[hoary glade]

Lore wise what are their motives

[smoky orchid]

I can actually get some sleep before the grind

[balmy narwhal]

Unknown, other than wipe us out

[hoary glade]

Lucky, the server comes back when im already sleeping

[smoky orchid]

lmao

where are you from? US?

[polar thorn]

damn, it starts right after my shift ends.

Curse ya, Bugsoft 😭

[hoary glade]

PH

[smoky orchid]

oooooo

[native bobcat]

Does anyone have the quickstep bounty by chance that I could group with to gte it please?

[hoary glade]

#lfg-pc

[native bobcat]

Thank you.

[hoary glade]

Heard quickstep is gonna drop in the new event

[sour void]

It is. Ronin better watch his back

[hoary glade]

Alongside Lexington and other limited named weapons

[sour void]

because Tone, Monarch and Scorch is coming

[hoary glade]

Praying for turmoil

[sour void]

I'm gunning for the exotic caches. Exo components dipped below 30 and I'm working on prototype Striker.

Speaking of, 1.5 Skill Tier on a PT item is nice, especially now that they're guaranteed on items that have them (as I understand it)

But not having that guarantee on a Red or Blue core kills it for me.

[hoary glade]

How much exo comp do you need to expertise 30 a gear

[sour void]

45

[hoary glade]

Jesus

[opaque lion]

finally in touching distance if floor 100 of Summit again, might lfg with people who wants to roll for the exos

[sour void]

Multiply that by 7 for a typical build and welcomd to hell

[hoary glade]

Can i join, i need to kill 2 hunters

I'll cc

[sour void]

damn, speaking of, I need to get on that too.

[opaque lion]

yeah later, just eating lunch

[sour void]

Summit my old friend.

[polar thorn]

I do wanna join but my SHD says no

[opaque lion]

last time i killed those hunters i just cheesed it

[hoary glade]

Im.only 580 lmao so I'll just play crowd control

[opaque lion]

Zealot was too broken

[polar thorn]

350 here

[sour void]

3200+, and still longing for mats

[polar thorn]

I can go full dps or OD

[pliant sentinel]

God if you are real please hit this God-Forsaken Discord Server with the

"The maintenance has been extended by approximately 12 hours."

Amen.

[hoary glade]

That's how you keep interest in the game

[polar thorn]

May god strike you down.

[opaque lion]

i don't think we ever got a 12 hr maintenance outside of delays

[hoary glade]

I keep convincing myself with in game goals to keep myself in the game

[sour void]

Pretty subjective parameter if you ask me

[pliant sentinel]

he has tried and i kept reviving

[hoary glade]

Yes its a miserable way to play 100%

[obsidian atlas]

can't we just preload the dagnabbit darning update already or is it included in the last update?

[sour void]

massive be like wtf is a pre load

[hoary glade]

Wonder if its gonna be another 20 gb update

[pliant sentinel]

one time i drink the forbidden cocktail my friend made and they found me on the sand at the beach looking like dead peter griffin

[sour void]

Probably is, and 75% is for the cosmetics XD

[fresh scaffold]

Whos farming hallow man mask DZ?

[hoary glade]

Over time, i realized how much rare crap ive been deconstructing before i got a bit of knowledge to the game

[opaque lion]

just go for named caches or when DZ areas has masks as targetted loot

[obsidian atlas]

a quick search in the wikis never hurts anyone

except if it's fandom, fandom can perish

[hoary glade]

Deconstructing 3 quicksteps thinking that its just a pistol, not knowing the thing i joined there for is that

[obsidian atlas]

OMFL

collapse sfx

[hoary glade]

Causally deconstructing exotics not knowing that they are hard to get

I didnt know that reconfigure was a part of the game that time

[sick acorn]

So hey, I’ve completed the base missions and such. Was just wondering what would be a good place for a solo player to start gearing up and leveling up my watch?

[hoary glade]

Someone told me st elmo without dooc is crap so i deconstructed my st elmo and grinded for a new one

[obsidian atlas]

nowhere, keep doing what you're doing

[hoary glade]

Look for a build that suits you and grind the pieces in either countdown or summit

[opaque lion]

i assume you're still pre 1000shd, try figuring out what difficulty you can handle rn

[inner elbow]

@pliant sentinel underrated pfp

[obsidian atlas]

loot has a specific rotating by area gear and weapons distribution

[hoary glade]

After that turn on full directives and do control points and free roam activities

[static ruin]

hey, just wondering if the cherry blossom event has started for everyone yet

[hoary glade]

Hostage and speaker gives fast and massive exp

[opaque lion]

after maintenance

[inner elbow]

Nope

[static ruin]

oh okay thanks broskis

[sick acorn]

I’m 16 SHD 🤦‍♂️

[hoary glade]

We all been there, i was 16 shd 15 days ago

[vital cave]

Young agent you still in the prologue of endgame

[opaque lion]

now that they're shipping a Japanese themed update i hope they finally put THAT outfit with the oni mask again

[hoary glade]

Took me like a month to get adjusted and a ton of asking in this group to function by myself

[sick acorn]

Exactly, so I’m just trying to catch my bearings and organize, instead of just running around with no real direction

[wicked grotto]

Do we know what bonuses we're getting for the season event

[opaque lion]

you can see it in the events timeline

[polar thorn]

I'm not hyped about Lexington

[hoary glade]

Personally I'd suggest using the airaldi overdogs sniper build

For solo leveling in heroic free roam

[wicked grotto]

You can't, that's why I'm asking if we already know since the theme is already announced as well

[vital cave]

First let’s get you a nice setup for sometime

[sick acorn]

Oh lord, I can change the level of the free roam?

[opaque lion]

i wonder if Big Al is finally available in the general exotic pool

[hoary glade]

Heroic gives the most EXP

[opaque lion]

that thing is braindead easy to use and mows down ANYTHING

[polar thorn]

I have 4 extra if u want

[hoary glade]

What, is big al not available to all?

[vital cave]

Pretty sure you can craft it thru retaliation

[sick acorn]

I will definitely change that, thank you

[hoary glade]

Significantly harder too

[opaque lion]

well it was an event exotic, sometimes it takes a while to be added

[vital cave]

Not just yet don’t jump into heroic world without a proper build my friend

[hoary glade]

If you dont have decent gear, you should ask in #td2-build-advice for a heroic build

[polar thorn]

if u like LMG, Tipping Scale is ur bf

[hoary glade]

If you like sniper, hotshot with airaldi vigilance and overdogs is your friend

[opaque lion]

probably the easiest build to use that can be Heroic viable is AR Strikers build

[wicked grotto]

You can but friendly reminder that your build might not be the most optimized right off the bat for heroic. Maybe go through next difficulties while you grind your next builds

[sick acorn]

Idk how to even change the difficulty in the world

[hoary glade]

Map then Z

[kind veldt]

open the map

should be world option somewhere in teh bottom

[sick acorn]

I’m on ps5

[opaque lion]

insert in both UA named items and have Lexington/St Elmos

[sick acorn]

But I get th gist, thank you

[fair citrus]

strega and caretaker is hella nice too

UA helps with the small mag of strega

[hoary glade]

Still sucks that sacrem imperium is an Azz exotic

[sick acorn]

It doesn’t give an XP boost by turning on harder difficulty?

[vital cave]

When you open map hold left d-pad i think it was like that on ps

[hoary glade]

Normal to heroic will give 2x exp bonus iirc

Basically whatever exp you're getting in normal is twice in heroic

[fair citrus]

alot of cool exotic are azz

[sick acorn]

Thanks for the help guys

[hoary glade]

If you turn on all directives you'll get 125% more

[vital cave]

I’m thinking of getting div2 on pc since it’s on sale again

[hoary glade]

Clearing 1 control points and free roam activities will level you up each task

[hoary glade]

Cool designs azz talent fr

[vital cave]

Also sometimes we get xp events like 3x and 5x

[fair citrus]

yeah thats what i mean, there are some exos that looks cool af, and useless lol

[vital cave]

But shd ain’t that difficult it just takes some time

[hoary glade]

Is doctor home a good healing exotic or nah

[sick acorn]

Thanks!

