[torpid stump]

well i was asking

[mighty creek]

a

[wispy cliff]

On paper is the best stat gear but tbh there’s nothing you can do now with prototype gear that you couldn’t do before without it

[mighty creek]

Can anyone else logs in to Ubisoft connect?

[mighty creek]

eh nvm everythings trippin

[polar thorn]

We def need another sticker showing server status.

[flat forge]

wish the optimization event was today but cant complain about stocking up for shd points this week

[willow geode]

3x XP is a godsend for me

[flat forge]

3x exp also seems to apply to augment level since that looks to be directly tied to exp gain

[polar thorn]

only managed to get 140 shd ytd which is sad.

[mossy imp]

I did the first 2 recently and was impressed. They're good.

[polar thorn]

now waiting on silentnxz to test it out

[willow geode]

Got 160 today, whic his fine for me since Im farming keys instead

[polar thorn]

These new kill squads either have the worst drop chance or bugsoft hates me.

[agile gyro]

bad drop chance.

[polar thorn]

I did like 15 squads and not a single damn key, especially from ronin and literally said "ok f this shit"

[willow geode]

thats unlucky

[polar thorn]

Yeah, imma just

hit SHD 1000 real quick and get back to the event, should be easy

I just need my shd stats to be maxed

[willow geode]

Ill probably grind out the 1000 levels for the exotic cache too because why not

[polar thorn]

win-win situation.

[proper wasp]

Stupid question. But is it normal for the ronins spawning back to back?

[willow geode]

Lmao this lucky cat emote is so stupid but I love it

[dreamy crescent]

nope, just keep on trucking and shhhhhh

[polar thorn]

Silence.

[dreamy crescent]

👁️ 👄 👁️

[thorn thunder]

Anyone else can’t activate some of the lamps?

[sullen viper]

its not really necessary 500 and you should be ok everything after that is a bonus

[polar thorn]

eh, I could use that extra 15% damage and 10%..handling? I forgot

[sullen viper]

you dont go for damage first?

[polar thorn]

I go for chc first, chd second

[sullen viper]

ohh that might be the issue then

[polar thorn]

I'll be fine, the exp boost will be huge help.

Just need to..grind

[hybrid ore]

I believe it's not actually a 15% damage boost btw, been a while since I've looked at that.
If I'm right, then it's off the base damage of a gun, before red cores are applied.

[toxic musk]

Don't burn yourself out, though. The game is a marathon, not a sprint

[willow geode]

Huh. I somehow lost 50 stash spaces.. thats odd

[dreamy crescent]

Nah 16 hour TD2 shifts here we come

[toxic musk]

Pranking myself by swapping my gadgets around

[quiet smelt]

Matchmake open world exploration until you get a team doing ronin

[polar thorn]

so 15% base weapons then? eh, I will take it.

[dreamy crescent]

this is the tech^^

[polar thorn]

My bluescreen needs more DAMAGE.

[toxic musk]

10% weapon damage

[polar thorn]

oh

[dreamy crescent]

how much damage could my build do!?!? MORE DAMAGE

[quiet smelt]

I got 30 keys in an hour with a not so good team

[agile gyro]

Same here, I was yelling at my screen (without my mic on) telling them to shoot the ronins 😭

[dreamy crescent]

i farmed Hard difficulty, NW of bank headquarters for spawns. unholy amount of keys that i will not disclose

[polar thorn]

No.

It will be a disgrace if I actually waste this opportunity like I did in an expertise event and I will not LET IT HAPPEN AGAIN.

[agile gyro]

As you can see, this is PTSD here kids and adults.

[polar thorn]

so true

[quiet smelt]

We were being mowed down by turrets while fighting ronins 😔

[raven latch]

games ezpz to lvl up anyways no rush fr

[fervent sierra]

Is Ubisoft back up

[polar thorn]

like the moment I see 3xp, my goal changed to SHD 1K instantly.

[high river]

anyone know how the ronin spawn

[agile gyro]

My team was just doing everything but shooting the ronins at one point till they finally started shooting at them lol

[high river]

i got the prompt to call for backup but dunno how they spawn

[agile gyro]

Literally just walk around, they spawn every 10 minutes when you roam around the open world.

[dreamy crescent]

on god those Ronin turrets are ridiculousssss

[quiet smelt]

Same, mine just didnt spawn so I left

[fervent sierra]

And what's a Ronin?

[high river]

not the squad, the duo

[quiet smelt]

Masterless samurai

[dreamy crescent]

fancy version of a rogue agent for the event

[polar thorn]

alright, time to work. Have fun, everyone

[agile night]

the new chest animation in the event is game changing

[fervent sierra]

Ah I haven't played much today cuz Ubisoft had a atroke

[agile gyro]

Don't they both have a chance to spawn when roaming around?

[cursive sphinx]

If i get one more caretaker from these caches 💔💔

[high river]

only when you defeat a squad do you get a chance

[dreamy crescent]

you have to kill squads to buils up "agro" against ronins. after a few squads they will hunt you

[agile gyro]

Heres another caretaker.

[grizzled minnow]

aye seems to be after defeating a number of squads

[agile gyro]

Sounds about right

[ruby canopy]

ok so i just noticed there a x 3 exp event running😜

[humble python]

Does anyone know how to get the chill out mask

[cursive sphinx]

I just want my turmoil knee pads 💔

[quiet smelt]

Caretaker seems good, no ?

[fervent sierra]

Can't w spawn em similar to krampus units tho just going to where the loot goblin usually spawns?

[agile gyro]

crap idk- I got everything I want from this event cache's alr

I got turmoil, enough investor masks to supply a mini army, like 5 lexingtons, etc lol.

[signal dagger]

Yes you can, you'll spawn squads there.

[undone trail]

how do you get sakura apparel keys? I have 200 sakura keys but zero apparel ones

[signal dagger]

But there's supposed to be a 10 mins delay between spawns

[fervent sierra]

Cool I'll farm em tomorrow

[agile gyro]

If you are trying to open the apparel caches, just hold X on them.

[cursive sphinx]

Did they say if u can get prototype from these caches?

[agile gyro]

Yes but they are all bad proto's lol

[undone timber]

You can, very rarely, for certain items

[grizzled minnow]

Aye you can

[signal dagger]

Yeah + or - 2% chances of getting a proto but not good ones like lexington

[agile gyro]

Sent you a DM with all the gear cache things YETI

[fervent sierra]

Still higher than t10 in escalation

[signal dagger]

You didn't play today it seems

[agile gyro]

I wanna know whos gotten a proto bell ringer.

[signal dagger]

I played a couple of T3 today and my team got 10 to 15 protos each run xd

[wispy cliff]

What’s the fix if we can interact with lanterns?

[raven latch]

i got a xmas proto grupo bag from a cache with decent rolls

[fervent sierra]

Nah well I ran a few landmarks haven't did anything else before the stroke

[signal dagger]

The stroke ? Wait am I the only one who can't connect xd

[agile gyro]

Welcome to the stroke, how may I take your order?

[signal dagger]

And yeah try escalation they really upgraded the drop rate from items in daily pool

[dreamy crescent]

youve been exiled cuh

[agile gyro]

Nah bros been banished to the shadow realm.

[fervent sierra]

That's good at least

[signal dagger]

Ah seems I just got autorized again xD

[agile gyro]

Sir, who are you responding to.

Because what I said was NOT good for him.

[hybrid ore]

That's good at least

[signal dagger]

I think he's talking about proto drops ? xd

[agile gyro]

Nah I think you got a D1 hater bro.

Bros wishing on that downfall in everyway shape and form.

[signal dagger]

Ah uh... I didn't play D1 so I don't feel concern xd

[agile gyro]

D1 means like top tier hater, not division 1 lol

[hybrid ore]

Pixel, making up your own slang is weird, we've told you this.

[signal dagger]

Ah... Well. I still don't feel concerned XD

[agile gyro]

wat 😭

[grizzled minnow]

tbf that's a US sports thing

[raven latch]

who hating who

[agile gyro]

I'm just your friendly neighborhood idiot who watches this chat for entertainment purposes

[ruby lynx]

Are there prototype caches in this event?

[agile gyro]

It's really better then most movies now aday's

[signal dagger]

2% chance of getting one, something like that

[agile gyro]

Less according to this reddit post, its 0.5

[quaint prairie]

is ubisoft still down ?

[wise crane]

can the new NPC's spwan in retal orly open world?

