Not if you've already escalated it

brave idol
#

correct

flat forge
#

but you can freely leave and join through invites

silent light
#

This isnt me arguing.. but isnt there an argument for clearing easier escas faster, rather than waiting to fill up a group that you may or may not finish successfully.

frigid merlin
#

T5 always

edgy fable
#

IF the group even fills up

kind veldt
#

i will become the paradox king

brave idol
#

but when you men lose some difficulty must be going down because we finished stranded tanker 2 person at t5 including arogue encounter

fluid meadow
flat forge
#

has anyone here tried nego in t10 yet

fluid meadow
#

+paradox with iron lung is super duper mega omega good

tender wave
#

2 or 3-player often easier than 4 because enemy health scaling takes a big jump up

fleet prism
#

god forbid yall get rogues at T10 its 9 times out of 10 a wipe lol

fluid meadow
#

Because you'll stack up your fire rounds and paradox will keep those fire rounds up for way longer

#

Is t10 with 2 people feasible?

fluid meadow
fleet prism
#

yes

flat forge
umbral dock
#

it will probably not be fun but it’s feasible

kind veldt
silent light
#

That might be the way to do it then.. increased loot drop.. less enemies.. reliable pre-made.

kind veldt
#

there is a big gap between each scalling in group sizes

#

it's hilarious how fast things die with 3 people compared to 4

frigid merlin
#

2 man is actually quite easy for some reason

fluid meadow
#

I just can't accept playing with less than 4 cause that means less ads and less ads = less proto

brave idol
umbral dock
#

they’re using monster hunter math

fluid meadow
#

UNLESS you can clear 3 player way faster than 4 player i'm just sticking with a 4 stack

tender wave
#

But less adds + less hp on the adds= faster clears

brave idol
#

what i was trying to say was if people leave in game difficulty adjusts at the next encounter

#

so no need to matchmake

frigid merlin
#

Is it true you can't kick people in escalations

fluid meadow
#

Basically yeah so on the long run if your ad kills per min are faster on 3 than 4 then yeah go for it

umbral dock
#

simple math of valuing more drops more run or more drops per hour

kind veldt
#

i think they adjust mid fight for the next spawn wave at least

brave idol
#

possible

undone timber
frigid merlin
tender wave
#

Faster runs also means more tokens

fluid meadow
#

Imo tokens are eh
If you have enough to start a T10 that should be good enough

undone timber
#

Been hard stuck at 999 a while

brave idol
#

90 for t10 right?

fluid meadow
#

If only there was a sink for esc tokens

tender wave
#

I'd be inclined to agree but the livestream mentioned adding another use for tokens later (I think later this season but not 100% sure on that)

fluid meadow
#

Aren't the tokens resetting by the end of season?

umbral dock
#

maybe they let us donate for expertise

that would be really nice catchup

tender wave
#

They did say that too, so maybe it'll be some kind of stretch goals thing for everyone to dump their excess tokens before the season ends

fluid meadow
#

I really hope that
That textile sink for danny needs to expand a little too imo i think a lot of people have enough for his stock for years to come

kind veldt
#

tokens to either buy mats or bypass some proto grind i assume

edgy fable
umbral dock
#

ah nevermind yeah it is 100% going to be a token cache that drops 1 high end and maybe a named

kind veldt
#

well it might let you upgrade stuff using tokens instead of mats

flat forge
fluid meadow
#

Proto caches might be a huge idea I don't know why they haven't added that yet
But it could be a really good token sink

brave idol
kind veldt
#

well protos on event caches already was a surprise to me

How to run Manning National Zoo in Legendary difficulty? I only have until heroic 🙁

brave idol
kind veldt
#

are you selecting the regular version?

tender wave
#

Might need to toggle mission mode to get the right version

hallow ether
#

I only have 2 mission options. 1 is the story mission which only has story difficutly, then the other one is I think the regular one having normal, hard, challenging, and heroic difficulty.

tender wave
#

Need to complete the story one on story difficulty to unlock the higher difficulties

brave idol
#

legendary should appear under heroic as an option

I have completed the story difficulty yesterday, and when I went back to the entrance of the Manning National Zoo, nothing happened

The one with normal-heroic difficulty is likely the Mari manhunt version

All the off-site missions like zoo, pentagon, Coney Island etc have to be run on story difficulty once to unlock the other difficulties

btw ubisoft team quote "We are aware that "Core Strength"-Gear Set items are currently not dropping in Prototype quality when running the "Bank Headquarters"-mission in Escalation Mode and are planning to fix this with the Title Update Y8S1.2."

