[blissful bridge]

I helped him out 🙂👍

[wanton gyro]

tyvm

[azure lintel]

just killed the first ivory key guy and then opened the hyena's box in the building and got the loaded canister exotic part haha

also dropped 5 exotics tonight on f5

[blissful bridge]

No problem :) @wanton gyro bless your luck in getting it soon!

[blissful bridge]

Nicee

[azure lintel]

lucky asf

[blissful bridge]

For real man that is some crazy luck

[azure lintel]

How do you do the camp white oak mission on hard?

[tender wave]

fast travel to the mission, set difficulty to 'hard', run through the mission

hunters fury with chatterbox or lady death is an effective build

[azure lintel]

I only get story and I have done that several times

Only way for me to choose hard is through the manhunt

[tender wave]

you mean the other difficulty options are greyed out?

what world difficulty are you on?

[azure lintel]

Not greyed out at all

They are not there at all

[tender wave]

can you select the difficulty on other missions?

[azure lintel]

On the manhunt version

But I get no timer from it

[tender wave]

yeah, manhunt version won't work

[molten spire]

wait, so you have played through story White Oak but can't get the other difficulties to unlock?

[azure lintel]

Correct

I just did a run of the story now and nothing unlocked

[tender wave]

weird, can't think of any reason that would be

maybe get a video of it and report to ubisoft support

in the meantime, you could find someone else to run it with, do it in their world

[azure lintel]

Might as well

[tender wave]

I find when there's a league on if you just matchmake for 'random main mission' at Hard difficulty, you've got a very good chance of landing the league missions

[azure lintel]

I'll try and do that if I can

If not, F me

[vapid light]

Has the summit floor 10 xp farm been patched or nerfed at all ?

[proper slate]

I get the feeling the apparel event is just assets from NPCs that have their colors changed...

[fleet pewter]

Yo I just got da trashbag mask
This event bussin frfr

[split sail]

It does look like a trashbag lmao

[blazing citrus]

sup fellas anyone in this cord know anyone who is willing to look over my stuff and give me any direction? ( if there is anything i should even be focusing on?) im new only been playing for about a week. anything helps. thanks in advance

[azure lintel]

just focus on getting to level 30 first

discover the mechanics and the map and how different guns work and which skills work for you

[blazing citrus]

im shd level 32.. if thats what you mean

[azure lintel]

oh yeah I thought you meant you were brand new haha

"I've only been playing for a week'

[blazing citrus]

na, i just went in the DZ yesterday and got violated..... so obviously not ready for that. barely hurting people

[blazing citrus]

basically, like idk whats good gear, skills, rolls, stuff like that. idk what is considered a good gun. lots of stuff in this game

i come from tarkov

[azure lintel]

I could never get into tarkov

[blazing citrus]

lol not for everyone. point is im willing to grind, just looking for some direction on what to focus on doing. if thats a thing or if i should just do everything in no specific order

[vestal vale]

dont worrie about gear tell you hit lvl 40

[blazing citrus]

i am level 40. im working on my shd level now

unless thats what you mean

[azure lintel]

I'd say get some weapons that are from D.C. and that do decent damage and then go to level 10 in summit and get some good players to help you farm

there you can level up quickly as well as being able to target the loot that you receive

[split sail]

Do you have any builds yet?

[azure lintel]

he probably doesn't

[blazing citrus]

ok gotcha. i appreciate it. and lexi i honestly dont know really what that means ive literally just been playing nonstop pve and just leveling up.

[blazing citrus]

prolly not

[split sail]

So the easiest build to start out with would be a all red DPS build. If you go into #td2-build-advice under the pinned section the second post people have posted their builds. It might help give a sort of direction and you can take a look at the variety. Also figure out your play style is another thing.

[vestal vale]

countdown will give you more loot then the summit will you may have to have some what of a buiuld for count down

[fervent berry]

You have to focus which playstyle you want first. Long range, up close and personal, run and gun, skill builds, etc

[split sail]

^^ agreed

[fervent berry]

Div PvP is not like Tarkov 😂

It's more fast paced

[split sail]

lol

[fervent berry]

And you have to use cover all the time if you wanna sustain

[split sail]

There are people coming out with different builds all the time, also YT is good resource for build videos.

[azure lintel]

a good person to watch for builds is nothingbutskills

[fervent berry]

Oh god, YouTube vids are hits and misses

[split sail]

Depends on who made the video lol

[blazing citrus]

i learned that yesterday. i was just frustrated cuz i clearly shoot someone way more and they still shred me. but i get what yall are saying. thanks

[fervent berry]

If you go to #td2-build-advice, there is a pinned document/link to a Google spreadsheet that has builds to suggest

[blazing citrus]

but to give you an idea i like to run and gun and wall bounce between cover. and ok ill check it out. thanks alot

[fervent berry]

Run and gun? You could try a Hunter's Fury build. Very good starter

[blazing citrus]

ok ill look it up. thank you @fervent berry

[vestal vale]

heartbreaker is a good one to

[fervent berry]

They're entertaining, and I'm not saying those vids are useless. But some of those builds are, uh, not exactly ideal or practical for many players

[still granite]

ohh lots of them...
dilema with armor on kill, 2 different self healing dps
HF with chest and backpack
chameleon close range with memento
dps with skill (stinger hive and drone)
lmg with entrench, concussion, 2 skill tier, bait and defender drone
etc etc

[jade knoll]

Servers down for anyone else?

[left field]

yep, seems like discord is not having a great time either

[nimble ibex]

its down for me also hi john

[left field]

what's good dude

[jade knoll]

Okay so it's not just a Sony issue either hopefully they sort it soon.

[nimble ibex]

servers are down i can level up it sucks my only time of play is now

[fervent berry]

I can't confirm at the moment on Xbox, but I'm curious if things are down for that console too

[jade knoll]

I know they said they have a fix for the expertise skill bug so it could be them implementing that 🤷‍♂️

[fervent berry]

The servers will shut down for maintenance tomorrow Thursday, 9th June at 09:30 CEST, 03:30 AM EDT, 12:30 AM PDT.
There's meant to be downtime on Thursday morning but I don't think it should be this early 😂

[fleet pewter]

Why does the dread edict lack a scope and still have zoom

[azure lintel]

Yeah, it should not have zoom and fit like a glove in my gamer builds

[steep rapids]

I don’t have nemesis yet. If someone picks one up and drops it, can I see it?

[main jungle]

anyone having issues with Ubisoft Connect Chat friends list being so broke?

[fleet pewter]

No, that is not how that works

[peak crypt]

Dread comes with an advanced contact lense that is a scope

[wraith current]

I was wondering that as well about the Dread lol

Also has anyone been having a texture bug where some enemies guns are just messed up colored squares? Same with the one guard at the white house lol

[warped sandal]

Lmao yeah same, mostly just a visual glitch so i guess its harmless

At first i thought it was a cool skin, then i saw the texture on an object and pieced it together

[lucid tusk]

I dont understand out of all the exotics I keep getting the same ONE that I own....

In the caches...

Does it duplicate the one that I'm currently wearing?

[reef reef]

no

you are just unlucky

[lucid tusk]

Very unlucky

This is the 4th one I've opened

I have 5 vile masks

Well I guess that's refreshing for a second there I legit thought it just duplicated the one i had on

[fading orchid]

i've seen some people with the front baseball cap with the division logo on it, anyone know how to get this?

[tight ermine]

It was an old Twitch Drop if I'm not mistaken.

[fading orchid]

sad face, thx.

[fleet pewter]

Wait I have it and i literally never use twitch, is there two baseball caps with SHD logos?

[tight ermine]

There could be one from the apparel caches I don't remember about. See if there's any that drop from that.

[reef reef]

@wanton gyro Please use the correct chat for LFG requests.

[wanton gyro]

my b i clicked the wrong channel

thought i was already in lfg

[azure lintel]

I'm back after sometime, and i just recovered my ubisoft account along with the game

only issue, the russian who stole/hacked my account deleted my character lol
he probably sold it or just stole it for himself...who knows, i still got my account back and i'm ready to grind again

[reef reef]

Check in with support. They may be able to restore your character.

[azure lintel]

Ubisoft Support? can they do something about deleted characters?

[loud oyster]

Is lady death in general loot pool

[merry coral]

So I'm playing around with a negotiator's dilemma build atm

[eternal bridge]

what weapons?

[merry coral]

AR/SMG

I already have a build set up for it, this is mostly just for fun

[eternal bridge]

word. nice combo

[tropic patrol]

Whats the best way to level my expertise

[eternal bridge]

think i have most of the gearset builds I want. Negotiators and Ongoing are fun to experiment with. I have an all Yellow and all Red Eclipse build as well

[merry coral]

I have a Future Initiative healer build I put together last night that is one hell of a healing rate

Like it instantly restores most people's armor of 750k

[eternal bridge]

Thats one im still tryring to perfect, but im mostly run and gun with a 180% crit dmg GC build. blows through everything on Heroic like a buzzsaw

[azure lintel]

are division 2 servers down atm?

[loud oyster]

Is lady death smg in general loot pool

[eternal bridge]

have you unlocked it yet?