[hoary glade]

How do you proc the talent for doctor home even

[opaque lion]

im finished with lunch, #lfg-pc

[sick acorn]

I’m gonna turn on some After the Burial and start grinding. Thank you guys

[fair citrus]

you just kill i think

[hoary glade]

Nvm i dont think I'll make it good luck tho

[polar thorn]

I wonder if I can reach SHD 450 today

[fair citrus]

all depends on how much free time you have lmao

[polar thorn]

50 SHD in 2 hours isn't very impressive

[hoary glade]

Dawg

I literally can only manage 10 shd per hour

Im praying for the 5x exp rvent

[fair citrus]

every 5x event i do an endless descent run xd

[hoary glade]

How much exp uou get

[fair citrus]

around loop 25-30 i get like 80 mil

[smoky orchid]

descent is also very zzz

[fair citrus]

its nice once in a month

[hoary glade]

How long does that take

[fair citrus]

idk, 4 hours maybe xd

i didn't say its the most efficient way

just a refreshing way

[sick acorn]

Oh wow… this changes a lot of things lol

[hoary glade]

What's your build rn if you dont mind me asking

[sick acorn]

Negotiator dilemma and overdogs gloves

[sharp ginkgo]

Guys, am I missing actual content if I don’t get the season pass

Got gold edition on pc because it’s been awhile, just wanna make sure I don’t have to get much else atm

[timid summit]

I just noticed, why we got Aaron in bob ? Didnt we kill him ?

[sterile copper]

not really, all playable content doesnt require the season pass. A couple fashion items, some in game resources (which is entirely unneeded)

[drowsy pewter]

bro missed everything

same goes with theo but he's currently in brooklyn (as a friendly)

[sharp ginkgo]

Yeah nothing like destiny where there’s a gun locked to it or dungeon key?

[timid summit]

Yeah lol I came back like 2-3 months ago. The last time I played even before WONY was released

[hidden quail]

When's the 1.1 patch

[fair citrus]

season pass is 99% cosmetics only, everything else is obtainable anyway

[sick acorn]

What armor build do you guys suggest?

I also liked core strength

[opaque lion]

armor builds are kinda tricky, Core Strength builds usually fall into Hybrid builds

[sour void]

Armor? You sure?
Well, you can't go wrong with Foundry Bulwark. Heartbreaker is good too.

[sick acorn]

No I’m not lol. I’m using negotiators dilemma right now

[sour void]

(Unfortunately red core builds overshadow everything else)

[opaque lion]

Heartbreaker is just a fancier version of Strikers but more defensive

[pliant sentinel]

you too

[sour void]

I mean, if you really wanna screw around, True Patriot and Liquid Engineer so you can have as much armor as an Escalation enemy

[opaque lion]

Kingbreaker + Perfect Spotter chest piece was my Heartbreaker build

[sick acorn]

I haven’t seen any armor pieces with those names

[sour void]

Countdown Targeted Loot on Challenging.

[opaque lion]

Memento Backpack too, you know what maybe i'll check out how well it works with Harriers

[sick acorn]

I’m on hard now just trying to get used to these changes

Like low ammo reserves

[sour void]

Did you come from Div 1 as a Lone Star main?

[polar thorn]

spend 200c and join me 1m exp per 3 mins

[sick acorn]

I couldn’t tell ya. It’s been so long since I’ve played division 1. I took a very long break on division 2 until recently. I saw all the updates and it was on sale on PS5, so thought I’d give it a go again

[clever lark]

Just saw the steam sale for The Division 2 and Gold edition is 70% off.

I already have the base game, but is it worth it to buy the gold edition for both DLCs and the Year 1 pass as someone who just got to level 40 recently?

[mighty bolt]

Did the servers go out for yall a bit?

[sour void]

Huh. Well, enemies tend to drop more ammo when you're running low, so you just need to be a little more meticulous after you ventilated an area.

Challenging isn't all that bad, but Heroic is where things get real.

[polar thorn]

or just go OD bluescreen for that infinite ammo

[flat forge]

its pretty dang hard to run out of ammo outside of escalation and using directives

[sour void]

Ehh, kinda. WONY is pretty good with its content, but BFB is rather meh. Y1 pass is only good for a couple classified missions for EXP grinding.

[sick acorn]

Than you for the advice

[sour void]

No problem. You should be fine in CD so as long as you shoot first and ask questions never.

[sick acorn]

CD?

[sour void]

Countdown. The game mode.

[sick acorn]

Power plant?

[clever lark]

Gotcha, thx! Might end up getting it actually as someone who kinda enjoys The Division lore actually

[sour void]

Yep. That one.

[sour void]

You won't be disappointed there. I suggest you try out the earlier manhunts after you complete the campaigns.

[candid frigate]

So I have a quick question, maybe someone has seen this. I have 3 cleaners retaliations but I can't start them or abandon them and there's no timer on it. Any thoughts?

[lunar knot]

any idea if Turmoil will drop during the event starting tomorrow?

[mighty creek]

Yes

Lexington, Turmoil, Shield Splinterer, etc...

[lunar knot]

awesome, ty

[polar thorn]

why people wants turmoil that bad?

[hybrid ore]

Time-limited item, combo'd with the fact that it got clickbaited youtubed.

[mighty creek]

Classic

Negotiator's Dillema: Look what they need just to mimic a fraction of my power.

[lunar knot]

personally, i was away from the game when they were available, and i'd love to have a copy just in case type of situation.

[stuck basalt]

will there be downtime for the event at 4 am? EST??

[agile gyro]

Should be from what I've heard

[polar thorn]

turmoil has similar talents with NG?

[stuck basalt]

okay cs i watched the stream this morning i didnt see and i went to the blog didnt see downtime js here to confirm

[polar thorn]

could use that 5 hours to grind levels

[clever lark]

Sorry just wanted to check, does the Gold edition include the Year 1 pass? Was looking thru the steam page and it said it didnt but it may have been using the old infographics

[wet bobcat]

Will the regulus be in the event cache

[humble epoch]

Serve is in maintance now?

[wild schooner]

it doesnt. i brought the gold edtion when it was on sale a month ago

[agile gyro]

Has anyone ever heard of the isaac bot?

[agile gyro]

No, like 4 more hours

[clever lark]

Ok thx for the info! Was about to buy the Gold edition but found it was cheaper to just buy the WONY and Brooklyn DLCs separately

[humble epoch]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[agile gyro]

I'm looking at this mans headshots for his overall profile

1,388,498 headshots in 1k hours isnt weird or anything 💀

[mighty creek]

Yeh but better.

[flat forge]

idk bout better

[sharp ginkgo]

The game is 8yrs old 1k hours isnt much

[agile gyro]

precisely my point lol

[hybrid ore]

@agile gyro No one here needs to know how many headshots someone has according to a bot.
We don't allow it on this server for a very good reason.

[agile gyro]

oh no I was just curious because someone was mentioning it in my group prior and I've never heard of it (The bot). The headshot thing was from the tracker which ofc could always be wrong, idk how they handle their stuff over there.

[hybrid ore]

3 hours until maintenance downtime, Agents. Finish your Weeklies ASAP

#server-status message

[feral knoll]

Or Carnage. It's got 35% damage to bleeding enemies, so you know it's good.

But Bluescreen works really well and it's additional talents come in handy. And it's a bit of a laser.

(I run both, because Bluescreen is insanely useful for knocking black tusk around and out of cover).

[inner elbow]

Usually another stat you'd pick out is the bodyshot to headshot ratio. The average player's headshot percentage is around 5-10%, above that should raise some questions.

[flat forge]

where do you see this stat

[inner elbow]

Some stat tracking bot

[sharp ginkgo]

How long does it tend to be

[feral knoll]

Estimate is ~5 hours.

[sharp ginkgo]

I just started again after a solid 5 years, was gonna binge tonight now tjat ive set it up

Bro 💔

[feral knoll]

Lots of goodies and fixed coming, it's worth it.

[sharp ginkgo]

Worth it? Probably. But damn 5 hours

[woeful solstice]

when update will drop ?

[sturdy hazel]

maintenance starts in 2 and a half hours, will last for 5 hours if no delays happen

[wise dawn]

is it true that the proto cores will reset?

[hybrid ore]

NO.

[edgy fable]

Tokens reset every season apparently

[hybrid ore]

Yeah, but not Proto Cores.

[gray flame]

Launch time for new event?

[woeful solstice]

Riven is proto drop rate ill be higher! so is it possible that we can get 1 prototype every 2 runs

[feral knoll]

Where'd that come from?

[flat forge]

you pretty much already get at least 1 core per run of t10

[woeful solstice]

never did t10 man bro 🙂

@flat forge brother help me on this i am looking for that powerfull revolver gun (looks like destiny weapon)

is it free and how can i get it

[flat forge]

are you talking bout regulus

that's only from iron horse raid man

[drowsy pewter]

or strech goals

[feral knoll]

Looking forward to the update, good to see the first lot of fixes too.

