[rotund merlin]

I even tried take my exotics off and that didn't work either

[edgy fable]

I had to emote like 128902374892374 times to get those to work for me. Don't recall but changing instances but I really don't remember. Just that those took forever for me to get them to spawn

[rotund merlin]

How long have they been bugged? Been playing since 6 months ago and just now getting around to it.

[edgy fable]

Years

[jagged prism]

probably since it's inception but just gotten worse over the years as they add more things to the game

[rotund merlin]

Oh wow, and I'm pretty sure the devs isn't going to fix it.

[edgy fable]

We deal with it, it's usually doable

[jagged prism]

they either can go through and fix everything but not give us new content and lose players because it'll get boring with no new things or just continue what they're doing.
which would you prefer?

[rough sleet]

pretty sure the devs don't know how to fix it since they don't know what truthfully breaks it....to be honest..

[edgy fable]

Most likely or it would be fixed

[jagged prism]

that too, aka the person who coded it is no longer with them and no notes left behind

[thick yarrow]

the key dropping is rng

[tame glade]

Rng?

[edgy fable]

Randomly number generated

[thick yarrow]

its not guaranteed to drop all the time

[edgy fable]

It's the "luck" element in games that are considered to be looter shooters

[rotund merlin]

I was just curious as to what was in those ivory and off white key crates. I knew it had to do with the hunters. I some

[jagged prism]

aka, you roll a 6 sided dice. 1-3 no drop, 4-6 it drops kind of thing

[tame glade]

So i had a bad luck for last 3 days

[jagged prism]

DC an AR, NY a Chest, Brookly AR

[edgy fable]

Basically. The event broke yesterday for everyone

[jagged prism]

aka after mainenance reset for everyone

[edgy fable]

Before that it is just "your RNG", or "your luck" or the opposite therefore

[edgy fable]

I had keys drops in the morning EST, it started in the afternoon

[jagged prism]

the game has a desire sensor built int. "i want X!" won't drop and you give up and next thing you know it rains X for you 😹

[edgy fable]

or around noon, not sure cuz I didn't play when more and more players reported it

[jagged prism]

yeah, no clue honestly. just seems like something that could've happened after the reset. i haven't been playing too much lately so something i definitely wouldn't have noticed

[edgy fable]

Unsure. But, they're aware and after the holidays it'll get fixed 👍

Plus the extension they mentioned, so all good

[jagged prism]

i wouldn't fault them to just extend a week and just apply the fix in next weeks maintenance

[jolly kettle]

Happy new year, thanks for the help and support in gameplay and when im stuck! nearly 1-2 hours left and i, we celebrate :).

[jagged prism]

for me i have a lot of time before the new years

[thick yarrow]

i have 3 hours before new years

[jagged prism]

11ish for me. long time 😹

[thick yarrow]

timezone difference, am i right XD

[buoyant pebble]

whats the best use case for extra green (set) gear? donate for expertise or deconstruct?

[thin oasis]

Always extract any attributes you don't have first.

Then donate to expertise, then decon

[jagged prism]

depends on the set, with countdown giving you a sheer amount you can deconstruct for materials if you've already gotten them proficient

[buoyant pebble]

thanks

[rare shuttle]

Just changed over to PlayStation and was wondering if it’s worth making a new account for this game again ?!

[thin oasis]

Well....if you changed over to playstation you have no choice

[rare shuttle]

I know is it worth playing the game? Is it still active players?

[thin oasis]

Yes

[jade dome]

It can be active but the grind will be real 🤣🤣🤣

[slate tusk]

So did they fix the krampus issue or did they just say it's ended a week early?

[rare shuttle]

Ahahah better strap in ain’t I 😂😂

[jade dome]

Yea if you want carry to 40 just let me know I can help out

[rare shuttle]

Im down !!

[jagged prism]

pins here shows a X post of them going to fix it and extend it

[jagged prism]

depending if you still pay for playstation plus for other reasons. you'll be saving money on Div 2 at least 😹

[rare shuttle]

Ofc I have it lol

[simple spoke]

bruh wtf the winter chest can drop regulus?!!

[jagged prism]

yes also Oreo and bearer

[simple spoke]

got the regulus on my third try holy moly

[jagged prism]

not sure how many i opened. got 2 back to back which i turned into components 😹

[simple spoke]

regulus is really love, but i think the drop rate for bearer is not high

[jagged prism]

8% on exclusive exotics then 33.3% between the 3 😹

[simple spoke]

yep, but no risk no fun 😂

[thin oasis]

The drop rate for eagle bearer from this event is EXTREMELY high

[jagged prism]

have had all 3, so it'd get crunched to components anyways

[simple spoke]

I really liked the winter skin

[simple spoke]

I already have it, but oreo could be nice if i can get it

[thin oasis]

You'll have to wait until they fix the event lol

[simple spoke]

yep no more keys left 😂

Today I tried the striker st.elmos build after a long time and it's still op

makes really fun

[jagged prism]

i swapped to a Equalizer and Salvo build. really fun, but no elmo for me

[simple spoke]

what was ur previous build?

[jagged prism]

probably the old standard ceska chest, but grupo mask. never a fan of coyotes either

[simple spoke]

ah ok, I like to play with fenris chest, never tried ceska before

[small spear]

ceska is a bit better

[jagged prism]

1 ceska gave nearly 10% chance. been up since resolve released

[simple spoke]

could be yes, I play with fenris for my elmo damage

[small spear]

i know, it's still better for elmo than fenris

[simple spoke]

so ceska better than fenris for elmo?

[small spear]

for most stuff, crit is better

[simple spoke]

maybe I should try this later

[small spear]

cuz you have a lot of weapon damage on your build already, fenris is like a drop in the water

[jagged prism]

tiny ripple effect drop in the water

[simple spoke]

ok I will try to farm ceska later, so with obliterate?

[small spear]

yeah that or equalizer

[simple spoke]

and with crit chance and crit damage drops yes?

[jagged prism]

if you're conserned about not having that extra AR damage, just go equalizer/salvo and your get 4% more crit damage, 10% rof and you still have your fenris buff

[simple spoke]

I think obliterate works more good with elmo

or makes more sense

[jagged prism]

no the point. you seem to be hesitant on losing your 1 Piece Fenris AR damage buff. 2 piece Unit allow gives AR damage

[simple spoke]

so what about GR9 as second weapon, is it still usable?

[small spear]

not really unless you have frenzy talent

[simple spoke]

yes GR9 always needed frenzy or fast hands

but i prefer frenzy for it

[small spear]

yeah if you know how to play with frenzy then it's already a good secondary, but that's even more reason not to use fenris cuz it doesn't benefit it

[simple spoke]

yep will farm ceska later, I just need luck with the rolls

could take a while

which rolls prefers ceska? crit rolls yes?

[small spear]

crit rolls yea

[simple spoke]

ok countdown should be fine

[small spear]

retaliation is also an option, basically control point rush that lets you farm targeted loot pretty quick

[jagged prism]

you know, i wish they'd give us some kind of Vendor for us to buy specific things with, but just make it extremely costly
want a Ceska chest with chance/damage/talent spend x of this and get it god rolled 😹

[simple spoke]

long time ago I had luck with a vendor

I could buy Orbit from it lol

[jagged prism]

never me, i always miss them
see a video fro last week reset and i'm like "I COULD'VE USED THAT!!!!"

[simple spoke]

I never knew vendors can sell exclusives, was surprised when I saw Orbit there

was funny

[jagged prism]

nods we tell people get in a clan with the clan vendor so you can get some stuff here and there. think there was a time Hollowman was sold there

[simple spoke]

thats really a good point

I think the permanent seasons in 2026 will get bigger

because of the anniversary

[jagged prism]

i dont' like pvp, but when i heard Claws out has a small percentage of pistol damage, i went in during Wyvern TL and got me my claws out and extracted it so i can have it red with hsd to complete my harvest HH build 😹

nah, will be the samish. 3-4 month span of seasons, but we might just get more events. halloween told them we loved it, reason we got the snow for christmas so to speak. maybe valentines will be fun this year 😹

[simple spoke]

do you know the website, where you can see what all the vendors are selling for a week? If not I can text you

[jagged prism]

yes, it's a pinned message here. probably not this channel but probably community or Build-Advice

[simple spoke]

wait I text you

[jagged prism]

don't need it

[simple spoke]

ah ok

[jagged prism]

i semi enjoy the hunt of just hoping to get what i need in game as is 😹

[simple spoke]

I hate pvp exlusives

pvp always with group is the best choice

when I play DZ it feels like I am playing Arc Raiders xD

[small spear]

fortunately unless they're syscor or yaahl, you can craft all the dz/named exclusive named items now

[simple spoke]

I play DZ only when there is a wished targeted loot

[jagged prism]

or get lucky with Named Caches 😹

[simple spoke]

nah never got lucky there 😂

[small spear]

may i ask which targeted loot you look? there's a common misconception that targeted loot affects the bighorn/EB etc. drops

[simple spoke]

It was Orbit for a long time me

[jagged prism]

sadly so true

[simple spoke]

but later I could buy it from the dz vendor

[jagged prism]

shame the DZ doesn't get Sys Corr or yaahl as targeted loot

[simple spoke]

yep yaahl is really difficult to get

[jagged prism]

i've gotten a pair of gloves when gloves was Target Loot

[small spear]

yeah, i got all the blueprints for the named items now, but you can play retaliation for them

[jagged prism]

or if you like to go brain dead Descent for them 😹

[small spear]

or descent if you like it for... some reason

[simple spoke]

or descent is a choice too

[small spear]

(i like it for some reason)

[simple spoke]

descent is not that boring, it makes fun

but it takes to many time

[small spear]

i've done loop 40 every season for the armpatch lol

i just hate that each time it's like 5 hours

[simple spoke]

40 wtf

[small spear]

yeah that's the last loop they give an armpatch for

[simple spoke]

never would have the patience for 40 man

[small spear]

that's why the real ones experience how boring it is

[jagged prism]

@small spear is it a different Patch each season?