[azure lintel]

Yes

I got one yesterday in countdown

[loud oyster]

No

[eternal bridge]

Then its not in your general loot pool yet

[loud oyster]

How do I get it then

[eternal bridge]

I can help you farm though

[loud oyster]

I’m on ps4

[eternal bridge]

Theres a special spot in NY that you can farm for it. One sec Ill get a screenshot

[wet igloo]

Wrong

[eternal bridge]

Did i miss something. When did they change it?

[wet igloo]

Idk but they did

[azure lintel]

I can't recall ever getting it before just recently

I mean, I know I didn't accidentally dismantle one while leveling in WONY or something because back then I treasured the living crap out of exotics

[eternal bridge]

Well you guys are lucky. that was biotch of a grind

[azure lintel]

How do we even get it "legit", so to speak?

[signal crypt]

What’s the easiest legendary mission

[eternal bridge]

Theres a spot in NY that you can farm for a named enemy

Thats what i did back in the day

[wet igloo]

None???

[eternal bridge]

I was thinking the same thing lol. there isnt one

[oak plank]

Anyone having issues with Fairview Crew and obtaining keys or the Cache?

[signal crypt]

I mean like to get through

Put aside the enemy’s

[eternal bridge]

I prefer DUA. Imo

[signal crypt]

Gotcha

[eternal bridge]

I run no shield for any content so Legend Solo aint my forte

[hallow marsh]

can someone help me and my friend

[reef reef]

whats up

[hallow marsh]

well i’m a level 7

and idk how to level quick

[reef reef]

Just keep going through the missions.

[hallow marsh]

bet

[stone wind]

Aaaaand... crash

[eternal bridge]

anybody have the formula for calculating dmg right off hand? i cant find it in my collection of Div stuff

[timber hatch]

Damage calc:
Base Bullet damage x WD x TWD x (CHD+HSD) x DTOOC x (DTA or DTH) x Amp 1 x amp 2…..

DPS Calc:
(Crit shot x CHC) + (Non Crit Shot x (1-CHC)) x RPM/60

[main jungle]

Having difficulty seeing if Spotter kicks in on Pulse, are there no icons on target?

[stone wind]

Tried disabling overlay... didn't help at all

So I'm guessing a full reinstall won't make any difference either

[azure lintel]

Nope

[hushed hawk]

I want to say District Arena but there are two tricky situations with heavy minigunners

[fast harness]

I feel like I went through a good breakthrough

Removing all of the bad shit off my agents but I need to fix my first

[dark kraken]

of the three, capitol building is probably the easiest
once you get inside the building, there are a good number of chokepoints to funnel enemies through, and the strat for the final boss is simple and relatively reliable

[boreal musk]

Does anyone know if the Hunters in Countdown when they dropped that guaranteed named item can it be swayed at all towards your targeted loot? Or is that drop just random

[azure lintel]

It's random

[stone wind]

Aaaaaaaaaaand... crash

[potent chasm]

What's that new backpack that was in the clothing event trailer?

[eternal bridge]

appreciate it

[zinc minnow]

did they add the fi fb chest and backpack to general loot pool? cuz i got 3 fi backpacks yesterday in a stronghold

[reef reef]

answered your own question, no?

[zinc minnow]

just wanted to know its not a bug cuz it is ubisoft afterall

[celest marten]

Are they actually going to update the new exotics with an actual cool model at some point? They just look… sad, despite being cool gear.

Like, no offense, but most of this season, the aesthetic and art of things just looks VERY rushed.

[zinc minnow]

the mask is pretty cool tho

[celest marten]

Still pretty half baked compared to the others, by far.

[azure lintel]

I'm just hoping that the Kingbreaker gets fixed visually and animation wise. Cause its getting annoying that it doesn't reload like a bullpup rifle, the mag hovers, sights don't fit on it well and the laser sight is somehow inside the hand guard.

[celest marten]

The Vanity mask looks better than it. That shouldn’t be the case.

[low gate]

It's official tissue

[celest marten]

Just another thing that I’m sure was rushed alongside the models. Just isn’t up to visual par, which in a way holds just as much significance as stats for a video game.

[azure lintel]

Fair, probs gonna get fixed eventually.

[celest marten]

Just astounds me I’m sniping through a scope that doesn’t exist on the gun model… for an exotic that looks unchanged from the weapon it’s based on… like what the hell.

[fading orchid]

does countdown drop optinization mats like rikers

[zinc minnow]

magic

[zinc minnow]

i think it drops them but only the bosses and from that faction (if they are true sons they drop true sons)

[celest marten]

Very Tom Clancy, I’m sure.

Also, why can’t I reconfigure the new exotics? Is that a confirmed issue right now or what?

[zinc minnow]

you bought the blueprint?

[potent chasm]

I think it'd be pretty cool if BTs took over control points

[stone wind]

Wonder what they'll bring for tomorrow's maintenance

[eternal bridge]

that sounds interesting but I solo TB already so im just waiting around for Legendary Open World

[tight ermine]

They ought to implement a "Predation" directive that spawns hunters in groups of fours in the open world. Also the hunters spawn with Legendary scaling regardless of open world difficulty.
Also they can spawn at any given moment regardless of what the player is doing.

[stone wind]

Gonna call it a night. Constant crashes today.

[azure lintel]

I struggled with 2 hunters on 100 floor summit on challenging. I am not ready for that and will forever hate the game if that actually was a thing.

[fleet pewter]

Why is the savage wolverine so bad 😭

[eternal bridge]

DM me your build

[fleet pewter]

I love the honey badger but both versions are so mediocre

[fleet pewter]

Basic hunters fury build

[eternal bridge]

AR with an SMG build is your problem

[fleet pewter]

Yes, but it's also a close range build
With the close range talent
But 7 meters is super close anyways

[eternal bridge]

I clutch Honey Badger w/ Strained with my PGC build. Youre crippling Savage with Hunters bud

[fleet pewter]

That is a honey badger, not a wolverine

[eternal bridge]

😂 its the same weapon just named

[fleet pewter]

Dog when I say a weapon, I mean the weapon
"Damn the pyromaniac isn't great outside of builds that you can easily set people on fire"
"The police m4 is a great AR in my build"

[eternal bridge]

typical gen z logic. same weapons just different talents. one has a perfect the others are random

[fleet pewter]

Bruh
Moron cannot accept he is moron, instead blames logical thinking and basic comprehension of english
Also, not gen z

[reef reef]

no need to be like that

[eternal bridge]

this topic is nothing but bait at this point pal. learn to build around weapons

[fleet pewter]

Sorry, I will avoid stooping to other people's levels from now on

[tight ermine]

The bottom line is that ARs aren't ideal for HF. That's it. The DPS of Honey Badger is 631K. The SIG MPX which is often lauded as one of the best SMGs in the game, has a DPS output of 752K.
The only thing holding back the MPX is the abysmal reload speed, which is easily remedied by using the Fast Hands Talent.
So in addition to having a higher DPS output than the Honey Badger, you're also getting the damage increase to SMGs from HF.
You can find all this info here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nrPBmOrtpkEW1j5fbcRT7L-AXgsGOqMqxXoVtopsiGM/edit#gid=0

[fleet pewter]

Thanks, but is there any real situation a wolverine is useful? [I mean an actual wolverine, not a random badger]

[tight ermine]

Apart from a build that's specifically built for general DPS like the standard red build or a build made specifically for ARs? No. There is not.

[fleet pewter]

Thanks, quite sad though

[tight ermine]

Your gun and your build work hand in hand to synergize. The gun can't do all the work and neither can the build. Both play equal roles in deciding how things play out.

[eternal bridge]

youre beating a dead horse bro. hes trying to base an argument around his own perogative. its not going to work

[fleet pewter]

We're having an actual conversation you goofy ass wanker

[tight ermine]

You're more than welcome to reverse calculate how the Wolverine compares to something like the MPX when the talent is active and check if the DPS is enough to make it worth using over SMGs in general, otherwise, you're just shooting yourself in the foot.

[fleet pewter]

Very useful info, appreciate it

[eternal bridge]

Same thing I tried to tell him yet I get cussed for it. Narcissists sure love their own misery

[fleet pewter]

You told me nothing useful lmao
If I was a narcissist I wouldn't have thanked the actually useful individual

[tight ermine]

High, you berated him for using the weapon instead of actually explaining why the weapon was a poor choice in the first place.
"AR with an SMG build is your problem" literally elaborates nothing.

[eternal bridge]

yet i have no probelm breaking everything down. I do math for a living its not hard to show him all my builds with pieces that synergize what weapons and proc what dmg boosts needed

[tight ermine]

Ok, so do that instead?

[eternal bridge]

I told him to DM me his build in the first place

[hybrid ore]

Okay you two, take it to PM's.

[tight ermine]

Oh, I'm done. lol.
Indecisive, you can just DM High your build, and I'm sure he can do the numbers for you, or explain how that stuff is calculated. I would, but I'm ass at math.
There's probably formula for it that he knows.

[fleet pewter]

I'm done as well, math is easy for me so I would be able to do it myself, I thought that asking someone if it was useful before I decided to calculate it would have been better
There's multiple solutions, the community knows all of them and I was only able to solve for one of them

[devout island]

eh what's going on with the MT update today? is there any fixed related to the apparel event or something?

