td2-general-chat

[slender laurel]

They dont reward spec points when replayed...

[fervent berry]

Oh well I guess my memory is a peanut. Can't recall things now. Need more sleep 😂

[frozen meadow]

invaded does, normal missions dont

if im not mistaken, only bounties and projects do

let me double check with a spare character

[slender laurel]

Daily and weekly projects.

[frozen meadow]

right

[frozen meadow]

yeah this is correct

[fiery cloud]

got 2 of 4 league done before work

hey Eevee

[tropic compass]

Anyone else got the unknown: secret service echo?

Cause i just found it

[fiery cloud]

where

[tender wave]

I think summit challenges might

[fiery cloud]

Hey Kettle

[tender wave]

hey saph

[slender laurel]

Summit weekly project to.

[tropic compass]

In that building west of the White House. It ain't new cause I checked on division 2 maps

[slender laurel]

The black tusk echo?

[tropic compass]

Yeah

[slender laurel]

Somewhere near white house

[rose merlin]

your nickname is what aaron keener would say.

[slender laurel]

Lol

Yeah, Keener is a name for my character I made, that isnt division related..

[minor yacht]

Lol

[slender laurel]

😅

[slender laurel]

I speed run Roosevelt island 14:04

New personal record.

[fervent berry]

Nice, now aim for 13:59

[modern sundial]

i missed the season for memento backpack it should be in gen loot pool but i only get acosta anyone know why

[slender laurel]

Backpack target loot.

Countdown, Summit or lvl 4 cps.

[plush otter]

rng will rng, just unlucky sofar, just keep at it, you will get one eventually

[modern sundial]

so it dont matter i never aquired it

[hybrid ore]

No.
all the Season Pass Exotics are now in the general loot pool.

[modern sundial]

so yea just unlucky then been trying a solid 2 weeks now

[hybrid ore]

Just set the TL in Countdown to Backpacks, you'll get one before too long.

[hushed hawk]

Wohoo, new record, 4 freeze-crashes in 30 minutes

[weary oyster]

Make that 15

[desert crystal]

whats this about

[desert crystal]

do you have discord open at the same time

[hushed hawk]

Yes

Like most nowadays

Just saw a guy with SHD level 67k

alright

[lavish frost]

that guy is an actual sewer rat

[hushed hawk]

How so?

[hushed hawk]

What does this mean?

[lavish frost]

he has nothing else better to do

[hushed hawk]

Even so, 67k is commitment

[fervent berry]

Well, I saw one who was SHD level 1 yesterday from a heroic mission and I dropped a Bullet King for them.

They should have grown to SHD 1000 by now

[hushed hawk]

It's not that easy

[royal whale]

67K is kinda low tbh but in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king

[hushed hawk]

If it doesn't reach 100k, it's not high enough, I get it

Anyway, funny to see that even someone with such a high SHD also just runs HB

[fervent berry]

Probably cheesed F10 tactics just because

Or maybe it's the gaming chair

[celest mango]

guys what is the most active darkzone?

[coarse turret]

Just landed in DC, time to play for real

[lavish frost]

ive experience taht dz east is the most active

[feral agate]

I have a question about Playstation clans may I ask here ?

Please @ me for response

[celest mango]

rly? it was completely empty

wb west?

[tender notch]

@feral agate ask away, what is your question?

[feral agate]

I'm looking to alliance up with clans on Playstation

Just wanted to ask please don't ban or kick me I was unsure to ask or not

[reef reef]

As long as you read and follow the rules in #rules, you wont get banned man

[trail sandal]

Anybody know if kenley is open

[lavish frost]

Yeah, the times ive been in it and beens been for the past 3 days

its been the most active for me

[reef reef]

but to answer your question, #td2-clan-recruitment is the place to look for clans

[celest mango]

thanks

[tender notch]

to add to that, it was just a simple question 😛 no ban for legit questions. . also youd have to DM the clans to see if they are interested (best bet IMHO)

[feral agate]

Thanks to you and @reef reef

[quasi cypress]

Kenley was open last week @trail sandal

[trail sandal]

Ahh ok. Im not a huge fan of kenley but my friend LOVES it we can never tell him when it’s open cause we all get dragged into it 😂 but I do enjoy it just I prefer other things

[azure lintel]

I want you to tell your friend to add me

him and i are gonna rush the sh*t out of it, i love kenley

[quasi cypress]

I believe it coincides with the manhunt targets so it'll be open when the next target is available

[trail sandal]

LMAO are you on Xbox?

[azure lintel]

ah f*ck nevermind, i'm PC

[trail sandal]

F

[frozen meadow]

there aint one

[quasi cypress]

Whichever dz is invaded is usually the most active

[frozen meadow]

^

[lilac elbow]

Hey guys, I got all 5 parts of ridgeway but how do I unlock it?

No blueprint

[frozen meadow]

you get the blueprint once you send off the flare at floor 100

@lilac elbow

[lilac elbow]

ooh, so I have to finish 100 again?

[frozen meadow]

ye

[lilac elbow]

Anyone here near 100 floor?😭

[frozen meadow]

lol my first ascension which was week 1 took like 16 hours

[lilac elbow]

ikr

Normal is ok just to get blueprint so it will not be that hard

[frozen meadow]

before they updated it, it was difficult af

i honestly wish they kept the old system

it was better :(

[quasi cypress]

I didn't time it but we did the whole thing on legendary at launch. I think we split it across 2 days

[lilac elbow]

So now its not that difficult?

Are u guys on floor100? or nearing

[frozen meadow]

no its not

its far easier

[quasi cypress]

I only have a 10 checkpoint

[frozen meadow]

1-10 normal
11-20 hard
21-30 challenging
31-40 challenging 1 directive
41-50 challenging 3 directive
51-60 heroic
61-70 heroic 1 directive
71-80 heroic 3 directive
81-90 legendary 1 directive
91-100 legendary 3 directive

correct me if im wrong

[lilac elbow]

yikes directive on those hunters?

[frozen meadow]

yeah back in the day you had only 3 directive legendary hunters

[lilac elbow]

i was having hard time on normal haha

[frozen meadow]

if you wiped you went back to the 1/4/7/0 floors

[lilac elbow]

pfttt

[frozen meadow]

and you could only start a summit run at the sets i list above, you could only start at 1/11/21/31 etc.

all were unlocked by defauly except for heroic 1/3 and legendary 1/3

[lilac elbow]

eveee

[frozen meadow]

yo

[lilac elbow]

what floor are u on now?

[frozen meadow]

havent done summit in forever hell do i know

[lilac elbow]

im still newbie though 162 shd lvl

[frozen meadow]

have you been doing summit solely for the chest

[shut silo]

just got back on

[frozen meadow]

flimsy kinsy

[frozen meadow]

hb is busted

[azure lintel]

I'd be that kind of guy, hb is fun

Plus i'm too lazy to farm for gearsets...

[frozen meadow]

I shouldn't be getting 15m dps with 3 blues

[rare igloo]

the invaded dz is the most active but id say most people are usually at dz south checkpoint bravo

im in the dz alot and usually i see the same people poppin up in different dz's

[rugged hatch]

Matchmaking in this game is a joke, always seem to get people that just have no idea wtf to do.

It's always these people with really high shd levels that seem to think they know it all and always mess up.

[bleak crow]

High SHD level doesn't mean they are experienced. They may have levelled up with floor 10 runs, convoy runs, etc. I also levelled up with runs

[rugged hatch]

I'm finding it hard to believe that every single high shd person in matchmaking is inexperienced.

[azure lintel]

I know it's not the right channel, but i try to go to Ubisoft Club and i get a warning saying that it's not a secure website

[dry ridge]

Hey does anybody know if i can use keyboard and mouse on the ps4 version?

[summer totem]

what's the best way to get "the gift' backpack

I tried targeting the providence loot but still after many days, no drops

[reef reef]

it is a DZ exclusive backpack

you wont see it in countdown or summit

[summer totem]

ohh

so how should i farm it? just go straigth into DZ?

or should i wait until the targeted loot is providence?

[tight ermine]

You can also farm countdown and try your luck with named caches.

[summer totem]

so u can get it in named cache even though its DZ exclusive?

[reef reef]

named caches are a seperate source that has all of the named items in it, DZ locked and non-DZ named items

[modest lintel]

They need to fix dz targeted loot first. Since tu15.1, they messed up.

