td2-general-chat

[rocky prawn]

That’s a good one

[jagged prism]

i think with white tusk they should make them have strategic routes honestly

[feral knoll]

nice, in a single run in countdown, 98% of the drops are dupes of sets I have already used for experience, lol.

[wild hearth]

what is the lore of white tusk

[rain flare]

anyone wanna boost me to lvl 40?

[jagged prism]

why not buy a level 40 boost?

[fathom maple]

The legends say the White Tusk recruit the ones who spam a lot of grenades

[rain flare]

i dont have it

[jagged prism]

why i mentioned "buy"

[rain flare]

because i dont have money

[jagged prism]

you'll be hard pressed finding someone kind enough to carry you through content i'm afraid

[rain flare]

thats crazy

[rocky prawn]

If you're new and want to level up fast, you're missing out on all the knowledge that comes with playing this game. Take it easy and learn.

[rain flare]

tthats a fair point

[jagged prism]

that's why i said you'd be hard pressed in someone helping you to 40. i could but that'd be it. you got questions i'll tell you to ask here and peace out

buddy and i before wony and level 40 boost. did this from level 30 in wony around 30ish minutes. i'd boost him and his agent(s) we'd swap and he'd boost my agent(s) so like 1 hour and half each

[rain flare]

idrk what im here for, i quit all my games, i really like this game, i really likee the pvp vids on yt

it just gets slow and boring when i play bymself and levels are slow

[jagged prism]

we both did our 1-40 grind. we already knew most of the game and we'd ready a striker build for a fresh new 40 agent to get from wony to dc as you were locked in wony to level

[rain flare]

i have 3k hours on div 1 on xbox, recently got a pc, and getting back into div. all i did was pvp on div 1

i agree with what the other guy said, just play the game, learn, etc

[jagged prism]

the time consuming part in this process? waiting for activities to spawn so they can be level 40 to tackle the last mission in wony as you needed to be level 40 to run it. so we sat on our thumbs watching for enemy actvities to spawn 😹

[rain flare]

i dont have any dlc's

js the standard game, i also feel super behind cause were in Y8 S1 and im lvl 22 😭

also not sure what to do. i mean should i complete the main missions and side missions before i worry about endgame? or what, there is just so much more to do vs div 1

[fathom maple]

That doesnt Matter, now everything is free except some skills (this r behind WONY/BFB DLC)

Also dont care about the year and season, u can get almost everything added

And do all missions, u cant go to endgame before level 40

[merry sluice]

Just focus on the your current progress to Lvl 40 and finishing the campaign.

[rocky prawn]

I lost 5-6 years of progress in TD2 (I played it on Xbox at first and quit). I understand that you feel like you're behind, but when you're willing to learn, you reach the level of many, and even being SHD level higher than others, you're better than them.

[fathom maple]

And in case u buy a DLC, WONY have way more content than BFB, so in case u can only buy one buy WONY, BFB is more like completist thing

[rain flare]

thank you guys

also where can i go to find more div 2 pc friends? cause lfg people keep ignoring me

[fathom maple]

Join GCrock discord server, is better for lfg

[jagged prism]

WONY gives you 4 skills, 1 named chest. BFB gives you 1 skill, 1 named AR and 1 exotic mask

[ember bone]

i wish i had the hyenas redeemed set 😭

[fathom maple]

Also one more thing, start doing the strat of what to do first with what u have Available in the map, sounds like is nothing but is going to help u in endgame

Ik is soon to tell u but when u reach level 40 u r going to be stressed with all the things u can do

So that thing can help u in the future, level 39 and below is a world and level 40 is a complete different world

[jagged prism]

@rain flare i was just informed. playing resurgence on mobile gets you a level 40 boost for div 2

[rain flare]

dang

i might just play to lvl 40 so im not clueless at level 40

[raven latch]

bro these Black tush retals aint dropping nun i ran so many today and got 0 blueprints lmao

at least today

[jagged prism]

what's wrong with white tush or brown or the in between white, brown or black tush?

[soft basin]

any news about the new named holster from the update notes that just isnt in the game?

[jagged prism]

yeah, escalation wasn't friendly with me either. noone in my party got a prototype drop at t4 😭

[soft basin]

ok I've discovered why the named holster doesnt exist, its actually a backpack lol

[rain flare]

i will be playing 2 hours tmrw, 24 hours sunday and 8 hours monday. maybe ill be lvl 40 by then

[soft basin]

it definitely says named holster in the update notes on steam, might wanna fix that

[raven latch]

I Meant tusk i was typing fast mid games

mb lol

[jagged prism]

oh i know what you meant. i just wanted to have fun with it 😹

[raven latch]

game gave me eagle bear blueprint tho so it made up for my hours of the same grind

[raven latch]

ik dont worry

and its a god rolled eagle bear time for bed haha

[jagged prism]

in your half sleep state you mark it as junk and dismantle it. goto sleep and wake up looking for it and don't remember you turned it into component confetti

unless of course you meant you got the blueprint and crafted it so you just shrug it off and figure a few retals and you'll have another one, but not god rolled

[fickle edge]

New exotic pistol drops at any difficulty or only master climax mission?

[soft basin]

would imagine only the master climax mission for this season

[jagged prism]

states it in the patch notes no?

[soft basin]

also says the bulldog backpack is a holster in the patch notes

[jagged prism]

"MASTER CLIMAX MISSION
Successfully completing the Climax mission on any difficulty for the first time will guarantee the Whiplash Exotic Pistol as a special reward.
After that, Whiplash can still drop from the mission, but it’s no longer guaranteed. The higher the difficulty, the better your chances of getting it again.
Whiplash
Exotic Pistol Talent Faster Than Reloading
Having this weapon holstered for 5s reloads and primes it. While primed, swapping to this weapon reloads you Primary and Secondary weapons and grants +20% Rate of Fire and +50% Weapon Damage until its magazine is emptied.
Reloading or swapping from this weapon before its magazine is emptied will remove its stat bonuses.
Weapon Mods:
Optics: +10% Critical Damage
Underbarrel: +50% Swap Speed
Magazine: + 10% Critical Chance"

[jagged prism]

well, we did have that tempest oops too 😹

[soft basin]

cant assume the patch notes are always right when it comes to ubisoft ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jagged prism]

someone quickly run the iron horse manhunt and see if they get that exotic pistol dropped in it 😹

[fickle edge]

Anyone here beat the elite kill squad solo on heroic retaliation with 4 directives and the season modifier?

[jagged prism]

challenging yourself are we?
think i killed them 2 times so far but died to them or black tusk in general due to poor placement of them spawning

[fresh fog]

hi, a bit new to this game, is that normal to have 1.5% drop chance (for prototype) on highest difficulty and noone complain ? like its normal for you ? the hell

[kind veldt]

the drop appears to be from any enemy, adn the rates have been a hot topic

[jagged prism]

Public Test Server it was way worse 😹

[feral knoll]

bro half the chat has been complaining.

that said, improvements are coming.

[fresh fog]

first time i see that in a game

[feral knoll]

side note, countdown seems to be dropping multiples of the same set when selecting gear, so if you're using it for expertise gain, it appears to be prioritising previously leveled gear.

selecting specifc brand sets seems to work better.

[fresh fog]

actually doing Escal and giving all the loot to expertise, will try CD and see if its more fast

also Escalation is meant to be played solo ? whats the point nerfing token when you're in a group ?

[undone timber]

3 of you aren't paying for it

[fresh fog]

indeed

i'd rather pay to enter and get full reward tho

[opaque jolt]

is there still a way to get quickstep or will i just forever be the slowest person in countdown? lol

[feral knoll]

there is a bounty that can be shared for it

[hybrid ore]

@opaque jolt You can find help with the bounty over in #lfg-pc, GL Agent

[opaque jolt]

thank you both 😄

[polar thorn]

I guess legendary tidal is nightmare for me

[robust linden]

Any way to get the harrier pride anymore?

[hybrid ore]

@robust linden Just any backpack TL location.

it's in the genearl pool.

[robust linden]

Oh neat.

[fickle edge]

Didn't know what they were the first time and got exploded and surrounded in less than 5 seconds 😂

I'll probably remove the modifier and some directives before starting them

[hybrid ore]

I ran a single BT retal, got Team 9 to spawn in, then realised they spawned well outside of the playable area, so I had to take potshots at them for ages because one just would not come any closer.

never change West Potomac Retals, never change.

[worldly mulch]

elite kill squad keeps having one meaniehead run so far away and angers the alpha in me.

[hybrid ore]

"angers the alpha in me" is honestly one of the funniest things I've ever heard.

just something about it is so well paced for comedy.

its like the Goofy yell.

[worldly mulch]

retreating to give inconvenience to division agents is in their strategies rawrrrrr

[silk palm]

I am trying to get the vile and carthasis mask. Is the boss level 10 summit a good farm for that?

[obsidian storm]

Just wanted to ask if anyone has upgraded any of their weapons to prototype and had issues with attributes rerolling randomly.

I had just converted my Lexington to prototype and was surprised with a fully max god rolled weapon (felt like the rng gods finally rewarded me). Only to play a retaliation, respawn at the boo with only 1 attribute maxed out. 😔

[hybrid ore]

Summit is only good for farming those if you a) do the reset and kill stuff very quickly, and b) have the right TL+buckets of Directives.

It gets really boring really fast, I'd suggest just doing regular TL stuff. Especially focus on Retaliations right now.

[tawny trail]

How to lvl up global modifiers

[warm minnow]

It’s visual bug prob since getting a maxed out piece via upgrade is low i heard

[hybrid ore]

Equip them and play stuff.