[toxic cove]

yeah, what's up with that

[signal crypt]

Are they adding the backpack for the apparel event

[toxic cove]

BRING back the POP N LOCK EMOTE

where is it!??

[fair lake]

No patch notes yet, and I don't trust this "3 hours estimated downtime" anymore

[eternal bridge]

Welcome to the club lol. Ive supported Bungie and Ubisoft for 20+ years and their downtime has never been on time in recent years

[little relic]

No patch notes just wanna make ppl wait 3 hrs to delay its death

[fair lake]

Previous dev team rarely prolonged maintenance time, telling this as an active player since day 1

[pale lake]

i love cosmetics crashing my game

[fair lake]

Yeah, WONY launch with it's 8 hour maintenance was ass, but still, not so often)

[eternal bridge]

Hence why I said recent years not all years

[pale lake]

also what was the problem with the apparels was it actually the poor optimisation of some of them?

[frosty skiff]

3 hours maintenance and then delay and delay and delay xD

[sudden inlet]

Severs offline again?!

[pale lake]

on one hand the dev team is smaller than before
on the other hand i wanna play my game and id prefer not to crash doing so

[eternal bridge]

you could always become a solution to that problem, if youre looking for a different profession

[pale lake]

i prefer to complain about the problem and not give solutions or help

[frosty skiff]

Yes, i think they're fixing the conflict (still) bug, and the redlight from alien, and some apparel bug

[frosty skiff]

Like most of the players do

[eternal bridge]

I admire your honesty lol

[pale lake]

div 2 really eats my ram too

[eternal bridge]

for sure man, its a cache issue. once I get up to 5 Gigs in Resource Monitor, I close and reopen the game

[tacit quest]

so hi everyone! im kinda new to this game and i was wondering, is this 3 hour maintenance thing a common thing?

[pale lake]

is that how you combat that?

[tacit quest]

because i think it also happened yesterday or somethign

[pale lake]

thats a bit annoying but good to know thank you

[frosty skiff]

My friend reach 10gigs ram just to play this game, this game eats more rams than google chrome

[pale lake]

everytime i crash is also because div 2 eats too much ram

[eternal bridge]

no doubt man. and yes ive tried to search for a better solution but its terrible game optimization at this point. wish I could help the devs but im only 37 credit hours into my Comp Engineering degree

[pale lake]

yeah ive had a friend find out that his game has weird stutters because his polling rate was too high

it seems like such a basic thing to fix

[eternal bridge]

It would seem so but once you start messing with code, everything has to align perfectly in order for things to work the way they should. experimenting like that at this point with the size of staff they have now would give us exemplified downtime compared to just routine maintenance

[pale lake]

yeah it makes sense but its still frustrating to deal with it

[eternal bridge]

very true man. very true

[azure lintel]

If I manage to play long enough, the game's performance gets progressively worse

[eternal bridge]

Yup Ram issue in a nutshell and then boom, game crashes and burns in the end result

[frosty skiff]

It feels like everyone got their own quota to get crash xD or delta

[pale lake]

ive had game crashes happen pretty fast

like within 10 minutes fast

[azure lintel]

I do hope they manage to address general performance in TU16, and not just "if the game isn't crashing every 5 minutes, all's fine"

[pale lake]

ive had a crash occur because a stinger hit the ground and the game didnt like that

[azure lintel]

I crashed twice trying to do the same landmark in the DZ

[frosty skiff]

Yesterday i was just right into the game and then not even 1 minute, opening inventory, crash, LOL

[pale lake]

yeah it happens so quickly

[azure lintel]

Eventually I just gave up trying

It feels like self-dooming sometimes tbh

If people start leaving because of the crashes, player count gets lower and it becomes harder to justify further updates that might improve stability

Because all the powers that be see are "low number = no money"

[pale lake]

no monie

[azure lintel]

no monet

[frosty skiff]

No player = no money = no update = players left = game dead

[eternal bridge]

I dont want to admit like the rest of you but this game is slowly dying after 3 years right in front of us. Yes they push new content to appease the crowd, but if you cant play it even with max specs, then whats the point?

[pale lake]

what if they add rtx though

i wanna see my bullets flying with ray tracing

[eternal bridge]

would be nice as I have a 2070 Super in my build but its the Ram issue thats causing all the problems. Bottlenecking the end users resources and equipment

[azure lintel]

I really wish there was that AMD thingy, the uhhh

Fidelity FX

[pale lake]

just download ram

[eternal bridge]

Yesssssss! 😂

[azure lintel]

Unless I already turned it on and just forgot, I don't even remember at this point

[devout island]

its common every Tuesday, but today is exception, don't know what is happening

[pale lake]

maybe the devs forgot their glasses and assumed that thursday is now tuesday

[devout island]

probably

[eternal bridge]

Im about to check the forums

[devout island]

yeah, gonna check it as well right now while waiting and looking for Summer Game Festival later on

[pale lake]

man heartlands sounds petty nice rn

[eternal bridge]

This is all we have for now boys and girls. https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/160127/maintenance-june-9th-2022?lang=en-US

[pale lake]

this is very in depth and i sure hope they fix what they promised in this very maintenance notice

[civic spruce]

Fucking maintenance for how many hours in 2 straight days yet still crashes like shit.

[pale lake]

i think it got worse after yesterdays maintenance tbh

[eternal bridge]

Dont know how accurate these sites are but heres game population on one of them in real time an hour ago https://activeplayer.io/division-2/

[civic spruce]

Definitely! My only problem prior to yesterday's patch was crashing, after the patch, it causes the other programs to crash, it's like it's eating the memory.

[pale lake]

i have not seen that

[civic spruce]

Not exactly crashing the other programs, but it needs to be closed since they respond so slow.

[pale lake]

no not at all havent been seeing that

[civic spruce]

In a nutshell, Div is the only program that I can open in order for my pc not to get fucked.

[eternal bridge]

This!

[pale lake]

man i think they just made the game more ram intensive with this last patch to encourage players to buy more ram

its a conspiracy all of the ram companies want your money

[eternal bridge]

After two years this how my latest PC build still performs outside of Div 2. https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/53070037

[azure lintel]

To be fair, the maintenances weren't really done to apply fixes to crashing

The one I can recall, which was 15.1, did make countdown playable for me when it wasn't, though of course I can't speak for anyone else

[fair lake]

Div2 crashes not because I don't have enough ram (32 gb), but just crashes, because it likes to do so xD
No deltas, no black screen - pure freeze of death

[eternal bridge]

To be fair GTA 5 could use the same TLC as Div 2 these day but that game should have died 4 years ago

[azure lintel]

Oh yeah, some months ago I heard they actually fixed the obscene loading times

[azure lintel]

What on earth is going on with the servers. 2nd morning in a row they've been down.

[median beacon]

is the game down? I can't log in. I thought maintenance was only on Tuesdays

[devout island]

yes, its maintenance today again this week. no patch note so far

[median beacon]

thanks for the status update, if this fixes the crashes then i wont be mad at them

[royal whale]

If I was to take a guess:

• Apparel completion reward fixes
• Apparel cache causing colour blindness fixes
• Twitch reward fixes
• Added a few more crashes
  😄

[devout island]

probably that 2nd point make more sense

since yesterday most are mention the color issues on the apparal cache thingy

[azure lintel]

why is there a maintenance?

[civic spruce]

I thought that was intentional, LOL! Also, my hat changed color from white it became slightly purple.

3.6GB update.

[graceful lark]

patchnotes havent released for this update, have they

[hushed frigate]

Unscheduled, unannounced and unspecified maintenance?

[oblique chasm]

3.2gb on PS

[dapper atlas]

It has been announced -> #server-status

[civic spruce]

Patch is done but still not able to connect! FUCK!

[royal whale]

because server side deployment takes time

[hushed frigate]

You're right. My mistake. I just didn't expect there to be another 3 hour maintenance two days after the initial 6 hour maintenance.

[dapper atlas]

Yea, usually it's just one maintenance a week. If there is more than one it's usually because they are fixing something important.

[karmic tapir]

Fixing something to break something else is usually how they do it

[thorny talon]

hope they better extend time for apparel event

[dusty oracle]

28th of June not 22nd as shown ingame

[fervent berry]

It's that red screen of blindness UI issue that I'm more concerned about

When I open a Fairview apparel cache, my pupils dilate from the excitement

[civic spruce]

I juz hope my control points dont get reset due to the maintenance.

[eager loom]

you need to be their marketer. HAHA. "Added a few more crashes" 😄

[real locust]

someone told me strongholds reset after every downtime and im not sure if they meant every downtime scheduled or unscheduled or specifically every tuesday

[fervent berry]

Strongholds reset every Tuesday afaik

Regardless of a scheduled maintenance

The last time a mid-week planned maintenance happened, my world map didn't reset when I returned to the game

[real locust]

i will get gwh invaded one day

[civic spruce]

Its annoying seeing red on the map.

[thorny talon]

not really

[frozen holly]

For Nemesis? Don't worry, you'll get there.