Hello fellow agents!
I am here cause I need a bit of a help from anyone who knows the issue. So I downloaded the game again after long break, around 1 month ago. Since then I can not use chat in game. I already tried all kind of solution known to google. Turned on and off options in the game, verifying files, reinstallation of the game. Nothing works. I see in game it says that apparently I can chat but nobody is replying and i cant see anyone typing. I can see global chat but nothing in a group 🙁 Any ideas?

do you guys think they will add Prototype gear drops to retaliation?

why should they?

they should do whatever they think is right ofc, just wishful thinking from my side because i prefere grinding gear in retaliation over missions

LFG- Playstation my GT is Radmason66 I am new and I have all the dlcs I have been playing for awhile and need help finding good gear whenever you guys get the time add me with a message “Division2” thank you!!!

brave idol
#

plus retal is already full of people who have noc clue what to do, no need to increae the populatio

wind falcon
lunar hare
#

they think that just because it's Prototype you don't have to care about the building basics 🤦‍♂️

#

I'm pissed at these content creators and selfish people telling them newbies to farm Prototype

brave idol
#

that was inevitable. accept it or not that is the new endgame and people will want it.

#

make prototype usable only in escalations if you want to prevent it

#

no one needs it outisde of escalations you say. then use in only there

wind falcon
#

its more about ppl themselfs then, acting like bosses because having protogear and complaining about the rest when always dying on legendary 😄

silver eagle
#

so Bank does not give any protos today, right?

limber girder
#

it does give you protos, just not any that would be the targeted loot ones. I got like 2 protos for one hole run which were both weapons.
so not really worth it to run rn

Ok so in the summit when you open the map you can see “Challenges” directly left of “All”

iirc capacitor should be a reward for “Challenge Reward 5” which needs you to do any 5 Tactical and/or Ascent challenges. Pretty easy

Is it a known issue that even though I queue for Retaliation matchmaking, it sometimes automatically switches to Random Call for Backup?
At first I thought it was my mistake, but when hardly anyone joins and I check the Matchmake tab, it’s almost always switched to Random Call for Backup. If I cancel once and start matchmaking for Retaliation again, people join almost immediately.
I’m not completely sure, but it seems like this issue happens when I become the team leader.

# hushed arch Is it a known issue that even though I queue for Retaliation matchmaking, it som...

Yes, I was able to reproduce the issue.

  1. Start a Retaliation match.
  2. Become a Team Leader.
  3. The matchmaking automatically switches to Random Call for Backup

If you just sit around waiting for matchmaking, hardly anyone will join, and even if they do, they’re likely inexperienced players who aren’t here to play Retaliation.
The only workaround is to check the matchmaking tab and switch it yourself once you become the team leader.
Thank you, Massive

might try that, but also still look for other stuff too

quick coyote
# glacial shell i’m guessing people would still drop me exotics if they see i’m on a new account...

I wanted to reply because this came up in a chat with a clanmate yesterday. It used to be that if you were already geared up, running something like Summit with randoms, and saw someone was new/undergeared, you would drop them whatever good stuff dropped for you - exotics, well rolled gear, maxed mods etc.... Sadly, an unintended consequence of the new prototype upgrade system is that that is unlikely to happen anymore at least in the short term. Why? Exotic components are the new 'bottleneck' to upgrade your gear - to upgrade (prototype) a weapon/gear piece you need 45 exotics per piece, meaning people break exotics down for components instead of sharing them. I doubt the devs will change that by allowing people to choose targeted loot in escalations because it would remove the grind.

