[cedar yacht]

All you

[frosty inlet]

Got a max dtc chd 1886

[inner tendon]

Now you have no choice but to use it with a revolver and a double-barrel shotgun to cosplay as a cowboy.

[verbal topaz]

That is the best way to run it though

[slim elk]

who doesn't like cowboy cosplaying?

[frosty inlet]

How many BP in total can you get from CPs?

[inner tendon]

There's a ton, unsure on the specific amount but you can check what you still need by going to your Crafting Table and seeing on the right-hand side where something drops.
Luckily it's a guaranteed drop each time so eventually you will get everything.

[wispy cipher]

How do you reach this spot? By the 1040 safehouse

[slim elk]

Shoot the red thingy that's used to climb, idk what's it called lol

[wispy cipher]

Yeah, can't. NVM, found a ladder up

[raw elk]

The Ceska chestpiece that is mentioned for a striker build is the Ceska Vyroba S.R.O correct?

[mellow trout]

Whatever the ceska chest piece is called

[slim elk]

Yes

[slim elk]

here

That's what you need to farm

[raw elk]

yeah i just wanted to make sure i had the correct chest piece in builder ^^
Thank you ^^

[slim elk]

No worries, ceska is more recommended for a striker

[raw elk]

I am currently farming that one and I am also planning to farm another one that i want to ask about before asking ^^

[narrow kraken]

So does only invaded DZs enable both your shd levels and expertise or only expertise?

[mellow trout]

Like as if to prove SHD doesn't matter

This was incursion so it's even worse

[narrow kraken]

💀

[narrow kraken]

I need to start recording the random soloq incursions I do

The builds I see is meme material content

[mellow trout]

Incursion is essentially a junkyard on random MM

[narrow kraken]

I'm all in on people playing with builds they find fun and enjoyable but when it comes to incursion for example

Seeing someone run a half baked tank build in incursion kills me

[mellow trout]

You ever just ask if your squad knows what they're doing and they go yeah yeah and you do a build check and just leave

[narrow kraken]

50/50

If it's 1 guy

Running a hybrid dps tank then idc much

But if it's 2+ with random builds then its a quit

I still remember me carrying the 2 very low shd and bad build peps up to wright pretty much solo

[mellow trout]

Bro the last Incursion I ran we kept wiping on Wright because the leader kept taking aggro and getting slammed even though I was playing healer

And he had the audacity to say it was all my fault because I'm not doing any damage

[narrow kraken]

Some people don't understand that aspect istg

I be screaming to some people GO CLEAR ADS I TAKE AGGRO

[mellow trout]

DPS tryna kite just makes things difficult

[narrow kraken]

Or... when you have the boss on a corner just juking and your 3 team mates decides to go shoot ads right next to and they keep getting stunned or killed

Like do you not see the boss here? or isit on purpose lol

🥹 I need to start recording that

[mellow trout]

Nah one of the biggest triggers I've developed is people kiting him through the back while on fire

[narrow kraken]

Make a compilation of soloq incursions

[mellow trout]

It kills my hive like oml

Shields and people on fire are the bane of my existence

[narrow kraken]

Hive popups speedrun

Shield oh god

30 hives go to 1 in a millisecond

I don't even try to explain to them because I fear they can only play with the shield and if I remove their only safety blanket they'll keep going down

[mellow trout]

When I heal that's why I just pick up the hive when he phases and tell everyone to stand around the chem

[narrow kraken]

Yup

I don't mind much if its a new player tough

I like helping people specially if they understand when you tell them what to do or whats going to happen

[mellow trout]

Helping new people willing to listen is nice

It's when they don't

[narrow kraken]

Or when they can't even read chat

It kills my mood to finish anything I'm doing instantly

[atomic coral]

Whats worse is they are probably the same people begging for ouro

[slim elk]

I'm begging to at least kill one Legendary enemy without getting lasered

[atomic coral]

Honestly ong

Gl without like exp 10 gear at least ig

[static trout]

I'm all for playing "non-meta" stuff and experimenting, but it better fucking work.
And I'm not talking "It holds up on solo Heroic" when you mean it takes you 30 minutes to do a 10 minute mission

[narrow kraken]

That's another thing I can't stand

Taking a year doing something using a build when you could use another that would make it moderately faster to clear

Still remember this guy swapping off of FI healer to a skill build on a leg mission

And nobody else on the team had support at the time

Let's just say we stopped making progress real quick and even wiped later on

[clever fjord]

"Muh gazillion clears"

[narrow kraken]

Please please I can't stare at that

Just use 4pc striker with the holster and the 20% pistol mask

[summer sail]

pfe glass cannon 🗿

[narrow kraken]

🥹 🥹

[clever fjord]

Dta elmo meta

[narrow kraken]

I didnt even notice the dta

Was more astonishde at the gears rofl

10k shd he's still living in the dtas

Didn't famas receive a gigantic dps nerf too?

[blazing timber]

5.11 hazpro pfe build

[narrow kraken]

Wait no not famas elmos I mean

[clever fjord]

Nah just the other ars f2k specifically got better

[clever fjord]

Same case

[narrow kraken]

I swear I read somewhere that the elmost got a dedic nerf on damage

[narrow kraken]

After that change

[clever fjord]

It's honestly because other options are better now much more than elmo no nerf was in place

[narrow kraken]

I might be dreaming again I'll join @static trout

[narrow kraken]

makes sense

[static trout]

elmost

[narrow kraken]

Elmost enough damage

[static trout]

Elmost just becomes better and better the more I look at it
St. Elmo
Almost
Elmost

[narrow kraken]

I just think about elmo everytime I read it

[sand ocean]

Plz no nerf Elmo

[static trout]

We elmost talked about that

[sand ocean]

That’s why I still need to farm some decent high end ARs

Need a good carbine 7

[static trout]

This wasn't a dream, it was a nightmare

[drifting quartz]

So the only exotics I have is St Elmo's, Capacitor and Diamondback.....(The DB looks sooooo cool)

[worldly fjord]

resource tab is broken inside inventory

[somber hazel]

project resource is implemented

[urban vault]

are blue affixes a trap? Or is there some value in throwing in stuff like armour regen or explosive resistance?

[mellow trout]

They're useless on their own

[rugged stratus]

Hazpro useful. The rest are meh

[narrow kraken]

Gotta love bugisoft

With each update more issues added

🥂 😔

[blazing timber]

The improved our talents

[fallow inlet]

Hey Local

[rugged stratus]

good morning Saph

[static trout]

Morning? O.o

[rugged stratus]

yes morning...

[civic lily]

timezone issue

[rugged stratus]

skill issue

😅

[kind cove]

BRUH they fuckin ruined long hair with the new “patched” long hair on hats and helmets

They single handedly just ruined one of my favorite cosmetics with this change

Not only can I not trust the devs to add good content, now content I had already owned and used is being altered and worsened

These devs are actually bad

[civic lily]

there's nothing we can do

[kind cove]

Oh whats even funnier

[static trout]

Joe

[kind cove]

Im checking several helmets rn

[civic lily]

mama

[static trout]

AHAHAHA

[kind cove]

Wild how that change didn’t even come in the game

[civic lily]

idk the hair fix thing

[kind cove]

This isn’t even in the game

The just altered the hair and made it worse

[nimble spruce]

Just cut your hair at the barber mirror thing, surely?

[kind cove]

It doesn’t even work with two helmets I just checked

[kind cove]

No, because they ruined my favorite hairstyle that Ive used for 90% of my gameplay

[civic lily]

I only care about this "fix" if it messed up ponytail

[kind cove]

I just checked

It did.

[civic lily]

it's overbama

worst devs ever

[kind cove]

This shit legit needs to get reversed

This is actually just worse

[civic lily]

I'm sure alot more will make the issue known then

[rocky oar]

guys is this weapon max? do i get more pro ficient playing with it or i should platy with other assault rifle to increase expertise level ?

[civic lily]

Since it effects the popular hair styles

[civic lily]

play with items that you haven't gotten to proficient to get expertise level up

so yes

[kind cove]

Bruh its literally folded into the neck

[rocky oar]

k thanks

[kind cove]

Love these devs

And they still haven’t fixed the visual appearance of the aegis set for the female character meaning the vest is just not usable

[kind cove]

I just checked further now the hair Im using has a bald spot lmao

[static trout]

I genuinely only wear hats/masks where you can't see the hair anyways - but what's wrong?

[kind cove]

What the change did is made long hair work with beanies and a couple other items

But what it now is doing is fucking up a lot of hair options that used to work perfectly fine

The problem is that they just fucked over people who were already using Long hair with helmets and hats

[civic lily]

nvm I don't wear hats

[kind cove]

This shit is most likely not going to be fixed because these devs can’t bug fix for the fucking life of themselves

[gloomy crag]

How does the aegis gear set work now in pvp?

