Since the real bar is operating hovercrafts that big in the first place. Where are they based when nothing goes on, and how exactly does a PMC be able to operate at least four at once?

cold bramble
#

They seem pretty handy with remote controls and they don't seem to have any lack of employees.. I don't know if it's documented how autonomous they are, could be that they only require action for specific tasks.

#

The amount of resources and personnel thrown at the Division agents must be running dry for Black Tusk right? Even with Rogue Agents and Hunters on their side, it doesn't seem like they have made a dent into DC

#

SHD presence actually got stronger the harder the opposition pushed- a significant amount of Black Tusk officers are now gone, High profile Rogue Agent cells are being systematically wiped out, The various gang factions are fragmented due to their leadership no longer being there

lilac mason
#

Aye, safe to say The Sheriff (us) single handedly revived JTF and SHD presence in DC and thoroughly curbstomped all opposition

#

At this point in the story, we SHOULD be a force to reckon with with the amount of gears we recovered from all 4 factions

#

From the start of the game where JTF was crying like a baby from a mere group of hyena fools attacking them, militias wielding golf clubs and baseball bats, and division agents were down to 2 squads worth of manpower and just 2 by the time we got to them (Kelso, Brooks, Espinoza, Edwards, Lee, Maya's squad, that one dead body in front of the capitol)

gaunt ice
#

And the game still refused to mention us at any point in the lore.I’m talking about how everyone atleast know of how much of a badass I am when I wooped ass 4 factions simultaneously and singlehandedly

dusky pulsar
#

That's not true, there are a handful of comms with manny/kelso and sawyer/henry-whatshisface that directly mention the player character

sleek plover
#

I mean imagine the sheer coping and depression those true sons fascist would feel when fireworks are on sky after ridgeway died

#

"We just lost our CO, and they are celebrating."

gaunt ice
#

“You’re laughing,Our general just died and you’re laughing.”

floral gull
#

Manny had a personal vendetta with Ridgeway after all, even as to tell you about it in the comms right after you kill him

#

Not to mention our 2nd wave agent currently fights on 2 fronts-NYC and DC. Managing to kill public enemy number one Keener, and also securing both Tchernenko, Schaeffer and the Bioreactor...This agent is in a league of their own vs our previous one.

#

1st wave agents go rogue, while 2nd wave agents go chad

gaunt ice
#

average Rogue fans vs average Agent enjoyers

#

Lau tried to play the 4 parallel universes ahead of you card and got clapped for it

#

She Didn't need to go rogue

lilac mason
#

She took our agent's tendency to roll any opposition into account, but technical difficulties got her butt clapped

mint citrus
#

I still wonder what would have happened if she blew our cover

#

Her cover

#

She was able to send us intel on her lieutenants

#

I didn't buy the whole "Faye was evil the whole time" thing but I could be wrong

round sinew
#

Faye got what she deserved

dusky pulsar
#

Hey man, she didnt choose to be forced sequel bait for division 3

lilac mason
#

Well they could pull anything at this point, she and Kelso were in on the whole undercover shtick together and needed us to curbstomp everything to keep eyes away? Maybe

dusky pulsar
#

Idk about that, there's a comm where faye tries to stop Kelso from going to liberty island

mint citrus
#

Yep

#

She, like Dutch Van Der Linde, had a PLAN

#

But we messed it up

lilac mason
#

And if it wasnt for the meddling agents she wouldve taken us to TAHITI and met uncle Dutch

Instead,we sent her to Brazil

In the The Division Agent Origins who are the guys that escaped from prison? Cleaners? rikers?

they make LMB look like saints

Also I assume LMB isn't funded and trained by the Chinese and Russians. But I could be wrong.

Actually, wait.

yeah maybe we were Commie's pawns,but we fought the good fight

LMB is now with Black Tusk, and they're backed by Russia.

There might be something to this.

uhhh no?they are out of the question for now

Where was LMB and Black Tusk in the 1960s, I wonder.

cuz only the nyc's lmb force does all of that?they've gone AWOL?

Based.