[granite zephyr]

I hate how in both Div1 and 2 , there's no perfect outfit set

You have to mix and match

[safe flume]

@modest lintel Couldn't agree more!

Is okay to complain about our buggy hardcore here? almost loose my agent to freeze fail

[azure lintel]

legendary missions outfit in Division 2

[granite zephyr]

Me just rocking the lmb officer outfit mixed with the normal lmb outfit

[azure lintel]

LMB outfits were great, including the helmet...

I love to wear LMB based outfits in Div 1, while on Div 2 i prefer Black tusk or white tusk

[crystal tiger]

I’m all about that Rogue Agent feel. Makes me feel fast, agile, and well it’s stylish

[crystal pivot]

ok soo here is the chat

been fun guys,if u need 1 ppl u can just ping me here

[summer totem]

where should i farm memento?

[proper fiber]

Based and Black Tusk pilled.

[hybrid ore]

There's 2 locations, same as 90% of loot in div2.

Countdown.```

[strange pollen]

I'm going to go out on a limb and say, the apparel event is bugged, I'm not receiving any event caches, or am I missing a new change they did with the event? As far as I can remember, every 4 SHD levels you get one right? I've gone up 20, haven't received one besides the free one you get

[oblique chasm]

its ended

think you can redeem caches, but cant earn

[strange pollen]

So closing means 'ended'?

[hybrid ore]

You can open the "Season Menu" when you press escape and see what Event is active and when it's no longer active.

[crystal pivot]

any mission or sector that have backpacks as target loot...also in summit

[torn flame]

Hey guys

Starting out a first save on pc, ultimate edition cus ubisoft+, anyone got advice?

[oblique chasm]

have fun

[torn flame]

That is the number 1 rule

[summer totem]

look up on youtube on what u need to do to prevent it from crashing

[torn flame]

The game will crash?

[desert crystal]

Mine doesn’t

[torn flame]

What are some good builds for when i start

When i played on ps4 i just chose whatever made me stronger

[desert crystal]

you do no if you turn of most of the discord game overlay it reduces the discord memory down to nothing

[summer totem]

i hate it when people just leave from countdown session half-way for no reason. THey purposly left, not disconnected

[oblique chasm]

Can we get a coconut clapping emote, like in the Holy Grail.

[fervent berry]

We need an NPC to follow us around with them coconuts.

[oblique chasm]

and then a donkey suit

[fervent berry]

It would be entirely hilarious if there was a recording of NPCs talking about shrubbery. 😂

[oblique chasm]

Hahaha

[rare igloo]

why does almost everyone on div 2 hate the dz lol

[tender wave]

Because it's the favourite place of griefers and trolls

[dire iris]

Attracts the most toxic people

[rare igloo]

idk ig i just find joy in the toxicity

shitting on kids after they just called me multiple racial slurs makes me happy

[oblique chasm]

you answered your own question

[haughty summit]

because you can get betrayed so bad

or camped to no end

but if you have the right mindset it's not too bad (also if the target loot also doesn't bug)

[dire iris]

Yup i guess part of the fun is hearing the "banter" if you can call it that lol
But i put voices on mute and it's pvp time

[low lily]

Dark zone let's people be who they really are and like we can see, people mainly are c*nts 🤣🤣

[viscid cargo]

I STG 30 MIN OF PLAY 3 CRASHES

what is happening to my game?

[oblique chasm]

Shout some more, it'll help

[viscid cargo]

just needed to do that short rant

im annoyed cause i was mid countdown

[desert crystal]

did you crash or delta

[granite zephyr]

Ran survival, feels good

Killed 6 hunters

[oblique chasm]

survivals back in div2?

[granite zephyr]

Div 1 ,had to go back after 2 years

[oblique chasm]

survival came out nearly 6 years ago, man has time flown

[granite zephyr]

Yes

Also idk why people say hunters are hard mjne, I missed a shock grenade throw, it dodged into it

High end Sniper headshot go pew pew

[summer totem]

ugh ive been trying to get ceska chest with red core and attribute but it keeps giving me the opposite

[oblique chasm]

What's the opposite of red?

[granite zephyr]

Blue

Jk

[tender wave]

green

(blue & yellow)

[oblique chasm]

On a colour wheel sure

ceska with green core, keep it, it sounds rare

[hybrid ore]

1 colourblind Armour roll, coming right up.

[oblique chasm]

Didn;t even think of the colour blind options

[granite zephyr]

Guys, div 2 survival when?

[zinc shadow]

never

[granite zephyr]

You have no gear, only armed with a pistol, no hud and hunters are the main enemy that appear everywhere

When you win
Ubisoft:One Superior item, take it or leave

[tender wave]

they've stated they won't introduce survival unless they're sure they can make it better than the Div1 version (subtext: it's not going to happen)

[granite zephyr]

Abandon division 2

Remaster Division 1 with more content

[summer totem]

for tsunami build what talent should i use for my ceska chest?

[granite zephyr]

Next thing we know there will be another faction thats stronger than the division

Called the Multiplication

Big brain

[oblique chasm]

That's a new one

[robust inlet]

man i wanna buy WONY for a buddy of mine who doesn't have it, but Epic doesn't allow for gifting stuff to friends

[granite zephyr]

Stem

Steam*

[robust inlet]

Division 2 isn't on steam

[granite zephyr]

F

Maybe try origin?

[robust inlet]

ew

i don't touch origin with a 12 foot garbage pole.

[granite zephyr]

Or just gift a gift card to buddy

[robust inlet]

besides i don't think he has it on origin

[oblique chasm]

just buy a digital code

[robust inlet]

i guess that could work

[granite zephyr]

Gift card is better cus they can do what they want with mone

More choice

Or if you want to force them to play it with you, gift them a code of the WONY

Problem solved

[robust inlet]

i'm forcing them to play it with me

i buy them games and force them to play

he doesn't like it but he doesn't have a say in how i get to spend my large amounts of dosh

[granite zephyr]

Time to go back to survival and betray people in pvp

[robust inlet]

i miss survival

really wish that gamemode would come back

[oblique chasm]

you could set up a GMG account link to your buddies uplay account and boom

[granite zephyr]

I commited a Faye Lau to one agent today

He left cus I betrayed him at the extraction pad

[azure lintel]

no :(

[robust inlet]

maaaannn

[robust inlet]

best place to buy a digi code that isn't G2A as G2A is a bad website GO

[granite zephyr]

Me:I see another hunter!
Team-mate:where?!
Me:leaves group and aims high end sniper with 2700 fire arms at him -

[oblique chasm]

They're all dodgy af

[granite zephyr]

You know what's good in survival?

[robust inlet]

valid

[granite zephyr]

Rolling a high end sniper with the perk that blinds enemies on headshot

[oblique chasm]

#td1-general

[granite zephyr]

Don't forward me to a coffin bud

[oblique chasm]

Just lie down, it'll all be over soon

[granite zephyr]

No, our coffin.

[tulip sinew]

Just login with his account and buy it. Thats what a friend did for me

[granite zephyr]

Scramble all his gear sets

Recalibrate everythinf

[robust inlet]

that's what my buddy did for me

but he's on Uplay so i'm sending him a digi card

[tulip sinew]

Okay

Oh im sorry i missed the Epic part lol

[oblique chasm]

You're a good friend!

[lethal glacier]

@tender wave @azure lintel thank you, friends ❤️ ❤️

[viscid cargo]

are dz landmarks or cp4's faster for field recon data

[azure lintel]

So i have 2 maxed rolls lady death's
is the gun any good tho?

I never seen ANYONE use it, and the gun dropping seems very common

[reef reef]

Gun dropping commonly =/= bad gun

[fervent berry]

Lady Death is pretty cool, especially its very unique movement speed buff after kills. Hella cool.

[hybrid ore]

It's a lot of fun to use, but on the late end of the late game, it falls off pretty heavily.
a well stat'ed high-end (gold) SMG beats it.

[fiery cloud]

Hey Zephyr how youy flying

🤣 😱

[azure lintel]

I just tested Striker on PvP, got beaten by a Skill build only user
while i had 4 reds and 3 blues (memento backpack ofc)
with my guns being expertise 7....while he had none...

man i'm farming for Negotiator's Dilema, i simply want a build so i can defend myself from rogues and farm for System Corruption myself

[slender laurel]

Good afternoon fellow division agents...