[real locust]

hopefully 🙏

[thorny talon]

nemesis more like somewhere in the stash 😔

[hushed frigate]

3 weeks in a row, nothing! xD

[civic spruce]

Is the current season pass worth buying? I mean I know it's cheap, but juz wanna know if theres anything else other than those extra things they showed in the level rewards.

[real locust]

not for me i’ve got a build that i love to use and would make the build perfect

[hushed frigate]

Also, I've been running Summit for quite some time now. I never managed to get all the pieces for ridgeways... and come to realise as I say this. I never will since someone shared it with me and have it in my stash "facepalms".

[reef reef]

Make a new character, throw ridgeways on that character.

Boom, you'll start getting peices.

[thorny talon]

too slow mantis better

[real locust]

already use mantis

[midnight kayak]

Gathered it two days ago. While soloing. Met some troubles on 100, but managed to overcome them.

[vapid crypt]

mantis is easier to use, nemi is more satisfying ngl

[desert crystal]

is they a client patch

[reef reef]

Most people see mantis as the better option, since no charge up, even if nemesis can oneshot most things. The time required to get there isnt worth it.

[thorny talon]

^^

nemesisi is for the 1% niche situations

[hushed frigate]

Oh I know, I've been doing the same to get the nemesis bp on my new character. I just never stopped to think I had a ridgeways shared with me, and that is was causing the problems for me not getting the parts.

Which is in fact a stupid mechanic if you ask me.

[vapid crypt]

Hey man, if you can master the nemi, thing is a beast compared to Mantis any day

[thorny talon]

i think scorpio is the best weapon ever in div 2. Thing can fit in any build and slap hard fr

[desert crystal]

Theres a download patch

[vapid crypt]

It's already a strong weapon on it's own, it's why it's so versatile, it can make any bad build "good" and any good build "godlike"

[thorny talon]

i havent got blue screen yet . is it comparable to scorpio?

[hushed frigate]

No

[vapid crypt]

Haven't used it much so I can't say much about it

Heard it's alright tho

[hushed frigate]

Bluescreen procs when using a skill and resets the count. It should proc the max stack one when a target dies, but I have yet to see it happen.

[peak crypt]

Ya I have not seen it proc on death yet either

[frozen holly]

It does, but first you must mark the other enemies around.

[peak crypt]

I have.

[frozen holly]

Kill the one with full stack and enjoy that view of crippling npcs. ;p

[rich shadow]

stacks are built on the agent, not on the NPCs

[hushed frigate]

"50 Stacks - Pulse, Disrupt, and Disorient marked targets and all hostiles within 10 meters of the marked targets for 5 seconds. This effect will trigget immediately if any marked enemy is killed."

The way it is described it should disorient everything within a 10 meter radius of a target when you hit 50 stacks, or when the target dies with the debuff.

[peak crypt]

The only way it procs for me is using a skill killing one with the mark does nothing.

[azure lintel]

Bluescreen will permanently mark an enemy when they take damage from the gun and build a stack on the agent. Using a skill will clear stacks on the agent and apply effects proportional to the agent's stacks to all marked enemies, independent of whether the player has the gun active or not. An enemy dying while marked and the agent has max stacks will automatically trigger the effect.

[rich shadow]

I think it's still bugged

[peak crypt]

me too

[frozen holly]

Of course stack are on agent like strikers or hb stacks. And if you want to release debuff with BS you'll need to be at full and mark some enemies.

[azure lintel]

The effect on kill should only be available at 50 stacks

[hushed frigate]

This is not how it is described on the weapon.

[azure lintel]

It is, just it has a lot of wording that can be a bit confusing

It's a surprisingly overexplained talent

[frozen holly]

Or using skills as someone stated above.

[hushed frigate]

How is it explained in that way? If you read it right, it doesn't say what you just did.

[frozen holly]

But you will see different effects on that how many stacks you have atm.

[azure lintel]

Then I'll open the game and see if I'm just being crazy

[hallow sleet]

3,63 GB Download ... does anybody know what they did with this patch ?

[rich shadow]

does it work as stated - specifically the full stacks with a kill?

[azure lintel]

They added the second expansion, Cowboys of Texas

[peak crypt]

maybe they fixed the expertise bug

[hallow sleet]

😄

[royal whale]

no talent should have a thesis for explanations. It's worded so badly

[azure lintel]

Ah bloody hell, I gotta update the game before launching

I mean, I initially misunderstood what the talent was and when I finally understood what it was, I noticed the gun was actually saying exactly how it worked

[rich shadow]

so on kill - the agent must have max stacks

[azure lintel]

Yep

[rich shadow]

does this work?

[hushed frigate]

I'm trying to read it differently and I guess it is in fact just poor wording.

[peak crypt]

I have yet to get it to work at full stack

[frozen holly]

Yes, it does.

[azure lintel]

The gun's description operates a bit on a rule of omission

[rich shadow]

it should be good to test in the range

[azure lintel]

If the gun doesn't specify kills on the rest of the stacks, they don't work with kills

[hushed frigate]

Basically it says, don't use any skills or you'll never get to max stacks

[azure lintel]

Well, yes

If you use any skill besides the one it outlines as an exception, the stacks are removed and the effects are applied to marked targets

So the gun funnily works on its own or with skill synergy

I actually love that about it

[peak crypt]

So you have seen it proc at full stack by killing an enemy not using a skill?

[hushed frigate]

I've never actually looked at it that way. I will try it out with different setups I guess (not referring to the named backpack).

[frozen holly]

Yes, i saw multiple times when i did level Bluescreen.

[thorny talon]

lol

[azure lintel]

Basically Bluescreen:

• Shoot at enemy to mark enemy
• Shoot at enemy to build stacks on agent
• Use skill to consume stacks and apply effect proportional amount of stacks to all marked targets (gun doesn't have to be held and stacks don't get consumed if no targets are marked)
• If marked enemy dies while agent has 50 stacks, the effect of 50 stacks is activated and the stacks are removed from the agent; targets dying with 49 stacks or less don't trigger it

[peak crypt]

I used it in countdown for a full day and never seen it proc on kill with full stacks.

[azure lintel]

It could be bugged

There's always that chance with this game

[thorny talon]

too complex to care about midfight

[azure lintel]

Bluescreen players be like "no you don't need a Ph.D to understand the gun, I just got one because studying was fun"

[peak crypt]

its not worth activating unless you have at least 26 stacks anyways

[royal whale]

by the time you do all that I can hear an acs-12 heartbreaker user killing half the map 😄

[thorny talon]

lol

[peak crypt]

yep

Might be good on maps with 2-3 heavy units

[thorny talon]

or a crazy eclipse fire build player yeeting that fire in spawns

[turbid tapir]

does anyone knows on the season track reward, it gives season 4,5,6 reward what are those

[grizzled sorrel]

servers are offline i see

and 1 hr remaining

[desert crystal]

If its not extended

[grizzled sorrel]

did u update the game?

i got an update right now

3.65gb update

[azure lintel]

Bluescreen is a solid weapon for heartbreaker, lack of laser aside

When my stacks are lowering, I mark enemies, switch weapons, pulse everything and then magdump the ACS on a crowd of disoriented enemies

[peak crypt]

I wonder if it would work well with Negotiators Dilemma

[azure lintel]

That's actually a good question

[peak crypt]

I mean you have to mark 3-5 anyways

[rich shadow]

ND Bluescreen crit build

[azure lintel]

And the gun works on its own, so you don't need a skill build to make it good

For all it cares, you can slap it on a full red build and perform well

[fervent berry]

There's probably a YouTube video about this build by now

[peak crypt]

ya you just need basic pulse to set it off

[rich shadow]

Does Bluescreen pass on kill if used on Eclipse Protocol build?

[worn iron]

Identity has one

[azure lintel]

I'll never not say it: Bluescreen is so far the most well-thought exotic gun in the game

[robust breach]

Is division 2 down?

[azure lintel]

It works for virtually any build that makes sense to have it on

[rich shadow]

Does Bluescreen work with Creeping Death?

[elfin hazel]

yes for about another hour

[azure lintel]

I'm 99% certain it does, just haven't tested it yet because the game doesn't want to grace me with a fucking backpack

[fervent berry]

I thought the Nemesis was the most well thought-out weapon in the game

no Yu-Gi-Oh card effects, just aim, hold and shoot, ez pz

[azure lintel]

One of my ideas for a HB build is slapping a petrov backpack with creeping death to make use of the mass of status effects

[rich shadow]

I have a foam build with Eclipse and creeping death, i might slap Bluescreen on it and give it a go

[azure lintel]

YGO cards are like someone daring the guy at the office to see how much of the lorem ipsum text he could fit in

[fair lake]

Bluescreen's mark isn't a status effect, if I'm not mistaken

[fervent berry]

Don't be surprised if, for season 10, they release an exotic with a literal Lorem ipsum talent text because one guy forgot to edit the template

[rich shadow]

It is when it's triggered

[fair lake]

Before trigger, I mean)

[robust breach]

Damn man rip anyone who’s in Australia or Asia.