Tbh I doubt LMB was around. Bliss doesn't seem old enough.

also new avt?cool

whoever said we are going to get the short end of the stick for div 2 dlc is most likely right as well because of this article

why yes,a mobile game,exactly what we asked for.as if there has been zero failed Ubisoft mobile games

kek its actually in it

gaunt ice
#

apart from Rainbow 6 Shadow Vanguard,that was some great shit

cold bramble

this update will include an entirely new game mode for The Division franchise and new methods for levelling your agents with an emphasis on increasing build variety and viability

#

ima give Heartland a try,cant die from cringe if you've survived fanfiction

#

first and foremost:being a free-to-play puts your game at risk of being infested with hacks

#

second:
"They turned The Division into a mobile game.A MOBILE GAME.FUNNIEST SHIT IVE EVER SEEN!"

Don't worry, I'll be mad when the mobile game comes out.

round sinew
#

Heartland could be interesting. I need to see more to pass judgement.

cold bramble
#

nothing in that post is actually bad, everything in there means new lore (unless they go the bs meme route with the mobile game then its bad)

it looks like a far cry made division game to me-

i would love to see you ranting about everything and feel annoyed everytime i ping you
(also genuinely,sorry for that constant pinging and being a brat sometimes)

#

if it is a game...

round sinew
#

I expect the mobile game to be like that Tom Clancy Heroes or whatever it was called.

gaunt ice
#

Tom Clancy comes back from the dead and beat the shit out of Ubisoft

round sinew
#

Heartland I can only assume will be a standalone Survival mode. Could be interesting.

#

I await it being a BR though.

#

It'll get ratio'd into the dirt.

#

I can't see too many ways Heartland or Mobile don't get ratio'd, actually.

#

i mean,saw the gameplay,a solid 7.5

#

wouldve done better if Apex wasnt there

cold bramble
#

they would be competing directly with scavengers if its survival, warzone if its the br shit

#

scavengers is identical to survival except with apex squad/class system

cold bramble
#

have a feeling heartland is a horde mode game

#

could be survival since they've known about the want for it and the request to be standalone but i just have a hunch its going to deal with hordes

#

Could maybe merge the two somehow?

#

Now sure how... random thought really

I saw the post earlier about Heartlands, and I'm getting the feeling that it might be set in Boston. That water tower and the factory in the distance...I dunno, its giving me Fallout 4 vibes, and also I actually overheard in the BoO today someone talking about Boston needing help.

high possibility it will be a battle royale. sigh.

Its either a battle royale or mmorpg

i dont think so, because TD1 and TD2 are mmorpg

TBH i hope it is strategy or settlment building

considering there is an option to search for it in-game, i believe there is

just gotta you know, look

kind tangle
#

Is there any new leaks on heartland?

#

Cant seem to find any so far

#

For all i know, new ‘free-to-play’ are probably gonna be cheaply made with little to no progression in endgame, just a prejudiced judgement

sick lantern
#

the game got revealed like two days ago and you’re expecting leaks?

kind tangle
#

Maybe 😄

cold bramble
#

if "leaks" were to happen, it would be with the testing phase

#

leaks without an actual credible source besides "i have sources because youtuber" is dogshit

i expect it would be 3 minutes of Keener dancing to "Never Gonna Give You Up"

#

datamining is even more worthless then dogshit, you for all you know is spreading actual trash data

given how dogshit Season 4 lore is,it would happen and still be canon

He wasnt fast with doing it,not at all,there would have been a big enough window to shoot him,especially since we Both already aimed at him

#

Yeah lol

#

without that happening then there's no shd level, no rogue network, no "seasons".
Ultimately it's part of the "willing suspension of disbelief" needed for cinematic stuff/long form story

And yeah, I don't like that ending.. but eh

Yeah i Agree,but Could have Been handled smoother
Idk,make it a failsafe mechanic or whatever. But doesn’t really matter,was just a small detail that bothered me

What bothered me more was kelso's arrival.

I often think of scenes like that as the events retold, which is why some scenes/images linger for a while, some things are over dramatised/disproportional, and some events shown in sequence actually happens at the same time. (I apply it to movies/tv shows too). But yes, suspended disbelief is the keyword.

#

Oh I was on somewhat old history, but still, re Keener/the ending. (And several other elements of the story)

I get the feeling that Kelso was following you the whole time you were fighting on Liberty Island

I think she was fighting her own share of BT troopers

I would say she’s more of a support role

Like,you seriously don’t think you just took on a whole battalion by yourself aye?

#

I just want to have a scene where Bard just say “Hey Agent,maybe you can help us?It would benefit us both.”

