[quiet smelt]

Soon you wont even own games you buy

[royal stone]

i play on pc

[neat slate]

and that doesn't make it a good thing durr appeal to tradition

[hybrid ore]

You don't own the games you buy online lol.

[rain flare]

i moved to pc thank god

[royal stone]

stop stalking me omg

[hybrid ore]

You haven't since what, 2003 for steam.

[edgy fable]

Me too, I still find it ridiculous that you have to pay for online play on consoles

[neat slate]

talking in a server is stalking ggs

[quiet smelt]

Thats why I have most games physically

[brave idol]

There was games for windows before then way back

[royal stone]

i know you get notified when i talk here

[nocturne elk]

I pay for online because i don't really buy anything else 💀

[hybrid ore]

GFWL never worked for me, due to my physical location. I'm still mad about fallout 3.

[nocturne elk]

plus 3 free games every month is nice i guess

[quiet smelt]

Worst example if its not a physical copy you dont own it

[undone skiff]

I’m trying to get bluescreen lmg and I’ve having absolutely zero luck with anyone have any recommendations?

[hybrid ore]

I buy physical copies of games, even bought div2 as a disc.
but most physical games these days are just a code.

[nocturne elk]

Other than that all my friends are on console and I don't fw my PC at all other than indie games

[brave idol]

Pretty common among exotics . Just keep looking

[hybrid ore]

fun fact: div2 was 6 discs to install.

[nocturne elk]

plus itd suck to move fully to PC and have to start all over again

[quiet smelt]

I sadly dont have a div2 disc but I do have most of my games since some of em are censored otherwise (dying light etc.)

[rain flare]

im able to play with my dad on div 1, we dont own game pass. we just cant go in the dz but we can still farm missions

[nocturne elk]

I play Div 2 with my mom 🤣

[undone skiff]

Great… I have like 4 st Elmo’s engines but can’t get the blue screen to save my life

[balmy narwhal]

Other than telling you to target loot LMGs on Summit, Countdown and Retals, you can do True Sons retals and hope to get the BP so you can craft it

[hybrid ore]

australian here: i feel that one.

[acoustic peak]

server restart?

[nocturne elk]

No

[quiet smelt]

I can do you one better, German

[rain flare]

if i sold a game for $70. and was like, ehhh actually in order to play this you need game pass, oh you got game pass? well actually you need game pass ultimate $30 a month

[acoustic peak]

i have one in under an hour

[undone skiff]

Done all of that no luck so far I get everything but the blue screen

[hybrid ore]

honestly about the same for stupid censoring of games.

[balmy narwhal]

Have you gone through True Sons retaliations and seen if you've gotten the BP to craft it? if youve killed a couple kill squads you should have it by now

Id suggest checking your crafting table just in case

[undone skiff]

Done several still no luck even with the blueprint

[nocturne elk]

Wait so im American, my friend is French, our game versions are different when we game share (i.e. we end up having to play the version respective to our region to play together) what exactly is censored?

[undone skiff]

I’ll keep at it I guess

[nocturne elk]

Because i played both versions and i must've missed something

[quiet smelt]

I cant even see all games on steam etc, the censoring is stupid

[balmy narwhal]

Well, there's also Exotic Caches but other than that, there's not much else you can do

Retal, Summit, Countdown, Exotic Caches, Kill Squads, Heroic Retals cuz if you finish it all successfully you get an Exotic Cache, but other than that, there's not much you can do other than keep playing until it drops

[undone skiff]

Yeah I’ve popped like 4 st Elmo’s engines from the cached

[mossy imp]

Division rise up bundle costs $40 Canadian. But you can buy enough coins for the season pass and classified assignments for $24. So the extra $16 is for a costume, 5% more XP boost, and 20 level skips I guess?

[undone skiff]

Just unlucky I guess I can’t even get the reconfigure blueprint to drop the the manhunt @balmy narwhal

[quiet smelt]

And 5000 premium credits

[mossy imp]

No, those credits are with the $65 bundle

[balmy narwhal]

thats cuz reconfigure BP you only get it should you get the exotic weapon, thems the rules

[mossy imp]

Doesn't come with any credits

[quiet smelt]

The credit one costs 40 here, the other 20 damn

[balmy narwhal]

All the ones that got a reconfigure, you must first obtain the gun before you are able to reconfigure it, which then you must buy from Inaya but the price is rather cheap so you dont have to worry about the price, at best just 500 credits

[runic crater]

is there a best way to level expertise?

[quiet smelt]

Lots of time

[mossy imp]

Only 20?

[quiet smelt]

Yea

[undone skiff]

Damn so I’m just unlucky then lol. Rngesus is not being kind to me

[quiet smelt]

I actually got the 5000 credit one for ~40 euro

[toxic musk]

Threaten RNGesus with a steel chair

[mossy imp]

Oh 20 euros?

[undone skiff]

I did he spit in my face

[balmy narwhal]

pretty much, which was funny enough, my first ever exotic was Bluescreen and its been with me for the 2 years ive been playing this game

[quiet smelt]

Yea im from Germany

[toxic musk]

Then make it no longer a threat

[mossy imp]

Let me check the exchange rate

[balmy narwhal]

but yeah, you only get the BP for reconfigure if you get the weapon, that one is to reroll its stats, the one you can get to craft is if you do retals and successfully kill True Sons kill squads

[mossy imp]

20 euros is $32 Canadian about

But our bundle is $40 🤷‍♂️

[balmy narwhal]

regional prices

[quiet smelt]

[undone skiff]

I had stopped playing a long time ago came back for the Scorpio and St Elmo’s engine super quick and some other stuff but after that my rng has. Not been kind

[mossy imp]

I sort of want the classified assignments.

[balmy narwhal]

lucky for me im only missing 1 exotic, which at this moment in time cannot be obtained

[quiet smelt]

RNGesus has forsaken me

[undone skiff]

Me too buddy me too

[balmy narwhal]

you can just buy it for 500 premium credits

the pass isnt necessary

[undone skiff]

I’m missing a few but some of them aren’t things I care about out

[quiet smelt]

70+ rerolls on investor 💔

[mossy imp]

Yeah. I'm trying to work out what is the most worthwhile way to buy things and what I even want to buy

[undone skiff]

I’m so sorry little one

[balmy narwhal]

took me just about 8 rerolls to get what i wanted for it lmao

[undone skiff]

Rngesus loves him

[quiet smelt]

Im going all out, full red

[balmy narwhal]

To put it simply, you can buy the season pass for 1k premium credits, the classified assignment is 500 premium credits per, a total of 2k if you want the season pass and the classified assignments

[balmy narwhal]

I got full red, weapon damage, weapon handling, crit hit and crit chance

[quiet smelt]

😔

[balmy narwhal]

on my second roll i rolled those 3 non core but i had a skill tier and i was like No, i dont want that

[mossy imp]

Yeah. I worked that out. So I don't see any way the rise up bundle is a good deal, for me at least.

[quiet smelt]

I had that first roll and tbh Id take it now

[undone skiff]

I need to reroll my investor but I’m not sweating it currently I’m running the new green armor set with the harriers pride backpack and it’s been a good set I’m also using the capacitor with it and it’s been super good

[fickle edge]

what's the best passive modifiers to buy?

[undone skiff]

I’m just trying to figure out what is a good weapon to pair with that setup I’m currently using the lefty

[balmy narwhal]

Id say Invert and Pivot or whatever the name of the one modifier that lets you change your highest stack go to another

[quiet smelt]

Is there a melee build 🙏

[mossy imp]

I can get 2100 credits for $24. 2250 credits for $27, 2600 credits and bug mask for $27

[balmy narwhal]

Invert changes what each stack does, which comes great for Utility ones if you are running a healer build, turning your stacks from skill damage to skill repair

[mossy imp]

I'll just have to think about it

[quiet smelt]

Too complicated, I threw some bs together im happy

[balmy narwhal]

EN cant read, so, expected

[mossy imp]

If you get season pass I guess you also get 400 credits back from the tier rewards

[quiet smelt]

🥀

[balmy narwhal]

But at least this isnt as bad as the person who asked if OD was broken cuz they kept racking kills and not seeing the HP bullets proc, until i told them that the person they kill must be under a status effect

Still lives rent free in my head as a funny memory

[fickle edge]

is this for all cores or specific ones?

im guessing its for all

[balmy narwhal]

All of them have the same modifiers, same effects too but obviously different depending what stack youre going for

[oblique peak]

This game is trolling me. The only BP I have left from BT retaliations is Ravenous and I haven't gotten it in 10 runs

[acoustic peak]

are some named gear harder to get than others?

[oblique peak]

@acoustic peak yes

[edgy fable]

There's a good amount of former DZ exclusive items that is rarer to get via PvE options

[weary python]

i literally just discovered the health damage pvp mask today on wiki then immediately got it in pve an hour after lol

[hoary glade]

What's a good alternative AR to ST elmo

[weary python]

kinda like asking what a good alternative to butter is

[hoary glade]

Yes like margarine

[hybrid ore]

To answer without a weird reply: basically any high-end AR with a decently fast fire-rate (on the upper end) will do you as well as an Elmo.
Although Elmo is a good pre-made choice, as it's sort of just a good workhorse gun, but prettier horses exist.
that metaphor fell apart, but you get it.

[hoary glade]

Can you suggest some

[hybrid ore]

police-m4 if you want the meta huggers option.

That's basically as good as a Lex'

and colours way better.

[hoary glade]

Dang okay

Just wanted to try some variety

What talent should i put on it tho

[hybrid ore]

The important thing is the 3rd attribute and the Talent.
the 3rd always being dtooc, and the talent can vary, but generally accepted its Measured in a group, and Killer for solo.
you can use anything with a, IIRC, 750 or higher fire-rate.

I've been running the Caretaker recently for a laugh.
and you can even pull out a Burnout for old times sake.

[nocturne elk]

Why does no one shoot the tanks machine gun belt? 😭

[hoary glade]

Real

[hybrid ore]

A lot of people likely just don't know.