[worldly mulch]

back to back to back black tusk retaliations are epic and awesome except when the elite unalive squad has one member that retreats

[hybrid ore]

relog, it fixes the weirdness apparently.

[hybrid ore]

you can say kill, it's fine.

[exotic halo]

What is up with ubisoft lately with their services down to the point I gotta restart my PC everytime?

They didn't feed their IT hamsters and interns on time?

[feral knoll]

New update, things will break, it just is the way it is.

[exotic halo]

FAAAAAHHH

[pliant sentinel]

my new fine china plates arrived fine

[feral knoll]

lol. I am somewhat pragmatic. Stuff will be fixed, not everything will be perfect, is what it is. I can either be really frustrated 24/7 or just play what I can for the time being.

[pliant sentinel]

i think imma throw a temper tantrum and flail my legs up like a baby

[feral knoll]

yes, I've had camera gear arrive fine too. that is a sample size of one, however as a friend has had gear arrive damaged.

[pliant sentinel]

that actually hurt me even tho it wasnt me

[sour void]

Just completed Legendary Tidal Basin

I'd rather have my neck bitten by a bear trap

So. Many. Elite Black Tusk

[feral knoll]

how good is it when everything rushes 24/7

[weak edge]

Can anyone tell me how to farm Ongoing directive BPs? I am missing them

[worldly marsh]

i wouldnt suppose anyone would still have one of those bounties that i can get the whiplash pistol from?

[sour void]

???

The Climax mission ain't even out yet!

[worldly marsh]

yeaaa so i totally meant Quickstep lmaooo

[sour void]

Most GS blueprints can be found in Level 3 Control Points, but I'm not sure if Ongoing Directive is exempt.

[sour void]

Oh, well, check the PC LFG. I'm sure some people have a spare Houndsman bounty.

[worldly marsh]

sweeeeet ty

[sour void]

why haven't they put this in a recent or upcoming event I'll never know

might as well make it standard issue for all agents at this point

[hybrid ore]

You're not here during a downtime though.

[sour void]

Blegh. It makes Fieser and his toy train look tame

[pliant sentinel]

i was busy fishing

[sour void]

Wonder if the climax mission involves us fighting in the Washington International Airport...?

[thick scaffold]

Guys where’s my birdie’s bag blueprint I got from squad 9?

[sour void]

Check the Exotics section at the crafting table. Should be in the backpacks section.

[thick scaffold]

It ain’t there

Might have to check vendor when she restocks

[sour void]

Odd...

[thick scaffold]

I’ll prey in 3 days it’s there in the vendor

[sick thicket]

is all your builds being rolled back suboptimized a visual bug?

[vagrant pecan]

Tier 10 rogues makes me say some very bad words

[wise basalt]

what is btsu firmware used for?

[pliant sentinel]

buying modifiers

[hybrid ore]

"darn", and possibly "oh bother".

maybe even...... "meanie"

[wintry pasture]

I just found out ikia is leaving divison 2 damn bruh I didnt know it was this bad

[wise basalt]

where is the recombine bench? WH lobby? standing right in front of the vendor, that's the lobby no?

[soft basin]

to the right of specialisations if you mean the modifier shop

[opal torrent]

Im at 99 for a black tusk retal and ive done like 4 bounties why isnt it giving me one?

[vagrant pecan]

Something like that

[soft basin]

I found just regular activities triggers them every time for me (also you cant trigger new ones if you already have a different one red)

[humble epoch]

how can i get ninjabike backpack

[soft basin]

rikers killsquads for the blueprint or just the regular exotic lootpool I think

[wise basalt]

sigh, great I have to now decipher what all these modifiers mean, who has time for that?

[cobalt dove]

Any snipers that promotes body shots? I don’t like aiming

[soft basin]

any with determined probably

[edgy fable]

Determined talent

[cobalt dove]

But the talent needs to have at least one headshot, which I refuse to do

[edgy fable]

Lmao

[brazen elm]

Lmao

[edgy fable]

Maybe don't snipe then 😂

[pure saffron]

players that refuse ....

[soft basin]

kinda out of luck then, if you dont wanna headshot whatsoever then maybe the precision weapon class isnt for you

[edgy fable]

Find someone with a Houndsman bounty they can share with you. Ask here in your platform's LFG channel, join the GCROCK discord or the Division 2 Community discord to LFG there.

[coral musk]

have they disclosed any plans of letting players get all the modifiers this season?

I have things I want to try but physically can't, because not enough points

[gaunt vortex]

delta 03 keep showing? anyone has same problem now?

[pure saffron]

you get the points to buy them from the things you do in the Journey stuff

[coral musk]

there's literally not enough points to buy everything

[feral knoll]

You can trade Black tusk tokens.

Vendor next to specialisation if you've not seen it.

[coral musk]

guys

you physically, do not have enough tokens, to buy everything

you are 1910 points short, even from doing journey missions 3-8 in their entirety

I'm asking, is there a way to get more?

there's 2800 tokens worth of stuff left for me to buy, and I only have 890 tokens possible to earn still

I just want to know, have they said anything, or is there any way, to get more

[feral knoll]

Seasonal journey and Scouts, according to release notes.

[fluid loom]

Any date for crossplay yet?

[feral knoll]

No. Later this year is all we know.

[edgy fable]

No, at some point during Y8 was last official info

[dire flower]

Should I save scouts and journey for stretch goals?

[coral musk]

scouts, thank you

[feral knoll]

Yep np, I had to go look.

[oblique peak]

Yeah its official I absolutely hate escalation and prototype gear

[feral knoll]

Day two and it's DOA huh.

[sour void]

More like three hours in.

[oblique peak]

@feral knoll It needs to be

[pure saffron]

currently in agreement until I can optimize it

[oblique peak]

It literally just brings back the worst parts of division 1

[dire flower]

Should I save scouts and journey for stretch goals?

[pure saffron]

I am

all that juicy Seasonal XP

[feral knoll]

I'm not spending much time with escalations simply because it needs some work. I suppose I could hate play for hours on end but what would be the point.

[dire flower]

Yup I came back in January after a 4-5 year hiatus and made the mistake of doing my scouts first from last season, not making the same mistakes now

[pure saffron]

building up the proto cores

[tropic breach]

does Proficieny XP event includes double the XP amount when donating mats/items/equips through grinding countdown to level up expertise?

[feral knoll]

I'm doing journey (but not all challenges). Saving scouts for later.

[zealous hawk]

so ive gotten 2 overdogs to drop. how come the bp to reconfigure my spare isnt available to buy from inaya? i just got a shocker punch to drop and the bp was available........

[oblique peak]

@feral knoll But do you not see how ridiculous that is??? These devs release a whole new gear tier thats underbaked and not needed lock it behing abysmal rng stacked on rng and endlessly scaling sponges

How are they seriously just repeating 10 year old mistakes

[pure saffron]

Just don't claim the journey's and save the Manhunt till the final week, PLUS the hope the TEXTILES for 50 lvls returns

[feral knoll]

No I don't. I am not going to get upset and angry at shit I can neither change or control. We know improvements are coming. A bit of patience and being pragmatic rather than trying to smash out end game in the first couple days.

[polar thorn]

while I've been running countdown for almost 50 times, countless exotic cache and still no overdogs

[zealous hawk]

been farming priority obj to get mine

idk wher i got the first from weeks ago. a cache ithink

so is it cuz they didnt "drop" i cant buy the BP? i got em from priority obj and a cache

[polar thorn]

wdym buy bp?

you need to get it from Hyena retaliation for sure

[hallow lion]

honest question , why would you want to reconfigure them anyway? There is no point in that, just optimize them, the rolls don't change

[polar thorn]

it does, it gives cheaper option for godrolled

optimizing it would cost a fortune, unless you're stacked af.

[feral knoll]

Technically re-rolling exotics can reduce material cost more than the input cost to roll. That said it eats exotic cores per time.

[polar thorn]

eh, we always get trash exotic in the end

[zealous hawk]

o wow i didnt know u couild optimize exos wowwwwww yea tahts actually better for me tho

[hallow lion]

wouldn't say fortune, but still using an exo comp is a lot more valuable than using all the other optimizing ressources, especially since it isn't guranteed you get higher rolls

[zealous hawk]

i was relying on getting doubles then reconfiging them

[hallow lion]

you're welcome xD

[zealous hawk]

if i had low rolls it would not be worth it but im like a percent away from caps on all stats

[polar thorn]

I mean, you can farm exotic from priority objectives, countdown tokens, weekly missions

because you use 1 exotic comp per reconfigure

[feral knoll]

Tinkering workbench, doesn't require blueprint.

[polar thorn]

I've played like 2 weeks now? I got like 50 exo comp

[hallow lion]

yes you can, but it still slower than farming or crafting other mats, especially since you need those comps for more important exos to reroll or expertise

[polar thorn]

you donate exotic for expertise!?

[feral knoll]

Also, I've played for years but never realised the legs of BTSU hounds are a weak point until a few weeks ago. I mean it makes sense but you know.

[pure saffron]

you can but why waste the exo comp?

[feral knoll]

Also shooting actual dogs and animals in retaliation will reduce the timer, so there you go.

[hallow lion]

whos talking about donating, you need exo comps for upgrading your items, it was nerfed this season but still 45 for one item is not "nothing"

[polar thorn]

I only use exo comp for reconfigure, nothing else.

[hallow lion]

bruh xD

[polar thorn]

the only thing I need rn is the damn overdogs

[zealous hawk]

so i just fight cleaner bosses in NY for the cleaner assessment resource to optimize my gloves?