[static trout]

It doesn't and never did

[civic lily]

bruh give it some time

[static trout]

Cool your horses.

[gloomy crag]

I thought todays update said it was updating the talent for pvp

[kind cove]

Holy shit

[static trout]

Just the description to say it doesn't

[kind cove]

I just found the worst example

[civic lily]

I think it's low chance it's gonna end up like fragile armor

[gloomy crag]

Ah I thought it was getting updated to work in pvp

[civic lily]

especially on first day

[static trout]

People that does cosmetic stuff - and people who does game-related stuff - aren't the same

[kind cove]

This shit worked perfectly fine before the patch

But nooooo, the devs just had to go and fuck it up

Like they always do, now I can’t even have the cosmetics that I paid for working normally

These devs are an absolute joke

[civic lily]

bruh

not even been 6 hours yet

[kind cove]

Don’t bruh me, they ruined a cosmetic that I exclusively use for most of my playtime, Im rightfully pissed and have every right to be when they still haven’t made fixes to already bugged apparel

They broke something that shouldn’t have even been effected by the change

And they wont fix it until at least another week, but they ain’t gonna do that

Im probably going to have to wait a fucking month and a half just to use a cosmetic I like

[rugged stratus]

thats rough

at least it isnt affecting gameplay...

[kind cove]

Just to add icing on the cake, that new kajika bundle? They didn’t even put the effort in to make the hood go down, which confirms what Ive been saying which is they are just lazily making the outfits work with both genders and calling it a day

[civic lily]

Unlike another recent bug, that the devs already know about

[kind cove]

You can’t use masks at all or hats, AND glasses are bugged

[civic lily]

not surprised about the paid full outfits being mid tho

They got away with releasing a 24$ outfit

[kind cove]

Its not even mid its just straight up bad

These devs are being lazy, and Ive been saying it for months, but finally it’s actually being 100% showcased by the devs

For a brief moment I gave these devs faith to make a good patch

[rugged stratus]

thats why i dont spend money on cosmetics

[kind cove]

But no, fuckin typical

[kind cove]

Yea and now I can’t use a cosmetic that existed perfectly fine for years

Because its ruined

[static trout]

Artist != Developer.

[kind cove]

This IS the fault of the devs

[rugged stratus]

ok, time to find a new look ig till its fixed... kinda beating a dead horse at this point

[inner tendon]

Okay time to take it down a few notches.

[kind cove]

No its not

These devs deserve to actually get shade thrown at them now

[rugged stratus]

you should do it on twitter then, they pay zero attention to this discord

[inner tendon]

@kind cove You've been warned for your attitude before. You can absolutely criticise but this is becoming a pattern of bad behaviour.

[kind cove]

I don’t care, this literally just gives me a reason to just not play until they fuckin fix, because its a god awful change that did that ruined cosmetics

They are 100% at fault here

And you can’t pretend like they aren’t

I am right

[static trout]

I'm sure I don't have to explain you have a company works, but you cannot just say devs
In the spirit of conversation, do you have a picture pre-update to compare to - for that specific helmet with the hairdo?

[kind cove]

Yes I have multiple

[static trout]

peeposhy

[kind cove]

80% of the outfits I posted in fashion are using the hair style

I constantly take photos

One moment

[gloomy crag]

I'm guessing its a new bug that all my weapons talents are fucked

[kind cove]

Reminder, the hair not only is going into the neck here, its also now extremely think on the sides and showing the skin underneath the hair which is clearly not intended

[rugged stratus]

yeah. i dont think its consistent for everyone though. my stuff appears the same as it was previous

[kind cove]

I AM being very harsh, but rightly so because this change deadass effects specifically ME

[inner tendon]

It doesn't just effect you, it effects everyone.

[gloomy crag]

Is it a visual bug or is it actually changed

[kind cove]

It effects me because this is one of the very few cosmetics broken

[kind cove]

It’s actually changed

They changed how hair works with cosmetics

[static trout]

We're talking this specifc ponytail hairstyle, right? Because quick glance at divashion I cannot see anything from you (I searched, from you, has image) with that helmet on where there ponytail shows

[civic lily]

more people will make it known(aka it effects ponytail) so give it time seriously

[kind cove]

Multiple long hair options are broken

[static trout]

I just wanna talk about this one at first. You need to make a proper comparison, otherwise I'm just gonna say "it works" now

I digged deeper - found one: #divashion message

[inner tendon]

You are absolutely welcome to criticise things constructively, but just tone down the shouting and drama.
it helps no one and makes people not listen to you.

[rugged stratus]

honestly nobody disagreeing that its broken... but you arent gonna get anywhere preaching to the choir... we all in the same boat. you need to escalate a ticket or post about it on twitter if you want devs to maybe see what you're mad about

[static trout]

Thing is about this patchnote - I read it as if you can toggle whether or not you wanna see the ponytail.

[atomic coral]

A toggle would make more sense

Question is whether its easy to implement

In a game this old

[inner tendon]

If it was easy to implement it would've been already, I'm sure it took a fair bit of time to get even this working.

[atomic coral]

Probably not, and not worth the resources

[atomic coral]

Yeah

[inner tendon]

It's important to remember that div2 is from 2019 release, so we can safely assume at least 2018/17 as major dev time.

[kind cove]

Its not

Its not a toggle, this is an change to how long hair works

[static trout]

"Added a new feature enabling in-game characters with longer hair to visibly retain their hairstyles while wearing bandanas, hats, or helmets."

[kind cove]

Meaning until they change it cosmetics are ruined

The helmet in my pics worked perfectly fine with all long hair options

[atomic coral]

Honestly just consider wony at this current point to be a trial run of what massive can pull off/what they can't for TD3

[static trout]

I know - which is why it would make sense a toggle was introduced - just not sure where said toggle would be.

[kind cove]

The change also just straight up didn’t apply to some helmets in the hat category

[inner tendon]

WONY was 4 years ago.

[atomic coral]

At this current point

Probably should've said post wony mb

[inner tendon]

div3 will absolutely not be out until Outlaws is done and likely not until Avatar has its DLC's all out either.

[atomic coral]

Should've said resolve then

[atomic coral]

Explains the talks of a year 7

[static trout]

Avatar and Star Wars Outlaws is gonna show us what the engine is capable of for TD3.
Resolve + QoL update + Seasons 2.0 + DLC will show us what direction TD3 is heading in game-wise.

[inner tendon]

Remember: MSV is real busy, there's many teams working on many projects right now. This is a small bug that is being actively worked on already, we know this.

[atomic coral]

Yeah

[kind cove]

Until more gameplay of outlaws comes out, it really doesn’t look that impressive

[atomic coral]

Reminds me of that incident of someone reporting a very specific pvp bug for TD1

While most resources were on TD2

[static trout]

Funny how you didn't mention Avatar in there :))

[inner tendon]

I'm actually really excited for Outlaws, because it is exactly what I've wanted the SW licence to be and hasn't been for a long time: open world.

[kind cove]

I don’t care about the avatar franchise

[atomic coral]

And we actually have a studio that knows how to make effective open worlds

[static trout]

Sure, but I mentioned both in regards to the capability of all the upgrades Snowdrop has gotten since the release of Div2

[inner tendon]

I'm trying to think of the last actual Open World and not just hubs and it's honestly probably SWTOR.

which is insane that it was 2011.

[kind cove]

Blame EA

[atomic coral]

Old republic? Jesus

[inner tendon]

the MMO one yeah.

[atomic coral]

That game is actually maintained still

Mmos really are long term effective

[inner tendon]

I love that SWTOR is still a thing, those devs are nuts.

[static trout]

from the official page

[atomic coral]

If EA closed that they'd be having some pissed customers

[static trout]

Guess SWTOR "doesn't count" because it's an mmo

[mellow trout]

isnt jedi survivor semi open world

[inner tendon]

Haven't played that yet so don't know, but Fallen Order was big hubs.

[atomic coral]

I mean we already had the incident of that other star wars game that got a remaster recently and got awful reviews as it needed 60 GB of space

[inner tendon]

SWTOR is technically big hubs, but they're REALLY big.

[atomic coral]

Hubs being the planets I assume

[inner tendon]

like, elder scrolls size yeah.

Technically it's not an entire planet each time, but it's so big that you legit can get lost.