[small spear]

yeah they just reskin the armpatch every season

[jagged prism]

<=never made it to 40, get way bored way before that and just bow out and go do more engaging things

[simple spoke]

40 is really to much man, but I respect him

it takes tooo many time

but the armpatch get buffed every season or how to understand that?

never reached 40

[small spear]

so they just take that generic looking template, slap on a visual that represents the current season and make that the armpatch

[lethal parcel]

[warm shell]

So at the crafting table the blueprint section tells you a chance on how exotics can drop. Is that the most accurate way to find them individually? Like for example Scorpio says "has a chance to drop by successfully defending territories from hyenas"

Or is that just for the blueprint of that weapon?

[serene solar]

That's for the Blueprint - iirc the Scorpio itself can be farmed from countdown exotic caches / targeted loot shotgun and has no special requirements

[hollow vessel]

is event fixed yet? cheers

[small frost]

it doesnt. i picked mine up randomly from exo caches

ya im about to log off soon probably until late midnight tonight so hny everyone 🍷 party it up~

[warm shell]

Makes sense would be too easy finding actual weapons. I already have one its cool 😀 . Thanks for teaching me lol

[violet delta]

Think i got my first scorp from a season cache, the 2nd one i got from a loot drop randomly

[fallow kraken]

Happy New Year Agents

Thxs!!

[hybrid viper]

Where am I suppose to donate supplies in Liberty call safe house?

[smoky marsh]

Why is this event still broken? Krampusluf still wont spawn

[hybrid viper]

It is acknowledged it is bugged

[rough sleet]

you don't donate at the safehouse, donate at a controlled CP within that district

[eager talon]

Is material donation also included in the 3x proficiency gain?

[hybrid viper]

For expertise should be.

[umbral oak]

Is the Christmas event still bugged or is it over over?

[rough sleet]

bugged

[umbral oak]

Not me just noticing the question asked like 15 minutes ago

[split terrace]

Bugged on Xbox also. Plus, the only place that my game lags (really bad) is the White House. I mention this because I have only had lag issues three times before, all during this event go figure.

[sour vector]

Happy New Year!
Auld Lang Syne intensifies

[simple spoke]

game laggs also in ps5 right now, with the new maintence it could be fixed

[grave timber]

Happy New year everyone and early new year too

[lavish wagon]

can you still get winter keys?

[thick yarrow]

only from krampus, they're fixing the issue

[sour void]

I just saw the Eagle Bearer skin on one of the ad pop-ups.

Hera CQR furniture is good, but what the hell are all the frills on the handguard? That just ruined it for me.

[kind veldt]

They apparently grow/expand when talent procs

[jagged prism]

YTer made some cringe click bait about Best Gun. i assumed it was a new unmentioned weapon people were getting. Then here they showed a picture of it for EB and was like ah a skin....why?!

[sour void]

YT, clickbait
I would be surprised, but all things considered... yeah...

[sour void]

They could have made it glow instead, but, egh...

[jagged prism]

yeah, i didn't click on it to watch it. and i tend to not really believe them as i feel i know better than to take their word and very few probably well clipped videos of them owning NPC's like they were story mode 😹

[sour void]

GTA click clickbaiters taught me to distrust anything with big arrows. Hasn't failed me yet.

And this guy needs to get his head checked if he's not using Striker or Tipping Scales for DPS.

[stone granite]

anyone running floor 10 for bighorn on PS?

[sour void]

@stone granite Try #lfg-playstation.

[jagged prism]

not me, i have a 3 and 4 but they're paper weights essentially. just do 1-9 on normal, before leaving elevator bump it to legendary. shouldn't really take that long if you can handle legendary content

[sour void]

man was I glad someone gifted me Bighorn all those years back, can't do Legendary without Blacklisters glitch

[stone granite]

@jagged prism oh im already on F10 farming legend. just at 12 runs now

[high wren]

well I hit the top of the summit and it's pretty uncool

[stone granite]

@sour void Danke

[high wren]

force me out of cover with artillery then one-shot me

[jagged prism]

was cool when it first released, but yeah it's really not all that anymore 😹

[stone granite]

im mainly just bored Af running by myself lol

[jagged prism]

have you tried GCRock to see if you can get anyone to join you? or any of the other streamers you watch?

[stone granite]

Honestly hadnt even crossed my mind

[rigid kindle]

hi, im a newbie and i dont know how to get new krampus bounty, i make the only bounty i haved and the spawning of new krampus minions stopped, someone knows how to get more krampus bountys?

[high wren]

and, like, I've literally steamrolled every boss on the way up here but these guys have me dead beofre I can even get a shot off at them

[high wren]

they broke it yesterday. event will be extended when it's fixed

[jagged prism]

as this server is pretty dead in teh LFG channels, I've seen people suggest trying that avenue

[kind veldt]

There was a surprise bug yesterda/today due timing bit tricky to fix

[rigid kindle]

i dont know that, ty c:

[jagged prism]

akin to Year 2000 that broke 1,000s if not millions of computers because going from 1999 to 2000 was just not possible for some odd reason. might be a similar thing to that event 😹

[stone granite]

the wife and I kept spawning lincoln and they were there. Also if you get one bounty, stay around the bounty area after completion, another squad seems to spawn right outside the doors.

[jagged prism]

or miscalulation on end date coded in 😹

[jagged prism]

dunno how many times i've had that happen and i try to go around and Krampuslauf Evaded bangs head on keyboard

[high wren]

what're the odds a backup call for this gets answered on NYE anyway?

[stone granite]

if you and i are thinking the same place, you dont have to take 16 stairscases back to the entrance, theres a closed door you can open that goes out to the street. they will be across the street in an alley

[jagged prism]

dunno if i'd be able to play with the loud fireworks starting early. kind of freaks me out every year as it almost sounds like they're outside my house directly firing them off

[stone granite]

i live out in the country, people are shooting guns and fireworks lol. i love it

[stone granite]

Ill answer lol

[high wren]

just cleared the room before them. ign same as here?

[stone granite]

PSN: Mr_Lux-Aeterma

[high wren]

damn there's no crossplay

[stone granite]

i wish

[high wren]

so i managed to dodge the opening salvo on my 3rd attempt, then they split up and I wiped the floor with them

[tranquil shard]

Getting a little tired of countdown freezing after the final mission

[high wren]

really I just had to survive long enough to get the striker stacks online

[tranquil shard]

I’ve run it five times tonight and 3 out of five I froze

[stone granite]

yea thats criteria for me to quit right there

[tranquil shard]

Yeah and I’d say it was my connection but the connection is fine I don’t get what’s happening

[jagged prism]

probably one of the many wonderful features the game produced

[tranquil shard]

Out here just trying to get to proficiency 30 leveling the remaining weapons and gear I have ..guess imma just do it with cps haha

[jagged prism]

well, time consuming bu there's retaliations too if you're doing the "select target loot", "obtain loot", "donate loot" for the proficiency

[full zinc]

weapons and skills are the biggest walls for proficiency leveling

[tranquil shard]

Yeah I could do those I didn’t think about that

[full zinc]

it may be a good time to craft and donate some things, especially with the 3x event

mat donations are 3x so im guessing actual item donations would be too

so like 7 donations of each type of improvised gear piece will net you 60 levels on one of those proficiency ranks

[tranquil shard]

I’m really close 27/30 and most the stuff I need to level is exotic weapons and skills I have one named gear I still need to level … it’s the claws out one … I had maxed out 9999 on all the materials to use … and I used them all on dz only/raid only/ and manhunt only weapons which is the stuff I don’t run so now I gotta do it the hard way haha

[full zinc]

oic

[tranquil shard]

It’s ok tho atleast i have all the things I need to level

[full zinc]

yup, ezpz

[tranquil shard]

I was 18/30 when the event started so I’m pretty lucky

Even if I don’t hit 30 before the event over it really helped

[full zinc]

you wont need everything leveled to hit 30 anyways. im still missing like 11 items but been maxed for a while

[tranquil shard]

Oh good to know that

[stone granite]

Bruh run 25 and no bighorn

[tranquil shard]

Means ill level the skills and the gear I don’t like during this event haha so I can never have to bother with them again haha

[tranquil shard]

25 summits ?

[stone granite]

yerrrr

i just got striga and sweet dreams double drop

[tranquil shard]

When I did that I used some strategy the gaming brigade guy showed in his YouTube it took me forever to get that gun.. just kept getting capacitors over and over

Good luck hope you get it soon

[mystic storm]

is the Kramps event still going? I haven't seen any all day.

[stone granite]

go to lincoln

high spawn chance

[mystic storm]

Thanks!

Happy New year 🎊🥳🎈

[drowsy elbow]

is it normal for this game to crash all the time in countdown? i swear every 1-2 completions i get a crash mid way through or at the end

[leaden pollen]

The game is just incredibly unstable in general right now.

[drowsy elbow]

That's pretty insane. I took a break for a year and I come back and it's just crash central on PC still. Very unfortunate.

[leaden pollen]

I play on PS5 and I, too, came back after a break and it Deltas frequently.

[south topaz]

don't open chest or take loot from it until someone takes it and they don't crash, some of them r bugged and trigger crash

[drowsy elbow]

I've never crashed from a chest it's always in combat lol it's absurd

[full zinc]

its actually been quite stable compared to othertimes when it was an actual problem. there was a hiccup when the season dropped that was mostly resolved... countdown unfortunately still has a couple crashes from time to time, mainly on lab when its a final objective, but what youre mentioning is kinda more than normal

i would verify files and do a restart on the pc

[low quartz]

Happy new year everyone

[south topaz]

delete cache folder from ubisoft folder under program files

[drowsy elbow]

I'll try that fingers crossed it works

[small frost]

i crashed 2 CDs in a row two nights ago. it's not just you

[drowsy elbow]

I'm honestly crashing everywhere not just countdown. Was doing the Brooklyn dlc and crashed like 4 times. Random free roam in DC and crashed multiple times.