[signal dagger]

Post says 0.5% of one pool, 1% of the other, and I think 0.5% of another

[ruby lynx]

Oh ok in the same gear stash.

[agile gyro]

Lemme just send you this post, I aint translating this. I'm too stupid.

[undone trail]

thank you, I don't know why it was so difficult to figure out 🙂

[agile gyro]

and tired.

[agile gyro]

I had the same issue, bird shot helped me with it lol. Dw

[signal dagger]

First Bloom Prototype — 1% per cache

Prototype Gear Set — 0.5% per cache

Prototype Seasonal Named Gear — 0.5% per cache:

The Harvest — 10%
Chill Out — 10%
Sleigher — 10%
Slingshot — 10%
Oh Carol — 10%
First Sight — 10%
Quickstep — 10%
Festive Delivery — 10%
Snow Machine — 10%
Bell Ringer — 10%

[dreamy crescent]

i got proto snow machines 👁️ 🫦 👁️

[agile gyro]

No bell ringer? smh.

[dreamy crescent]

sorry boss

[agile gyro]

Idek why I'm judging, I dont have a proto bell ringer either.

[dreamy crescent]

wont happen again boss

[agile gyro]

lmao, all seriousness my friend would have a field day with a proto bell ringer. He loves annoying ppl with it

[tulip crystal]

got new proto first bloom

[whole ferry]

Ugh, that's like the third time a Ronin's spawned somewhere I can't immediately get to, and then instantly despawns.

[agile gyro]

Step 1. Show them your body, they like shooting at it.
Step 2. Shoot them.

[dreamy crescent]

i personally stay NW of Bank headquarters. best place for them to not get "stuck"

[agile gyro]

But I will say the groups I've been in have gotten quite a few buggy spawns.

[whole ferry]

I was at a control point, specifically The Choke, and they spawned on the other side of a building while I was in the supply room. By the time I got around to them, they peaced out.

[dreamy crescent]

anywhere SW is buggy af

[agile gyro]

For example being stuck inside the driver seat of a truck, being stuck behind closed doors, etc.

[golden tusk]

where is everyone going to get keys rn

[agile gyro]

RIPPPPP

Bug, now don't speak about it. #rules
heavily forbidden.

[dreamy crescent]

matchmake>open world exploration>find squad farming ronins>leave if no squad farming ronin>repeat

[silver thorn]

My apologies!

[agile gyro]

All g, people were getting warned left and right earlier for it lol

[fickle edge]

great

rogues and the new kill squad can appear at the same time

[silver thorn]

Call it a double jeopardy if you will

[agile gyro]

People are actually getting bothered by rogues? I've literally only had 1 in the past like month.

[dreamy crescent]

it depends how active you are clearing activities i believe, unless its just rng

[silver thorn]

I just had the ISAC prompt pop up in Judiciary Square and they never showed up

[agile gyro]

Yeah the one time they popped up, they didnt appear for me and we lost them immediately. This was in NY

[dreamy crescent]

pulse scanner is best friend, as soon as i hear them spawn i pop it up to check my area.

[agile gyro]

I'm pretty sure mine popped up then despawned immediately because we never saw them or any icons showing that they were doing crap. 🤷

[dreamy crescent]

they mainly kind of spawn near the host (not reliably) but majority of the time

[fluid meadow]

so is optimisation surge the event where you get double exotic components from scrapping exotics?

[undone timber]

Nah that's expertise surge

Optimisation is just recon data and calibration mainly

[mossy imp]

Which items are double? Is printer filament?

[undone timber]

No

All materials used to optimise only

[hoary glade]

Either im doing something wrong or is 5 levels the maximum in national bond with the exp event

[undone timber]

≈3.3m xp per run with the event

[dreamy crescent]

can be cleard in like 2-3 mins

[willow geode]

You can run NBA in like 3minutes. Thats free 5 levels every 2 - 3 minutes

[hoary glade]

Skill tiers have decimals now?

[hoary glade]

Yeah i did, its faster than roaming definitely

[grizzled minnow]

they round down i think, but yeh

[willow geode]

Prototype pieces with skill core give 1.5, but it rounds down for whatever stupid reason

[dreamy crescent]

imagine a x5 xp event 👀

i missed out on alot of them in the past, me regret

[willow geode]

3x is fast af too

[hoary glade]

Im definitely gonna make the most of this, i reached shd 580 by investing 80% of my playtime to roaming the control points

[dreamy crescent]

had to for those BP's and attachments so worth it

1 shot mmr builds go ham during those events

[hoary glade]

Fair, i got 3 tactical assesment blueprints now. So i guess it was still worth

[fervent cipher]

How bad is the drop rate for sakura keys guys

[fickle edge]

terrible

[fervent cipher]

Bring us back the bounties for them keys 😭😭😭😭

[dreamy crescent]

👁️ 🫦 👁️ just squad hop and pray you find a solid team farming

[fervent cipher]

No ps+

[dreamy crescent]

r.i.p o7

[raven latch]

get some

[fervent cipher]

I live in a third world country 😭

[raven latch]

steal some

[brazen elm]

Get on pc

[graceful dove]

The article doesn't say how to get the event apparel cache keys. Are they just every 3 shd levels like normal or is there a secret option im unaware of

[dreamy crescent]

you either buy them or use normal sakura keys on it

[graceful dove]

Oh like they're at the event vendor? I've been at work all day so idk what's what

[neon elbow]

So I noticed a bug I already payed $20 for bug mask and one time offer but it’s back on the store… lol I’ll take the extra points ty

[dreamy crescent]

yes, theres 3 caches at event vendor

cosmetic/gear/community

[graceful dove]

Oh cool

[vapid nimbus]

Whats NBA

[willow geode]

National Bond Armory

[vapid nimbus]

Thanks, planning to get my levels up and i wanna try this one out

[glass citrus]

~150 caches opened 0 Lexingtons. F this shit

[dreamy crescent]

that is, im so sorry cuh. i would never wish that on my greatest Ops

[glass citrus]

45 exotics so far

[quiet smelt]

Easily over 1mil xp per control point, for newer players still 700-900k, its fast fr

[willow geode]

~3.3 mill XP in National Bond Armory every 2 - 3 minutes

[quiet smelt]

I may do that tomorrow, my game just crashed while writing this xD

[flat forge]

its 2.4 mil+ with 5 directives

[polar thorn]

take mine, i will exchange it for turmoil

not very fan of it, the hype is nothing

[glass citrus]

if only

[toxic lily]

only weapon i want is the Regulas

[agile gyro]

Whos gonna tell him?

[polar thorn]

sad violin song

[thorn thunder]

Does uh

[polar thorn]

No.
I'm kidding.

[thorn thunder]

What does doing all the 40 decorations do?

[agile gyro]

gives you an arm patch iirc

[lethal moon]

I got my Quickstep about 10 caches in. A Lexington in about 50

[crisp plover]

W method actually worked — lowering from 1000Hz to 500Hz fixed the stuttering for me.

[lethal moon]

I also managed to get the Proto First Bloom. It had Swap Speed

[polar thorn]

I got 4 keys and an Lexington, imma just need turmoil and dip.

[lethal moon]

I think I got like 2 of them?

[polar thorn]

good riddance

[agile gyro]

I feel like I should try and get another turmoil just so I can mess around with em.

[polar thorn]

Now hand it over.

[agile gyro]

I can give you one of my like 10 investor masks instead

[high vessel]

I got one on my first 🥲

[dreamy crescent]

always get a backup

[pallid seal]

got some keys 🫩
https://ibb.co/JjKtx27x

[agile gyro]

I got like 3 in my first batch of 23 caches 😂

[pallid seal]

where can i post an image

[high vessel]

Do they all come with dmg to targets out of cover or is it like randomised

[dreamy crescent]

build advice or community

[hybrid ore]

Yep, all are pre-godrolled.

[agile gyro]

All come like that.

[high vessel]

Gotcha

[hoary glade]

30 levels in 15 minutes holy

[agile gyro]

Just spare incase u wanna change talents ig

[high vessel]

So I’m assuming turmoil would also be godrolled by default?

[hybrid ore]

#ask-td2-community if it's for a question, #td2-build-advice if it's to help with your build.

[agile gyro]

Pretty sure it is? I got basically all the stats maxed out on my one pair + 14.7% weapon damage.

[high vessel]

Neat

[agile gyro]

Could be wrong though, I'd have to get another pair to see

[hybrid ore]

Turmoil is godrolled, but may be bugged to be sliiiiiiiitly lower than perfect.