[atomic coral]

Its level based

[mellow trout]

zeffo flashbacks

[atomic coral]

Ive seen jedi survivor getting broken apart already

[mellow trout]

much more to do if you wanna go back and explore every planet

[atomic coral]

They literally anticipated a sequence break

Or actually at least programmed a system to detect it in

[mellow trout]

yeah the speedruns are hilariously scuffed

[inner tendon]

oh here we go.
each zone is measured in multiles of WoW sizes.
alderaan being 8 times the size of a zone in WoW.

[atomic coral]

Reloading back to before the break is wild tho

[static trout]

When is that comparison from and what constitutes the size of a zone in WoW?

[mellow trout]

best part is you can just say no to the sequence break warning

[atomic coral]

Exactly

They knew people would try and they just let it happen

[inner tendon]

no idea havent played wow in years.
although it is noted that hoth is the size of a "continent" in wow.

[atomic coral]

Notably I saw Joseph Anderson break apart Jedi Survivor

[static trout]

Eh, would take both the reddit post and mmo-champion forum post from 2011 with a grain of salt - WoW has had a few zones since then

[inner tendon]

I'm not using a reddit post or one from 2011.

[static trout]

What's the link then?

[inner tendon]

okay I'm off for a while, stay sane.

[static trout]

Google query: "alderaan zone size"
First two results:
mmo-champion forum post from 2011
reddit post from 2011

Not finding anything else that compares alderaan to wow and saying it's 8 times the size

[frozen solar]

What's the best way to get tactical assessments?

I thought it was bounties but on the Bounty rewards tab it doesn't show tactical assessment

best way to farm rather

[cedar yacht]

Crafting

oh uh you farm named

[frozen solar]

are you effing kidding me

I didn't know yyou could craft them😐

[unborn minnow]

can you get the cosmetic items for the legacy manhunts ?

[frozen solar]

Ok now what's the best way to farm blueprints lol

CP's?

[cedar yacht]

Yeah

You can do some projects aswell

[frozen solar]

Yea projects I always do, just mean something I can constantly farm

[cedar yacht]

CP4 is the most consistent then

[atomic coral]

CPs are the only reason I have study extended mags rn

[frozen solar]

Yea I never do them I need to do them more

[atomic coral]

Sturdy Extended makes all the difference

[charred badger]

Hey guys, i bought the gamae 5 years ago when it came out and i never really played it, i played a lot of td1 back in the day so i kinda understand the game, i've come back now that the warlords of new york dlc was on discount but im really lost, can someone recommend me a video to get up to speed? i cant seem to find a mission because my map is full with icons n stuff

this is where i left off 5 years ago and i cant remember anything

[atomic coral]

Same here but was level 20

I mightve deleted that char by accident as well

[atomic coral]

Since you're world tier 2, I'd say do the invaded missions and start clearing strongholds

That, or you could just use the character boost right now

[charred badger]

what was world tier again?

[atomic coral]

And head straight to wony

[atomic coral]

Basically unlocked once level 30, its the whole black tusk invasion thing

At WT5 and Level 40 the invasion happens every week

But its not the entire map like the initial one

[charred badger]

i see nothing but sidemissions, im guessing thats what i should be doing? just to gain loot and xp?

[atomic coral]

The stronghold on the far left

Side missions I do suggest doing

[south island]

there should be some missions tied to the stronghold on ur left

[atomic coral]

Hes cleared em all

[south island]

oops

[atomic coral]

Mainly cause if you level this character to level 40, some side missions need to be cleared for bounties

[sudden matrix]

I always recommend players clear and unlock all missions even if you don't "have" to because they pop up in seasonal content or contain skills(legacy manhunt missions) that will give you an edge in certain builds.

[tropic relic]

Whats the Weekly stronghold?

[iron plover]

nice touch this one with Resources tab empty, good job indeed, not to mention talent change on various weapons 👍

how can you not love this game? and the developers? 🤣

[slim elk]

We LOVE Ubisoft.

[south island]

heavy emphasis on love

[iron plover]

#metoo 🤣

[frozen solar]

Is there any added benefit to getting as many players as possible in stuff like invaded missions or even when doing open world stuff?

[iron plover]

more enemies, more loot, marginal better

difficulty and directives makes the difference tho

[sudden matrix]

I personally think the player scaling isn't worth it. You don't get more XP but sharable loot is huge if you've got people helping you farm. Aside of that playing with people is what I like to do and it depends on if you've got friends to play with.

[civic lily]

it won't feel as bad to suck at the game if you have 3 other people in the lobby

[sudden matrix]

It do suck to carry 3 tho.

[civic lily]

If you don't get bad teammates you are the bad teammate

[wispy merlin]

me carrying 3 in legendary tidal

(it didn't go well)

[south island]

nice

[sudden matrix]

fricken lasers man

[civic lily]

all that time wasted

[sudden matrix]

Or did you even get there?

[wispy merlin]

no we haven't even gotten to hovercraft

[sudden matrix]

ouch

[south island]

wow

[civic lily]

Hovercraft is the real tidal basin final

[wispy merlin]

we keep wiping because we don't have enough damage

[civic lily]

also no checkpoint

[sudden matrix]

But I can't survive with an all red build and CC ep is stupid /s

[wispy merlin]

bro, one dude ran high end healer build and i told him to just run FI. he told me "i don't have it. you know how much time i took to make this build?"

[frozen solar]

Yea or if you dont need the loot is it worth it. Like I'm thinking have 1 guy with me just for some help and if I die I have some backup

[sudden matrix]

You wasted your time, you can craft FI and every item is perfect rolled.

[civic lily]

tell me you got division 2 4 years ago without telling me you got division 2 4 years ago

[wispy merlin]

literally

[wispy merlin]

he was shd 2k

[civic lily]

you have to do iron horse to get those bps

[wispy merlin]

either he made the build then slept under a rock for 4 years or he followed some yt

[civic lily]

first one

[sudden matrix]

Regardless TL is just as easy.

[sudden matrix]

Why not both shrug

[civic lily]

even worse

watching "returning agent build" videos

[sudden matrix]

I honestly don't understand most of these build vids people make. It's usually harder to farm items that you need to roll with strange stats and it's just a poopy build most the time. Like here guys return to the game and struggle... wtf

[civic lily]

all the meta builds been covered 4 times over so all that's left are meme builds

They just used the wrong title and thumbnail

[sudden matrix]

100% would not mind seeing updated meta builds tho. Even if the vid was a refresher or included meta and off meta variations that would be a nice change of pace.

[inner tendon]

A big part of the reason why weird builds are so prevalent in clickbait vids is likely down to div2's complexity.
I'm not saying that they're doing it on purpose because people who watch have no idea how to meta build and it looks fancy and there's a lot of views as a feedback loop, but I'm not-not saying that.

[frozen solar]

Can you get any exotic from loot drops or exotic caches that (as far as I thought) you would usually have to build by collecting parts?

I got Liberty yesterday from a cache

[rugged stratus]

raid, incursion, and project exo wont drop.
when you complete some of the projects those specific exo will be in the loot pool after that

[frozen solar]

Yea those ones I know. I'm talking about Chatterbox, Nemesis, Liberty etc.

I thought you had to collect parts and have a D50 to build Liberty but I just got it

[rugged stratus]

happy accident ig. nem will be added to that pool if you have the blueprint before full project complete.

[frozen solar]

Hmm maybe I got liberty blueprint as a reward and didnt even notice if that's possible

[sudden matrix]

You only need the BP for it to go into your general exotic loot pool.

[rugged stratus]

no clue, it might have been added accidently ... eagleburger was available from the incursion chest for a short time before patched

[sudden matrix]

But if you didn't have it it's probably like local said, as for what other strange bugs might surface only time will tell.

Imagine someone pulling a regulus out of an exo cache.

[static trout]

Bless their soul if it ever happened - but I also hope they would never tell anyone so it could be a secret :3

[frozen solar]

ah ok

[drifting quartz]

Random q is there such a build as a lazy one? Throw a drone or seeker out, not have to worry about skills, simple cover shooting etc

Also why do the specs have certain skills (like a 4th version of skill) that doesn't feel right with the spec special weapon, grenade etc

[wispy seal]

did they change/fix dark zone weekly xp

[static trout]

What a gamer Yannick is

[worldly fjord]

Poor souls are doing it in 4 man scaling

[nimble spruce]

There's a spreadsheet pinned in #td2-build-advice with a bunch of good builds including a drone turret one that's really easy to play, if a bit slower than red dps builds

It's often referred to as the afk build since it functions with very minimal interaction from the player

[amber snow]

if i dont login is it still likely my stuff got rerolled today?

[oblique surge]

Probably

[winter ibex]

Can anyone speed run me through New York?