[peak crypt]

Ya the mark wont spread but the status it procs will

[rich shadow]

But since we already have eclipse I guess there's not much point adding Bluescreen to that

[azure lintel]

Well, Bluescreen is one of uhhhh how many again a few player-generated ways of disorienting enemies

And depending on the player, the fastest

[hushed frigate]

The pain....

[peak crypt]

I dont think it can out CC hunters fury with scorpio

[azure lintel]

Now imagine the real gamer shit: you just marked an entire door spawn with Bluescreen, turned to an enemy group, popped banshee and stunned both groups at once effortlessly

[fervent berry]

I'm gonna try Bluescreen with EP now, thanks guys

[peak crypt]

dont forget vile mask

[fervent berry]

Had no clue what to do with it since getting it from the rewards

[fervent berry]

Yeah, my EP build has Vile. I thought it was a must have

[lone valve]

The thing with ep and bluescreen is that the status effects doesn't get increased in time

[peak crypt]

When I tested it out I was using it with a Ongoing Directive build

[azure lintel]

ND, EP, nigthwatcher HB, that gun's like a duck

[lone valve]

Every ep build has to have vile
That's what I run for leagues

And capacitor cuz why not
Wonder how good the capacitor gets with a skill build at grade 20

[fervent berry]

+20% weapon damage from proficiency level 20, then (assuming 6 tiers), 75% x 6 extra, right?

[lone valve]

Yea I think

Is that accounting the spec bonus too?

[fervent berry]

Nope, spec bonus and other gear stuff untouched. That's just capacitor passive with 6 tiers and proficiency levels

[peak crypt]

So did you guys hear about the weapon expertise dmg stacking bug?

[lone valve]

It could be very nasty

[lone valve]

Yes
It's more worth it for players with higher grade weapons tbh

[dull blaze]

Oh boys theres an update lol

Like a download wtf😂

[lone valve]

There's still maintenance going on

[patent crescent]

do we know what the maintenance is for? thought the weekly maintenance was 2 days ago

[lone valve]

Fixing some of the apparel issues iirc

Like the screen being red

[patent crescent]

ahhk

[signal marten]

Hey I'm running a damage bulid on my alt but I wanna use either hunter's fury or ongoing directed, which of those two would be idea the most & why?

[turbid tapir]

can somebody explain what is the reward in the season track: Permanently unlock season 3 prime target mission

[eager talon]

Oh game ia not yet up??

[signal marten]

No

[peak crypt]

Still got around 45 minutes if they are on schedule

[elfin hazel]

<t:1654770600:R> / <t:1654770600:t>

[dusty oracle]

until they delay it yea xD

[peak crypt]

They are rewording the info on bluescreen descrition so it may take awhile

[jade knoll]

Do you mean the legacy manhunt mission at camp white oak ect?

[turbid tapir]

hey waffle

yea can we unlock those legacy manhunt mission?

[elfin hazel]

unlocks the previous seasons final missions

[eager talon]

Did they already hand out the twitch drops from the TU15 update?

[tender wave]

Once you've got that reward, you can 'toggle mission mode' on Coney Island Amusement Park to get the Schaeffer manhunt mission and unlock the frag trap

[turbid tapir]

oh so we dont have to hunt all 4, we get to the final boss instead

[elfin hazel]

yeah

[turbid tapir]

oh boy! i didnt know this, thanks all for the info

[jade knoll]

Yeah you got it 👍

[elfin hazel]

so jupiter for roosevelt, hornet for tidal basin, schaeffer for coney & faye for white oak

[turbid tapir]

any of them give us new skill?

[keen osprey]

Yes

[elfin hazel]

I think they should give you the skills they came with if you dont have them already yeah

[peak crypt]

Yes I did 2 before the servers went down

I got the achilles pulse and emp sticky

[turbid tapir]

interesting

[keen osprey]

Emp sticky, healer trap, achillees pulse, shrapnel trap are the ones ones unlock

[turbid tapir]

cant wait to get them all

[jade knoll]

Shrapnel from coney?

[amber vigil]

I'm not understanding. The maintenance was yesterday and I'm getting a patch to download today?

[peak crypt]

what missions are the healer trap and shrapnel trap at?

[elfin hazel]

theres also maintenance today that comes with a patch

[amber vigil]

Aw, didn't know that. Any fix (or attempt) for the PC crashing?

[elfin hazel]

fixing conflict & apparel event stuff psure

no idea about that other than TU16 apparently focusing on that

[keen osprey]

Healer trap is from season 2 target at tidal basin which is hornet.

[amber vigil]

I don't understand how can a crash issue is going around and they decide to push the fix for TU16... that kind of issue usually takes priority above everything else

[keen osprey]

Shrapnel is season 3 reward from schaeffer

[elfin hazel]

they probably want to get content out for the players first

[molten spire]

Basically unless it's a reliably reproducible bug like how Heartbreaker and Catharsis instantly crashed PTS3, gathering information on what causes crashes and reproducing them to see why is a lot harder

[elfin hazel]

plus I'd imagine since crashing has been a pretty big thing since launch its going to take a bit of time compared to some new content

[desert crystal]

strangely mines been crashing only when discord is open

[elfin hazel]

every "fix" out there for crashing has been/is really case by case (outside of like turning DX12 off)

[devout island]

nah its not intentional i think, and when looking at it weirdly, look like getting trauma lol

[peak crypt]

Mine doesnt crash to desktop at all. But the game will just freeze up and I have to end task.

[amber vigil]

my issues with crashes with this game (only) don't come from now. I still get random crashes (which makes me not playing Hardcore despite wanting) now but by the time of the RE apparel event, it was even worst

[devout island]

same issues i get

[nova basin]

Exactly

[keen osprey]

I seen Morten mentioning setting easy aniticheat to use only one core(?)

[elfin hazel]

yeah that seems to be the only "official" fix for crashes rn

[grizzled sorrel]

30 mins more

[elfin hazel]

more of a stop gap kinda fix than a full on one

[peak crypt]

anticheat are the root of as lot of issues with games and they dont even stop cheaters lol

[elfin hazel]

I mean its a constant game of tug of war

[keen osprey]

Wake me up when September comes the new single by Greenday in memoriam of all Division Agents patiently waiting on crash fixes. 😄

[elfin hazel]

I'm guessing EAC in TD2 probably just needs to be updated

hard to say as anti cheat related things are very behind closed doors

[keen osprey]

BattleEye reminds of this guy

https://youtu.be/ZN5xiCEsV5o

[elfin hazel]

I mean BE can be good its just more often than not pretty bad

why I don't exactly know but I'm guessing its most likely from it not being updated often enough/quick enough

[inland saddle]

@keen osprey 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[keen osprey]

It does nothing but cause headaches on games like rainbow six siege where people are permanently banned for having a macro enabled that isn't even set up to interfere with the game. They scan all root files but ignore the actual cheat software lol. Braindead system if you ask me.

I suppose pve players in this game are lucky though because the actual cheating would stem entirely within dz or conflict and I've never came across it, so "see no evil speak no evil"

[bitter wraith]

Is it worth trying to get the orbit solo?

Or not because of the tryhards?

[elfin hazel]

hard to say but you could also just grind countdown & buy named caches from the vendor as it should also be in there

[keen osprey]

You could just keep playing Countdown to increase your expertise and try your luck at getting it in named caches with Countdown requisition?

[bitter wraith]

Swear it isn't. Thought the orbit is dz exclusive?

[keen osprey]

Or wait till pistols are targeted in dz loot. Better chances

[elfin hazel]

named caches have dz locked items in them

[keen osprey]

It definitely is in named caches yes

[bitter wraith]

How is expertise useful? Ngl I don't even know what it's for

[elfin hazel]

its more of a bonus thing that boosts your gear a little bit over time

[keen osprey]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/the-division-2/gameplay/article/improving-your-gear-expertise-in-the-division-2/000101951?origin=middle

Let me find the other article that's more detailed and will answer questions more thoroughly

[elfin hazel]

I mean yeah the 2 big anti cheats are kernel level which gives them way better detection & increases bans but that also can lead to a ton of false positives if set up wrong by the devs

[keen osprey]

https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-division/the-division-2/news-updates/3Eqa62fOd4sDI1hqjSVdI2/intelligence-annex-expertise

[elfin hazel]

like VAC sucks because its not kernel level(IIRC) like EAC/BE so a ton of cheaters get through but when someone does get banned its practically guaranteed they were cheating

[bitter wraith]

Is expertising cheap?

[keen osprey]

Ideally you'll want to focus mainly on upgrading your weapons and skills as gear piece armour percentages are ridiculously low for the materials needed to invest on each.

(No)

[elfin hazel]

it costs a good bit of resources over all yeah

[azure lintel]

Lately it seems to me that cheating in PVE is on the rise - i mainly play missions in random groups, and when all enemies in a room die within seconds, the same in the follwing rooms, then there is something foul

[dull blaze]

Any patchnotes yet?

[elfin hazel]

not yet no

[dull blaze]

Never seen that lol

[elfin hazel]

despite it being <t:1654770600:R> / <t:1654770600:t> away

[bitter wraith]

Damn. What's best way to farm resources.