[agile kettle]

I’ll take a photo of sakura to make it wallpaper next update, so nice more than expected

[hybrid ore]

At least 1 youtuber is trying to push out it as misinformation, for some reason.
Proto Cores will not be reset.

[gray flame]

when does the event go live

[hybrid ore]

When downtime is over, #server-status will let you know.

[gray flame]

Will all the event cosmetics be possible to earn for free

[torpid plume]

No this is an Ubisoft game

[lunar hare]

yeah, it says that you can buy keys if you want to speed the collection

[feral knoll]

yes.

[woeful solstice]

which one is faster and easy

[lunar hare]

with 4 characters, the raid

[drowsy pewter]

better off with stretch goals but that's till end of season
so get some people for the raid lol
That's how i got mine, and i still have the project to craft it

[idle ice]

Nope, Incursion. Half the players required.

[feral knoll]

I would recommend people read the release notes as it covers pretty much the entirety of the update, fixes, the event, gear, cosmetics, all of it: #patch-notes message

[lunar hare]

sir, Regular is from conflict 😆 /j

[polar thorn]

GULAG

[hybrid ore]

Tone down the lies in the future.

All 30 items from the Apparel Cache are free to earn via Keys.

[half blade]

Do You still its possible to get all 30 in a week

[polar thorn]

I mean..

[ocean ibex]

the event is here ?

[hybrid ore]

Am I still possible?

I mean, I think so?

[polar thorn]

Some of us already hit tier 100 for battlepass

[hybrid ore]

Ooh, yeah the Event is active for 3 Weeks.

[winged flume]

In 4hrs 23m ya

[polar thorn]

So 30 keys should be easy

[half blade]

I know what I mean is do you think its possible to do it all in the last week

[polar thorn]

As long there's not a single downtime nor maintenance

[hybrid ore]

Oh easy if you no-life it.

there's 3 caches in total, each requires keys. You won't need 3 weeks to get 30 keys.

[polar thorn]

😭 I cheese'd my remaining 2 hours before I went to sleep.

[ocean ibex]

ouuuh im early lets go

[half blade]

I just know im out for 2 weeks (miss the entire optimisation weeks) ill be back on the 5th

[hybrid ore]

The Event is going from April 21st, to May 12th, for the record.

[half blade]

I know

[hybrid ore]

I'm speaking in general, it's not a DM.

[ocean ibex]

im bout to grind the F out of it

[half blade]

Opti event is 21st to 5th

Which screws me☹️

[flat forge]

aweosme that opti event is so soon

[hybrid ore]

btw heads up all: the Gear Cache for this Event will have Prototype Gear in it.

[celest sluice]

yay more mats

[hybrid ore]

(and exotics/event nameds, etc)

[flat forge]

are teh gear caches bought with keys

[celest sluice]

No

[hybrid ore]

All 3 Caches are bought with keys, yes.

[celest sluice]

Nvm im stupid

[winged flume]

If it's like old events you can farm it in 2 days.

[flat forge]

was it like this for previous events? its my first seasonal event so not sure how the ones before worked

[hybrid ore]

They adressed the event being too quick, so the community cache is going to be global across all platforms this time.
for those who don't know: the community cache is where everyone "donates keys", and we collectively unlock rewards for everyone.

[half blade]

Ive only been playing since around the end of the anni event

[drowsy pewter]

Tomorrow drop chances for prototypes are increasing, yes?

[flat forge]

yes, but by how much we dont know

[winged flume]

Yes

[drowsy pewter]

putting to a test how many drops can i get per run on average..till tomorrow

[polar thorn]

"Together we shall conquer" ah

[hybrid ore]

Tier 2-10 are getting increased Prototype Gear drop chances, and daily targeted loot rotations for Escalation.

[polar thorn]

But that's a very good way to rewarding everyone.

[winged flume]

Probably 0.1% lmao. I know the main dev said he was going to double t10 but never word on the others.

[flat forge]

lol double t10 would be nice

[winged flume]

That's what he said

[flat forge]

thats the main one i care about anyway

[winged flume]

Also get a free compensation case with 2 cores.

[flat forge]

sweet, and raids reset too

[woven crane]

event up?

[half blade]

No

[flat forge]

getting echo on all pieces has been a huge pain

[half blade]

Getting pieces is a pain wanted to make use of an optimisation event but go figure, it of course happens on the 2 weeks in particular im gone.

[feral knoll]

developer definately waited until you were going to be away to bring out the next scheduled update. 🙂

[half blade]

Ong I swear

[drowsy pewter]

I've got 3 paradox pieces
making my stack broker ACTUALLY get to 200 stacks before having to reload (or not switch at all)

i've got 4 quantum...which as good as it was by saving my life countless times: i would prefer echo
i got echo in one and that is my primary weapon, my MK46 ❤️

i did a build for myself in the test server with 4 paradox's and 4 echo's

ceska and fox's and 4 striker
can't wait till they actually let us optimize it
best guess is that it's gonna cost proto cores (maybe something else apart of it..exotic mats?)

[flat forge]

i got 4 echo outta 7 rn including weapon

keeping amalgam on chest so i only got prardox ceska holster and paradox knees left

either amalgam or echo ill be happy with tbh

idek if optimization is even on the table

they mentioned recal but never optimization

[drowsy pewter]

Amalgam..with enough and leveled up it's basically a scorpio on it's own..
hell with an ACS 12 it'd be fun

[drowsy pewter]

I guess i read wrong..but recalibration could be maxed out no? otherwise what's the point lol

[flat forge]

true but its also only one stat. my guess for the point of recal is so that you can actually use some of the drops that you get

[gloomy summit]

Anyone know what time the update launches?

[flat forge]

around 6.5 hrs from now or so

[flat forge]

its a really nice stun against enemies who might be targeting you, 100%

[drowsy pewter]

IF, you get the proper status effect..
about to die > enemy peeks around corner > status chance applies > it's EMP > die

[flat forge]

doesnt emp still stun

[drowsy pewter]

well with the EMP grenade it doesn't..

[flat forge]

obviously not like confuse or fire but it stops them from shooting for a bit

[drowsy pewter]

but any other thing that produces EMP does..i think

and yeah it does stops em for a sec

[flat forge]

yea thats what i remember

[mighty tulip]

you guys have a site that shows where its on sale at or somethin

[drowsy pewter]

steam charts

[undone nebula]

Is critical hit chance/damage is strong than weapon damage?

[drowsy pewter]

atleast every once or twice a month iit does

[mighty tulip]

oh its on sale rn lmao thanks

[clever lark]

Just got the 2 DLCs, which campaign should I play first (I wanna save the better one for last)?

[drowsy pewter]

for the last, otherwise no achievements because it's a boosted character
and you can actually miss on some secret missions

like the one where you get some sort of army outfit

[split cedar]

5 hours of downtime for a patch like this? 💀

[clever lark]

Wait its down? 😭🙏

[hybrid ore]

Game is going down in about 90 minutes, for this patch: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-au/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/1JnECSMl8m8x0sS2gKhTRj

[drowsy pewter]

Preparations.

[split cedar]

understandable.

lazy ass isac

[clever lark]

Sorry I didnt understand what u mean here, so should I brooklyn first or WONY first?

[hybrid ore]

This is standard downtime for div2.
sometimes it takes longer, sometimes its shorter.
You're going to have to get used to it.

[drowsy pewter]

I wouldnt want my birthday to be "surprise! we got no cake yet we're gonna go get it now and go for the confetti n stuff"

[drowsy pewter]

Oh you already finished the main campaign? WONY then

[split cedar]

i guess im just not used to a game dev not dropping mostly tested stuff onto live instantly server like a special snail usually does

[hybrid ore]

What an odd sentence.

[wind spade]

any gamers have the cat backpack here? or at least know if you can change the color on it without buying the bundle?

[drowsy pewter]

yes, you can change the backpack color, the cat color also changes

black > white > orange cat

[split cedar]

brain fart, fixed

[toxic musk]

Have I shown up to Kitty Fluffy Kiss Kiss tier list?

[wind spade]

cool! i didnt want to spend the ten bucks for it but 5 dollars is a whole other conversation 😈😈

[drowsy pewter]

⭐ expendable income ⭐

[toxic musk]

Mmmmm.