[small frost]

i was randomly freeroaming woNY and it crashed while i was freeroaming. everywhere around DC is fine for me

[drowsy elbow]

I can't catch a break with this game. I'm good for a solid 45 mins and then it just nukes itself spontaneously. I have a higher end rig too so I don't know what could be the problem

[small frost]

then that tells me it's Ubi because I thought it was just my laptop that was slow and i got it beginning of covid

[full zinc]

what is the crash code?

[drowsy elbow]

Is there a place to check that? cause the game just freezes or it goes straight to desktop or it makes my monitors go black

[full zinc]

normally server connection issues with dump you too the start screen not usually ctd

im not sure where to get the crash report outside of what is displayed when soft crashed. are vid drivers up to date? directx 11 or 12?

[small frost]

literally what happens to me

[iron tide]

is the event back?

[drowsy elbow]

yeah my gpu drivers are up to date and im on dx11

[thick yarrow]

maybe upgrade to dx12 if you can

[simple spoke]

The game has also lags and shutters on consoles too. It worked always smooth and stable till now. 🤷🏻

[warm shell]

Can I just skip a certain legacy manhunt mission? I'm trying on normal and getting slaughtered and matchmaking won't find anyone 😅🤣

[small spear]

you're never forced to do them or do them in order

[simple spoke]

you just have to do them for the dailys or weeklys, otherwise you can skip them mate.

[leaden pollen]

Call for backup, matchmaking will never find people for Manhunts.

[warm shell]

Won't let me call for backup but I just opened party for anyone and someone joined me but we both are struggling 😂

[dire ravine]

Which manhunt

[warm shell]

Anderson but we gave up haha

Ran out of time too but got so close

[drowsy elbow]

that manhunt or whatever to get the tinkerer mask on master difficulty was hell lol. we had to have someone goin ballistic with the bittersweet exotic to keep us healed

[echo locust]

For the Anderson manhunt I used a drone and a sheild that allows for a main weapon and signature weapon to be used, I usually deploy the drone just to either distract bosses so you can get weakpoints or to dwindle the numbers. The sheild is really good because you get cornered a lot in that mission.

[warm shell]

Yeh I'm never trying it again i was only doing it to catch up on the story

[dense lichen]

Yo guys i want to ask about CC gearset not stacking
Is it bugged ?

Or i have to do some thing for it to stack

[drifting hare]

Hello, can somebody tell me please how I can see if the "Holliday Event" is activated? I think somehow I deactivated it as I cannot find the Kampus NPC anymore.. thank you 🙂

[hybrid ore]

@drifting hare Check the 📌 pinned message in this channel.

okay? Just read what rivens said

happy new year to you all

[simple spoke]

Funny, can't see my shd level ingame anymore

I think the game needs a maintenence asap

[jolly kettle]

There is nothing on server status and anouncements, news. But i saw something on twitter about the winter event whats the problem?

[simple spoke]

No more Krampus is spawning anymore

no keys, no bounties drops

[round socket]

Why no key.

[jolly kettle]

Ok. Hmmm maybe we donated to much keys pc over 1 mill. But. I thought we had some issues regarding event caches drop special gear..weapons.

[simple spoke]

true, got my regulus yesterday

[round socket]

PvP is unbalanced since years

[simple spoke]

yep, thats why I don't play DZ anymore

[round socket]

Its the reason why i delete it constantly

I play the PvP, bums door camp. I delete.

[simple spoke]

I mean I prefer PVE, but to get dz exclusives, I spent to much time for nothing

[round socket]

I main the PvP in this game, the PvE bores me to death

[simple spoke]

I play solo DZ but need to fight against a squad, so why should I continue to play it

so find the problem

matchmaking is kinda trash

[round socket]

I wipe squads, i think the PvP in this game is very unique but i hate how unbalanced it is

Conflict sucks too.

[simple spoke]

I was shd level about 5000 and got killed by an agent with 22000 shd level, that was my last dz

[full zinc]

only 22k

[simple spoke]

yes years ago

[round socket]

I don't pay attention to SHD because that's just a number

[simple spoke]

2-3 years ago

[simple spoke]

dz was like tarkov

only campers were at the exits, crazy 😂

[round socket]

Now they're at the entrancez

[simple spoke]

meanwhile it should feel like arc raiders lol

I am sure that feels like that

[round socket]

Arc is better tbh,

[full zinc]

just imagine how much complaining would happed everytime someone loses a build

[simple spoke]

yes, for sure it will get a pve mode too in the future

[round socket]

No.

[simple spoke]

true

[simple spoke]

hope so too, it is the most completed and released game since years

will not be easy to top arc raiders

[round socket]

Oink

[valid venture]

Yes, extending the promotion will help me when my vacation ends and I go back to work. 🤔🫣🤪

• It would be better to cancel the event and give all the rewards back to everyone.

[south topaz]

Giving reward to all would be easier for devs as well no need to fix it in new year time

[jagged prism]

so finished game = no new content for years to come?
think most companies are on the release asap to get money to continue development of their games

[simple spoke]

The game was about Arc Raiders 😄

i mean completed not finished sorry^^

[jagged prism]

yes, i read the conversation before posting that.
considering it's a multiplayer game i doubt it's "complete" probably has a bunch of exploits and bugs
but if by your standard that's Complete it's pretty bad if you ask me

then again, i'm playing a 10 year old game with a bunch of bugs it self and i'm content with hit as long as we get new content 😹

[simple spoke]

the communuty needed a good extraction shooter I think and tarkov was on beta since years

For me tarkov is still not good, to many bugs, crashes, cheater and much more

[jagged prism]

well, considering heartland got deleted so to speak, yeah i can imagine people were itching for a new game of sorts

[simple spoke]

and Arc Raiders did well in my opinion

but as an extraction shooter, this game is really good

[jagged prism]

i personally lost interest in PVP games
always will have cheaters in some shape or form and nothing really can be done about it as they'll just come back with a new account

[simple spoke]

but sometimes it feels bad, when you imagine the pve in this game is stronger than pvp

the arcs need a little bit some nerfs

[jagged prism]

well, this community is toxic when it comes to nerfs for both PVE and PVP. enough outcry and the devs cave and give in the pve community for stuff changed

[simple spoke]

what I can say is, arc raiders is much more pve friendlier than tarkov and that makes people loving the game like this

we will see how long embark can hold this popularity

[jagged prism]

although, i'm intersting in resurgence. haven't heard a peep about it for a long time so far 🤔

[simple spoke]

I played the closed beta and it worked really smooth on my redmi note 14 pro

[jagged prism]

from what i saw of the videos. seems like a div 1 enviroment with a few different things. pretty sure i saw a mortar turret once 🤔

[simple spoke]

yes right

the movement is a little bit bad, but I think that could be solved

[jagged prism]

would be neat if they looked beyond cell phones and tablets and let it be on handheld gaming consoles like the steamdeck and asus rog ally is it? and any other handhelds that's been coming out lately

[simple spoke]

automatic loot is also there in the game

[jagged prism]

but anywyas, we mead it through 365 days 😹
was sleeping and was woken up to loud fireworks and they finally stopped like 2-3 hours ago finally but i'm too awake to try and go back to sleep

[simple spoke]

which country? 😄

[jagged prism]

country is irrelevant where i live, the laws wouldn't apply
been like that for years and now i think it's just getting worse as the fireworks companies are getting better at what they do

that or i'm just getting more senstive to it
as a kid i loved the fireworks
now i loathe it 😹
just seems the explosions are getting louder and louder

[limber latch]

krampus isnt active again is it?

[kind veldt]

not yet

[jagged prism]

shame the twitter (x) channel is broken and doesn't give us the twitter posts 😢

[torpid iron]

Anyone tried Tinkerer with Determined and First Blood? Idk why it's not working!

First Blood doesn't work!

[pliant sentinel]

am i missing something or why is everyone in my countdown team using bell ringer

[south topaz]

Happy new year

[trim fog]

It counts as headshot dmg not a headshot kill which is required to start determined. Would be my guess

[pliant sentinel]

happy new year jarvis whats ur resolution for 3026

[icy fulcrum]

Hey guys...the iron lung is farmable if i put LMG's as target loot?

[pliant sentinel]

yes

[icy fulcrum]

nice, tyvm!

[simple spoke]

maybe tomorrow

[torpid iron]

Thanks for info 🙏

[south topaz]

Ur question's answer is that

People in cd r just celebrating new year

[simple spoke]

can someone join the game on ps5?

it gives me the delta error

[cedar mulch]

please td3 2026 xD

[ashen monolith]

At this point in gaming in 2025, I genuinely believe if and when they release a Division 3 it will be worse than this game.

I almost feel like I'd rather just have a remaster, lol.

[brazen fossil]

can anyone tell me how i can actually efficiently takedown the elite minigun guys

[thin oasis]

Shoot their ammo chain to stop them firing,

Shoot their backpack to directly damage their health without needing to break their armour

[rotund merlin]

Hey everyone, what's the best method to farm for the catalyst mask

I know it's in Brooklyn

[thin oasis]

The only way you can get it to drop is by completing the army terminal mission

Its a drop from the Marauder drone

[jagged prism]

the terminal mission probably more consistent as you can always reset the mission
i hear there's 1 particular Open World boss you can farm, but for me it's completely another set of chance if they spawn

[rotund merlin]

Ok

[iron tide]

event fixed yet?

i checked pins so i guess not

[jagged prism]

no clue, but i'd say probably not. would have to head to Twitter (X) to see if they posted anything more recent

[jagged prism]

when they announced, think most people said a 2027 release is probably more likely

[brazen fossil]

does anyone know how i can get the harvest

the pistol

[jagged prism]

for now? hope you get it in a stretch goal event or they enable the loot goblin so you can get it from him

[feral shadow]

Iv killed loot goblin at least 4 time in the last 2 days

[stuck hearth]

Div3 was announced in late 2023 lol. I would guess it won't be released for another two maybe three years.

