Razormind is best track, followed by either of the Hotline Miami and then the vocal tracks.
@ashen jungle don't forget the Castlevania tracks

ashen jungle
#

I stopped playing long before that, but this isn't a Div2 spoiler so let's stop talking.

silent geyser
#

It's in Coney Island not a stronghold
@marsh gulch heyyy uhh do you get to fight the hunter in the bounties again?

#

And can you get his mask?

spare arrow
#

@silent geyser Find out for yourself.

silent geyser
#

Ok but I don't want to. Do the whole thing to realize I don't get anything I need

gloomy sand
#

oh yeah that reminds me

#

should I wait till I get a decent build to gank the hunters

#

or just get a scuffed gold build and go for it

#

hmmm

marsh gulch
#

@silent geyser you can reset the Manhunt and do it all over again but there is no point cause the Hunters drop nothing.

silent geyser
#

Do you get to see them in the Coney Island manhunt mission?

marsh gulch
#

Don't know 🤐

silent geyser
#

Ok

cold bramble
#

Lol the bardon Schaefer mission felt like another boring mission and no new mechanics

#

The hunter is very tanky and a named enemy variant

silent geyser
#

The hunter is very tanky and a named enemy variant
@cold bramble you get to kill a hunter?

#

👀

gloomy sand
#

yeah apparently last mission

silent geyser
#

You get a mask?

gloomy sand
#

I think its this one?

silent geyser
#

Cool

#

Thx

spare arrow
#

So, are you gonna grind out the targets now, Mike?

gloomy sand
#

only finna grind these because its a good way to level up season without me worrying about yknow

#

season being levelled up because it passes the time

#

and by the time im done with all these ill be like season level 40

cold bramble
#

Well “The” hunter

thorny cedar
#

Pretty dam interesting

silent geyser
#

So, are you gonna grind out the targets now, Mike?
@spare arrow No, i'm gonna make a lfg post

spare arrow
#

Ah. Didnt need the ping, but aight.

silent geyser
#

oh ok its because of the quote thing

gusty fulcrum
#

i finished the mission

silent geyser
#

srry won't ping you again

gusty fulcrum
#

I'm... so confused

#

i had to modify a 100 haz build to kill the hunter bajeezus

#

I'm so lost

floral gull
#

What’s the gimmick for Bardon’s manhunt mission

#

@cold bramble

#

I’m beginning to think the Hunters are tied to the Sokolovs

round sinew
#

Belfry seems like a cool dude based on his profile

fiery inlet
silent geyser
#

i accidentally pronounced schaeffer as shaver

mild vine
#

The next manhunt boss after Faye will be a doppelganger called Bardon Shaver

round sinew
#

Belfry is gonna make me scream. So much busy work

mild vine
#

just got to power through

steel radish
#

Bardon’s Paper

mild vine
#

hell yeah

round sinew
#

Well, filler missions done. On to the 9 CPs

mint citrus
#

What's Belfry like?

#

Is he similar to Titan?

steel radish
#

Ah mate

#

They’re all rogue agents

#

Unless you mean lore wise

floral gull
#

Foam and spank

round sinew
#

So... Why did Belfry join the outcasts?

#

We don't get much of a personality from him, but he seems stable and professional.

#

Then again, so did Keener.

#

Can't have a bad guy who just disagrees, they have to be a psychopath.

alpine sedge
#

Funny story : I died to the hunter in the mission against schaeffer, but the game respawned me in the next phase of the mission, right after we kill the hunter

gusty fulcrum
#

f

#

@round sinew all you really get from belfry is that he was treated worse than the other cell agents

round sinew
#

Agreed.

gusty fulcrum
#

I'm just confused as to why the hunters are working with BT

round sinew
#

Guess we'll find out

#

Maybe they aren't

gusty fulcrum
#

And why were the hunters specifically after every cell agent

#

But none others?

#

And wouldn't they hate schaeffer for being a rogue himself?

#

And what about Div 1? Did the hunters work for LMB?

round sinew
#

Schaeffer's a rogue?

gusty fulcrum
#

yes he is

round sinew
#

Why was this not mentioned anywhere

gusty fulcrum
#

I'm pretty sure it was somewhere

round sinew
#

Mmmm

#

Unless it was in the mission I haven't gotten to, yet.

gusty fulcrum
#

I'm just missing two comms from that mission

#

natalya sokolova is the leader of black tusk

round sinew
#

Yeah, not shocked there.

static bay
#

There's one part of the story where Dragov calls Conley a "manic pixie dream girl", does anyone know where it is?

gusty fulcrum
#

Lemme check the comms

round sinew
#

I think it's a Conley log

static bay
#

It's the text for the Manic named AR but I'm curious about the context

round sinew
#

Wdym context

static bay
#

As in the surrounding conversation

round sinew
#

Dragov probably hit on her

gusty fulcrum
#

lmao

static bay
#

that's precisely what I'm trying to confirm

round sinew
#

They weren't a couple when the Sheriff hunts them down

static bay
#

that's the thing

#

it's confusing

gusty fulcrum
#

It's not a comm

#

Not an echo either

static bay
#

a friend I'm playing with claims it's dialog in a mission

#

but he can't remember which one

gusty fulcrum
#

Definitely not

#

I've played each mission 10 times over

#

Neither of them talk to one another

static bay
#

well we suspect it's one of the side missions in the Warlords campaign

round sinew
#

Its likely only the Manic text

static bay
#

one of the ones that you can't replay

gusty fulcrum
#

Mate I've played those multiple times too

static bay
#

oh.

gusty fulcrum
#

It's definitely not a mission

round sinew
#

Named weapon text aren't usually in game dialogue

gusty fulcrum
#

Not true?

round sinew
#

At least, they largely aren't.

static bay
#

oh he meant to say aren't

gusty fulcrum
#

The chainkiller ain't in-game

#

The quote for that

round sinew
#

I can't think of any that are ever spoken. I'm sure one exists, but it's the exception.

gusty fulcrum
#

same here

steel light
#

im suprised that we're fighting a hunter in schaeffer manhunt mission

gusty fulcrum
#

@round sinew okay

#

Schaeffer has access to rogue skills

#

Even though being a rogue agent isn't directly mentioned

thorny cedar
#

The mask you get from killing the hunter looks pretty cool.

waxen arrow
#

I doubt Schaeffer was a rogue agent himself

#

he just got the technology from other rogue agents and probably mass-produced them to allow for use to BTSU operatives

primal wren
#

Yeah the hunter handed me my ass on a plate

#

Who is this Natyla character Schaeffer was talking too?

#

Did she hire black tusk as like a contractor

#

This is what it seems in the audio

#

Also anybody wondering why there aint no audio from faye lau when she talking to him?

round sinew
#

Schaeffer being SHD is nowhere in any lore. But it's been shown before that Black Tusk has control of SHD tech and has been working on making more of it usable to non-Agents. Schaeffer likely has some of this at his disposal.

#

@primal wren Natalya Sokolova. The people here, including myself, think she's likely a higher up for Black Tusk, like on the board of directors or an investor.