[drowsy pewter]

My favorite cat color is white, mainly because
i have a white cat
currently sleeping on my bed
warmiing it up for tonight (it's cold asf)

[toxic musk]

I personally don't take Kitty Fluffy Kiss Kiss into an active combat area because I'm not a twisted freaking cycle path, that being said. Black >>>

[clever lark]

Gotcha thx!

[drowsy pewter]

It meows
sometimes
and when you get shot
I still like bringing it around
unless i feel like running the gilded backpack

[frigid merlin]

This is racism

[toxic musk]

I'll VERY occasionally wear it, if someone else is wearing it, so the Kitty Fluffy Kiss Kiss has a friend

[drowsy pewter]

4 group with cat backpacks ❤️

[toxic musk]

8 catpacks in Countdown

[drowsy pewter]

I like black cats but white cats are cute too
i like it when they got 2 different colored eyes

[drowsy pewter]

Imagine if they let it have that "uni" or "tuxedo" design..
yk, the black color with the bottom area of their bodies white..

[toxic musk]

"Y'see, Hunter. You may have killed the Agents, but now you gotta get 8 cats worth of cat food, so who really won here?" - our Agent from behind the grave

.....I should try and make my Agent look like the Warden Elite from R6

[hybrid ore]

See, not even dead. They're just hiding behind the headstone.

🫣

[polar thorn]

"Hostile Hive Detected".

[toxic musk]

"6 thousand cats. Eat that Hunter"

[hybrid ore]

If you think you can control a herd of 6000 cats, I think the Hyenas need a new battleplan.

[zenith urchin]

she hungers for blood, and i must feed her

[toxic musk]

Now, if only Massive would add a Maxwell Decoy skin

[toxic musk]

Big cats or domestic?

[polar thorn]

Bold of you, I have cat backpack as my companion.

[drowsy pewter]

MAXWELL "design" cat backpack,

[toxic musk]

Throwing fish tacos at enemies as a targeting beacon for 6000 ocelots

Unconventional pawfare, if you will

[hybrid ore]

Okay I'm not even mad, that one was pawsitively solid.

[toxic musk]

LET'S GO

[zenith urchin]

ocelots are proud creatures

[obsidian atlas]

how about tigers? or lions?

[hybrid ore]

Cowards, to the last.
🐅

[obsidian atlas]

......sabertooths? no that's just stone age extinct

[brazen elm]

mrow 🔫 🔃

[devout river]

servers closing for maintenance 💀

[obsidian atlas]

looks at beforehand installed works of literature

well get me up when we can install the update

[devout river]

downtime is 5 hours. bruh i dont even sleep that long

[obsidian atlas]

server downtime isn't what im worried about, it's the update we're installing afterwards yet isn't at the same time, or anywhere before the update releases

[split cedar]

time to catch up on it then

[obsidian atlas]

even blizzard did this better, almost a decade ago, with it's battle.net

of which, oh would you look at that, 2 years before division 2 releases

[toxic musk]

spins gun(s)

Meows

[obsidian atlas]

on top of occasionally often disconnection and latency issues

[graceful dove]

are they occasional or often?

[obsidian atlas]

not frequent enough, and not rare enough in between

[hybrid ore]

You've got less than an hour left until Maintenance Agents, finish your weeklies ASAP.

[obsidian atlas]

occasionally often

[hybrid ore]

Damn it Babou!

[obsidian atlas]

tranq dart

[hybrid ore]

(I swear I won't post that one gif)

[toxic musk]

Mawp, mawp

Sorry, I got tinnitus

[graceful dove]

Bloody Mary, Full of Vodka...

[toxic musk]

I should watch Archer again, man

[obsidian atlas]

then won't it be just vodka?

[hybrid ore]

Is this how cup misses references? because this is how you miss references.

[obsidian atlas]

oh im sorry, i was under the impression you would reply with la li lou le lo, why? no reasons

[obsidian atlas]

yes this is how i miss references, im not that culturally fluent

[hybrid ore]

We're riffing on the show Archer, it's (was?) a good watch, and there's some paralells you can make for how BT handle things in div2.

but yeah offtopic so I'll end my fun part here.

[graceful dove]

For I am a sinner in the hands of an angry god. bloody mary, full of vodka, blessed are you among cocktails. pray for me now, and in my hour of death, which I hope is soon. Amen.

||I'm also done I just wanted to put that there||

[obsidian atlas]

not that there's anything else to do here but answering the occasional newly appointed shd agent questions and.........critically criticising how the devs are doing.

one request, stay away from my core strength, my baby is underpowered, worthless and unworthy of any attention whatsoever

[graceful dove]

except in pvp where it dogwalks like everything

[obsidian atlas]

honestly i never tried it in pvp but armor built and skill tier 6 alone usually should be enough, yeah

[split cedar]

oh we getting the manhunts next stage dont we

[obsidian atlas]

unless of course someone says pulse

[obtuse hornet]

We getting 5 hours of downtime rip

So happy chill out mask can drop from this new event

[split cedar]

i guess the 5 hour downtime is a good reason to go out and start fixing my car

[obtuse hornet]

Yes indeed lol

[obsidian atlas]

PLEASE for the love of F, GIMME MY Ivory Key

[ocean ibex]

anyone has a good pvp build ? I wanna 1v1 in dz to try

[hidden quail]

Damn 5 hours maint

Worth it tho, proto chance buff, and cool new apparels

[obtuse hornet]

I hope there is a fix for the bittersweet sound bug wit this update

The silencer works so good u lose all sound for the weapon lol

[hidden quail]

I want a toaster graphics options if they can make one, just make every thing looks bad lol

[hybrid ore]

#td2-pvp-discussions would be your best bet to find someone that knows what they're doing

[hidden quail]

I cant take it whenever im tryna go somewhere with quickstep it stops me from going forward to render stuff, my ps4 couldnt habdle it

[split cedar]

i mean thats a regular occurence for me, idk if the games sound engine is shitting itself or AMD doing AMD things

[obsidian atlas]

sometimes i have a feeling that all their plans atm are just drain this game dry of it's player base for funding of div3

[obtuse hornet]

Its frustrating games like this i need my sound ques lol

[obsidian atlas]

but then again, i'm positive they can't just do that if the fans loved them for this long

[split cedar]

greed knows no limits buddy

[obsidian atlas]

for now

[obtuse hornet]

I will take it i mean content was supposed to stop wat year 3 here we are year 8 getting crossplay a new expansion/dlc new game modes new gear types

[hybrid ore]

Cup, if you're going to be this randomly negative throughout all of maintenance, could you maybe take a break for tonight? I've got a headache and could use one less issue.

That goes for the rest of you too. Try something new tonight. Be positive.

[obsidian atlas]

fair enough, sorry to be like so

[undone timber]

Games in the best direction it's been for a very long time

[obtuse hornet]

I bought the teddy bear bag and the new cat one im all for spending money especially if ur massive entertainment love those ppl my favorite studio

[undone timber]

Plenty of new content on the horizon and now we've got the prototype gear toy box

[obsidian atlas]

the one of which received favorable receptions of? yes

[mighty creek]

Go watch anime or something.

[toxic kayak]

People having withdrawal during downtime or maintenance of games they play. All we can think of is logging in and playing the game when it's on maintenance. Hahaha.

[mighty creek]

Or maybe, goon.

[obsidian atlas]

i can't do that, i don't have a lead pipe or mean looking face, plus no mob boss in my vicinity

[toxic kayak]

Ah yes, the proper meaning of goon. When people are still gentleman and ambush the other gang down the alley.

[mighty tulip]

i jus bought it and theres maintenance

[obtuse hornet]

Rip lol

[edgy fable]

lmao

[obtuse hornet]

Guys maybe im missing something but why cant I raise my stats on some gear but on others I can

[toxic kayak]

Don't worry, the new event is good and tons of free cosmetic.

[toxic musk]

That's it

[hybrid ore]

https://thedivision2.com/tu-y8s1-1-update-notes give it a read during the downtime. There's a lot of cool stuff coming.

[toxic musk]

OH MY GOD WHY CAN'T I SPELL MAINTENANCE

There we go. Jesus

Time to read the dictionary while maintenance goes on

[brazen elm]

5 escalation tokens says extended maintenance

[obtuse hornet]

So to optimize a stat I need to recalibrate my attribute wit one I dont want?