On Xbox

[amber snow]

can try the matchmaking tab and requesting backup

[rugged stratus]

logging wont make a difference. rerolled either way. its not everything though. i havent found a single weapon in my stash/inventory that was changed. but i generally farm the right stats and reroll talents. its native rolls that changed. rolled talents are correct.. if you have a few weapons where you rolled dttooc because the talent was right, those would be the ones that possibly got rerolled

[rugged stratus]

#lfg-xbox

[amber snow]

i think anything i put expertise in were weapons were i rerolled talents cuz meta talent can change

[rugged stratus]

yeah youre probably good them, how i did mine as well

[winter ibex]

@rugged stratus says no access

[amber snow]

u need the xbox role, u got pc role

[winter ibex]

I have both

[rugged stratus]

goto #557396261662097409 and click xbox

[amber snow]

pc role prob overriding ur xbox role

is the reroll bug just weapons?

[rugged stratus]

ive got all 3 so i can post the platform specific channels

yeah, just weapons

[amber snow]

hmm so its prob not too terrible

[rugged stratus]

nah, i thought it was gonna be something like the rifle damage on ar's

[amber snow]

imagine it rerolled the exotic talents lol

[rugged stratus]

might end up with something pretty interesting. like a chatter elmo

[amber snow]

gimmie a chatterbox oreo

[rugged stratus]

fast as hell, ammo reserves depleted in 47 seconds

[amber snow]

hmm i got lucky, nothing noticable was rerolled

[warm lake]

is the chameleon a good weapon?

[mellow trout]

Not really

[static trout]

And gaming on a Threadripper
They were celebrating the 5Y anniversary, thought it was awesome to share

[drifting quartz]

These specialisations are doing my head in......I kinda want the drone one, with rocket launcher and cluster grenades

[weary swallow]

can i find Dark Winter or Lady Death in countdown?

[kind cove]

Lady death yes

[amber snow]

kinda if u count using countdown credits to buy named caches for dark winter

[plush steeple]

Yes

I’ve had lady death drop for me multiple times in countdown

[weary swallow]

kewl ty

[worldly fjord]

Lady death yes, dark winter no

[iron plover]

Dark Winter could drop from named caches bought from Countdown vendor

[inner tendon]

Correct, however the point is that Dark Winter can't drop from Countdown itself.

and just in case people reading that are confused: all Named Item Caches have the same loot pool, no matter where you get them from.

[raw elk]

I am kinda wondering something can you target loot in descent just like in summit ?

[narrow kraken]

Don't think so

[static trout]

Descent only gives loot via caches and those aren't affected by TL

[bold fulcrum]

Is the weekly descent project rewards fixed?

Cause I'm not sure if it's worth getting the descent comms if I can't even receive them

[static trout]

Yes, you also get every comm you've missed

[bold fulcrum]

"Fucking finally!"-Random Named BTSU

[sudden snow]

no god-roll stuff in Textile Vendor anymore?

[inner tendon]

The contents of the caches are randomised, they aren't meant to be guaranteed godrolls.

[static trout]

The caches he sold that was 100% god rolled were green in your inventory (where it is now yellow) - maybe it was changed.

[raw elk]

i was checking the gunner out on the site but if i am understanding it a bit correctly that one leans into pure dps with some build lmg talents ?

[sudden matrix]

Spec is mostly preference tho, they all have little perks and gunner is great because of ROf on kill, 10% AOK, and every 3rd reload is 50% faster(I think?), as well as it's free ammo every x amount of time.

I'd suggest to use them all and level them all, as your builds and playstyle will mostly decide which is best for you.

[drifting quartz]

So I'm trying to fill that Library up, slowly getting there, I can't deconstruct anymore (not sure what I'm meant to be crafting lol)

[sudden matrix]

You can donate excess materials to proficiency but brand materials just fill up eventually.

[narrow kraken]

Wish you could donate that too tbh, it just sits there not being used ever until that one occasion

@hollow blaze it's a unique "skill/weapon" you randomly get ammo for it by killed enemies

[hollow blaze]

aaah ok

I undestand now

thanks

[fallow inlet]

Hey Rivens

[blazing timber]

Hey saph I beat you to hey

[lament talon]

Hey all!

I just wanted to ask if there is an endgame I should rush for or complete everything in Washington, projects, etc to have the most fun? I dont know if the game starts at endgame or whatsoever

[static trout]

It's a marathon, not a sprint
Enjoy the story in DC and WONY - worry about endgame after

[lament talon]

idk about anything story at all but world design is so cool

like 8 hours in, and dunno what is going on in story lol

[raw elk]

have you watched the cutscenes and listend to the npc's?

[lament talon]

um, no

[raw elk]

there you go

[lament talon]

lol

shooting is fun cmon, im not here to listen

[valid bronze]

I have regulus and ouro at 25 expertise what should I upgrade next?

[sudden matrix]

Revive hive.

[valid bronze]

I completely forgot about skills

[sudden matrix]

Wait is this PC?

[valid bronze]

....

No

[sudden matrix]

REEEEEE

[valid bronze]

Expertise 5 on pc😭

[sudden matrix]

Idk man depends on what you play.

[valid bronze]

What are good options in general to upgrade

[rugged stratus]

Airburst seeker

[sudden matrix]

Well you PVP mostly so explosive sticky yeah?

[valid bronze]

Decoy and defender, artificer, achilles, oxy?

[sudden matrix]

Achilles and oxy are good, the others eh

[valid bronze]

What does the sticky upgrade do?

[sudden matrix]

Damage

[valid bronze]

Defender for pvp, decoy for threat

[rugged stratus]

Jammer upgrades radius, not sure of pulse is the same

[valid bronze]

Not bad for jammer

Emp sticky? I use that more in pvp

[sudden matrix]

I forget what that even does.

The expertise upgrade.

[rugged stratus]

Some of the stuff is duration of status iirc

[valid bronze]

That would be good in pvp

Any other guns worth going to 25 on?

[rugged stratus]

I would say anything with damage is worth at least upgrading till exo* start being cost... at least the stuff you use

[valid bronze]

I don't think any mmrs break new thresholds with expertise

[valid bronze]

Yea that's what I been doing

Most of my stuff is at 12

Maybe st Elmo?

Don't really use it though

[sudden matrix]

I wouldn't do anything you don't see any regular use of.

[valid bronze]

F2k and sr-1 are the main ones I don't have upgraded that I use a lot as far as weapons

[rocky oar]

should i keep this ? is it worth keeping?

[rugged stratus]

Use it in your library. You'll want damage to targets out of cover and a good talent. Need at least one of those on the drop so it can be recalibrated to a solid piece.

[rocky oar]

i mean is the weapon good or not ? i usely don't use SMG,

[rugged stratus]

Not in it's current state 👆

[cedar yacht]

Extract it

[rugged stratus]

You can check the pinned spreadsheet in #td2-build-advice
Itll will have dps stats for all weapons

[rocky oar]

oeky thanks

[valid bronze]

Emp sticky is blast radius

[cedar yacht]

Thats good for pvp right?

[valid bronze]

I'd say so

Most of the time you shoot it at the floor 🤣

[pliant sonnet]

Is this decent

[charred badger]

hey guys, i’m trying to complete a mission but every time i get to a certain room in the mission i get kicked out of the game, it happened twice today in the morning and now that im back home it happened again, anyone has any idea of what could be causing this? this is extremely annoying since i have to start the mission from 0 every time

this is the one, i’ve done it the 3 times by myself tho, matchmaking won’t find anyone

[static trout]

If you had obliterate on it yes

A ceska chest with Obliterate but no chc/chd would give more damage

[static trout]

There's a lot of server instability being reported after the update yesterday.
Reboot pc + router and hope for the best

[junior sequoia]

How exactly does the hazard protection from the cavalier work? This means if I have 100% of Hazard protection all of the allies are going to be immune when "charged" is activated?

[soft hound]

"being reported"? How? How do we report issues? Ubi support is a useless black hole. Is there an actual useful report method?

[pliant sonnet]

Trying to find a ceska with oblitrate

[inner tendon]

It's best to find a Ceska with the right Attributes and then alter the Talent.

[pliant sonnet]

I have the attributes

[inner tendon]

You have changed one of the attributes with the wrong talent, correct? Means that for this build that part is useless.

[pliant sonnet]

No I optimised it?

[inner tendon]

You see that little icon over the chc (crit chance)? That means its been recalibrated.

[pliant sonnet]

And my stoopid ass noticed i didn't need to optimise it

[pliant sonnet]

1 second imma prove a point

@inner tendon see never touched the crit chance 🤣

[inner tendon]

The icon in your menu means that you have recalibrated that slot, it means that the rest of the slots are now locked from recalibrating.
Unless this is some sort of visual bug, then the piece is stuck with Tamper Proof.

