

[gaunt aurora]

Is challenging still the way to go for countdown farming?

[hybrid ore]

@gaunt aurora 100% yes.

Nice! Thank you.

[hoary juniper]

Is hat driver releated or something Nvidia pushed?

[hybrid ore]

I would be very shocked if it was anyone with the latest driver.

for a start, that would be most of the player-base.

[rough sleet]

lol, people actually update their drivers? mine are gathering digital cobwebs at this point

[wind turret]

@hybrid ore I can send you the screenshot of the correspondence email

[hybrid ore]

I truly don't want to read it.

[full zinc]

you and me both 😅

[hybrid ore]

My PC likes to freak out if I don't update them before too long, I'm going to assume it's the ghosts haunting it.

[plucky hull]

BF6 had constant stuttering on my 6800XT/5800X build until I updated a chipset driver, that fixed it for me completely

[wind turret]

Its what ubisoft support responded with

[hybrid ore]

tl;dr I have the latest driver and no ban, so I'm sure it's not just "anyone with the driver".

[wind turret]

Dunno but either way they reinstated his account so who know

[frozen relic]

me as well i didnt get banned

[dreamy skiff]

(Updating as we speak, after reading this 😆 )

[frozen relic]

i checked mine as well lol

[hybrid ore]

The last driver was 2 weeks ago, it must be said.

[dreamy skiff]

Oct 14 - yup
I've been slack

[wind turret]

Lol

[hybrid ore]

581.57, in case anyone needs that info.

[full zinc]

still at 580 from july 😎 , im sure ill be force updated before too long

[hoary juniper]

If ban appeals are closed out by the automated system, will it still be reviewed with the wave that was announced in division tweets or do I need to just keep opening tickets until it get resolved?

[iron adder]

don't open new ticket, just replying to your existing ticket

[hoary juniper]

I gotcha, the system keeps closing my ticket out over and over.

[plucky hull]

Where do I get "Journey rewards"? I have this annoying thing in the bottom corner that won't go away, and I can't find it

[muted geyser]

Is it possible to just get the Houndsmen hound vest?

[muted geyser]

Like just his chest armor?

[full zinc]

today is the last day for the outfit afaik, but you have some time. matchmake for bounties and youll likely only hit houndsman bounties and can earn the caches in no time

[plucky hull]

Also, did anyone else find the end of the capitol siege absolutely ridiculous? You hook up a briefcase to an extraction chopper instead of just...getting in with the chopper lol

[kind tapir]

i miss redline overdrive

can they bring it back

[hoary juniper]

lmao the AI keeps closing my ticket. Ain't no way this can legitimately be legal to take money and close tickets like this with AI.

Won't even leave it open for review by a human to see it or get to it.

[plucky hull]

It probably isn't, but as Ubisoft and their lawyers think - what are you going to do about it? Go up against a multi-billion dollar corporation?

[lilac elbow]

Sinister outfit can start acquiring now?

[kind veldt]

Y

[full zinc]

hit up the official ubi support discord and try to get the ticket reopened/escalated by a human. link in #unofficial-troubleshooting pins

#unofficial-troubleshooting message

[warm blaze]

ya i got the first piece as well. happened on NA East a few hours ago with a server reset

[plucky hull]

The game not having a "sell all" button is really screwing with my carpal tunnel now that I'm past level 30. Having to just mash v to mark as junk is awful

[iron adder]

you can hold shift and select a bunch of items then mark them all as junk at once

[full zinc]

first world problems

[plucky hull]

Can I select 1 item, scroll down to the bottom, shift click the last and that marks them all?

[iron adder]

yes,

[plucky hull]

Okay, thank you, that solves that problem

[iron adder]

there's also a general category of gear that show all gear instead of going to individual mask/chest/backpack/etc.

[plucky hull]

Also, why tf is there a server restart timer in the bottom middle when it restarts in almost 6 hours? That's so annoying lol. Every other game just lets you know 1 hour beforehand, because you know, that's the reasonable thing to do

[iron adder]

it is what it is

[plucky hull]

Just another case of Ubisoft being incapable of doing something everyone else does, I guess

Also also, am I crazy or do apparel drops like sextuple in quantity after level 30? They drip feed you them before then, now I'm getting them on like every other backpack

[echo cloud]

whats the most effective way to level up active modifiers? spam retaliation?

[twin nacelle]

Is this... "5h maint and server down every other day" a trend in division2?

[echo cloud]

5 hour maint is rough

[jagged prism]

nah, usually just a week for the weekly manhunts, last week amazon services were attacked so the maintenance they did friday was probably to get rid of any left over stuff technically in their services from then

[echo cloud]

hm i wonder how fast does flamethrower build striker stacks

[wispy sinew]

ikr i think its like 3 maintainance in the past week ive been playing

[sly tundra]

LOL what a question.. It's not a hard answer.

[brisk copper]

drib is the severs going to done for Maints

[dire ravine]

Yes

[brisk copper]

Thankyou.

[wise peak]

Are the servers down?.

Forgive me for asking a question that may have already been asked but I’ve just woken up not too long ago😅

[dire ravine]

Yes maintenance just started

[acoustic sand]

every tuesday around the same time the servers go down for maintenance

[dire ravine]

Supposed to be down for 5 hours

[spice saddle]

What are the must have exotics/named items?

I got a lv 35 capacitor from a box ache and it’s not even worth using

[wise peak]

It Depends really. Honestly I personally don’t use exotics as much. The only exception is the ninja backpack for me😅