[keen osprey]

I remember the days when people would blame their anti virus software like McAffee or AVG for false bans in games.😂

[azure lintel]

a watch mule character

[bitter wraith]

I do CPs but usually get obliterated if I use the skill build so I use a Scorpio tank build but I've used it so much over the last 7 months I'm bored of using it

[fervent berry]

solar farm CP

[bitter wraith]

?

[elfin hazel]

if you're like SHD level 1200+ running WONY outside of that probably countdown/summit and then deconstructing everything you get

[bitter wraith]

Why solar specifically?

[keen osprey]

That works for anyone already at 2 or 3k and above but doesn't seem like their knowledge proves such shd level.

[jade knoll]

Servers are up

[bitter wraith]

cries in level 400+

I'm like 480

[peak crypt]

Solar farm has tons of stuff laying around

[keen osprey]

Thank you @jade knoll

[fervent berry]

Tons of mats everywhere: in the supply room, outside the supply room, next to the solar panels, outside the tents, in the tents, the whole smash is a material magnet

[devout island]

gonna try now

[runic kindle]

I'm in

[bitter wraith]

I'll do that then ty

[jade knoll]

Ofc 🥰

[dull blaze]

ffs ps5 still copying

[bitter wraith]

Is artillery turret good?

[keen osprey]

Yesss they fixed the red screen of death

And the apparel event now has an icon 👀

[devout island]

thx for the status update @jade knoll

[dull blaze]

I already unlocked all apparel hopefully i get my masks and stuff

[azure lintel]

for the one who uses it in a group - yes. for the others - no

[keen osprey]

I like the new masks they added. I wonder when the complaints will roll

[fervent berry]

Finally, my eyeballs can breathe a sigh of relief

[leaden dagger]

Is maintenance done or not yet?

[keen osprey]

Yes

[elfin hazel]

yes

[bitter wraith]

OK so it's useless then

Is it worth using drone with turret?

[fervent berry]

It's not useless, per se, but you can't really slap the mortar on any build. It's kinda particular, if you get my drift

[bitter wraith]

Ok

[fervent berry]

The artillery turret is kinda like the airburst seeker mine.

They're quite niche, but they still work when done well

[keen osprey]

I hang my head in shame to say I did this to gain prof levels.

[azure lintel]

sometimes the artillery turret is very helpful, even in groups. but forget to use a sniper when one of your group members uses one

[dull blaze]

Bro check ur mailbox

[keen osprey]

My mail box is empty

[fervent berry]

Be proud, mate. That's class

[keen osprey]

The post man hasn't been around yet for me sigh

[peak crypt]

hell ya I got lots of mats now lol

[dull blaze]

They uncapped the mats?

I have way more than the cap in those caches

[peak crypt]

I didnt even have any expertise levels when thjey rolled people back lol

[keen osprey]

Whats the payouts

[dull blaze]

Check build advice

Fuck yes they uncapped the materials finally

9999 cap now

[peak crypt]

Ya I got the same

[eager talon]

Wow

[worn iron]

wow only took 5 years looool

[fervent berry]

Better late than never

[dull blaze]

I got 55 exo components back

[worn iron]

suppose lool

[fervent berry]

I'm still getting Mike on my console so I'll wait 10 mins

[peak crypt]

So if I open it it wont lose any? they raised the cap?

Did anyone see if your other characters got one as well?

[eager talon]

9999 cap not on the patch notea huh

[lone valve]

Wait they uncapped the mats????

Holy hell

[keen osprey]

Oh shit you're right

[eager talon]

They really did it???????

[keen osprey]

This should have always been the way

[lone valve]

OK so if I open this up rn
I'll be able to pick them up
If I'm near the cap???

[eager talon]

Now uncap the storage or sell me 300 slots

[lone valve]

Oh this expertise upgrade grind just got more enjoyable

[dull blaze]

Yoooo these backpacks are sick

[keen osprey]

I'd hope this isn't a temporary solution to get around the bulk compensation

[elfin hazel]

god I hope so

I will start SOBBING & WEEPING if it is

[lone valve]

Oh all those mats mmmmm
😩

[elfin hazel]

I mean its not like mats couldn't already go over the cap

very common to go over 2500 for receiver & fabric parts when doing WONY runs

[keen osprey]

Only if you used the shared blueprint but on a single account impossible

[lone valve]

5k printer filament

[hushed frigate]

I think people are trolling

[keen osprey]

Wdym@hushed frigate

[lone valve]

They aren't
It's real
It's uncapped

[elfin hazel]

I remember back when the seasons first came out the mats caches would go over the limit

[lone valve]

Going on a upgrade spree 😅

[keen osprey]

https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/160127/completed-maintenance-june-9th-2022-updated-june-9th-2022-12-15pm-cest?lang=en-US

Patch notes updated

[hushed frigate]

About the material cap

[lone valve]

Nope it's real

For now
Unless it's temp

[keen osprey]

3 things mentioned but no talk on the cap being lifted.

[keen osprey]

Yeah it's real

[hushed frigate]

yeah, probably another bug

So I'm not risking losing materials when this gets "fixed"

[eager talon]

Yeah no talk no materials cap so enjoy it while it is there

[lone valve]

Enjoy it while it lasts if it's a bug

[dull blaze]

Its obviously not a bug lol they had to uncap it and it will never go back to normal

[keen osprey]

But like I said - it could be to get around the compensation issue for now. Watch them uncap it at some point

[eager talon]

You forgot, the devs take away enjoyable things

[elfin hazel]

SHDCAL / field recon is 1k
receiver components, fabric, steel, ceramics, polycarbonate, carbon fiber, electronics, titanium & printer filament are 9999

[keen osprey]

(I didn't get the cache, so expect me to reeeee all day) 🤭🤣

[dull blaze]

I already found a bug

[lone valve]

More problems with people not getting compensated lol

[elfin hazel]

dazza wasnt considered to be grinding enough

[dull blaze]

If u put the backpack skin on a backpack and switch to another loadout the skin stays

Even if its a different backpack

[lone valve]

Hell I went back one level
And got a cache so

Dazza should have it

[dull blaze]

I now have a different skinned memento

[lone valve]

Woah

Pic?

[hushed frigate]

I'm curious, what does it require for people to get an expertise compensation cache?

Someone who just started got one, I got absolutely nothing and I got set back from 14 to 7 xD

[elfin hazel]

if you leveled expertise through killing before the fix

[hushed frigate]

I did, most of it

[eager talon]

Woah 14 down to 7 thats massive

[keen osprey]

Same here @hushed frigate 16 to 11 lost 4 weapons at 15 and 16.

[elfin hazel]

scaled to how much you got rolled back I'm guessing

[desert crystal]

materials increased

[elfin hazel]

I am so tempted to just keep this damn cache in my inv

[hushed frigate]

How about they compensate everyone equally based on misery caused.

[elfin hazel]

its just really funny to look at something like that not on the PTS

[eager talon]

Too much expectation from Ubi in this case

[elfin hazel]

misery is subjective & case by case

[keen osprey]

Actually, my misery is being felt right now rather than when we were rolled back. I actually feel a bit pissed off with this game for the first time in ages (and that's me, who's normally pretty cheery despite the problems)

We will just have to pander them on twitter or make a ubi supporr ticket to be told its not possible to grant lol.

[elfin hazel]

itd be really hard unless they maxed everyones resources

which I don't think they want to do especially with the new cap

[eager talon]

I am not sure if everyone has gotten the same compensation

[thorny talon]

I hate the fact that i got all dispatch outfit items when its the one i dislike the most of all outfits

[eager talon]

Oh dang!

[elfin hazel]

ok yeah it is the same going off of my cache and the ones posted in #td2-build-advice

[eager talon]

Im short 75 exotic components dont care about the rest though.

[dull blaze]

They already said they cant compensate ppl precisely

Some1 is always gonna get the short end of the stick

[keen osprey]

Very difficult to determine loss of materials for those who went ham on it like yourself, I think they'd need to implement tracking on this stuff on an account basis.

[keen osprey]

I didn't even get to hold the stick. 😩

[thorny talon]

Too much for an old game

[elfin hazel]

its like 4 years old

its not that old

[eager talon]

Did they ever give us the twitch drops? I cant recall if it was given

[keen osprey]

Siege is older than d2

[elfin hazel]

I believe they did yes

[keen osprey]

They can determine everything you've earned, done, purchased etc down to the last second on the clock.

[elfin hazel]

going off of the 2 exotic caches I had in my mailbox & the legacy apparel cache key I cant even use

[keen osprey]

I wonder what the compensation for conflict will be

[eager talon]

Oh okay lol

[thorny talon]

Siege is a money magnet unlike d2

[elfin hazel]

that doesn't just mean its not possible for them to track info about a players character

telemetry in games is like super common

[civic spruce]

Holy shit, 4 mins in and crashed!

[keen osprey]

Interesting profile picture

[thorny talon]

Check #unofficial-troubleshooting

[desert crystal]

I found if you turn of high memory fetures on discord it lowers the used memory

[hushed frigate]

ok, so apparently, when at 50 stacks with bluescreen, and a marked target dies, it consumes the 50 stacks

[fair lake]

A friend of mine says, the resource cap was increased to 9999 and to 1000 for shd calibrators and field data. Is it true?