[hoary glade]

It funny sometimes, trolled a machine gun enemy by destroying his belt over and over for a journey task

[agile gyro]

Bruh how come I had more BTSU 9's in a hyena retal then I actually did in a btsu retal 😭

[nocturne elk]

That sounds too crazy to me to be playing with people higher SHD rank than me tbh

[hybrid ore]

SHD Rank means very little.
after 2k you don't get any bonus from it anyway, outside of materials via scavenging.

[weary python]

I think in a way, many people who can play the same game for such a long time without getting bored tend to be the slowest to learn

[brazen elm]

could've just been grinding hard during xp events

[weary python]

met a 50k guy yesterday and he was trying to do legendaries with a skill build, shooting out a few oxidizers clouds (mostly at his allies feet) and then hiding at the very back... effectively doing very little

[nocturne elk]

I guess i mean it would just seem a little trivial, like something across hundreds of hours of gametime you'd surely do it once, even by accident.

[weary python]

wondered if he was trolling but he seemed intent that he was contributing

[oblique peak]

Man Expertise 17+ is a goddamn slog

[brazen elm]

you'd think "shoot the red part" is common game knowledge

[hybrid ore]

Did we learn nothing from that one giant crab at e3 all those years ago?
"shoot the weakpoint for massive damage".

[brazen elm]

we've truly lost the ancient texts

[oblique peak]

We need like a 10x proficiency event 3x isn't nothing

[undone timber]

anecdotally i went up from 12 to 30 during the last event

so its certainly not insignificant if you put your back into it

[nocturne elk]

I had to work OT all week the last time unfortunately smh

so i was too exhausted to wanna play

[white tide]

anyone else having trouble trying to play?

[obsidian atlas]

if you mean connection and latency issues

[white tide]

yeah

[obsidian atlas]

then yes, it's been reported accross multiple users, me included

[white tide]

😭😭

this sucks

[obsidian atlas]

not that i can't log in and play, it's more is it just me or enemies are acting weird and then disconnects

[sour void]

Just need to do IH for JM8. Preferably on Discovery

[cedar zephyr]

do people do dark hours more than iron horse in terms of raids? if so, why?

[sour void]

Why couldn't they 86 the crucible mechanics and allow us to melt Fieser?

[sour void]

Can't say much about the play count, but generally speaking, DH is easier to understand than IH.

[white tide]

i can’t even start a game up

[hybrid ore]

Dark Hours is effectively a "dps check", iron horse has some real mechanics to understand.

[cedar zephyr]

i wanna do one of the raids but i feel like it'll be hard to get a group for either one

[jovial garden]

just tried my backfire with a heartbreaker build

[limpid helm]

anyone got blood hound bounties for quickstep

[jovial garden]

man that was fun

[jagged shell]

Guys I'm expertise 21 and out of brand and gear sets and have done all of the non named weapons

Is Countdown Gear Mods really the best route from here? Or is there something better?

[brazen elm]

check shops for named gear you havent leveled up

[obsidian atlas]

or just, you know, DONATE RESOURCES

[mossy imp]

The only point of proficiency is that it unlocks expertise for that item, right

[sour void]

Yep.

[mossy imp]

All of that item... Yet expertise only applies to one individual item right

[sour void]

Unfortunately, yes

[hybrid ore]

Basically yeah.
Daily reset today has a proficiency boost event starting btw, so make sure you focus on it when that starts.

[mossy imp]

Such a confusing system, when I was trying to understand it I kept watching tutorial videos and still not fully getting it

Didn't help that when I tried donating guns it didn't give me any feedback and I thought it just wasn't doing anything

What does focusing on proficiency involve, just donating your guns as usual?

[mighty girder]

The game is very good at telling you want to do /s

[polar thorn]

I just shoot and die.

[mossy imp]

Oh I forgot that there is another point to proficiency... It also levels up your expertise cap.

[empty flame]

Is there anyone here is hard to connect in ubisoft connect?
How can i fix this issue?pls help

[mighty girder]

The event just boosts proficiency gain, so yeah pretty much.

[mossy imp]

Ok

[polar thorn]

or just grind gear mods and trash them

I got like 5 mods of 13% protection but NOT a single good chc or chd

[mossy imp]

I've been doing that lately

Looking for critical chance but not getting much

I did upgrade 2 of my mods by a little

I think all 3 are above 5% now

[polar thorn]

very nice, mine is 5.6%. The rest are 5.1 and 5.2

imma do like 30 countdown after my shift ends

[balmy narwhal]

Your feedback tends to be the circle getting filled up on the left, so if youve got piles of trash, for instance, a lot of ARs, you go to the AR category and donate it all, its more noticeable when you donate stuff for that brand, gear set or category

for the gear pieces, those only move if you go to the item directly and donate your resources or you donate the named item itself

its best to mark all that you dont intend to use as junk and donating it

[jagged shell]

I definitely identify with people that were confused about expertise, I didn't look up guides or anything for the game so I learned about most things organically, I was super confused about Expertise and was late to the party once I actually understood it

[balmy narwhal]

didnt really watch videos, i just kept poking about it, only til like a year ago i understood how the library works and same way with expertise and ive been doing just that ever since

[agile pendant]

season 8 one of the biggest updates in a while huh?

[dire grotto]

After seeing people's first impressions of the Prototype grind, I'm really glad I didn't try doing any content during the PTS with the free build we all got. I don't understand why Massive would give us a glimpse at the new power ceiling, knowing that basically nobody will ever reach it

[balmy narwhal]

and its funny for me since i very adamantly refuse to watch youtubers guides and builds, so i just learn everything myself through experimentation

[mossy imp]

i've been doing that

i think i'm doing everything right so i'll keep doing it

[civic ravine]

No news on the adjustments for proto system?

[mossy imp]

i meant when you hold down the button to donate it doesn't even make a sound or give any sign that something happened, i was confused at first and thinking that somehow i hadnt unlocked the ability to donate yet

i was wondering whats the point of marking items as for donation when on the expertise page theres only a button to donate junk

[stoic elk]

Heyo, ive got a couple exotics with bad rolls, whats the best thing to do with them? Donate them for Expertise lvls?

[jagged shell]

I would keep all of your unique (only have one) exotics

[agile pendant]

is it grind heavy??

[balmy narwhal]

yeah its the best way, another alternative for you to use which is a cheese way to get proficiency, see what the vendors are selling and then check your proficiency tab for that weapon, if its not proficient, buy about 10 to 15 of them and donate them all directly to the weapon and you'll be immediately proficient

as for the panel itself, on the right there's always going to be a bar

For the marking for donation part, there used to be projects where you could donate gear weekly and as such you could mark the items as donation so only those items got donated, but nowadays the only thing left for that is just the Centurion Holster exotic project and the Regulus project

[jagged shell]

excess just deconstruct

[civic ravine]

heavy it's an understatemt hahaha

[agile pendant]

damn i have played div 2 in months, saw the trailer for new update. was excited for new gear type, guess its gonna be hard to get a full build of proto huh..

[jagged shell]

I think its doable within a week

[balmy narwhal]

i mean, a proto build isnt that necessary, sure its a new nice shiny thing but everything still holds up in the endgame

[jagged shell]

Do the highest tier you can reasonably beat, you should get a drop every few runs

[mossy imp]

when you say donate directly to the weapon, wouldnt it be the same to mark them as junk and then donate all junk?

[agile pendant]

so whats the upgrade process to proto gear?? reach expertise 30?? thats it?

[balmy narwhal]

yes, but when you mark various things as junk, it gets distributed among all items within the category, the way to ensure that it doesnt distribute to other items within that category is going to the item directly and dropping it all there

[balmy narwhal]

reach expertise 30, upgrade an item to expertise 30 and use a proto core

[mossy imp]

i thought donate junk added each piece of junk to the proficiency of that specific item

[balmy narwhal]

it distributes it among the entire category

[mossy imp]

like... all assault rifles?

[agile pendant]

😵‍💫 thats a bit of work lol, proto core is dropped in that new mode right?

[balmy narwhal]

i mean, i did say the entire category

[jagged shell]

You can only donate a P416 AR to the P416 slot in expertise

[balmy narwhal]

proto cores only drop from raids and incursions, the gear drops in the new mode, but if you dont like what you get, you can deconstruct it and get a proto core that way

[jagged shell]

for example

[mossy imp]

that is what i thought but is that true even when donating all junk

[jagged shell]

All junk only goes to those gears that you marked as junk

[mossy imp]

yeah but where does the proficiency go. to those specific items you are donating right

[agile pendant]

nice i guess there is a point to do incursions after u get all the weapons from it.

[jagged shell]

like the overlords mask you marked as junk will turn into proficiency for that specific peice

[balmy narwhal]

you get 2 per incursion and raid, total of 6 proto cores now every week, not every time you complete it

[mossy imp]

i'll just keep donating all junk i guess

[jagged shell]

Well it depends, some pieces you need for a build you would want to make now, or in the future. You can be selective and keep some things that look useful. Or just brain off donate junk

[agile pendant]

weekly hard cap 🤢

[balmy narwhal]

thems the rules with the raids and incursion

[toxic musk]

I wonder where our mission will be at the end of this season

[balmy narwhal]

has been that way ever since they've been added to the game

[toxic musk]

(anywhere but Manning, I BEG)

[balmy narwhal]

its already foretold to be DARPA Labs

[toxic musk]

the noise that one streamer made watching TLoU2

[balmy narwhal]

what?

[north fog]

Do you mean the bunny/hunt in the game?