[toxic musk]

I raise you. Prototype gear

[obsidian atlas]

do pay attention to what you need to do IN ORDER to receive the free cosmetics, i do also suggest that you skip to level 40 and get to work on the event immediately, you have 3 weeks

[brazen elm]

You can optimize them all, you can't optimize a recalibrated stat iirc
You probably need to fill out your library with maxed stats

[toxic musk]

I could really go for some peach in syrup

[split cedar]

probably the best thing i did was not skipping first 40 levels ngl when i started playing

[toxic musk]

That or wiping the Outcasts off the map, either/or

[obtuse hornet]

So I have 15.5 % repair skill i want to max it to 20% but it says slot attribute needs to be extracted?

[brazen elm]

you need to find a piece with 20% skill repair

[obsidian atlas]

same thing here, problem: limited time event

[toxic musk]

You gotta find a gear piece with 20% and add that to your library

[obtuse hornet]

Wait wat

Is this new?

[toxic musk]

Not that I'm aware of, no

[split cedar]

:/

[brazen elm]

it's been around for a while

[obtuse hornet]

At that point optimization is useless wouldnt it be cheaper to extract a max and put it on then spend all the rss to optimize?

[brazen elm]

You can only do it on one slot

[obsidian atlas]

i was pretty sure devs noted that the event's active for level 40s

[obtuse hornet]

Thats fine why would I need more then 1 healer build lol

[mighty creek]

The page literally says 11 minutes read.

[split cedar]

they did, once you hit level 40, you automatically enter the event

[shy warren]

I will miss this event so much. So many buffs it had. Builds will feel worse now.

[brazen elm]

That's why you don't rely on it too much

Also why you don't trust build videos on youtube

[split cedar]

it was nice to do legendary missions so easily with striker, going back to hearthbreaker again

[mighty creek]

How many "God Mode Solo Tank Build" videos that has been uploaded to YouTube but didnt mention the overdrive event.

[brazen elm]

How many breads have you eaten in your life

[mighty creek]

Too many.

[hoary glade]

Does repair skill affect the trophy memento drops?

[brazen elm]

i dont think memento trophies are repairs, they're bonus armor

[edgy fable]

What

[hoary glade]

Ah

[edgy fable]

Incoming Repairs perhaps but not sure

[obtuse hornet]

The bittersweet is so good for healer builds

If u can land ur headshots

[undone timber]

Eh it's alright

[obtuse hornet]

I just need chill out mask to finish my build

[hoary glade]

Man backfire so good but the bleed flinch is annoying

[errant ember]

reload 3 times and its gonna be gone til you ran out of stacks

[devout river]

you need to salvage the attribute and it only optimizes to the level you salvaged at

[errant ember]

those 3 times u gotta hit an enemy btw

[obtuse hornet]

I was playing wit randos and the one dude everytime he shot sounded like shot machines and he was doing insane damage no idea wat he was running but gawd damn

[hoary glade]

What

[obsidian atlas]

big alejandro?

[obtuse hornet]

Oh I need to salvage max roll?

[hybrid ore]

Guess you'll be able to finish it at least twice.
I'm good at maths.

[obtuse hornet]

No idea

[obsidian atlas]

the most minigun sounding gun, aside from the minigun, pretty positive

[errant ember]

Shoot at enemies, reload, shoot at them again then reload. After the 3rd reload the bleeding affects would stop applying to you until you lost your backfire stacks

[brazen elm]

bell ringer probably

[obtuse hornet]

He was also cause this like red light to go around the enemy it was weird

[toxic musk]

That's it, next time I disagree with someone I'm going to follow them firing Bell Ringer with the Bat Drone

[brazen elm]

probably a drone or that flying skill whose name i forgot

[shy warren]

I have a build that gives you 100% hazard protection. With 4 armor cores 3 red cores and 1 skill core.

[toxic musk]

With the Rogue skin, by the sounds of it

[brazen elm]

memento i assume

[undone timber]

Backfire doesn't need any hazpro to be good in it's niche at all

It's more of a hindrance to your DPS than anything

[feral knoll]

No? Memento doesn't drop anything affecting skills.

[shy warren]

I can still hit up to a million damage. What are you talking about. The only problem is the bullet spread being chaotic.

[brazen elm]

it's honestly just quick 3 shoot > reload cycles at the start of a fight compared to trading dps stats for hazpro

[errant ember]

Like I said, the backfire effects wont affect you after you reload 3 times. Yall didnt play around with it in escal?

[undone timber]

Significantly less than you'd hit without any hazpro

[undone timber]

I only use it in the incursion but it's pretty much BIS there

[feral knoll]

I don't mind Bell Ringer; the scretching bat is loud AF and gets tiring quickly.

[brazen elm]

but eh whatever anything works under solo leggo

[undone timber]

Escalations I just use the mk46 or archivist depending on tier

[errant ember]

same rule applies there too. Although since its SMG, the range isnt good for first phase

[shy warren]

Well everyone is entitled to their manufactured opinion.

[undone timber]

I mean it's not an opinion it's just a fact

[brazen elm]

😌 let it go man

[undone timber]

Whether or not it hitting for less is a hindrance depends on the use case but objectively it will do less damage

[brazen elm]

i've spent too much time here to know people don't listen to unsolicited build advice

[errant ember]

I've spent enough time with idiots to know that you can't win against them with pure facts and logic

I rather take the L and leave than stay and lose more brain cells ngl

[obsidian atlas]

okay hear me out, birdie's quick fix and stinger hive

[brazen elm]

does it even affect hives that aren't the reviver

[obsidian atlas]

i was pretty sure the duration still matter

[flat forge]

stinger duration is rarely a problem

[undone timber]

I've heard it only affects the reviver but haven't tested myself

[brazen elm]

i'd rather just btsu gloves

[undone timber]

You run it for the revive speed not to buff your hive

If you wanna do the latter the data gloves are better in every way

[obsidian atlas]

okay okay brazos and pallisade with a side of visionary

[shy warren]

So, how will you set up your backfire smg without haz pro?

[undone timber]

All red w/ crit like any other dps

[errant ember]

the modifiers itself give you overcharge every 45s and Quickfix mainly used for the funny touch and stand talent ability.

[brazen elm]

just stick it in any striker or HF build

[undone timber]

Obviously I have it tuned for the incursion so I use turmoils and overdogs w 4 striker

[brazen elm]

Don't rely on modifiers too much, they go away after the season

[shy warren]

Already doing a striker myself. What exactly different
Are you doing here.

[brazen elm]

More damage?

[hidden temple]

is game down?

[undone timber]

More damage

[shy warren]

To yourself or the enemy?

[brazen elm]

isnt that the mask that gives range

[silver eagle]

5 damn hours

[eager dock]

5 hours downtime what am i supposed to do? touch grass? Last time i did that i broke my leg

[errant ember]

200 stacks striker + backfire prolly the best consistence damage output if you manage to keep both stacks

[brazen elm]

play something else

[static ruin]

its resetting for the new event

[errant ember]

Untouch the grass and touch rogue agents.

[sage thicket]

There's a five hour lore recap video you can watch.

[errant ember]

Nah, go back to division 1 and farm classified gearset

[undone timber]

Done them all what now

[static ruin]

start a sucessful business and pass down generational wealth

[stuck hamlet]

hey guys what's the best general DPS build that doesn't need to build stacks to work 🤔 ?

[hybrid ore]

Happy Server Maintenance Downtime, Agents! 🎆

[static ruin]

or donate it all to a charity and have your children curse u

[hybrid ore]

https://tenor.com/view/xdefiant-xbox-pc-ps5-ubisoft-gif-745843868406850139

[errant ember]

that would teach his child not to value the money. I rather suggest to fully embrace unga bunga part of his genes and return to cave.

[static ruin]

that is tru, unga bunga is happiness anyways, less mental shit

[polar thorn]

I believe the maintenance has begun, yes?

[errant ember]

Can I update the game while the server down? my internet is so slow, I might undownload the update

[sharp ginkgo]

was sad cus game down, but happy cus first event back looks fire asf

[static ruin]

ikr im so excited

[undone timber]

I will be selling my phone and investing in a carrier pigeon

[polar thorn]

Worth the trade ngl, I would wait 5 hours.

[sharp ginkgo]

the pdr sounds hype

[static ruin]

im gonna get the chance to get cool items

[elfin hazel]

down for maintenance should be back up <t:1776774600:R> / <t:1776774600:t> patch notes are here

[errant ember]

Why you investing in publiv goverment spy drone

[static ruin]

thats too modern

[sharp ginkgo]

i just got the season pass too 30min before close, so i got that gun to mess around as well:0

[polar thorn]

8:30 eh, I guess imma watch Grand Blue

[polar thorn]

Good stuff, hope you're having good time with the new AR.