[high vessel]

I’m thinking of ditching my fox prayers for turmoil if I can get my hands on one

[sick acorn]

So dumb question… where do I find these guys to kill for the blossom event quests?

[agile gyro]

Just run around, they spawn every 10 min.

[brazen elm]

it's not that good, turmoil cuts your damage in half

[silver thorn]

Same strat + spawn locations as Krampuslauf and Houndsman Hounds

[high vessel]

I mean it really depends on the use case

[brazen elm]

very situational at best, you're dealing 50% damage to 2 enemies compared to ND dealing 100% of crits to 3 enemies

[silver thorn]

Hmmm, do I spend my keys on the apparel or gear… 🤔

Eh, I’ve worn the same outfit for the past few seasons. What the heck

[brazen elm]

apparel first, it's guaranteed

[agile gyro]

^

Only need to spend 30 keys for the apparel to get all the pieces. Once your done with them, your done.

[toxic flume]

^^

[silver thorn]

True

[dawn salmon]

too bad the key drop rate is ass

[meager pollen]

is the key drop rate bad on heroic or all around

[silver thorn]

I doubt difficulty affects drop rate

[hybrid ore]

Difficulty 100% affects drop rate.
directives do not.

[dawn salmon]

it does, and even on heroic its ass

[toxic flume]

It’s the best on heroic than lower difficulty… what I heard

[agile gyro]

Unironically I got more keys on hard mode then heroic somehow

[dawn salmon]

been playing all day and got like 6 lol

[opaque lion]

prototype Sleigher

[toxic flume]

🤔

[opaque lion]

even got the Agitator before i unlocked it in the BP

[toxic flume]

What about the water gun, prototype it

[opaque lion]

i got it from the event cache

[sudden meadow]

Drop rate goes from 50 to 65% by difficulty, but heroic is so much harder than normal that the extra 10-15% isnt even worth it.

[silver thorn]

Prototype Cooler kek

[agile gyro]

I'd love to get a proto bat drone just so I can witness the crashouts.

[dawn salmon]

and the boss doesnt even spawn every time

[runic remnant]

how do you access daily escalation for prototype?

[opaque lion]

a proto turmoil would be huge

[silver thorn]

Key drop rates are 50/50

either you do get it or you don’t

[toxic flume]

That’s the name, cooler. I have it sitting in my stash for ages 😭

[silver thorn]

You and me both

[sudden meadow]

By that logic, the lottery is also 50/50, either you get it or you don't.

[agile gyro]

If it was 50/50 my savings would be going into the powerball.

[sick thicket]

it is

[opaque lion]

it took a bit more keys but finally got the new named PDR

[toxic flume]

Don’t bring it up

[golden void]

is the lexington any good?

[lusty shale]

oh, sorry, my bad

[sudden meadow]

Yes lexi is a baddie

[opaque lion]

lexington is one of the worst ARs in the game

[drowsy pewter]

How good are proto drop chances rn?

[agile gyro]

Very noticably different apparently (in a good way)

[sick thicket]

50/50 or maybe 6 in 7

[toxic flume]

Way better than before, on top of TL

[opaque lion]

i got 1 in 20 keys

[drowsy pewter]

During escalations*

[sudden meadow]

They basically doubled drop rates except for t1

[opaque lion]

oh, then it's def better now

[sick thicket]

definitely 6 or 7

[toxic flume]

Gen A here ^

[dawn salmon]

escalation drop rates higher than keys lmao

[sudden meadow]

The system is still ass, but much more tolerable with targeted loot.

[drowsy pewter]

Okay okay

once im out of work im gettin in to grind it again
tyvm

[opaque lion]

oh another proto, OD Kneepads

[oak kestrel]

anyone having sluggish lag even I have 200fps

[agile gyro]

Like your mouse is stuttering?

[oak kestrel]

yes#

[agile gyro]

Turn down your polling rate for your mouse. It fixes the problem for now.

[oak kestrel]

it happen after the patch

[agile gyro]

I went from 1000 to 500 and I'm not stuttering anymore.

[silver thorn]

Strange weather we’re having, isn’t it? (It’s raining ash in DC)

[fringe trench]

Are lexingtons back?

[agile gyro]

Yes, they are in the gear caches you get from the event via sakura keys

[fringe trench]

Oh shi how do u get them

[silver thorn]

Sakura gear crates

[fringe trench]

How get those?

[raven latch]

Do ppl not read patch notes or nun 😂

[agile gyro]

Roam around and every 10 mins and the specialized NPCs for this event will spawn.

[fringe trench]

Nope

[sour void]

Kill Red Ronin and Fox Ronin hunters that spawn in the open world.

[fringe trench]

Oh ok thx

[polar thorn]

ronin has rng to spawn apparently, at least for me.

[tropic breach]

what do we get from community cache?

[polar thorn]

more cache

[agile gyro]

Apparel if they reach certain numbers.

[limpid pond]

I've had two ronin's now, spawn, but doors or whatever failing to open - they self-destruct?

[agile gyro]

Its a bug they haven't fixed yet

[dreamy crescent]

they can get stuck in alleyways/cars/underground tunnels.. kinda just how it is. my advice go NW ish of Bank Headquarters for propers spawns.

[polar thorn]

let's think positive, they locked themselves inside

[agile gyro]

We are built too diff for them

shut sat4nic

[polar thorn]

"We" - Pixel 2026.

[agile gyro]

Honestly Idek how I hit the enter button early

[polar thorn]

I wish Satanic is available for me

[eager talon]

So I've killed a few Kitsuneb groups and I still havent gotten a key, is the drop rate that low?

[agile gyro]

welcome to hell. Sat4nic will take your order

[polar thorn]

15 squads and ZERO key here.

[sour void]

They scared? That's OK - Dr. Farryn will use the painless gun

[polar thorn]

I will blast em 500 times if it's necessary

[sour void]

Houndsman was better than these rejects

[polar thorn]

Like Cooler?

[agile gyro]

Atleast houndsman was consistent-

[sour void]

Shroud to the head

[agile gyro]

Like I said I don't mind this event at all, I find it pretty cool. But the key drop rates are abysmal

[polar thorn]

"Finally, a worthy oppo-" dies

[sour void]

Already got the named PDR, after getting 30 more keys, i'm out

[agile gyro]

Doesn't help that they didnt bug test their own event prior to releasing it either and theres still 500 bugs in regard to it.

[polar thorn]

wait..is it possible to get prototype tipping scale from gear cache?

[agile gyro]

Yeah I got like 5 normal ones, and 1 proto one.

[polar thorn]

Wait nvm, it will be waste since my gears are maxed out.

[eager talon]

The spawn inbetween is also very long, its not even close to 10mins. More like 30-35mins

[agile gyro]

It's supposed to be 10, is yours bugged?

[eager talon]

I guess so

[raven latch]

They spawn faster in squads then solo

[sour void]

angry Aussie noises

[agile gyro]

In other words, make friends, get friends, solely for this event.

[eager talon]

WTB friends

[polar thorn]

Fair argument, but I did get multiple kill squads and ronin when I went solo

[raven latch]

You’ll see the diff

[vital talon]

no it isn't

[agile gyro]

I'm just glad I'm done with most of the event alr.

I don't have to deal with RNG or key grinding unless I want smth extra.

[fringe trench]

When do the ronin spawn?

[agile gyro]

Randomly every 10 min

[fringe trench]

Alr

[polar thorn]

my main goal is reaching SHD 1k, currently at 440

[obsidian atlas]

correction, there's a chance that they spawn after killing the kitsunebi

[agile gyro]

I need to reach 1k aswell lol

[fringe trench]

Where is he at?

[raven latch]

After 1k it’s easy materials

[obsidian atlas]

like it is said, after killing the kitsunebis

[agile gyro]

im js hoarding points so that I can dump them all into optimization crap when the surge happens

[raven latch]

Me too

[fringe trench]

Where do i find those

[agile gyro]

I can't say what I wanna say.

[raven latch]

You need start reading 😂 could figured it all out by now

[obsidian atlas]

should be every 10 minutes in freeroam, or if you're active about it, control points and retaliation

[dreamy crescent]

ronin (rogue agents) only spawn after you kill a certain amount of kitsune squads. kinda RNG ish Use the Matchmaking>OpenWorldExploration>and hop into random squads and pray they are farming the event. best way i got my keys.