[hallow lion]

crafting is more efficient or doing bountys if you really want to farm them

[zealous hawk]

how do i get the BP for that resource

[hallow lion]

Control Points on 3 or 4

and a lot of luck

as a Tip for the Future, never just go and farm special ressources, do other stuff and farm them passivly. It's kinda hard to explain but e.g. playing while a global event is active gets you stars which you can then use to purchase chests with ressources. Same for playing Countdown. It's very inefficient just farming ressources

[unreal otter]

Are control points bugged right now or something? I'm unable to fire any flares.

[tranquil shard]

The ravenous blue prints .. do you get it for completing black tusk rentals or taking black tusk control points after failed rentals

[hallow lion]

BT Invasion can block you firing you flare, is there a "Blockade" in that area, blocking your settlement?

[hallow lion]

doing retaliations

[tranquil shard]

Ok the wording made me wonder what they meant so it’s black tusk retal completions got it

[unreal otter]

I don't believe I see anything like that. I'm in West Potomac Park anyways.

[hallow lion]

then look at the area where campus is

[unreal otter]

Hmm Campus looks fine to me as well.

[hallow lion]

then idk

[brazen nest]

Does anyone have escalation bug on them

Like you activate it and the timer doesn’t pop up and it doesn’t seem to actually go for escalation

[jagged zealot]

if i wanted to get the rykers tactical assesmtent blueprint. do i need to do rykers control points or just any

[lunar hare]

any

[winter kestrel]

question: what's the point of running a raid? looks like Countdown but linear to me, and the wiki + other sources aren't very helpful

[lunar hare]

if its your FTC you can do them for a chance of their ex-exclusives from the end crate and bosses

but since Black Tusk retaliations now have a chance of dropping their crafting blueprints from Kill Squads, they are kinda pointless unless you do them for speedrunning purposes

[hybrid ore]

They are planning on adding "new" rewards of some kind to the Raids/Incursions, on top of the Prototype Cache.

no info yet, but I'd expect it to be valuable.

[toxic vapor]

Man...that army terminal mission in Brooklyn is impossible to do solo lol. That laser marauder just melts you

[weary python]

alot of the missions kinda require a duo at least, lol

since you take ALL the damage solo and cant revive (at least, not without the skill)

[winter kestrel]

FTC = first time completion?

[lunar hare]

yes

[weary python]

when theres two, someone can focus on taking all the damage whilst the other deals the damage and does the objectives ;p

btw, they fixed the projects completing yet?

or how long does it usually take them to get a hotfix out post patch?

[swift badge]

Is anyone else getting small lag spikes or is it just me😭

[topaz mauve]

anyone with hound bounty willing to help me get pistol

[weary python]

its an issue brought in by the recent patch i think

[swift badge]

Thank you I had to make sure it wasn’t my internet

[edgy fable]

Can try this
#unofficial-troubleshooting message

[weary python]

or at least, im experiencing weird hangups and things that cause my skills to break

its not lag, its some kind of coding issue

probably some specific trigger for it

like a function shared amongst certain skills

[swift badge]

Just gonna take a break till it’s fixed was about to but the season pass too

[amber kayak]

wait am i stupid
expertise says theres 472 total items you can earn proficiency on
each rank requires 200 proficiency ranks, and you can get 10 per item, so 20 fully maxed items per rank
so that means getting to 30 requires 600 maxxed items
huh?

[weary python]

never paid much attention to the exact numbers myself but id assume that its not a 1-1 conversion from proficiency to expertise?

theyre not exactly big on UX, inconsistency is kinda their thing

[feral knoll]

remember that gear sets count per set,

[edgy fable]

The requirements change at some point

[amber kayak]

im going off of the big thing off of the number ranks that says

Proficient
74/472

[amber kayak]

is there a place i can find where the rank requirements are from 1-30

[edgy fable]

I don't have any bookmarks on hand for this

[lavish herald]

So is the ravenous bugged right now or are the 59 rerolls trying to and failing to get DTOC simply the game hating me

[hybrid ore]

Each roll is entirely random. You could technically never get dtooc.

[edgy fable]

Been there with my first Eagle Bearer. Sometimes it's just like that

[hybrid ore]

I crafted over 250 grupo holsters in order to get one with skill haste/damage as defaults, and still managed to only get haste/status.

[lavish herald]

That does not make me feel better about my predicament TwT

Pain :3

[elfin hazel]

I've spent 83 components on a chatterbox for rate of fire before 💀

[lavish herald]

So give up now, noted.

[elfin hazel]

that or keep trying

[hybrid ore]

On the other side: I rolled my Regulus once and got a maxed dtooc.
and didn't even have to farm for the Regulus, since stretch goal.

[lavish herald]

Eh fair, but that isn’t dramatic enough

[lavish herald]

I’m itching for cross play to get added so I don’t have to farm another regulus, that was a nightmare

[hybrid ore]

Just a fair warning: crossplay is being added some time this year, but it is just crossplay, and not crosssave/progression.

[eternal tinsel]

I don't see any comments about maintenance but my game says "Server Shutdown Imminent". Anyone know how long the outage will be?

[lavish herald]

I meant cross save, idk why I said play TwT

[elfin hazel]

it's just the server instance you're on you should be able to relog into another server that's up

[hybrid ore]

Yeah sorry, no cross-save coming at all.

[keen lily]

Anyone else having issues completing the weekly project? Bounties and named kills are not counting

[hybrid ore]

@keen lily I've heard a rumour that if you end all Agitation in your Retal menu, it can progress.

[steady willow]

servers go down again?

[feral knoll]

nope

[edgy fable]

#td2-general-chat message

[thick scaffold]

what drops "automated defences parts"?

[edgy fable]

Idk if they can drop from BT Retaliations now, but you used to be able to only craft those with Broken SHD Watches

[pliant sentinel]

thats it, white tusk retaliation.

[thick scaffold]

nvm

[lunar hare]

and those have like 6 possible craft options lmao

[edgy fable]

Yeah plenty choices

[sacred spruce]

can protos drop gear sets like strikers?

[pliant sentinel]

everything except exotics

[vital cave]

I think so ye since you can upgrade them to prototype

[sacred spruce]

has anyone gotten a strikers proto drop 👀

[lunar hare]

do u know how hard it is to get a unicorn piece? genuine question*

[vital cave]

What’s that if you don’t mind me asking I have seen and heard that word a lot

[sacred spruce]

a piece with best stats

[vital cave]

So godroll

Or perfect drop

[lunar hare]

a unicorn is basically a brand piece that has to drop with specific attributes and/or talents when the core doesn't match the other cores in the build
Say Lengmo is blue core'd and you want double crit, that's a unicorn. Blue core'd brands have lower chances of getting red attributes

[vital cave]

Ohhh that’s interesting thanks

[sacred spruce]

but no not rly i think dropping a strikers isnt that huge of a deal

[edgy fable]

From Escalations?

Prototype Striker's with a good roll?

[lunar hare]

rarer than unicorns 😭

[sacred spruce]

no one said a good roll im just saying a proto strikers piece any

[lunar hare]

oh nah, it can drop yeah

[vital cave]

It can but you have to sell your soul to farm

[edgy fable]

The chances are very, very low

[feral knoll]

all proto gear drops are a very low % chance, so it's RNG for the most part.

[edgy fable]

There are like 35 brand sets plus almost a similar amount of gear sets in this game. Each has six pieces. Good luck

[fickle edge]

how do i get mats to upgrade expertise 30 gear?

is it through escalation?

[hybrid ore]

Think of actual proto drops as a way to get the cores, not so much a piece you actually want.

[feral knoll]

given there is no targetting, it's a pretty large pool. Massive have indicated they are looking at adding daily loot rotation to match up with existing mission rotation, they didn't have time prior to update. Collecting cores is probably the most useful thing at present; will come in handy once the season progresses and improvements come in.

[broken temple]

Hello, does anyone know why the escalation tokens and the new modifyers currency aren't shared between characters ? it does not make sense to me

[edgy fable]

I really don't get it. The devs said they wanted to make loot drops more interesting and valuable again.

Reality is: after a bunch of Escalation runs you finally get one piece of proto gear to drop. But hey, it's a fkn trash item from a useless brand. Then you deconstruct it to get the core that you have to then use to upgrade gear of your own.

Makes no fkn sense to me

There's no sweet talking it

[boreal wedge]

10+ proto drops from that mission that got striker on their loot table, no striker 😄

[agile kettle]

How about retail matchmaking?
When I want to do retal as a leader then Im waiting for someone, nobody comes….

If you wanna join random faction retal, it’s ok but it’s a kinda problem when you are leader

[feral knoll]

I'll give them time to work on the season; game has been out for years, waiting a few weeks for a bunch of improvements, for me, is no big deal. I am not impressed by the current state, but it is not a static thing by any means. That said, I am hopeful given it isn't just being steamrolled that it has potential. Needs work. We shall see.

[winged kiln]

whats the best way in game to matchmake for escalation?

[hybrid ore]

Retal Matchmaking is world difficulty based, most folks are going to be running it on Heroic, some on Chall'.
I'd recommend focusing on those difficulties.

or just "call for backup" and let the people know who join that you want to run one.

[edgy fable]

Doing the very same. Otherwise I wouldn't be here anymore

[agile kettle]

My difficulty is Heroic, when I start matchmaking, I get someone’s request but if I want to play my session, I reject it then waiting, nobody comes

[hybrid ore]

Matchmaking is joining someone else, at least at first.
If you want to be the host, "call for backup".

[agile kettle]

Ok, that’s the problem

[polar thorn]

i wonder if retaliation has more chance to drop overdogs gloves

[feral knoll]

Wise. ❤️

[broken temple]

Hi, has anyone else lost all his escalation tokens since yesterday ?