[toxic musk]

"That's the cutest thing I've ever seen in my life"

Said cute thing gets hit by an arrow

I can't even spell out the noise that was made

[balmy narwhal]

i got no damn clue what youre saying but im going to pretend i understand you and nod along the way

[toxic musk]

If only GIFs worked here

[balmy narwhal]

keep using your magic spells, wizard

[jagged shell]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ZoXlLG40E71zW

[toxic musk]

I CAST: IMMENSE CONFUSION

[hollow escarp]

already half way through the season rewards track damn, loving the BTSU gear

[toxic musk]

Anyway, god I love the Black Tvsk aesthetic this season. I will be sad when they never use it again

Reached into that users mind, it would seem

[north fog]

If I run Countdown on challenge, and target Gloves. Plus get the Exotic cache when I can. In theory I should eventually get the BTSU Gloves right?

[jagged shell]

Yes

[agile pendant]

btw did i catch the end of new update trailer correctly?? new dlc for div 2 coming soon?

[balmy narwhal]

at some point, although they also can drop from Faye Lau and BT Supporters

[jagged shell]

I do think you're better off doing retaliation though

[cedar zephyr]

imagine new div 2 dlc before crossplay

[kind veldt]

imagine

dragons

[toxic musk]

Faye Lau is so cool. A damn shame what happened happened

[balmy narwhal]

What is getting added later this year:

Crossplay
New DLC based on Central Park
New Incursion free of charge
New Classified missions, we already got 1 the other one will be later this month

[jagged shell]

SURVIVORS

[toxic musk]

Waow, dragons that I'm imagining

[balmy narwhal]

based Vector pfp

[balmy narwhal]

Dont get your hopes up, they didnt mention it in the stream and they never gave us a window

[toxic musk]

Didn't they say hopefully before this year ends

[balmy narwhal]

for all we know an dcare about, that thing is coming 2027 or 2028

[jagged shell]

Lightweight M4 clears

[agile pendant]

faye crawled so kelso could fly 😉

[balmy narwhal]

im not talking about what is better, im talking about the PFP and where it came from

[jagged shell]

I will not survive a 2 year wait for Survival, what a missed opportunity

[agile pendant]

damn good to see ubi giving support to this game...

[toxic musk]

Faye got got by us so Kelso could tase us

She also had to go

[balmy narwhal]

i mean, its the game that has gotten them a lot of money next to R6, but the only one that is actually good

[jagged shell]

I WILL argue, running the Lightweight M4 and winning 2v1s in Last Stand were the good days

[toxic musk]

I'm sad we only get the base Operator outfits in Div 2. I would KILL for Ying's elite skin

[balmy narwhal]

yeah you can take the wall then

[balmy narwhal]

Tbh, i dont even want more damned R6 collabs or other games collabs, i want actual military and police aesthetic, ems aesthetic among other things too

so many R6 collabs at this point in time, whats the number? 5? 6 possibly with the anniversary?

[undone timber]

well the cool thing is theres apparel that appeals to everyone

[toxic musk]

The bunny freaks me out, though

Why's he looking like he's going to eat my damn head off

[balmy narwhal]

hardly anything appealed to me, my aesthetic choices for apparel spins faster than my moral compass when the antagonist is a french lady

[agile pendant]

yeh.. lol too bad they keep trying to make ghost recon into this weird open world thingy. i miss the days of graw1/2 and future soldier

[edgy fable]

DZ outfit hahaha

[undone timber]

4 if you count the thermite outfit

[balmy narwhal]

the JTF outfit is so bad, i would had preffered the UCP outfit or even UCP-D than the MultiCam outfit we got

[toxic musk]

Fashion is an ever evolving thing after all

[balmy narwhal]

yeah but atleast Div 1's fashion appealed more to me, lots of EMS, Police and Military themed outfits, why cant we have the same in Div 2?

[toxic musk]

I'm still oddly annoyed they de-valued Ruin's mask

[jagged shell]

What's funny is the bones of a good customization system was always here, we just didn't have good enough cosmetics until the last few seasons where we've been getting banger outfits and pieces

[brazen elm]

flashy outfits appeal to more unfortunately

[toxic musk]

Why is the Shattered Hunter version still exotic smh

[balmy narwhal]

its all just goofy ass skins, the only one that came close to even scratching that itch was the Avatar collab with the RDA Sec Ops outfit

i hate how lack luster the vest looks but its the best i got that can just keep me at ease

[toxic musk]

I'm loving the Team 9 outfits, personally. They're very mmm

[agile pendant]

oh what the helly... there is a new graphic settings lmao. how does the game perform with realism mode

[undone timber]

ive been using the countdown outfit since the beginning of the season

[toxic musk]

I've got a mix of the BTSU hat, Countdown/Elite and.....Stitch, I think

[brazen elm]

been using the jacket from the krampus event last christmas

[toxic musk]

With the scarf?

[balmy narwhal]

oh and also we could dress like the enemy factions, if we completed missions and if we bought the outfits, that was another thing that i loved about Div 1

[undone timber]

the sgt sawyer jacket is also incredibly drippy

[brazen elm]

yeah, don't like that part but it looks better from the back

[toxic musk]

Oh yeah, Sgt Sawyer has DRIP

I don't like the sunglasses having the True Sons flag thing on the eye, though. Wish that was a tattoo or something

[toxic musk]

I think that's my issue with most of the apparel from that event, it's too....seasonal for me, I suppose

That, or I'm just a Scrooge

[balmy narwhal]

honestly the scratched glasses makes it funny for me, i use glasses and they got some scratches, not too big as the true son's glasses but they do get in the way a bit, cant imagine having big scratches on them, its a miracle they can hit anything at all

[balmy narwhal]

Mr Scrooge, is time for bedtime

[toxic musk]

I mean, the non Eldrich Horror (Engineer) allies from last season struggled to hit the broad side of a head

[worldly marsh]

So are anyone elses retaliations broken? I started at 99% did an enitre BT stronghold and im still at 99%

[balmy narwhal]

nah jk, i didnt really like anything from the winter event lmao, i guess at best the helmet? but thats about it

[toxic musk]

I liked the BTSU winter set

[balmy narwhal]

If you got another one active, those at 99% will NOT activate

[undone timber]

you cant have multiple active retals

[worldly marsh]

fr???

[balmy narwhal]

for instance, if you got a true son or hyena retal but youre killing BT, the BT retal is not going to pop up until you deal with the current retal you got or abandon your current retal

[toxic musk]

Technically you can, I think. But you would have to get the same group over 200%

(I haven't done that myself so I might be wrong)

[balmy narwhal]

you are lmao

[toxic musk]

Gods greatest misinformation spreader

[balmy narwhal]

because he's talking about it not popping up despite killing more BT, as mentioned, if you got another Retal active, be it from any faction other than BT, you are not going to activate it untl you abandon your current retal or you finish it, either or and only then you can kill again BT and make the retal be them

[toxic musk]

Unrelated, I dislike how basically all the backpacks kinda float off your body

[worldly mulch]

the straps are there to prevent it from floating away

[toxic musk]

We got the helium backpacks

[worldly mulch]

the go-bag

[polar thorn]

how do you get huntsman outfit?

[toxic musk]

Wait until an event where he/a version of him is around, unfortunately

You can get his mask, gloves and bag with tomato ketchup over it if someone has a Bloody Houndsman bounty though, I believe

[mossy imp]

My game just froze in the middle of countdown

The music is still going, and sound effects

Hasn't happened before in over 50 hrs

[balmy narwhal]

Huntsman or Houndsman?
Huntsman wait for a rerun of the store since that was a Survive Fest reward
Houndsman, there's no way other than hoping for you that they put it on the store

[toxic musk]

Ohh, whoops. I misread that as Houndsman

[undone timber]

all roads lead to mun muns

[balmy narwhal]

yeah, if you missed it the first time, lmao just buy it

cuz the first version was tied to halloween, the second version was tied to valentines day

[undone timber]

i do appreciate that it was free for a week though

both of them were even

[toxic musk]

Oh yeah, that was peak

[balmy narwhal]

both of them were free for a week, should you grind enough

[undone timber]

got some fancy skill visual and the entire set free of charge

[toxic musk]

I'm weirded out at the odd angle your pistol maintains on the outfit, though

Why are you weirdly in (but not really) the pocket instead of, well. On a holster somewhere else

[undone timber]

the trench coat sort of designs they developed without a holster have your sidearm just hooked on the pocket

[toxic musk]

The outfit is so damn peak except for that TINY detail

[balmy narwhal]

not a fan of it lmao, but i collect everything free first chance i can

i just want a Faye outfit rerun

[toxic musk]

It's oh so brooding

[toxic musk]

Same, low-key. I kinda want her eye patch

[balmy narwhal]

i mean, edgy outfit after all

[balmy narwhal]

i hope the eye patch is separate, i kinda want only the outfit

[toxic musk]

Wearing that blasts Three Days Grace outfit

[balmy narwhal]

didnt get a good glimpse on it so i forgot if it was separate or if it was included

[balmy narwhal]

was thinking more My Chemical Romance

[toxic musk]

It is, I remember seeing it in the store when I first started playing

[balmy narwhal]

3DG is more funny edgy

[toxic musk]

I want a Hunter outfit that screams "I listen to Limp Bizkit" tbh

(I jest)

Gimme the baggy T-shirt red hat Hunter, raaa

[worldly mulch]

all hunter fits can be nu metal fits if you think hard enough

[toxic musk]

It'd be crazy seeing a Hunter taunt you by playing Rollin'

"Back up back up" on loop, repeatedly until they die

I wish the colour palettes that came with this season had the camo and reds of the outfits, it's quite annoying not having a matching colour for the rest of your gear

[jagged shell]

I do want a star sign gear dye, as tacky as it would look

[nocturne elk]

Doing those escalation missions without seasonal mods is harderdenamutherfugga

Joined someone on T7 and i was like no seasonal mods? He said no, then at the boss they struggled to stay alive 😭 we finished the mission but christ that was harder than necessary

[jagged shell]

Super sponges, even with the modifiers

[hollow escarp]

just tryna game man and i keep getting video TDR failures & crashes :(

[nocturne elk]

Yeah but i like getting my revive hive a lost faster in case people go down

[balmy narwhal]

anything beyond tier 5 starts to be a mega sponge, you can use all the season modifiers you want, theyre not gonna make it easy and theyre barely gonna make a dent

[jagged shell]

I feel the mag size is a HUGE difference

[icy comet]

Hey guys, I am still learning the game, I have looked into some LMGs I would like and people suggest countdown. Is it possible if I play solo joining randoms?? i don't want to inconvenience anyone if i am not super powerful :)

[polar thorn]

Huntsman.