[lethal glacier]

👋

[gentle kayak]

What’s the fastest why to increase proficiency level ?

[azure lintel]

Equip the gun/armor you have, and level up with it, like just complete missions to get much more

[gentle kayak]

I can’t upgrade my mask and guns until I get a higher level

I should’ve asked how to donate more stuff to increase the level of my bench

[tender wave]

run countdown with a weapon type target loot, donate all the gear that drops

[torn flame]

i am starting my first PC save, anyone got build recommendations because I have no friends who play this game and need something that removes the need for teammates

[tender wave]

there's a spreadsheet linked in the pinned messages in #td2-build-advice that has a good number of high-quality builds

[torn flame]

Thanks

is it pinned

[cunning idol]

ok, what's the countdown meta now? I've been kicked from my last 3 groups... just go after hunters?

[tender wave]

go after the countermeasures first (as a group), then follow the (hopefully one big) group and do a couple of the support objectives, the main objective and then the extraction. Bring a red DPS type build if possible.

[fervent berry]

The countdown meta is... NO VIP. 😂

[cunning idol]

that's gotta be it

[late finch]

Maybe I'm missing something. What benefit do you get from farming floor 10 if you are already at a high SHD (6500+)?

[torn flame]

if i join someones party and they start a mission i did without them will it allow me to replay

[tender wave]

EVEN MORE SHD!!!!

(maybe people just enjoy it? Maybe that's the way they reached that SHD level and don't actually know how to cope with other content?)

I ran a pug mission earlier with a couple of high shd players (10k & 12k) and got the distinct impression neither of them were actually very experienced at the game - both running heavy blue builds (one was actually a pulse-immune pvp build) and just charging in blocking everyones shots

[late finch]

Thanks for your thoughts.

[wraith current]

So you can just donate gear instead of just materials for expertise?

Like I dont even need to bother deconstructing gear I would donate?

[tender wave]

yeah, gear will only upgrade its own category of item but it's a lot cheaper than dismantling and using materials

[wraith current]

Ahhh ok. I've been just donating materials this whole time lmao

Good to know thanks

[tender wave]

weapons and named/exotic items only need 2 donations per proficiency level, while regular brandsets and gearsets need 10 per level

you can also just buy a bunch from a vendor and donate

[wraith current]

Oh man I've been making it take way longer than needed then it seems

I have so many credits too lol

I was running an m16 rifle with the rifleman talent a bit ago. That's not a bad little gun. Kinda fun to use

[tender wave]

personally I'd recommend buying named items from vendors where available (especially ones you don't want to use) to donate and farming for general weapon types (eg SMGs) to get those for donation

save the material donations for dz exclusives or other things you can't get to drop easily and don't want to use (also skills)

[wraith current]

I got a few crap roll named items I could donate in my stash I think

Some may be DZ ones too. I forget. I prolly got a couple extra

[alpine tiger]

Do shepherd rank worth playing ?

[wraith current]

Yea it can be fun helping others out on missions

Most of my Shepard rank comes from helping relatively new people run missions on like hard/challenging

[fervent berry]

Oh, I have fun helping others too, but nobody has ever given me a shepherd ranking 😂

[wraith current]

Really? I'll usually here ISAAC say I ranked up even before the mission ends lol

[fervent berry]

In fact, I saw one who had rank 57 yesterday during a random matchmaking sesh, and I thought that fella is either very popular or very cheesy

[wraith current]

Lol I would imagine there is some cheese there

[fervent berry]

I can't be bothered with it. I'll be waiting for backup requests but never receive any. It's discouraging.

[wraith current]

True. A lot of times I'm too late to the call as well so I'll drop what I was already doing for nothing

I also like to watch videos when I play and I'll close out of them on a backup request to make sure I'm not lagging or making them lag.

Cus my internet sucks

[fervent berry]

Bah, you keep watching those videos anyway. Who needs proper internet connections anyway?

[wraith current]

I legit say that to myself sometimes lmao

[fervent berry]

• says the guy who has pristine internet connection then gets DC'd with Delta errors, rip

[peak crypt]

lol

[wraith current]

It happens to the best of us. RIP everyone's hardcore characters lol

I would love to start another HC agent too but ain't wasting my time again cus of DCs lol

[fervent berry]

I've never played HC but I can imagine the frustrations when you lose your toon due to uncontrolled errors.

[wraith current]

Yea it can be pretty frustrating. I didnt make it too far before a DC screwed me at least. I'm sure others have had it much worse lol

Oh I've been wondering. Is there anything I'm missing by only having one agent? I wouldn't mind starting a new one even not hardcore if so.

[lament mirage]

Howdy @tender wave

[tender wave]

hey riri

[desert crystal]

what errors

[tender wave]

crashes, deltas

if they hit while you're anywhere near combat, you usually end up dead when you get back in the game

although a clan member did report recently crashing while mid CP-takeover, and when they got back in their character was still alive and all the enemy npcs were dead

[torn flame]

is there any newbie friendly clans

[desert crystal]

are you new then

[torn flame]

yes

[tender wave]

#td2-clan-recruitment

[torn flame]

thanks

[celest mango]

hey guys i just got the ny expansion

how can i get a rly good weapon there?

and also efter im done with the dlc will all the gear and weapons remain?

[azure lintel]

how rare is it to drop exotics in the open world on normal difficulty

[tender wave]

like the base game story mode, any weapons you get as you level up will become useless after gaining a level or two, so just run with whatever you find until you hit level 40 - then you can scrap anything lower level and start farming for decent gear

[celest mango]

ok thanks

just curious is it possible to reach lvl 40 without the ny dlc?

[wheat zinc]

No

[terse dirge]

Little PSA bug I just encountered, I am pretty sure it is not common but rn I am looking at a loot pile and I can't see the named item indicator even tho there is a named item on the pile

so be careful while deleting/looting as junk cause this bug might also occur to you guys too and you might miss some good loot

[oak geode]

Guess how is (kinda) back with a new tool

https://mxswat.github.io/td2-expertise-calculator/

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/vpauce/webbased_expertiseproficiency_xp_and_items/

[river comet]

Hate to be that guy but it’s this game worth jumping back into in your opinion. I’m hearing very mixed results online some ppl say yes some ppl say it’s kinda of lack lustre when if comes to content

[oak geode]

It depends, what are you looking for?

[river comet]

Just to play and have a good time really. I usually play all game modes and missions

[oak geode]

Then yes

Always worth a good time shooting stuff with the mates

[torn flame]

when a random player you met gives some of his spare old gear but you need 31 more levels to equip:

[tender wave]

he's investing in your future

[torn flame]

yessir

he gave me a gold revolver that does 193k damage

wait.. if i start the warlords of new york expansion so it boosts me will it not let me play the original story

[tender wave]

No, it marks it all as completed

[torn flame]

damn

[tender wave]

You can rerun the main missions later but you get less story from them, and you miss the side missions completely

[torn flame]

when do i get to enter those PVP zones with cool loot

the DZ's

[tender wave]

Once you unlock the dz npc during the story

The loot isn't actually any better than elsewhere though, excluding a few named items you can't get except in the dz

[torn flame]

wait so whats good about the DZ

[tender wave]

Most players don't actually like the dz much

It's mostly home to griefers and cheaters

[torn flame]

i guess i never had to worry about cheaters in the DZ when this game released and i played on ps4 lol

[leaden totem]

Anyone know which ars and smgs have the best optimal range?

Meaning the most consistent damage without any damage dropoff at range

[wet igloo]

The famas?

Ever try that?

[leaden totem]

Tried famas but don't remember what my opinion on it was

[fervent berry]

I personally prefer Police M4 over FAMAS

[wet igloo]

Especially pyromaniac

[molten herald]

anyone have tips for heroic invaded zoo?

especially the motar and ambush parts

[fervent berry]

It's aight in a pyro build, pretty solid imo. I like it with Fast Hands though.

[fervent berry]

EMPs help out and you can camp it out in the hallway if you want. But you wanna clear the grunts as fast as possible and you wanna constantly be moving around.

That mortar part is just great fun, innit?

[molten herald]

oh yea..

who doesnt love one shot mechanics

will a tank build survive those?

[fervent berry]

Me personally, I've always preferred DPS builds because I wanna kill rapidly, especially those hounds during the mortar part. I can't really say that a tank build would be sufficient.

[torn flame]

how to level up fastest?