[fringe trench]

K tha ms

[proven edge]

they're more like hunters than rogue agents

[snow mulch]

I was really hoping I'd get the quickstep in my first 20 keys.... 😭😭😭 I'm such a fool to think it would be that easy

[dreamy crescent]

same same, they are hunting you down and killing you all the samee

[agile gyro]

Yeah but unlike hunters, they dont have a melee attack. So you can just run up to them when they are healing and stun them for like 3 seconds just by love tapping them

[agile gyro]

How many times did you edit this message 😭

[obsidian atlas]

since rogue agents only use techs, those dang ronins emps your tech, good to see that the Devs still likes to........."tease and joke around" skill build players

[dreamy crescent]

im mid tier 6, tryna not die 😭

[agile gyro]

Bros a pro at multi-tasking

[raven latch]

Light work

[dreamy crescent]

thought i was safe, then i hear "agent down" 👁️ 👄 👁️

[agile gyro]

Bro was in fact, not safe.

[hoary glade]

Them ronins hit like a truck jesus

[dreamy crescent]

dont sleep on their turrets, oh my lordyyy

[agile gyro]

Tell me about it, I teleport to my teammates after I get shredded by them and I get shredded as soon as my screen loads.

[pulsar wigeon]

@empty cobalt

[agile gyro]

Bro I was screaming at my team (without my mic on) to kill the turrents when I was grinding them 😭

[raven latch]

It’s not too bad

[dreamy crescent]

aight mr. tough guy

[agile gyro]

Pretty sure one of my groups got squad wiped from a singular turrent before

[pulsar wigeon]

any one know how farm keys

[dreamy crescent]

they toss those turrets like tomahawks into the backline lmao its kinda funny seeing them yeet them

[lethal moon]

Their turret for some reason hits like 10x harder then any other turret I've seen

[obsidian atlas]

im pretty sure playing on normal will make key farming a lot easier, and heroic just slows down the whole thing

[raven latch]

true tho just black out pulse turrets etc easy

[dreamy crescent]

matchmaking>Open world exploration>find a squad thats farming event.

[agile gyro]

Slightly difficult when you are getting EMP'd constantly as soon as the previous EMP goes off cooldown

[pulsar wigeon]

[lethal moon]

Blackout pulse isn't affected by EMP.

[agile gyro]

Oh I misread I read it as normal pulse

[raven latch]

destroys them asap

[agile gyro]

Ignore my iliterate self.

[dreamy crescent]

i like the overload to much to take it off, i'll just shoot turrets with my gun lol

[obsidian atlas]

it sucks so much that they keep spamming the emps tho yeah, almost as if they're trying to tell me something........nah

[raven latch]

Both works 😂

[agile gyro]

Until its in a spot where it can shoot you freely, but you can't shoot it lol

[sick acorn]

Ok another stupid question, is the Jefferson plaza mission the same as the Jefferson trade center?

[obsidian atlas]

yeah the things about cover shooter and line of sight, sometimes devs mess up big time

[hoary glade]

Kill squads drop keys too?

[dreamy crescent]

6% on squads 65% on ronin

[empty cobalt]

no both are different

[sick acorn]

So where is the plaza, I’m looking all over the map. Sorry for stupid question

[polar thorn]

ya doing NBA or control points?

[agile gyro]

NBA

But I'm taking breaks inbetween so I'm not consistent at all

[dreamy crescent]

far south by southwest

[obsidian atlas]

65% on heroic BTW compared to 50% on normal

[empty cobalt]

right of DZ south Main entrance ,sry can't send SS

[polar thorn]

Yeah, no worries. Just let me know when ya running one

[odd briar]

The spawn rate of the kitsunebi is absolutely ridiculous. Is there anyway I can them turn them down?

[agile gyro]

Courtesy of my lack of attention span for running the same thing over and over without any shiny new items

[toxic musk]

Wait. Can the event guys can spawn in Retals?

[agile gyro]

You are the only one that wants them to be turned down.

[sick acorn]

Lord thank you guys, I’m so blind!

[obsidian atlas]

Farming method isn't matching chief

[toxic musk]

Something something definition of insanity

[polar thorn]

I mean, high possible

[dreamy crescent]

my steak is too juicy type moment

[odd briar]

Yea.. because im getting 3-4 squads spawning on top of each other. It's ridiculous for me being a solo player.

[toxic musk]

Waiter, waiter. My buttery is too steak

[agile gyro]

Half this server is requesting your location right now.

[dreamy crescent]

get in a squad, you get more keys that way.

[sullen viper]

its gonna get fixed so enjoy it while you can

[hoary glade]

Invite me

[toxic musk]

Wait a damn second. Is that Big Floppa?

[odd briar]

Half this server won't even look at my LFG posts. I highly doubt that.

[obsidian atlas]

Call for back up, you just hit retirement for this event

[toxic musk]

I am a proud enjoyer of nothing

[dreamy crescent]

just make your game OPEN through the social menu, people will join quickly.

[odd briar]

It is open...

[toxic musk]

Oh my god it's a Big Aloppa

[dreamy crescent]

• call for backup? and your not getting anyone?

[agile gyro]

Am I wrong for saying that I got booted to the main screen for division 2, and I look over and see "9 friends online" and I'm over here wondering how I got 9 friends 💀

[odd briar]

You have friends...? Lol

[agile gyro]

Only like 2 💀

[weary bison]

im still in shock that you got 9 friends all the stuff you say man

[odd briar]

Sadly.. No..

[agile gyro]

Whats this supposed to mean 😭

[toxic musk]

They're implying you're a meanie

[weary bison]

it means we shocked you got 9 friends

[agile gyro]

The only time I was "mean" to someone was the guy that didnt understand my sarcasm when I said that he was hallucinating because he had a fever

because he thought ubisoft support actually did smth other then be incompetent

[odd briar]

Im happy to invite people. I'm trying to hunt these lantern things.

[weary bison]

oh damn ya you was right he was gone over to the outher side and was crazy

[dreamy crescent]

invite me "The Wild Alpaca" if you need a body to help. im just afking jamming to music

[weary bison]

man these ninjas be popping up all around me making my amo disapear man

[grave jetty]

the wraith is evil

[toxic musk]

I should jump on to donate keys

[odd briar]

If you're an alpaca... How do operate a firearm? Lol

[dreamy crescent]

👁️ 🫦 👁️

[agile gyro]

All seriousness I can be serious when I want to, I just choose not to be. lol

[grave jetty]

what if you wanted to salute a flag, but ubisoft said

[toxic musk]

God damn it, I was gonna make a joke but then I remembered it's Llamas with hats, not Alpacas

[agile gyro]

It has 4 legs does it not?

[weary bison]

hey my neybor got 3 of those guys they crazy man

[grave jetty]

same thing

[toxic musk]

Instead of being serious, be chaotic and unpredictable

[weary bison]

and a lot of teeth

[agile gyro]

If I did that I'd be banned from the server.

[dreamy crescent]

just strap a minigun on my back, lemme be a warhound

[toxic musk]

This is why I'm going to throw confetti at Black Tusk

[agile gyro]

Yep, thats a visual I did not want to see.

[weary bison]

oh damn the real guns be showing up

[agile gyro]

Bro got made in the DARPA labs 🙏

if my lore memory serves me correctly

[weary bison]

he done gone crazy comakaziiiii

[grave jetty]

does the lex drop from the sakura gear crates?

[agile gyro]

yes

[grave jetty]

bet, figured that was how it worked

[prisma notch]

Anyone get a turmoil yet, pulled maybe 100 and nothing!

[weary bison]

doese the xp boost go for charicters under lv 40?

[toxic musk]

You can also get the almighty Prototype Oh Carol

[agile gyro]

I only got 1 out of like 80 crates.

[dreamy crescent]

yes it does

[agile gyro]

I did get a crap ton of lexingtons though so 🤷

[toxic musk]

Which is the best gun to ever shoot bullets. Trust

[weary bison]

k i might try get my alt to 40 she is like 35

[toxic musk]

.....Pixel, was it you who had a Proto Oh Carol dropped on you by my will?

[weary bison]

what squad is that?

[agile gyro]

no....

[toxic musk]

Just know, every Proto Oh Carol dropped in this event was willed into being by me

[agile gyro]

I totally dont have it sitting in my stash right now-

[weary bison]

damn manny wants it all

[toxic musk]

Who's Manny?

[agile gyro]

oh hell nah

someone pinch me to wake me up from this

[weary bison]

oh my bad the gummys kicked in im seeying shit

[azure saffron]

Server up?