[elfin hazel]

yes

[fair lake]

👍

[desert crystal]

Shouldn’t the matterial caches be level 40

[elfin hazel]

the one they gave out doesnt need to be

[desert crystal]

how come

[elfin hazel]

set amount of resources given so level doesn't factor into it at all

[vapid crypt]

So on the Caches page, all the options are greyed out, some I can't even do

I have to switch over to another section to back out of the menu lmao

[desert crystal]

so your saying for resources level doesn’t matter

[elfin hazel]

yes

[desert crystal]

so the resources are the same at any level then

[eager talon]

Yes, the compensation they have given is the same for everyone

[warped sandal]

Ngl going back into the game in wony feels weird

[elfin hazel]

yes resources dont change

[warped sandal]

I used the boost and the game defaulted to 4 dmg and 2 shield

[desert crystal]

thats what I meant

so level 1 resources are the same as level 40 then

[elfin hazel]

yes

[warped sandal]

Yes

[wraith frost]

Maintenance notes said they added backpacks to the event, what’s that about?

[elfin hazel]

the backpack apparels for the event were glitched & just added now

basically just another transmog thing psure

[wraith frost]

Oh ok, thanks

[warped sandal]

Damn

[warped sandal]

Bro you just reminded me that destiny 2 only got transmog past a few months in beyond light

[real locust]

has xp been increased or something?

i just got like 2 levels from 1 dz extraction

[elfin hazel]

don't believe so

[warped sandal]

Im allowed to romote my clan more than once right?

[inland saddle]

What i need to do for farm dress évent ?

[elfin hazel]

anything

you get 1 key every 4 levels

[warped sandal]

Wasnt it every 3?

[elfin hazel]

before it was yes but they increased it this time

[inland saddle]

Ok , heroic with directives is good ;) thks

[warped sandal]

I see

Also i might be thinking about summit keys being every 3 floors lol, got confused

[elfin hazel]

make sure to check the 2nd floor as well cus those are every 2-3 floors

[warped sandal]

Yeah, albeit im not that focused on getung the chest exo, mostly just saying it cause i was confusing both

[elfin hazel]

yea

[past zinc]

Gear dyes just make the new bag skins blank or grey

[minor forge]

where do i see witch stronghold is invaded? trying to do stage 5 of the technician quest 😦

[warped sandal]

If it has a red symbol, its invaded

[elfin hazel]

its currently the capitol building

[minor forge]

the red triangle with a skull?

[elfin hazel]

yes

[minor forge]

alright , so i need to do the 3 invaded missions to do the stronghold afterwards?

[elfin hazel]

yea

[minor forge]

alright tyvm

[tender wave]

Make sure you set the difficulty to Hard or above once you unlock it

[minor forge]

yeah , but can i run the missions on normal difficult to unluck capitol?

[fervent berry]

I'm still getting Mike-01 when trying to log into Xbox. Did I manage to pull the shortest straw here?

[tight creek]

hey guys i just clicked on the mailbox deliveries to place the items into inventory and cant find it anywhere? any ideas where to look

[stray egret]

It has been one hour and already had only 3 crashes! Neato

[elfin hazel]

should be right of your gloves but it could also be the apparel cache keys

[tight creek]

found now thanks

[static vine]

If you pick up an Exotic weapon in a heroic mission is it generally "fully upgraded"? I get the option to buy some crafting recipes from the crafting lady that mentions something about +250 gear score?

[elfin hazel]

on heroic the rolls should be decently high & those blueprints are for recalibrating them to hopefully be higher rolled

you're normally better off optimizing it if its close to being maxed out

[static vine]

I picked up a Mantis sniper that only has like 356k damage, that seems low for a bolt action sniper?

Is it just a terrible roll?

Or a terrible weapon in general.

[elfin hazel]

mantis is good whats the core attribute rolls

[tropic compass]

Darn nice change to material cap

[rich shadow]

its an awesome weapon, as long as you have the right build for it

[kind ridge]

I noticed an interesting change that the cap of amount of materials owned increaded to 9,999, SHD calibration and field recon data increaded to 1,000.

[static vine]

Do you have a build available perhaps? I tried a pulse/decoy build with Ace-set.

[vapid light]

How many directives should I put on for the XP farm? I had 4 on and only got like 300k XP in summit

[rich shadow]

Check the pinned builds spreadsheet in the build advice channel

[static vine]

496.k damage, 15% marksman rifle damage, 101% headshot damage & 9% damage target out of cover.

[elfin hazel]

yeah thats really good I'd suggest optimizing it

sounds like 1-2 rolls away for HSD & 1 roll away for DTOC

[azure lintel]

3 or 4 Ace, serial killer chest, 1 airaldi (+1 Providence if only 3 Ace)

[elfin hazel]

yeah I'd suggest the aces & 8s build on the spreadsheet

if you dont like/care for the 4pc for aces just go for contractors gloves with HSD rolled on them just as good if not better

wait a minute............

I wonder who this nug fellow that its attached to is.........

I'm drawing a blank

[azure lintel]

my mantis shows with: 918k dmg, 45 chc, 57 chd and 291 hsd

[lone valve]

https://twitter.com/yannickbch/status/1534860749473996800?t=IeQtsi1bio6_65H49CUqaA&s=19

So it's a permanent change the uncapping of mats

Very nice

[elfin hazel]

WIN

[elfin hazel]

I hope you are happy dazza

[azure lintel]

https://tenor.com/view/teletubbies-dipsy-teletubby-christmas-christmas-dance-gif-16022383

[elfin hazel]

This was done for this Expertise & Conflict compensation rollout specifically, but you can expect an increase of the cap for all the crafting and optimisation materials in the future as part of our mission to implement continuing quality of life improvements.

oh my goodness gracious oh good heavens oh my days n all that

[oblique chasm]

Well i certainly wasn't expecting Teletubbie gifs this morning

[oblique chasm]

https://tenor.com/view/seven-brad-pitt-box-whats-in-the-box-gif-3386206

[vapid light]

I mean

It said “granting 1 cache for every 20 levels lost”

So it’s not for everyone

I guess the resources cap being increased was nice tho

[dull blaze]

How bad is the hb nerf?

[oblique chasm]

HB changes confirmed by yannick, changed the stacks from multiplicative to additve

[azure lintel]

we added those to the patch notes as well

[oblique chasm]

additive

[fervent berry]

Additive damage is okay, you just need more of them now

[vapid light]

Hahaha! We all knew they’d change it

Looks like the fun is over

Sigh.. back to my hunters fury set

[oblique chasm]

never tried it, no lost for me

[vapid light]

Big loss for me

[reef reef]

Even with the changes its still a fine set. Now its not broken, just nice.

[vapid light]

Oh whatever

[oblique chasm]

just a shame the league stuff didnt happen today after the changes

[fervent berry]

HB could've had the Intimidate treatment, so it could've been much worse, I guess

[elfin hazel]

this is probably the best case nerf that could have happened to it

[haughty summit]

Sad now that I probably can't solo rush heroic with it anymore lmao

[vapid light]

Pft

[haughty summit]

Was fun while it lasted

[vapid light]

^^^

[fervent berry]

With this update, was the "floating mag" texture bug also fixed?

[desert crystal]

so because i was still on experties 0 will I probably have nothing then

[keen osprey]

Yes

You had to have lost expertise levels plus upgrades.

If you were even on say expertise level 3 or 4 and had an item upgraded to level 4 and brought back down to 2 you will receive one cache.

[desert crystal]

so because i was still on 0 I wouldn’t had been given anything

[keen osprey]

Oh absolutely

One less reason to worry about deconstructing now. I was always hitting the cap on protective fabric and receiver comps. Lovely change, but perhaps if it wasn't for this compensation rollout we would still have the caps. They were pretty indecisive on the increase to exotic comps and printer fils during the pts testing.

[desert crystal]

im less likely to have a resource cache then

[dull blaze]

Why would u not wanna raise the cap anyways, it’s the biggest qol update we could get

What’s the downside

[elfin hazel]

it stunts grinding

[dull blaze]

It’s just more of a hassle having to dismantle your whole inv in sections to not go over the cap

[elfin hazel]

lower cap = need for grinding

[dull blaze]

Nah u just spend more time in the boo

[haughty summit]

There's one in the summit and haven lol

[desert crystal]

What

[haughty summit]

Expertise table

Or rather recal station

[keen osprey]

Whats everyone's thoughts on the vanity backpacks? I like them. Definitely a nice addition to the transmog system. Alot less "brand related" now. They tell the story of the apparel that's associated with them.

[reef reef]

I've not logged in, are they a new slot, or appearance transmogs for gear?

[keen osprey]

No new slot but they appear as purple rarity at the top of the backpack appearance slot.

[cinder dock]

whats this update about

[keen osprey]

https://discussions.ubisoft.com/topic/160127/completed-maintenance-june-9th-2022-updated-june-9th-2022-12-15pm-cest?lang=en-US

• the compensation grant for conflict and expertise

[cinder dock]

cheers dazza

fat L for my red roll HB build ;-;

[woeful ether]

where's the patch note for this 3.6 G.B?