[thin oasis]

It's being actively worked on and has it's own team. That's all we know at this point.

I wouldn't expect it before 2027

[stuck hearth]

Is it in pre-production? Or has it entered production even?

[dapper aspen]

As a returning player what is there to do

[brazen fossil]

how do i get the kard 40

[jagged prism]

yeha, but his loot isn't enabled so you're just killing him for fun at this point

[jagged prism]

Pistol Target Loot or Named caches. if you really want to play the lotto Legacy Manhunt Caches 😹

[brazen fossil]

thank you

also im trying to unlock the gunner specialisation and one of the challenges is called show me wade where i have to break the helmet of a boss before killing it and i did that and it didnt track

Our teams have identified the cause of the issue impacting the Winter Event and are working on a solution. We will share more information when we are ready to deploy the fix. Thanks for your patience.

[ashen monolith]

I've realized what I want for next season. Bows.
I'm so tired of those jackasses from the sewers mocking me for my inability to notch and/or fletch.
Plus I wanna be Hawkeye.

[cedar mulch]

you want to be run over by a snow plow?

[ashen monolith]

Don't threaten me with a good time.

[brazen fossil]

guys if theres a build using the harvest pistol with the determined talent can i substitute it for the prophet pistol with perfect determined

[high wren]

I miss the coat apparel slot from TD1

[unique summit]

Perfect determined isn't "bugged" like the normal determined talent. Perfect determined behaves in the intended way where you only get 1 free headshot and then need to land an actual headshot again.

[umbral oak]

I thought they fixed that though

[brazen fossil]

wait hows determined bugged

[unique summit]

So if you land a headshot determined says that the next shot is a guaranteed headshot, even if it's a body shot. But if your third shot is a body shot then it won't count as a headshot anymore. That's how it should work.

But it's bugged where even your third shot counts as a headshot. And fourth and fifth and so on.

[brazen fossil]

what the hell

[unique summit]

But perfect determined behaves like it's supposed to. It's only non-perfect determined that's bugged this way.

[brazen fossil]

ah i see

[unique summit]

That's why determined is so popular. As long as you can land a headshot kill every subsequent shot will be treated like a headshot and (with the right build) will one shot everything you shoot (for the most part).

[brazen fossil]

yeah i was looking into pistol builds and was wondering why everyones running determined

cause i assumed the perfect versions of talents are usually better

so i just need a pistol with determined to try this now

[unique summit]

You'll need the right build for it to work. Check this out:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NNLiB-SZH-LChI9gE18q-PdYGqHac4Gep9UQVUtg0as/edit?usp=sharing

Specifically this part:

As an alternative to the regulus, a 676 Magnum/Harvest with determined

[brazen fossil]

can i use the hunters fury stuff

[unique summit]

yea. it should be good enough for solo.

[brazen fossil]

i was running imminence armaments atm

[unique summit]

like 3pc? that should be fine. idk what's top tier right now for determined pistol builds but 3pc IA sounds right.

[brazen fossil]

yep 3pc

with memento cause i really dont have enough survivability

[unique summit]

tbh I've only ever used determined pistol headhunter during the zombie events

If I'm going to headhunt I might as well just use an MMR and it'll do waaay more damage

Or a rifle headhunter with 1886

[brazen fossil]

i just got the virginian

it feels really good

[jaunty haven]

determined handbaskets never goes oout of style

[sudden dune]

How are we all doing today

[brazen fossil]

guys does anyone know how to get the revolver drum mag

the fast reload one

[sudden dune]

Nope I not that far into the game yet sorry

[small spear]

the same way you get most blueprints

[uneven citrus]

Question I’ve taken a break and just came back the 1st scout mission i gotta clear 2 cps but do they have to be true sons controlled?

[small spear]

no

[ashen monolith]

If I said yes, would it motivate you to kill more True Sons? 😈

[ashen monolith]

Side mission reward.

[brazen fossil]

any particular side mission?

[small spear]

if you boosted straight to lv30 or 40 it's just in the blueprint pool

[ashen monolith]

Google will be better than me, but if you hover over the side mission it will show the reward it gives.

[small spear]

crafting table should also tell you what to do

[ashen monolith]

@brazen fossil
This might be correct, actually.
It seems to be a random reward from Level 3+ CPs.

[brazen fossil]

i havent boosted

[ashen monolith]

I think they just meant that's when you start getting blueprints from CPs.

[tender wave]

If you boost you get all the blueprints from side missions and perks automatically, but not the CP ones.

[clever plank]

Is the issue with the Winter Event solved?

[kind veldt]

not yet

they posted today about having solution

[hybrid ore]

^@clever plank Check the 📌 for details.

[clever plank]

Ok, thanks for the update, and yeah, i should have used my eyes 🥲

[ashen monolith]

To fix the event?

[icy fulcrum]

Hey guys...If i target Kneepads for loot i have a chance to drop Fox Prayer's or i can't get anymore?

[hybrid ore]

@icy fulcrum Yep, drops from anywhere, with a higher chance if you have Targeted Loot (TL).

Just run a Challenging Countdown with the brand as the TL, you'll get it fast.

[ivory stream]

Hey guys is Krampus over?

[kind veldt]

read pinned comment

[ivory stream]

Sorry still new to this server, where would that be?

[kind veldt]

discord by default has in the upper right corner

[ivory stream]

Thanks for that tip, found it!

[kind veldt]

for some unknown reason event kinda stopped they are working to fix it

might extended it if necessary

[ivory stream]

Gotcha, thanks @kind veldt Much appreciated!

[glossy moth]

Ok I’m convinced Refactor kneepads don’t drop with skill damage attribute

Done about 100 countdowns and not had a single one

[south topaz]

Craft it

[glossy moth]

In fact the kneepads hardly drop at all. Probably had about 15 in total, 4/5 had skill haste

[glossy moth]

Don’t have the blueprint

[kind veldt]

refactor has teh seas horse simbol?

yeah it's a werid one that half the pieces are armor and half are skill if i am not mistaken

[thick yarrow]

yeah but its mainly used as a healer gearset if you use skills like assault drone and assault turret

[edgy fable]

Find a pair with skill damage on it and roll the core to utility. There are several brand or gear sets that are like that

But for a Refactor build with Technician spec you should leave one core armor (or WD if you prefer that)

[icy fulcrum]

tyvm!!

[supple stream]

I think I missed a cinematic or a story beat somewhere cause... I hit 30 and then the Black Tusk were just... there and ||the President was just gone.||

I'm going through all their strongholds right now but I have zero idea who these dudes are.

[dull pawn]

Is division 2 worth it ? I got first one and picked up the second one fairly cheap is it worth to play that or just stick to 1 ?

[covert lava]

is there a blueprint for the vindicator exotic ?

[drowsy elbow]

the gameplay is a lot more balanced and you can run far far more builds than just 6 piece striker like div 1

youre trading more build diversity and better gameplay for game immersion so its really up to you. i play both of them

[kind veldt]

div2 has grown quite large and honestly into a very good game in my opinion, where div1 kinda just ended

[kind veldt]

i dont believe so at the moment

[dull pawn]

Is there nothing going for div 1 then, I’ve got both today at cheap price so would you say start the grind on the second one instead of wasting time on the first one ?

[rough sleet]

div1 is still a great game, and it's still got quite a few folks playing the pvp in dark zone, and survival for one....it's not DEAD by any means...so both are definitely worth playing I would say...

but as far as updates and additional content, it's dead in that sense....

[hybrid ore]

It should be noted that work on div1 is over, and has been for a long time.
The most it'll have is rotating Global Events.

[dull pawn]

So what would you recommend to start on? As I have no idea never played them before

[hybrid ore]

You can just skip to 2 if you want an actively developed game.

[kind veldt]

What i meant is that div1 exists but isnt getting new content, and theres enough design changes to justify 1 being different from 2

[hybrid ore]

Div1's design can feel very 2017, if that makes sense.
Where a lot of the div2 stuff has been modernised.

[rough sleet]

would probably do div2, you have all the time in the world (until servers get turned off) for div1...but div2 is active now, and still getting content

[hybrid ore]

The devs have confirmed that div1 will stay active as long as people are playing it.

[rough sleet]

\o/

[hybrid ore]

They put a lot of work into getting the Global Events for div1 working again, you can expect it around for a while.

[rough sleet]

good, cause I still like playing survival every now and then...nothing like putting the ac down to 40deg and turning off the lights for immersion, lol

[dull pawn]

If I play the second one will I still understand the story with out playing 1 ?

[rough sleet]

yeah, there's enough explanation and separation to understand what's going on in 2 separately. it's been awhile since i started fresh in 2 so unsure if ALL the details were really there explaning everything from 1, so might be lost on a few key names and plot lines reference to first game

[dull pawn]

Ok I see, so I will start on the second as that seems to be the active game, but jump on the 1st now and then and slowly build it up il make 2 my main grind 🙂

[hybrid ore]

Actually div2 is getting a Survival-like game mode, called "Survivors".
won't be an exact copy, and news about it is still trickling in.

[dull pawn]

Appreciate the feed back and the help, much appreciated guys 🙂

[rough sleet]

so excited for that one, looking forward to it

[dull pawn]

I paid £2 each for the division 1 and 2 😂

[hybrid ore]

The sheer amount of game you get for $2 is absurd.

[dull pawn]

Got it in cex

[hybrid ore]

What ever you have to do to make that money.