[errant ember]

I jsut want to update le game :c

[sharp ginkgo]

overall good time, I left for awhile because destiny was poppin for a few years but its in the gutter

[inner elbow]

A 5-hour maintenance really does bring out the weirdest of humans

[brazen elm]

ongoing directive, negotiator's has some stacking but its main thing is marking enemies to spread damage

[polar thorn]

Updating via steam or in-game?

[sharp ginkgo]

is the game crossplay yet?

[brazen elm]

no

[sharp ginkgo]

is there a date for it, when i google it i just get the response soon

but half the front page of google nowadays is ai lmao

[errant ember]

I use Ubisoft connect (Steam le too good)

[shy warren]

Already using the chest piece.

[hybrid ore]

"crossplay is coming some time in 2026" is the official info we have right now.

[brazen elm]

no specific date, just within this year

[errant ember]

why trust clankers when in ISAC we love?

[sharp ginkgo]

Oki just wanted to make sure it was as the google AI said

i hate taking its info as solid info lol

[brazen elm]

it never is

[hybrid ore]

Just stick to official posts by Ubi/MSV and you're solid.
Gemini swears blind that it's already out.

[polar thorn]

Yeah, idt you can update while the game is in maintenance.

[errant ember]

doubting clanker? he's 1 of us bois!

[brazen elm]

pos wristwatch

[sharp ginkgo]

Will be after todays update, still in like shellshock of whats going on in the game nowadays

the sale was hard to beat on pc, ive not been on since console. High frames go brrr

[errant ember]

whats the update size anyway?

[hybrid ore]

@sharp ginkgo There is no indication that crossplay is releasing directly after maintenance today.

[sharp ginkgo]

I mean, ill be keeping up with the news

[hybrid ore]

Ooh right, yeah good call!

[icy frost]

Why is server offline?

[hybrid ore]

The sheer amount of times I've had to type out that sentence, I'm starting to see it in dreams.

[pale hare]

Hello all after many years ive come back to the div 2 great sale for steam .havnt played since console looks great on pc

[errant ember]

you were having fun. We dont allow that

[sharp ginkgo]

lmao dont worry im smooth brain but i understood the first time:)

i can see that being an often/annoying question though

[icy frost]

No for real, I just realized today we get update. How long is it for btw?

[hybrid ore]

Nah us mods don't mind answering the same question over, it's what we're here for!

[sharp ginkgo]

In that case, ive got another

[polar thorn]

5 hours at minimum, so get some rest.

[stuck hamlet]

This is my first time doing an event, is the idea just to run around aimlessly in open world to get ambushes?

[icy frost]

Oh damm…

[icy frost]

Same question

[sharp ginkgo]

was wondering if the level skip lets me do the upcoming event stuff or will i have to unlock anything past that

[static ruin]

from the notes apparently its like every 10 mins so i guess so. idk im new too

[feral knoll]

bounties and control points are good options; i'm slowly stockpiling bounties for events like this so I have heaps to do.

[stuck hamlet]

I haven't done bounties in a while so certainly an option 🤔

[brazen elm]

im guessing it's like retal kill squads

[stuck hamlet]

Retal has an objective though so at least I have a goal

[feral knoll]

also reminder that there are open world priority tasks you can do for various rewards.

[hybrid ore]

There's more to this Event than just event specific Kill Squads, just an FYI.
I'd recommend reading this to get the right info: https://thedivision2.com/tu-y8s1-1-update-notes

[stuck hamlet]

I'm not so good when I don't have an end xD

[feral knoll]

do bounties and or clear control points; both have a logical end.

[stuck hamlet]

Yeah your suggestion was good and will be noted 😄

[feral knoll]

priority tasks as well.

[brazen elm]

they knew if they used bounties we'd just farm the ads and reset the bounty

[onyx rivet]

End to reset it yes

[stuck hamlet]

We'd only do that if there are a whole bunch of adds and all drop great loot, if you made the adds not drop great loot people wouldn't do it :p

[zenith urchin]

i dont understand why they specifically made the event kill squads outcasts

[brazen elm]

i mean people farmed krampus ads just for the keys

[zenith urchin]

is it going to tie into the main story?

[hybrid ore]

@zenith urchin Google what "ronin" are. It's almost a pun to make them Outcasts.

[zenith urchin]

like obviously not the event itself but maybe central park is about outcasts?

[feral knoll]

it's a seasonal event, tied to a theme; not everything needs to have 500 pages of lore attached, lol.

[zenith urchin]

no yeah i understand that but the patch notes also talk about how "their tech is faulty"

[hybrid ore]

It's like if we got a "spring cleaning" event, and the enemies were cleaners called "janitors".

.....TM Rivens 2026.

[onyx rivet]

Is one of yall online? Can someone check something for me

[pale hare]

Will we get an announcement when servers are up realy enjoying playing

[feral knoll]

none of us are bro, there's maintaiance for the update. lol.

[zenith urchin]

i understand the thematic and humorous intention behind it but considering we have an upcoming dlc in the goddamn plaguelands of new york and green poison is the outcasts' shtick, it made me 🤔

[onyx rivet]

Ahhhh what update?

[civic perch]

5h down

[hybrid ore]

#server-status will have a post.

[feral knoll]

it's pretty much self-contained, really. I think hunting for hidden meaning in it all is probably going way deeper than the developer has considered. There might be a tie-in, but imo doesn't need to and it can just be it's own thing.

[brazen elm]

i doubt it'll be anything canon

[static ruin]

theres a new cherry blossom event, lots of cool shit and lots of returning things

[hybrid ore]

https://thedivision2.com/tu-y8s1-1-update-notes

[random lodge]

Hi is there update or anything right now

[feral knoll]

the timing on that question, lol.

[static ruin]

do u just have this copied onto your clipboard lmfao

[feral knoll]

we are gonna be asked that question about 3000 times today.

[hybrid ore]

maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe

[static ruin]

[obsidian atlas]

[static ruin]

oh nah i know i was joking lol

[meager pollen]

how long will it take to update?

[neat kernel]

A day

[sage thicket]

A 5 gig patch apparently.

[civic perch]

i have 2.5

[inner elbow]

Hi guys how do I reduce the expertise on my weapon? I'm dealing too much damage on Hard difficulty

[civic perch]

?

[meager pollen]

you don't make another

[neat kernel]

You can’t. The only way is to find/craft the same weapon without expertise

Why would you want to play on hard?

[uncut harbor]

Ikr ! It’s bad when your gun is too powerful 😂

[hybrid ore]

Don't worry, we don't ban over dumb questions.

[brazen elm]

Just play on challenging at that point

[static ruin]

is the sky blue?

[hybrid ore]

Well it's night here, so no.

maintenance will continue.```

[torpid plume]

There's a hidden method most players don't know about, It's the playing on a higher difficulty tactic.

[solar lotus]

Hey why is there a 6 gb update for dv2

[lethal moon]

Cherry Blossom event.

[uncut harbor]

Hi is there an update ?

[elfin hazel]

[ocean ibex]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SERVERS ARE DOWN 😭

[woven crane]

[woven crane]

[solar lotus]

Any idea when the severs will be back up

[deft roost]

5 hours?

[ocean ibex]

🫃

[elfin hazel]

<t:1776774600:t>

there's a timer in the pinned messages

[ocean ibex]

🫃

[dusty walrus]

Is there any chance to server up before time

[elfin hazel]

yes

[obsidian atlas]

i do hope they fix the ivory key issue, again

[ocean ibex]

holy shi thats so long

😭

[solar lotus]

🫃

[hybrid ore]

Think of the 5 hours as a sort of middle estimate. Could be longer, could be shorter.

[meager pollen]

is that central time?

[sharp ginkgo]

I seen someone mention floor 99

Is that an activity of floor climbing or just something specific

[olive nova]

what time is it for y'all in NA and europe tho? for asia it's like the right time when im arriving at home kekw

[ocean ibex]

how about I dont think of it at all cuz im addicted and I cant play rn

[hybrid ore]

@meager pollen The time Drib listed is local for you.

[meager pollen]

roger that

[ocean ibex]

I want everyone here to collectively tag me when servers are up, u get a cookie

[woeful solstice]

update is 2.5gb right !

[polar thorn]

Time for Dota.

[brazen elm]

summit

[alpine lantern]

The maintenance has been extended by approximately 5 hours.