[pliant sonnet]

Idk if its my gun but my striker build slaps

[inner tendon]

acs stacks and a p416 w/optimist? And the rest of the build is fairly meta.
you've got a solid build, just need to get that Talent on your chest (& maybe a different AR, but that one ain't that bad) and you are gonna leak meta from your eyes.

[pliant sonnet]

Wsym

Wdym*

[inner tendon]

4xstriker, Coyotes Mask, ceska oblit chest, acs, and a fast firing AR is the "meta" striker setup.

[static trout]

I'd recommend reading the pinned explanation of the tinkering station and crafting station

[pliant sonnet]

This game must hate me still no oblivion

[static trout]

If you have obliterate in your recalibration library, any ceska chest will do.
Talent > correct stats > max stats

[pliant sonnet]

That's the thing I don't know if I do

[static trout]

Tinkering Station > Library > Chest > Talents

[narrow kraken]

Is scorpio a good weapon?

[pliant sonnet]

Idk if its my playstyle or what but I thought striker meant to slap it has 0 survivability or is that just me playing to aggro

[vocal helm]

Hey guys, I am putting proficiency levels into my armour that supposedly increase my armour by 1% per level yet I am not seeing my armour total go up in my stats. Am I dumb?

[slim elk]

Oh yes it is, one of the best shotty's

[narrow kraken]

How about bullet king?

[slim elk]

That plus in armor is obtained when you Expertise the weapon, not when proficient. Proficiency is to unlock Expertise for that gear.

[slim elk]

Same as Scorpio, with a good build you'll see what I mean

[vocal helm]

So I have to get it to a certain level before i see the gains?

[narrow kraken]

Oh thx

[slim elk]

When the floating warning appears with Proficient - Chestpiece (as an example) then you can start Expertise

So yes, you need that gear Proficient

[vocal helm]

Alright, I see. Thanks

[sudden matrix]

That increase in armor is based on the base armor not the blue core, so at expertise 25 for all 6 slots will only net you just a bit over 1 blue core worth of armor.

[vocal helm]

I mean, that may not be much it is better than nothing I suppose.

[wispy merlin]

yeah but you could be investing those same resources to other more useful things

[sudden matrix]

Well it's 49 exos to 25 so 294 in total, not counting all the other resources.

[wispy merlin]

like weapon or skill expertise

doing armor expertise is like scraping the bottom of the barrel

[sudden matrix]

Armor expertise is the last thing you can do to get anywhere with a build and usually even the top most sweaty players don't even entertain it.

[dark tiger]

Can I farm lady death in summit or descent?

[wispy merlin]

i solo legendaries with 0 armor expertise all red, so you don't need it at all

it's such a minor gain compared to weapon expertise

[sudden matrix]

You can't exactly farm gear from descent other than caches. Summit yes but it'll take a while.

[sudden matrix]

imo the input=/=output

[dark tiger]

Thanks. So would the best way be to farm the named enemies in ny?

[sudden matrix]

Your best way would be challenging countdown targeting SMGs and buying an exotic cache after every two successful runs.

[slim elk]

I got mine from an exotic cache, so CD is your way

[sudden matrix]

Mind if I ask why you are trying for the lady death?

[dark tiger]

Alright thanks peeps. I don’t quite remember where to buy the exotic caches but I’ll figure that out. I’ve taken a long hiatus

[dark tiger]

I’m putting together a solo dz/pvp build

[slim elk]

Next to the Season Place.
Left side of the BoO there's the Countdown Vendor

[dark tiger]

Appreciate that

[sudden matrix]

It's a desk with computer.

[slim elk]

Invisible vendor.

[sudden matrix]

Online orders only.

[slim elk]

It's the Amazon of TD2.

[vocal helm]

Makes sense! I was mostly using armour as an example. Thanks for the help guys

[loud flame]

any word about what the dlc coming next year will entail?

[cedar yacht]

only info is brooklyn and its coming out in 2025

[loud flame]

ooo

I wish they did a seasons gimmic with td2 where throughout the year the enviornment would change

like snowing in winter leaves falling more in fall

more greenery in summer/spring

[vocal helm]

My biggest request is letting us do old season reward tracks

[dark tiger]

Appreciate that suggestion it dropped first encounter from some random on cd

[narrow kraken]

Is capacitor good?

[nimble spruce]

yes, on a skill build or skill/crit hybrid

[narrow kraken]

Nice is scorpio good for getting hunter masks?

[nimble spruce]

yes, easiest option

[narrow kraken]

Nice

Idk how I got it from summit but yeah

[dark tiger]

Only way to get shield splintered from killing all the hunters?

[nimble spruce]

yup

[dark tiger]

Time to go huntin

[kind cove]

They finally updated dread edict’s design

Looks good now

[slim elk]

gold and white, so beautiful

[kind cove]

No more glossy texture

[static trout]

I like the idea - but I'd rather they changed weather to match the "lore time". We're in mid-end october rn

[slim elk]

when Shield Splinterer is unlocked, it gets added to the general loot pool?

[sudden matrix]

No. Cassie will have it tho.

[slim elk]

ohh, thx

[dark tiger]

I’m so bad at this game. The crimson hunter is mercing my ass

[slim elk]

it's better if you kill them in normal difficulty

[dark tiger]

I guess that would make sense

I just swapped it back to hard

I normally just run in challenging

[sudden matrix]

Yeah if your default is still challenging the hunter are probably gonna be difficult unless normal. Might want to put an bit of effort into a sorted build vs having to redo hunters tho.

[dark tiger]

I run HB with acs and kingbreaker. It just doesn’t feel as strong as the last time I played.

But I dropped to hard and he was a chump and beat him no problem

But my game crashed after and it didn’t save it Jfc

[sudden matrix]

lol

Yeah HB/KB isn't a bad setup if you make sure to have a ceska mixed in.

[static trout]

That's for you @sudden matrix

[cedar yacht]

soul carry lol

[static trout]

What?

He had nothing to do with it

[wispy merlin]

fire EP ftw

[sudden matrix]

Breh sub 5 first try....

[static trout]

Okay?

[wispy merlin]

souless too pro

[sudden matrix]

lol it's joke yo. I know people who run it in low 3s.

[static trout]

I sent it because you asked, that's all

[sudden matrix]

I haven't practiced any missions really, think about it sometimes but solo play is kinda bleh.

[sudden matrix]

I'm always down for friendly speed comp tho. It's a lot of fun.

[static trout]

Some missions I can understand speedrunning - just as long as we aren't doing space admin, god it's boring to turn those satellites

I wasn't exactly trying to beat times anyways, I was texting and shit while autorunning
I only do league for the fast xp from 10x a mission + the trophies

[sudden matrix]

I do 30 thingys for league first week and then again the next week. I'll pick up that bonus xp while doing speeds so eh. I skipped the last GE too, idk GEs feel like a chore more than anything now.

I'd rather carry/teach incursions/raids vs most things in the game tho.

[static trout]

Polarity was nice, but I played HH a lot.
I do the same with leagues, 30 or 40 depending on what missions, sometimes i cba with the last one

[raw elk]

Dumb question i picked up the field research for gunner i can just complete that on demolitionist right?

[drifting quartz]

If you get max Accuracy/ Stability what does that actually do?

[sudden matrix]

Stability takes out idle sway and accuracy reduces your spray cone.

[valid bronze]

Most GE suck to do

[valid bronze]

Yes you can

[pliant sonnet]

Yo so I'm trying to get the firestarter shield thing

What's the fastest way to get it

[wispy merlin]

you mean firewall? you need to unlock the specialization

[pliant sonnet]

Ye that

I'm trying to find fastest way to get it

[wispy merlin]

there's no faster way than doing the field objectives

you can't speed it up

[pliant sonnet]

That's what I'm on about any way to speed up the field challenges

[wispy merlin]

nope

[pliant sonnet]

Well sheet

[raw elk]

Thank you 😄

[hexed wave]

Hey y'all i got a question for you, Me and my friends been trying to do some raids and the incersion but have been uncessessfull, Can anyone spare some tips or even helpfull guides?

[true siren]

Builds are 70 to 80% of what gets you through higher difficulty. The incursion only has the one difficulty, but the raid has 2, those being Normal and Discovery. Discovery has matchmaking but you cannot get any of the raid exclusive items from it, while also being different enough to not be worth running. Your best bet to clearing the incursion/raids is to get a decent DPS build going (strikers is probably the easiest to get working, check #td2-build-advice's pinned messages for the spreadsheet, theres a guide in the builds tab for the strikers build i'm talking about)

[hexed wave]

Ty aspect, what about team composition.