[dull pawn]

I had friends who play the division and some mentioned that 1 got a graphics upgrade so was just looking and saw them games at £2 each so just grabbed them, maybe they will go up in price who knows 🤔

[hybrid ore]

They regularly go on sale for 75% off, and div1 is just under a decade old.
I doubt a price raise is on the cards, but

[dull pawn]

Is division the same as ARC raiders like same concept find loot and extract ?

[rough sleet]

no extract needed outside of the DZ, and countdown game modes (unless I'm forgetting a game mode)

[dull pawn]

I see I’m guessing ARC Raiders is probably miles better but similar concept right ?

[rough sleet]

dz: pvpve so extraction required for that gear. countdown is only pve but a time game mode and extraction not really needed for the gear (it's not really extracting gear, it's extracting urself alive)...just bonus end and more credits/rewards if succesful

and not sure how arc raiders works, but will say that like in the dz, you do not lose currently owned or equipped gear. only the gear you've looted that has not been extracted yet can be lost, so it's not like players can take your favorite weapon you worked hard for...

[hybrid ore]

@winter heath You're looking for #lfg-xbox, GL Agent

[winter heath]

Thanks

[icy fulcrum]

You actually loose everything If you fail to extract.

What you looted in match and The gear you equipped for the match.

The only thing you keep is The itens in your safe pocket.

You can have UP to 3 safe pockets (depends on the augment you use - augments are like backpacks) and you cannot put weapons on The safe pockets.

In Arc Raiders, of course.

[rough sleet]

i thought that might be the case, so when he asked about extracting, figured it was good info to say in the division you're mostly safe...also losing everything, LOL. no thanks, tough luck there i guess...oof

[icy fulcrum]

Oh yeah...i really like Arc Raiders but It's tough sometimes lmao.

I Lost so many gear

Yesterday i Lost a purple backpack, purple weapon and blue Shield.

Purple are like HE.

And i Lost because i got body blocked from an NPC and died to a grenade from a player lmao.

[proud hazel]

Having the sole option of bringing a free loadout to the open world to extract already kills ur point of not being able to lose ur current gear

[rough sleet]

uhm, what?

[icy fulcrum]

Oh...you can have that.

You can Go on a Raid with a free loadout.

You get a random Basic weapon, Green Shield, Basic Backpack (no safe pockets) and 2 bandagens and 1 Shield recharger.

[proud hazel]

U can either bring ur own loadout, or bring a free basic loadout that the game provides u

[rough sleet]

ah, wasn't exactly a point i was trying to make or defending (I know nothing of arc raiders, he just mentioned it) so I just thought I'd mention you don't lose anything (gearwise) in DZ when pvping... (just so we're clear) wasn't defending or attacking either game. just making sure someone knew the way a gamemode worked

[proud hazel]

Im just pointing out something that wasnt accurate

[rough sleet]

again, nothing I said was incorrect. but thank you for clarifying how ark raiders works for my records (learning something new every day about that game), appreciate it.

[kind veldt]

at this point i just feel all extraction shooters are battle royales with extra steps to claim to something more than PVP but it's always just PVP fest

hunt showdown is a good example of similar system, even if you if you die and lose a character, most of characters come with a pretty poor but free loudout

[rough sleet]

pretty much, i enjoy extraction style game but I admit i SUCK at pvp so I just avoid them (and in division case, I just don't extract and just clear landmarks or help other players)

[kind veldt]

it's meant so game isnt so punishing so the gap between the most expensive gear player and someone new isnt a huge gap

[crimson mantle]

If I didn't have division 2, I probably would have bought arc raiders.

[hybrid ore]

The two games are in no way related, or even all that similar.

It's like comparing F.E.A.R. to battlefield 6 because they both have guns.

[toxic lily]

Hey at least you have proximity chat at ARC raiders. Even I put ISAC voices in my soundboard lol

[hybrid ore]

Not a feature I can really take advantage of, but I'm glad people enjoy it.

[rough sleet]

I use to love it in div1 survival. I use to sneak up on people and say stupid shit in prox chat to scare em. XD

[proud hazel]

The good thing about the proximity chat in arc raiders is that u can camouflage ur voice

[crimson mantle]

Y u all talking about arc raiders?

[proud hazel]

Ngl im tempted to buy it

[rough sleet]

Someone earlier asked if div was like arc raiders, so convo started explaining some differences is all

[hybrid ore]

This server likes to go on random tangents, we like to let it run for a little then guide it back to div2.

[rose sun]

how does one make rescue ops spawn still needing it from scout 2 and none have spawn yet i have all control points for a region

[rough sleet]

Rescue? Like hostage? Just random spawn afaik.

[rose sun]

guess im SOL then cause ive not seen one

[kind veldt]

travel to NY or other map and comeback

should refresh and new activities should pop up

[rough sleet]

I usually see them more in uncontrolled areas myself. (Unsure if area control affects the spawn rate of that particular activity)

[rose sun]

going on what 4 weeks now i think and not one

[hybrid ore]

Basically yep, the green activities more commonly spawn in areas that are "controlled" by you.
e.g. clear out the red stuff.

[dull pawn]

It was me as I’ve just got both division games and didn’t know which one to start playing as I’ve never played either of them, and then I was just asking for feed back in like if the division was similar to arc raiders as I thought it was the similar concept find loot and extract so it started form there

[hybrid ore]

Div1 is from 2017 and 2 is from 2019 originally, they're a little before the Extraction Shooter craze.

[round socket]

The PvP there is balanced and is pretty goof

[kind veldt]

The DZ works by having contaminated gear that you cant use, need to extract to get it cleaned and equip it, and if you die you lose the contaminated gear you had, you DONT lose gear you have equipped ever

[round socket]

Unless...

[hybrid ore]

Unless you take it off and drop it on the ground yourself.

[round socket]

Exactly

[hybrid ore]

What does that have to do with anything at all?

[round socket]

Plenty of unknown reasons.

[hybrid ore]

Name some.

[round socket]

Some.

[hybrid ore]

Okay that's enough out of you.

[dull pawn]

I do apologise if talking about other games not allowed but it was just me asking the question as I had a different idea of the division in this case I was thinking was like arc raiders and you guys provided me the info and then recommended which game to play and that answered all my questions I had but once again sorry for bringing arc raiders into it.

[hybrid ore]

Nah you're fine, they're a bit of a known troll.

[kind veldt]

the issue isnt asking about division, the issue is people to make this into a server about a different game, no worries

[rough sleet]

I really should hit up some DZ soon and do some pve, and eventually be killed by someone. Lol

[kind veldt]

plenty of times lots of people just start talking about the new FOTM and saying how everyone should just go there and buy that and play it over here

[shadow saffron]

Me 👀 jkjk lol im still sick af

[rough sleet]

Dude if Hurin gets wind of me being in DZ he will log on just to chant over my dead body.

[shadow saffron]

Lmao

[shadow plank]

Does the global modifier not work in countdown?

[simple spoke]

hello guys happy new year 🫶🏻

[ashen monolith]

Nope.

[shadow plank]

That sucks

[full zinc]

cd has its own set of countermeasures that turn into buffs as you deactivate them

[ashen monolith]

I think the trade-off of 7 other players is a bit better than 1 companion. 🤷‍♂️

[rough sleet]

Imagine if everyones companion came along XD that'd be a cluster....

[shadow plank]

oh idc about that, it's just the buffs it gives esp the 40% haz for backfire is really nice

[rocky bridge]

Have they fixed the Krampus bug?

[kind veldt]

event still off for the time being, more news soon

[thick yarrow]

for some countries, its 2016 and 2018 for everyone else

[hybrid ore]

Well, 2016 and 2019 actually, but I started 1 in 17' so dates get crossed.

[mild root]

can you get quickstep pistol still from countdown?

[jagged prism]

never could get it from countdown

was a halloween event Houndsman Bounty

[jagged prism]

they apparently understand what's breaking it at least

[rocky bridge]

That good well I do hope they fix it soon

[mild root]

so if we missed the event, at the moment, there is no way to get it?

[hybrid ore]

It'll be a part of the Stretch Goals event at the very least, so if it doesn't appear before that: wait for the end of this Season.

[jagged prism]

unless you find someone who happens to have the bounty and they're willing to give one up, hopefully be in the stretch goals like Rivens says and praying they add it to the loot goblin when then activate him as the bounties dropped from a new enemy they made that came from the loot goblins spawns in general

[sour void]

Really not feeling the buddy system in this season. Told Major Malfunction to fire a rocket at a swarm of Hyenas during a Retaliation.

He spent 10 seconds getting cozy up on some bus, in which I already blasted the group with my M32.

Master's gonna be pain - I miss Zealot god mode

[south topaz]

Do u know /invite command?

[wide prairie]

Do you guys think we will get another outfit for the stretched goals?

[hybrid ore]

Odds are decent.

[wide prairie]

Probably won’t be, but I’m lowkey hoping it’s more LMB gear

[hybrid ore]

If the story is going the way I think it will, I would not be shocked if we start to get a more rapid trickle of LMB-themed gear.

[grave timber]

I need more lmb style gear

But pretty sure we are going to get a true sons outfit for the manhunt mission this season

I just wish they added outfits from the old manhunts

[rotund quiver]

Only difference is that Arc Raiders is a true extraction shooter, anything you take with you, (yes even your loadout) will be lost upon death. Imagine grinding for months to get a St Elmos, and your PERFECT 6 piece gear build, you take it to the DZ, get killed, and lose it plus all the gear you're wearing, plus all the gear that you have picked up

[brazen fossil]

oh my god hotshot with a determined marksman rifle is so insane

im doing upto 15 million a shot ive never done that before

[lunar hare]

you can hit up to 27mil and more with other stuff

[brazen fossil]

i do want more survivability on this build though

[brazen fossil]

guys is it true that gunner gives armour on kill

[south topaz]

Yes 10%

Check the spec tree

[lilac elbow]

Maintenance for? Winter event coming back?