#

I personally think she's the owner or the daughter of the owner of Sokolov Concern and that Sokolov Concern is a backer/investor/supplier of Black Tusk.

primal wren
#

You think they gonna dive deeper into that storyline?

round sinew
#

Ideally? I hope so.

#

Realistically? Probably not anytime soon. Maybe Division 3.

#

Or if they're planning a new DLC for Div2, maybe then. But I still assume Manhunt Season 4 will be it.

ashen jungle
#

We do know for a fact that Black Tusk has some SHD tech, as when they took over the Pentagon there was plenty of it laying around, they 100% stole some of it.

#

Remember, Agent's gear was made in the DARPA labs.

round sinew
#

We haven't gotten any word on a new year of content roadmap. Sure, we still have the 3-4 months for Lau's manhunt, but if you compare to Division 1, we're at about the same point as far as content goes, and about as far in time since the game was released. So I'll be surprised if new content is announced instead of the game getting abandoned after Lau dies.

primal wren
#

Season 4 most likely gonna be the most interesting yet

round sinew
#

Honestly, yes. But it will likely be structured the same, so we'll get more audio logs that imply new lore. I figure that's about it

#

Unless Operation Nightmare gives us something good.

primal wren
#

Man there is sooo much more they can do with the divison storyline

round sinew
#

Yes. For Division 3.

#

I figure Operation Nightmare is a raid or zombie/horde mode. Probably the latter.

#

Either way, neither of those advance the actual story or lore.

#

The skyscraper was cool but it didn't set any new canon up. Underground even set more canon up than skyscraper. And both raids are basically gaiden.

#

And as far as Underground setting up lore, they did nothing with it, same as Survival.

#

Division is good at setting up plot hooks, but it doesn't always follow through.

#

And when it does, it's disappointing.

#

Looking at you, Keener.

steel radish
#

I mean

#

They may bring back survival lore??

#

Considering hunters are being expanded on

lament nebula
#

so the hunter is a unit under Schaeffer command or they just working with him like partner?

cold bramble
#

what happens after we kill faye lau?

lost lark
#

no one knows since you cant kill her yet

cold bramble
#

ok cool

lament nebula
#

we may lau after we kill her i guess

jolly wharf
#

Why Schaeffer faction logo looks like Rogue Agent?

half apex
#

i noticed that too

jolly wharf
#

For those who asking who is the unknown hunter in agent edwards mission...there ya go! He's shaeffer's baby boy

scarlet plaza
#

he was the strongest hunter i played against

jolly wharf
#

I'm comfused. Why there's a bunch of rikers in the first session of the manhunt?

The hunter in Agent edwards mission... the "unknown" is working with schaeffer? The BTSU? Or just Natalia sokolova?

The shady operation mentioned by kelso after you kill the unknown hunter... does this ties to faye lau?

final session of the mission, Schaeffer's special unit. Why does schaeffer faction logo is the same as all rogue agents? Is that a devs bug forgot to change it? Or he's one of the first wave of agents turn rogue?

silent geyser
#

he might actually be a first wave agent

gusty fulcrum
#

@jolly wharf Rikers are unknown why they are on Coney. Probably salvaging.

The "unknown" was working with Schaeffer. It's the only part of the lore that ties to the origin of hunters. Natalia Sokolova is confirmed the leader of Black Tusk, or at least a higher-up compared to Schaeffer.

The shady operation is not confirmed to tie to Faye. The reasoning for the BTSU to be on a mission in Coney is unknown, nor why they brought a hunter with them. The coming of the agent (player) was unknown.

Fighting the BTSU itself, his symbol is different because he is, in fact, a rogue agent. He uses rogue SHD tech. He is indeed a rogue agent, being part of the first or second wave is unknown, as is his ties to Keener.

Final note: Faye is the only member left alive of the BTSU as of currently.

#

@silent geyser you might wanna take a look at this too if you are interested

fiery inlet
#

I find it hard to believe that Schaeffer was an agent at any point

gusty fulcrum
#

I don't. He mentioned to Faye in multiple comms "thanks for sticking with the right side." Schaeffer's goal was clear: protect the president. The first wave of agents changed from that, and that is why LMB was after The Division/JTF. Their goal was to protect the president. After the fall of LMB and Black Tusk taking power, The goal of LMB/BT was still to protect the president and restore order.

silent geyser
#

so waiitt sokolova is dead right?

fiery inlet
#

No

silent geyser
#

then why did you say faye is the only member left alive ?

#

wait so schaeffer = leader of btsu (white tusk?) and sokolova = black tusk leader

gusty fulcrum
#

I've mentioned this in the past, but this game is hyper-realistic when it comes to politics. All of these guns just take the toppings, so you see the most of it.

listen to every comm, every echo, every dialogue, and especially the propaganda broadcasts. Each faction thinks they are sane, and in a way they are (except for hyenas, they are just druggies). The rikers just want to be treated fairly and think of everyone as family, cleaners just want to clean the streets from a virus and start over fresh, LMB/Black Tusk want to protect the president. True sons are just a political organization, wanting everyone to join their side and making enemies along the way. Outcasts want to hurt those who hurt them back, sacrificing people who they find in need of sacrifice. Vengeful, similarly to the Rikers.

Then the rogue agents. Kajika thinks they were betrayed, Parnell wants to know the truth about everything, Conley wants to fulfill the legacy of Joe Ferro, and Dragov just wants a home. Keener wants a fresh beginning, letting nature take control of the balance that human's offset for centuries.

Think about it. Are any of them really wrong? Is anyone wrong? Is there a villain at all here?

#

wait so schaeffer = leader of btsu (white tusk?) and sokolova = black tusk leader
@silent geyser Sokolova is not part of the BTSU. The BTSU is a squadron, while Sokolova is moreso a commander, not getting her hands dirty per se. The BTSU is not the white tusk. The white tusk I'd say are more realistically closer to ex-LMB members due to similar uniforms and combat tactics.

silent geyser
#

ye i always thought that this game was a bit on the realistic side

gusty fulcrum
#

This is a quote I always come back to about this game:

"There is no wrong nor right. Only indifference."

silent geyser
#

its fictional but its tries to be a bit realistic

fiery inlet
#

I believe you're overthinking it. Ellis is nothing but a tool that gives BT legitimacy to take over the country.

#

I also belive that Schaeffer had no direct link to the Division prior to Faye joining him. He was just trying to get people to join BT. I believe there is an ECHO of him and Sawyer talking together where he's trying to convince her to join BT.

#

As for Sokolova, we don't know who she is yet. Maybe russians are involved and she's their link

gusty fulcrum
#

@fiery inlet This is not overthinking it. Schaeffer has access to rogue skills directly, therefore has a watch of his own.

As for Ellis being used as a tool, I would disagree. Black Tusk/LMB had no previous intent to do any of this, and can't be confirmed that they do have any intent present-day. There is no evidence to suggest any faction wants to 'take over'.

fiery inlet
#

I'm pretty sure bounties bosses have access to skills, it doesn't mean anything.