[true siren]

For team comps, in the raids, team comp is less like stuff like Final Fantasy and more like... 7 dudes with big guns and one guy keeping the other 7 alive. There are some portions where you might use a tank, but that will usually be an experienced player's job, which you can optionally learn later. Damage is the most important thing, no-one wants an encounter to take 2 hours more than it should because half the team took drone/turret builds in. In the raids- generallly 7 people with all red builds (strikers or high end, either is fine) and a healer. For the incursion, 3 DPS (strikers is more preferred here) and a healer

[hexed wave]

ty for your help here aspect

my friends and i just spent 3 hours and we couldnt get past the first area

[true siren]

Having a healer helps, knowing how to actually clear it does help as well.

If you go into a raid with less than 8 people, you are kinda destined to fail. Try the incursion first, as it does have matchmaking which can lead to a clear, and its only 4 people rather than 8. Get your dps builds up and running and try again- You've got this!

[sudden matrix]

There are discords that will take FTCs and teach you the raid too.

[true siren]

As nice as this discord is, Ubisoft dropped by awhile back and deleted the voice chats, leading the LFG portions of the server to be... less than ideal.

[turbid igloo]

Is there an actual (W.I.P) Brooklyn DLC? I'm not that much in news

[sudden matrix]

Yurp, they pushed it back to next year tho.

[turbid igloo]

Even better, the more days it take to release the better it will be, will it be free tho?

[sudden matrix]

Pretty sure it''ll be paid DLC

[mellow trout]

Id imagine itll be paid

[turbid igloo]

Aw man

Might get it on a promotion

My country's current economy is shit rn

[sudden matrix]

Eh they give tons of free content, WONY is well worth the money even at full price.

[dark tiger]

Anyone know why I can’t get the spectre to spawn?

[slim elk]

Only past 21:00 ingame hours

[dark tiger]

It is currently 0408

So when does the time reset?

[slim elk]

idrk actually

[dark tiger]

And I’m assuming there’s no way to advance the time that I’ve missed?

[rugged stratus]

days are somewhere around 45 minutes in game. it shouldnt be too long a wait. night time is 2100-0500

[dark tiger]

Thanks I guess I somehow screwed the window order up

[rugged stratus]

food truck hunters?

[dark tiger]

Spectre at the mausoleum

Trynna get shieldbreaker

I think that’s what it’s called

[rugged stratus]

nice

[dark tiger]

Trynna put together this solo dz build

[slim elk]

(please ignore this)

[static trout]

Days or daytime?
Because a full 24hr day is approx 72 minutes, with nighttime being approx 23 minutes of that iirc

[rugged stratus]

oh 72, mb . i thought it was lower. thanks

[rugged stratus]

i find it hard to believe. if it was rerolling exotics or even just regulus it should be universal. ide have to see a SS of the weapon itself.
mine didnt change

[slim elk]

I don't believe the statement he made at all too.

[sudden matrix]

You think people would just go on the internet and lie??

[slim elk]

Basically

[sudden matrix]

lol

[static trout]

That's quite an assumption 🤯

[dark tiger]

I can get everyday carrier from cd right?

[mellow trout]

Yes

[civic forge]

What do I do once I get level 30

[slim elk]

Do you have WoNY?

[civic forge]

What’s that

[raw elk]

do you get more points when levelling up a spec on a higher difficulty?

[slim elk]

warlords of new york expansion

[slim elk]

not really

[civic forge]

What does it do

[mellow trout]

Increased level "cap" and access to a wealth of new content

[civic forge]

Does the level cap increase make you do more dmg or sum?

[mellow trout]

More damage, more health, more armour, better gear, more content

[civic forge]

Does it cost money

[barren maple]

It does

[inner tendon]

The entire DLC is one single cost, and regularly goes on sale for 70%+ off.
no extra cost on top of that.

[acoustic lark]

when i reset my summit to floor 1, will this also reset my ascent and tactical summit challenges i have completed up until this point in the current ascent?

[lament talon]

Should I do all the projects popping up in regions? or their rewards are not worth the time spent?

[static trout]

While leveling from 1-30?

[lament talon]

yep

[static trout]

I'd do them, realistically they're done quite naturally while exploring between missions

[lament talon]

sometimes it says go get that shd cache, and some players say dont even care shds until warlords, real grind starts there etc

[static trout]

SHD Caches are to unlock your skills and stuff

SHD levels are something different and not something you even gain access to before beating warlords

[dark tiger]

Anybody know why the ghost Hunter poofed away in the middle of my battle with him?

[nimble spruce]

If they don't take any damage for long enough they get bored and leave

[pliant sonnet]

When do the vendors restock

[worldly fjord]

Tuesdays

[pliant sonnet]

😭😭😭

[pliant sonnet]

Iz this good or will I need chc on it

[cedar schooner]

For now? it's fine, roll a talent like obliterate on it. For the long run, you want Crit chance/Crit damage.

[pliant sonnet]

Ye ik

Been trying to farm countdown for one lol cause I already have the obliterate talent

[cedar schooner]

It's not the hardest piece to find, since you have the advantage of going after a "weight roll" for it, but it'll take a bit. It's worth the farm though.

[pliant sonnet]

Game been toying with me lmao keeps giving me the damage then something else 😭🤣😭🤣

[static trout]

Considering the one you're wearing doesn't have obliterate on it, please, take that new chest, recalibrate the talent to obliterate and swap it out.
Then farm for a CHC+CHD one that you can roll the talent on.

[dusk sluice]

Is weapon handling% like 50/50 stability and accuracy?

[inner tendon]

Each % in WH is 1% in Accuracy, Stability, Reload Speed, and Swap Speed.
So 1% is 1% in each of all 4.

[narrow kraken]

Finally fuckin got it

[worldly fjord]

crafting bench blessed me with 2 a while ago, after trying for over 100 times

[sage niche]

@narrow kraken had tons of them drop in countdown

[rugged stratus]

Not god rolled. Deconstruct /s

[iron plover]

@sage niche you need exactly this specific one, with skill haste and repair skills in order to change armor with skill tier for using it in healer build for Incursion (Survivalist 6 skill tier)

[worldly fjord]

actually farming for it is more impressive tho i gotta say

[rugged stratus]

Isnt faraday useful for incursion healer.

[iron plover]

The Setup is better, paired with Lefty

[sage niche]

Yes more team damage buff +Sledgehammer just melts bosses

[mellow trout]

Healer setups are used for incursions and raids alike

[sage niche]

@mellow trout Raids, Incursions and legendary's

[narrow kraken]

Its a nice surprise

[mellow trout]

Id rather have crowd control than a healer tbh

[narrow kraken]

I had given up and was just doing countdown for some pieces

[mellow trout]

On a legendary

[narrow kraken]

Never had such luck sadly

Had a bunch of unicorns but it was always status/skill damage

[sage niche]

@narrow kraken I must have the luck of gods 🤣

[narrow kraken]

Yup

[dark tiger]

Can you get max attribute rolls from crafting? Or is it just better to just keep grinding cd for it?

[rugged stratus]

Very rare. Farming cd is better

Crafting is better for the harder to farm pieces where you need attributes/talent correct so you can roll the main core

[dark tiger]

Ok thanks. I’m trynna put together that vondoom solo dz build and some of it is just a nightmare. Finally on the last two two hunters (last 6 I guess) for shieldsplinterer

[sudden matrix]

I'd suggest staying away from yt builds but regardless of that you'll want many builds as pvp is go out with your favorite build and then people use counter builds and you'll need to counter the counter with a counter build typically.

[dark tiger]

I just don’t even know where to start with pvp builds. I don’t know how to allocate my attributes and what not

[narrow kraken]

Depends a lot anyways there's a lot of variations of builds that counters this or that or just unique ones alone

Id say having a basic strikers is always nice

[dark tiger]

Thanks. I’ll have to look up a strikers then because idk what that is.

[narrow kraken]

Oh you are early early game

[dark tiger]

I’ve just been on hiatus for a while. Played for about 3 months a year or so ago. And beat vanilla d2 on release. I have a HB build I’ve been running it just doesn’t feel as strong as it did

[agile sonnet]

Hi all, is anyone who are removed your exotic weapon in your inventory after TU20.2?

[narrow matrix]

How much should you be at for expertise 25 / 386/386 items proficient?