[hybrid ore]

The 📌 pinned message in this channel, and/or #news-and-announcements will be updated as we have info about it.

[south topaz]

We having maintenance?

[hybrid ore]

#server-status will have it listed if we have it.

[brazen fossil]

yeah maintenence starts in an hour

[hybrid ore]

It's only a day after a time when most devs aren't working, give it a bit to fix the issue.

Source?

[brazen fossil]

ingame

[south topaz]

Sometimes ingame timer starts early than announcement

[fair dirge]

Except it doesn't, but there's an in-game notice. Geez, devs, communicate this stuff.

[hybrid ore]

If you are correct, we can assume that it's a "not in the office" issue, which is fair.
no twitter post and no post on here does make it seem less likely though.

[south topaz]

I'm sure devs r writing the post as we speak

[fair dirge]

I'm looking at the in-game notice: "All servers closing for maintenance in: 50:43 Estimated downtime: 3 hours"

[south topaz]

Saw the screenshot its definitely patch update no visual glitch

[hybrid ore]

Not the first time we've had a late post about it, but we'll make do.

[fair dirge]

Ironically the event was already scheduled (in-game) to end on that date, so really, it hasn't been extended.

[hybrid ore]

The 6th was the OG end-date.

[fair dirge]

But that was always a week longer than they had posted in write ups about the event so 🤷‍♂️

Yeah, but in game it was not, so clearly the server side config was for the 13th. I mean, I am looking at the Winter Event in game now, and it says it ends in 1w 3d 23h.

[hybrid ore]

Feel free to direct any questions about downtime to the pin.
Okay I'm off in a bit, y'all behave today.

[trail coyote]

i just came back to the game, is there a way to get the quickstep pistol?

[lunar hare]

not with the winter event that ended too soon, they're working on a fix

[brazen fossil]

its coming back in a few hours

maintenence starts soon

[trim fog]

If someone has a houndsman bounty you can join them and there's a high chance to get one from the completion cache

[fair dirge]

Fix in 3 hours and 37 minutes hopefully. There's a maintenance coming.

[lunar hare]

oh yeah my bad I just read it on X

[chrome knot]

maybe this will help the delta 3 errors too

[buoyant pebble]

which winter event

[silver junco]

MIKE-1 😟 😠

[trail coyote]

wthanks!

[silver junco]

What happened to MIKE-1 again?😟

[ashen monolith]

God bless your optimism. 🙏

[simple spoke]

wait, as I saw yesterday, the event was already extended ingame to the 13th of January?? something is wrong there

[lunar hare]

no one cares bro

[south topaz]

That was visual bug event was always upto jan 6

[neat helm]

i will neve understand why they cant work from early in the morning these times they almost always chose is in prime time..so annoying. This could have been fixed from 04 to 07 or something when most ppl sleep but no seems they don't care or use common sense when setting those times.

[silver junco]

They're still drunk from the turn of the year.🤣 🤣 🤣

[simple spoke]

ok If you mean it was a bug, then it should be.

[lunar hare]

timezones are a thing btw

[mighty loom]

bonjour a tous , je vien d'arrivé , est ce que le serveur est en maintenanace ? le jeux ne s'ouvre pas ?

[quaint birch]

Servers should be back online in about 2 hours

[cerulean smelt]

Earlier I was looking to reconfig the shroud sniper rifle, I checked Inaya and the crafting station again and it looks like there isn’t one available for it. Is this a bug?

[ashen monolith]

How long ago did you earn Shroud?

[hollow hill]

This might be a bug, yes. My gf has encountered this issue as she just crafted her shroud and she didn't have the blueprint at all. It's been a few days and Inaya still doesn't have the blueprint. Apparently they didn't add the reconfigure blueprint to the pool for players after obtaining shroud without claiming it as a reward on last seasons track. It was tied to last season's reward tracks

Sadly for right now, you're going to have to hope for the best and try to craft one with DTTOC

Or maybe get one to drop with DTTOC

[pine field]

I noticed this when I crafted mine. Things still a blast to use tho

[cerulean smelt]

Crafted it a few days ago

[cerulean smelt]

Sweet thank you for the insight, it’s sad that I didn’t get one with DTTOC

Going to need to remake I guess ☠️

[hollow hill]

Yup it's a bug then. Girlfriend also crafted hers a few days ago. Hers came with crit chance or damage I believe

Personally I say for right now just use nemesis as placeholder. Nemesis is still good

[ashen monolith]

I was gonna suggest if it was super recent to just close the game and reopen it, but if it's been longer then Fifty is probably right and it's an unfortunate bug.

[cerulean smelt]

I can only hope along with the krampus fix they add it in haha

[hollow hill]

Highly doubt that. I am unsure if they're even aware it's an issue rn

[cerulean smelt]

Oof

[ashen monolith]

There's like 3 people still working on the game.

[hollow hill]

I'll have to check on the bug reports channel and see if it was mentioned

[hollow hill]

Way more than that but yes it is still a skeleton crew compared to most other titles

Most titles have a good 30 - 60 something people working on it... This one has maybe at most 10 - 15 people

[ashen monolith]

The "Ubisoft Special".

[cerulean smelt]

Last question for you guys, for Bullet King and Bluescreen is Crit Chance or Dmg to Amor better?

[hollow hill]

Unfortunately yeah Ubisoft is not the best at maintaining their games

[ashen monolith]

I prefer DtA on LMGs, but everyone else here will tell you CHC.

[hollow hill]

Entirely depends on your build. If you have enough CHC, DTA is fine. If you're on a fairly crit starved build, CHC. Now, not everything has armor but everything can be killed with crits. Taking CHC allows you to take more CHD on your builds which still raise your damage

Bluescreen 3rd attribute needs to be CHC because blue has 0 crit mods. BK has a 10 or 15 CHC mod (pretty sure it's 15%)

[cerulean smelt]

Gotcha, sounds good, thanks for your guys help and input!

[ashen monolith]

Pretty sure For Honor is running on one college student they have trapped in a townhouse basement.

[hollow hill]

Pestilence 3rd attribute needs to be CHC as well since that also has no crit mods

[fallow kraken]

hello there are the pc servers down ?

[ashen monolith]

So is the werewolf update coming with Survivors? Has that been officially announced?

[ashen monolith]

Maintenance for the next 1½-2 hours.

[fallow kraken]

ok thanks Roger

[hollow hill]

#td2-general-chat message

The #server-status channel never got updated but the devs are fixing and extending the winter event. It's not often we get updates this time of the week but I'd rather they fix it now than delay the event for even longer

People have lives and if they missed part of the event during the holidays from life, they deserve a chance to play too. Meanwhile the rest of us will continue to play normally

[silk vigil]

Are enemies on console behave differently compared to PC?
Because im watching some youtubers fighting them up close and it takes them several busines days to shoot back or just 1 guy shooting while the other just stood there

[ashen monolith]

To be fair, this game is like 90% FoMO now.
Not exclusive to this title, but still annoying.

[ashen monolith]

I think it's just a combination of dumb NPC AI mixed with CC and spawn knowledge, unless you're talking about very specific behavior.

[finite ferry]

Amy idea on how long it will last?

[ashen monolith]

The event or maintenance?

[hollow hill]

They're extending the event to end on January 13th

[finite ferry]

Main

[hollow hill]

As for the maintenance, it'll be done in about 2 hours

[ashen monolith]

1½ hours.

[lost sage]

i cant play on pc ubisoft ... maintence complete ? -.-

[finite ferry]

Ok that's good thanks guys

[ashen monolith]

Unless you're on Playstation, in which case always add an extra hour.

[hollow hill]

Still have about 2 hours before it's finished

[lost sage]

happy bad new year xD

[finite ferry]

Sucks 2 be ps rn

[finite ferry]

Yeah starting of strong with maintenance

[fallow kraken]

werewolf ? anyone know when survivors maybe get revealed ?

[hollow hill]

I'd rather they fix the issues now than have a mass influx of people come here and cry the winter event "no work worky. Dead game boo"

Happens every single time they try to fix or slightly change something

[ashen monolith]

Yeah, the werewolf update.
They were supposed to add it a long time ago, but it got shifted after the Skeleton Warriors expansion got changed.

[finite ferry]

I think on the website there's a timeline of future events but I cant remember how 2 get there

[molten lance]

Hello gyus

[hollow hill]

Sup

[lost sage]

the problem is... in TD2 discord **server-status ** There is the last entry from December 18 regarding maintenance.

[ashen monolith]

Hey gyu. 👋

[molten lance]

Can you log in to the game from your computer? Or is that also an error?

[ashen monolith]

Well then it must not be real. 🤷‍♂️

[hollow hill]

Yeah the #server-status channel is supposed to be updated. Problem is the twitter bot broke and doesn't post anymore. They always announce their maintenance on twitter

[lost sage]

sure

[hollow hill]

#td2-general-chat message

Game is offline , they're fixing the event

[ashen monolith]

Surely there's another bot they could use, right?
That's hardly an exclusive feature for Discord these days.

[molten lance]

Thenks)

[hollow hill]

There is but you know how tight things are around here

[hexed hound]

Can't play ether on ps4

[ashen monolith]

Those Discord bots don't come cheap.

[hollow hill]

Personally I'd rather they just put out an announcement in game for every failed attempt to log in

So those trying to log in will see the failure, the game will give them a message saying hey maintenance is going on, come back later. We won't have confused people come running to here

[lost sage]

Weird... It's 2026 and they're still using technology as an excuse.^^

[fallow kraken]

are there already 2 werewolf hunter masks that you can get ?

[ashen monolith]

Technically isn't Mike-1 always a server-side issue?
Either means the servers are down for maintenance or the bombs went off.