#

Also, take a look for yourself

#

The dude spent his entire life in the army/BT and is working to undermine the Division.

#

Again, the goal of BT is to take over and Ellis gives them legitimacy in the eyes of the population to do so

gusty fulcrum
#

Ah my bad. I guess Schaeffer is not a rogue agent, and likely used the Hunter in order to obtain these rogue skills. that would make sense.

#

Regardless of how they are using their tactics, this entire storyline is merely political. Just multiple forms of government fighting out to see which comes out on top. Ellis and the Black Tusk represent Republic, Civilians/Peacekeepers represent parliamentary Democracy, Hyenas represent oligarchy, outcasts/cleaners represent monarchy, et cetera.

jolly wharf
#

I hope the devs will give us the hunter skill in the next season.

Like

Smoke pulse - teleports the agent to recent checkpoint and gives you 10 second inventory time for changing gears and resets the other skill. Can be triggered while on combat.

Cooldown 3mins.

waxen arrow
#

🤔 maybe

#

well how would it work for legendaries or heroics?

#

would it just run off the most recent checkpoint, the start of the building?

#

and will the enemies respawn in the areas?

jolly wharf
#

Same as the normal mode spawn. For example you died in DUA legendary you are on the 2nd floor where the btsu robots are. If you trigger the skill you will automatically spawn to the recent opened doors

fiery inlet
#

Season 4 skill variant is a pulse

#

But not a smoke 😛

jolly wharf
#

Yea the one with the targeted pulse

#

Sad to say we cant get our characters teleport just like the hunters. I still dont get it why they can vanish instantly. Seems the devs apply some witchcraft skills.

waxen arrow
#

give me my flashbang seeker mine

floral gull
#

I’m thinking they want the Hunters to act like Ninjas

#

Although that doesn’t explain why they don’t Naruto run

pearl kettle
#

do you guys have Coney Island Ballpark locked behind the Schaeffer mission, even though you did it?

coarse vector
#

Was anyone else hella disappointed in the Aaron Keener fight

#

I was hoping they did it sort of raid style

round sinew
#

So if the Hunter wastes you in Schaeffer's mission he despawns and the game treats it like you killed him

#

Interesting

round sinew
#

I guess it works like the other hunters, but it's weird to do it in a mission.

#

Maybe it's to prevent a difficulty spike?

fiery inlet
#

It's a really tough fight

#

I think he can heal 4 or 5 times

#

So that's probably the reason they skip it, yeah

ashen jungle
#

Well that was an interesting bit of lore-dump in Schaeffers mission. Not sure how I feel about the whole "Sokolov" thing.

fiery inlet
#

We'll have to see what season 4 and Codename Nightmare have to offer 👀

alpine sedge
#

So if the Hunter wastes you in Schaeffer's mission he despawns and the game treats it like you killed him
@round sinew I confirm that, i died to him, but after the respawn i was fighting rikers, and after clearing them Schaeffer said that the hunter was dead

round sinew
#

The best part is Schaeffer isn't even dead.

alpine sedge
#

We got him in critical cond

round sinew
#

@alpine sedge same. He killed me in roughly a second. Chem launch and immediately shot me and lit me up like a Christmas tree. I had no chance.

alpine sedge
#

I had him on one tick of armor, but he healed

#

salt intensifies

round sinew
#

I reset and was able to live for about 30 seconds

#

Maybe I shouldn't bring a skill build to a hunter fight.

alpine sedge
#

i had an armor build tbf, but he shredded through with a couple of bullets

round sinew
#

Anyone wanna comment on why the Hunter made a Mass Effect Reaper screech instead of, yknow, speaking like a human?

alpine sedge
#

Idk really lol, maybe a mental disabillity, that's my best guess. Crazy guy, i mean

ashen jungle
#

I really doubt Ubisoft would go there, that's walking on thin ice to say the least.

#

IMO they're just crazy.

waxen arrow
#

I mean, they are hunters

#

some people think they are the 3rd wave, wiping out the rest

#

some think they are rogues

alpine sedge
#

We would need lore behind said hunters, and who's behind the mask

waxen arrow
#

whats in the canister?

ashen jungle
#

I thought the generally accepted idea was that they're insane 1st Wave who totally lost it?

#

The Mask Hunters anyway.

waxen arrow
#

there are unmasked Hunters?

fiery inlet
#

Could be the clean-up crew since the Division started going rogue left, right and center back in New York

ashen jungle
#

No like, the ones that give masks and the ones that don't.

#

The "Mask" Hunters seem to be unaffiliated with the Summit ones, since they're not setting Jigsaw traps.

waxen arrow
#

Huntors

trail wind
#

I keep hearing npc talking about boston think we'll head that way?

ashen jungle
#

I think there'll be some Fallout if we head there.

waxen arrow
#

maybe the city the Black Tusk originates from? It would be cool to see an entire city infested with Black Tusk

ashen jungle
#

I wonder what the secret extra faction's gonna be in Div3. We've already had rogue army and PMC. The next cliché would be terrorists.

spiral turtle
#

Just bring the outcasts back then

ripe violet
#

imo id want d3 to be prequel, almost like playing as JTF and max level is when you get the call from SHD and then you are first wave

#

or just go completely different story a couple decades later with a new virus outbreak, have a more advanced technology SHD team

#

and im grasping at straws, we have a miniature razorback backpack for a spec, 5 drone army :D

ashen jungle
#

The prequel story idea you had is kinda already told. Like, he know what happened with the JTF, and I don't think many are gonna wanna play as the "best of a bad situation" guys.

Div3 will likely just be another city with a story that's hopefully not involving Lau or Keener or anyone. Have some recurring charactering, but I'd really like something new please. WONY was my nostalgia topped off nicely.

round sinew
#

Would like too see one of the Division HQs in a game.

#

I wanna see if they're still standing and why the fuck they aren't helping.

ashen jungle
#

I'm guessing the "why aren't they helping" is answered by "they ded".

round sinew
#

SHD: We made our entire agency full of redundancies with 3 equal headquarters so no matter what happens to the country, SHD will still be around to help.
Black Tusk: ok. Bet.

ashen jungle
#

Let's be honest, Tusk are only effective because there's no one around to challenge them on that scale.

round sinew
#

And because they have the backing of everyone that matters, apparently.

wary ivy
#

Does anyone know where to get the final Intel for Hidden Agenda?

#

I got 19/20 now and the last one missing is called Failures

spiral turtle
#

I would think you replay the final mission if it’s like the other manhunts

mild vine
#

@wary ivy you just have to keep doing the final mission until you get the rest

jolly wharf
#

I repeated the manhunt mission.