It still says 10/90 level 25

[rugged stratus]

Every time they introduce new items it has been finishing slightly above the new expertise level.
I've seen it as high as 30 proficient levels above max expertise (3 items worth).
When I get home I can look at mine, probably the same

[stoic bear]

Yo I better get my exotic comps back, this update fucked all my weapons up. I spend over 200 exotics comp to max weapon out and they are all shit

Trash ass game fucking devs can’t do right…HIRE PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT TO DO

[narrow matrix]

No

[rugged stratus]

I'm sure pc talent will be fixed... playstation probably fuckd tho /s

[narrow matrix]

I haven’t noticed any of my talents messed up yet

[sudden matrix]

I actually didn't have any funk talents.

[rugged stratus]

Same. It's just weapons that had original talent roll.
It's probably pretty easy to fix once they figure out what offset their database

[narrow matrix]

I just wanna be able to check my resources without using the crafting table / expertise menu 😂

[rugged stratus]

Watch scavenging page as well 🍻

The issue is very similar to when ar's all got rolled to rifle damage.

Agents that were kinda smart and farmed weapons with the right attributes just to keep their talents flexible so their expertise upgrades didnt get wasted on a dead talent, had zero issues... 😎

[sudden matrix]

imo if you are gonna dump expertise into a weapon it should only be one with a talent you can recal. Never know what the new season will bring.

[pliant sonnet]

After 3 days of trying I FINALLY GOT IT YEY

[narrow matrix]

Nice

[empty tendon]

is it still possible to get Emperor's Guard from named item caches? I can't get it for two weeks now, already opened about 100 caches
lots of dark winters / RnRs / Apartments, but this kneepads are unicorn to me

[raw elk]

What would be a good place to farm for Pestilence ? ^^

[narrow kraken]

Yes

[empty tendon]

alright, I'll keep trying, thanks

[rugged stratus]

Lmg target loot. Anywhere

[wispy seal]

I jus deconstucted some stuff in my stash n it said i recieved nothing is that a bug and if so is it jus visual or did it actually give me nothing

[rugged stratus]

Means something is full

Most likely protective fabric/receiver components

[verbal mantle]

Hi guys can I have question

[rugged stratus]

You can use some of those full materials to level up proficiency on bad skills or weapons not available do it's not wasted next time you decon

[wispy seal]

im not full tho thats the thing

[rugged stratus]

Are you sure? It could be opt mats as well

[verbal mantle]

I returned bk after like year but I'm struggling now with bunch of dces it says connection issue delta 03 or something like that

[nimble spruce]

Yeah that's a new issue with the latest patch

Will hopefully be fixed in the coming weeks

[raw elk]

No specific mob or boss ?

[inner tendon]

Nah farming from named enemies is a chumps game.

you get one single chance per run to get it.
TL gets you a smaller chance, but it's per every enemy within the range, and Directives increase that drop rate.

[raw elk]

Oh ok thanks Rivens 😄

[inner tendon]

The one major alteration to this rule is if the mission where the boss drops it is also the same TL.
then something like JTC on mask is actually a rather fun idea.

[verbal mantle]

Thank you

[latent spade]

anyone else getting increased amount of delta 03 today?

[inner tendon]

Yep, it's a known bug and its being investigated.

[static trout]

#ask-td2-community message

The "JTC on mask" just reminded me of this old calculation I did, but it's impossible to guess how many minutes it takes to get X amount of loot.
8-10 minutes JTC runs isn't something I'm expecting from someone looking for a Coyote's Mask either tho.

[civic forge]

So I’m level 24 rn and it’s telling me to do a stronghold do I do all my side quests before the stronghold?

[sudden matrix]

You can do whatever you'd like really. Just know side missions give you 1/3 of a level and they can be nice if you wanna do main missions and strong holds for most levels and then do side missions to meet new level requirements or to just finish leveling quicker.

[narrow matrix]

Did they nerf emp sticky on turrets for incursion? It is not working for me

[sudden matrix]

Don't think so, you sure you are hitting the top of the turret?

[narrow matrix]

Yes

[sudden matrix]

I mean tbh I never deal with the turrets, I always oxy or have some in the group do oxy.

[rancid lake]

Is anyone else getting constant disconnects?

[worldly fjord]

yes

[golden linden]

Yes

[pliant sonnet]

Time to try farm the St elmos any suggestions

[rugged stratus]

countdown. ar target. possible drop but you can also use the credits earned to buy exo caches

[loud flame]

is the chameleon good?

[slim elk]

With a certain build, it may deal damage but if not, then it's just a free exotic component

[dark tiger]

Is there a “collections” tab where I can see what exotics I have vs don’t?

[sudden matrix]

I think the spreadsheet has a check list of sorts... Pinned in #td2-build-advice

[dark tiger]

Awesome thanks

[sudden matrix]

Ah shid it's a gearset counter.... @foggy needle Could I suggest an exotic addition to the gearset counter?

[foggy needle]

https://tenor.com/view/ragnaros-ragnaros-the-firelord-world-of-warcraft-hearthstone-wow-gif-5006682628657023999

i have been summoned

[foggy needle]

sure i got a few mins what up

[sudden matrix]

Basically gearset counter tab with exotics on the list too.

[foggy needle]

AH sure

[sudden matrix]

Now that I'm peeping at it it's missing newer sets too, I'll 100% endorse it to all new players too.

[cyan dust]

why cant i look at my reresources?

[sudden matrix]

#news-and-announcements

[cyan dust]

how do i get thos?

[rugged stratus]

solar farm control point has a ton of material caches inside and the area around it.
im not sure which gear you gotta break down to get that tho. you can use shd points as well if you need them quick

[foggy needle]

DONE well a quick rough one at least on the sheet

[sudden matrix]

@dark tiger The man has answered! Exotic tab created with a god roll option too. Thank you Azurmen.

[dark tiger]

Hell yeah

[foggy needle]

hmmmm should do a named item one too 🤔 thatll be later though lol

[dark tiger]

Appreciate it peeps

[foggy needle]

[sudden matrix]

Soooo many named items...

[foggy needle]

RIGHT!

[civic lily]

do not

[foggy needle]

like still need to fully update the sheet man.. just not enough time

[civic lily]

there's so many named items I can't even fit them on my stash and a second character

[civic lily]

The classic m60 replica and the normal classic m60 have different daamge numbers

on there

[foggy needle]

That's what she said.!!

[civic lily]

[foggy needle]

Busy now but can you dm that please

[wispy merlin]

binoculars

[dark tiger]

So. Pestilence… dz exclusive yeah? Or can I pull from exotic crates? Don’t have my dz build yet

[loud flame]

does the urban mdr have an exotic varient like it did in the first game?

[barren maple]

No it doesn’t, I wish it did though but I realize how op it would be

[loud flame]

I LOVED it in the first game

[barren maple]

Same

[loud flame]

is it a relatively good dmr?

[barren maple]

It’s decent

[loud flame]

I usually like running a smg/ar/whatever then a sniper/dmr/marksmanrifle

[barren maple]

I usually run a ar and a shotgun

[cyan dust]

why cant i upgrade it more?

[foggy needle]

Because you need to level up the expertise system more, great guide on it pinned this channel

[foggy needle]

Yes it does. The exotic rifle this season is urban MDR.

[foggy needle]

It's a world drop now, so just farm target loot for beat chance in CD

[loud flame]

😮 @barren maple

[barren maple]

👌🏻

[dark tiger]

Oh cool thanks!

[loud flame]

what tier is it, I haven't gotten to wony yet cause I just bought the game last week. I'm already level 30 just haven't beaten the main story yet

[foggy needle]

None, it's from descent game mode this season

[cyan dust]

how do i do that?

[mellow trout]

Unfortunately it's nowhere near as good as the old urban MDR

[loud flame]

😪

[mellow trout]

Although tbh id say it's because of the amount of classy builds you could drop the urban MDR on in the first game

Pred, sentry, firecrest etc

[inner tendon]

Increase the Proficiency with gearsets/items/skills, etc.
to do that, just donate the junk stuff you get to the Expertise menu. "Mark as junk" anything you don't want.

The order for loot you find in the game at an endgame level is; Keep if good > Recal Library if needed > Expertise Donate > Deconstruct > Sell.

[drifting quartz]

Is Momento any good? Someone's just let me have it

[mellow trout]

It's one of the best pieces in the game for solo play

[valid bronze]

Does anyone have the chart of exotic drop rate?

[slim elk]

local has it

[valid bronze]

I found it

[drifting quartz]

Ok these Invaded missions.....do I need to be leader of the group for it to clear???

[mellow trout]

Uh no?