[agile gyro]

I'mma be cursed with getting oh carols forever now.

[toxic musk]

Prototype Oh Carol will haunt your dreams

[agile gyro]

Been up for awhile.

[hoary glade]

God true sons are a lifesaver

[drowsy pewter]

Is it me or augments arent working
noticeable with paradox

[hoary glade]

Good meat shields

[agile gyro]

Why do I have a feeling he just made true sons extinct?

[weary bison]

and it be crazy people dien all over the place keys be flying all around people be screaming

[toxic musk]

I can't wait to evolve into Prototype Festive Delivery Bestower

[sick acorn]

So I thought something was going on. The servers still seem screwed up. I can’t pick up ammo from restock boxes

[agile gyro]

Sir, how many gummies did you have? 💀

[weary bison]

not as many as i want but probluy way way to many

[agile gyro]

We can tell.

[weary bison]

i log on havent playerd in a while and now i am a furry cossplayer

[agile gyro]

As I said, watching this chat is better then watching a movie.

[dreamy crescent]

go off king

[ruby oyster]

With the cherry blossom event be a good time to try and farm for the turmoil knee pads

[agile gyro]

Had a similar thought, I got on to play this event partially just to get abunch of cat costumes

[dreamy crescent]

the bunny skin was more furry then this event or am i just blind 👁️ 👄 👁️

[weary bison]

ya on xbox i got the fox and the bunny skins

[agile gyro]

Isn’t the bunny skin covered in blood though

[smoky orchid]

Something I just noticed expertising items is faster thank goodness

[agile gyro]

I beg you absolute purest finest genuinist (idek if that’s a word) pardon?

[smoky orchid]

I meant upgrading an item with expertise lol like leveling it from 1-30 its faster

[agile gyro]

I was gonna say I’m blind as hell if I missed that

[smoky orchid]

I just prototyped another MK46 and it literally boosted the same stat as my current lol the CHC and it gave me same augment

[agile gyro]

lol

[smoky orchid]

I was hoping it would boost the WD lol but ofc not game is rigged

[agile gyro]

Game is designed to work against you

[smoky orchid]

like it really does feel weighted to not max out the WD on any item

[dreamy crescent]

shhhhh, the gods are watching. just play the event/

[smoky orchid]

Dont even worry about how to do it just join someone doing it and enjoy lol

[feral knoll]

How's the update going? Have another 4 hours at work to go..

[smoky orchid]

Its great lol I got like 7 protos from a T5

[dreamy crescent]

pretty fun, prototype update is a big W

[drowsy pewter]

god damn proto drops are indeed better in escalation..
7 in tier 4 and we're not even in the end

[weary bison]

lots of keys lots of bullets flying and a lot of screaming

[smoky orchid]

good for proto core farming

[dreamy crescent]

Get outta there KURT RUSSEL

iykyk

[midnight juniper]

got it on my first one 🙂

then like 5-6 times more within 50 opening

[woeful solstice]

what i do for most possible xp in fastest way , I NEED SHD LEVELS

[flat forge]

didnt you already ask this before

[sour void]

Bank Armory.

[flat forge]

pretty sure i already answered you with nba farm or control points

[woeful solstice]

already doing that you said to me 4 levels in 3 mins crazy

[undone timber]

Cuz it is

[flat forge]

yea so thats already the best bro

[sour void]

Then continue doing it.

[woeful solstice]

@flat forge can you help me to get hat destiny 2 pistol 🙂

[undone timber]

In fact it's slightly more than that accounting for kill XP, about 5 per run, a good run is around 2 minutes

[flat forge]

youd have better luck askign in lfg and not me

just look for people hosting iron horse and join

or host yourself and find someone experienced to lead

[sour void]

classified missions should be repeatable

[ebon parrot]

where can i find a non-retard people to do retal?

[sour void]

you don't.

[ebon parrot]

i have no clue whats happening, cant complete a single retal last hour

everybody is dying, bro imagine dying in heroic PVE!!

[sour void]

But in all seriousness, check PC LFG. Otherwise, pray.

[woeful solstice]

trying but people only host dark horse i dont know why 🙂

[undone timber]

Just do it solo, simples

[ebon parrot]

and i dont run dps builds i wouldnt have the time

[feral knoll]

That's great stuff. Sounds like the drop rate is closer to being meaningful without being just a chore.

[drowsy pewter]

is it me or has "paradox" gotten nerfed

[sour void]

not running DPS builds

Well, therein lies the game design problem. You either go Striker or go home

[flat forge]

how

[undone timber]

Then get on DPS what are you doing lmao

[drowsy pewter]

When shooting my acs 12 it rarely refills 2 bulletes

[feral knoll]

Is that in the release notes? If not; then no.

[flat forge]

what percentage are you at

[ebon parrot]

i guess i'll have to yeah

[sour void]

1.5% base isn't exactly stellar to begin with

[flat forge]

remember this is all rng in the end

[ebon parrot]

in order for a high lvl shd player to die in heroic pve, it must require some cognitive problem IRL or something and i'm not even joking

[drowsy pewter]

but the shotguns shoot like a bunch of em, and before today's update it used to allow me to get 200 stacks with a stack broker and even have close to infinite ammo still lol

[tropic breach]

how nany keys are yall be satisfied at at some point?

[drowsy pewter]

something tells me it got nerfed to each time it shoots, not each bullet

[weary bison]

they will never be satified ever they will always want more

[feral knoll]

Abilities vary; tying behaviours to cognitive ability is probably not the way to go for an observation. Can people make mistakes? Yes. Do people not always learn? Yes, however that has nothing to do with 'cognitive problems'.

[ebon parrot]

u're right, its probably inbreeding

[feral knoll]

...

[feral knoll]

nice!

[undone timber]

#rules 11, let's not😭

[ebon parrot]

again for the last 1 hour everyone on my group died like 3 or 4 times meanwhile i was running the middle of them reviving everybody while watching some youtube video on my second monitor, "oh but you run a tank build" that's an excuse, they are inbreeds, thats factual

[undone timber]

If you're running a tank build I hate to break it to you but you are dead weight

[golden void]

are prototypes not able to be tinkered?

[ebon parrot]

its not a full tank one

its tempest with red cores basicly

[mighty creek]

I like how the enemies shoot at me anyway even though there are other players right infront of them.

[undone timber]

Not as of now no

[flat forge]

you can upgrade or change the augment but thats it

[undone timber]

Just how threat works

[mighty creek]

How the hell does threat works?

[small spear]

welcome to the DPS problem, you deal too much damage

[dreamy crescent]

higher damage = higher threat

[ebon parrot]

and they were not applying their "dps" they were just dying, lmao

[undone timber]

Suffering from success

[dreamy crescent]

thats why you need movement cover-to-cover tech and awareness when wearing full red dps builds.

[brazen elm]

that's why tanks suck for most content

[undone timber]

If you feel your teammates are ganking you, you can, again, always play solo

If you can't solo them then i wouldn't be so quick to judge and I certainly wouldn't be throwing around all these insults😭

[ebon parrot]

my statement was just one, not talking about optimal or non optimal builds

dying in heroic PVE means you are a mouthbreather or handicapped IRL, that's the only point

[feral knoll]

No; current update adds the same mission targeted loot as standard missions; once they are prototype, that's it.

[elder leaf]

How long will servers be down?

[feral knoll]

they arne't; individual servers can restart periodically, relog and you should be able to hop on fine.

[elder leaf]

Okay'

[fresh heron]

Five Nights of the Ronins

[undone timber]

Again, let's not

[flat forge]

cant even die in heroic without being called names 🥀

[brazen elm]

allat over a videogame damn

[dreamy crescent]

i mean, you can still get caught lacking in heroic. its just what it is. lmao i died alot just because its heroic, theres no need to sweat

legendary/escals/retaliations.. now if you get farmed in there, im gonna have some very not nice words for said individual

[floral ore]

it's funny because he can't run a normal dps build and solo it because of time according to his own words

[small spear]

albert wesker of division 2

[elder leaf]

And what if im not able to?

[brazen elm]

7 minutes

[surreal geyser]

Man got the infinite agent but my team was newbs i was doing all the damage lol why do they heal so much

[feral knoll]

Able to what? Restart the launcher, give it a couple minutes, try again.