Kelso said we taken all down the rogue cell. Does this mean on the next manhunt there will be no more 4 bounty rogue agents? If they would replace the 4 rogue agents to hunters. That would be badass.

ashen jungle
#

What Kelso was referring to is that we've taken down this Cell, note: Cell's operate independently. We may have removed them all, we may have not. We don't know and we may never be sure.

sleek plover
#

Well, im pretty much satisfied if i get to hunt down LMB remnants.

round sinew
#

I'm satisfied when the game ends

ashen jungle
#

More pessimistic than a direct spoiler, but you do you.

mint citrus
#

Lau presumably has her own cell

#

Like Bardon had his

ashen jungle
#

If what happens is what I think's gonna happen, she'll have her very own Cell soon enough.
A 6x8 one.

round sinew
#

Heh

green arrow
#

the hunter in Schaefer mission is difficult, heal 4 times and practically 1 shot you unless you have lots of armor or in my case perfectly unbreakable talent

waxen arrow
#

ehh, I think a .338 would fit pretty nicely in her skull.

#

i'd rather just leave her dead then put her in the cell. atleast she can be with her sister again

sleek plover
#

I would prefer incendiary method. Im no cleaner but thats the thing I always use when killing BTSU ExLMB shorgunners and important True sons.
Mostly because its painful.

#

And let her ashes just rot there.

#

let them rot?

#

hell no we should frame that shit in the white house

put it in a urn, and then piss in it?

spiral turtle
#

@sleek plover you have an unhealthy obsession with these people

sleek plover
#

I know, i mean like i said many times before, reading about LMB at the wiki was what drove me to buy the game in the first place.

#

I mean "freedom is not a right" srsly?!
That sounded like a nigh-religious blasphemy to me.

spare arrow
#

Isnt that what true sons propagamda broadcasts say, and not LMB soldiers?

sleek plover
#

Well they said that at the enemy trailer

#

hell no we should frame that shit in the white house
@cold bramble
Either way, her head would be a sacred offering to divine lady liberty.

spare arrow
#

lady liberty is technically french

sleek plover
#

Oui

#

Either way she being divine is still true

spare arrow

uhh not really she is just a giant statue

sleek plover

NY would have better fate going extinct by the plague than have LMB took over.

imagine if lady liberty didn't oxidize

it would be weird to see lady liberty... you know, coppery.

sleek plover

Well freedom is the one sacred truth of the world.
All shall worship it or die.

If you hate the lmb so much why are they about 1/3rd of your name

Ohkay thats too far

Reel it back

if you weren't actually an aspect then why is it half of your name?

spare arrow
#

I am an Aspect tho

waxen arrow
#

hmm

sleek plover
#

Well i am pretty sure @waxen arrow is not a hereditary noble.

waxen arrow
#

nope, not noble

sleek plover
#

thus not a lord

waxen arrow
#

its an old xbox live name that I used back in 2014

#

technically it was Gamelord101, and when I was getting xbox live, somebody took it

#

my brother was supposed to be KillerWaffle101, but that changed as well

#

so i'm Gamelord06 now

spare arrow
#

Anyways you should probably get your real life hate of a fictional PMC checked out

waxen arrow
#

fuck the black tusk

all my homies hate the black tusk

sleek plover
#

I mean Ive seen many people in the fandom defending LMB and even saying they want to join them

#

so I just wanted to play my part

waxen arrow
#

but, why?

sleek plover
#

my part as the hater

spare arrow
#

I get not liking them, i do. But wanting an explicitly all-LMB bounty or mission solely to burn them alive is kinda messed up, dontcha think?

sleek plover
#

Well thats the reason why i bought the game.

waxen arrow
#

half of the skills in this game count as warcrimes, aspect.

sleek plover
#

also I want them impaled or aztec-style sacrificed front of the statue

waxen arrow
#

imagine if that's what keener did

sleek plover
#

Or force marched all tarred and feathered while new yorkers sling garbage at them

That is a great idea.

Another reason to go rogue than

Would never hurt civilians though

I would join keener if I had the chance

tbh

sleek plover
#

Keener well... he is a tyrant himself.

#

He promotes might makes right.

spare arrow
#

I mean, SHD agents are given explicit authorization to take anything found as long as it is not being used, or in possesion of a civilian

waxen arrow

isn't every single faction, including the SHD, a tyrant?

As for Rikers and Hyenas... it is debatable

They all want power for power's sake

and once they get that power, they use it to gain even more

its true, snitch desperately trues to deny it in the card but its still true

Oh yeah there was this guy in the div2outcasts snitch cards who infected the entire kindergarten

#

and thats the reason why i see outcasts flawed

#

they prey on the faultless, especially children

#

But i think it is better for them to take over USA than any other enemy factions.

#

The best option remains JTF/SHD

#

I mean snitch literally goes "FUCK THIS GUY" in the card

ashen jungle
#

To clarify what LMB' said, the guy who infected the kids with Green Poison actually poisoned puppies and released them to the kids.
So the idea that a faction like that would control the USA is....just no.

round sinew
#

Black Tusk would be cool if they stopped killing JTF and militia

And working with Keener who they know is creating more viruses like the Green Poison, and if they stopped murdering innocent people in the street like in their snitch cards, and if.....

#

yeah

#

i watched a playthrough of it since I can't play games right now

ashen jungle
#

I think they're insane, which makes sense as they are a Mask Hunter and all of them are at least a little crazy.

#

You'd have to be to set up a puzzle that no one is likely to ever find.

cold bramble
#

wait it drops a mask?

ashen jungle
#

it's a good one too.

cold bramble
#

oh shit that's a cool mask

spiral turtle
#

Ngl Schaffer manhunt mission was underwhelming

#

Hunter aspect was cool

#

But they build him up to be who he was and we just off him

#

Really?

#

However, from now on, anytime I agree to do something I’m just gonna respond with “[an affirmative groan]”

ashen jungle
#

My main issue with it was that his BTSU team was easy as pie.

spiral turtle
#

Yeah it just felt like I killed normal black tusk dudes

#

Hopefully now that we know at least the sounds that hunters make, maybe that can open something up in the future

ashen jungle
#

Well that particular Hunter, although it does help confirm for me the fact that they're all insane.

#

I do like that they didn't try and ret-con them.

spiral turtle
#

Hopefully it was sorta just a sneak peek of what may come with them

#

Idk

ashen jungle
#

I just mean like, the Mask Hunters and the other ones are the same faction, or at least it looks like it. Which I quite like.

round sinew
#

I don't buy that they're insane

#

If they're so unstable they scream in robot-demon when talked to by a friend, they're not stable enough to be effective fighters or reliable allies.

#

I think the only true logic is this: Hunters are aliens.

#

They're Predators

cold bramble
#

if they are then I'll stop playing division

#

aliens is so stupid and cliche

#

it would be fun, but a really unsatisfying ending

ashen jungle
#

Yeah hard pass on that theory

#

it doesnt even make sense

mild vine
#

It's probably better to keep what they are a mystery whether they are human, alien, robotic, etc.

ashen jungle
#

Human, Div2 is real-ish-istic as is, let's not bring Terminators into this.

#

Note: that changes if I can dress as Sarah Connor.

mild vine
#

I know just as i was typing it came to mind that's all

#

People will always speculate so you can always imagine

ashen jungle
#

I prefer to imagine a world where a Tom Clancy product avoids randomly adding in The Predator.