[balmy narwhal]

then yeah, wait for rerun of the store if its the Huntsman, not Houndsman

[jagged shell]

The Pestilence is very very fun simple to build just all Red cores

[nocturne elk]

The cooldown modifier is definitely a boon 🤷🏿‍♂ id rather have it than not idc about the enemies being sponges but when people keep going down and I'm the only one rocking revive, it just helps a lot lol

[polar thorn]

damn, I thought I could obtain it via bounty or something like that

[brave idol]

Who the heck is huntsman

[balmy narwhal]

then youre speaking about the HOUNDSMAN, not HUNTSMAN

[nocturne elk]

Hunts ketchup

[balmy narwhal]

Survive Fest outfit that was given to like 5 to 10 people for free and the rest of us had to buy it

[jagged shell]

@icy comet The MG5 or Infantry MG5 is also an insane LMG to use, I recommend it with Fast Hands or Streamline if you don't use skills

[balmy narwhal]

Houndsman on the other hand, is the guy who gives you the Quickstep should you have his bounty

[boreal marsh]

How do u get the bounty? I thought it was limited

[balmy narwhal]

you cant

[jagged shell]

Some held onto it

[boreal marsh]

And why is escalation locked for me?

[balmy narwhal]

this basically, i held onto mines but i no longer host the quickstpe after some dumbasses costed me 2 of the bounties

[balmy narwhal]

are you level 40 already and already leveling up your watch instead?
If yes, you just approach the escalation station
If no, lmao, level up

[boreal marsh]

Yes I’ll try tomorrow I didn’t know it was a station I thought it was like countdown

[jagged shell]

oh

[balmy narwhal]

that too, if you want to run any tier you need tokens, you always start at tier 0

[rose skiff]

Should I craft the bighorn or eagle bearer first

[jagged shell]

Also I think theres an issue with escalation tokens being the biggest risk to the host, you will allow the non host users to feel less pressure in preserving the run

I had someone quit in T6 as soon as he went down, if 3 people decide to ditch your run you took all the risk and lose your tokens, they lose nothing

[balmy narwhal]

yeah i believe they should add a counter to that

[jagged shell]

I think theres no issue with making everyone lose tokens if they fail a run (lose less if you are not the host), and still keep the host tokens system

if you have no tokens to lose? Go play a lower tier

[polar thorn]

eh? wait let me search about houndsman

Oh, that's pretty good outfit too

[gloomy kernel]

Quick question, how do i trigger a BT retaliation?

Invaded missions?

[brave idol]

Any bt activiry

Bounty, mission etc

[gloomy kernel]

Ohhh alr alr, thanks

[brave idol]

If you do the ball park escalation even at tier 0 fills the bar completely

[gloomy kernel]

Will do

[lyric pelican]

anyone running quickstep bounty

[nocturne elk]

Facts

It is very lame how the gamble only affects you and not the team if people leave.

[oblique peak]

Devs post anything today about escalation?

[worldly marsh]

is it worth to craft bluescreen? or should i save my mats for when i get the oro and bighorn bp from retal??

[valid sable]

Way better than ouro or bighorn (unless you do pvp).

Youll get them all eventually

[icy comet]

Yea that's the LMG I was looking for, people said to run Countdown to get it but I am very new and don't wanna annoy people XD

[oblique peak]

@worldly marsh A bluescreen OD build is really strong

[lunar hare]

Ongoing Girective?

[surreal mulch]

whats the skull mission on the map about ?

[alpine lantern]

escalation..

[surreal mulch]

i just did one but it didnt seem like escalation though ?

[lunar hare]

it indicates the mission is available as Escalation, hold Z on the menu to Escalate it.

[alpine lantern]

tier 0 is just heroic, tier 1-3 is heroic+.. tier 4 and higher it starts to get a little harder 😉

[hybrid ore]

^Base Escalation is just a regular Heroic mission in difficulty.
as it goes up in Tier, it gets harder, and adds "Mutators".

[surreal mulch]

ahhh ok that explains why it seems like a normal mission on heroic

[eternal rock]

the retallation update is so buggy lol

they better fix this next update bruh

[spring trench]

yea the daily project for outcasts doesnt seem to want to work, and mine get stuck at 99% for awhile until it decides to tick over

[hybrid ore]

@spring trench Finish/fail/cancel any active/full Retaliations, then try again.

Seems to fix the Projects bug.

[spring trench]

does it just immediately give you the full 100% from it at that point? cause ive done some retaliations today i just dont know if the one i got was from just doing stuff or the project finally getting put in

[hybrid ore]

It's choppy, but the Projects seem to advance the best when you have no Retaliations at 100%, or Red.
so basically: finish/fail/cancel.

I'd suggest finish if you have the time. Team-9 isn't going to farm itself, and spawns in any faction's Retal.

[spring trench]

hmm ill have to pay attention with tomorrows, thank you. do you know why they seem to get stuck at 99%? i had TS/BT/OC all at 99% after doing bounties and random stuff

i finally started a control point after and the TS one started but i did some other stuff and neither of the others maxed

[hybrid ore]

Yeah you can only have one maxed (red) at a time.

once you've dealt with that one, you can kill a few enemies of the other faction and it'll activate one that should be at 100%.

[spring trench]

i didnt have any at the time, is it bugged that you cant have more than one or intended cause i know ive had more than 1 at a time before and i think atleast once since Y8 dropped

[scenic stream]

What time is reset?

[lunar hare]

in 3 hours and 10mins

[drowsy pewter]

I hope they bring good stuff to the cosmetic store..

[scenic stream]

Appreciate it

And uh what’s a good proficiency farm to go with the event at reset? I’m just getting back into the game and trying to catch up…

[spring trench]

my understanding is countdown is still good, retaliations are decent aswell

[scenic stream]

Thanks

[small plume]

Ngl, the Strega is lovely.
There's no armor which can withstand it.

[lunar hare]

theres a better way but requires having houndsman or krampus bounties, its a cheesing method

[spring trench]

my only problem with strega is its hard to use with a group, or atleast a group of randoms cause trying to get the final hit in its rough could be nice if it was based on damage done or like total hits to target or something

[small plume]

Well, I play solo for a reason.

I don't have friends.

[spring trench]

i mostly play "solo" i just do matchmaking for stuff like countdown and i wish i could untilize strega in that content but its just not really a good option

[pure bobcat]

u not need friends , no exist friends and bro in games and intrent only exist ppl is u friens and bro when nedd you next bick uou dor space

kicl you

[small plume]

What is bro yappin'?

[spring trench]

yea i kinda thought the booze kicked in, in that last half lol or a stroke

[small plume]

Dude is drunk in a Monday.

[surreal mulch]

what ter does proto type gear starts dropping ?

[spring trench]

technically any level lol

[lunar hare]

it drops in any but chances increase by small asf amounts

[strong current]

Just got delta 03 mid black tusk retal, thrice already today

[edgy fable]

Don't try below tier 3/4, not worth your time

[lunar hare]

comfy spot is T4-6

[surreal mulch]

fuuuuuuk then i'm just unlucky then

ran thorugh at least 5 times now going into 6 havent got one yet

[edgy fable]

Keep farming tier 4/5 for a while and some will drop

Also good to collect tokens

[surreal mulch]

you guys got any that is consider good ?

[lunar hare]

only one which fits in a veeery specific build

[edgy fable]

No good drops but some decent upgraded ones

[pure bobcat]

idiot u drunk is u moom

[drowsy pewter]

huh

[surreal mulch]

welp hope i got some that can work with a build

[edgy fable]

For now I just care about proto weapons

[small plume]

Are they really that important?

[alpine lantern]

they just look cool in your inventory..

[small plume]

Makes sense.

Man, I really need a Kard Custom...

It's the last piece of my Exodia, my Hunter's Fury build.

[drowsy pewter]

How many times can a kill squad spawn during retalliation? i have 3/4 checkpoint left to capture and i still got 20 minutes remaining

[small plume]

I got 2.

Wish my luck agaisnt the Hyenas retalliation in Jud. Square.

[drowsy pewter]

i hope they make exotics prototypes..i want my nimble holster

[hoary glade]

Is it just me or are there control points bugs that wont trigger completion even after you cleared everything

[spark ruin]

Is d1 servers shut down?

[drowsy pewter]

reached rank 100 before the 1st weekly reset..felin good

[small plume]

Hyenas Retalliation is hard, man.

At least a headshot build helps, but they have helmets, kinda stressful.

I kinda loved it.

[drowsy pewter]

Personally the issue isn't the helmets- it's the fact that their rusher, the weaker enemy type, has a helmet, usually the type of enemy you'd 1 shot for a headshot build..

when i want to farm for exotic caches or named caches or anything else like a reconstructed cache, i usually force the outcasts instead, since NONE of their enemies have helmets, and when "fully stacked" on a headshot build it 1 shots anything, except their tank and their "LMG Boss" types

[small plume]

How do I get the weird 35 exotic parts for the Overdogs?

[drowsy pewter]

what are their names?, the exotic part it asks you

[small plume]

Automated something.

I need 35 of those things.

[drowsy pewter]

black tusk retals

[small plume]

How did you guys got Overdogs before this update?

[polar thorn]

that quick?

[drowsy pewter]

Pretty sure it was the same way.., just a random drop, or season reward..

[polar thorn]

exotic cache, I got twice

[drowsy pewter]

beginning days were wild

[polar thorn]

damn

[remote lynx]

@drowsy pewter A fellow Tenno here nice, glad to meet an agent and a Tenno at the same time 🙂

[drowsy pewter]

I hopped on warframe as soon as i did everything this week lol, time to wait till weekly reset in 20 minutes

[analog axle]

Are the servers down rn?