[small spear]

7 minutes is all i can spare to watch you die in heroic

[dreamy crescent]

servers been having issues all day, just be patient if you can't get in within 0.2 seconds

[brazen elm]

overloaded from the event i would guess

[undone timber]

Complete global saturation (of NinjaBikes)

[dreamy crescent]

precisely, just how games are now and days, devs cant really take a body count on how overloaded servers get on big updates (so happens that alot of players are new and returning to div 2) so its a win/win in a way.

[flat forge]

suffering from success

[brazen elm]

you'd think they'd learn

[sullen viper]

had no server issues

might be a regional thing

[kind veldt]

there were a lot earlier today

[dreamy crescent]

im sure their taking notes of all the issues right now and will fix it/compensate players again.

[flat forge]

wishful thinking

[kind veldt]

earlier was the entire ubi system, not just the game

[sullen viper]

and what do you dream at night?

[floral ore]

1 exo comp as Recompense

[feral knoll]

Developer will be watching how the update behaves for sure, at least for the first 24-48 hours; if they need more compute to run up more servers, that isn't always instant.

[dreamy crescent]

👁️ 🫦 👁️ god forbid players dont clear the event Day 1 of the 3 week release RAHHHHHHHHHHHH

[sharp ginkgo]

why is the game so insanely laggy now

[brazen elm]

who said anything about that dawg we just wanna grind without crashing

[dreamy crescent]

ive crashed llike 6 times

[sharp ginkgo]

anytime i move my mouse the game has a stroke lmao

[edgy fable]

lower your mouse polling rate

[sharp ginkgo]

is polling dpi or what

[dreamy crescent]

apparently theres fixes for that (im just a console noob with no lag issues so what do i know) i just DC every few hours

[edgy fable]

No, polling rate. it's measured in hertz

[sharp ginkgo]

where do i locate this

[agile pendant]

whats the content list of gear boxes from the event?? just weapons ones

[toxic musk]

That was fun, finished off the last capture point and got a "Hello" from the event squad

[edgy fable]

4k. 2k. 1k. 500

[sharp ginkgo]

PC noob ish sorry i only knew ab dpi

[floral ore]

isnt there 8k aswell?

[edgy fable]

Check your mouse software

[sullen viper]

arent prototype pieces supposed to take max Attributes from normal pieces as a baseline?

[feral knoll]

refer the notes: #server-status message

[undone timber]

Yes

[edgy fable]

Yeah but it's rare and totally not necessary

[obsidian atlas]

there's nothing noob ish about not knowing mouse kpi, that's a technical issue

[kind veldt]

yes

[sullen viper]

they the game is bugged because im getring pieces on which that isnt the case

[dreamy crescent]

when you prototype them through the Proto workbench yes. if you get them as a raw drop, no.

[undone timber]

Post an image over in #ask-td2-community

[kind veldt]

can you share a screenshot on #ask-td2-community

[sullen viper]

ok nvm then its not bugged

[brazen elm]

the minimum of protos is the max for highends/gearsets

[dreamy crescent]

raw drop is a Chance to come Max stats.

[somber sierra]

was just changing the prototype talent and my game froze and now wont come on #

[feral knoll]

folks enable 8 khz polling because some internet person said it's great (yep definately a good idea to have the USB bus smashed with interrupts 8000 times a second for sure).

[kind veldt]

if you upgrade you get one max roll and RNG if the others are maxed out

[sullen viper]

thats crazy stupid

[undone timber]

Prototypes even at their worst will have max stats of a normal high end as a baseline

[kind veldt]

if it's a drop, it's always bigger than whatever is teh cap for HE but if it's the max or not is RNG

[undone timber]

Protos are therefore always an upgrade assuming you have the same rolls

[dreamy crescent]

just how it is, it would be wayyyyy to easy if players had god roll proto's dropping in tier 1 😄

[kind veldt]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1494320184180211842/1496321091466166472/image.png?ex=69e9751c&is=69e8239c&hm=3c365f139db9991189a136bfe6bfea15997810ce9146e1a0ff2eec4ee2279836&

this is a drop

all values are above HE

[feral knoll]

note that protoype won't peg all stats at max; it'll have one that's higher than the original piece, with semi-random rolls for the remaining stats.

[kind veldt]

but if they are max or not is complete random

ifit was via upgrade

[sullen viper]

no i mean that you can get a prototype pieces that doesent have all attributes better than the normal max

[kind veldt]

it was either 100% or nothing

[kind veldt]

you cant

[somber sierra]

i got a blossom prototype from cashe with 22.4 wd lol

[undone timber]

Not possible

[kind veldt]

well you shouldnt, someone did post one bugged piece with armor roll wrose than it should

once again

[shrewd cosmos]

I got a blossom prototype too. Accuracy though

[kind veldt]

can you post on #ask-td2-community the piece in question?

[somber sierra]

damage out of cover on bottom for me

[brazen elm]

got lucky with my proto bloom and got dtooc first try lmao

[sullen viper]

one moment

[sharp ginkgo]

ty found polling rate it was set to max

[somber sierra]

i was changing talent on blossom on protype and game dc now cant connect wtf ubisoft lol

got first sight also today from cashe

[dreamy crescent]

give it a bit, happend to me a few times. i just walked away and got some fresh air lmao

[sullen viper]

what a waste of time it is going for them then

[shrewd cosmos]

How many caches did you guys have to open for your prototype bloom?

[sullen viper]

i thought all pieces used the base max from the normal item

[undone timber]

They do

[feral knoll]

why? they are always better than the original. That does not mean all max rolled better.

[sullen viper]

no they dont

[sour void]

Welp, got my 4 copies of First Bloom time to go core farming tomorrow

[undone timber]

Again, post an image, it will be easier to tell

[kind veldt]

you can look at my image

and see that despite the bar being in the middle, all values are above the max for HE

[agile gyro]

Probably 50-60?...

[undone timber]

If you have proof otherwise that's great but as far as the game is concerned it isn't possible to get a proto piece with lower rolls than a high end

[polar thorn]

I need prototype tipping scale

[feral knoll]

post a screenshot of the exact example in #ask-td2-community but I think you should check the actual numeric percentages and not the bar, to make sure you're not assuming something. The range of the bar is higher than standard peices.

[kind veldt]

that RPK is the best, you have no idea

[sour void]

Gimme a prototype Quiet Roar massive

With all three slots maxed out

[polar thorn]

nah, just need prototype Tipping Scales and I can sleep forever.

[flat forge]

not him but someone sent this yesterday lol #ask-td2-community message

[sharp ginkgo]

yeah polling rate was the issue, i loaded in thinking wtf did i do to my system but it was just that

[flat forge]

hopefully it was visual

[undone timber]

I would imagine it has to be

[polar thorn]

Prototype Black Friday, take it or leave

[odd briar]

I just got jumped by two red Robin dudes... :/

[dreamy crescent]

yeah that guy has negative luck

[sour void]

I still think upgrading to prototype should make the core attribute 1.5x, with a 10% chance of a double, or 1% of a triple

[flat forge]

🤣

[kind veldt]

yeah that was the exception i mentioned

[sour void]

Could be lit, ngl

[feral knoll]

USB controller should offload from CPU, but a really high polling rate still hits the CPU, which can be enough to make a game feel a bit choppy.

[undone timber]

Unhinged is just cheeks unfortunately

[polar thorn]

Prototype GR9 would be dope.

[sour void]

Prototype named GR9 with extra mag capacity and Perfect Frenzy

[digital veldt]

Am I the only one who got disconnected from the servers?

[kind veldt]

entire ubi servers were down earlier, hard to say at the moment

[sour void]

Before, no, but the Uniform and Delta errors tapered off now

[kind veldt]

things are a lot better now so just try login in now

[cloud basin]

mine also DC'ed

[feral knoll]

Servers are likely being smashed by a bunch of people, might take a day or so to settle back to 'normal'.

[cloud basin]

gonna try relogging, if I can't imma play other game

[dreamy crescent]

it happens, just be patient and let the game breath before you spam the log in button 😛

[polar thorn]

Worth to gamble, but first.

SHD 1000 over everything.

[sour void]

inb4 we are the kill squads in retaliation, and the Ronins are actually hard-core players

[sullen viper]

i just checked its a visual bug but all pieces are better even tho the bar doesent represent that

[sour void]

SHD 2k, IMHO. 60k extra health is better than 30

[obsidian atlas]

ronins are weeboo pvp players

[kind veldt]

once again, power of reading triumphs all

[polar thorn]

this is pure torture.

[sullen viper]

triumph of ui working would be better 🥀 🥀 🥀

[sour void]

Ronin = players using Virtuoso

[brazen elm]

the new outfits look cool but it makes me feel like that white dude in a kimono

[polar thorn]

white dood.