#

cough Breakpoint cough

mild vine
#

And terminators imagine that

#

The predator mission was out of nowhere and it was kind of cool but that was it

floral gull
#

They have the capacity to at least follow orders like a dog would at most

#

Very beast like, due to their hefty experiments

#

Candidacy for the Hunter program might not even be voluntary...

mild vine
#

I think why that hunter listened to schaffer was because he knew division would come for him

#

I think hunters really like killing division agent so that's why it stayed with schaffer

floral gull
#

Schafer had him on a short leash it seemed, barely controllable as what it did to those rikers-they just like to kill period

mild vine
#

I feel like hunters are in a very loose way related to predators in the sense they want to fight the strongest there is and take trophies from the agents they kill

floral gull
#

The Sokolovs experiments seemed to undermine and counter SHD and The Division directly in order to speed up their hostile takeover of the country

mild vine
#

Wait i never read all the manhunt audio logs yet did I miss somethings in those?

floral gull
#

But as a duality in predatory tendencies, We as Division agents also take trophies from our kills as well from their masks

mild vine
#

True

floral gull
#

The Sokolov foundation are throwing everything at us to see if anything sticks, be it Black Tusk, Rogue Agents, or Hunters. But fortunately, elite Division agents have managed to overcome these odds and made big strides in both NY and DC

Well if you got killed by that hunter in side mission it says on inspect "no data available"

But if you got killed by a puzzled hunters the one when you need to do some tasks in order to summon him.

Its says "data corrupt"

Also this includes hunters on the floor 100 summit

Interesting thing that happened, A Hunter showed up in the middle of my Sin Eaters bounty (tracking wraith as you know.) the Hunter was mowing down the enemy hyenas while I was firing my bakers dozen at ‘em successfully, flamin bugger used an armor kit and just as I was about to finish em off, disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Just throwing this out there: but I have a feeling these hunters have an agenda of their own, I feel as though they may somehow play a bigger role in Div 2’s future. I can feel it...

glad spruce
#

Anyone can tell me what's in the audio logs for Belfry and Bardon?

The Belfry ones are mostly him calling up the other members of the 'Cell and bitching that he's getting ignored. The Schaeffer end one is him having a conversation with Ms. Sokolova.

Uh that is the first I have ever heard of that, so if someone told you it then I really, really doubt it.

Okay, there is definitely something going on with these hunters, It can’t be a coincidence.

During the bounty for dusk “Edward’s Company” A Hunter just popped in the parking lot from out of nowhere as there was a wave of disruption, decided not to shoot them and let ‘em bag a few of those palookas while I was pickin them off with nemesis and then the hunter decided to smoke out and disappear.

This is coincidental that a Hunter just pops in, bags a few and departs, every time, first one I saw while tracking down wraith, now another while tracking Dusk. Gonna Hunt Belfry after and see...

ashen jungle

A Hunter showed up in every one of the 4 final bosses this season.

Was it the same Hunter? Because I killed them 3x.

Yup

ashen jungle

round sinew

Correct.

cosmic niche

Theres a deceit mask up for grabs

ashen jungle

Is that the one you get from the final Manhunt or a new source?

cosmic niche

Final manhunt or Schaeffer mission

#

Depending upon what you call it

ashen jungle
#

Oh okay I assumed it was a new one, since it's not super "new" anymore.

cosmic niche
#

New to someone as otherwise they would have disclosed it in the above conversation

#

Also hunter is working for faction introduced in the same mission which fills a big gap in the lore of hunters it seems. But you never know with this game

#

Possibly a new faction for div3 if that even is a thing. Cannt see ubi doing any more major work on div2. Presumably lau also works for same faction. All clearing up the mess in what is currently called the division. With so much if it going rogue.

ashen jungle
#

I'd just like to say for anyone casually reading this thread, that's all speculation.

gloomy sand
#

even if hunters were sent to wipe out rogue div agents

#

still doesnt explain why they attack the player

#

we ain't rogue???

ashen jungle
#

Also, that completely ignores the Hunters that set-up elaborate puzzles and have keys to the 2 Chests.

cosmic niche
#

@gloomy sand the hunter is tracking the rogues and attacking everything. Its apparent lau and schaeffer are terminating anything division. They could be independent or working with/for this mystery element referenced in the last manhunt mission imho. We can see what content comes from this when it arrives.

ashen jungle
#

I'm going to stick with "pure speculation". We really don't know more than we've been told, and we haven't been told much.

cosmic niche
#

@ashen jungle imo assuming there is a connection is a leap. Hunters up until this manhunt content were a mechanic to kill and get a reward.

#

Fair enough

ashen jungle
#

Personally, I like to think that this is a red herring and the Hunters aren't anything more than guns for hire. And one's they're going to regret hiring.

I want a new enemy type already

Keener died of cringe

His back was all f****d up, so he's gonna f**k up the rest of NYC.

I genuinely don't know why we didn't just empty our guns into Keener to make sure he wasn't faking it. We already know they can manipulate ISAC to fake deaths.

so ANNA is just rogue Isac

It's the first time I've ever heard the name TBH, is that a thing in-game?

@round sinew stole from reddit.

He get's hit by a car. There's an echo of a Guy in a Cape, getting hit by a JTF soldier in a cop car. This also killed him, as it says, "Status: Deceased."

Not sure if its the same superhero. Lots mystery surrounding it. Hah.

tough sentinel
#

Anyone have any ideas of what code name nightmare is gonna be?

They did say it was gonna be kind of like a horde mode buttttttt, I don’t think so.

#

With all this talk of RedStorm coming back, I think that they are moving the D1 DZ to New York in D2.

#

There are some rumors about the D1 servers being shut down and that happening.

#

Anyways if not, it’ll probably just be some wave type horde mode where you can get loot. I hope that’s not it and Massive will start focusing more on pvp for once.

hey can someone explained everything from how keener came back to life up until now?

I doubt Massive would reverse that.

how about that manhunt in tidal basin?his black(not racist)buddy talked something about the Eclipse with him

ashen jungle

Old recording.

the relationship between the Rouge and the BTSU?

#

also the current manhunt,since i dont even have the dlc to start with

gaunt ice
ashen jungle
#

Try to avoid pinging people, I will respond when I can.

Anyway, the relationship between the Rogues and Black Tusk seems to be somewhat strained now. BTSU is kinda a splinter group within 'Tusk (they're the special forces of Tusk) anyway

#

The manhunt is all about taking out the head of that special unit, Schaeffer. Apparently in canon we captured him.

#

What exactly are you trying to ask here?

gaunt ice
#

sorry

#

for tagging you

#

anyways,whats next after you captured him?

ashen jungle
#

That's it, Manhunt is over and the capture thing is only just kinda told to you, there's no cut-scene and you don't even see him in the White House.

gaunt ice
#

thats IT?that sounds really underwhelming

ashen jungle
#

It's not a paid expansion. Just something to tidy up/set-up the next big one.

#

Think like Coney Island and the end of that.

gaunt ice
#

i mean,Faye is what we all have left as the villain now

#

without the Tusk,Ellis would be practically a scarecrow

#

wait so Coney Island is the prequel to WoNY?