[leaden totem]

Become an arsonist

[torn flame]

sounds.. interesting

[leaden totem]

And ambush unsuspecting hostile civilians on supply runs

[fervent berry]

hostile civilians

[leaden totem]

Yes

Armed hostile civilians on supply runs

[torn flame]

if i kill enough civilians will hyenas become passive

[leaden totem]

Nope

[torn flame]

rude

[leaden totem]

Wut

[wide condor]

"agent in need of backup" i swear all the agents out in the world just get hit by ransomware and need a system restore for their watch and you're just that support guy in BOO

[tender wave]

safe & slow approach to the first mortar section is a turret/drone build, just throw them out and let them do the work while you stay safe in the entry tunnel. Second section is easier, go left and use the cover to destroy the first mortar generator and then focus on adds, clear them up then go get the second mortar

[wide condor]

i did it with a hb build worked, had drone out also, rushed the mortar part and then destroyed those 2 generators like above, then carried on as usual, next annoying bit was the emp part trough that bird area

[molten herald]

the ambush circle?

I was using nego and its damage was fine and ok shield survival

[wide condor]

ambush part was easy, i got a dog down and chained that on the other dogs, and erm the minigun guys just get shot in the ass xD

[molten herald]

maybe Ill just switch to emp for that part

[wide condor]

chunga's dont deal too well with hugs, they are slow

mortar bit at start is by far the most annoying/hardest in the mission, rest was a lot easier imo (referring to solo heroic play)

[molten herald]

yea I wasnt running it solo, maybe that would be easier tbh

probably wouldnt go nego tho

[wide condor]

using shield got me killed quite a few times tbh, crappy elevated areas that you cant travel on with shield out xD

[timber hatch]

The weapons tab on the spreadsheet lists all that

[wide condor]

even if its just a 20cm elevation

[molten herald]

yea thats pretty annoying

[leaden totem]

Urm where is said spreadsheet

[timber hatch]

Pinned in this channel

[leaden totem]

Oohhh

[timber hatch]

Wait, build advice, not in general

[wide condor]

#td2-build-advice actually

[leaden totem]

Err no pins in this channel

Oki

[timber hatch]

Thought I was in build advice lol

[leaden totem]

It happens bro :)

Np

[leaden totem]

Thanks

[wide condor]

i hate how some items like contractor gloves dont show the maxed out icons on DTA stat (i know it was nerfed way back but they never seemed to have fixed that part)

[molten herald]

think I might build FI and try zoo again in a group

[molten spire]

woohoo hit Proficient on Providence

Only have every brand that isn't Empress to go

[molten herald]

should be quick then

[granite zephyr]

POV, you are TOC computer dude:

[granite zephyr]

Is there no Final measure in Div 2?

[wide condor]

no, if you mean elite protection, survivalist spec has a talent for it, and there are protection from elites mods

[granite zephyr]

F

No grenade, mortar, missile, molotov defusing

[wide condor]

the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice lists all sets and its buffs

[granite zephyr]

Just thought they'd bring a simple build with unique features to div 2

Which defuses all the fricking explosives that is thrown at you

[wide condor]

would be quite overpowered in the legendary strongholds

[granite zephyr]

Ikr, I don't even know how to works in lore, defuses Molotov cocktails, wierd but OK, and defuses White phosphorus missiles in boss fights, Literal OP

And if you defuse Frag/fire=+40% firepower

Literal pve build

But I guess ubisoft isn't going to add it cus it's much more 'complicated' than other gear sets

[vale ledge]

they yet to fix expertise...

[torn flame]

whats good about darkzones

[vale ledge]

PvP

[quick wolf]

Except that the PvP is often regarded as one of the weakest aspects of the game.
So even the only good is still kind of bad.

[celest mango]

guys what does boosted character mean?

on ny dlc?

[quick wolf]

Boosted characters skip the main story in DC and automatically start at Lv. 30.

It's not advised to boost a character until you've played the main campaign at least once.

[celest mango]

hmm ye but does the boosted character thing ever disapear?

[wet igloo]

Nope

[celest mango]

i bootsted my character from like lvl 24 and now the message is there

[wide condor]

and it will stay there

[eternal flax]

Does the regulus go into general loot pool after I craft it, or does it still only drop in raids?

[reef reef]

it does not go into the loot pool

[vale oxide]

How do i increase my expertise level? Trying to upgrade my striker battle gear set

[reef reef]

become proficient with more things

[vale oxide]

ah is that it ahaha

[hushed hawk]

Crashing before the last 4 hunters of a countdown is annoying. It happening twice in a row even more

[balmy cedar]

Does Logan take damage to the body

The DUA legendary boss

[vale ledge]

does

just that he has loads of armor, and also the healing backpack

[smoky stag]

just shoot his chain to stop him in his tracks then unload on the backpack.
once its gone and he cant overheal, unload on his head

[vale ledge]

only problem is the AOE, which is not a problem

[balmy cedar]

That’s what I did (the backpack first) but as I was shooting his body with a diamondback with the mark active man’s wasn’t taking no damage 😂

Then I switched to headshots and he went down in 5 shots

[vale ledge]

need something stronger

[smoky stag]

nope it doesnt. go for the head

if you can run headhunter shotgun, you can 1 to 2 tap him whiles hes foamed

[balmy cedar]

I can hold consistency with the 1886 … not sure about nemesis

[vale ledge]

you can strip him of his armor and stuff

[balmy cedar]

I did it with randoms running hybrid builds… wasn’t gonna happen haha

[balmy cedar]

What’s this mean

[smoky stag]

his overcharged pulse which can kill you

[vale ledge]

which can hurt you.. not ohko that kind of kill

[balmy cedar]

Oh, does he have the same stinger hive ?

I never got in range to notice it

[vale ledge]

weaker than a hive imo

hive do not have countdown, this pulse has

[summer totem]

I HATE THIS GAME, it crash during countdown again

[balmy cedar]

What do you guys do to take down tanks easily? I use the Virginian - shoot off their backpack (1-2) shots usually then the chain if they’re aiming at me… then unload in their chest… if they don’t heal from support stations the returned bullets from boomerang can finish them off assuming I don’t miss

Sometimes I don’t even need to take off their backpack but they tend to pull off track

[azure lintel]

Anything crit-related tbh

[vale ledge]

just shoot at their ammo feed, then backpack, then you are golden

[azure lintel]

All I need is to keep the belt destroyed and the rest is history

[summer totem]

I want to go to wherever this game is being maintain at and slap every people who made this game that can always crash

[balmy cedar]

Drone controllers get me 😭

I’ve been noticing snipers go for me when I’m running dps and everyone else is running skill builds

[hushed hawk]

Shoot the drones

[azure lintel]

All my homies hate drones

[balmy cedar]

I mean you try shooting drones 3 times in a row with a Virginian as they’re moving at you 😂

Idk I struggle with it personally

[vale ledge]

using snipers against drones? lol ok

[balmy cedar]

I was asking what you guys do to take down legendary tanks easily

[vale ledge]

shoot the belt, shoot the backpack

[balmy cedar]

Do you use a famas / ar or rifle such as M1A?

[vale ledge]

i prefer using automatics, just aim towards the hand and the backpack

M1A will do, but Baker is better if you want to fire from cover

[balmy cedar]

If it takes more than 3 mags to kill with an AR I get bored lol

[vale ledge]

kill what?

it takes 1/3 of a Mag for the belt, a 3/4 to full mag for backpack

if you using high mag like MG, you can do everything except kill in 1 mag

[balmy cedar]

An enemy… I just go for something that’s single action and hits harder if they take a lot of bullets… I’m not specifically talking about one archetype

[vale ledge]

this is not the stupid ass chunka boss in the DH raid, most tanks are easily killable

[smoky stag]

hunters fury (headshot or tanky scorpio crit build)
bring the fight to them

[balmy cedar]

Yea I get that I’m just asking how people do it / their preference

[vale ledge]

if its the legendary tanks, keep your distance, shoot belt, then backpack

if its normal tanks, just run around them

[balmy cedar]

Hmm… is that why some people run a full high end build with armor cores and haz pro?