Also while the player agent is canonically alone for most stuff, in scenarios like the Liberty Island Charlie-Foxtrot it would be really helpful to have someone else handling how we're supposed to get off the island

I mean,it’s understandable

true , but by now half of the community has seen it and made their own opinions on it all , plus its only an alpha test from who know how long ago , the game may have changed since then and probably will until release day anyway

Well, it's hard for them to draw a line and cover everything you can and can't say, so they instead make it easy and say you can't talk about it at all. It's a much easier rule to both follow and enforce. Removes any discussions about what's "sensitive" or not, and removes excuses like "I didn't know that specific info was secret".

#

Well, they can only sue for contract breach, you can't actually be jailed for it. (You could perhaps be jailed as an indirect consequence if you fail court appearances or ignore fines etc though)

Well, since he hasn't been activated yet, he wouldn't have any skill build gear, so it'd probably wear off before suffocating him.

Of course, if he hadn't been activated yet, he wouldn't have any skills either...

yea SHD tech doesn’t come online until you’re activated, and the skills agents have with them before they’re activated are the most rudimentary ones

we took schaeffer hostage, and killed the deceit hunter. so....

And again the Deceit Hunter and Summit Hunters Fight Differently then the other Hunters their fighting style is Close in on your opponent and Be More Offensive

Ehh So he is Dead Whateva

gaunt ice

Summit is not Canon

spare arrow
#

thing is- until you summon the hunters, they dont close in

#

so like, why bring up their fighting styles

gaunt ice
#

Deepthro- I mean deep lore

dry spear
#

I mean When I fight the Normal Hunters they just try to keep distance same if its a 1v2 but the Summit and Deceit ones are Different for Example D1 Hunters Used to do Coordinated attacks with perfect strikes and timings while the D2 Hunters Usually hide and keep distance from Agents

#

But the Summit Hunters and the Deceit Hunter fight more like D1 Hunters

#

For all we could know they could have Regiments battalions or whatever but they way the fight sre completely diffirent

#

This could mean one of the group's are Imposters

gaunt ice
#

Amogus

dry spear
#

Another pointer is the Stalker Hunters although: "a HuNtEr StAlKs HiS PrEy" the stalker hunters are a Signal the D2 Hunters are Sloppier then D1 Hunters which we can only Find in DZ and Such Areas While we can Find the D2 Hunters Hiding Spots.

#

Not Only that thw Support Agent Side Quest couls be a Recreation of the time in D1 we find a Missing Agent Watch in a white Circle Marked by The Hunty Boys only that in D2 ehem star wars voice ITS A TRAAAP

gaunt ice
#

I’d say that D2 agents are much better,and it’s harder hiding from your prey without all the snow and shit

dry spear
#

UNLESS The City literaly turned into a Jungle

#

And The D1 Hunters are Dressed Way Bulkier then D2 Hunters and they manage to hide better especially that Sam Fisher NVG Lookin one

#

Which btw I noticed some hunters in D2 Have Masks from D1 as in Recreated Masks

#

Like the NVG one

#

Or Like that One Hunter who just finished a Mission and Literaly walks up to you behind a Fence

cold bramble
#

I don't think it's accurate to think of it as "hiding spots" just because the game mechanic to trigger the encounter makes it seem that way. I think each of the encounters are better seen as just haphazard events, like you were bored taking pot shots at windows/abandoned buildings and have been doing it all night, attracting the attention of a hunter.

dry spear
#

True

cold bramble
#

I haven't done any of them beyond Deceit though, but I looked through the youtube guides in preparation and made a point of trying to envision a lore perspective on each summoning. Also I think some of the fights makes best sense as a fight retold after-the-fact, so it has exaggerations, missing details, oversimplifications etc. The way you tell the story to your buddies at the bar.

dry spear
#

Thing is the Hunters are Known for The Coordinated attacks like in Survivak when you try to extract an Anti Viral

Some hunters have a Discription!

Like the Wraith Hunter at the Veteran Memorial: "Everything I touch turns to ash"

cold bramble
#

Oh, are those displayed when you die to them, or where can they be seen?

dry spear
#

When u die

#

U do inspect

#

But some hunters like Adamant Mask Summit guy Have this in their Discription: DATA CORRUPT

#

Now here is my Theory

#

Hunters with Masks in Different shapes like the Skull ones

#

Are Higher Ranking Members of the CHU (Covert Hunter Union)

cold bramble
#

Ah cool, I will make sure to remember to read them when I die to them.