#

i always thought that was after WoNY,thats why i assumed Keener ame back from the dead

ashen jungle
#

Coney Island directly leads to WONY, think of it as the mission before it in the campaign.

#

Ellis has the legal right to be the POTUS, he has absolute power in the USA now that he's the highest (and potentially one of the last members of) government.

but didnt he betrayed the country when he switched sides?

DC SHD Coordinator, but he has no say on who the president is

its kinda like when the Theater voted Sawyer up despite her having do leadership skill

spare arrow
#

"giving orders" and "being the president" arent really the same

gaunt ice
#

no'

ashen jungle
#

The President of the United States is not just a position that anyone can take. There is a system of Government, IIRC any federal employee is technically in line to the big boss after everyone above them dies. Remember, Ellis is only the President because the first one died, the 2nd one "committed suicide" (read: was killed) and Ellis is just the next one alive after the rest are dead.

gaunt ice
#

well thats why i said its too far out

#

but i mean so what now?shd just became a rouge agency?

spare arrow
#

Ellis was the speaker of the house, after the VP and the President were killed by a member of the Secret Service after getting a payout from BT.

ashen jungle
#

Before you ask, there's an echo in a parking lot nearby that shows 2 Secret Service Agents with the recently murdered new President before Ellis. Then a member of Tusk kills them off.

gaunt ice
#

yeah i got one recording about them setting it up as a suicide

ashen jungle
#

didn't the OG President just die from Green Poison?

spare arrow
#

SHD sees Ellis as a traitor, so we work for "the people"

gaunt ice

but i mean on legal sides,Ellis can just announced that SHD is disavowed

ashen jungle
#

Sure, if the senate was still alive.

gaunt ice
#

cuz hes the boss

#

but how are we suppose to beat them?wouldnt that just go against the original purpose of the Division,to protect the government in case of an catastrophy

Ellis is just a pawn. You see how important he is in one of the missions. He nothing to tusks.

Disavowed from what? BT? Ellis is "working with" BT but there is no-one that can say "shd bad bt good"

You can edit comments, just press "up arrow" on your keyboard to edit the last one then enter once you're done editing.

So Ellis really isn't useless at all to Tusk, he's just annoying.

Again a pawn. What the big plan? He just a small part. He was manipulated into their agenda.

ashen jungle

He agreed to having Mendoza killed though. I don't think we can give him a free pass here.

#

I mean, he is a pawn, but he isnt as small as you think.

ashen jungle

And ignoring everything else, even the Hyena's knew he was a good bargaining chip. Eventually we'll get him back and likely keep him locked up.

True. Keeping him alive for something. Hopefully we see more into that after all this.

Kandel is most likely dead.

gaunt ice
#

but hes too scared to end his life

#

never heard of her since

#

hey hey hey hey guys

ashen jungle
#

Yeah she was mentioned at some point in WONY. I'm nearly certain.

round sinew
#

Don't get me started on the lack of canon on what happened after Dearborn

gaunt ice
#

what if Kandel is the true villain behind all of this?

ashen jungle
#

thats dumb

round sinew
#

^

spare arrow
#

X to doubt.

gaunt ice
#

Whats Dearborn?

ashen jungle
#

that makes less sense than Rhodes secretly being the mastermind behind Green Poison.

round sinew
#

City in MI

gaunt ice
#

also after rethink that,X

#

MI?what?

#

is that?

round sinew
#

Not American, huh?

spare arrow
#

Michigan

#

Or missouri

#

its early

ashen jungle
#

Or Mii, the city where all the nintendo characters live.

round sinew
#

Dearborn, Michigan. It's the capital(?) of the state and the location of U of M.

#

That's where Kandel had gone after NYC to work on the BSAV.

#

But based on the timeline, she would've been there when Black Tusk attacked the campus.

ashen jungle
#

IIRC BT took over it, so she's likely imprisoned there.

round sinew
#

Too bad we'll probably never know.

ashen jungle
#

Ya never know what the next DLC will say.

round sinew
#

It won't answer any canon or lore, that's for sure.

#

And what it does, it won't do well.

ashen jungle
#

Yay, its "game sux" time again. I thought my watch was slow.

spare arrow
#

Getting my bonk stick ready.

round sinew
#

Nah, I'm always pessimistic.

ashen jungle
#

Be pessimistic, just don't be a nihilist.

round sinew
#

I have nothing else to do other than be crotchety while I slowly whither away.

#

You're not using nihilism right.

gaunt ice
#

Rivenscry,i saw you talking something about how Keener was a distract for a guy with a broken back?

ashen jungle
#

Was making a jokey reference to an NPC in the BoO in Div1.

#

It would play his line of "my back's all f**ked up", and for some reason the line would loop and play over a bunch of other static lines in the Base.

gaunt ice
#

lol

ashen jungle
#

It got so bad that you could hear it from any where inside the main base.

gaunt ice
#

i would imagine the Division just turned into this massive game series with 50 parts,each representing a state or a city

#

that would make a complex lore that challenges BO3 storyline

#

anyways,what with all these Tusk with different uniforms(black,white,brown)?

round sinew
#

Complex lore
Division
Pick one

gaunt ice
#

uhhhh whats the difference here?

ashen jungle
#

He's doing the angry internet meme and trying to say that Div has no complex lore.

round sinew
#

Black Tusk exists. White Tusk wears the white uniforms. They don't necessarily exist in canon, but the theory goes that they're former LMB absorbed into BT.

gaunt ice
#

i almost failed secondary school due to literature

#

so its a great story to me as long as its long

spare arrow
#

Black uniforms are just BTSU peeps. White uniforms are supposedly the LMB that got put into BTSU & now exist in the legendary difficulty. Brown uniforms... IDK.

ashen jungle
#

Slight correction: BTSU and Black Tusk are not exactly the same thing. BTSU are a special forces unit that operates within Tusk.
fixed the edit.

spare arrow
#

BTSU is the specialist unit of BT.

round sinew
#

Based on some descriptions, they're not even BTSU. They're just BT.

spare arrow
#

Oh, white tusk?

round sinew
#

Some sources describe BTSU as just the dozen bosses under Schaeffer's command, not the hundreds of goombas that go with them.

gaunt ice
#

the Summit is located at New York right?

spare arrow
#

Summit is in NYC yeah

gaunt ice
#

why is there True Sons,Outcast there?

spare arrow
#

Summit seems to exist outside of canon.

round sinew
#

^

#

Treat it like the DZ or PvP modes. Not lore-friendly.

ashen jungle
#

Summit doesn't even really make sense. Like, why did they attack it?

round sinew
#

For the satellite?

gaunt ice
#

slightly out of topic:are you willing to pay 60 bucks for the full div1 that is 100% like what we were shown at E3?

round sinew
#

No.

ashen jungle
#

No because it's 4 years old lol.

#

Why not just go after another satelite?

round sinew
#

Well I assume satellites don't crash and stay intact in the world of Division too often.

#

Since it never happens irl

ashen jungle
#

Well it does but usually just in the middle of nowhere.