[fallow kraken]

didnt played the brooklyn dlc yet ! Want to start it today

[hearty sorrel]

no, that makes SENSE

[hollow hill]

You're right on that, Mike errors means the servers are offline, your system is offline, or you can't connect to the servers for whatever reason

[lost sage]

Yes... Tencent should provide better servers, haha.

[ashen monolith]

No, like werewolves.
Not sure if we'll just be fighting them or we'll be able to utilize lycanthropy yet. Hoping for both. 🤞

[hollow hill]

They gave announcements in game over the delta errors not long ago. It kept things quiet here

[hexed hound]

Well I hope they can get it fixed soon as I was half way through Brooklyn DLC

[hollow hill]

It'll be done roughly in about 2 hours

[hexed hound]

Ok

[molten lance]

I bought Brooklyn as a result of those problems🤣

[hollow hill]

For anybody who needs an estimated timeframe:

#td2-general-chat message

[lost sage]

What shall we play in the meantime?

[hearty sorrel]

I just started playing again, went through the hastle of linking my steam account to my ubisoft account, then took a little break. When I came back, got the mike-01 and thought: oh, wonderful. everything working as intended. Checked the server status page, saw everything was ok, and figured maybe unlinking would help.

[molten lance]

Do you know how much longer the maintenance will take?

[hollow hill]

You may have just bricked your division account from steam by unlinking, assuming you use the steam platform as the source where the game was purchased

[fallow kraken]

would be awsome if survivors would feature the DC but also the D2 New York Map !

[hollow hill]

#td2-general-chat message

This post displays what time it'll be done for you assuming time zones

[hearty sorrel]

nah, I bought the game on ubisoft years and years ago

[hollow hill]

Should be fine then

[fallow kraken]

do you guys think that crossplay would work for Division 2 ? I dont know if the servers are good for this

[hearty sorrel]

insert Mr Incredibe gif: We'll get there when we get there

[hollow hill]

The devs have denied crossplay for the last 7 years. It's never gonna happen

[ashen monolith]

It's okay.
Pretty short, and while I found the earlier storylines to be pretty dry and "Tom Clancy" as is, I can't say I'm a fan of the Forspoken-ish character dialogue and writing in the newer content. A lot of the "quirky" banter had me rolling my eyes into orbit, or just wondering if there wasn't literally anything more interesting we could be focused on.

[fallow kraken]

I must say I liked the Warlords of New York Story much much more than the main game !

[hearty sorrel]

what was crazy to me was steam had to also install the game, even though it was already installed with ubisoft.

PEAK DEVELOPER EFFICIENCY

[hollow hill]

Playing BFB the first time was fun. Playing it again made me realize that I was blinded by the fact it was new. I mainly just ignored the dialogue and played the missions for fun. Then when I started paying attention to the character side of it and the story, it felt too shallow. 15 dollars for a map, 4 control points and 5 missions with 2 new skills isn't 100% worth it

The first mission was awesome. Then the whole "disable turrets" got annoying quickly. Now I just tell every player that's doing BFB rn to just use a decoy

[ashen monolith]

Same. 👍
Feels like they were gonna subvert the whole idea of the Division, which I was excited for, but then it just kinda goes, "The Black Tusk again!" and it feels like nothing is different from before WoNY except now there's more characters posing for pictures no one is taking.

[hollow hill]

He's not wrong. While the BFB map is absolutely stunning, the content for it was a bit of a letdown tbh

[worldly moss]

For Faye Lau!!!

[hollow hill]

I don't even touch WONY anymore. Except when I'm bored

[ashen monolith]

Yeah, while I'm glad there's more character focus (don't get me started on how pretty much every NPC from the base game just existed to either die in the mission they were introduced in or become a human statue that opens a store), a lot of it feels like the same writing team that brought us such great characters and dialogue as Watchdogs 2.

[hollow hill]

Likely has something to do with your steam manifest file. Whenever div has an update, I update the game on 1 of my machines and then I use an external drive and copy the game + steam manifest file. I will then delete the game from my other machines, copy it over from the external, and replace the steam manifest file. Allows me to skip updates entirely across many machines

[hollow hill]

Bro I loved watchdogs 2, such a good title. But it definitely didn't age well considering the game is now 10 years old

[minor oriole]

td2 down ?

[hollow hill]

Maintenance > #td2-general-chat message

[ashen monolith]

I was gonna be more surprised at how weird it is nothing really seemed to get addressed about her big reveal, but then I remembered this is the game where Kelso just tells you to let Espinoza die only to find out later they were good friends.

[hollow hill]

It'll be back up in 1 hour give or take. Expect roadblocks so possibly longer

[ashen monolith]

Those characters were insufferable and I will not be moved, but the game was surprisingly solid (minus the occasional Ubisoft... Ubisofting).

There has got to be a spot between "quirky hipster Scooby Gang" and "boring army man in movies your dad falls asleep to on TV", but it seems like it's harder for studios to hit than you'd think.

[hollow hill]

Looking back, I'm realizing just now that is exactly how watch dogs 2 felt 💀

At the time tho for me, the dialogue was great and the characters actually felt like they were your allies. Now doing my 2nd walk thru, it felt like they were just friends you didn't know but still called your friends

[ashen monolith]

Just like real life, after you do 1 activity with another person you are inextricably linked together by the most powerful of bonds.

...you don't instantly become best friends and reveal all your secrets to each other after every first shift with your coworkers?

[hollow hill]

Definitely not wrong on that

I did notice with division 2, at least the base game, the voice acting was solid. The DLCs were okay but the writing felt rushed. The base game tho the writing felt so immersive

Then say for other Ubi titles, like watchdogs 1 and watchdogs 2, it felt like 2 totally different vibes. WD1 hit the vigilante feel right on the head. WD2 yeah you're right, it felt like a hipster hacker Scooby doo crew

[ashen monolith]

That's how I felt going from TD2 and WoNY to BfB and all subsequent manhunt scenes.

[hollow hill]

But it makes sense tho the game did take place in San Francisco so the energy is totally different from say rundown Chicago. They still could've done the vigilante thing again but mellowed it out a touch since they were still a group of cyber criminals but they were still young too

[dull condor]

Hello, happy new year everyone. Does anyone have Mike-01 except me?

[ashen monolith]

I didn't hate Theo Parnell when he arrived, but I can't help but notice the whole thing has gotten very Buffy the Vampire Slayer the longer and more prominent his role has become.

[ashen monolith]

Maintenance for another hour.

[dull condor]

Oh, there was no info in server status. Okay, thank you. (:

[ashen monolith]

That channel is useless, unfortunately.

[dull condor]

I see, I was there when last post showed up. XD

[hollow hill]

I felt like he rounded out more and started becoming way more moodier. Less from his usual character we saw in WONY. This one in BFB felt more like he was a completely different person that had theos voice

WONY version of him was a snub faced prick who had the "I'm right, you're wrong" mentality

He was way more tricky too. Now in BFB they basically turned him into Baird from Gears of War but if he was black with glasses and not a buffed up guy with a chainsaw gun

[plucky bridge]

Isn't the situation urgent right now?
Why aren't X's tweets or server maintenance information announced here?
What is this place for?

[dull condor]

Just Mike-01 enjoying his work. XD

[hollow hill]

Mom said it's Mike's turn to play 😂

[ashen monolith]

People to tell you to use Strikers.

[hollow hill]

Yeah bro if not enough people use strikers they shut the servers down 🙏

What's going on rn is maintenance> #td2-general-chat message

[ashen monolith]

Pretty sure some people believe that. 😅

[dull condor]

This is the first time i see that people hate Striker. XD

Can u tell me morę about it? Isn’t it a good item set for solo heroic?

[ashen monolith]

"Hate" is a strong word.
It's just boring. 🤷‍♂️

[hollow hill]

People already believe the devs can just make the game magically work with cross platform when it's not even possible rn

[hollow hill]

People find striker a bit boring because it's one of the only builds that gets stuff done efficiently

[lime path]

🤣🤣

[hollow hill]

I have 18.5k SHD and about 2k hours synced into this title, striker has exhausted me that I have to play anything other than it most of the time

[dull condor]

Oh, I get it. Im at thinking about build right now, have seen somę videos and saw some website builds and tought that it’s too op

[hollow hill]

I've been enjoying sniping lately with nemesis that's for sure

Hitting for 53m headshots and deleting named bosses in 4 man groups never gets old

Shroud I can hit even higher but meh I need my nemesis practice for pvp

[silk vigil]

Do share the build

[ashen monolith]

It's ridiculously OP for how little... nothing is required.
It might as well just be a switch you flip that makes you do more damage.

[hollow hill]

4 piece hotshot, chainkiller chest, airaldi backpack

OR

Punch drunk mask
Chainkiller chest
Imminence Armaments holster (or Habsburg with red core, it's a unicorn)
The gift backpack
Contractors gloves
Fox's prayer kneepads

You can use an Airaldi holster too for the second part

2 piece Habsburg would likely be better so if you have 2 unicorn Habsburg pieces, specifically holster and kneepads, you can replace both

[silk vigil]

BP talent?

[thorn wharf]

I also like to use Ninjabackpack instead of Vigilance

[remote pecan]

Gift backpack = Named Talent = Perfect Vigilance

[lime path]

If anyone feel a build or playstyle is getting boring try something else. I think the most boring thing is to run the exact same build or playstyle all the time.

[hollow hill]

Perfect Vigilance

[valid venture]

??? MIKE-01 ??? - xbox

#td2-general-chat message

[ashen monolith]

Just wait 'til you hit Mike-2.