[edgy fable]

Nope

[drowsy pewter]

no

[edgy fable]

You playing in Asia region maybe?

Those servers seem to have issues the past two days

[analog axle]

Na north america

Says my save game is unavailable right now, that's a new one lol

[edgy fable]

Keep an eye on downdetector or report yourself

[vale mauve]

So what’s best way to level expertise from today? I’m guessing retaliation is better than CD now?

[edgy fable]

#ask-td2-community message

[analog axle]

There it goes that was weird

[edgy fable]

Cheers

[analog axle]

Rolled back about a half hour of inventory management though so that's fun lol

[tender wave]

Craft them

[small plume]

I'll look for it tomorrow.

[feral knoll]

I am about to scroll, but have there been changes? (no there have not to answer my own question).

[polar thorn]

Asia server is fine

[drowsy pewter]

hopping on to see the current reset..

[feral knoll]

hmm, time to run countdown heroic to hunt for some more core strength.

[drowsy pewter]

So the new missions for escalation are
army terminal
bank headquarters
space hq
roosevelt island
coney island amusement park!

Proficiency XP event is up

[feral knoll]

time to power-level, lol.

[lunar hare]

lincoln when 😩

[fallow sentinel]

Anyone managed to progress Scout 2?

[drowsy pewter]

I'd love to try to play the reset but it's late af

no new stuff in the cosmetic store tho :c

[ember gale]

trying to figure it out myself

[mild dagger]

I got a bullshit rolled Investor mask T_T Is there anyway to get other one?

[deft pivot]

you ca reroll it on the workbench

[ember gale]

i solved it @fallow sentinel

kill 3 hyena snipers. I did it via a territory control.

[fallow sentinel]

even though it says kill 25 Hyenas XD?

[ember gale]

thats the first part of the manhunt

the second objective is to kill 3 hyena snipers

[mild dagger]

I see. Thank you

[fallow sentinel]

So killing 25 worked for you?

[ember gale]

yep

[noble pulsar]

(it's in Downtown East)

[fallow sentinel]

Interesting I am getting no progress

[ember gale]

25 hyenas, 3 hyena snipers, 2 hyena bounties. Thats the objectives for this week's scout.

[fallow sentinel]

Weird I get zero progress XD

Done MLK, Grand Washington and nothing

[ember gale]

i think it must be in the open world

[ember gale]

invite me in, I see if I can help on your end. That is if you are willing?

[deft pivot]

is a pain to get something decent, i spent almost 100 exotic components to get a full red

[balmy narwhal]

Is it me or the Hyena stuff isnt moving?

[fallow sentinel]

swapped characcters and it works

[balmy narwhal]

Ive wiped all checkpoints now in Downtown East and stuff hasnt moved now

[fallow sentinel]

swapping back to check XD

nope no progrss on myu main XD

[ember gale]

hmmm

[pseudo lark]

did escalation missions reset yet? any good ones this week?

[ember gale]

if you're willing, pull me in. Same name as discord. I'll see what I can do to help

[bronze siren]

Hello new here

[mighty girder]

Army Terminal
Bank Headquarters
Space Administration HQ
Roosevelt Island
Coney Island Amusement Park

[edgy fable]

Half of last week

[tender wave]

Maybe same issue as projects, where you can't get progress while you have any active retaliations?

[ember gale]

can't be. I have an active retaliation and I can do the scout just fine

[balmy narwhal]

Yeah, just proved it, its this

Only when i cancelled my retal the number started rising

[ember gale]

cannot be though. I have an active retaliation against the true sons and I can do the scout

[balmy narwhal]

Brother, i literally just canceled my retals and the number started rising, got a Hyena retal now and the number stopped going up

[harsh peak]

[edgy fable]

This game is full of unexplainable mysteries

[ember gale]

eh probably a bug or smth idk

[balmy narwhal]

Bugs? In Ubisoft's games? Unheard of

[feral knoll]

oh yeah the expertise boost this week is gonna help.

[jagged canyon]

What if instead of the anniversary event we got they put Napalm production site, Lexington event center and the United Nations missions into div 2 as. it would have been fun to take on the original 3 big bads but with division 2 gameplay

[balmy narwhal]

There's hardly any difference between Div 1 and Div 2 gameplay

[jagged canyon]

the movement system

[mighty girder]

that would require remaking at least those locations with the summer theming

[balmy narwhal]

It's the same?

[jagged canyon]

oh no it is not

[feral knoll]

"hardly any difference" wouldn't be so sure about that.

[balmy narwhal]

I hardly dont see any difference between them when i can still do the same as Div 1, only fasted cuz quickstep, or lady death, if youre fancy

[mighty girder]

i'd say div 2 movement is a more refined version of div 1's movement

[jagged canyon]

you can't even run left or right. best they can give you is a diagonal

[balmy narwhal]

That said, that would still require them to remake the levels, specially with the aftermath that we left behind

[feral knoll]

the entire notion that sections of Div1 can be dropped into Div2 wholesale with minimal to no changes, is very flawed.

[balmy narwhal]

Assuming the hurricane didnt finish off the already crumbling places

More so the napalm site

[hybrid ore]

Yeah nothing from div1 can be "copied" into div2, the devs have confirmed that for us already.
Anything taken from 1, is remade entirely for 2.

[jagged canyon]

I literally meant like just a copy paste of the missions. and no I don't mean that the process would be a copy paste. I know they'd have to rebuild it all from scratch same as they had to with brooklyn

[balmy narwhal]

And thatd be a lil wee deviating just for nostalgia, id say they should focus on more pressing matters than just remaking 3 missions for nostalgia

[hybrid ore]

so it's not a "copy paste". It's making entirely new maps and missions.

[balmy narwhal]

That's just a remaster then

[jagged canyon]

yes

[hybrid ore]

Not even a remaster, a remake from scratch.

[balmy narwhal]

Would had been easier to say remaster lmao

And yeah, remake is more appropriate

[mighty girder]

there are more important things to do for the game than remake 3 missions that make no sense to put in now

[balmy narwhal]

But that would still be deviating a lot that could had been used on more pressing matters, protos for instance, specifically, recalibration for them

And Survivors alongside crossplay

[jagged canyon]

I don't really care for what you wanna call it. I just said the same missions in div 2. and yeah it would be for nostalgia. isn't that kinda a great way to have a 10 year celebration

[feral knoll]

look, more missions (and new) would be welcome, there's hardly argument there. however the most recent season has had a rough launch so more pressing matters will occupy the team for a bit.

[jagged canyon]

also I only said it would have been fun. I'm happy with what we got. it's not that deep

[mighty girder]

not sure i would want to relive the days of spamming lexington 24/7 during a GE tho

[balmy narwhal]

No, lmao, id say getting more content than replaying some already existing mission from the previous game just in a different shade of orange would be far better than 3 missions for nostalgia

Again, there's more pressing matters than the pink glasses of nostalgia

[mighty girder]

the days of turning on tactical strike and then getting murdered instantly after spawn camping larae

[balmy narwhal]

Hey man, its either that or Amherst, take your pick

[tender peak]

Anyone got an overview of the boosts from the proficiency XP event?

[mighty girder]

3x proficiency xp gain. that's it

[feral knoll]

^^^

[balmy narwhal]

"i bought the speedometer, ill use the whole speedometer" type deal

[jagged canyon]

again it's not that deep. I didn't say "They are ruining the game they should add old stuff bc these devs can't make anything good so they should just use what the competent former devs did and make a profit"

I said it would have been a fun thing to do. that's all. please take off the tin foil hat. there is no conspiracy. no one is trying to get in the way of the QoL updates

[feral knoll]

pestilence + creeping death is amusing

[jagged canyon]

My conflict matches disagree

[brazen elm]

please tell me youre using something else that does status effects

[mighty girder]

pestilence effect is not a status effect though

[tender peak]

What does that apply to?

• XP rate when using the item in loadout
• Gear / weapon donations - e.g 4x 44,000 XP per weapon / named item?
• Resource donations - eg Printer Filament

[hybrid ore]

^Or rather "something that does status effects"

[feral knoll]

yeah, just realised.

[mighty girder]

all of them

[tender peak]

Brilliant, cheers

[jagged canyon]

EMP pulse is great for creeping death

[feral knoll]

it will mean using an item will see a 3x increase in xp gain, using materials will be three-fold in value as will donations. As the thing describes.

[feral knoll]

good point.

creeping death would work for hollow-point tho?

[brisk copper]

The Manhunt seems to be buged No counting Hyenea kills.

[strange meteor]

abort all retaliations

[alpine lantern]

same here.. i did a hyena heroic bounty in downtown east and still 0/25..

[feral knoll]

active, rather than all?

[hybrid ore]

Okay I checked, having no Retal active/red lets you progress the Scout.

[jagged canyon]

that's crazy

[gray crescent]

That was it thank you a lot

[earnest shuttle]

Guys whats the proficiency event at ?

X3 or what

[feral knoll]

x3.

[earnest shuttle]

Damnnn

Fair enough

[hybrid ore]

Sorry for the quick mod abuse, but just 100% confirming that the Scout needs the Retals' to be off in order to work:

[mighty girder]

mod abuse

@ modmail

[jagged canyon]

Sentenced to 20 runs of heroic countdown with nothing but a double barrel shotgun sidearm

[hybrid ore]

Highest DPS in the game? Deal.

[oblique peak]

Do directives effect proficiency XP?

[mighty girder]

heroic countdown with the exhausted equipment 6 piece classified set

[glass matrix]

what u mean with retals?

[fallow sentinel]

I swapped character and it worked

[fervent cipher]

Thats weird, I didnt have any problems with scout 1 with a bt retal

[glass matrix]

wow its not working for me till i give up my retals 😄 thanks for that

[azure galleon]

Good to know that I won't be starting any till that's done lol

Luckily finally got the last 2 BP's from BT ones yesterday; done with all of them now.
But 37/38 runs for Rav+Eagle was awful.