[smoky stag]

i dunno. but im using speedrun builds (both old and new)

[vale ledge]

the non-legendary chunka only have melee and minigun, quite weak imo, i'm more scared of the machinegunner that can deploy shields

[balmy cedar]

Oh the riker ? Idk i find that he takes a lot of bullets for no reason

[vale ledge]

yes

he is very tough for thin unit

[balmy cedar]

I almost always die to them if I’m cornered

[vale ledge]

reminds me of Div1 shotgunners

[balmy cedar]

The riker tank and true sons tank are so fun to fight tho

[vale ledge]

div2 cleaner's tanks are so uncommon ingame, and pretty weak sauce imo. the chainsaw version is even rarer.

[balmy cedar]

I wish the chainsaw guy was way more sophisticated

He dies so easily for no reason

[vale ledge]

yes

[summer frost]

Do invaded mission have any benefit besides being more fun ? I found a group today that was going thru all invaded missions, including those that aren't required for the stronghold

[vale ledge]

need to be as strong as the outcast...

[balmy cedar]

Make it like I’m fighting leatherface in Texas chainsaw massacre 😂

[balmy cedar]

They give names items upon first time heroic completion per week

[vale ledge]

invaded missions drop certain material for nemesis shotgun, 1st invaded mission per week gives you additional named gear and alot more exp

invaded in general just more fun, except manning

[balmy cedar]

If there’s a global event active then they’re the hardest to fight imo… makes it more fun

I just hate invaded Roosevelt island

Too long

[vale ledge]

roosevelt is long no matter what mission u play

invaded, manhunt, legendary, story, heroic... same

[balmy cedar]

Eh heroic is fine imo it’s just the Molotov guys that push you out of cover

[vale ledge]

just long

[summer frost]

@vale ledge @balmy cedar oh so the first time you run every invaded mission you'll get extra XP and a named item?

[vale ledge]

yes, per week

[summer frost]

Ah ok maybe that's why there were doing Potomac. It's invaded but it's not required to unlock the stronghold so I was somewhat surprised

[vale ledge]

it is fun until you get around 2000shd.. then you probably have mostly optimised LZ named gear

[balmy cedar]

Depends on whether you did manning

[summer frost]

No, I haven't done manning this week

That mission is like too long

[vale ledge]

manning is fun until everybody dies to the mortar

really remind me of the div1 incursions

[plush otter]

all 3 missions are required for the stronghold

[summer frost]

So this week, what's next after manning ? Or is manning last step?

[coral iron]

What's up !!

Who wants to run with a noob

[vale ledge]

manning is last step before tidal

[summer frost]

Ah, so you need 3 missions for manning, and manning for tidal, and that's it

[vale ledge]

you can point your cursor to the locked invaded mission, will tell you the prerequsite

[summer frost]

Does unlocking tidal require going thru all weekly invaded missions or are there some extra invaded that are not mandatory?

[vale ledge]

when you point your cursor at tidal, it will tell you which invaded stronghold to complete

[summer frost]

Okay thanks

[vale ledge]

when you point your cursor at the invaded stronghold, it will tell you which invaded missions to complete

[summer frost]

So far I've been just matchmaking for random main mission and doing whatever the team I'm paired with is working on

And then there's capitol legendary, that's a separate weekly challenge right ?

[vale ledge]

yes

[summer frost]

Gotcha

[molten herald]

man just ran zoo as fi and it was so much easier

[summer totem]

what is the best way to get the gift?

backpack

[vale ledge]

no

named caches

do alot of countdowns and global events, use them on named caches

[molten herald]

future perfect or reformation for a healer?

[vale ledge]

anything

[molten herald]

well of the two

which is better

[vale ledge]

using what weapons?

if you just running around doing potshots

reformation surely better by far

if you do have some sort of headhunter builds, then go for future perfect

[molten herald]

on an ar as a back up for scorpio on a FI build

[balmy cedar]

Manning is alright if you don’t run glass cannon - I’d recommend unbreakable or perfectly efficient

It’s more of a map designed for rifles than ARs imo

That is until you get to the crocodile pit and the end portion

[willow gale]

how to join raid? i just completed newyork mission

[blazing vault]

Is it worth me buying TD2 now? Or is it too late would you guys say

[azure lintel]

You're asking in a server where everyone owns the game

So in my biased opinion, it's worth it

[blazing vault]

I know that but also people who own the game know if it’s worth buying and playing this late into the games release

[fiery cloud]

Yes buy it and the dlc

[low lily]

Yeah without expansion it's pointless imo

[undone timber]

A bounty target of mine dropped an exotic chameleon

It looks badass but is it any good

[azure lintel]

take the free exotic component instead

[undone timber]

Is it that bad 😭

[azure lintel]

no, it isn't that bad. Definitely try it out if you haven't used it before

I wouldn't waste stash space on it though

Let's just say it's really bad

[undone timber]

I have a Diamondback which I quite like but it's at like gear score 440 which is a shame

[maiden belfry]

Dear devs, countdown lobby leaders are kicking players at extraction to prevent them from receiving countdown credits

[azure lintel]

They're too busy addressing people leaving Countdown after killing Hunters

Because that's a MAJOR issue

I'm being sarcastic, I hope we all get that

[maiden belfry]

There needs to be penalty for leaving countdown, for sure

[azure lintel]

Also needs to be a bigger penalty for failing the objective, so that people actually do it 🙂

[maiden belfry]

If I were the designer of countdown, all the loot you pick up needs to be extracted if you ask me, in order to add intensity and significance to the experience

[vale ledge]

so many crashes...

they can just remove the early hunters

[azure lintel]

Download ISLC it'll do wonders for you

[maiden belfry]

If they remove early hunters, they'll have to remove terminal buffs

[faint geyser]

just make the loot as "radiated" or something, on a different bag.. needs to extract to take your loot so people dont leave after getting what they want

[maiden belfry]

Yup, just make it like DZ except no PvP, and voila

[faint geyser]

they already reused the asset on that chopper rope anyway, let the players tie the loot there

[maiden belfry]

Now we got that out of the way, what can we do about lobby leaders that kick you during extraction

[faint geyser]

simple, once the main obj is unlocked, kicking shouldnt be possible

[azure lintel]

Remove the ability to kick after a certain time or remove it completely? Seems pretty simple

[maiden belfry]

Yup, that would be an easy fix, once again

I honestly don't see a way to disrupt the game in countdown, especially during extraction when everyone is eager to stay alive and extract

[vale ledge]

you can easily disrupt a game in countdown, by crashing

[azure lintel]

^

and imagine if you had to extract loot and then crashed

you'd get to keep nothing

[vale ledge]

no need to imagine

[azure lintel]

😔

[maiden belfry]

No, I mean disrupting a game in a way that affects other players, such warranting being kicked

[azure lintel]

Or just host the lobby yourself

[vale ledge]

lv17 expertise... finally

[faint geyser]

yup, just go solo right? should be ez right?

[potent chasm]

How're y'all getting so high in experyise?

[maiden belfry]

True, I never done that but I wonder how long it takes to get a full lobby

I usually get in a game in less than 10 seconds by matchmaking

[azure lintel]

Pretty fast tbh. If it ever takes a while, just hit "stop searching" and then hit "start" again

Oh true

[faint geyser]

mark everything you dont want as junk, go to the recalibration table, press the expertise tab, then theres a button there that says "donate all junk"
all items you dont want goes to expertise points, if items still remained at your inventory after donating all junk, just delete/sell it. it means those are already lvl 10

[vale ledge]

go for the easy expertise items, such as gearsets, brands

[maiden belfry]

Depends on what you mean by high

[potent chasm]

Gotcha, thanks

[vale ledge]

only use resource on few items that you can't get in-game

[potent chasm]

Above proficiency 3, lol

[azure lintel]

Yeah just blanket farm weapon types or something in Countdown

you can hit 10 just like that

[vale ledge]

after 12 it gets tough

[maiden belfry]

Play Countdown and target gearset and then brandset and then weapons

Gearset should be the easiest

There's also a way to cheese gearset

[vale ledge]

you are eventually stuck with DZ only named items that need proficiencies

[potent chasm]

Cool, thanks

Really the only DZ exclusives I need are The Apartment, Rock'n Roll and the lever action

[maiden belfry]

They show up in named caches

[native gate]

morning froom sweden, when playing Floor 10, it doesnt matter if its 10, 20, 30 etc, right?

[azure lintel]

Well, there's a reason they call it "floor 10"

[native gate]

just answer with a yes/no?

[potent chasm]

It's only floor 10

[native gate]

ty @potent chasm

[azure lintel]

No it does not matter. Floor 10 is the "easiest" but it literally does not matter

Up until you get 2 bosses it can be any floor

[native gate]

@azure lintel thats what i thought, ty.