[sacred spruce]

not my experience they drop 5 ish per mission

[hybrid ore]

@polar thorn You have a good chance of getting the blueprint from running Hyena Retaliations, but otherwise it's about the same as any TL source.
Kill Squads all drop 1 TL though, so it's definitely worth farming Retals a bit.

[hybrid ore]

It varies on the Tier.

[edgy fable]

Good for you 😄

[sacred spruce]

oh okay i mean if you play t0 and expect t10 drops thats kinda ehh but i understand boosting drops for all

[polar thorn]

does difficulty affect the drop chance for the overdogs glove?

[edgy fable]

That's not the case

[hybrid ore]

Inf they know, they're saying it's silly to expect that.

[sacred spruce]

what tier do you play to get no drops for a few runs though

[edgy fable]

Tier 6 so far

[pliant sentinel]

got no proto drops and im on t5

[hollow escarp]

full deck!!

[fickle edge]

honestly id wait until they actually patch escalation to do it

[feral knoll]

Once something like a loot rotation is in, chasing gear will make more sense.

[plain basin]

Could use some advice on expertise 30. I saw some posts saying go in to Countdown with equipment you haven't mastered. When choosing the loot, select a brand you haven't mastered and swap the equipment over for the next run (even if they're not god rolls etc).

Am I reading that right or is there a smarter way to do this?

[feral knoll]

If you run challenging the enemy scale means you don't really need maxed out gear. If you run gear not yet mastered, and target gear the same way, you can make decent progress.

[sick thicket]

yeah u can also collect the extras + donating it

[feral knoll]

At the end of a run, donate everything, and as you start to gain expertise, scrap the rest. You'll gain ranks and materials as well

[sick thicket]

i personally don't wear the gear cause sometimes the teams get bad, up to you

[feral knoll]

Usually I'll just swap a backpack out across each set to rank up, and then target a gear set or weapon architype to farm. Donate everything not nailed down and it'll definitely make progress.

[pliant sentinel]

yaaaa my first prototype gear!

1% lmg damage!

[weary python]

sweeet

[pliant sentinel]

two prototype doubloons

idk how i got one this is my first proto gear i got lole

[alpine lantern]

I think rngesus likes me today, 3 prototype drops and we're only on the second zone tier 3 mission..

[dusky linden]

Can i not optimize mods ?

[lunar hare]

no

[feral knoll]

Nope.

[dusky linden]

Ohhh k. Thx. So looting is the only source then. Or buying. Tyvm ❤️

[twin snow]

Umm, I just turned on my Xbox Series X and there's no update for The Division 2. I haven't started the new season yet.

[feral knoll]

It might take a few minutes to show up, otherwise check if there is an update pending.

[dark bear]

after some hours, finally got that hunter in coney island, scorpio + ninjabike knee pads and pumped hits till that guy ran out of armor kits 😂

[feral knoll]

'grats.

[light bolt]

is completing a run of BT retaliation rewards exotic blueprint regardless of difficulty?

[hybrid ore]

@light bolt It's a chance to get one, not guaranteed.

[light bolt]

i see, thanks man

[trail spire]

can prototypes drop in retaliation, even tho im not expertise 30 yet?

[balmy ledge]

is daily still bugged?

[plain basin]

Fantastic, thank you!

[mortal pawn]

No, prototype gear can ONLY drop from Escalation.

[trail spire]

thx!

[devout swallow]

moin Spiel das zwar auf handy aber egal warum Is immer Netzwerk fehler

[mortal pawn]

You're very much welcome, also the drop rates are buns. The biggest leap is from T7 to T8 so, please temper expectations on what you THINK you'll get.

xD

[trail spire]

eh itll keep me busy

[plain basin]

My highest level expertise is 5. Gonna be a grind 😅

[cold narwhal]

Im assuming not being able to buy the rise up caches from danny weaver is a very known bug

[cold narwhal]

Grind doesn’t come close to what you would have to do. I recommend playing the game for fun instead 😂

[woven socket]

Does anyone have summit the 10th floor for the Big Horn Chance?

[cold narwhal]

Game: here’s a new thing for veterans who have hit the expertise cap to do
People who started 3 days ago: I must have it

[feral knoll]

yep but believe it needs to be legendary to drop (as a chance, RNG).

[woven socket]

ik

[polar thorn]

I got the overdogs...FINALLY

[warm heart]

Is anyone else constantly getting the bravo-04?

[snow nexus]

Guys, need help. Trying to get the Nemesis sniper rifle, got the schematics, 2 components, the base rifle "Adrestia", only lacking two last components. But the missions where you can get them are already done (in group with another player) and the needed bosses arent there on any other difficulty level. Does that mean i cant get it anymore?

[cold narwhal]

Gotta wait for weekly cycle to have the missions you need

[snow nexus]

I think it was more then two or three weeks already...

[cold narwhal]

It’s on invaded strongholds only

[trail spire]

also, don't you get a part from deleting adrestia?

[cold narwhal]

Yes

Deconstructing

[snow nexus]

got everything except two parts from bosses

[trail spire]

do you know which parts?

[snow nexus]

yes

One from Capitol Building, the barrel. Other from Grand Washington hotel, the blueprint

[trail spire]

then you should be able to get the bridle today from the district union invaded stronghold

ah no, todays invaded stronghold is manning zoo

[snow nexus]

grand hotel?

[trail spire]

and that one for the blueprint, but you got that one already no?

[snow nexus]

nope

got piece from Adrastia (scope) and bolt "scales"

[trail spire]

i don't think puck will drop his blueprint if you havent gotten all the parts

[snow nexus]

so what do i do? all the others are grey, not invaded

wait for them to redden?

[feral knoll]

drop chance for bighorn must be miniscule, lol.

gonna wait for the damage amp'd week and farm then I feel.

[elfin anvil]

any1 want to do some decent?

[eternal prism]

Is there anyone willing to help me get quick step?

[rustic marlin]

anybody have houndsman bounties?

[fickle edge]

theres no bonus in doing chain retaliations right

[forest charm]

how difficult is legendary strongholds

[forest charm]

i need it for journey

[feral knoll]

NPCs are spongey and push hard against players.

can be worth matchmaking for it.

[forest charm]

ok thanks, ill take that into consideration...ill probably need a proper build for this then

[feral knoll]

what world level do you normally run, heroic, challenging?

[forest charm]

am still new, so i run normal atm, not too strong, but the event buffs help

how do i post images

[magic fiber]

yo, does anyone know why my the divsiion 2 launch so fuycking slow?? ive been waiting 5 minuts... some of yall have the same issue? (its only with the div 2 i have problems like that, other games load fast and normal as they should)

[forest charm]

might be because of the new update?

[feral knoll]

I would suggest spending some time in heroic to get a feel for the difficulty spike, as legendary is no joke.

[magic fiber]

ive had the issue also before the update.. so idk, last year it was launching fast and normal

[feral knoll]

hdd or ssd/ nvme install?

[forest charm]

oh yeah, im still gunning for my first proper exotic, any tips? hopefully aiming for an ar build

someone was kind to drop me an exotic rpk tho

[magic fiber]

i have SSD, and about NVME? when i do CMD command for healt check, my pc says that its not installed. lmao....

[magic fiber]

i mean, the system says is NTFS, idk if that make any difference

[feral knoll]

not sure then, game should load within about a minute depending on performance.

[magic fiber]

idk either, but its just the div 2 that i have problems with, normally everything is fine cuz i have an high end pc, i just need some small replacements and then im good for next couple of years. But thank u for trying to help me<3

[forest charm]

how difficult are the incursions? just asking

[brazen elm]

besides the usual run cd or retal, keep 2 of each good exotic for rerolling

[feral knoll]

As noted before, probably want to spend a little time in world tier of Challenging and Heroic, just to build up some experience. You can run various things at various levels, but stuff that is Mastery or Legendary is end-game-ish.

[dusky linden]

How do i use the blackout pulse in combat ? Nvmd. It's T.

[feral knoll]

countdown on challenging will shower you with loot that you can use to get some mats and improve your gear, it's a group activity with 8 players and has some difficulty spikes sprinkled in.

[fickle edge]

prio obj for retaliation not worth it

reward is 180 reciever useless

[real musk]

with the memento backpack, will u only get the buffs for 10 seconds or 300 seconds when picking up the trophies?

[fair citrus]

both, there are short term and long term buffs

[umbral oak]

My PC is pretty low end but doesn't take that long

[dusky linden]

Sad, i can't put a skin on my Alejandro. It looks so boring lmao

[magic fiber]

yeah idk man...

[umbral oak]

It's only division right?

[stone ferry]

The only thing that lasts 300 seconds is the armour regen I believe

[umbral oak]

Technically it's a unique gun to d2 since the mg42 isn't in the game, and the skin for the anniversary wasn't too crazy compared to the other exotic skins

[dusky linden]

Yeah. I wish we could put a skin on exotics too. I know they're uniques but still.

[umbral oak]

Yeah fair, could do that in d1

Ironic cuz big ale is from d1

[magic fiber]

yeahh

only the div 2, even the div 1 loads fast and normal lmao

[true musk]

What’s the easiest way to get retaliation process? Wanna grind black tusk

[feral knoll]

doot doot, expertise level 14. only (only, *cries*) 16 to go. hahaha oh noooo.

[umbral oak]

I suppose you've done the usual reinstall and verify files stuff?