[hollow hill]

To @floral ore this is just another day to bro to be honest 😂

[azure galleon]

Can you reroll Eagle btw, or just re-craft it?

[floral ore]

I was summoned

[hollow hill]

Reroll I'm pretty sure. If you don't have the blueprint, check Inaya

[azure galleon]

Just did, but she isn't featuring the option to buy it.
She has the Overdogs one now tho!

[hollow hill]

How's them countdown runs been? 🙏

[hollow hill]

Log off, log in. Check again. If no blueprint, you may have to obtain the gun via the raid to get it

[floral ore]

Traumatised myself from the mode (rng ahh) and haven't run since the 20% movement speed overdrive and currently experiencing division burnout

[fervent cipher]

Okay now scout 2 ain't counting with my bt retal

[feral knoll]

is it red/ active? that appears to be the blocking cause.

[floral ore]

Still need to complete full red glass flawless with no countermeasures at some point but thats for when I actually feel engaged in the game

[hollow hill]

Felts that. I'm reaching the same point. I miss interacting with you and the other guys

[azure galleon]

Ty, relogging did work. No raid needed.

[fervent cipher]

Yep, lemme grind this one out eq

[floral ore]

just checking something realquick, protomac?

[hollow hill]

[azure galleon]

I assume DTTOC is still the only stat worth going for on Eagle, hu?

[floral ore]

me understand it now

[alpine lantern]

you need to kill hyena snipers.. i found one in east mall / terrority control +1.. he was on the balcony of the building..

[brisk copper]

Thanks for the advice it worked turning Retali off.

[oblique peak]

Outside of using shd levels to dump mats into proficiency whats the best way to actually level when playing the game?

[hollow hill]

As of right now, level 4 control points with directives enabled. If you want the MOST efficient farm, Wait during an XP event tho and just run national bond armory classified assignment

[brisk copper]

Where is the AID Station for part 2

[azure galleon]

Welp, the grind was awful but this was quick.

[hollow hill]

I would say if there's a global event, run national bond... But devs nerfed that hard and I doubt there's a toggle global event

[oblique peak]

@hollow hill Huh people just said directive do not effect proficiency xp

[glass matrix]

good question

[hollow hill]

Oh you meant expertise. In that case just run countdown on an empty character with a striker build and donate every piece of junk loot you pick up

[fervent cipher]

Well i tried to, but a bug happened

[sage thicket]

Is that the fastest way?

[oblique peak]

@hollow hill Im past that point, im doing 18-30 so its skills, exotics, and rarer named items

[alpine lantern]

it worked for me.. 3 hyena terrority controls = 3 snipers..

[azure galleon]

Run Challenging (people mess up heroic all the time..) and switch weapons when maxed.
Can't really be faster than that, outside of XP to mats.

I'd focus mats on stuff you don't have / can't obtain, like Regulus and event/time limited stuff.

[hollow hill]

Target skill mods/gear mods, deconstruct down to printer filaments. Donate printer to rarer loot

[umbral oak]

Seems like more people are upset with escalation lately, at least on reddit anyway

[sage thicket]

That's what I've been doing but it's really, really slow. I do have Regulus and some other raid exotics from Ye Olden Times.

[hollow hill]

To be fair it IS reddit, which includes basically a variety of skill varying players

[mighty girder]

it's been nerfed now, it's only benefit is that you now don't get randomly ganked by a resource convoy

[void pewter]

is it really BT retal blocking the scout 2? i dont wanna forfeit it just to realize thats not it 😄

[hollow hill]

They nuked control point xp too?

[azure galleon]

Yea Expert 30 is a really long term goal.
Anything beyond a level per day (via Countdown and such) isn't going to feel nice anymore tbh.

[mighty girder]

no, it's just that nba on heroic offers the same xp as a level 4 control point

[sage thicket]

I mean I'm nearing 10 and it's been horrible even to this stage.

[grim charm]

Don't worry it's going to get alot worse

[umbral oak]

Yeah I know, just worried this update will end up hurting crossplay and the dlc later this year

[void pewter]

up to like 14-15 its free, just donate junk, after that it gets rough

[hollow hill]

Ohhh yeah that I know. I did mention wait until an XP event so you actually get more bang for your buck out of it since you can clear national bond in like 2m with turmoil and 1 shot build

[mighty girder]

I pity people without Krampus and/or Houndsman bounty

[azure galleon]

Switch it up with retals (can also target loot) for the BP's if Countdown bothers you.
I did the same, coming back to countdown now for the exo caches.

[zenith urchin]

every nbb build i see on the subreddit kills me slightly

[mighty girder]

Personally I think it's only faster if a GE is active

Oh wait nvm it's still faster without it

[feral knoll]

3x expertise boost definitely making a difference; it's a grind but this week it's worth focusing on.

[lunar hare]

bc it is you dummy

[polar thorn]

im back from work, time to grind the damn expertise.

[safe jungle]

waht are answer scout 2

[feral knoll]

reminder: this week is an expertise XP event.

[sage thicket]

I've been running Countdowns mostly, since Retaliations somehow stress me a lot more than CD's.

[hollow hill]

I played tf out of it during 5x XP events with my girl with a global event and got her to 1k very quickly

[mighty girder]

you have to wait 500000 years for the game to tp you to the white house, then tp back to the mission start location, then start the mission

[safe jungle]

anyone here

[hollow hill]

I just waited until I got to the end and disabled/enabled the event. Respawned me right at the mission

[lunar hare]

so when you deactivate the GE it sends you to the BoO?

[hollow hill]

Did it just release today?

[safe jungle]

yeah

[mighty girder]

no, if there's no GE it does that, i don't know what it will be like with a GE yet because there is none rn

[hollow hill]

Wait like 4 hours and a nerd here will have it figured out. DJ Tickle would be the one to watch for that

[umbral oak]

Nah

[vital cave]

Good morning How much exotic component you needfor the expertise upgrade

[hollow hill]

45

[tender wave]

People have already figured it out further up this channel I think, but it's not always tracking if you have active retaliations which makes it harder

[vital cave]

Oh boy thanks

[cobalt elm]

Is someone able to tell me what the new escalation missions are pls?

[hollow hill]

Better than the 90 it used to be lol

[grim charm]

Was kinda hoping for some bugfixes with the weekly reset 😩

[vital cave]

God dam

[hollow hill]

Those don't happen until 8 years later

[azure galleon]

God i love the new set so far.

Over 2.5m armor (+0 pieces), lvl 6 shield, lvl 3 artificer (with ~80% repair/haste), enough regen to tank master/legendary heavies.. and still ~6m dps.

[umbral oak]

I wouldn't expect that until mid season

[flat solstice]

Whats the build?

[hollow hill]

Core Strength and wouldn't recommend it for PvE

[umbral oak]

Sometimes I forget this is an official server tbh

[tender wave]

From what I saw in here,

1. || Hyena kills in the specified area||
2. ||Hyena sniper kills in the specified area ||
3. No-one has mentioned yet

[azure galleon]

4pc Core Strength + Catharsis, with the last slot being optional depending on weapon used.

[vital cave]

Also never knew the proficiency event can be this good true patriot expertise lvl 2 to 9 in 1 countdown

[lunar hare]

Here's the Scouts

[umbral oak]

What did hyena snipers do to deserve this exactly

[lunar hare]

be annoying asf

[mighty girder]

for health gating my ass 50215981239909 times

[floral ore]

how did it get nerfed?

[umbral oak]

Fair enough

[mighty girder]

xp basically halved, so now it's like a really fast level 4 control point

[umbral oak]

Cleaner snipers are way worse

[hollow hill]

It no longer rewards 1 full level for completing. It got sliced to half a level

[floral ore]

lmao thats hilarious

[polar thorn]

with shield?

[floral ore]

its about time they fixed it

[lunar hare]

how fast is it with Turmoil
if you beat 2:36mins I will believe it's faster than a CP4

[azure galleon]

Shield+Artificer, yea.
With the bonus to efficiency and such, it just heals your entire (~8m) shield in one hit.

[hollow hill]

Well, if they didn't remove the wait period between each classified mission, they probably wouldn't have nerfed it

[floral ore]

with a GE for toggle I can solo it and cycle every 1:50

[lunar hare]

try without GE

[floral ore]

that is without a GE, basic gameplay the GE is just to toggle reset

[lunar hare]

just need clear time

[floral ore]

oh 1:20 sometimes 1:10 if I get good turmoil proc on boss

[jagged canyon]

Okay so I'm terrible with stuff like this. What does GE stand for?

[floral ore]

but with loading and event toggle it comes to about 1:50 to 2 mins

[lunar hare]

clip that shit for me please

[floral ore]

Can't share here but I'll find it and put it in CCC

[lunar hare]

show build too
might as well edit it in my gdoc if you allow me

[umbral oak]

I spent so much time doing the puzzles classified missions are really that short?

[lunar hare]

Global Event

[remote pecan]

3. || 2 Hyena Bounties||

[lunar hare]

NBA is the fastest

[umbral oak]

I still need to do them on my PC account, just lazy and I'll have to look up puzzle guides again

[jagged canyon]

It's a baller of a mission tho

I'll see myself out

[umbral oak]

Please do

[noble pike]

Can someone Tell me how Long the prophency Event goes?

[umbral oak]

The what

[torn jacinth]

i dont get progress on the first step being in downtown east, do i need to do it in a specific area in downtown east itself? 😮

[lunar hare]

seems like swapping characters helps with this issue

[elfin hazel]

<t:1776153600:R> <t:1776153600:f>

[mighty girder]

i have zero strats and used a crap "speedrunning" build of 4pc striker with PGC and turmoil + a Tempest, and I cleared it in around 2:57

[frozen holly]

Wait, what! Since when? So, we can reenter and do CAs again?

[tender wave]

Afaik downtown east but don't have any outstanding retaliations

[elfin hazel]

since this update

[lunar hare]

FASTER!