@azure lintel ret 🙂

[vale ledge]

floor 10 is fastest

thats why not floor 20

[azure lintel]

It's called "floor 10" farm because the assumption is that you're resetting your checkpoint and getting to 10 first. Literally can farm floor 40 in the same time as 10, almost 0 difference

[vale ledge]

it does have some speed differences

[azure lintel]

please tell me

[vale ledge]

more ads, and in some levels you have more than 1 boss

[azure lintel]

there are not more ads

and I even said up until you get 2 bosses

go time it yourself and lmk

[vale ledge]

will test again later and lyk

[smoky stag]

compare the number of reds, purps, and elite

[haughty summit]

At that point would rather try and get floor 90 checkpoint

[tender wave]

Some people object to those who call the heli too early (more than 10s on the clock), denying everyone an extra couple of waves of bt to farm, that might be why the leader was kicking

Also, if you had to extract to get loot, you'd see a lot more people getting kicked during matchmaking for low shd or weak builds, as everyone would be terrified of failure

[maiden belfry]

No lobby leader is entitled to kick players who read a goal on screen and achieved such goal

[azure lintel]

Elitism in Countdown, now there's a thought!

[maiden belfry]

Exactly, absolute dog water

This happened https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/456041973636136960/992683388605562970/Tom_Clancys_The_Division_2_replay_2022.07.02-18.42.mp4_snapshot_00.54.784.jpg

[tender wave]

I'm not saying it's right, just that it's a possible explanation

[azure lintel]

Kick everyone that does VIP I can get behind that

[tender wave]

But yeah, if they're kicking everyone then they're just a troll

[maiden belfry]

Yes, they are, and I'm pissed the hell off that the game just ...let it happen

Like there weren't any sort of check in place, I mean why would they lol

[tender wave]

They just copied the raid framework rather than building a custom approach, they'll iron out the bugs in time I guess.

[azure lintel]

Ctrl + V go stupid this patch, eh?

Striker and HB, Countdown and Raid....

[tender wave]

Well, there's less likely to be glitches if they copy (stable) code, avoids issues like the expertise leveling bug and the damage glitch

[maiden belfry]

Don't forget the crashes

[tender wave]

There's always the crashes, copy/paste can't help there

[vale oxide]

Whats the best modes to matchmake on to find other people?

[azure lintel]

countdown

[vale ledge]

missions

[azure lintel]

anyone want to farm xp

[rustic glade]

Is countdown good for gear farming? Also will I get kicked for using a turret drone build?

[molten spire]

Yes and probably yes if you don't have alternatives

You really don't want turret + drone on Countdown

[rustic glade]

sad Engineer Gaming noises

Ah, not tried it yet

[azure lintel]

anyone doing some xp farm

[molten spire]

Countdown is too fast paced for turret and drone, but what really kills it is the presence of enemies that can and will hack your skills and turn it against you and your teammates

[vale ledge]

too fast paced for turret drone... not really

people has been bringing mortars

tho equally hazardous

[desert crystal]

how about 0 crashes

[faint geyser]

just join on countdown and bring what you want lol, 99% of the time they wont inspect you, what they do is, check your SHD lvl, if thats low they might kick you, but that rarely happens

[royal whale]

I love seeing people brining skill tier 6 turret and drone builds in countdown, seeing it getting hacked and then eliminating a whole team 😄

[viscid cargo]

Any1 have a video/document och explaining how all the damage modifiers stack with each other? Like if theyre multiplicative/additive and in which order theyre applied

[azure lintel]

This might help: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vQiAYZUf_k8zpoBnEJgYoJRUpnLZ8SG98zO7vn6fKbN1l7_tevaw9t_qOXhpg_ELr48ZUhRNJCaRWS3/pubhtml

Hasn't been updated tho

[proud terrace]

where do i ask to see if anyone is down to farm gear by doing bounties and world activities to get the control point levels higher to attack

[desert crystal]

#lfg-pc @proud terrace

[proud terrace]

thank you

[fallow geyser]

100%. managed to get some decent mods from it, including a max chd. it really is fun, as long as you get lucky and get a codependent team

[fervent berry]

Yet, it's still hilarious and frustrating to see "high level" SHD agents use assault drones in Countdown. Another reason why I can't rely on SHD levels 😂

[fallow geyser]

we gotta stop expecting high shd level peeps to be gud lmao

maybe some like 16k is still absolutely horrendous at dz

and striker drones in countdown???? 💀 💀

they just gonna get yoinked by the hunters

[fervent berry]

Oh, I know that, but they don't seem to know that.

I use SHD levels as indicators of how players are familiar with the game, not about how well or sweaty they play.

So if I see 16K SHD level, I'd like to assume that they know enough not to use hackable skills in CD.

[fallow geyser]

i actually think a lot of new players also apply that logic 🤔

[hushed hawk]

A barometer on how much I should laugh when they do something utterly moronic

[fallow geyser]

from my experience of sheparding, the new lot just watch and let me merk every ai i see

[fervent berry]

Yesss, something for entertainment

[tender wave]

I'm seeing more and more high shd players in the last couple of months with poor gameplay skills, think they must spend all their time on floor 10

[hushed hawk]

I need to do some f10 for field points

Have things to optimise. But it's boring

[fervent berry]

Meanwhile, I've seen more low level players recently using shield builds and poor HB stacks to facetank in front of hallways and doors 😂

[hushed hawk]

I hate mouthbreathers who see someone shooting a target and about to kill it but because they want to be the ones "contributing", they step in front of the shooter, blocking the damage so they can deal way less

Happens in CD every time, and the hunter then has time to heal

It's a pet annoyance because it won't change anything

But they're braindead, flocking towards the hunter with their shields while blocking damage dealers

[fervent berry]

This, as a rifle DPS main

But hey, if they can kill em, I'm happy with it.

[hushed hawk]

Just takes longer and the sight just makes me roll my eyes

[vale ledge]

facetankers gonna face, live with it

[hushed hawk]

They don't even have builds to facetank

[vale ledge]

not HB/HF?

[fervent berry]

Well, I ain't complaining if they're pulling aggro from my PGC build

[hushed hawk]

A red HB isn't gonna facetank a hunter

[vale ledge]

oh well, definately not me

[hushed hawk]

On the other hand, I'm happy with the PFE build. It does facetank hunters

[fervent berry]

Does a PFE build work that well against hunters?

[vale ledge]

it does

[fervent berry]

I would've thought anti disrupt would be kinda better.

[vale ledge]

you can use CC before hunters use their emp

but if the emp comes down, taking cover is the way to go if you lack certain gimmick

[hushed hawk]

Aye, it works. Just lower on damage

If you're emp'd, you scorpio them

If not, they won't break your shield. Eve. Without shield you'll survive long enough

[vale ledge]

with emp, no shields

unless you are beside your turret or something

[hushed hawk]

Hence "if not"

[vale ledge]

hunters without emp is like a weaker rogues, they are less likely to spam skills

[hushed hawk]

Just be careful with the melee because it's has some sort of execution damage. It will break the shield and it will put you into one-shot protection

Or death protection

[vale ledge]

i think you have to be careful against melee enemies, unless you bring in the 500% damage melee thingy or/with sweet dreams

[haughty summit]

Even claws out won't deal that much damage

[mystic zealot]

curious about the so called emp-ing the emp, is it possible to say, pop jammer or shoot the hunter with emp sticky as he is getting ready for his emp, to using our emp, to stop his emp from emp-ing us?

[vale ledge]

at least claws out let you see you dealing melee damage to elites.. at least

[haughty summit]

I think that process can't be staggered

Would rather just ditch the claws out for something better and deal damage efficiently

[plush otter]

to counter them emping, the way to go is to engage them so that they cant be stationary, either getting close while shooting them, or stuff like foaming them will interrupt and make them not able to emp, oxy also works well just to get them out of cover so they cant jam and hijack for when the status modifier is still active and you cant status them

[manic heart]

WHY IS THE REGULIZ SO HARD TO GET!?!?