[slender lantern]

Hey guys, I habe a journey quest that requires me to optimize gear. However, optimizing gear seems to be quite expensive for em as a fresh lvl 40 player. Is there any way to complete this journey quest in a cheap way as a newly lvl 40 player and not waste these expensive mats just for the quest?

[unique bramble]

On my experience, the division 1 takes like 7 minutes for the first loading, and 2 only takes like 2 or 3.

[umbral oak]

You could maybe do another quest

[slender lantern]

Well, of course but the journey quests also help getting the season pass ranks, right? 🙂

[umbral oak]

Yeah but it's not incredibly necessary to finish every quest in each journey

[magic fiber]

ofc i had, but yeah

[umbral oak]

Might just be an update thing like others mentioned

[magic fiber]

its only the div 2 that loads really slowly... every other game loads normally and fast

[magic fiber]

yeah, cuz i see no other reasons

[feral knoll]

only need to do 6 per journey teir, so save it up for later in the season when you have more mats. 🙂

[umbral oak]

This season is definitely the most buggy since countdown season released

[magic fiber]

sameee

[quartz wedge]

Is crit chance good for Ravenous? Or I should roll for dmg out of cover?

[unique bramble]

Well, for me it's seems not every old game on PS4 benefits from SATA SSD loading time.

[magic fiber]

old games are another dimension man, i cant run my favorite race driver Grid from 2007 because i have way to powerfull pc;(((( XDDD

[umbral oak]

Now be me with games old enough to require windows xp

Half of them the install wizard doesn't even show up

[magic fiber]

damn...

[umbral oak]

Also probably the only person with a PC with a CD drive

[chrome ocean]

hello, trying to unlock technician, does doing Invaded stronghole Replay complete the mission for it on stage 5?

I tried doing it on my other char but it didn't clear the mission.

[umbral oak]

I don't think so

[chrome ocean]

I see, guess I'll have to wait. thanks G.

[umbral oak]

Either way I would probably run non invaded just to make sure

You can just swap to regular btw

[chrome ocean]

okay thanks, I'll do a run again tomorrow, been doing the technician quest the whole. great game 10/10.

[umbral oak]

Can't tell if that's sarcasm

[magic fiber]

haahahahah

[umbral oak]

Same

[feral knoll]

Eh, update needs a bit of work but I still enjoy.

[umbral oak]

I've definitely seen worse

Still bummed the supposed exotic buffs I saw somewhere weren't true

[feral knoll]

Definitely seen far worse.

[umbral oak]

Something something destiny bad Bungie evil

[feral knoll]

Well, wasn't thinking that, but yes a close second.

[umbral oak]

Lol, what would be the first then

[pseudo chasm]

anyone else know why the escalation is not working for me and my buddies? it just starts normal mission but never had a problem unti ltoday

[umbral oak]

You're the first I've seen with that problem

[pseudo chasm]

no others I am talking with now also have the problem

[umbral oak]

Maybe some weird daily rotation bug

[feral knoll]

When do dailies reset?

[magic fiber]

ive had the same issue, yesterday i was farming escalation, got few prorotype drops🤪 and today its just bugging

[umbral oak]

Daily

[feral knoll]

What time, lol.

[magic fiber]

what i did is, do the mission even if the escalation is on but not on (if u know what i mean) and then run it again, should be all fine

[umbral oak]

Mine reset 12pm est

[blissful lagoon]

Bro trying to get investor mask all red core is a pain in the ass fam😭

[umbral oak]

Yeah investor is indeed an exotic

Wears it's own name pretty literal

[magic fiber]

cant wait for them to release survival man, after 8 years? crazy tbh

oh, and the new DLC😁

[zenith urchin]

are the servers unstable today

[magic fiber]

not for me tho, idk, everything been running fine, except escalation

[zenith urchin]

i keep getting delta 3

[icy comet]

aaaaand did another bounty and still didn't count, yea real good

[jovial garden]

kill 7 billion hunters.

[jovial monolith]

Sooo the weekly is bugged too? I need to kill 5 true sons bounty hunter mission it’s still not counting

[smoky orchid]

Which project are you doing

[zenith urchin]

ok so yellow core + core strength gives capacitor more damage than a red core

[jovial monolith]

True sons - devastation

[jovial monolith]

Yesterday the daily was bugged too with the bounties that’s why I’m no really surprised

[worn token]

Did anyone work out the new commendation?

[last raft]

is daily bug ? i killed 4 named black tusk and it didnt count

[jovial monolith]

It’s bugged since yesterday

[jovial monolith]

The counter is no working and not only daily’s are bugged weekly too so yeah new season new bugs lol

[last raft]

lmao

[jovial monolith]

Ps: I play the daily too right now and the - play the pentagon strike mission on hard or higher is bugged too 😆

[south totem]

Servers down?

[willow geode]

Did you try Bounties?

[last raft]

yes

i try bounties, mission didnt count

[merry sluice]

no

[violet river]

mmmm getting login error dolphin 028...anybody else here?

[worthy grotto]

bravo 04 here

[merry sphinx]

Disable the global modifier.

[crimson imp]

Down for me yes

[uneven kite]

Nice 😀

[keen lily]

Is there a way to get another Investor mask?

[merry sphinx]

No.

[keen lily]

Wait for next season to get into the loot pool? Or is it already in the loot pool after getting it?

[merry sphinx]

Next season only.

[normal bobcat]

Servers down for me too

[cloud agate]

is the server down, i keep getting Bravo-04

[hybrid ore]

I'll check myself.
if it's going to be down for anyone: it will be for my terrible, terrible connection.

[cloud agate]

guess what the server is back up again, can login

[cloud agate]

even i disable the global modifier it didn't work for me

[hoary glade]

Is 320k damage in drone damage good?

[cloud agate]

yes. if per bullet

[hoary glade]

Yeah per bullet

[south topaz]

Is that with the new modifier?

[hoary glade]

Damn so the new gear set is really like the strikers version for skills

[hybrid ore]

Okay yeah it's up.

[cinder lagoon]

yes

[hoary glade]

Idk is that the thing in the shd watch if yes then i havent unlocked any yet

[merry sphinx]

Uh, sorry then. I can confirm it helps with TS bounties for weekly.

[hoary glade]

Its with the in sync talent tho

[south topaz]

Yeah that thing can give more 50% damage i think

[smoky orchid]

I will wait to see the final verdict on core str for any builds before switching anything out for it

In tech tank builds it was def a bust for damage output lol I was hoping it would’ve been great for that kind of build

[hoary glade]

I haven't done that yet

But i used the new gear set

[safe anchor]

Are the servers working right now?

[high vessel]

Yeah

[high vessel]

You can set it up in a specific way to give you like 120% headshot damage

[hoary glade]

Nvm i had modifiers on no wonder

[unique bramble]

bro, the fact that a single Salvo and a single non-perfect Back and forth can give 20% ROF on a non-named yellow weapon is crazy.

and Back and forth still gives 5% ROF to the other two weapons upon switch from it.

[zenith urchin]

new york hunters done!

[inner torrent]

prototyp gear is useless wtf you drop shit im madee 3 round t7 got nothing is crazy

[south topaz]

Yeah drop rate is so so low

[inner torrent]

and without target loot you cant get anything useful lol

[tall tusk]

running escalations good exp?

[fervent cipher]

Nope, doing cps on alert 4 is faster

[tall tusk]

really control points ah ok hmm and i guess its not worth to run low level excalations for prototyes?

[fervent cipher]

Protos are very rare, so not really? But its really good

[tranquil lichen]

Anyone else having issues logging in? Uplay wont even connect

[weary python]

lmao, retal is so weird.. sometimes its easy af, other times you get a team that all snipes or run around solo/a mile ahead of everyone else and gets themselves surrounded

[raven urchin]

guys how long you get ur first prototype items?

[little maple]

Yeah - I'm struggling with Ubi Connect

[fervent cipher]

Its either that, or they send out 10k hostiles onto you lmao

[merry vault]

yes I cannot log in either

[kind veldt]

well proto drops are pure luck, i got one in my second mission of escalation doing tier 1 still

weird i'm in game right now

what region are you people having issues with login?

[merry vault]

Europe

[hazy cradle]

returning player is quickstep the lexigton stock broker farmable currently ?

[merry vault]

oh just got in

[tulip yoke]

Guys are servers down? I play the first game btw

[little maple]

UK

[kind veldt]

are you from europe also?

appears to be a regional issue at the moment

[merry vault]

it was giving "Error dolphin-028"

[tulip yoke]

Yes

[kind veldt]

only quickstep, ask for people to help with the bounty in #lfg-pc

[tropic sentinel]

It's an actual error or you're joking?

[tulip yoke]

From Algeria but we count with EU servers

[merry vault]

no I am not joking

[kind veldt]

dophin is an actual error that i remember

[tropic sentinel]

That's crazy.

[merry vault]

yes hehe

[hazy cradle]

ty

[warm bronze]

SO yeah, Proto upgrading a Striker piece that had its Weapon Damage changed to Armor... gets reverted back to Weapon Damage ,,, so that was fun

Not a fan of that

[uncut salmon]

gotta be something done with the npcs wandering around the lobby area of the white house. ethan keeps kicking me out of the stash and the random npcs keep kicking me out of the recombinant bench

[tropic sentinel]

I think they actually did a patch for it, but failed.

[mint sphinx]

do i need to be the host for the new mode to get prptotype gear to drop? been farming for 2 days havent seen 1 piece yet

[merry vault]

Last night I did the new Classified Assignment and I got a new named assault riffle in my inventory, it's called The Archivist with the talent Perfect Ranger, but I cannot find any info for this. Anyone else got it?