[ocean ibex]

🌭

[obsidian atlas]

stand down soldier, your eagerness to serve the country is noted but your misconducts will not be tolerated

[sharp ginkgo]

Is that a climb mode where I start at floor 1?

[brazen elm]

i just said it

[alpine lantern]

yes..

[icy frost]

@hybrid ore can you tell me something, does higher difficulty as in running around on heroic with modifiers gives us better chance at keys and rewards than normal or not for spring event?

[ocean ibex]

[sharp ginkgo]

Damn I must be a criminal for asking for clarification teehee

[icy frost]

And if yes by how much?

[torpid plume]

No you start at 100 and climb down

[ocean ibex]

🫃

[hybrid ore]

difficulty will increase your drop chance for the Keys, yes.
not directives though.

[ocean ibex]

that made me chuckle

[icy frost]

Any charts or something by how much?

[hybrid ore]

When the actual patch notes go live: we may see something.
but I wouldn't overly assume. Don't worry, you've got 3 weeks to farm them.

[ocean ibex]

u start at 100 and u take a slide down to floor 1

[split cedar]

i gotta find someone i can roam around in DC with to have both Rhonins spawn : (

[icy frost]

Okay thank you

[sharp ginkgo]

As long as it’s slippery

[obsidian atlas]

you start at 50 and alternatively climb up and down to each floor cleared

[onyx rivet]

Wanted to see if lincoln mission in now avaible for intalliation hahahahah

[ocean ibex]

D

[ocean ibex]

its geometry dash but in div 2

[alpine lantern]

if you mean escalation then lincoln mission will be available in this mode..

[icy frost]

Why everyone is waiting for that particular mission?

[sharp ginkgo]

The joke is going on so long that this one sounds partially not bad

[ocean ibex]

lincoln himself is in ur team

[onyx rivet]

Ahhhh perfect man grind is on

[sharp ginkgo]

100 split into pathways with modifiers rather than straight forward progression

[onyx rivet]

That mission is so easy to farm

[icy frost]

Ohhh

[obsidian atlas]

the summit roguelike

descent but up the tower

[hybrid ore]

Think of it like Underground, but Up.

[alpine lantern]

Escalation Week 4:
H5 Refinery
Lincoln Memorial
DCD Headquarters
District Union Arena
Camp White Oak

[inner elbow]

Think of it like the backrooms, but up

[hybrid ore]

@alpine lantern Is that info from ingame before the reset?

[ocean ibex]

oh comeon

fine ill chill

[torpid plume]

And on the last floor you have to fight a giant black couch

[acoustic flare]

hopefully the update goes live before the 5 hour mark

so tempted to get lexington

[ocean ibex]

my comment on that got deleted bro lets not get banned

[split cedar]

whats so good about the lexington tho

[ocean ibex]

its just the best

[inner elbow]

Over-hyped ammo-guzzler

[acoustic flare]

just need an AR so i can use a useful secondary like the scorpio or ravenous

[brazen elm]

It's literally just a police m4 with slightly more damage and a different skin

[acoustic flare]

it has the highest base dmg after f2000 and with killer the dmg numbers are always high

[torpid plume]

I think a prototype lexington would be quite good

[split cedar]

killer is the talent on it?

[brazen elm]

you can change the talent

[ocean ibex]

🧢

btw im talkin shi, I dont even have the lexi 🥀

[split cedar]

lmao

[hybrid ore]

Lex is popular because it comes pre- godrolled with dtooc.
Use it by all means, but it's just a police-m4 that fashions not as well.

[meager pollen]

what is dtooc?

[brazen elm]

it's technically the best but not by much

[ocean ibex]

maybe cuz I dont have it, but it looks badass to me

[split cedar]

damage to out of cover targets

[inner elbow]

Damage to Targets out of cover

[acoustic flare]

it reminds me of the lvoac from division 1 so call it nostalgia

[meager pollen]

ahhhh

[acoustic flare]

it was my go to gun on division 1

[ocean ibex]

detox for the soul

[hybrid ore]

That is actually what it's a reference to, name included.

[split cedar]

ok, i thought it was like the go-to godlike AR, imma just stay with my elmo

[civic perch]

i like the named acr with perfect ranger more rn

[obsidian atlas]

free damage against people who forget what covers are

[ocean ibex]

acr is slept on lowkey

[inner elbow]

You can argue that the Lexington has higher base damage than the Elmo, but that high ends when you run out of ammo cuz its got terrible ammo efficiency

[torpid plume]

Donald Trump out of cover

[split cedar]

OR, Lexington + Alehandro on striker 🤔

[obsidian atlas]

that's a good one

[brazen elm]

lexington can get a damage talent which puts it ahead of elmo

[hybrid ore]

Elmo is a great starter endgame AR.
it has fantastic mod slots, a massive magazine, and a solid talent.

[meager pollen]

i mainly want lexington on my heartbreaker build.

[ocean ibex]

bro alejandro is broken, that lmg is just so good

[meager pollen]

big alejandro on tipping scales

[split cedar]

with the new passive modifiers i have a 97 mag on it, feels very good

[inner elbow]

When you have too much damage, adding more damage will have diminishing returns.

[hybrid ore]

106 rounds with my current 3pc UA build. Love that thing.

[split cedar]

UA build? as in Unit Alloy?

[hybrid ore]

yep!
high-end build, 3pc UA w/ overdogs.

[acoustic flare]

mk46 with frenzy is just different even alejandro cant come close to that dmg

[ocean ibex]

United Arabs

[hybrid ore]

All credit to Prod', I'll see if I can find a picture.

[inner elbow]

Its like a Chiron at top speed, runs out of ammo in 12 seconds

[brazen elm]

on challenging sure but on higher diffs you need damage

[split cedar]

i never really used the overdogs because i cant keep track of which enemy is in which tier, i just shoot whoever is closest to me / out of cover

[hybrid ore]

Found it! #td2-build-advice message

[acoustic flare]

thats the point of it 100% uptime of frenzy

[torpid plume]

I tried big alejandro on tipping scales, I prefer the GR9 with frenzy and 430 mag size gets me to about 1900 rpm

[brazen elm]

it's still a solid buff even if you don't keep track

[hybrid ore]

Same build nowadays, but I've got echo on the Equa.
Proto gear isn't needed, but it's a hilarious talent.

[split cedar]

my go to glove is the Exodus really, saved my ass countless times

[acoustic flare]

echo is lowkey op asf

[opaque lion]

just came back from the gym, the game's update is now downloadable. Game is still in maintenance

[acoustic flare]

you can see the dmg scale with 4 piece echo

[split cedar]

also idk if its normal but once that smokebomb drops it feels like my character goes out of combat in that smoke and regens my full armor

[hybrid ore]

Yeah that happens every maintenance.

[inner elbow]

Frenzy doesnt work when out of ammo

Funnily enough

[brazen elm]

just dont miss

[acoustic flare]

have you considered not shooting the wall?

[hybrid ore]

Without Directives, going out of combat will regen your health+armour.

[torpid plume]

I got lucky and ended up with 3 echo 3 quantum on my build

[split cedar]

well that happens when the enemy is right next to me and im still shooting, so idk why exodus' power lets me regen my armor

[ocean ibex]

Im writing in my journal about the div 2 servers shutting down

[brazen elm]

i've genuinely never ran out of ammo midfight outside of anderson manhunt final boss

[ocean ibex]

manifesting servers going back up

[split cedar]

withdrawal symptoms cannot be THAT bad damn

[torpid plume]

You are going to need a lot of pages

[acoustic flare]

If you spam lmg ammo on chungas then yeah you will run out just swap to your secondary ravneous or scorpio or even a lexington

[torpid plume]

I run out of ammo in nearly every room T5 escalation 🤣

[hybrid ore]

"dear diary, today Rivens was mean to me about journaling over game maintenance".

[ocean ibex]

D

[brazen elm]

Do yall not refill between rooms or something

[torpid plume]

I refill at every box

[hybrid ore]

I can tell you that 90% of the groups I'm in, don't open any crate, health/ammo/grenades. Nada.

[ocean ibex]

oh wait, where the mean part ?

[inner elbow]

An AI that is self-conscious, not bad

[signal dagger]

Don't shoot on the walls maybe 😅 🤣

[ocean ibex]

yesterday I was journaling about CK

[torpid plume]

Hey you can't steal other people's jokes

[feral knoll]

ongoing directive; what are ammo crates?