[wheat zinc]

Regulus

[tender wave]

haven't seen anyone try it in countdown but it seems to work against Keener: timing the emp so it's charging just as he does his shock thing - you'll still get shocked but it'll destroy his deflector drone and he won't do the 'hack emp' when he drops down

[faint geyser]

its easy lol

[smoky stag]

which bugs the mission and he becomes invincible.
wonder if they fixed that already

[tender wave]

not when I've done it

at least on story mode (been running up characters through wony a few times recently for the mats)

[haughty summit]

That's objective

[manic heart]

I have been trying for a week to do the raid and have gotten nowhere

[rustic glade]

I love matchmaking at the floor 100 boss room and the game's like "Join this group instead"

[faint geyser]

no raid team on consoles?

[smoky stag]

i once read on here you can avoid that by setting group privacy to do not disturb then matchmake

[barren plank]

Guess who`s back?!

hello everyone!

[haughty summit]

Call for backup would do better tbh

If you matchmake you'll bypass group privacy setting

[manic heart]

Can't get past second encounter its on silly time

[haughty summit]

It's all about timing the 2nd boss fight

[plush otter]

if you want people to join on you, just set your group to open instead of matchmaking

it will pull others that are matchmaking to your group

[faint geyser]

hmm, 2nd boss huh, tbh i still dont know how to do the admin role there.
ive been chungus killer near the admin room, and the front A panel role..

pretty sure you only need 4 people who knows what to do on 2nd boss

[manic heart]

Well hopefully I can get it done soon just annoying that I have to do it twice for the parts

[tender wave]

if you're using the lfg channels here, a tip I found for picking good groups was to keep an eye on the lfg channels regularly over a few weeks and spot the 'usual suspects' who keep on leading raids - then try and get in one of their groups (or ideally, a group with several 'usual suspects') - things are so much smoother when half the team does raids constantly for fun and really know what they're doing

if you can get in one on Tuesday with experienced raiders you're much more likely to find someone to share a Ravenous with you, too (although maybe less likely now everyone needs exotic components for expertise)

[faint geyser]

its a total of 3 runs to get it

[viscid cargo]

Does dz have better droprates or did i get lucky? An hour of doing landmarks and i got 3 exotics

[barren plank]

@viscid cargoif you have returned to game after big pause you will have few good drops

does anyone know how to fix game freezing and closing after 20-40min?

[fiery cloud]

Hey Zephyr, Heart, Rendy0, Kettle

[zinc shadow]

rollicking randy dandy-oh

[faint geyser]

just tried conflict, and i thought destiny 2 pvp is unbalanced af

hmm, everyone is running deflector drone too lol

[summer totem]

OMG i hate rogue player

i JUST WANT THE FREAKING BACKPACK

[azure lintel]

I want to buy premium credits, but the store says "store it's empty" and i can't buy no more :(

Does it happen to anyone?

[tender wave]

hey saph

[summer totem]

omg i hate rogue play so much, i want to kill them all

toxic cxnt

[severe bane]

what region

[viscid cargo]

how does strained work on rifles?

[normal urchin]

Why are they toxic by pvping in the pvp zone

[summer totem]

because i didnt want to

i just mind my own busines

[normal urchin]

Don't go in the DZ then?

[severe bane]

mans didnt say what region

[normal urchin]

Doesn't really matter; if you don't want to run the risk of losing your stuff, don't go in

[viscid cargo]

by far easiest xp and field recon farm

[severe bane]

i know bro just want some pvp lmao

[viscid cargo]

i just go there to do that and getting beamed in the back by someone who waits to rogue until youre not paying attention are annoying

[severe bane]

summit floor 10 gives everything you need

[normal urchin]

But you know it going in that it can happen

[viscid cargo]

ppl who rogue in dz are fine, its the ones you sets everything up and then blasts your ass without you expecting it that are annoying, thats not a fight

[summer totem]

people who didnt care because they are one of them too

to ruin people's game

[peak merlin]

are you guys enjoying PVP?

at this moment if you see someone ibn DZ or Conflict all of them are combining level 20 in almost all weapons. How can that be funny...to not say fair.

[severe bane]

nothing is fair in the darkzone

[normal urchin]

You're literally upset that you got killed in a pvp zone by someone who decided to engage in pvp

It's weird entitled behavior and is far more toxic than someone shooting you in a video game

[peak merlin]

if you exploit it is not fair...if you do whatever you want in DZ without exploit then you assume its ok and part of the game

[severe bane]

Thats up to the devs to fix its been reported dont know how many times cant do much

[summer totem]

i never wanted to go to DZ but the game force me with this DZ only items, i hate it

i dont want to PVP why can't i just play without having to pvp for item i want

[severe bane]

Dz exclusives can be obtained from named caches

Get grinding on countdown for points or when global events come around

[fervent berry]

So for the first time in my entire Div2 career, I finally understand how floor 10 farming works and how cheesy it is.

But, my god, it's so repetitive and it gets boring quickly.

[faint geyser]

is your uplay ingame overlay disabled? if yes thats the problem

[azure lintel]

Ah that's why...hmm...thank you lol

had it disabled because i heard it lowers your FPS

[summer totem]

ill never get the gift bag because of someone just want to ruin it all

why cant this game just let people who wants to do pvp have their fun and leave me alone

[slender laurel]

So level 30 is like pre endgame and level 40 is true endgame?

[vale ledge]

you can try your luck using lv30 in lv40 missions

[silent nymph]

is there a way to make a build with the btsu gloves and the nemesis at the same time? and if so what would it feel like in both pvp and pve

[azure lintel]

not exactly, level 30 is the maximum that you can reach by playing the base game

then if you buy the warlords of new york dlc then you can get to level 40 and then you are onto SHD levels, which don't mean anything really they mean that: higher level = more time played or more floor 10 farming completed

[slender laurel]

So is there a cap of SHD level?

Or its unconfirmed.

[faint geyser]

nemesis excels if you commit on all red cores and headshot dmg.. using btsu is not good imo

[silent nymph]

ah ok cause i was thinking of a build that would do something here cause first they look good otgherter as an outfit and second i didn't know if it would go well a a build itself

[astral jacinth]

btsu is usually for skill builds, particularly utilizing hives, and healing builds

Unless you are doing an off meta build they both would not synergize well imo

[slender laurel]

Nice I got the Sawyers kneepads.

[vagrant oak]

Guys anybody here who have little bit time to help me with something?

[azure lintel]

Maybe they shouldn't make gear exclusive to the DZ

[hybrid ore]

All DZ locked gear is farmable outside of the DZ via Named Item Caches, except for System Corruption and the Yaahl Brandset.
The last 2 are also farmable outside of the DZ, you just have to get creative.

[rich shadow]

Sup?

[vagrant oak]

Hey, its "fairview crew apparel event" over? i cant get any boxes

[wide condor]

yes since 27th, see #news-and-announcements

[azure lintel]

I want System Corruption to make more builds and I want Yaahl pieces to complete certain ones that I have, but for Yaahl I'm basically praying vendors have them and that they aren't DZ vendors, if that's even a thing

If I want a Sokolov piece, I'll just set TL and farm it; if I want a Yaahl piece, I have to stack ungodly amounts of cash to buy several at a vendor to deconstruct so I can hopefully craft the right roll

[rich shadow]

Not no more

[vagrant oak]

Damm 😦

[hybrid ore]

It is 100% a thing.
source: found one at the BoO vendor. Bought enough to craft Yaahl bits until I got a godroll, bought a ful stack of mats worth for future-proofing.

[azure lintel]

At least I won't rely on DZ ones the fateful day the vendor has it

[hybrid ore]

Sys Corr is available from Legacy Season Caches btw, since it was part of Season 1.

although it is rather bad, overall.

[azure lintel]

Yeah, I'm a bit miffed to jump through those hoops to get eh-tier gear

[plush otter]

specifically the clan vendor has yaahl from time to time, keep an eye on the weekly resets and it will be around again, last one was around a month ago

[hybrid ore]

BoO as well, as I mentioned all of 2 minutes ago.

[plush otter]

do you remember around when, as you can look it up with the weekly vendor reset post on reddit by rubin, there has not been yaahl on any main vendor as far as i know, and per my current understanding, no other vendor than clan can have have yaahl

[hybrid ore]

Was a while back now, at least 2021, possibly 2020.
This has been confirmed by multiple others on this Server before, although I'm not sure why you're trying to play detective over this.

[plush otter]

have you met me, i play detective on every statement i dont believe is true, as either its false, or im wrong and would rather be corrected than stay wrong.