[dark tiger]

How well does status effect builds work in pvp

[civic forge]

If I’m level 30 can I use the Coyote mask or no

[mellow trout]

They're pretty good but easily countered

[dark tiger]

So if I’m trying to put together a build, and I’m trying to roll 4-5 blue cores. Do I have to just hope I get the right attributes I want if I have to tinker with the cores or am I missing something

[mellow trout]

Precisely

If you wanna change the core you need the right attributes/talents

[frigid chasm]

i made 2 extra mules which i made them as my storage other than the stash haha

[frigid chasm]

what build you tryin to make?

[narrow kraken]

Got it just now from count caches from yesterday opening now 🤷

[mellow trout]

That's a pretty nice pair if you have hazpro or regen or something

[narrow kraken]

Wow

Unicorn too

I think?

Cant remember if armor regen is uni or not on emperor's

[narrow kraken]

Ye

First emperor I get from cache though so rng hit hard

Now I just need 1 matador

[raw elk]

anyone knows a good spot where i can farm 20 kills with a mounted gun?

[onyx folio]

Demolition site and fallen cranes CPs are good

[raw elk]

Thank you ! 😄

[onyx folio]

They're both in the same region as the theater settlement

[raw elk]

Thanks 😄

[onyx folio]

Is this for field research?

Try to buddy up if you can, as long as you're on the gun, any kills count for it

[mellow trout]

The 1 percent regen is the special bit about them but the extra regen attribute is pretty nice

[raw elk]

Field research yes 😄

Clearing world activities on challenging or higher does it grand more xp towards the season pass?

[narrow kraken]

Yup

Good haul

[slim elk]

To be able to craft optimization materials I just have to go for CP3-4's?

[mellow trout]

Ye

[slim elk]

I just get trashy bps lol

[mellow trout]

You'll get em all eventually cuz no dupes

[raw elk]

Thank you 😄

[cedar schooner]

That and haz pro. Depends what you want it far.

[narrow kraken]

Prob tank builds or the dz regen meta atm

[cedar schooner]

Yep

[raw elk]

Will i lose the armour piece with rerolling and not getting the perk I want on it ?

[cedar schooner]

you won't lose it, you can always reroll it again, depending on how many exo components you have.

[raw elk]

You mean the skills I have like vanguard etc ? @cedar schooner

i never did this before

[cedar schooner]

oh thats recalibrating more spcifically. I was referring to reconfiguting exotics. once you add a talent or a roll (a 12% crit damage roll for instance) to your library, it will destroy the piece it came from, but then it can be used over and over after that.

[raw elk]

Ah no I am talking about rerolling a ceska chestpiece to get obliterate on it @cedar schooner

[cedar schooner]

so if you already have obliterate in your library, you can roll that talent onto your ceska chest. Nothing destroyed. If you don't have it in your library, you'll have to find a chest you don't want that has it, and add it to your library, and that will destroy the donor chest.

[raw elk]

Ah ok i was about to ask i can just ad it from another piece that has it , thanks for helping out 😄

[cedar schooner]

Happy to help! sorry if it was a little confusing

[raw elk]

Oh don't worry about it the more i know the better it is 😄 @cedar schooner

[empty tendon]

just opened 9 caches and no knee pads, I already have 2 matadors
this nrg thing is exhausting

[narrow kraken]

What to do when you get people like this in your team

[cedar schooner]

apparently lose

[narrow kraken]

More score than my 3 mates combined is hell

[rocky oar]

hey guys i wanna ask something about proficiency rank.
i'M using AKM and LMG. i want to progress AKM proficiency, do i have to use AKM or if i use LMG i still got AKM exp?

[narrow kraken]

AKM only

Don't forget you can also donate resources to increase proficiency on something

[cedar schooner]

I believe Proficiency XP is randomly split between weapons, so you should get XP for any equipped weapons.

[rocky oar]

@cedar schooner @narrow kraken thanks

[cedar schooner]

sorry you got conflicting information, but you should be fine to run it as a secondary. You can definitely test for yourself though.

[rocky oar]

i jsut release i got exp to my nonuısing weapons. so you might be right

i didn't used my secondary once and it is proficient so.

[steady terrace]

Nothing just get used to going ups and downs because life is always unfair 😃

[vocal helm]

Hey guys, I changed the appearance of one my gloves and now its just applying to all gloves even my exotic ones. Is there a way to turn it off or something?

[cedar schooner]

Is it one of the vanity ones? I think they're glitched like that... 😦

[vocal helm]

Yeah it is 😦

Man, that sucks!

[cedar schooner]

It does. Not sure if there's any workaround but I'd stay away from it on your other gear pieces

[vocal helm]

and you can't mod exotic appearance so I guess I'm just gonna have to live with it

[vocal helm]

I managed to fix it! One of my other loadouts had the gloves appearance changed. I reset that and changed back to my original loadout and the appearance fixed itself.

[cedar schooner]

mmmmm I'll have to try that myself.

[vocal helm]

I hope it works!

[rugged stratus]

Yeah any of the sticky appearance transmog (transmog from nongear items) always happens when you swap loadouts.
You can just go into inventory of whatever gear is sticking, mod a different items appearance, select the sticky transmog and then unselect it. You should be good after that until you use the loadout that has that appearance.

Happens all the time with that fox bag appearance covering my beautiful memento

[static trout]

This must have some special fuel in it

[cedar schooner]

lightweight fuel

[blazing timber]

Zero gravity fuel

[static trout]

Anti-Matter fuel - that's pretty end-game in tech-modded minecraft

[rocky oar]

i am getting this error every 30 minutes. anyone knows why ?=

[cedar schooner]

could on your side, but one of my clanmates got DCed and there was quite a large queue for him getting back in.

I know PS was having some issues earlier

[rocky oar]

i have a other game open at the background might be that ?

[cedar schooner]

that'd more likely lead to a slow connection than a straight up DC.

[rocky oar]

at this point i have no idea then

[cedar schooner]

it's either your computer connection cutting out, or it's server issues. What region are you in?

[rocky oar]

no idea

[rocky oar]

ic3so there is used to be ecret vendor when you take all control points. i cannot find it what happen to it ?

[cedar schooner]

never heard of that

[sudden matrix]

Wat?

There is Cassie and recently the textile vendor.

[rocky oar]

it used to shhown on map when you finish them

[sudden matrix]

I have never heard of that before.

[rocky oar]

amybe i'M talking about cassie

[sudden matrix]

Snitch farming yo

[rocky oar]

where is she?

[sudden matrix]

Snitch is a dude. There are 40 some locations he'll randomly spawn. You can relog to reset him and just visit 1-2 known spawns until he shows up for you.

He does drop a bounty but you don't need to do it.

[cedar schooner]

@rocky oar Guide to find the snitch

[blazing timber]

But her sister is the one from which you buy stuff

[static trout]

Nah, what.
#td2-general-chat message

This is by far easier

#ask-td2-community message

[cedar schooner]

yeah I'd agree. Be nice to have pinned here tbh

that's just what I grabbed from the spreadsheet

[static trout]

I could make a proper rewrite of it later so it looks nice for pinned.

[sudden matrix]

I always go to tidal basin. Bro is right across the street.

[cedar schooner]

I always go to the classified by the white house, right around the corner and never in combat. american history is my second choice simply because it's the only other one I remember

[static trout]

Think I'll save these for the guide, will write something proper for it later, format it nicely.

[atomic coral]

Honestly either check by tidal/by the 1040 safe house

1040 is longer to get to but eh

[lament bison]

@atomic coralI found the mark, but its in civic center.... I'll take a look there, but this is weird

[atomic coral]

@lament bison https://youtu.be/q98dSny6k2Q?si=sKMfW8YDt0mOZix6 follow this video

5 locations are in there

[lament bison]

I told you, I went to every single location in two bridges. all the five crates are open.

[atomic coral]

Wtf

I don't know then

The new york map is full of problems anyways

Ive seen so many seam holes in buildings

[sudden matrix]

idk maybe if you are on tonight or this weekend I can come pop into your map to help if you haven't resolved it.

[lament bison]

I don't know, maybe the game is counting a cache from other district (why?), but thats the only explanation I can think.

[sudden matrix]

Eh I'd just move and check back later.

[frigid chasm]

We're there any news of like an upcoming dlc before??

[frigid chasm]

Been like that ever since

[lament bison]

That's exactly what I thought. I jut got to lvl 300 and wanted to check it back again. But I'm about to give up AGAIN lol

[frigid chasm]

Wut r u guys lookin for??

[lament bison]

A missing shd crate

[frigid chasm]

Ohh, there should be like a cut line circle, it should be around those

Or check on YT, becoz thats how i found mine

[atomic coral]

@frigid chasm I suggested the same

But hes apparently been to every single crate in two bridges, they are all open

[rocky oar]

is there anyway to increase stash space ?