[oak turtle]

its already in the expertise table too

[merry vault]

I didn't read about it in the patch notes and I thought it was weird

[fervent cipher]

It was announced I think on the dev stream?

[merry vault]

oh I don't remember at all, ok thank you!

[radiant fractal]

after i do retaliaions, i get rewarded with blueprints at the end IE Bluescreen LMG blueprint, but i dont see it on my crafting stations at all, Where does it go?

[hybrid ore]

In the "exotics" section down the bottom of the list.
It's a different kind of blueprint, it lets you actually craft the Exotic.

[radiant fractal]

ohhh do i have actually have to own one atleast once?

[feral knoll]

To craft an exotic, need an existing copy usually.

[radiant fractal]

ooook thank you! lol

[merry sphinx]

Which info you wanna find? It's a named ACR-E with Perfect Ranger that drops from Sgt. Sawyer.

[alpine basin]

Hi, I wanna get ”tollelos URL”.

[merry vault]

like do we actually get it from that mission??? stuff like that

[merry sphinx]

Yes, it drops from Sgt. Sawyer in the Library Of Congress CA.

[hybrid ore]

Sorry, what is "customs URL"? If I got the translation right.

[vernal jasper]

well that sucks Converting a weapon to prototype will even changing its Talent now your that weapon is useless coz it have the talent you never gonna use :/

[brazen elm]

i thought that was a bug

[feral knoll]

relog, it’s a visual bug.

[vernal jasper]

Shiii yeah that fixed it haha. Thanks

[feral knoll]

There are a few day one bugs, they’ll get sorted out over the next little while.

[shadow trout]

are dailies bug today too? counter for named enemies of blacktusk is not working for me

[kind veldt]

it's bugged also

[hybrid ore]

I tried the "remove Retaliation agitation" fix and was able to progress my True Sons Bounties.

the trick seems to be to not have any at max, or in Red.

[agile night]

which is better to prototype first waepon or gear?

[alpine basin]

I think there's a page that lists known bugs and issues, but does anyone know where to find it?

[kind veldt]

they have new bug reporter

can find int on #news-and-announcements

[azure galleon]

Matchmaking for NY Retaliations is.. surprisingly dead.

[grand dove]

Are there a lot of time limited cosmetics in The Division 2?

[cinder venture]

Is this a good place to make quality of life suggestions for the new update?

[kind veldt]

#1380126780152614944

[half blade]

as far as ive learned everything rotates in and out of the store its just a long waiting game

[cinder venture]

Ty

[grand dove]

Ty sir, it would be splendid ❤️‍🔥

[tropic sentinel]

Yes, and a lot of them probably won't return.

[grand dove]

Well, what a pity :((

[twin vine]

What is better for a striker crit build? Overdogs or coytte mask?

[fallow idol]

Naw they will, but they’ll cost real money. The devs are monetizing just about everything now.

[wild hearth]

a lot of them are messy though

[obtuse hornet]

Ummmm is recalibration gone?

[wild hearth]

prototype gear?

[frigid merlin]

Coyote

[obtuse hornet]

No like I want to max out my stats on my current gear there used to be a station where u can do that i cant find that

[mighty girder]

overdogs. the amp is more valuable than the 25% chd boost from coyote cqc buff

[polar thorn]

my glass build is complete after I got overdogs this morning

[azure galleon]

You don't need to go to the station; Check the control options at the bottom of your inventory.
On PC it's just "I" -> "M".

[wild hearth]

guys how is it that season pack info is about including 2 classified assignmentsa and in store for premium credits there is only 1?

[fathom willow]

have we figured out whats the highest value we can make a module for the global modifier without using saturate? im trying to reload really fast

[cobalt dove]

It seems the hyenas are trying to do a retaliation, but how many tiers did I manage to get

One tier, hohoho!

Two tiers, hohoho!

Three tiers, hohoho!

[brazen elm]

compress split(both on offense) nullify gives you 67.5 handling and 30 stacks in the other 2

[obtuse hornet]

Yeah but even at the tinkering station I don't see the option

[proud locust]

Jesus Christ, ever since we took down the last remaining leaders, all factions have gone heavily feral, and with black tusk included in the retaliation mixed they are more dangerous than before

[plain rune]

I've been getting disconnected a lot this morning and im using fiber, what gives

[proud locust]

This season is by far the most aggressive AI I’ve ever encountered they’re far more retaliating. They’re trying to be smarter and they are extremely feral every last one of them.

[fathom willow]

thanks! just gotta finish leveling this last active and i should have max base stacks

[zenith urchin]

which one of these can i replace with headshot conversion to get big number

[obsidian atlas]

gooooooood intensified eternal war, just what i asked from Santa

[proud locust]

I don’t mind a good challenge, but I just need to step up my gears then everything I have that I stuck by for years is expiring on me and I need to find a better gear

[unique bramble]

Yup, even the smiling guy from team 9 was behind a cover, he didn't move or shoot until I approached the loot behind that cover, he almost killed me.

[proud locust]

Rumor has it these level of retaliations have gotten so tensed up their possession of something called core prototype technology

[obsidian atlas]

they're not too much of a threat on normal, just keep in mind to RESPECT THEIR PERSONAL SPACE

[hardy spruce]

For BT retals is everyone doing it with no directives or what would be efficient?

[zenith urchin]

the AI this season either rushes you down and kills you, or stays in cover until you approach then kills you

[fathom willow]

buy cold front

[zenith urchin]

who is doing retals below challenging

[proud locust]

So much for black tusk covert ops they no longer see themselves as the mystery unit now they’re out in the open doing the same thing like the rest of the factions

[noble schooner]

is the cross play implemented and if yes how can i play with a friend on XBOX ?

[unique bramble]

Nat had enough of the division and the other factions.

[kind veldt]

later this year, not now

[proud locust]

The weirdest part is I just got my second descent comms after my last retaliation

[kind veldt]

well better that than having hunters everywhere despite being the most secret things

[zenith urchin]

team nine is still covert because they spontaneously appear in shipping containers or trucks and jump you

[brazen elm]

saturate defense invert offense convert should get you 135% hsd

[zenith urchin]

btsu everywhere system

[proud locust]

Those hunters are literal fenrirs because of their axe wielding aka lone wolves

[azure galleon]

Do retaliations only drop the BP's on higher difficulties, or is solo challenging farming them fine?

Tried two heroic groups now, both failed the very first checkpoint and people just died on all sides..

[brazen elm]

conversions have less stacks since 1 slot is for the conversion

[kind veldt]

they have high chance even on challenging

[unique bramble]

This feels like a good idea like:
Team 9 leader: guys, let's wait on these smelly sewers until an agent comes close.

[azure galleon]

Good to know, I'll just stick to what works then.

[obsidian atlas]

people who are trying to relax solo, still drops exotic blueprints also

[kind veldt]

do note that kill squads and completion are different ones

[azure galleon]

Yea I'm mainly going for Eagle, the last one I'm missing.

[zenith urchin]

tbf there are echoes that suggest schaeffer's btsu did this lmfao

[proud locust]

I’m starting to understand why you guys keep calling BTSU team 9

And let me guess these are in the classified assignment that I gotta buy

[obsidian atlas]

because they literally are called like that

[unique bramble]

Maybe because it is their official name? Sometimes I call them Red Tusk

[kind veldt]

they are kill squads added this season

[obsidian atlas]

Ivory Tusk

[kind veldt]

unrelated to classified assigment

[proud locust]

Interesting

[kind veldt]

but yes the classified assigment is a paid thing

old ones are from Year 1 pass

they are adding new ones this year

[proud locust]

Who knows the classified assignment might contain more information it would tell us more about these new black tusk units

[barren ingot]

just returning for the first time in 3 years, did the brooklyn skip.

what should i do next?

[fathom willow]

EXPLODE

[proud locust]

But if you say that the kill squad are team 9 it’s best to kill them they might drop audio logs

[kind veldt]

well thats sure is an statment

[kind veldt]

farm for gear, do old manhunts you missed to get up to date

some of them give exotics in their harder versions

[zenith urchin]

theyre called team 9 because the manager found nine psychopaths to throw at us

or the director whatever, black tusk sucks with giving people ominous nicknames

[barren ingot]

@kind veldt thanks, are skill builds still relevant?

[proud locust]

The manager gave us intel?

[obsidian atlas]

usable on challenging still

[kind veldt]

some of them are alright #td2-build-advice can give you direction for that

[barren ingot]

im wearing full hard wired with a capacitor, am I leagues behind? 🙂

[unique bramble]

The director probably remember that number 9 meme from GTA SA and said: hmm, that's a cool number.

[brazen elm]

the manhunt mission for this season will have them as the boss and they'll say together we are team 9

[proud locust]

Hmmm

I’ll have a number 9 XD

[zenith urchin]

then they merge into a giant bipedal warhound mecha

[kind veldt]

i prefer my seal team 9

night time is the right time

[proud locust]

I guess I’m looking forward to these new units. There’s no telling how much souped up Warhounds they have in their possession.

Red tusk looking modified warhounds

[zenith urchin]

i love that one member of team nine is just their robot dog

[brazen elm]

i probably shouldnt be burning my exo components on rerolling investor

[unique bramble]

I'm waiting them to say: it's Morphin time 9!

[proud locust]

Signs of black tusk experimenting, more powerful Warhound by giving bark noises as long as they are not sparkles

That mf was a nightmare during the stovepipe season

[normal lantern]

are the servers down?

[merry sphinx]

Not for everyone, but I got kicked with a delta and then got bravo-04.

Now I have dolphin-028 when trying to restart Uplay.

[normal lantern]

i have bravo 04 too

[merry sphinx]

Yeah, try to relog but don't restart Uplay. There's a high chance you won't be able to log back in.