[hybrid ore]

I'm not even going to bother trying to decipher what that implies.
g'night y'all, play nice now, or @reef reef will come to your house at night.

[azure lintel]

I miss Eph 😔

[zinc shadow]

I shall translate:
"Have you met me? I play detective on every statement I don't believe is true, as it is either false, or I am wrong and I would rather be corrected than stay wrong."

[hybrid ore]

Try and avoid pinging mods in general, I usually don't mind, but when a status is specifically set to Red, it's implied that we're not open for responses.

[azure lintel]

I shall translate:
"Have you met me? I play detective on every statement I don't believe is true, as it is either false, or I am wrong and I would rather be corrected than stay wrong."

[hybrid ore]

@azure lintel why?

[azure lintel]

😂 I'm bored sorry

I channel my inner autism on Saturdays

[plush otter]

taking out contractions is a translation nowadays?

[azure lintel]

reletable 😂😂

[reef reef]

I'm in some ppls walls already

[potent chasm]

I am in your walls I am in your walls I am in your walls I am in your walls

[kind cedar]

Can chameleon drop outside of heroic bounties?

[potent chasm]

I believe so

[azure lintel]

man's acoustic 🪕

[warped sandal]

Getting enemies disrupted is pretty easy ngl

wayyyy easier than daniels

[potent chasm]

What was Daniels?

Was it bleed or on fire?

[warped sandal]

Bleed

I mean it was harder for me given i ran skills

so i could only use hive or seeker.mine

[potent chasm]

Yeah, that one was difficult

[warped sandal]

Thankfully this one benefits me and my team 😎

I legit just run countdown and go to one of the objectives and just spam disrupt

Btw is there any named or exotic that makes the disrupt cooldown faster?

[azure lintel]

Nope

[warped sandal]

Dang

I do know theres one for pulse

[azure lintel]

You could use exotics to overcharge, I guess

I don't remember the effects, but it might include haste

[warped sandal]

Dang

[slender laurel]

I can get exotics on challenging right?

[azure lintel]

Yep

[slender laurel]

I got another chameleon, from a boss drop, it has low stats so I deconstructed it since I already have one.

[azure lintel]

Deconstruct the other one as well

[potent chasm]

Deconstruct all of your exotics, get the inventory space for some more

[azure lintel]

🧠

[cerulean sparrow]

I'm on world tier 1 do i.get.better weapons or r they the same still

[cedar ivy]

ive just noticed... when you spray AS12, the sound of the shell casings landing on the floor sounds correct. hollow plastic tubes vs rifle casings or pistol casings in brass

[fiery cloud]

@cerulean sparrow they'll get better,but after the dlc they get real good

[sick mantle]

Hello where can I loot the king breaker ?

[wheat zinc]

AR targeted loot. It’s on the current season pass as a reward also.

[sick mantle]

@wheat zinc thanks

[neat sedge]

4.237m E-credits

time to get my Expertise up the pay to win way

[torn flame]

whats the point of the darkzone if it gives same loot as normal area

other than pvp and harder enemies

no rarer loot?

[neat sedge]

there are some items that are exclusive to the darkzones

[plush otter]

nothing is exclusive to the darkzone, all the dz/pvp items can be gotten from other sources, its one of the better places to farm field recon for optimisation, its also decent for leveling shd.

[torn flame]

so basically useless..

[quasi furnace]

are we not allowed to reconfigure the 3 new exotics? How do i get the blueprints?

[plush otter]

the reconfiguration blueprints arent available right now, they need to be patched to be available, there is a patch planned for the 5th, so hopefully then

[alpine tiger]

What faster to lvl 30-40 solo or group to get much xp ?

[finite ibex]

I tried the heartbreaker vs the "normal" red build with pesti, and it doesn't seem that great. Am i missing something ?

[smoky stag]

group. you and 3 other carries. each one does 1 mission on their own, you clear side missions during, and teleport to whoever's already at the boss area. then you move on to the next one until all missions/side mission are done. gets you to 40 in about 15-20 mins

maybe more like 30mins

[alpine tiger]

What if solo ? , how long ?

[finite ibex]

Not great, not terrible

[smoky stag]

its 3x slower

[finite ibex]

Your suggestion takes in to account you have friends playing this game and want to nerd it down to meta

[alpine tiger]

2 hr ?

[smoky stag]

maybe

[slender laurel]

Damn, they removed alot of crap in division 1..

[smoky stag]

he asked what the fastest was. thats objectively the fastest. no other qualification was added or needed. friends to play with is his problem. but the method is fast regardless of what your situation is

[fathom vine]

can someone help me get LD in ny pls

[neat sedge]

never spend all your scavenge points on cash to buy mods for printer filments

going through 40 million E-credits it just carpel tunnel speed run

[proven moth]

Wait, is there a difference between discovery and normal?

[reef reef]

discovery is easier and has matchmaking but you cant get the raid exclusive loot

normal is harder, has more mechanics and no matchmaking, but you can get the exotics and such

[proven moth]

Jeez, well my team is good since they just did it in one run

[reef reef]

discovery?

[proven moth]

Normal

It felt like discovery 💀

[reef reef]

never said it wasnt hard, just harder. once you understand the raids they arent too hard

[granite zephyr]

Yooooooooooo, less go

Extracted out of survival with 6 survival caches, and killed 3 hunters, tried to speed run that with just 1 high end assault rifle

And almost no high end armour

[proven moth]

I didn't say it was hard, I was just saying that it felt like discovery.

[azure lintel]

Where does the back fire drop I've been grinding SMG allocated missions for 3 days and have gotten nothing does it drop only in new York or do I just have bad luck

[reef reef]

do you have Warlords of new york

[azure lintel]

Yeah

[reef reef]

then you are just unlucky

[azure lintel]

It drop on both maps?

[reef reef]

it can drop anywhere

[granite zephyr]

I would download div2 ,only if they add survival

[azure lintel]

Welp apparently I just have horrible drop rates same with the mantis can't get to drop for the life of me lol

[quick wolf]

I guess you're never downloading Div 2 then.

[smoky stag]

Funny how when u tryin to farm nemesis for someone else all that drops is mantis

[summer totem]

anyone know how to fix game freezing and crashing?

i thought i fixed it but it freeze again

[azure lintel]

Lol ha I wish dude what you grinding for it? Strongholds?

[vale oxide]

can you get the welder mask on iron horse discovery?

[potent chasm]

Kinda wish we got a Last Stand styled DLC for D2, I really liked that DLC in the first game

[fair otter]

@woeful dagger If you see this among the masses shoot me a DM or send me a friend request.

[polar chasm]

or a survival for D2, which has been asked for since launch by alot of players

[potent chasm]

Oh my god. Yes, I would love that, but where would it take place?

[polar chasm]

NY like in D1

[potent chasm]

That'd be cool, like Harlem or somethin?

[fiery cloud]

You'll know when it comes out

Soon I hope

[potent chasm]

I hope it does come

[fiery cloud]

It's in closed beta

[potent chasm]

Really? Or are you just pullin my leg?

[fiery cloud]

Can't tell you what's in the box

[polar chasm]

they said they would never make survival or any of the D1 dlc`s for D2, dispite most players really want it

[fiery cloud]

Look in ubisoft news

You'll see what's in the box

NL someone lied to you

[polar chasm]

well thats what the devs told us ourselfs some months after launch

[fiery cloud]

Yup they lied

[polar chasm]

we got summit instead of underground, not sure what we would get for survival but knowing ubisoft/massive it aint gonna be good imo

[vale ledge]

their game plan is to make everything big and spacious...

[proven moth]

Whats the numbers next to skills that are in use?

Also, I know I need steel and another material, but whats the very last material needed to upgrade a weapon?

I need 300 of it and only have 91

[polar chasm]

the skill tier they are on

[polar chasm]

he was talking about Division Heartlands, but thats a battle Royal game seperate from division 2

[summer totem]

I will say this again

fuxk everyone who goes rogue and steals stuff

piece of sht

[polar chasm]

well, then dont go to the DZ, its full of rogues most are pretty toxic

[summer totem]

i need the DZ resource

for the gift

normally i never go to DZ

[faint geyser]

just restart your pc, if you applied some of the fixes from that reddit post it should be good after you restart

[polar chasm]

i have learned my lesson a long time ago in division 1, not to go into the DZ, just because of the toxicity

[faint geyser]

i steal peoples stuff and then dismantle it so even if they kill me its gone xD