[dire ravine]

Maintenance to fix Krampus check pins

[hollow hill]

When is it my turn for my Krampus to be fixed 😔

[silk vigil]

This is the official server, they should post the announcement here :/

[tranquil maple]

lol its ubisoft^^

[silk vigil]

Fair enuff

[hollow hill]

Twitter bot to post it broke so no updates get posted BUUUUT some goobers here have twitter so they post the links for us

#td2-general-chat message

[dire ravine]

And always check pins

[hollow hill]

Idk why anyone would want twitter but hey they help us by having it

[remote pecan]

again the #division-tweets is just a relay channel to the official Ubisoft Discord server and the Twitter bot for fetching tweets is a 50/50 chance, just like ingame
we just have bad rng

[silk vigil]

you guys have been here long enough, has there been an event that give out so much stuff like the current one?

[lime path]

Yes. But not intentionally

[remote pecan]

further
cross posting is forbidden 😅

[worldly moss]

Nope this is a first for raid exclusives

[ashen monolith]

Discord is like Reddit. No matter how "official" it is, everything is still run by like ½ a dozen random people.

[remote pecan]

nah, but such a high chance for raid exotics
stretch goals had them, but much much smaller chance

[lime path]

People got crazy amount of exotics components some seasons ago.

[dire ravine]

Nothing close to this. There's season stretch goals but the drops much higher in this event

[lime path]

It would be more rewarding to get 20 exotic components for expertise than content locked exotics. I dont see how giving those out will make players explore more parts of the game.

[thorn wharf]

I wonder what the appeal of stretch goals this season will be.

[dire ravine]

Hoping for something actually good

[remote pecan]

EB skin must be sold 😄

[lime path]

Yeah pay to skin

[ashen monolith]

It has specifically done the opposite, lol.
Probably just going to make it harder to find raid groups, if anything. 🤷‍♂️

[dire ravine]

I'm full on exotic components. Been trying to think of ridiculous weapons to upgrade

[worldly moss]

The EB skin actually sucks tbh

[lime path]

If you are full i expect you also already have all the content locked exotic weapons?

[south topaz]

I have 1.9k exo components

So i drop every exotic to players who join me

[ashen monolith]

Are you alright?

[remote pecan]

I'm not happy about giving out raid exotics like candy either, but yeah how do you want to sell a skins to a weapon that "no one" has acquired
and I'd liked more reasons to play raids not less

[dire ravine]

Ye don't really need anything

[kind veldt]

i mean at this point i wouldnt be surprised if less people have vindicator than EB

[worldly moss]

Maybe they revamp the raids with new exotics to tease the masses...

[kind veldt]

simply because they forgot

[ashen monolith]

I would bet money on it.

[south topaz]

Vindicator on stretch goal when 😂

[ashen monolith]

Does anyone like Descent?
I've never been able to matchmake for it.

[thorn wharf]

I think that Raids/Incursions in their current state deserve to die - they should have reworked raids to not require voice coordination.

[remote pecan]

and it sucks, EB is a good weapon, maybe not S, but A tier for sure

[dire ravine]

I have vindactor just cuz I had to have everything

[ashen monolith]

Or at least make VOIP function.
It's hilarious how bad the in-game comms are.

[thorn wharf]

Yeah. Having to bum around discord servers to find a group wasn't a joy even when raids just released.

[lime path]

I disagree strongly. Its a team effort and bring together the craziest messes of people and experiences.

[remote pecan]

I played with ppl without voice, but that requires a good team and all people know what they're doing
and there are enough guides out there now that anyone could learn them

[dire ravine]

Im one of the few that actually like it

[toxic moth]

Are the servers down? Cuz im getting the Mike-01 error code

[remote pecan]

they should have something like a party finder in other games, like Lost Ark

[ashen monolith]

Personally I don't mind callouts being a mechanic because I'm not one of those "no comms" folks, but I shouldn't have to turn literally every other audio level down by 90% and boost my volume 200% to hear anything.

[south topaz]

I played 3 raid just to get raid guns without voice but It's good new players don't have to do it if they don't like it

[remote pecan]

yea dunno about the VOIP on div2 console, but cross play on other games seem a mess
lots of ps5 players with open mic where I constantly hear their game sounds and my Halo days were full off Halo dads with screaming kids in the background

[ashen monolith]

There's a difference between "not liking" something and literally never engaging with it.

[lime path]

Its the controller mic. They dont use a headset.

[dire ravine]

Just don't ever use voip in dz

[lost sage]

is TD1 good for TD2 server maintence ?

[remote pecan]

I know, still not a reason to have the mic setup badly

[south topaz]

Last time i checked less than 10k people on pc ever completed at least 3 iron horse (regulus project)

[remote pecan]

games which allow you to play cross-platform

[ashen monolith]

Sorry, I misunderstood. Thought you were talking about this game and got very confused.

[buoyant pebble]

servers up yet?

[dire ravine]

And most ps players do use a headset. Nobody uses the mic in the controller

[remote pecan]

don't worry

[ashen monolith]

Yes.

[remote pecan]

trust 😅

[opaque hedge]

Not yet 🙁

[pine field]

Would be really cool for them to do cross play

[ashen monolith]

No, I'm lying!
Stop reacting!

[plucky ice]

Im in lets gooooo

[opaque hedge]

PC Servers up now

[molten lance]

Nice

[near ember]

Long af maintenance since day 1 for div 2, 7y later still the same lol

[ashen monolith]

That's right, I never lied.
It was a test.

[remote pecan]

and shame for the devs to make open mic as the default option

[ashen monolith]

?

That's not the game, that's Playstation.
Unless you change it, the controller mic is just on when the console starts.

[lost sage]

server UP for pc in germany ❤️

[near ember]

Lol once i said that maintenance over hahaha

[south topaz]

Let's go

[ashen monolith]

Playstation is up. 👍

[remote pecan]

generally speaking of games with open mic voip
my mic on pc isn't "hardware" muted either, but push-to-talk should be the default option for games

[thorn wharf]

I've invited and mentored 2 friends in August. They are SHD 3000+ now, we have cleared every Legendary, Master missions etc.
I can't for the life of me to get them to do raids - the requirement to bum around to find 5 more people (also willing to do raids with 2 new players) is the roadblock. They also don't really want to communicate with other people via Voice - which I totally get, honestly.
I really like how Diablo 4 did their raids - no voice needed at all, but cooperation still required.

Whoop whoop happy new year agents

[ashen monolith]

There is no world you could convince me in that it would be better to message a person for their Discord and start an infinite-length voice chat in a third party app than just unmuting my mic for a second to go, "You need to shoot the box."

[dire ravine]

? There's literally voip in div. And warns you before turning it on in division settings

I guess you guys never go in dz

[remote pecan]

yea, less and less incentive for players to play the raid, bad rewards, now exclusive exotics drop like candy elsewhere
that means less players even want to play the raids

directly the opposite what I should be

what about a raid weekly project, with really good rewards

[dire ravine]

That's a good idea

[tropic sentinel]

Incursion needs 0 comms, in raids you can use text chat on couple bosses and nothing elsewhere.

[south topaz]

That's why incursion has matchmaking and using that matchmaking i got ouro when i was lvl 200

[thorn wharf]

We did the Incursion. I still had to communicate via in-game voice chat with the 4th person because the mechanics are not forgiving.
Raids - yeah, good luck using text chat trying to explain every encounter and get people with no to medium experience do things right.

If you're talking about experienced players - sure, thats now what I was talking about.

[tropic sentinel]

Randoms with 0 common sense should not be a determinant what content game needs.

[thorn wharf]

Game needs content that fits its player base.

[stuck hearth]

Massive might need to figure out what content actually is. And for who that content is made for. I for one don't care about combat modifiers for example.

[tropic sentinel]

Yeah and many players want more incursions/raids.

[thorn wharf]

That is true, they should do that.
They still can't figure out who they are trying to target ever since Div1.

[thorn wharf]

Nah, most don't. Your claim is as good as mine.

[south topaz]

first bounty gave 5 keys after maintenance

[stuck hearth]

Ye. Div1 was advertised as a survival shooter, and sold a huge amount based on that. When it was clear it was just a shooter with no survival mechanics at all, people fled. But adding more survival to the core game design could force a lojal fanbase to flee as well. I'm very curious about what Div3 will look like lol

[hollow hill]

Servers back up?

[manic aurora]

server back up but still getting delta errors

[hybrid ore]

The Event is back up and the server's are online!

[thin oasis]

Did they extend the end date?

[rotund quiver]

Our whole countdown group just delta'd

dang!

[unique summit]

Can confirm. Krampus ambushers are dropping keys again.

[hybrid ore]

@thin oasis

[manic aurora]

whats with the delta's

[thin oasis]

So an additional week

[thin oasis]

Servers literally just came back online and thousands are trying to log in at once. It'll settle

[manic aurora]

i have never tgotten so many back to back like this

[rotund quiver]

Must be a R & G thing, i just finished my second group before I started this countdown, didn't get a single key or bounty

[thin oasis]

Its an 8% chance from each kill, same as before

[hybrid ore]

I've never seen RNG spelt like that before.

[thin oasis]

Lmao me neither

Random and Number?

[rotund quiver]

Yeah, I don't know why my phone auto-correct that....

[hybrid ore]

Random and Generator, sounds like a law firm from a YA novel.

[thin oasis]

Sounds like some sort of hip fashion store. R&G

[hollow hill]

R & G = Rogue & Gold 🤣

[hybrid ore]

must....resist making the joke about all builds being half effectiveness off.

[rotund quiver]

I'm ok with that!

[hybrid ore]

The twitter post listed the extended date out to the 13th of January, which this pretty much hits perfectly.

[fair dirge]

This end date is exactly the same as it was before the maintenance, FYI.

[broken temple]

I'm so happy, I'll be finally able to play this winter event back from vacation (I thought I had only 24h to do it, this gives me a few more days 🙂

[serene solar]

Oh no.. 10 more days with Krampuslauf ._.

couldnt they have given everyone 50 keys and let it run out? 😄

[hybrid ore]

It's 13 days, and this is further than it was supposed to be originally.

With the Bounty cheesing, how exactly could it "run out"? People can effectively gain an infinite number.