[umbral oak]

Man, there really is a lot of issues this update

[frozen holly]

Oh, thats a good thing i think. 😁 Thanks for clarify.

[mighty girder]

i forgot to shoot the explosives inside the vault btw

[hollow hill]

Yes, was a recent change. They added 2 new classified assignments for 10 USD (major ripoff) so they wanted people to play the missions and get their money's worth (it's not worth it when you can save up 5 dollars and buy battle for Brooklyn which gives SO MUCH MORE)

[jagged canyon]

When does the second CA come out again. It was somewhere in may right?

[polar thorn]

share the build

[noble pike]

Thank you

[lunar hare]

rookie

[wicked wren]

Hey sorry new to division two played division one, I’m looking for help on a legendary mission for manning zoo for a daily, I tried the lfg discussion but nobody is active there

I boosted my character which is why I’m able to do it

[hollow hill]

Matchmake it

[near spire]

matchmake it in game.

[wicked wren]

Tried that and nobody joined

[jagged canyon]

Yeah what they said

[wicked wren]

Been matchmaking for an hour

[near spire]

werird, never had to wait this long for mission matchmake :/

[hollow hill]

You're likely playing at a time where there's low player count. Plus PlayStation has a massive bug RN with the graphical system

[wicked wren]

It could also be that I live in Japan, maybe it’s not that popular out here

[hollow hill]

That too

[mighty girder]

can you emp blast the door to speed it up

[umbral oak]

I wouldn't consider battle for Brooklyn "much more"

[lilac cape]

weekly and daily project bugged?

[wicked wren]

Would any of yall be willing to help me, I can give you my PSN

[umbral oak]

Wild statement

[near spire]

not in game rn...

[hollow hill]

Alright, would you rather pay 10 dollars for just 2 missions, or pay 15 for a whole ass new map, 8 missions, 4 control points, a new skill, new gear, and a different place for retaliation?

If you like wasting 10 dollars on 2 missions you'll never touch ever again, I don't know what to tell you

I will live and die on the hill of "those 2 new classified missions are a major ripoff"

[jagged canyon]

10 bucks for 2 10 minute missions

Or 15 bucks for 4 replayable side missions, 3 main missions, an actual story, new gear, hunters, new map

Nah not much more at all

[azure galleon]

• Shield + Artificer
• Catharsis
• Core Strength (4 Piece, inkl. Chest)
• Variable slot for the last one

The 75% from CS allow you to run blue (Cathy, for the regen+weapon dmg) and yellow (one piece CS, to cap shield + hive) cores to reach lvl 6 shield with 3 red cores, while still getting a decent amount of weapon dmg and the skill efficiency boosts health/regen for shield/artificer.

[hollow hill]

Round of applause 👏 yeah Def not much more
Not at allllllll

Thankies for the screenshots LOL

[umbral oak]

A single skill and exotic mask isn't really new gear, and those missions are also not touched after doing them besides army terminal for the mask. The dlc is fine, but not really a comparison when both purchases aren't great

[hollow hill]

So why was Army Terminal on the escalation list? If you don't have BFB you won't be able to play that

[wicked wren]

Nvm then ty for your time

[jagged canyon]

Neither are those classified assignments. They have as much replay value as a regular mission only they're shorter

[glass matrix]

anyone has a clue where to find that f hyena sniper 😄

[umbral oak]

Prior to escalation those missions weren't much to replay

[hollow hill]

Also, "both purchases aren't all that great"

But somehow 10 dollars for 2 missions is better than BFB?

Truly the statement of all time

📸

[umbral oak]

I never said my argument was valid

[zenith urchin]

i just dumped 50 bucks for the biggest bundle
season pass, 20 levels, classified assignments, a ton of credits

[hollow hill]

Ooooooooof....... 💀

[jagged canyon]

I did the same

[hollow hill]

💀

[wet heath]

for this proficiency event, is it more beneficial to set target loot to gear mods and deconstruct them for printer filament, or is it better to set it to any gear slot or weapon type to donate those?

[umbral oak]

Can probably get a retaliation going if you don't feel like praying for checkpoints

[zenith urchin]

as someone that buys apparel and exotic gun skins it was worth it because its just the credit bundle with more stuff in it

[glass matrix]

did all the cps

[umbral oak]

Wait I forgot you to be in the specific area for scouts

[hollow hill]

Pick up junk in countdown, donate any easily obtained junk gear. For rarer loot yeah just target farm gear/skill mods and dump printer filaments

[feral knoll]

Imagine thinking one's own value judgement was universal and therefore the correct one.

[umbral oak]

Cursed acronym

[jagged canyon]

But classified assignments were always payed content and looking at how much you payed for the year 1 CA's the current price isn't the worse. Honestly BfB cost less then it's worth IMO which makes this CA bundle look bad

[lunar hare]

it was an issue back then but now you just gotta get used to them yk? happens everywhere

[tender wave]

Context is everything

[umbral oak]

Yeah true, I use them alot too

[azure galleon]

If the "Only pure breed red core build" crowd could read, they'd be angry now.

[jagged canyon]

Oh god no people just no

[lunar hare]

I was gonna make a bad joke

[wet heath]

isnt retaliation more loot now?

[feral knoll]

Can eat crayons real good so swings and roundabouts.

[umbral oak]

Five bucks for a ten minute mission isn't the worst thing Ubisoft has done

[hollow ore]

It kinda is tho

[umbral oak]

You pay more for the apparel

[hollow ore]

Correct. Roughly 5 dollars more. Which as pointman said, you could buy battle for Brooklyn for that much

[golden raptor]

On call of duty people pay 20 for a skin you cant even see

[hollow ore]

Most of the apparel they release is in between 15 - 30

[golden raptor]

World is gone

[glass matrix]

whats the "specific area" 😄

[hollow ore]

We will never get a 2 dollar bacon bundle ever again

[jagged canyon]

Honestly valid point. Paying 10 bucks for 2 missions or 20 bucks for 1 skin feels weird

On the other hand that skin can go anywhere with you and that mission is just that 10 minute experience. But you can play that mission as much as you want

[golden raptor]

My man knows ball.

[feral knoll]

People would complain if the missions were the cost of a single orange. Because humans.

[umbral oak]

Mainly downtown East for this one. I just forgot you can't just shoot a sniper somewhere in like federal triangle and it'll count

[hollow ore]

I'd rather pay that much instead of 10 dollars for 2 missions

[glass matrix]

cps are done but nope ... game isnt give me one 😄

[hollow ore]

Couldn't even buy a happy meal for 10 dollars tbh

[glass matrix]

well ... now its time for s&d

[umbral oak]

Then your only option is run around and pray

[feral knoll]

I don't believe you. (The cost is irrelevant, it's that there is a cost at all, hey). 🙂

[jagged canyon]

Honestly the division is a toxic af community for their devs. We constantly ask for new content. Then complain when we have to pay for it

We're like an mentaly abusive partner

[umbral oak]

You're the one arguing about paying for it though

[feral knoll]

"Give me more", "no not like that". Name a more iconic duo.

[hollow ore]

Nah if the prices of those 2 missions were actually decent, it would be worth it. Y1 Pass gives 8 missions for 20 dollars and other stuff too. This is just 2 missions for 10. Half as much as Y1 pass with not even half as much content

It's lazy and greedy

[umbral oak]

Y1 pass is only discounted to hell most of the time

[jagged canyon]

No pointman is. Idgas. I'll pay whatever they charge bc I got no impulse control

[feral knoll]

That may be so, but it's very evident that there is a cost at all is the sticking point, not the amount. Trying to negotiate how much is too much is just window dressing.

[polar thorn]

Time to grind, thanks alot.

[feral knoll]

@hollow ore ^^^

[umbral oak]

That checks out

[hollow ore]

@hollow hill did you buy the new dlc missions?

[feral knoll]

Anyway, countdowns siren song of "play me, you will get loot to feed to the expertise demon" calls once again.

[jagged canyon]

I feel like that's a shot at me

[hollow hill]

No because I actually value my money and won't waste it unless it offers decent content for the price

[umbral oak]

Probably

[golden raptor]

Whats the seasonal event today, the expertise thing?

[hollow ore]

😂 agreed

[umbral oak]

I think that's in a few more days

[golden raptor]

Oh

[inner grove]

I bought the year 1 pass thinking I was gonna miss out on important story missions 8 years later lol

[feral knoll]

expertise boost started today.

runs for a week, so get crack-a-lacking on expertise whilst it triples progress

[umbral oak]

It's ok they're basically completely retconned

[fallen jacinth]

Hey they're vital to the story like uhh finding out why that armour guy you kill in two seconds in the hotel is a jerk!

[jagged canyon]

Can you imagine having missed darpa labs. Would not get the plot today without that mission

[zenith urchin]

retconned? the classified assignments didnt even matter beyond "these are things the factions did that werent in the main story"

[inner grove]

LMAO I figured it was something like that, it’s been hard trying to catch up on the story of a live service game ajshdhhd

[jagged canyon]

So....aquarium

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah I had fun finding out that the events of that were completely pointless after multiple seasons of story that aren't available any more lol

"Oh that reactor we recovered got stolen like FOUR YEARS AGO?"

[inner grove]

trying to avoid YouTube videos cause I’m a huge fan of hands on stuff for game story :P

[umbral oak]

Yeah, it's fleshing out the broader universe

[zenith urchin]

tonight we feast on the flesh of various aquatic mammals because keeping them alive is unsustainable

[fallen jacinth]

Sucks that it's literally impossible to experience most of the story actually in game

[feral knoll]

Be thankful the missions are still present; in another title entire seasons were removed.

[fallen jacinth]

But at least most of the actual missions are playable, unlike Destiny 2 lol

[umbral oak]

That's just seasonal content in a nutshell, unfortunately not exclusive to Ubisoft

[sage thicket]

And that's why a lot of people have quit said title.