[cinder dock]

just above my text dazza sent it in

[woeful ether]

oh , okey 😄

i duno how can this small patch be 3.6 g.b but okey

[azure lintel]

Wowee, they actually nerfed HB

[timber hatch]

they brought it back to where it was in pts1 when they said it was where they wanted

[azure lintel]

Have to say, the amount of blue armour pips I would see on some folks in Countdown was hilarious to me

Sat at the back sniping, and getting my shield stripped by a gust of wind

[hybrid ore]

I'm looking around and can't find them, any chance they need to be collected first?

[past zinc]

Try to mod your bag appearance

[hybrid ore]

🤦‍♀️, never would've thought of that option.
any actual answers or is it just bugged?

[past zinc]

So does every player get 1 compensation cache or it depends on how many items lost lvls?

[azure lintel]

I hope it's got steel in it 😬 for reasons that aren't entirely clear, I seem to have about 30 steel

[dull blaze]

U need to complete sets

[primal willow]

i have a regulus shown in experties upgrade option......which i cannot see in my stash...is it a Delusional.

[pallid fiber]

some times my firefly wont notice or tasrget a bunch of enemys,.. whats up with that

[azure lintel]

sus

A Delusional would be a cool weapon. It would cause enemies to get confused and shoot at each other

[tender wave]

One per 20 levels of item upgrades lost (rounded up, so if you only lost one level on an item you'll still get 1 cache)

[haughty summit]

If the first of the chain dies then the firefly will just nope itself out

[pallid fiber]

its targeting

i cant get the white cross but i hadnt noticed it doing that thanks

[primal willow]

anyone?

[azure lintel]

Shows everything buddy, whether you can upgrade it or not

[primal willow]

it was a delusional ...

[azure lintel]

I don't think Delusional is the right word you're looking for. What are you trying to say?

[primal willow]

i wish i had regulus when i checked the stash...when i saw it on the experties..

[keen osprey]

I'm seeing some not receiving them either. They're collection completion rewards so only granted after you collect items. I've not finished the sets yet but unlocked one in similar fashion as previous events- with the little set complete animation (like the gear dyes in the past). It was said that they'd be instantly unlocked

[next atlas]

best named weapon farm?

[azure lintel]

Hunters, Countdown

[pallid fiber]

i know what he means like using high volume sound on ppl

disorentation ?

[next atlas]

thanks

[dull blaze]

Hb still slaps no worries

[haughty summit]

Gotta be patient and wait till it's finished beeping

[lone valve]

I stg I was noticing that my HB set wasn't doing nearly as much damage as before
Good to have confirmation

[autumn furnace]

its in the patch notes.....

Heartbreaker Damage Bonus has been changed to be additive instead of multiplicative.
This will result in a noticeable drop in damage at high stacks.
Heartbreaker Stacks no longer apply when hitting skill proxy enemies.

[vapid light]

Hmm, ok. Nvm then.

[autumn furnace]

best thing is still : This was done for this Expertise & Conflict compensation rollout specifically, but you can expect an increase of the cap for all the crafting and optimisation materials in the future as part of our mission to implement continuing quality of life improvements.

woop woop cap increase in the future

[dull blaze]

Hb damage is half of what it was

Still doing 1m crits

[azure lintel]

Which is nuts, considering I'm only doing 2.5 with an M1A and about half the armour

[rich shadow]

got a link to those patch notes?

[autumn furnace]

https://discord.com/channels/477210626742288384/489377254833651714

[gleaming flame]

I’m a division 1 player and thinking of picking up division 2, assume I have all the DLC and I want to get to endgame as fast as possible, how long would it take me to get there

[autumn furnace]

do you wanna play lvl 1-30

or skip into the expansion to endgame

[gleaming flame]

Skip to endgame

[autumn furnace]

then its about 2h

then you are 40 and can start the grind

[gleaming flame]

Would I be better off doing 1-30 or can I skip it and be fine

[azure lintel]

I mean, technically endgame would be completing the story. So a couple of hours to a day maybe?
Or getting into the endgame by being ready for Legendaries and Raids? Because I don't think that's really answerable - there's RNG, there's a matter of setting up a bunch of builds that works for you, there's SHD levels

[gleaming flame]

Yeah mostly legendaries and raids or getting to the point I can farm for the gear I want

[rich shadow]

Cheers

[dull blaze]

Hb with memento is very good now god damn

[terse dirge]

did they said they nerfed something at all with today's patch

cause I am dealing much less damage compared to yesterday

[dull blaze]

Ye they nerfed hb

[untold steppe]

HB’s damage increase is additive instead of multiplicative.

[azure lintel]

Farming for the gear you want, is probably getting to 40, then farming Countdown for a while to get yourself a decent crit build and a decent skill one. Doing some of the weekly challenges (the exotic one definitely) and some of the exotic quests. I mean, that's entirely down to how much spare time you have. I feel like getting ready for Legendaries took me about six months

[gleaming flame]

💀 oh Christ

[azure lintel]

Don't let that put you off. There's probably a lot of folks here that are way more economical with their time, that took one or two

[pallid fiber]

@haughty summiti didnt have sound on loud enough aapperently to hear the firefly beeping ill slip on headers now & turn sound up TY

[azure lintel]

You're going to want to find a good, active clan with decent folks that live relatively close to you geographically. That was probably the most difficult single thing to achieve, it makes the world of difference having a good team to do all these things with you

[alpine tiger]

Heartbreaker worth using now ?

[autumn furnace]

if you like less dmg...sure

[azure lintel]

It's allegedly very good with Memento still, if that helps any Bilal

[alpine tiger]

How % lower ?

[autumn furnace]

Damage nerf is (2.7-2) / 2.7 = 0.26, about 26% damage nerf

[nova coyote]

Anyone facing the "connecting to Tom Clancy's division 2 online services" screen after the maintenance?

[alpine tiger]

For survive sure but dont know how it lower now dmg as percentage at full stack

[wise basalt]

@nova coyote stuck right now

[nova coyote]

Yes I'm facing the same issue

[wise basalt]

now its going

[autumn furnace]

Yep, each stack was multiplicative with every other stack. It has now been changed back to the way it was in PTS1, so now all stacks are added up, then that number is an amp. Yannicks tweet isn't 100% clear about that, but that is currently how it's working. So before being at 100 stacks was a 2.7x multiplier, it's now a 2x multiplier. And for reference, strikers at 100 stacks is a 1.64x multiplier.

So just to get ahead of anyone whose going to complain about this "nerf", it's only bringing HB back to where it originally started, and it's still so strong it makes strikers still useless.

[alpine tiger]

26% not much think still good

[autumn furnace]

sure its still good and surpasses striker

[nova coyote]

Yea mine just loaded too.

[balmy tapir]

So they gave us clothes and killed the hb set.... cool

[wide condor]

yeah stuck at 0% on long time, also had several freezes during startup (at snowdrop logo etc) and game has crashed like 4x so far lol, also now the game takes very long time to start

[nova coyote]

Yep. Same here

[wide condor]

and it crashed again yay lmao

[nova coyote]

Bro I'm just glad it's not me alone lol

[wide condor]

but i mostly noticed it takes a lot longer to actually get the game to load like from EAC screen to actual game

[fair lake]

They removed hydden gloves (good), but didn't make Badger Named Crafting Holster separated from badger brand (not good)

[autumn furnace]

most likely thats just EAC updated to latest detection of bypasses

[pallid fiber]

compensation rolled out looks good

[wide condor]

every single launch?

[azure lintel]

And I thought I was going crazy

Shit takes ages to boot up now

[autumn furnace]

it checks ur drive every single launch^^

[wide condor]

there is zero disk activity

[haughty summit]

if that's the case other game would impact too

[wide condor]

at this point the game is unplayable again for me

[autumn furnace]

its just checking the integrity of the dll files ...so not much of shown activity

[dull blaze]

So uhm, im trying to gain shepard ranks after u did the first lvl u only get story lvl missions u can help in?

[fiery cloud]

Hey Rendy0

[haughty summit]

no u

[pallid fiber]

its your video

[wide condor]

so far its been just 4 minutes and it finally got to char select screen

[pallid fiber]

check your video card hasnt come loose or is over heating

i used to have this issue

[autumn furnace]

hopefuly its just this one time....but eac can be quite the slow downer

[wide condor]

cpu/gpu temps arent the problem, i just played bl3 before this which has more gpu load compared to this

[rich shadow]

I think the heartbreaker set is much more balanced now than previously.

It's still maybe a tad OP but nothing like it was

[autumn furnace]

always had division2 and EAC on a single partition, to stop eac to look at other stuff...

[wise basalt]

they increase the basic mats cap to 9999?

[autumn furnace]

just for now

[wise basalt]

when will get changed back?

[autumn furnace]

when u reach ur original cap again

you still cant pick up stuff until you hit your orig cap

oh...no..its really 9999 atm

Ooooooo

thats nice : This was done for this Expertise & Conflict compensation rollout specifically, but you can expect an increase of the cap for all the crafting and optimisation materials in the future as part of our mission to implement continuing quality of life improvements.
But its unclear until this cap increase will last

[wise basalt]

not complaining about this

[azure lintel]

Its permanent