[obsidian atlas]

man who put sushi in my american burger

[sour void]

Tell me about it. If it weren't for the NBA grind, I would have stapled my cheek on cement

[toxic musk]

God. I hate that I know EXACTLY what image you're talking about

[hybrid ore]

If it bothers you that much, make an Agent who doesn't look like Joey America.

[sullen viper]

i also thought they added a way to target farm prototype gear on specific missions?

[obsidian atlas]

or just, you know, always show mask

[sour void]

Nope. You're at the whims of the daily targeted loot for that mission.

[agile gyro]

I think this just repulsed me to a new level

[hybrid ore]

The assistant in Demolition Man is who I'm picturing.

[toxic musk]

I have 45 scavenging tokens (so far) prepared for next week. I'm going to get so many SHD Calibration

[obsidian atlas]

exactly

[polar thorn]

the extra 30k hp is NOT coming in clutch I will stop at 1000.

[toxic musk]

Peak film reference, but I was not thinking of that image

[kind veldt]

i like the reverse picture of teh japanese guy in cowboy outfit

[toxic musk]

Damn you, Rivens. Now I wanna watch Demolition Man

[brazen elm]

I mean i'm using an asian guy face but it still has that feel

[sour void]

That's fair - in any case, the scavenging levels will come in clutch for expertise and prototyping

[hybrid ore]

I promise you, that the Japanese people don't care if you use Japanese inspired cosmetics in a video-game.

[sour void]

Tangent; I think the kimono would make my Agent look like Azami, and that's not entirely a bad thing

[polar thorn]

Wait, does optimization event affect scavenging rewards too?

[wheat gull]

chat, what are the odds they roll back the servers

[toxic musk]

Probably low

[agile pendant]

man gotta admit first manhunt wony are still very cool

[kind veldt]

extremely unlikely

[polar thorn]

0.5%

[wheat gull]

hmm

[sour void]

Mmhmm! The double resource multiplier affects SHD scav points.

[toxic musk]

Me when I'm a Prototype drop

[dreamy crescent]

chaos would be in its wake

[wheat gull]

okay, ive been worrying for no reason lmao

[obsidian atlas]

like how they don't care if we care that they're cosplaying western stereotypes

[polar thorn]

holy

[hybrid ore]

Rollbacks can cause other issues, it's far easier to patch and warn players to not do it again.

[toxic musk]

Hence why I'm collecting every one I can

[agile gyro]

Which is precisely why being over lvl 1000 is a godsend.

[sour void]

Still salty that Massive took a mining drill to my mules

[agile pendant]

they can but they also had outage or issues earlier

[polar thorn]

Manny, the sakura keys are like 0.01% for me

[toxic musk]

Whom'st is Manny

[polar thorn]

the Ronins say gtfo and dip with my keys

[agile gyro]

Somebody I use to know...

[agile pendant]

what optimization event 👀

[kind veldt]

i just switched between, one escalation, one ambush squad

[toxic musk]

But you didn't have to cut me off

[agile gyro]

The one dropping on the 28th.

[wispy cliff]

Anyone else did all lantern locations but still got 39/40?

[polar thorn]

optimization surge or something like that

[sour void]

TBF, the 5x EXP are where the real money makers at

[kind veldt]

bad luck at first, it kinda got going later

[sullen viper]

i had so many keys i think i could have finished the event alone

[agile gyro]

😭

[polar thorn]

I'm already enjoying myself with 3x, 5x would be straight up heaven.

[bold sun]

Hello. is it viable for a new player to reach level 40 and buy the event cosmetics before the event ends?

[toxic musk]

Until you forget to open your caches

[sour void]

We're killing so many Ronins that we're not giving them a chance to extract w/ loot

[hybrid ore]

You've got 3 weeks, you'll be fine.

[polar thorn]

how many squads you killed

[sour void]

It will happen soon™

[sullen viper]

500 ronins

[agile gyro]

So this is where everyone's ronins went

[toxic musk]

The highly ambitious sequel to the Keanu Reeves film 99 Ronins

[sour void]

499 ronins stapled to the wall, 499 ronins to go...

[toxic musk]

Whatever, I cast Bluescreen OD

[agile gyro]

Whys your name still RexPowerColter, you could do something way more with your ronin killing streak.

[sullen viper]

because peak fc game

[toxic musk]

Ohhhh. Blood Dragon

[sour void]

I cast Achilles Regulus

[toxic musk]

They cast 250 drones

[agile gyro]

Division 2 if it was a turn based game:

[polar thorn]

😭 the only thing everyone needs are the damn expertise event but that might be another month.

[toxic musk]

Hehe

[sullen viper]

true

[sour void]

I cast Blackout Pulse (go f yourself, spammy tier 6 ronin)

[agile gyro]

Bro please, it took me like 3 days to go from 25>26 without the event

[polar thorn]

aint like ronins are immune to cc effects?

[toxic musk]

Isn't there also the seasonal modifier, too?
Or is that the seasonal modifier and I'm just REAL dense

[agile gyro]

The one dude is, not the other iirc.

[sour void]

That's massive's playbook; stringing everyone along

[toxic musk]

Fox isn't immune, Red is

[agile gyro]

that is the modifier lol

[sour void]

Yeah, it's the seasonal modifier

[polar thorn]

IM STILL STUCK AT 17 I'm gonna grind countdown after this event is gone

[toxic musk]

I see. At least I figured it out? Kinda

[agile gyro]

I cant complain too much since I went from 4 > 25 during the event but damn

[sullen viper]

bro got 500 fillament filled ronins that came his way

[sour void]

still think it's scummy that gear needs to be EX30 for prototyp

[amber kayak]

i fell off of playing right before the event started and i dont really know much about it yet but i heard lex is in the lootpool for it
how grindable is it for that

[snow nimbus]

Can someone tell me which talent is best to use on Lexington in the Striker/Compensator/Favorites build?

[toxic musk]

Evil Ronins be like: shows up to work

[agile gyro]

I wouldnt even say scummy, but they need to make the expertise grind more tolerable without any boosts.

[sour void]

at least drop 45 exo comps per PT dismantle

[snow nimbus]

Can someone tell me which talent is best to use on Lexington in the Striker/Compensator/Favorites build?

[agile pendant]

event is super based went from 22 to 30 in 2 days i think

[toxic musk]

Maybe 5-10. I'd say

[polar thorn]

Killer talent.

[sullen viper]

atleast the ronins dont have chainsaws and run faster than other melee enemies

[amber kayak]

if it refunded 4/5ths of the mats spent if it was one you converted yourself

[toxic musk]

Unless it was one you crafted yourself

[agile gyro]

Until you get the event kill squad and you got a whole 6 foot man charging you with a sledge hammer and none of your team sees him.

[toxic musk]

I'm a fan of targeting the beefy ones and watching the rest of their gang fall due to the health share mechanic

[sour void]

5 would actually make me play Escalation. And yeah, I should be refunded mats if a roll goes bad

[feral knoll]

This; although it's a toss up between the Elite Patrols skating across the map that can outrun quickstep and the chainsaw bros carring 200 lbs of armour and a chainsaw being able to outrun Usain Bolt, as to which is worse.

[sour void]

I'd settle for that.

[toxic musk]

I know they're criminals and that the world is ruined, but sign those guys up to the Olympics

If they can run like that WITH all that stuff. Imagine them without it

[amber kayak]

itd kinda trivialize it if it was a full refund, and ESPECIALLY if it was from a dropped proto

[sullen viper]

what if they add like sprint speed tank track turrets?

[sour void]

Main reason why I petitioned for magnet accelerators to be installed on all weapons we use so we can send them back to hell

[turbid hatch]

so how does one find a ronin?

[feral knoll]

the game cannot know if a roll is "bad" because there is no such thing; there is just a roll and a result. Your approval of that roll isn't something the game can automatically detect or even consider.

[sour void]

Warhound but with a Lazer turret

[agile pendant]

is bitter sweet better than doc home??

[sour void]

5 cores if dropped, 36 if crafted

[toxic musk]

Warhound but it can do a big jump

[sullen viper]

you need to go back in time around the edo period 1650

[toxic musk]

What do I do when I'm there?

[sullen viper]

500 ronins

[hybrid ore]

Or watch a movie with Keanu Reeves, there's 47 of them there.