[inner grove]

nah that sushi backpack trophy was worth everything 🔥

[mighty girder]

i think the old manhunts were just "okay do this random sequence of stuff behind a riddle. okay now listen to this comm. now do another set of random sequence of stuff. now kill this specific smaller big bad that is just a generic bounty. repeat until you get to kill the big bad 12 weeks later."

in short, you don't miss a lot im pretty sure. the game also just gives you all the comms that came from the scout for free

[mellow pike]

I need help dolphin error 2 days already T-T

[zenith urchin]

division 2 is actually the least egregious example of a live service game removing old content
because you can still get every comm, echo and security footage that actually tells you the story

[fallen jacinth]

Even the least egregious form of it in Warframe is missing some stuff

[jagged canyon]

Manny's girlfriend was the leader of the civs at the aquarium. She's not the biggest plot point but she is a plot point

[umbral oak]

I miss my hotdog..dog backpack trophy

[fervent cipher]

And you can play all climax missions

[fallen jacinth]

That's also a pretty bad way to tell the major parts of a story

[fervent cipher]

FOR FREE btw no battlepass

[zenith urchin]

look im not making excuses for any live service game but it couldve been like destiny 1

[mighty girder]

division 2 story kinda ass ngl, i like the premise and atmosphere but the story leaves a lot to be desired

[inner grove]

Class, cause ive tried to do the missions at least chronologically and next up on the list were the legacy manhunts and I feel like a one sentence summary doesn’t really cut it 😭

[fallen jacinth]

"Oh you didn't understand this story because you didn't listen to a comm on a random dumpster with Grumbo discussing Curbus assassinating Blorbo? Sucks to be you"

[feral knoll]

I see some of the arguments on here around costs for some of the content and all I can think of is the 'first time?' meme. It could be so, so much worse than it actually is.

[umbral oak]

Yeah true, as someone who plays all 3 games mentioned the story is basically gone. The division is at least somewhat still tangible, and most of Warframe those plots were just side stuff

[jagged canyon]

Nit pick but I miss when you hovered over a mission it had a little dialogue that played

[fallen jacinth]

And the core of the nightwave missions are still playable at least, you just don't get the story as it went - as little as it was. The bigger issue is Operations were a core part of the story so it messes up the early on missions and makes 'em a bit incomprehensible. Looking at you Alad V

[umbral oak]

I liked it until I accidentally hover over the missions

[fallen jacinth]

Nowhere near as bad as TD2 though, I loved getting flashbanged with spoilers the instant I hit level 30 lol

[mighty girder]

no live service game is complete without the cacophony of spoilers once you reach the endgame level

[brazen elm]

having an active retal breaks manhunts and projects apparently

[inner grove]

You go from hearing about a first wave agents response beacon to hearing a jtf soldier get tortured if you leave your cursor in the wrong spot lol

[zenith urchin]

oh you didnt go read the lore entry of scrimblo the scrumblo that explains everything about the activity you just did on an external website which you cant open on a second monitor because this game is only on consoles? cry me a river

[jagged canyon]

Only OG's remember

They also remember pestilence before the rework. It didn't always do tick damage. It used to create a DC-62 gas cloud

[fallen jacinth]

30 isn't even endgame too which is extra silly

[umbral oak]

Can't have spoilers if you remove the story

[feral knoll]

not to go off topic but destiny 2 basically just outright had paid content deleted, never to be seen again, and warframe suffers from new-thing-itis where they have to constantly add new things to stop people leaving, meanwhile all that added content never gets further updates, it's just one-and-done and onto the next thing regardless of state.

Division and Division 2 have their flaws, I'll grant, but in context, imo, fairly mild by comparison.

[mighty girder]

oh yeah im pretty sure the manhunts were free-ish i think maybe

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah Warframe has content islands, they're working on fixing it but it's kind of a core flaw

[inner grove]

division cuts out season content destiny takes out whole campaigns lol

[jagged canyon]

At first you just needed to own wony

[umbral oak]

Yeah that's basically me, or that the brass dropped shd tech nodes in the dark zone

[jagged canyon]

RIP forsaken

[mighty girder]

1 expansion to cover everything, something destiny 2 players could never dream of

[fallen jacinth]

Oh yeah my favourite thing is that for no reason at all TD2 removed the prologue mission where Sanders sends you off to DC, which means the Pentagon mission where you meet her again make no sense at all

[zenith urchin]

and none of it is retconned its all essential knowledge to understand the current state of affairs

[fallen jacinth]

I had to look up the prologue on youtube lol

[feral knoll]

This is why I seem very non-plused about the current bugs and general direction of Div 2, not because I don't care - I do - it's just contextually speaking, Massive have actually kinda got back behind the wheel and that's a much better sign than people give credit.

[jagged canyon]

I stopped playing for that reason

[inner grove]

THIS!!! dude I felt whiplash loading into dc when I started my new character a few weeks ago

[umbral oak]

Probably to streamline the intro I guess, at least I was able to play it

[mighty girder]

oh my god, so that's why i vaguely remembered "wait wasn't there a section before you arrive at DC?" when i started a new character from level 1 after the last time i started a new character was 7 years ago

[lyric egret]

scout manhunt week 2=
Scout 2

Kill 25 Hyenas in Downtown East. Kills are not registering for the 25 tally

Anyone else seeing this?

[feral knoll]

do you have a retal active/ red? if so, cancel it or complete.

[brazen elm]

finish your retal first it's messing with manhunts and projects

[umbral oak]

Watch it be bugged and it's actually downtown west

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah there's no goddamn context to starting the game it just drops you in DC and it immediately felt like something was missing, only to be proven right. It's not even a long prologue why take it out??

[elfin hazel]

change to another character

[inner grove]

rumour mill was saying it was to make the transition to New York smoother if you chose to do that instead of the main story first

[jagged canyon]

I didn't know this. Gonna take a shot and say this happened after the BT attacked the White house

[lyric egret]

ah, ok ill try that ty

[umbral oak]

I can see it

[zenith urchin]

it also foreshadowed the black tusk because a hovercraft approached your tiny coastal settlement as you left for dc iirc

[umbral oak]

It's just a few minutes worth of prologue anyway, not the massive tutorial zone like d1 had

[inner grove]

like how in div 1 when the division transport gets taken down to foreshadow the lmb and the rogues

[elfin hazel]

I miss ISAC telling me rations were nearby :[

[umbral oak]

Was there really foreshadowing to that? We just kinda blow up

[feral knoll]

player with 12366 levels on the watch, I salute your gind, good sir or madam!

[distant zodiac]

cant do manhunt not counting the kills wtf is going on daily is bugged as well any solution?

[fervent cipher]

I remember getting the free trial of div2, and saying

"Wasnt there a coastal sectiom before this???" And well, there was

[lyric egret]

Discord legends, I thank you!

[feral knoll]

clear any active/ red retaliations, this may be blocking progress.

[inner grove]

less about the foreshadowing beforehand and more-so giving the player the question of “who tf just blew up our ride in”

[umbral oak]

You'd think these major bugs would be fixed soon at least

[fallen jacinth]

It's just to make players interact with the new retaliation matchmaking!!!

[umbral oak]

Probably all the people shooting at you beforehand

[mighty girder]

you kinda had to assume that the rikers weren't coordinated enough to commander a SAM launcher i guess

[distant zodiac]

@feral knoll dont have any atm

[umbral oak]

It's sad but I lowkey can see that being the cause

[fallen jacinth]

Also why is matchmaking of host and join parties mashed together, but Countdown has a host/matchmake option lol

There's so many awful UI/UX issues with this game it's insane how many menus there are and how badly designed they are

Go through like four different layers of menu and the buttons for the same thing are different on every screen lmao

[umbral oak]

I tried matchmaking for retaliations but never get anyone I can join

[fallen jacinth]

That's weird I matchmake in under 10 seconds, maybe it's a region/time thing?

[mighty girder]

i like when i mm for retal and i end up having to manually start retal

[fallen jacinth]

Or a network issue?

[umbral oak]

Probably, only ever found two other people matchmaking retaliations and they both left before we started

[inner grove]

#true but then again maybe enough cocaine in someone’s system could make them capable of operating anti air

[fallen jacinth]

Yeah that's infuriating, or I want to run my own retaliation, matchmake and it just gives me groups to join. Like come on just separate the menu. Or let me just pick my retaliation and matchmake as it loads

[feral knoll]

manny is desperate about my foggy bottom again.

[fallen jacinth]

Or someone joins your group for retal, but they don't want to do your specific faction so they leave lol

[umbral oak]

Press enough buttons something will happen

[umbral oak]

I had the displeasure of finding the summit audio loop bug on my own

Kelso had to go all over again

[inner grove]

Manny’s a little cutie shoutouts to our favourite guy on the radio

[umbral oak]

Never cook again

[azure galleon]

Even LFG here is hit or miss.
Had groups wipe completely because people bring their SHD 42 friends to Heroic and they go down all the time, also had groups that clear with 15 minutes left, however.

[umbral oak]

That's lfg in general

[fallen jacinth]

I still don't get how kill squads spawn, is it time based? Number of dudes you kill?

[umbral oak]

I always thought it was maneuver based

[azure galleon]

Nah, in-game is just miss in general. The only people that join me, didn't even last long enough to reach the first CP lol

Random

[mighty girder]

they usually appear after you clear a control point but i've had them spawn as soon as i start retal

[jagged canyon]

It's just random

Most I've ever gotten was four squads in one retaliation, one being a team 9

[fickle wraith]

Is cross play in the game now?

[umbral oak]

No

[fallen jacinth]

Had one show up during a control point defence, which was rough

There's tons of misinformation on them and people LOVE to spread more.

Afaik the only thing we have confirmed is that they can spawn at any time (even before the first CP, or multiple between 2 CP's) and that there's a limit (which might be based on the amount of CP's).

Isn’t it just cross progression atm

[fickle wraith]

No

[umbral oak]

Boy I wish it was cross progression

[elfin hazel]

cross progression isn't coming and no cross play isn't in the game yet

or something about a one time transfer