Eh...
https://downdetector.com/status/uplay/

[zinc vortex]

Anyone else having issues with the daily project, not counting the named enemies or elite enemies?

[merry sphinx]

Yes.

[zinc vortex]

Had the issue yesterday too. It a known bug somewhere?

[kind veldt]

servers on europe were having issues today earlier

[unique bramble]

I think we pissed team 9 off and they're taking Uplay down.

[limber estuary]

i have to farm shd levels

[quaint mango]

i have almost all day uniform 01 error

[limber estuary]

it's so over

[weary python]

interesting news... apparently its been judged social media companies are responsible for knowingly making people mentally ill. Wonder if we'll see the same applied to the games industry ^^'

[unique bramble]

There goes him again...

[mint aspen]

Escalation is leading cause of mental illness amongst division players

[zinc vortex]

Anyone find workarounds or is it just bugged?

[sour tiger]

There’s two of them technically

[zinc vortex]

daily mission not progressing named and elites...

[weary python]

I mean, we're constantly having conversations about how so much of what we now do has become unethical ^^' so its not like we're not knowingly doing it

we lovingly call them dark patterns <3

[unique bramble]

And what it has to do with this division 2 chat?

[weary python]

it has to do with games, division 2 is a game that could be affected

[wild hearth]

how to get Black tusk Team comms? there is collection of 5 of them

[obsidian atlas]

i used to be mentally ill for many media contents, say what you will, some are just defenseless against psychological influences (like me)

[sour tiger]

You get the Team 9 comms by taking them out in retaliations

[weary python]

look through the list on the site and see how many you can tick off for div 2 lol

[hybrid ore]

That is one of the most nonsensical things I've ever read, and I can read the auto-mod list of this server.

No, video games can not "make you mentally ill".

[weary python]

so, you believe the the social media case is nonsensical?

[hybrid ore]

It's the satanic panic all over again.

[sour tiger]

I think the social media thing is overblown.

[weary python]

that social media companies arent responsible for knowingly manipulating behaviour in unhealthy ways

[unique bramble]

You might want say those stuff on #off-topic-discussions shi, this chat is not for your nonsense theory pls.

[hybrid ore]

What I think doesn't matter in this case, as this has nothing to do with div2, and as such: has no place in this channel.

[weary python]

theres certainly grey areas, some of this comes down to philisophical discussions, but regulations do need to be put in place

[hybrid ore]

although I would also say that we are likely going to remove it from the server entirely, as it's pretty far into fear-mongering.

[rigid wedge]

I was about to say i peeked in here for 3 seconds and someone's fear mongering

[weary python]

it has, because it the same thing... it might affect div 2

[unique bramble]

You got the touch, you have the power
You know what to do

[shy seal]

I'm getting an error called MIKE-1. I've tried restarting my router, verifying the game files, and running the game as administrator. I've been trying to log in for three weeks now, and I can't. I've been playing for years...

[weary python]

jsut because you dont like it or too compicated for you to engage with doesnt mean its not relevant ^^'

[hybrid ore]

@weary python You've been told to drop it in this channel.
Continuing will result in action being taken.

[rigid wedge]

anyways I hate the outcasts and true sons and somehow I hate the completion bonus blueprints chances even more

[zenith urchin]

dark patterns are about slowly conditioning players to accept horrible monetization
not brainwashing
what the hell are you yapping about

[unique bramble]

🫢

[sour tiger]

Anyway, as a returning player…anyone else feel like the narrative is getting a little ridiculous? Just a bit?

[obsidian atlas]

it's a common sentiment that the writing is dissappointing

[distant knot]

I am so lost can someone give me the short version of what i missed in chat

[zenith urchin]

theres a real argument to be had about how violent media desensitizes us to real violence, but the patterns implemented by marketing to make people spend more money aint it

[obsidian atlas]

dark patterns, fear monger, social media bad

[weary python]

lmao rivens, you still think i care about what a childish mod will do? its infantile XD

[brazen elm]

I have come from the future, it is Y6S7, Keener has a body double with an eyepatch, a horn, and a robot arm

[sour tiger]

Like, I can suspend disbelief for SHD tech and all that stuff, but wht the heck is up with Black Tusk???

[hybrid ore]

Okay they've been timed-out, I'm going to have to do the same to anyone who continues this conversation from here on out.

[obsidian atlas]

invisible

[unique bramble]

This room is becoming interesting 🍿

[zenith urchin]

does he perhaps have a cloaking device that makes him... invisible

[sour tiger]

Like the world was seemingly ended how are they managing to fund this nonsense???

[grim ember]

why is the NY DLC not available anymore? was it free for anniversary event only?

[brazen elm]

yeah

[unique bramble]

One of the mini warhounds already have that, so it's not impossible

[hybrid ore]

we're at year 8 now.
if you're going to try and mock the story, at least keep up with what year it is.

[zenith urchin]

season 7

[grim ember]

well f me, can I still get to lvl 40 and true endgame without it?

[brazen elm]

yeah

[zenith urchin]

y6s7 would technically be y8s1 wouldnt it

[sour tiger]

Also, Div3 better give me actual melee.

[zenith urchin]

so punished "venom" vanguard is already among us

[hybrid ore]

Which is also not the future. since we are at y8s1 now.

[grim ember]

how though? I heard that you can only reach 40 with the DLC

[rigid wedge]

I'm from the future

The rookie got canceled boss and Faye is back

[unique bramble]

They probably will, idea from heartland.

[hybrid ore]

not the case anymore.

[grim ember]

that changes things, thanks

is that explained in the patch notes?

[zenith urchin]

everyone can get to lvl40 now with just basegame, its an old change

[hybrid ore]

@grim ember It was over a year ago.

[brazen elm]

that was changed a long time ago

[merry sphinx]

Yeah, almost two years ago.

[grim ember]

oh nice, thanks

[hybrid ore]

I think the "one world update" or something like that.

[sour tiger]

Like there’s a number of exotics that WANT you to melee enemies and 95% of the time it’s just not worth the trade off.

[grim ember]

didnt know, all reddit forums say you have to buy the NY DLC

[hybrid ore]

Basically you can now go from 1-40 in DC and get the watch in there.

[grim ember]

guess I'll have to do some sides then

[brazen elm]

this game's pretty old, bound to be some outdated info out there

[hybrid ore]

A lot of div2 info on reddit is....less than accurate.

[grim ember]

yea a lot actually

[sour tiger]

Yep, I basically got to 40 just in DC and then started doing NY stuff after I realized it was still there.

[pallid raft]

Is there any reports of people doing Black Tusk Activities and their black tusk retaliation not going up?

[hybrid ore]

a lack of curation for the info means you get wrong answers put to the top a lot.

[unique bramble]

I can only think of lady death, sweet dreams and Elmo with that holster. But yeah, melee is pretty much a forgotten mechanic in a bunch of games.

[merry sphinx]

That's the worst possible source.

[hybrid ore]

Check if you have another Retal active, you can only have one as Red at once.

either abandon/retreat/finish that one, then do some BT stuff to max it out.

[sour tiger]

Bloody Gloves, also the Shock Punch holster.

[pallid raft]

Oh I see thank you!

[unique bramble]

The game is from 2019, much of those forums are old

[wild hearth]

claws out too

[unique bramble]

Not exotic

[wild hearth]

ok but it tops up malee

[distant knot]

Anyone know what the objective 2 scout is?

[wild hearth]

you need to do 3 activities

[unique bramble]

We will know in a few days

[distant knot]

10-4

[sour tiger]

Oh right I need to do that too.

[merry sphinx]

[wild hearth]

ive done entire week already

[sour tiger]

I’ve been farming retaliations so much lately.

[wild hearth]

guys if we are talking about Manhunt- i CAN listen only 1st week comm, cant do briefing and debrief even if apparently they are on list. is that a bug?

[hybrid ore]

The Manhunt only came out a few days ago, there is only Week 1 available.

[grim ember]

I cant do world tiers before lvl 40 is that correct?

[hybrid ore]

World Tiers were removed along with needing to own the DLC's.

now it's just 1-40.

[wild hearth]

world tiers arent here anymore

[midnight plinth]

Hello

[grim ember]

since when? 1st april? cuz I just recently got the notification for world tiers in TD2

[midnight plinth]

New around here. How’s everyone doing

[grim ember]

after reaching lvl 30

[wild hearth]

those notifications are leftovers

[grim ember]

thats confusing huh

[wild hearth]

nah thats just ubisoft

[remote lynx]

Welcome to the Division 2 community!

[grim ember]

makes sense

[hybrid ore]

div2 is a little duct-tape, but you learn to appreciate what it's holding up.
you eventually stop seeing the tape.

[wild hearth]

can i ask generic lore question on here or there is a different channel for it

[midnight plinth]

Thank you thank you. Is there a lfg where it’s not just for raids and all that just to chill and play?

[hybrid ore]

@wild hearth #division-universe would be best.

[wild hearth]

"a little" is a stretch 😄

[hybrid ore]

Not even going to interact with that one.

@midnight plinth #lfg-pc is for all non raids/incursions. GL Agent

you should also join a #td2-clan-recruitment as soon as you can, to find regular teammates.

[midnight plinth]

Thank you, are clams willing to accept returning players who are restarting at rock bottom?

[hybrid ore]

Oh like 90% of them are very chill.

There's no downside to leaving and joining a new one if you're a bad fit, you can also find one ingame.