#

BUT

#

SOME HUNTERS CAN ONLY. BE SPAWNED ONCE IN YOUR CHARACTERS WORLD

#

LIKE THE PSHYCO AND VICTIM HUNTERS IN WLONY

#

War Lords of NYC

cold bramble

Oh harsh, there is one I've tried (where you shoot four windows in an inside court yard) two times but not any of the other open world ones. I thought they were all on 24h cooldown if you failed the encounter. Good to know.

dry spear
#

So if you Die to Them You have tk Find Another Session

#

Also Some Hunters Cant be Spawned if you Boost you Characters level or Go to NYC

#

Something with THE you Wont be Able to Access some side quest with Boosted Characters

cold bramble
#

Hmm, which hunter can only be spawned if you actually level up? I don't recognise any mention of that from the guides.

#

(I have one old school 40, levelled through DC, paused for two years and then levelled to 40, and two boosted 40.)

Hunters Have Specific Levels

Year 1 Game Launch Hunters are Level 30 and War Lords of New York Hunters are level 40

#

Yep PTSD From Every Single Time I died to a Hunter and the Time I found the Ghost Hunter at the Washington Monument By myslef and got scarred to seath

#

The Hunters Use a Stronger Version of the Jammer Pulse since their Jammer Pulse Malfunctions Any Electronic Device's Even if the Jammer Wasnt Activated So I can only Assume its a WAY STRONGER Version of Our Jammer Pulse.

(if the hunter requires night to spawn, that is)

like i’ve seen a few of Div 2’s collectibles, some of them just aren’t up to standard
i saw one echo in the beta, maybe it’s changed now idk, but it reused Rioter models from Div 1

The c u r e

cold bramble
#

It relies on the assumption that comms back to Moscow hadn't been interrupted

#

The Langley Reports also suggest that Russia went to shit after Green Poison showed up there

#

So even if comms weren't interrupted, was there anyone to pick up the phone? Was there anyone to respond who could get there and not instantly die to an LMB rusher?

gaunt ice
#

1.At that point Russia’s not that fucked up
2.The entire server underneath is made for spying,sending data to Russia.So atleast someone in the KGB must have an idea of what to do

If they can find this guy,it would help them a lot with the cure thing

well it probably wouldve been very difficult for the Russians to intervene during an international quarantine

Can you educate me on who LMB is? Never played Div1 and they only get brought up like...once in div2 coms (that I have found so far)

spare arrow
#

The Last Man Battalion was a PMC headed by Charles Bliss. the LMB was deployed by some wall street firms to protect their assets.

#

Bliss decides that the local goc't is doing a shit job, takes over by force with the LMB as the new force keeping "the peace". Keener saw this, and took advantage of Bliss & his PMC.

#

Oh and then some of the remnants ended up joining black tusk right? I remember reading that on the snitch cards

A bit before the Agent goes to NY for WONY, the PMC has been crippled from the loss of its command structure & leader, and gets absorbed into Black Tusk.

I think the nazi comparison is more true for the methods than the values themselves though, but I have to revisit Div1 to fully remember what Bliss actually said/envisioned

sick lantern
#

the colour scheme and usage of their logo is based off the nazi swastika flag
they wear it on red armbands
General Assembly is invocative of the storming of the Reichstag

#

they attempt to make comeback military victories through the usage of relative “superweapons”

cold bramble
#

Yes but a lot of that imagery is not exclusive to the nazis but rather universal for a lot of authoritarian power moves and military juntas etc

sick lantern
#

it occurs so frequently because they’re all based on Nazis...

cold bramble
#

The have no doubt taken a lot of the aesthetics from the nazis, but for that specific trope it was just refined by the nazis, but large military displays were a thing before that too. But also it has influenced armies/power everywhere, so it's not really a unique nazi characteristic.

#

But it's all connotation unless one specifies what aspect they're comparing with nazis, since as an ideology and state goals I would argue it lacked a lot of common ground, but in terms of concept origin/inspiration and methodology it holds up.

JTF have spare APC everywhere in the city

#

LMB are a legally functioning company. They can't have more than a few thousand employees, most of which aren't soldiers. Unless we get new details, they have to be reasonably small.