[signal dagger]

Sorry I didn't read all before haha

[torpid plume]

I could switch to steady handed but where's the fun in that

[signal dagger]

I mean, if in a group of 4 people are running out of ammo, probly because there's damage missed xd Everytime it happened I saw my team did 0 damage lol

[ocean ibex]

c juste des gros poche

[inner elbow]

C'est la vie

[split cedar]

do you check the summary after mission? the same summary that sometimes says -1450M dmg dealt? 🤔

[ocean ibex]

le nombre de poule pa dtete dans ce jeux qui font nimporte quoi

[signal dagger]

Yeah I think over 2000M damage it starts to goes negative lol

[inner elbow]

2147M

[iron notch]

Any of you gentlemen down to farm this event, in about 5 hours? 😄

[torpid plume]

It's situational, I run out of ammo alot but always have the most DPS, Also you can actually do so much DPS it can reset your damage back to 0 and start from there so some missions I end up with 200 million

[ocean ibex]

bro knows ball

[signal dagger]

De ouf... Les mecs mm pas full stuff qui viennent en escalade 5 tkl...

[torpid plume]

After negative it goes back to 0

[clever lark]

POV: You're finally productive because servers are under maintenance

[iron notch]

If anyone doesn't have the Lexington, you'll have a chance at getting it now!

[split cedar]

if you're around when servers come back online yes : )

[signal dagger]

And do you know if it's better usually a higher negative or lower ?

[iron notch]

Alrighty! 💪🏽

[inner elbow]

Ok joke's over, this is primarily an English server

[ocean ibex]

ou le gars qui veux "essayer" des builds faike ton retal prend 2heures

[signal dagger]

Ah nvm someone answered xd

[torpid plume]

Just brought my first house and got married because the division servers were down

[signal dagger]

Yeah you right my bad ^^

[iron notch]

What Division does to a mfer.. 😂

[feral knoll]

I made a hot cup of coffee - it's been daaaaays, need more downtime so I can make another later.

[tropic sentinel]

Depends what you consider higher negative or lower.

[ocean ibex]

bro u not even 99 str dont talk to me

[split cedar]

its been so long the rust fixed itself on my car and its brand new like its 2003

[torpid plume]

The lowest high

[signal dagger]

I'd say between -1309M and -1890M for example. What would be better ? -1890M ?

[ocean ibex]

I just got divorced, not playin div 2 made me realise my wife isnt all that

[inner elbow]

Server rules dont care about your DnD stats

[ocean ibex]

2147m

[torpid plume]

It is 2003, The server was delayed indefinitely and made time go in reverse

[torpid plume]

Yes

[signal dagger]

Okok I see. Well that's counterintuitive xD

[tropic sentinel]

-1309m is more damage, assuming integer was flipped only once for both values.

[iron notch]

And now that there's maintenance, you'll have more time to think about it. 😂

[feral knoll]

Server updates are always entertaining.

[ocean ibex]

I cant believe in 8years they coudnt fix that

[inner elbow]

There is nothing to fix

[torpid plume]

It's the only time people are in general chat

[brazen elm]

bigger negative number is lower

[iron notch]

That downtime there always is between these updates, for some reason brings the best out in people. 😂

[inner elbow]

Its just integer overflow, its not like it's breaking anything

[ocean ibex]

Zezima thought us better

[signal dagger]

Well you all say different things 🤣 Why not just fix it 🤣 🤣

[ocean ibex]

100%

[iron notch]

Is it correctly understood, that the event is gonna have a community event where we all need to collectively obtain millions of keys?

[brazen elm]

fixing it would probably break like 100 other things that are more important

[split cedar]

donate*

[signal dagger]

Yes

[inner elbow]

"If it ain't broken, dont fix it"

[tropic sentinel]

The closer it gets back to 0, the higher the damage is.

[sick thicket]

your oathplate is red and your torva is default 🗣️ 😤

why can't we post gifs in here 💔

[devout river]

That's why

[elfin hazel]

so do we want to keep this going or what

because people can't behave

[iron notch]

Alright gentlemen, let's chill out now. 😭

[feral knoll]

Sometimes not talking is the correct approach.

[split cedar]

oh messages got purged, someones been naughty

[devout river]

Double slow mode also. Just to be safe

[upbeat idol]

But why my message ?

[broken tusk]

freakin narc

[normal kraken]

some people in here always in double slow mode

[devout river]

That hyena spice be kicking hard some days man. They just go manic

[split cedar]

i didnt see that

[normal kraken]

anyone here watch invincible?

[devout river]

YouTube spoiled the hell out of everything for me. Pragmata also. Friggin annoying

[feral knoll]

You can just not watch videos by the way.

[devout river]

Thumbnails and titles.

[feral knoll]

Hide it; you can filter what you see.

[sturdy hazel]

yo kofeyh u gotta be ragebaiting

[broken tusk]

spoilers!!! head ahh

[devout river]

Oh he is. He is bored.

[feral knoll]

No? I have set most div2 channels to be not shown. For example.

[normal kraken]

Keener is alive guys

[torpid stump]

same

[devout river]

"alive"

[brazen elm]

The real keener is off somewhere building an army while he has a body double with us

[devout river]

We got deep fake keener

[feral knoll]

You can mark anything youtube shows you as not interested, can also block. So, not ragebait, its because the algorithm will purposely show me stuff that I don't care about and I can tell it to get knotted.

[sharp ginkgo]

Thats not how an algorithm works

[feral knoll]

Yes it is. It's based on what you view; it also surfaces stuff that is getting a lot of views. Can nuke history as well.

[torpid stump]

not interested or dont recommended

[devout river]

But I am interested. I played 2 hours on steam then refunded cause it's not worth 60 dollars but I wanted to get some progress saved when I buy it again on sale. I like the dynamic and music in the game. Very well made.

[sharp ginkgo]

An algorithm is feeding you stuff because you interact with it, so clearly it’s working. Stop engaging with content you “dislike”.

If your algorithms are literally that bad, it means you often engage and I would assume rage bait the communities for the media you get.

[feral knoll]

Bingo.

[sharp ginkgo]

So yknow how much easier life is when you just have silly haha media instead of using it to be weird though right? Even from a standpoint where it’s for personal validation only.

[feral knoll]

My point is you can be a passenger or be more active. YouTube is still gonna do what it does, but It's still a choice, one that can be managed to a reasonable extent.

[sharp ginkgo]

Objectively makes no sense, you’ve lost the plot irl

[feral knoll]

? Okay.

[lapis latch]

What time are the servers back online uk?

[feral knoll]

About 5 hours after the outage started.

[lapis latch]

Thank you

[elfin hazel]

there's a timer in the pinned messages <t:1776774600:t>

[zenith urchin]

you control the buttons you press

[upbeat idol]

But which time zone

[elfin hazel]

that's your local timezone

[feral knoll]

Yep.

[upbeat idol]

Oh very nice thx

[stuck hamlet]

Do we know how many daily active players the game has? 🤔

[feral knoll]

Not accurately.

[sage thicket]

At least a dozen.

[stuck hamlet]

The community goal I assume will be at a super obtainable amount ?

[feral knoll]

It's across all platforms. So cumulative.

[stuck hamlet]

Yeah but without knowing how many players it's hard to know how achieveable it is even with cross platform xd

[obsidian atlas]

not to mention the resurgence of the recent anniversary

[inner elbow]

it's achievable.

[feral knoll]

It's the first time they've done it iirc, so there would be no relevant numbers.

[stuck hamlet]

like a million keys across 250k players is only 4 keys per player 🤷

[feral knoll]

I don't think it's going to remain a challenge for long. Not in this community that tends to understand the assignment.

[hidden temple]

when will the game be up ya reckon?

[elfin hazel]

3 hours

[inner elbow]

it could be time-gated anyway. there's no way devs would allow players to miss out on the community goal, so if push comes to shove, they will adjust the goalpost'

[stuck hamlet]

I mean lets face it, any game that does a community event that fails to meet the goal looks really bad for the devs :p

[feral knoll]

I don't think it's a concern at this stage. Games tend to get a spike in concurrent players after an update.

[stuck hamlet]

Yeah is just my first time here so not sure how it goes 😄

[plucky pumice]

i dont think it will be a problem WE can do it

[zenith urchin]

div 1 is quite fun

[feral knoll]

It's a vibe for sure. Shows its age at this point (the movement is a bit clunky) but the soundtrack and atmosphere is top notch.

[zenith urchin]

from what ive seen during the krampus event people will actually overachieve just to flex their individual donations

[dire ravine]

They did it with Christmas event also

[alpine lantern]

from what I remember, the community paid probably 4 times more than it was required..