[topaz robin]

Tons

[wild hearth]

if they are active they will be happy to get someone. a lot of clans are dead lol

[midnight plinth]

Okay sweet because I use to play all the time but got to busy to play so now I’m going to be playing when I have downtime to so I’ll be active but not like super active

[hybrid ore]

If you're inactive for long enough, the game will boot you from it. But no issue, just find another one for next time.

[midnight plinth]

I won’t be inactive for like months at a time. Only during the week. I’m only ever really able to play on Sundays

[red prawn]

chat, what are the benefit of being in clan? i am not exactly a fan of it. plus i heard some clan are filled with hacker

[hybrid ore]

Oh no worries then. Most are just happy to have another body in it.

[midnight plinth]

Okay sweet imma go check out the clans

[topaz robin]

I was in the burn unit for 5 months around two years back and didn't get to play at all for that time and a while after it. You'll probably have some gear that needs broken down and your stash spaced cleaned out a bit, best of luck.

[candid tartan]

am i tripping or is rubens page saying its updated but its clearly wrong?

[wild hearth]

is the Director a person created for this season or he was in lore before

[sour void]

Seems to be exclusive to this season. We haven't heard about him or BTSU-9 before.

[sour tiger]

That’s basically what I did.

[wild hearth]

if i understand season graphic correctly he is....Division Agent?

[midnight plinth]

i use to play both of these games like religiously but then life just got busy

[sullen vortex]

Hey does anyone still have the houndsman bounty. I'm trying to get the chill out or the quick step and I keep seeing online that that is a potential option

[limber estuary]

sounds like you aren't trying hard enough

[sour tiger]

I admit while the gameplay is superior in Div2…I miss the atmosphere that Div1 had.

[unique bramble]

Me and Hawkster (he is a lore guy on the server) think he is the same unknown guy that talks to Schaeffer in one of the black tusk comms. They have the same voice.

[dusk stratus]

Best way to level expertise ?

[wild hearth]

i mean usually season graphics holds main antagonist

[unique bramble]

I doubt we will go after Nat so yeah.

[hybrid ore]

If whoever that is, is BT, it's entirely possible he's the old BT guy that got nuked from the lore when Sokolova was invented.

[unique bramble]

Well, that too, but I like to go through the path of: same VA = same character.

[hybrid ore]

Avoid that, div2 reuses a LOT of VA's.

Sokolova and ANNA for a start. Also is Claire. And a few others.

Hey when you've got a talented VA, you like working with them.

[wild hearth]

also if you are making budget cuts 😄

which is more the case of multitasked VAs

[hybrid ore]

And here comes Negative Fred again.

[wild hearth]

Negative Fred?

[tropic sentinel]

I think Sokolova's lines in one of later updates straight up were done with AI. Or at least cut from some other random dialogues.

[wild hearth]

Totally possible

[hybrid ore]

The team don't use AI.

[wild hearth]

How do you know thaty

[hybrid ore]

Because they've flat-out told us before in twitter posts and such.
We've had issues with people claiming AI work on actual content creation in the past, and it's resulted in some ugly fallout from them staying on this server.

If you're going to claim something is AI, you had better be beyond 100% certain.

[delicate wasp]

I know I’m not the smartest player in D2, but I’m also not the dumbest, at least not until I came across the Recombinant bench,
now I think I am the dumbest, 🤪
I just want to know if I’m alone in not having the slightest clue/idea what any of it means 🤔 🤣

[tropic sentinel]

You are.

[vital cave]

There buff stacks In short
The main 3 active modifier permanently increases it stack by 1 the max being 20 stacks without any passive modifiers

So offensive is
weapon handling
Headshot damage
Mag size increase
Defense has
Armor increase
Damage protection from elites
Hazard protection
Skills sorry didn’t check that out yet

[hybrid ore]

Careful with the text blocks, the auto-mod doesn't like them that much.

[vital cave]

The stacks from passive mods can increase them but there are other ways to increase them you can decrease skill stacks by 15 to boost defensive and offensive by 10

[wild hearth]

is it just me or the game became significally harder?

[hybrid ore]

Regarding what content?

[wild hearth]

i have problems with soloing places that earlier i soloed non sweat, strongholds mostly

[vital cave]

And you gotta buy most of the passives from the mods shop I call it that which in base of ops next to the specialization part

[soft basin]

wish I could still get the veteran skins for the lexington

[hybrid ore]

If you've turned the Modifiers on, try reading through it and working around the issue.
or turning them off, I guess.

[brazen elm]

Maybe got used to anniv season's GEs, or maybe just an off day

[wild hearth]

do i loose anything by turning modifiers

[hybrid ore]

As someone who has all 3: I don't use them. They're honestly kinda similar to those "space gun set" from $1 stores.
Currently the alani yellow leaves is my jam, but the new spacey ones are neat.

[delicate wasp]

Daaaaang you guys must have done well in your physics class at school, its no good explaining it to me, it'll go right over my head - I'll stick to mechanical problems 😉 but thanks anyway

[vital cave]

No you get buffs from them

[soft basin]

for me its feeling a lot easier, weirdly enough

[sullen viper]

escalation is the worst addition to the game...no the frnachise in 12 years

[hybrid ore]

You'll get better at it, dw.

[sullen viper]

im playing it safe in the back, my teammates, what if we rush in?

may god smite them down

[soft basin]

whys that? its the most fun I've had solo in a long while

[wild hearth]

im gonna take a walk, have a nice chat guys

[soft basin]

that sounds more like a teammate issue than a gamemode issue tbh

[tropic sentinel]

Can't be worse than descent.

[soft basin]

enjoy your walk

[brazen elm]

descent can be fun

[wild hearth]

thanks

[sullen viper]

goes i to room, teammate shoots red gascanister, everyone dies wow great

[brazen elm]

that's why you shoot it before the enemies spawn

[azure galleon]

I've had the same issue in every single retaliation group for black tusk so far.
Why people bring lvl 40 and below friends into heroic stuff is beyond me, especially if they go down every minute as well.

[sullen viper]

to kill your team?

enemies have not spawned yet brother 💀 💀 💀 💀

[hybrid ore]

I had the funniest Escalation today.
the host kept ranting about how everyone was a coward, hiding in the back, blah blah.
They sprint forward and get downed, then executed by a Hyena.

[wild hearth]

descent have strange difficulty set, like rooms before nemesis are just lulz and once u reach nemesis is from 0 to over 9000 real quick

[delicate wasp]

I can say, I know how the cloud modifier works, which suits me fine, seeing as I play a lot of CD with a decent support build 😀

[brazen elm]

so you dont end up accidentally shooting them in a fight

[sullen viper]

or you blow up your team

[vital cave]

Or you take cover close to one and enemy shoots it and burns you etc

[hybrid ore]

Nah, gotta blow it up next to a teammate.
its how we Agents say hello.

[grim ember]

how do I acess the missions that are out of the map zone

[brazen elm]

me being in the rear of every legendary i've done taking potshots

[sullen viper]

after 1h run maybe...idk

[hybrid ore]

@sullen viper Escalation is a measure of how far you can go before you hit a wall of "you need to be better".
You've clearly hit that wall if you're taking an hour.

There's no shame in it. It's designed that way.

[sullen viper]

the wall is if my teammates play it save on a steroid heroic mission

[vital cave]

I hit the wall at tier 6

[sullen viper]

also you hit the wall eventually but the drops are no existent atleast for now

so there is hardly anyway to progress and then you cant recal its bleak

[hybrid ore]

Lower the tier if you take too long. Practice being better, and make sure your build is better too.
You didn't sprint through Legendary the first time you ever played div2, this is the same.

[south topaz]

i upgraded my striker and got only 1 weapon core out of 4, with tipping its 2 out of 4, next thinking to do coco

[hybrid ore]

Yeah there you go, it's a slow process.
We are literally still in the first week.

[sullen viper]

i mean slow

[hybrid ore]

Stressing that you can't sprint through something that is going to take you months to get good at.

[sullen viper]

its if you arent expertise 30 too slow basically

[hybrid ore]

If you aren't at Expertise 30, you are likely too new to be able to handle Escalation anyway.

It's not meant for everyone. And that's okay.

[wise basalt]

escalation matchmaking is broken, what is the point if u can't match based on tiers

[sullen viper]

you said this to me about legendary aswell

and we fly theough everytime, with random

difficulty is supposed to be dofficult and not artificially inflated by numbers and barriers

[hybrid ore]

Rex, I'm going to ask you a question in all seriousness:
have you played a looter-shooter before?
the issues you are having, are all very basic ones to someone who is very new to this series.

[sullen viper]

same issue destiny 2 had for years they just recently fixed it

[south topaz]

yup not played single escalation today cause matchmaking not working, host gets 5 token in higher tier when others gets 10+ token without any stake no wonder nobody hosting

[kind veldt]

Thats because of years of player power creep made it a cakewalk, which resulted in creation of escalation

[sullen viper]

but the issue is escalation doesent use legendary as a baseline

[kind veldt]

Because it gets harder than legendary later

[sullen viper]

making it just a barrier for artificially scaled difficulty

[sullen viper]

no it doesent

[kind veldt]

And legendary only would limit a lot the mission poll

[kind veldt]

Are you sure?

[sullen viper]

you are aware legendary enemies have different behavior that is way more agressive than heroic the enemies

[hybrid ore]

What Tier have you reached in Escalation, Rex?

[kind veldt]

I am, and that is also custom built into white tusks

Who cant be copy pasted everywhere

[sullen viper]

ok so how is heroic more difficult if number go up?

[kind veldt]

Any small mistakes became bigger, enemy flanks, rushers and etc

[sullen viper]

it isnt if lehendary was the base for escalation it would be difficult but as it stands its just a grind for expertise and numbers