[sour void]

What I mean to say that if I feel as if the game screwed me over, I feel like I should be able to recoup some mats through deconstruction so that I can try again with a new piece

[feral knoll]

Prototype are supposed to be a long term thing; if it showered endless god rolls then it just ups the base damage people do within a matter of days and we're right back to square one of people complaining about nothing to do and being OP.

[toxic musk]

Should I show them the almighty invention Promiscuous by Artist who's name I've forgotten
Something with an N?

[turbid hatch]

I mean in division 2

[toxic musk]

Damn it, I thought it was 99 Ronins

[agile pendant]

poor ronin getting farmed by div 2 players right

[agile gyro]

Either that or the player is getting farmed by the ronins

[agile pendant]

life of a ronin, spawn to get a drop on 'players' but get farmed, rinse and repeat

[turbid hatch]

or whatever they're called in game

[feral knoll]

Many Ronin died, to bring you these caches.

[amber kayak]

my personal thing about it is
its so insurmountable of a grind that im better off just ignoring it altogether
which functionally didnt change anything, we're back at square one anyway

[agile gyro]

Well can I thank whatever one died to get me this horned oni mask? because it looks awesome.

[sullen viper]

the ronins brought dull guns because they hurt more

[sour void]

POV: you tangled with people who play Paradise Lost for breakfast

[toxic musk]

NELLY FURTADO

[agile pendant]

the only ronin i want is rogue company one 🥵 😍

[agile gyro]

who? 😭

[toxic musk]

Oh my god. Have we reached the point where people haven't heard Promiscuous?

[feral knoll]

What a life; suddenly exist as a mortal, be shoved out a door or manhole cover, be attacked and die, to be consumed once again in the in-between, then suddenly alive again to do it all over. Awesome.

[graceful dove]

Is there a list of where the decorations are yet?

[agile gyro]

Unfortunately you have.

[toxic musk]

Ugh, is this what it's like to feel old?

I hate people born after 2006

[sour void]

Groundhog day is a b!#$%.

[agile gyro]

DMs.

[agile pendant]

man i haven't done a incur run in a while, took few tries to do perfect run for the wright mask lol

[sullen viper]

rip weeb cosplayers in washington dc

[turbid hatch]

instructions unclear

[toxic musk]

The troubling choice of wanting to wear the Operator Cap because I earned it or the BTSU Cap because it kinda fits better

[amber kayak]

i think i heard absolutely nothing, is it stupid simple to explain or am i going to have to go to the horrifying world of new youtube videos of a game update

[sour void]

Feel like I might have got the Wright mask by accident in a run last week

[sour void]

Stupid simple. I won't say anything here.

[agile gyro]

It's forbidden, don't talk about it here. It goes against rule #6.

People were being warned left and right for even mentioning it earlier.

[amber kayak]

oh so i guess that is a rule

[sullen viper]

utube

[amber kayak]

terrifying

[feral knoll]

Noting that such things tend to get patched out, so would not get comfortable with it remaining.

[agile pendant]

i got utoob premium bypass the ads

[amber kayak]

idk about you but i cannot stand most youtubers for games

[cloud basin]

gotta say, the stat rolls from the sakura caches are great. I got a lexington with full stats and full DTooC, and about 5 Caretaker with those same stats

[hybrid ore]

Lex actually always comes pre-godrolled, but glad you're having fun!

[sour void]

DTOC comes standard with both.

[cloud basin]

oooh, no wonder

[sour void]

They shred regardless.

[agile pendant]

oh so its coded that way huh damn

[agile gyro]

Honestly for most division content I stick to rogue gold or nothingbutskillz

[hybrid ore]

Think of it as a pre-packaged gun so people have to farm less.

[feral knoll]

Perhaps I will finally get a lexington. Or not. Who is to say.

[hybrid ore]

Did you lose a bet?

[sullen viper]

whats a good lexington perk to get?

[fossil lotus]

I got a prototype new gun is it even good

[sour void]

mrbossftw, or mrtossforthebin

[agile pendant]

they drop like candy bro i got like 4 in a row lol

[agile gyro]

Nah I just existed

[feral knoll]

outstanding.

[amber kayak]

admitting who you watch always feels like you just admitted to a crime every time

[agile gyro]

Not saying I don’t watch other YouTubers but I stick to a few lol

[fossil lotus]

I got a prototype new gun is it even good

[hybrid ore]

No hate on any in particular, but let's just say that many div2 youtubers are not exactly known for their accuracy.

Or fashion choices.

[amber kayak]

this is literally every game lmao

[agile gyro]

Which is precisely why I don’t trust everything coming from them

[sullen viper]

skeleton raincoat

[amber kayak]

i actively have to fight youtuber misinformation campaigns for darktide

[agile gyro]

I just watch for the content a good majority of the time

[feral knoll]

Yeah look I switch off every time there is an event of any sort and "here's how to farm print materials" video get's another trundle out given that approximatly 98% of the time it's an irrelevant farm.

[agile gyro]

Isn't this guy hated by basically every division yter? lol

[hybrid ore]

Grendyl thanks you for your service.

[toxic musk]

Huh. I wonder what word in the last two messages I tried sending made the automod? So mad

[agile gyro]

All seriousness if I'm watching a YTer for information about something, I usually cross reference them somehow someway 💀

[toxic musk]

God. Darktide was so fun when I played it

[hybrid ore]

You forgot the R in streamers.

[amber kayak]

i playtest the game then turn around and see the largest youtuber say something blatantly wrong to tens of thousands of people 😭😭😭

[toxic musk]

I blame my cat who is lying on me

[feral knoll]

CAT! cat cat cat cat.

[sour void]

Kot

[hybrid ore]

What a little sinker.
T. :p

[sour void]

pets the cat

[toxic musk]

THAT'S WHAT'S SETTING IT OFF??

[agile gyro]

Bros experiencing the wrath of the automod

[hybrid ore]

I would avoid testing it, the auto-mod has ban powers.

[feral knoll]

autobot, roll out.

[sullen viper]

automods roll out

[toxic musk]

Is there a lore reason why that word is banned?

[hybrid ore]

.......I'll tell you when you're older.

[toxic musk]

Actually. Ignorance is bliss and I am elated

[feral knoll]

Some things are best left unleared, as to learn them leads to wanting to return to the state of unlearned.

[toxic musk]

All I said was "Manny Ortega puts milk in before cereal" geez

[polar thorn]

God damn it, Manny.

[agile gyro]

Bro seems to know a lot about manny for someone who doesn't know who he is

[feral knoll]

Manny, for the love of.

[agile pendant]

take us to chuck e cheeses riven dad

[sullen viper]

many ronins...wish death upon me

[hybrid ore]

Swing and a miss.

[toxic musk]

It's a Manny who goes to a different White House

[agile gyro]

Giving me flashbacks to getting lost in those big tubes that you climb up into

[sour void]

Oh bleary me...

[agile pendant]

their pizza was good always

[agile gyro]

I was never the smartest child, what can I say 🤷

[toxic musk]

Charleston Entertainment Cheese is not a real place, surely

[sour void]

The same toobs that probably reeked of chemicals and well, other stuff

[agile gyro]

I dont even remember what it tastes like, I havent been there in well over a decade.

[feral knoll]

a series of toobs.

[brazen elm]

Manny Ortega likes pineapple on pizza

[agile gyro]

Execute him.

[edgy fable]

Me too

[feral knoll]

That explains far more than it should.

[sullen viper]

so ronins are by definition rogue agents in a sense

[toxic musk]

Execute them

[agile gyro]

Put this guy in line behind him aswell.

[hybrid ore]

If americans did it right, a lot more of you would like it on pizza too, just saying.

[sour void]

breaks out V2

[edgy fable]

While I'm eating a slice of ham pizza with pineapple on it, sure

[agile gyro]

I got beef with my local pizza places 🤷

[sullen viper]

Toast hawaii ahhh

[toxic musk]

Yeah? Beef is a topping

[edgy fable]

Das geht immer 👍

[feral knoll]

Begun, has the pizza war.

[agile gyro]

These rats give me extremely thin pizza when I say I want thick
Then they cremate it so it's completely black on the bottom and extremely crunchy
then it has enough grease to give a perfectly healthy person a heart attack.

As I said, I have beef with my pizza places near me.

[sour void]

Next you're gonna tell me you're adding anchovies

[sullen viper]

Broccoli

[toxic musk]

I'd try anchovies on pizza out of a place of pure curiosity tbh

[brazen elm]

Putting pineapple on pizza activates rogue protocols