#

That's a good question actually, what is on the satellite that they need? It's just a relay, they don't really store data.

round sinew
#

They usually burn up completely in the atmosphere. So an intact satellite just chilling on a rooftop is a curiosity.

gaunt ice
#

its Division

round sinew
#

Maybe it's an alien like the Siege event.

gaunt ice
#

nothing sounds too impossible

#

maybe Tusk set up there as part of the SHD takedown plan

ashen jungle
#

If it's an Alien, I'm saying this now, if Aliens get added in-canon (not just a fun event, added in the story) I will delete all my Exotics.

round sinew
#

Do it.

ashen jungle
#

That includes Bighorn.

gaunt ice
#

insert Palpatine dew it meme

round sinew
#

If Hunters turn out to be aliens, I'd be so happy.

gaunt ice
#

why would they be there?

ashen jungle
#

If the Hunters turn out to be aliens, I am leaving.

spare arrow
#

oh no are you the hunters are aliens guy

round sinew
#

No, but I've heard that theory.

gaunt ice
#

i like the CoD treatment better:its all the Russian's

round sinew
#

And I want it to be true so I can finally quit in peace.

ashen jungle
#

COD can have its weird Russian racism, I'll stick with post apocalypse.

spare arrow
#

You can quit anytime you want.

round sinew
#

Green Poison was also alien-derived

#

Let's go full tinfoil hat

spare arrow
#

Nope, it was smallpox.

gaunt ice
#

it was disguised as smallpox

round sinew
#

Yes.

gaunt ice
#

Gordon was an alien

round sinew
#

Yes

ashen jungle
#

It was the same aliens that built the pyramids, they made Green Poison so the lizard people could take over the government, but the humans got wise and killed their pupped president Mendoza.

round sinew
#

God please make that happen

gaunt ice
#

Mendoza the IH boss?

spare arrow
#

The channel is for spoilers not crackpot theories

round sinew
#

That's better canon than what they turned Keener into.

ashen jungle
#

So aspect, I should tell you that I've been hired by the writing team.

gaunt ice
#

come on man,have fun for a minute

ashen jungle
#

spoilers: im adding in Batman.

round sinew
#

Wasn't there already a Batman?

ashen jungle
#

nah he got hit by a car and died.

gaunt ice
#

Bativsion

spare arrow
#

which batman

gaunt ice
#

wait theres one?

ashen jungle
#

the superhero in div1, he ded

gaunt ice
#

wait there is?

spare arrow
#

no which batman are you adding

ashen jungle
#

a JTF hit him with a copcar and he got splatted.

round sinew
#

There's a few superheroes in Div1

ashen jungle
#

oh Miguel from the future series.

gaunt ice
#

what the actual fu-

round sinew
#

There's Batman and the guy with actual superpowers.

gaunt ice
#

how is this possible?

spare arrow
#

I'm cool with that

gaunt ice
#

if they have superpowers,why dont they do the div job?

ashen jungle
#

I was tempted to go for old man batman, but I feel it's too on the nose.

round sinew
#

Nobody wants to remember the guy with superpowers. But i remember.

#

He can fly and survive falling off skyscrapers.

gaunt ice
#

you cant convince me to believe that superheroes die by smallpox or got hit with a car

round sinew
#

Also he's bulletproof iirc

ashen jungle
#

can survive falling off a skyscraper, got pancaked by a JTF driving a copcar.

round sinew
#

I thought that was Batman

ashen jungle
#

nah that was Robin, they die like flies.

round sinew
#

Because there's the guy with superpowers, and then there's the guy trying to be a superhero who dies.

#

I think you're confusing them.

gaunt ice
#

how do you rate Keener wony on a scale from 1 to 10?

round sinew
#

0

#

Can I go into the negatives?

spare arrow
#

6 or a low 7. Man's got plans.

gaunt ice
#

why though?he seemed close to the original

round sinew
#

Man's got the worst plans.

spare arrow
#

@round sinew rule 10, seriously

round sinew
#

Because he went from some evil genius to a cartoon villain.

gaunt ice
#

well his physc profile says for himself

#

he tends to snaps under massive pressure

#

and start losing his mind

round sinew
#

@spare arrow I'm not being negative. I'm allowed to voice my fucking opinion that Keener was narratively worse in WONY.

ashen jungle
#

dude chill.

gaunt ice
#

but really,'reloading nows your chance'is the worst insult ive ever get in a video game

spare arrow
#

You are being overly negative, though.

round sinew
#

The meta-insults were a nice touch.

ashen jungle
#

That one confused me. Keener in Div1 was a future's trader pre-Green Poison. "thinks he's the smartest guy in the room" is how he's described.

gaunt ice
#

always hiding behind something

#

well hes smart enough to hack all SHD equipment

ashen jungle
#

Let's be honest, a 5yr old with a toy hammer could.

spare arrow
#

A 5 year old with a toy hammer & an ISAC watch could

round sinew
#

Lmao. He was set up to be such a badass.

gaunt ice
#

well thats alot of coding

ashen jungle
#

Garrus and a 5yr old is a sitcom I'd watch.

#

I do love that the surname for ISAC's VA is Keener.

gaunt ice
#

i want to have the option to switch sides,like Cold War type of

#

and at the end,you'll kill Kelso by yourself

#

sounds weird thou

round sinew
#

That would be... An interesting expansion.

spare arrow
#

hot take: kelso is best girl

ashen jungle
#

I don't get why people hate her

round sinew
#

^

gaunt ice
#

well thats the ONLY one that is close to a girl character

#

me too Riven

round sinew
#

I think she accurately portrays what a loose cannon agent can be like without going rogue.

ashen jungle
#

Grey Jedi.

spare arrow
#

"Please neutralize that fucking thing by any means necessary."

ashen jungle
#

What do you mean by that thanh?

round sinew
#

Really makes you 🤔 what the rogues did to be rogue. Probably killed civvies

gaunt ice
#

i dont get why people hate her too

ashen jungle
#

The line before that.

gaunt ice
#

i mean,close to be a woman

spare arrow
#

Killed civvies & agents, likely.

gaunt ice
#

Sawyer looked as if she died in Infinity War

ashen jungle
#

Uh actually it's very well explained why they went Rogue. I'll try and keep it brief.

gaunt ice
#

ill cut short for Riven:

ashen jungle
#

Rogues got caught in the original Dark Zone. It's why they hate the JTF so much.

gaunt ice
#

1.JTF are useless

spare arrow
#

Went against their mission, basically.

gaunt ice
#

2.exploitation of authority

ashen jungle
#

They got trapped in there, trying to keep the civvies alive. Most died, the ones that lived went mad.

gaunt ice
#

well its totally justified for me

ashen jungle
#

in Div2 they were turned into "tied innocents to a railroad track" though.

round sinew
#

Yeah, but I doubt every rogue came from the DZ. We see in the books you can go rogue kind of easily.

ashen jungle
#

That's where Keener's team came from. Rogue faction, not just rogue agents.