What I'd suggest, if you want a good chance of getting the exotic you're after, is to go farm countdown on heroic difficulty. Not for the exotic drops inside of countdown, they're rare. I farmed for 45 exotic components in countdown yesterday and got maybe 3 actual exotic drops. Countdown runs give you credits which you can spend on exotic caches (a random guraranteed exotic) at the countdown vendor. An exotic cache costs 224 countdown credits. A 'good' heroic run gets you around 208. So that's just about 1 exotic cache/guranteed exotic every run/every 15 minutes.

Which manhunt drops Blacklisters?

how much you did exactly its hard to tell

Hmm. But I didn’t have the little star above my number as having the most like I did with kills

#

And then the whole team damage thing sort of throws me off.

flat forge
#

well did someone get above 30 mil on the stat screen

#

actualy idek if the stat screen tracks how many times the damage loops around

forest talon
#

Yeah they had a lot. Which is what confused me like how did I have the most kills but did the least damage lol

flat forge
#

chances are if you had the most kilLs by a huge margin and you felt like you did the most, you probably did the most

#

it just wont be reflected well on stats screen

limber girder
#

it does seem to track it, I just had the star with -2075M while the other 2 hat positive 1510M and 2134M

forest talon
#

Ahh ok. I mean two of the dudes were in the 10kshd level and were running all over the place while I mostly stayed back and played it safe.

hybrid ore
#

The person with a star on their stat has the "most" of that stat.

#

Damage being negative just loops around, the higher you go with Tiers, the more you'll see it happen.

vague mesa
#

which is a fancy way of saying Ubisoft did not plan for the damage output players would achieve

forest talon
#

I guess. Like I said it’s confusing because it only said 30 mil so maybe we all looped around then. I just had a pretty big gap in number of kills so I was like did I even do anything? I’m not even 1000 but I do have a fully optimized striker build and my crit is at 54.5% and my chd is 128

limber girder
#

which is interesting though because it would let us believe that internally it is actually tracking the damage number with an i64 and just displays it via i32. But that bug is probably so low on the prio list it will never get fixed 😅

I need to look up that yee yee striker build since I got a few pieces today while exploring, some with pretty good rolls

I regularly run the striker+equa+overdogs in pub T5 escals and almost always get the most damage and if not the most, 2nd most kills.

Maybe in development of Div 3 they will try to address this issue but I'm not sure they will start changing dmg formulas or giving huge changes in value to certain blue attributes and/or giving healers even more in their kit. They might feel Striker being the best is just fine for the game as the game has grown despite its "gear issues"

I am not sure if you are aware, but typically when a bullet passes through a thing that is alive, the alive thing leaks the fluid that sustains it, which is otherwise known as bleeding. There are also status affects caused by a shotgun, for example, in the form of potential for infection.

Whilst the game has some contrivances, they aren't actually make-believe and stem from real world things. This was a response to the "just remove the not bullet specific damage" thing.

ayoo another title update on May 12, nice; I am not used to the pace of fixes for the game, the developer kinda went more or less an entire year at one point without doing a whole lot in that department.

Does anyone notice, how prototype augment percent are counting? I have everywhere double damage, and together have to be 18℅, but in stats it shows 16.2℅. And its always change by him self, even im not switching items. Thats somekinda visual thing?
And if im looking on stats, where is that double damage(Echo) its found on 7 pcs, but i have on all 9. There is limit?

jagged shell
#

Your non equipped weapons don't count towards augment stacking

fossil patrol
#

Okey, i think i get it. So he is only counting one gun, that who you are using + 6 gear items

#

So max echo dmg chance what you can get, is 21%

Correct

Refactor not so much as its a blue core but if you have 3/4 proto refactors you can run some blue cores

they should make a mode called Escalation where you can like, play harder versions of missions to farm for prototype gear

I think it's really funny that it spawns kitsune's whenever you finish your retaliation, so you just have like 30 seconds to bum rush them and try to get some keys before the game rips you away