#

Cleaners are centred around sanitation workers, but could reasonably recruit from anyone. So they have just as big a base as Rioters.

#

Hyenas are just any gang member in DC or anyone they convince to join.

Not millions big,but enough I guess

Sarge Russel Colfax best lmb

cold bramble
#

It's pretty standard operation for villains to try to convince the protagonist they are actually one and the same, and superficially we have a lot in common with Keener in terms of intellect, resourcefulness, highly trained skills and sheer determination/ability to get things done.

#

Surely that's attractive to someone like Keener if they can be turned/assimilated into his network. But we've also seen how he treats his other allies, and he probably used the exact same lines on them to pull them in. (And he wouldn't have gotten to where he is without being good at identifying cracks in the facade/internalised doubts, and what SHD agent haven't had doubts in the darkness, at one point or another.)

#

Typical revolutionary seduction speech, and pretty much ties into the Forer effect (Barnum statements) and generalised yet self-identifiable statements just like astrology. For instance, who doesn't act one way with someone in the room and slightly different when they're not there. It's a basic human condition to empathise and adapt socially to your surroundings, but framed the way Keener does it he makes you think it has a hidden meaning/reveals something deeply personal about yourself that nobody else sees.

#

TL;DR Don't trust Keener, Keener is ||asshole||.

im not saying that he's right or something

the line i quoted was not something like "youre just like me",its flat out "you did some bad shit before too"

# gaunt ice what he meant was that we have gone rogue too

Well, I can't remember the details but he basically says that he'd prefer to say it face to face but he's uncertain which "way we'll jump", i.e. if we would actually follow/join him. And things like he's sure we understand what he's trying to do/we see the world the same way where the old rules doesn't apply etc.

#

There is nothing in what he says that indicates we have actually done any rogue actions, and he finishes off with "You should consider joining me"

spring bison
#

@covert zealot Knock it off

gaunt ice
#

And when he said “which way you’ll jump”,it’s because he’s not certain on which sides are we on.Like,if he knows we’re a loyalist,he wouldn’t even left the ECHO behind

#

Or at least just don’t say the “I’d meet you but I won’t”

There is literally 0 indication the player in division 1 has gone Rogue or has any intention of going Rogue.

The JTF and first wave division agents couldn’t even control what would become the dz so they had to ditch the infected civilians and first wave division agents. Which is why keener get betrayed and went rogue

He couldn’t just sit there and volunteer and try to fight the virus. He went at it like a renegade and burnt folk

When society breaks down it's just a matter of time before you need to weigh saving a few lives vs sacrificing a few lives to save many more. (Terry Pratchett called it dreadful algebra of necessity if there are any Discworld fans here)

#

Doesn't make it morally right, but it does move it from bat shit crazy into more plain ambitious territory. His plan was not to burn down the world/cause undue suffering, he wanted to put a stop to the virus before it was too late, and considered ruthlessness acceptable since it shortened the total suffering/would bring an end to the virus sooner.

willow ice
#

Exactly. His speech at the napalm plant and phone recordings really made me side with him. Although he became immoral he tried to do good

cold bramble
#

Almost related: The other week I came up to a Summit floor where the entire room was on fire. I thought it was a new room type first (like the rare ones in UG) but realised it was Cleaners and Outcast scorchers fighting each other. That made me think a little bit about their animosity towards each other, where I as an agent kind of just see both of them as bad fire dude without much distinction.

But ideologically one of them wants to rid the world of the virus by burning away the infection where the other basically want the exact opposite, infect people with asymptomatic carriers and burn the healthy (well, everyone to be fair). Which.. Well, I don't really have a point but the contrast had never been so clear before.

#

Also I wish I had had the presence of mind to use photo mode because it looked epic.

I kinda love the contrast between the cleaners and scorchers, how you mentioned one wanted to do good but turned rogue and the other kill everyone and spread the virus.

It would have been interesting to see how Ferro would have seen the development, i.e. if he would have approved/shared her priorities as a leader.

#

It was Tchernenko that Keener used as leverage to convince her (and thereby the Cleaners) to join him, or maybe more as a lure than leverage per se. I wonder if Ferro would have been pulled in by the idea of revenge against Tchernenko (since Ferro's wife died early too). The faction leaders recruited by Keener are all rogue agents though, so maybe he wouldn't have approached Ferro at all.