#

the one that worked with the Cleaners in WONY was hit by a fire turret and got badly burnt, was saved by the Cleaners.

gaunt ice
#

imagine being stuck in a death zone that you have to keep a mask on your face 24/7,abandoned by your so-called teammates,and got killed the moment you try to get out

round sinew
#

I think the Manhunts do a middling job of telling us why we should be killing the rogues. Some have a good reason like they're crazy or fragged a room full of kids.

#

But some are just "kill them because they're rogue"

ashen jungle
#

I let them shoot first. They always seem to.

gaunt ice
#

well i want to see a rouge redeem him/herself

round sinew
gaunt ice
spare arrow
#

We are mostly going after them because they have been working with the main boss, and may have some way to figure out where the prime target is.

gaunt ice
#

betrayed

round sinew
#

Hell, Jupiter's cell in general seemed pretty chill.

#

Compared to, say, Hornet's.

gaunt ice
#

hornet looks like someone who came out of a gay fanfic

round sinew
#

Woah now.

ashen jungle
#

Let's hold off on the homophobia. No need for that.

gaunt ice
#

yeah

#

just sayin,that friendship with keener sounds too....

spare arrow
#

Dont say it.

gaunt ice
#

irregular

round sinew
#

Dude

#

They're combat buddies

spare arrow
#

Stop that though or so help me.

gaunt ice
#

ok ill stop

#

i promise

round sinew
#

They have exactly the relationship I'd expect of best friends who've been in wars together.

vast bolt
#

what if they are in love? is that gonna change anything?

gaunt ice
#

i mean,even one of the rouges in the campaign called the out

gaunt ice
#

youll give someone ideas

ashen jungle
#

Frankly it's none of anyone's business if they are.

vast bolt
#

stfu and leave them be

gaunt ice
#

i mean its just interesting subplots

vast bolt
#

dude

#

nobody asked

round sinew
#

Well they're both dead now, so it's a moot point.

gaunt ice
#

ok

#

stoppppppppppp

#

ok new topic:what would you expect for the 3rd dlc?

round sinew
#

You mean the DLC we're gonna get: Nightmare? Or like if we could build our dream DLC?

ashen jungle
#

Horde Mode, but that's cheating because we know that's what it is.

gaunt ice
#

anything you like

round sinew
#

Yeah it's gonna be zombie hordes. I want Survival 2, but Massive likes to blueball me.

gaunt ice
#

mines a Detroit:Become Human type of

#

im sick of being told what to do

#

even your character doesnt have a voice

round sinew
#

Oh. You mean a plot where you play as a Rogue?

gaunt ice
#

no,like i can decide how the story is layed out

round sinew
gaunt ice
#

no im not that deep

#

but have you ever got cringed by that fact?

round sinew
#

Deciding our own story would be cool. But that's a little... Hard to pull off Tbh.

gaunt ice
#

like when Faye pull you out of that helo,you dont even move your eyes?

#

they have the audacity to charge 20 bucks fr a dlc

round sinew
#

I wore sunglasses in D1 so I never saw my eyes lmao.

gaunt ice
#

me2

spare arrow
#

20 bucks isnt much.

round sinew
#

^

gaunt ice
#

but on my second playthough,i got so cringed that i never played div1 since then

round sinew
#

I'd say WONY is a 20 dollar DLC.

gaunt ice
#

20 bucks is alot in my country

round sinew
#

Not all DLCs are created equal, but that one is a solid DLC. Better than the expansions we got in D1.

gaunt ice
#

but cant say the same for everyone

round sinew
#

The DLCs in D1 were pretty small, so I can't complain about how good WONY was, even if I hate half the narrative.

gaunt ice
#

but they're the first one to have Hunger Games outside of Minecraft

#

thou

round sinew
#

The stuff we paid for in D1 is being given to us free in D2.

#

What.

#

I think hunger games was the first to have hunger games

vast bolt
#

just so you think "o damn this game is great" and "ubi has learnt from their mistakes"

#

ever realized you gotta buy the game twice to be able to make actual progress?

#

div 1 wasn't a rose sea

round sinew
#

looks at all the Ubi games I've bought and played
Joke's on you. I don't think that at all.

vast bolt
#

but this... is far far worse

#

good

gaunt ice
#

well they got better with the graphics,atleast with this one

#

they didnt bamboozle everyone with that fake graphics

round sinew
#

It's not that bad.

#

D2 is far better with paid content than D1.

#

They've at least improved in this specfic franchise

gaunt ice
#

yeh

vast bolt
#

at least in div1 you didn't need to pay to make progress

#

and you got actual rewards for grinding

round sinew
#

You're right. You just needed to pay for not-DLC

vast bolt
#

only needed to buy the game once

#

not once n a half

round sinew
#

Okay. I don't really understand where you're coming from. I'm gonna drop it.

gaunt ice
#

what if theres a event for non dlc players to grab the dlc for free?

round sinew
#

Oh. That's bad.

vast bolt
#

never gonna happen

#

not even in a perfect reality

round sinew
#

That's the worst idea.

gaunt ice
#

like a competitive one,1 out of 100

spare arrow
#

Devs need to pay rent.

round sinew
#

That's even worse? Stop this.

gaunt ice
#

ah i forgot about that

round sinew
#

I'm more than willing to pay for DLC if I enjoy the game and the content is worth the pricetag.

gaunt ice
#

i feel so bad now

round sinew
#

Also, imagine how you'd feel if you bought the DLC only for a few months later it's being given away for free.

#

You'd be livid

gaunt ice
#

ok ive been really stupid saying that

round sinew
#

Okay, that gave me a chuckle

gaunt ice
#

anyone wants to switch topics?cuz everything ive proposed this evening sounds really stupid

round sinew
#

Yeah, my next topic: I need to get to work.

gaunt ice
#

oh good luck then

#

well looks like everyone is dismissed

#

im all alone now

spare arrow
#

Some of us are still here.

gaunt ice
#

well i still feel bad for what i said up there

spare arrow
#

Why should you feel bad? its not gonna happen, so dont get too wound up about it.

gaunt ice
#

idk,i guess im just too emotional

#

but i mean,a dev might see this and got sad

spare arrow
#

More likely, one of the devs'll see this and go "Wow, thats never happening"

gaunt ice
#

well that made me feel better

lost galleon
#

you might not know this but Keener callsign is Vangaurd

spare arrow
#

Kajika, Dragov, and Parnell have callsigns we arent currently aware of, but according to an audio log in season 1, Conley's callsign is Uranus. It could also be possible that that is a given callsign, but we arent sure.

#

All of the rogues in the manhunts have callsigns too.

gaunt ice
#

well Keener's callsign is pretty ez to know,theres a audio log in the white house that literally confirms that

lost galleon
#

and his gun too

gaunt ice
#

his gun is called vanguard?

lost galleon
#

no
"The Grudge"

#

-Aaron "Vangaurd" Keener

gaunt ice
#

oh that one

#

i dont think its actually his gun

#

it just has random quotes on it

lost galleon
#

i mean he use a CMMG when we fight him and he drops it so....

gaunt ice
#

like if you buy one with Mendoza's quotes on it,does it automaticly assume its hers?

#

NO,CUZ I BOUGHT IT FROM THE DZ VENDORS
